The Crystal Palace Of Heaven
Chapter 167: Food crisis
"Are you really ready to resign?"
"This is not a weird thing? You do n’t know my temper, you just stumbled around for so long that the secret police are running around, you must have spent all your hard work for a lifetime. I ca n’t do anything to get up. ”
"Don't you have been in the job for less than a year? It doesn't feel like you can do it anymore? It's not good for young people to work hard and hard, and it's not good for your career planning. And, as far as I know, you are not doing very well. "
As an excellent graduate of the Student Union Chairman of the Central Academy of Magic, and a young elite with a philosophy degree from the National University, a rising star in the federal political arena, a future outstanding successor of the Learning Alliance, Arantis has always been a self-discipline People who work hard as guidelines. In fact, he couldn't listen to Lu Xi's languid words, and now the diligently educated Tao.
"Eh? Is it only one year? Why do you always feel that a long time has passed?" Lu Xi complained with a tangled face: "Brother Alan, do you know that every time I see you, I think you leave It ’s a step closer to boredom. Well, when I first saw you there was a sense of humor. Now, look at you as a serious and worrying country, and you are a younger version of Master Russell. "
Alan Titi stunned slightly, then smiled: "Well, my dream is to become a character like a teacher, so what you say is good for me."
"There is always a feeling that my friends are getting farther and farther away from me ..."
"Did I not be like this?" Alantis smiled, but Wang Xilang's eyes looked a little complicated.
"When I first met you two years ago, I was a tender rookie who couldn't be tendered anymore. Even if I put it in my peers, it is just a mediocre magic rookie. But who can think of it, just more than half a year, you Able to defeat the **** of the Vilambat family in a duel, and then passed the exam with the aim of making the whole union. Then he repeatedly completed extremely dangerous tasks as an imperial history, and in that situation. Hold on to Heman City until the arrival of reinforcements. I haven't seen you in a year. Your strength should have surpassed me? "
When Lu Xi first met Arantis two years ago, he had just broken through the silver rank. And Alan is already a level 5 silver, the level of an elite battle mage. Two years later, Lu Xi has broken through the golden position and stood at the forefront of this world power pyramid, but Alan's strength has only grown by one order. After all, there is still no detachment from the general category.
A level 6 silver less than thirty years old. In fact, from a common sense point of view, it is already very good. In addition, as the secretary of the military secretary, a large amount of affairs will definitely involve most of his energy, and there will not be much time to practice. There can be such achievements now. In fact, it is worthy of his excellent teacher.
However, the so-called not afraid of not knowing the goods is afraid of comparing the goods. Compared with the vast number of living beings in this world, Arantis is naturally a social elite that everyone admires, but there is such a little brother beside him. Strength is increasing at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye. It has only been 2 years since he got the magician qualification, but Alan has completely lost sight of the other party’s power. He can only roughly estimate from the detailed report of the battle of the Black Man City that Lu Xi’s strength can even wear 4 stars, but It is because of seniority that it ranks 2 stars, which is called shocking.
If only this is the case, the key issue is that this genius, who can definitely be compared with his teacher of the legendary Austrian law, has no motivation. It seems that the guy who is lazy all over the body is thinking about when he can go back to the country to eat and die.
Alantis's character is not enough to jealous of his friend's talent, but with such a talent, but so lazy to squander his life, this is what makes him unsightly.
"The gods really don't open their eyes. Actually putting such a talent on you lazy guy is just a brutality!" Arantis shook his head angrily.
"Probably because the goddess and sister love me so much. So that I can finish my work in the shortest time, and I can sleep at home at other times until I wake up naturally."
"Hey, you guys dare to say that. For ordinary people like us who work hard. You just made the worst speech in history!"
"That's why I said, Master Ruther and you. I really don't have to expect too much from a bad guy like me. I can't save the world, and of course, I can't be a big man like him who cares about the country and the people. "
Arantis also wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly and stopped suddenly, but the two people in the car were startled. The second half of the sentence naturally swallowed in his throat.
"What happened?" Alan opened the window and asked the driver.
"Master, you may not be able to walk in front."
"Can't go over?" Lu Xi also opened the car window very curiously and looked forward.
The road that can accommodate a number of carriages passing side by side has been blocked by dense crowds, and the water is not leaking. There were already two carriages stopped in front of Alan. They should be forced to stop because of traffic obstruction. Both the driver and the owner got off the carriage and continually jumped and scolded, but there was no way.
In other words, these roadblockers simply don't care. Their attention was not at all on the traffic jammed by themselves. Even if they heard the scolding of the car owners who were dressed up by noble officials, they just glanced at each other with cold eyes, and then ignored it.
From the perspective of clothing, these people are just ordinary citizens. Among them are the elderly, women, and children. They are far away from the kind of "disinformation" that the government hates the most, and they don't seem to be trouble.
In fact, it is not.
These people hustle and bustle at the door of a large food store on the roadside, but I don't know why, when the business time has already arrived, the food store has never opened, and today there are more guests than usual. Over time, the crowd slowly gathered together, and soon expanded from the store entrance to the road, and then gradually formed a crowd of this size, causing traffic obstacles.
"Hey, that's really bad luck, I hope it won't take too long. Let's not let Master Russell wait for a long time." Traffic jam! This is really a long-lost scene, and Lu Xi suddenly felt very friendly.
"Also blame me. There are three food stores and two fruit and vegetable stores on this road, why did I forget this. Alas. This road should not be chosen at that time!" Arantis stomped helplessly, but It was annoyed.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Looking like this, the crowd will not be gone for a while. Can't let the teacher wait a long time ... Lu Xi, how can we walk forward? We can talk while walking."
"It doesn't matter ..." Anyway, it didn't take a few steps away from Ruther's mansion. Walking is no big deal.
well known. The vast majority of the territory of the Federation is floating islands in the sky. The territories on the ground are only three places, including the Port of Groren, the Breeze and Baldia, and the small is almost negligible.
Not counting those so-called floating islands, which at best are floating boulders, known by the Federation. There are about a thousand floating islands that can live. It looks like a lot, but it really needs to add up the area, and it is not even comparable to a small and medium-sized country on the mainland.
Such a country with scarce land has to feed more than 30 million immigrants of all ethnic groups, and the pressure on agriculture can be imagined.
In fact. More than 60% of the food in the Federation depends on imports from the world on earth.
For the Oakland Empire and the Virginia Empire, as long as the country’s grain exports to the Federation are cut off, more than half of each other’s citizens can starve to death within three months, and the regime collapses. For the Federation, if all the floating warships are dispatched, they can certainly turn more than half of the opponent ’s city into scorched earth within three months, even if the opponent sits on the invincible Holy Spring Knights and Nord Warriors. Still can only whip long, Yang Tianchang sighed.
so. The pattern of the world's three poles will always be based on the balance between power and power.
"In just one month, a total of four large floating ships were attacked in the Commonwealth, and they were all grain carriers between Eliashar and Groren. In addition, I don't know why. This news actually spread out, causing the public to panic. As for the consequences, this is not, you have also seen. "Alantis said.
"As a result, the grain prices in the capital have skyrocketed like eating Viagra? The citizens have started buying food. Then the grain merchants can just hoard the grains for food ... What does the government do? Is there no one to control it?"
"Most of Elixir ’s food wholesalers have the shadow of the doormen and nobles behind them. Not only will they not stop it, but they will definitely add fuel to the fire. The food store you just saw is one of them. That shop is only open for two hours a day, and everyone can only buy two pieces of bread, one silver solan ... "
"A loaf of bread and a silver coin. There is no lower limit for eating."
"And, what can I do if I ask the government to intervene? This is free trade, and it doesn't violate a federal law."
"Free trade? Hey, it seems that I have to give you a lesson in general knowledge theory of economics at some time." Lu Xi sneered. "In other words, a government that does not have the means of macroeconomic control is really weak. Is such a federation really okay? "
"What is macro-control?" Arantiti is very interested in this vocabulary that sounds very arrogant ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It takes at least a thousand words to explain, and I will talk about it next time. What we are facing now is the food price problem in the capital ... In other words, does the government have no grain reserves? As long as a part of it is sold on the market, prices can be stabilized soon? In this way, as long as the next grain ship arrives, will everything be fine? "
"The question you said was actually considered by the teacher at the beginning ... However, the use of strategic reserve grain requires the majority of the ruling committee to pass it. Do you think the Turner faction may support us? Do n’t forget that the teacher has just The gates are uprooted. Maybe, even this Eliashar’s food crisis is a revenge.
"Uh? In order to cheer up the Cass family where the whole family has entered, they used the people of the capital as cannon fodder, is that all?"
"I have always been willing to measure the face of the nobility of the doormen with the greatest maliciousness."
"... Brother Alan, I haven't seen you for a while, and your indignation is getting higher and higher."
