Heavenly Dao Formula

That night, there was an uproar in the lobby of the Jinxia Affairs Bureau.

　　 In less than half an hour, officials from various departments have learned of the unexplained increase in food prices in Shenzhou. Even the princess rushed to the city from the villa and sat in the lobby to listen to the response meeting held by Xia Fan.

　　The biggest question is whether this is an accidental fluctuation, or is someone really behind the scenes.

　　If the former is the case, undoubtedly, it is only necessary to issue an announcement to soothe people's hearts and allocate a portion of grain to stabilize grain prices.

　　 But if it is the latter, the situation becomes complicated and troublesome.

　　 Among the officials present, the only one with experience is Wei Wushuang.

　　 Facing the people's repeated questions, he was obviously a little uncomfortable, and he became unsure of himself.

　　 After all, Wei Wushuang had never experienced such a battle before. No matter what decision he made before, the final influence was only on the individual, adding a large bowl of food at most. But now his words will determine the decision-making that affects hundreds of thousands of people. If there is a misjudgment, it will obviously cause a big blow to the prestige of Jinxia City.

　　 It was Hong Siqi who helped him at this time.

The former prefect stood up, bowed his hands to the princess and Xia Fan, and then said aloud, "Everyone, please listen to me. I have experienced three famines, and I am considered a little experienced person. Sometimes famines are not. Really famine, panic is the main cause of the disaster. People cannot know the truth and looted food, while sellers see profit and hoard them. Under the mutual influence of the two, the final result is that they cannot buy food at high prices. There is still a lot of food."

　　He paused, and stretched out two fingers, "So I propose to take two steps, not only to calm people's hearts, to make a confident posture, but also to prevent someone from deliberately raising the price for profit."

　　 This analysis made the discussion in the lobby drop by a few percent in an instant.

　　 Xia Fan looked at Hong Siqi, "With Lord Hong’s experience, how can we soothe people’s hearts?"

"Master Huixia, suppression is the mainstay, and relief is supplemented." He said decisively, "The rumors and spreaders can be arrested, and they can be killed in the street to prevent others. The relief team will send a special team to give porridge in the center of the town. Water effectively reduces the number of hungry people."

　　 "Then you will handle this matter." Xia Fan nodded, "But if the suppression is the main thing, you don't need to. You only care about relief, regardless of arrest."

　　 "My lord, rumors are the curse!"

　　 Hong Siqi has already seen it. Xia Fan has an inexplicable value to the people under his rule. He didn't hesitate to deal with the enemy, but he always seemed "fearful" in the face of these grassroots.

　　 In his opinion, it will be difficult to suppress the limelight without violently killing a few good people.

　　 "Have you ever thought that this may not be a rumor?" Xia Fan asked rhetorically.

　　 "No way... There was no sign of food shortage in Baihe and Anshen before. Even if the merchant wanted to raise the price, he would not sell the food at most. Master Xia meant..."

"If it's just a commercial act and someone wants to make huge profits, naturally they won't really be short of food." Xia Fan said in a deep voice, "but don't forget, our opponent may be the Privy Council, and behind them is the entire land of Kyushu. ."

　　'S words condensed the atmosphere of the scene.

　　 Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

　　 It's not that no one can think of this.

　　 But this is too harsh, and people who think of it will refuse to think deeply.

　　 Jinxia’s food is indeed surplus, and there is no problem even if it can be consumed for one year without supplies, but for the entire Shenzhou territory, that’s just a drop in the bucket.

　　 "Do they really dare to do this? In case it gets recorded in the history books..." someone whispered.

　　 "The slaughter recorded in the history books was also a traitor, and the Privy Council might even describe itself as a savior."

　　 Grandpa Li coughed twice and broke the silence and said, "If things really develop to that point, we can only abandon the town outside Jinxia."

　　 The two evils are the lesser of power. This idea is not wrong, but it is also a helpless choice.

　　 Xia Fan was about to speak when a notification sounded outside the lobby door.

"Come in."

　　 A clerk walked into the lobby and dictated the latest telegram from White River City to Xia Fan.

"My lord, the situation has become troublesome. Just now, there was a commotion on the streets of Baihe City, and the storefront of a grain shop was robbed. The branch staff who went out to publicize were also attacked by a woman named Wei Ruoyan. I was stabbed, if I can't get timely treatment, I'm afraid..." He hesitated, "I can't make it tonight."

　　 Apparently, White River City does not have first aid conditions.

　　 Xia Fan immediately made a decision and said, "Transfer her back to Jinxia City for treatment. You call back and ask them to wrap up the wound first and be prepared. Olena will come to pick up the person."

　　 Two to three days' journey, if the dragon is on the way, one or two hours is enough.

　　 And it can also carry an alchemist with a heart-feeling type to take care of it all the way-there are quite a lot of life-saving alchemy in the red, and the effect is far stronger than that of the herbal medicine.

"Yes!"

　　 "What happened?" Ning Wanjun asked.

　　 "The situation in White River City is rapidly deteriorating," Xia Fan roughly repeats the danger that happened there, "I guess it will become like this in other places. It's just a matter of time."

　　 "This is...too fast." Wei Wushuang clenched his fist, "It's as if someone wants to provoke a riot on purpose."

"No doubt, our opponent is not an ordinary businessman. The Privy Council has already begun to act." Xia Fan looked around on the spot, "Everyone, abandoning other cities and towns can save Jinxia, ​​but it also means letting the winter's efforts go to waste. And it didn't. In Shenzhou, it is not much easier to win a war by relying on a city alone than fighting a famine."

　　 "But if the entire Shenzhou is short of food, how do you save Master Xia?" Hong Siqi said in disbelief, "That's the food for millions of people!"

　　 Grandpa Li also frowned, UU reading www. uukanshu. com "For the moment, the surplus grain in Jinxia City is enough for the main towns in Shenzhou for one to one and a half months. In summer, the winter wheat can mature and it can be relieved for a while, and then there will be a bumper harvest in Gaoshan County in the fall. The premise of all this is normal supply and demand. Under the looting, the front is tight and the back is loose. The peak consumption of the first month will be much larger than the normal value. With the addition of someone secretly playing tricks, Jinxia City will not be able to sustain the relaxation period. Unless... ...There are five times as much grain."

　　 "Don't say five times, even two times can't be changed."

　　 "The amount of grain in Jinxia City is already abundant, and it is too difficult to increase on this base."

　　 There was a whisper in the venue.

Xia Fan was unmoved, "It's really not easy, but this battle Jinxia must not take a step back. It is both a crisis and an opportunity-the only way to deal with it is to face the enemy head-on. If we can face-to-face confrontation It is self-evident who is in charge of the Shenzhou Territory to defeat the enemy's intentions! As for the concerns of Grandpa Li and Lord Hong, I can understand, but you have also overlooked some things."

　　 "The figures you refer to are the normal reserves of Jinxia City on weekdays, but you have not seen the potential it has in extraordinary times. The previous changes and policies are all in response to the arrival of this day."

　　Although it is still immature and although it has many flaws, it is already a new city that transcends the times. Xia Fan wanted to see what kind of power Jinxia could burst out when the machine called the national will began to operate. He spread his hands and said, "Everyone, I want to see its true power."
