Chapter 240 Deception

After that, Mobak asked: "What after this batch of goods has been shipped? Your Majesty, hundreds of tons of food cannot save humans. What should I do after eating this batch of food? Unless the food promised to the Holy Spirit is taken away."

Luo Heng smiled: "No, humans do not lack food, but they are all concentrated in the hands of landlords and merchants. Now they cannot buy food because they hoard goods and accumulate goods. As long as they know that hoarding food will not make money."

After saying that, Luo Heng smiled again, and a very dangerous light flashed in his eyes: "And, do you really think that I, the King of Steel Bone, are vegetarians? Then, I will give them soft and hard methods together. All I need is a wise living person, not a nobleman who is not diligent in all limbs and grains."

Four days later, a large convoy came to the gate of the Giant Rock City. Hundreds of carriages carried baskets of baskets covered with felt cloth through the gate. No one knew what was inside, but these baskets were used to hold grain.

In recent days, Giant Rock City has begun to have a trend of shortage of food. Large grain merchants are reluctant to sell and restrict sales, which has caused panic. Whenever food is involved, it touches the sensitive hearts of civilians. They all look at their heads and try to see if it is food.

At this moment, the axle of a carriage suddenly broke, and gray sweet potatoes rolled down from the basket. The residents of the Giant Rock City naturally did not recognize this sweet potato from the thorny wasteland, but seeing the color and appearance, which were completely different from the food they knew, they immediately lamented.

The convoy's manager ran over and shouted, "Oh, it's broken, it's a waste of food, you idiots, why don't you pick it up quickly."

Food? The onlookers were shocked. Are these things food?

The convoy's guy packed up the things, and there were still a few people who had broken skin left. The manager sighed with regret: "What a good grain, it's just broken, so it can't be wasted."

As the manager said, he tore open the outer skin of the sweet potato, revealing the golden melon meat inside. He bit it down with an intoxicating expression on his face.

It was indeed food, and it could still be eaten raw. The onlookers surrounded him and looked at the sweet potato in the manager's hand with flickering eyes.

The manager was startled, but he was not stingy. He just divided the sweet potatoes that had been cracked on the skin on his hand and said, "This kind of food is called sweet potatoes. They were cultivated by the King of Steel Bones. Only the King of Steel Bones can save humans. Look, the food will come soon. This is the food sold by the King of Steel Bones to the city lord. It is very cheap and the amount is large. There are still hundreds of thousands of kilograms being transported here later."

Eating the pink and sweet sweet potatoes, the hearts of the onlookers quickly calmed down.

That night, the city lord Mafa summoned the nobles and merchants in the city and held a new grain tasting meeting. Various foods made from sweet potatoes were presented like flowing water, including sweet potato porridge, sweet potato soup, sweet potato cakes, roasted sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, sweet potato flour, etc., which are dazzling and have different flavors.

All the aristocrats and merchants were present, and they had nothing good to eat. In addition, they were social occasions, so they were not here to eat. But despite this, most people actually ate 70% full, and even had enough food.

There are many styles and there is always one that suits your taste.

Later, Mafa announced that sweet potatoes with a total volume of 600,000 jin will be sold to civilians at a low price. Everyone can buy them with their handprints, and each person can purchase one jin per day.

It was also announced that the railway from Jushicheng to Steel Bone Collar has been officially opened. If anyone needs to go to Steel Bone Collar, he can go directly to Caiyun Village to buy tickets.

The noble merchants in the entire Stone City were blown up, and Mafa was going to cut off their wealth.

As Luo Qing said, humans do not have no food, but do not sell it. The main reason is to hoard.

The grain was a pile of dead objects. The earthquake just shook the granary, but it didn't shake the grain. Even if it was buried underground, it would be dug up.

Apart from terraced fields, it is easy to restore other arable land. There are no particularly large-scale water conservancy projects in this era. Renovation is not a problem, so as long as we survive next year, the grain will continue to be harvested.

Emily's world is because it invaded the demon abyss and summoned too much labor and food, which caused the famine, which is completely different from the situation in the human world.

Hoarding is to make money. In the past, the food was extremely rich. Because of the Druids, the grain output in this world was still very high, and no matter how much food you planted, it could not be sold at a price.

As soon as the grain prices in a certain place rose, various guild and chamber of commerce purchase information emerged immediately. In a few days, a large number of vendors transported the grain to suppress the price of grain.

Now there is a rare opportunity. There is a shortage of food in all places and we can just take the price to start, but Mafa is going to cut off their financial resources!?

Each person has a low price limit, how can their food increase?

"Your Highness Mafa, there are thousands of people in my family. It's too troublesome to buy it every day, so let's buy it for a month first."

"Yes, Your Highness Mafa, there are more than 2,000 people in my family and the village, so I can buy it for a month."

"Our chamber of commerce has more than 6,000 people and needs food. If possible, I will buy it for two months first. After all, we have to go to business and it is impossible for us to buy things every day."

The nobles and merchants present said, and I wanted to wrap hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes of Mafa.

These nobles and merchants came one by one, and Mafa could ignore them, but when they put pressure on each of them, Mafa could not ignore them. Each of these people had considerable power in their hands.

However, Mafa smiled slightly: "Everyone wants to buy sweet potatoes? Do you have no food at home?"

"Yes, yes, we have no food at home." Everyone said one after another.

"Raise your hand and let me see." Mafa said with a smile, with a hint of meaning in his smile.

A few clever guys leaned quietly into the corner without raising their hands, but most of them raised their hands excitedly. There were not many opportunities to make money, and there were not many opportunities to put pressure on a city lord, let alone such a beautiful female city lord.

Mafa turned around and said to the curtain behind him: "His Majesty the King of Steel Bone, these people have no surplus food at home. Mafa asks you to sell the sweet potatoes to them at a fair price."

The curtain slowly opened, and a skeleton wearing dark soul armor was sitting on the high-backed throne, revealing a golden head.

Of course, this skeleton is not Luo Xu, but Teddy. Luo Xu's head has turned into purple and gold, which does not meet the public's impression of the King of Steel Bone, so Teddy is let to pretend.

Teddy sat upright on the chair according to Luo Ying's teachings and said in a deep voice: "Accurate, your family has no food. It's so pitiful. I remember you. Sweet potatoes can be sold to you. If any of your family has food to take it out, it's just a lie to me. No one of you is lying to me, right?"

Teddy's eyes swept away, and the nobles and merchants were silent. Oh my God, I was fooled. The food I had hoarded could not be sold. Once it was sold, it would be a deception to the emperor.
