Chapter 742 Hongmen Banquet, facing the Chen family!(2/2)
Before he walked in, Chen Shen's loud voice came over first, attracting frequent glances from others around him.
"Mayor Chen is overly praised. Compared to you, I am so young and promising!" Sumo stood up and faced everyone who was approaching with a smile on his face.
This neither humble nor arrogant appearance surprised the other first-generation members who walked over.
"Oh? Compared with me, you are really interesting." Although Chen Shen's expression could not be seen under the silver mask, an obvious smile could be heard in his voice.
"They are all trained by Su Shen, they can be considered brothers, so we can skip these false etiquettes." Chen Shen was the first to sit down when he came, and he behaved naturally.
Sumo's expression remained unchanged and he sat down, but his heart sank.
"Su Shen?"
"Haha, you are an interesting person, so let's not talk about it for now." After greeting the other first-generation members to sit down, Chen Shen clapped his hands, and immediately the clever waiter began to serve the dishes.
After a while, the originally empty table was filled with a variety of dishes with unique aromas.
"Eat first, and then talk after you finish." Chen Shen moved the first chopstick neatly, and the others were not polite.
Suddenly, the entire food on the table began to be sucked in like a whirlwind of clouds. Zhang Min looked next to him and was stunned.
"Why do these people look like they haven't eaten?"
After looking at Chen Shen from the left for a while, Zhang Min muttered inwardly and turned around, only to realize that Su Mo had started eating so much that he didn't know when, and he didn't look unfamiliar at all.
Instead, she was left alone, like an outsider.
"Are you really here to eat?"
Feeling startled, for fear of being stared at by Chen Shen's piercing eyes again, Zhang Min could only pick up the chopsticks and start eating.
The storm continued like this until about half an hour passed and the table was in a mess.
Only then did everyone lean back in their chairs contentedly and slow down their eating speed.
"I thought Mr. Su would be a little surprised today, but I didn't expect you to get used to it so quickly." Seeing that there were several piles of residual bones gathered in front of Su Mo, Chen Kai took the lead to speak and broke the silence.
"We are in the end of the world, and danger will come at some point. The speed of eating should be practiced early in the morning."
"What's more, this meal means one meal is missing. Now that food prices have risen so much, who knows whether we will be able to afford it tomorrow?"
After calmly stepping back two steps to give the waiter a space to clean up the garbage on the table, Somo said calmly.
"Oh? Mr. Su Youzong seems to have some opinions on the price of food in the territory?"
Chen Shen's long and narrow eyes under the mask were looking over, which was slightly piercing.
He originally thought that his side would be the first to launch the attack tonight, but he didn't expect that Sumo would take the lead and want to take the initiative?
"That's not true. Mayor Chen should know that although the price of food in our Tianyuan territory is rising, it is also stagnant in other territories, and the range is even much greater than ours."
"I just feel a little emotional. What are the thoughts and ideas of these people who are manipulating the rise in food prices?"
"What's the idea? Of course you want to prey on ordinary people and compete for your own interests!"
Before Chen Shen could speak, Chen Yi, who was sitting next to him on the table, fired first with a cold tone.
"Originally, the price of food in the entire New World was going to rise last year due to the manipulation of these beasts in Wuya Mansion. If our territory hadn't been forcibly attacked under the command of the clan leader, how could we have been able to maintain it for this year!"
"Su Youzong, you are also in the grain industry. You don't know the relationship between supply and demand. Now the market demand is far greater than the supply. Isn't it natural that the price will rise?"
"Chen Yi, lower your voice." Chen Kai frowned and looked to the right.
"How could Mr. Su not know that if he hadn't developed the stone harvester, how could our Sangtian Town be able to recover some crops this time?"
"Harvesting? Just those 10,000 to 20,000 acres of land are not enough for anyone. Even the people of Sangtian Town can't feed themselves." Chen Yi's face did not change, and he did not care about Chen Kai's words at all.
"On the other hand, Mr. Su, if the Nengshi Harvester can be announced in advance this time, our territory may be able to save all the land, but I don't know."
"I thought so too, but the territory didn't notify the disaster in advance, right?" Looking at Chen Yi's "angry face", Sumo wasn't angry either, and just answered gently.
"Notify? Do you think that only after notifying the disaster will you hand over the technology of this stone harvester? Do you know that it is because of your behavior that we have lost millions of acres of land this year?" Chen Yi
Suddenly his voice became stern and his eyes stared closely at him.
"That's enough! Chen Yi!" Chen Kai raised his voice.
"Not enough! In Xishou County, hundreds of thousands of acres of land have not been harvested this year. Tens of thousands of people will face survival problems in the second half of the year. This Su Youzong clearly has this technology, but he wants to hide it and seek personal gain."
"If you could announce this technology in advance, how could these tens of thousands of people end up in trouble?"
Questions like a flood suddenly broke out on the field.
At this moment, although Chen Yi's anger was only directed at Su Mo, the aura he showed made Zhang Min turn pale and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"I suggest that all of Zizailiangfang's harvest this year be returned to the territory and used as relief food!"
"Otherwise it will be difficult for the people to be angry!"
After eating and drinking, Chen Yi was arrogant and made no attempt to conceal his malice.
Chen Kai on the side tried to dissuade him, but to no avail, he could only make a helpless expression.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Zhang Min's mind was in confusion and he wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide.
She didn't understand why everyone suddenly became like this when they were talking very harmoniously just a moment ago.
She also didn't understand why Xishou County could suddenly put all the blame on other people because it had nothing to gain.
But she knew that once all the gains from Zizai Liangfang this year were really confiscated.
Needless to say, an army of tens of thousands of people demanding wages can tear apart and carve up every member of the Zhang family.
The momentum they finally have gained will soon turn into a moon in the mirror and a flower in the water.
"What are you doing?"
Trembling, Zhang Min raised his head tremblingly, wanting to refute.
But the next second, a warm big hand pressed on her hand, making her stop.
Looking in the direction of the big hand, under the light, Somo's face was still calm, and there was no sign of any anxiety or embarrassment.
Some still have the same indifference as before!
"Xishou County has a flat terrain and sufficient water resources. It has a total of 375,000 acres of farmland, which is the largest in Tianyuan territory. It is known as the "Tianyuan Granary" in the outside world. Among them, Xinghuo No. 3 wheat, Huahuo No. 1 wheat, Hongtian
Lei No. 5 wheat is the main crop, and the average yield in the territory is 1,755 kilograms. In the seven years of the wasteland, Xishou County harvested a total of 300,000 tons of wheat, with a total average yield of 1,605 kilograms per mu of land, ranking last among the 74 independent planting areas in the territory.
2. Being listed as a key regulatory target”
"Xishou County has a total permanent population of 92,000 people. Based on the calculation of 400 kilograms of grain per person per year, it needs to produce a total of 18,000 tons of grain. Last year's grain harvest alone, excluding the development needs of other counties and cities, was enough.
Supply food reserves for the entire population for at least five years.”
"According to Chapter 7 of the Tianyuan Territory Law and Article 18 of the Grain Reserve Law, each independent area manager must at least find a way to reserve grain surplus for the permanent population for at least one year each year, and any excess will not be allowed.
If the reward is less, the manager will be responsible for making up the amount.”
"According to Chapter 3 of the Tianyuan Territory Law, Articles 1, 3, and 9 of the Territory's Integrity Law, those who are listed as key supervision targets will automatically resign if they fail to meet the standards three consecutive times within a three-month period."
