Chapter 76 After a Severe Drought, There Will Be a Severe Disaster
After chatting with my ancestor for a while.
The little guy Luochuan stood up silently.
I left this courtyard that exuded ancient charm.
"The humidity in the air seems to be gradually getting drier."
Looking at Luochuan's leaving figure.
Luo Changfeng suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
He opened his hands and silently felt the dry breeze coming towards him.
In his slightly narrowed eyes, his expression couldn't help but become more solemn.
Since then, his cultivation has reached the realm of organ refining, which is above bone refining.
He became more and more sensitive to changes in the environment.
If it were in the past, the air would be drier.
It doesn't seem like a big deal.
But now, the Gale Dynasty has been experiencing severe drought for several years.
Rainfall is falling every year, and grain production is plummeting every year.
Because Qingshi Town is located on the side of Huai River.
In the past few years, the Luo family in Qingshi Town and the cities near Huaishui County did not need to be paid too much attention to.
But the situation seems to be a little different now.
“A severe drought is often followed by a major disaster.”
"There won't be a disaster like a locust plague this year, right?"
"If that's the case"
"Then things will be even more troublesome."
Along with Qingshi Town, Huangqu Town.
After the food supply of these two cities was completely cut off.
The Luo family's land reclamation in Qingshi Town.
As well as food cultivation, he became more and more concerned about it.
Apart from these things, of course.
Luo An, the second eldest son of the Luo family, once again organized caravans one after another, bringing countless gold and silver treasures with them.
It seems that they want to exchange this for all the food that can be seen on the market.
At first, the Luo family's behavior went smoothly.
They successfully exchanged gold and silver for food on the market.
And all the food was transported back to Qingshi Town quite smoothly.
But, as time continues to pass.
As the amount of food continues to decrease over time.
The depreciation rate of gold and silver has begun to become faster and faster.
From the initial three times, it gradually became five times, eight times, and ten times later.
Until now, you even pay twenty times, even thirty times, or fifty times the price.
It is already difficult to buy food on the market.
At this point, various actions of the Luo family accelerated.
Gold and silver finally gradually lost their original economic benefits.
Not to mention other places, just Huaishui County, or even this Luoshan Prefecture.
Its economic level has regressed to a state of barter.
No one is willing to accept materials in exchange for useless gold and silver.
Qingshi Town, the land of the Luo family.
In the courtyard where the ancestors of the Luo family lived.
Luo Changfeng looked at a gold ingot in his hand that was shining with bursts of bright golden light.
His expression couldn't help but be a little complicated.
In the past, the depreciation of gold and silver has already been on the trend.
However, gold and silver are, after all, an enduring economic system that has been passed down for countless years.
Even if there is a slight depreciation, countless people still believe in the trading system based on gold and silver.
But now, something is unexpected.
The depreciation speed of gold and silver is actually so fast.
Nowadays, even if you take out gold equal to the weight of grain.
It is estimated that few people are willing to exchange grain with the same weight as gold in exchange for you.
The food is at least edible.
It can even save your life when it's important.
But how much value does gold and silver have in this truly troubled world where human life is worth more than grass?
"It seems that I have to do some research on the rain-seeking talisman and the locust-repelling talisman among the special talismans."
The purpose of praying for rain is to be prepared and to prevent the Huaihe River from drying up.
After all, this gold and silver have gradually lost their original value.
The depletion of the Huai River is no longer impossible.
As for the locust removal talisman.
This is naturally to cope with the locust plague that follows the severe drought.
Even if there is no locust plague this year.
Who can guarantee that there will be no locust plague next year, the year after, and the year after that?
Even in the past few years, Luo Changfeng continued to add points and became the legendary immortal.
It has reached the stage where it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and thereby resist grain.
But his tribesmen always have to eat, right?
It's impossible for every clan member in the Luo family to become an immortal, right?
Therefore, Huaishui County established the Luo family in Qingshi Town, the Huaishui Wang Fengwentai, the grain merchant Tang family, and the Chen family, an established family.
After these four major families got along with each other in a strange manner.
The somewhat chaotic Huaishui County gradually became calmer.
"How is the situation with the Luo family in Qingshi Town?"
Huaishui County, in the Tangjia City where the Tang family is located.
In a mansion that looks extremely luxurious.
The current head of the Tang family, Tang Huaiping, was a bit fat and had a shiny face.
At this time, he was sitting upright on a chair with some difficulty.
Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, he asked a servant in front of him in a low voice while drinking the hot tea.
"Master, after we cut off the food supply to Qingshi Town and Huangqu Town."
"The Luo family in Qingshi Town started frantically searching for the remaining food on the market a few days ago."
"Now, as the remaining food on the market has been completely plundered."
"The Luo family will also lose all ways to obtain food."
In a room full of precious calligraphy and paintings, a servant in black was reporting this information with his head slightly lowered.
"Good, good!"
After hearing this, Tang Huaiping nodded repeatedly and laughed.
This Huaishui County should be divided into three parts.
The Huaishui Wangfeng Wentai should occupy a seat, the old family Chen family should also occupy a seat, and his Tang family should also occupy a seat.
The Huaishui County is divided into three parts, and it is divided and ruled.
This pattern has long been determined.
But the Luo family, a shitty family that came from nowhere, actually dreamed of creating a world of their own in this Huaishui County that has been divided into three parts.
It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous.
If it weren't for the fact that an ancestor with the cultivation level of the Refining Organ Realm appeared in the Luo family's land.
The Luo family should have died long ago.
But it's not a big problem.
Even if the Luo family has the ancestor of the Refining Zang realm, so what?
Next, as long as his Tang family moves a little, they will cut off all food supplies to Qingshi Town and Huangqu Town.
The so-called Luo family of Qingshi Town will naturally fall down bit by bit under the huge pressure of food.
During this period, the Tang family does not need to put pressure on the Luo family of Qingshi Town.
The Luo family will gradually disintegrate.
This plan is an open conspiracy.
Even if the people of the Luo family in Qingshi Town react, they are helpless.
Could it be that they are forced to do so.
Will the Luo family directly attack his Tang family?
Don't be silly, the Luo family has Refining Zang, and their Tang family also has Refining Zang.
The cultivators of the Refining Zang realm can guarantee nothing except that the family will not be destroyed by others.
