472: C472 Food War

C472 Food War

Ye Tian nodded his head and said: "That's right, of course they are planning this, but if we succeed in surrounding the Luminosity Knightage outside Yeh Ka Jilin Castle, and kill a portion of the soldiers, and then try to force the Luminosity Knightage to retreat, their plan of colluding with the enemy inside and out will lose its effectiveness."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Lin Qiyu asked, "What? Do you already have a way to eliminate Luminosity Knightage? "

Ye Tian let out a breath and said: "At the moment, it's still too early. However, the reputation of Divine Martial Infantry Regiment s is not something that can be easily said. "

"Divine Martial Infantry Regiment?" Lin Qiyu said with a shocked expression.

Ye Tian nodded again, he raised his head, looked at the sky, and continued: "I wonder when that girl Xian Di will be able to transfer Divine Martial Infantry Regiment over."

It was at this moment that another of Lin Qiyu's janissaries hurriedly ran over to Lin Qiyu's side and said urgently, "Lord, we have just received news that the prices of food in every county, city, state, and county of East Berea have skyrocketed. The commoners of every county have already shown a large number of uprisings and uprisings."

"What?" Lin Qiyu widened her eyes in disbelief.

Ye Tian also frowned.

Honestly speaking, Ye Tian's attention was previously focused on how to deal with the People of Oca's several great legions and the current Luminosity Knightage. He ignored the relationship between him and the local nobles and commoners after occupying the territory of the Oca.

Moreover, Ye Tian didn't expect that the final problem would actually appear on top of the food.

Frowning, Ye Tian thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "This is the effect of Luminosity Knightage's rush to Yeh Ka Jilin Castle. When the nobles everywhere learn of this news, they will definitely take action to respond to the attacks of the Luminosity Knightage. They will work together on a larger scale to chase us, the invaders, away as soon as possible. "

Lin Qiyu said with a worried expression, "This problem is not like war. A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. Rather, the winner is not the winner, and the loser is not the loser. It's really hard to solve."

Ye Tian added: "These nobles secretly control the price of food, arousing the local people's rebellious intent. If the families of these nobles were to be plundered, the rebellious intentions of the local people would be even more decisive. However, the citizens cannot live on, and will rebel and rebel at the same time. If we were to send troops to suppress them, it would also incite a greater uprising. "

At this point, Ye Tian sighed and continued, "In order to solve this problem, we need to nurture a local aristocrat, and one who is biased towards us."

Nodding her head, Lin Qiyu continued, "Yes, it must be a pro-Ye faction."

At this time, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at Lin Qiyu and said, "I wonder how much food Huangfu Ann has. Can you still hold on? "

Lin Qiyu opened her mouth and said, "According to what Huangfu Ann said about the grain transfer envoys, Huangfu Aristocratic Family has already mobilized all of the grain reserves in our Tiangong Empire. At the moment, he didn't have much food left. "I estimate that he'll be able to hold on for at most six or seven days."

Ye Tian looked up at the sky and repeated: "Six to seven days."

After thinking for a while, Ye Tian nodded again and continued: "Even six or seven days are enough to scare those aristocrats."

At this point, Ye Tian looked at Lin Qiyu and said, "Let's go and meet those nobles."

With that, Ye Tian turned around and walked into the city. Lin Qiyu, Mei Rou, and Bi Ling followed behind him, heading into the city.

For Fanderle Jin, the governor of the former Wu Steel Jilin city, his mansion had long since become the headquarters for all the nobles in the Ye Castle.

At this moment, the twenty-seven nobles were gathered together once again. In a concealed side hall in Fanderle Jin's mansion, there was a heated discussion going on and on.

Count Sod was one of the most respected aristocrats in Yeh Ka's Jilin Castle. At this time, Count Sod saw the crowd arguing, he knocked the cane in his hand on the ground and said: "Everyone, stop fighting. In my opinion, the most important thing right now is to cooperate with Ivan Wu Steel who is in the Mojing City and continue to raise the price of food. We should get the troops of Tiangong Empire out of People of Oca's territory as soon as possible."

"But, Sir Count Sod, the amount of silver I can use is less than 20,000 taels. If the workers of the heavens continue to send food here, I won't be able to buy it."

At this point, Viscount Ceger had a somewhat grumbling expression. He continued, "To tell the truth, the food in my basement is more than enough for me to eat for ten years."

"Yes, my Lord Count, the price of food has skyrocketed. It has already risen to four silver taels per sack of rice noodles, but the Tiangong Empire is still sending endless amounts of food to this place. At this rate, we will not have enough silver."

Countess, the problem right now is, once Luminosity Knightage invades Yeh Ka and Jilin Castle, the Tiangong Empire will withdraw and the price of the food will decline. However, if we buy the food with a high price, then we won't be able to sell it for a high price.

"Right now, all of the aristocrats in every city, county, and county in East Berea do not have much silver anymore, but the Tiangong Empire is still sending food nonstop. At the moment, it seems that there isn't even a leader."

"Yes, my lord..."

"Enough." Count Sod once again knocked the ground with his crutch. Due to his anger and excitement, his mouth slightly trembled. He let out a heavy snort and raised his hand, pointing at the noble members one by one and said in a low voice: "Do you know? The seven great legions of Oca had all been annihilated, and the Western Legion, which even the West Continent was extremely fearful of, had now sunk to the bottom of the earth. In order to save his country from danger, Your Highness did not hesitate to offer the Arctic Divine Staff. With victory in sight, you nobles who have inherited the royal family, with just a little bit of silver, you complain without end. You, what face do you have to meet the successive Emperors of the Oca? "

Hearing Count Sod's words, many of the nobles knew it was true and no longer made a sound.

Sweeping his eyes across the nobles, Count Sod said again: "This is the life and death moment of Oca Empire, we must work together and never speak differently. Think about it, if the Oca were to really fall and if everyone here is a noble, let me ask, once the people from the Tiangong Empire control the situation, will everyone still be able to live a good life? "

At this moment, the guard outside the door suddenly walked in. He walked straight to Fanderle Jin, who had been silent all this time, and whispered a few words to him.

Fanderle Jin's face changed as he raised his head. He first looked at Count Sod, then looked at the crowd, and said: "Tiangong Empire Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order, Liaodong Governor and Commander-in-chief, Ye Tian has arrived."

Everyone was astounded.

This Ye Tian, could it be that he will take advantage of the gathering of the nobles to catch us all in one fell swoop?

Fanderle Jin turned his head and asked the guard: "How many people did he bring?"

"Other than Ye Tian, there's also Divine Weapon Camp Commander Lin Qiyu. After her are a few guards and servants of Imperial Household Department Palace." answered the janissary.

Fanderle Jin's expression was uncertain. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "They didn't bring any army. It doesn't look like they're here to rob the family."

Count Sod snorted and continued, "No matter what his goal is, let's meet him first."

Fanderle Jin frowned. He pointed at the nobles and said, "Then what about you?"

Count Sod sneered again and continued, "What's there to be afraid of? We have so many nobles, and today we will openly talk it out with this Ye Tian. Let's see who has the faster tongue and the tougher reason."

As he walked along the path of the garden, he kept looking at the surroundings. Honestly speaking, although Fanderle Jin was in his sixties, the garden in this mansion still had a pure and elegant charm. The entire manor didn't look like an old man, but more like a princess.

As Ye Tian walked, his mind was also thinking about the reason for the food price war and the trend of development.

In all honesty, this battle was like the financial war of his previous life.

On the one hand, they are deliberately buying food, causing a shortage of food in the short term, thus raising the price of food. On the other side, he continued to transport the food, trying his best to keep the price of the food steady as well as falling back.

The battle between the two sides continued to go on, one after another. It all depended on who had more silver, or who had more grain.

If the nobles of the East Berea joined forces in secret and were able to send all of the food sent to the Oca Empire, it could be said that they would have won. After the farmers had made their move, regardless of whether it was Divine Weapon Camp or Divine Weapon Camp, they would not be able to go down on all four fronts to suppress them. Under the conditions of riots everywhere, they could only choose to retreat.

However, if the amount of food sent by the Tiangong Empire grew more and more, even if the aristocrats of the East Berea joined forces, they would still be unable to eat it. Because they bought a lot of food that shouldn't have been so expensive with a very high price. He wouldn't be able to sell it in the future, so he spent a huge amount of silver for nothing. Without exaggeration, if this time, the total amount of food delivered by the Tiangong Empire was more than the silver in the hands of the Oca nobles, after the whole of the East Berea nobles lost this food war, they would be in danger of going bankrupt.

Thinking about it here, Ye Tian's heart moved. Maybe, this was instead a perfect opportunity to completely control the Oca aristocrats. As long as they were broke and had nothing but food and money, these nobles would become commoners. It would be much easier to deal with them when the time came.
