Lin Feng shook his head: "What can't be done? Now that the devil is born, I believe that many civilians in many places have no time to take care of crops and plant them properly. The mainland will soon be short of food."
As he said that, he glanced at Zhao Zhengxuan and said: "Maybe you will say that the weather on this land is smooth and the harvest is good every year. Moreover, most of the land is easy to cultivate and food comes quickly. However, father, you have been in business for many years, so you should know that,
If there are more people growing grain, the price of grain will be lower, and there will be less planting next year.
"Over the years, the annual grain production on the mainland has become a routine. If the annual grain production suddenly drops significantly, or for several consecutive years, what do you think will happen?"
Zhao Zhengxuan's face was serious: "Yes, it will indeed cause famine."
Zhao Bingyan said: "If this happens, I'm afraid it won't just be the Lin Kingdom. I believe there will be famine in many places across the continent."
Lin Feng said: "However, there is a high probability that Lin State will cause trouble first than other places."
"Why do you say that?" Zhao Bingyan asked.
Lin Feng said: "As far as I know, people who grow their own grain to eat are always used to keeping two or three years of grain at home. In the coming year, they reserve new grain and sell the old grain. And those who buy grain to eat,
They often only buy food for one or two months at a time. And there are always a lot of smart businessmen in this world. I am afraid that the devil has only appeared in the world for a short time. As long as the devil shows stronger and cannot be wiped out within a year or two, the price of food will definitely rise.
With the rapid rise and everyone hoarding, who will sell to the Lin State? They will sell it, and they will definitely pay a high price. Then the Lin State’s treasury will be empty..."
"Then what should we do? How about we ask your grandpa to buy it as soon as possible before the price of food rises?" Zhao Bingyan asked.
Lin Feng said: "It's hard to say. I don't know if he has sent people out to buy it yet. If he hasn't sent people out yet, he should do it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome once the price of food rises..."
There are storage rings in this world, and people in many places store a lot of food, but there is no way the storage rings can transport food to the people of a country. There is not such a terrible space.
A few people chatted and soon entered the capital of Lin State.
Compared with Zhanxuan City in Zhanxuan Empire, this city seems much smaller. However, it can still be called prosperous. It is the capital of a country, so the word "busy and busy" still applies.
.
Now that they have arrived here, Lin Feng and others are not in a hurry. They just called a carriage near the city gate, pointed out the location and asked the coachman to take them there. By the way, they asked the coachman about the situation here on the way.
Lin Feng asked: "Boss Che, we are visiting relatives in Lin Guoshu for the first time. Why do we see the common people in the city with worries on their faces as soon as we enter the city? Has something happened here?"
"Well, you gentlemen, you don't know something. Just two days ago, a palace guard came out with news that our King of Lin Kingdom suddenly fell ill some time ago and was bedridden.
rise."
"Oh?" Lin Feng and Zhao Zhengxuan looked at each other.
Later, Lin Feng asked: "This is strange. Didn't the Wang family block the news? How could someone leak the news at will? Also, when I heard that His Majesty the King was ill, so many people in the entire Lin Kingdom were worried? Is it possible that this is the case?
Isn’t it true that the King of Lin State is an unparalleled king?”
The carriage driver smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, we don't know how the news leaked out. How can we, the little people, understand the things in the palace? As for His Majesty the King...well, he is indeed a good man. It's just a pity.
Already..."
"pity?"
"That's right...I'm telling you quietly, but don't spread the word."
"Well, okay, boss, just say it, we won't spread it randomly."
"Then I'll tell you. Guests, do you know why His Majesty the King is bedridden and why so many of us civilians are worried?"
"Why?"
"Because His Majesty the King is at the level of a great fighting master. He suddenly fell ill. Some people said he was poisoned."
"What? Is this true?"
"We don't know this. If it is true, it would be terrible... His Majesty the King has no heirs, but someone is trying to assassinate the King. Isn't that trying to seize the throne? As folk storytellers often say, it is a bloody storm.
.We are just ordinary civilians. If there is really a fight in this capital, if the vines are broken, wouldn't it be dangerous if it affects us?"
Lin Feng and Zhao Zhengxuan looked at each other, speechless.
I originally thought that Lin Feng and his grandfather were some unparalleled sages, so if they got a little sick, they would cause worries to the common people in the country. It turns out that these common people were worried about changes in the palace politics, and even worried about the country.
There will be divisions and internal chaos. Once a fight breaks out, it will affect them.
The two smiled bitterly at each other.
Lin Feng released his fighting spirit and formed a soundproof barrier: "Father, it seems that no one here knows that grandpa has a daughter like my mother."
Zhao Zhengxuan nodded: "Well, this has always been a secret."
"However, the news has not come out until now, and I always have a bad feeling..."
As Lin Feng said, Zhao Zhengxuan's heart skipped a beat: "Something bad?"
Feng looked out the window and murmured: "My mother is a strong person in the Dou Ba realm. If I come to the capital, it shouldn't be so peaceful here, right? If it were me... I would definitely let my grandpa announce my identity directly and hide it.
With my strength, I will let all the clowns hiding in the darkness come out, and then I will suppress and kill them all in one fell swoop, and start a big purge..."
Zhao Zhengxuan was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Your mother is kind-hearted, how could she do things the same way as you?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Even if my mother is kind-hearted, but as a king, my grandfather, no matter how stupid or kind-hearted he is, should have developed some skills after sitting in this position for a long time, right? All the superiors,
As long as you sit there for a while, you won't be a simple character. All the superiors who look stupid are just their disguises..."
Zhao Zhengxuan was speechless.
After a while, he said: "Maybe you are right. It seems... the situation here is really not good."
After a while, the carriage arrived at its destination. After it stopped, the three of them paid the fare. After the carriage left, they walked to the branch of Zhao's Trading Company.
"What? No news came?"
"Yes, I haven't seen my wife contact us yet."
"Well, I understand, you go down first."
Zhao Zhengxuan waved his hand and asked people to leave, and then said with a sad face: "How could this happen? Did something happen on the way and didn't come here, or was there an accident in the palace?"
Zhao Bingyan consoled her: "My adoptive father and my adoptive mother are strong men in the Dou He realm, so there shouldn't be any surprises."
"Oh, I hope so." Zhao Zhengxuan sighed slightly.
Lin Feng asked: "Then when did mother send you the secret message? When did she arrive?"
Zhao Zhengxuan said: "I received her letter in Zhanxuan City. She had already arrived in the capital three or four days before us."
Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Then Zhao's Trading Company should have flying mounts, right?"
"Yes, even if you don't have it, you can rent it."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Logically speaking, we should be here. But if there is any delay on the way, it's hard to say, because we are riding a flying dragon and the second half of the journey is much faster than her..."
After a pause, he said: "Well, father, do you have any tokens of mother with you? Give them to me. It seems that I am going to explore the palace at night tonight." a!~!
