Chapter 439 Food shortage!

"Ahem."

As the chief shopkeeper of Zibaoxuan and a practitioner on the eighth level of foundation building, Yang Boli occasionally loses his composure.

But it is relatively rare to be choked by a sentence like this now.

There is no other reason.

Because of the rabbits - or rather, Ma Ning got the news a little too quickly.

That's right.

As Ma Ning said.

There is a food shortage in the southern region!

Although since the end of ancient times, there has been no orthodox dynasty in the Great Mo Realm.

But as one of the overlords of the Southern Territory, Ziqiong City still controls some ‘territories’ to some extent.

For example, when the rabbits first boarded the flying boat at Linyuan City, the leading family was a branch of the Yang family.

Others married female members of the Yang family or married into the Yang family, and thus were incorporated into the "regular army" and regularly paid some spiritual stones or supplies to the Yang family.

And since they have a 'territory', the Yang family naturally has to consider the issue of stability.

For example, the purple Qiongfang City after each beast tide ends.

This is not only a platform for Ziqiong City to make money, but also an opportunity for other small towns to take a breather and exchange resource information.

That is to say, the Yang family wants to basically ensure the stability of the region without spending too much effort.

But as the saying goes.

The sky has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

If the appearance of monster beasts is a matter of luck, such as misfortune and blessing of man.

Food shortage.

It is a standard natural disaster, a civilization disaster that will inevitably occur before the productivity level reaches a certain limit.

There are countless historical records of local food shortages, which are real human tragedies.

In many cases, food shortages are more lethal than war.

For example, the Dingwu Qihuang in 1877 can be called a purgatory on earth.

The death toll from that famine exceeded 10 million, making it one of the largest famines in Chinese and even global history.

At the same time, due to historical territorial and population reasons.

China is also the region with the most famines in history. It can even be said that there is no other region - the larger the area, the higher the probability of occurrence. There is nothing to say about this, and it has nothing to do with divine punishment or anything like that.

That's why.

The instinct of farming is engraved in the blood of every Chinese and has never been cut off.

In the Great Mo Realm, due to its own civilization technology tree and the influence of external forces - that is, the beast tide, the risk resistance ability of the civilian class is much lower than that of the mainland.

Of course.

This is also related to the fact that the cultivating family owns spiritual fields and can self-supply spiritual rice that is not affected by disasters.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

This sentence is vividly portrayed in the Great Mo Realm.

This food shortage first appeared in the 'territory' of Biyou City, one of the seven overlords of the Southern Territory, and began to spread outwards in a very short period of time.

According to the information obtained from Ziqiong City.

This food famine does not seem to have much to do with land fertility, but is a pest disaster consisting of locust plagues and some unknown diseases that infect food crops.

Actually.

When he heard the word "locust plague" from his headphones, Ma Ning recalled some bad memories in his mind.

The dense yellow "dust" blocks out the sky and the sun, leaving no grass growing wherever it passes.

As a Star City native born in the 1960s, stinky tofu and locust plague are two things that cannot be erased from Ma Ning's memory.

Generally speaking.

A locust swarm covering one square kilometer in mainland China consists of approximately 80 million adult locusts.

The total number of locusts in a small locust plague is generally between 1 and 2 billion.

Locust plagues exceeding tens of billions will occur on average once every five years around the world.

The largest locust plague on earth occurred in 1875, and the Eagle West experienced the most terrifying locust plague in human history.

At that time, 12.5 trillion locusts covered the sky and attacked southern Missouri—yes, 12.5 trillion, that is, 12.5 trillion.

These locusts formed a black cloud that was 1,800 miles long, covering an area even larger than California.

This locust plague is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records and is also the largest animal swarm observed in human history.

Let me tell you something amazing.

This locust is called the Rocky Mountain rock locust. It lives in a valley in the Rocky Mountains and only lays eggs there.

As a result, after the largest locust plague in history in 1875, the Rocky Mountain rock locust suddenly disappeared in less than 20 years—yes, not a single one was left.

What the Rocky Mountain Rock Locust has left to the world today is only more than 140 scientific papers and some black and white pictures, which is very strange.

This is true for the local area, let alone the Great Mo Realm.

To know.

Due to the existence of spiritual energy, the size of the locusts in the Great Mo Realm is many times larger than that of the mainland.

There are even entry-level monsters, locusts, among them!

This kind of food shortage caused by locusts is quite troublesome even for Ziqiong City to deal with.

That's why.

Several elders of the Yang family came up with the idea of ​​using the city to replace the spirit stone.

They have more or less seen the capabilities of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Clan, and stopping the locust plague is obviously a piece of cake.

Thus.

Zi Qiong City was able to transfer some of the risks and at the same time sell favors to the Fengling Yueying Clan.

You can also take back some of the side forces that were originally scattered outside, which is a huge profit!

But when Yang Boli discovered that the secret he was planning to throw out 'smoothly' after the transaction, it slipped out of Ma Ning's mouth so lightly.

He immediately understood that part of the clan elders' plan might have failed.

as expected.

I saw Ma Ning cough slightly and his momentum changed:

"Shopkeeper Yang, you and I are both old businessmen, and we all understand that making money based on the quality of information is not a shabby thing.

It's up to you to master the information first and make money. As long as you don't cheat too much, even your partners won't complain.

But now that the information between us is equal, shouldn't we have a good discussion about this part of the money? "

Looking at Ma Ning with a smile on his face, Yang Boli's expression changed repeatedly for several breaths.

After all, it is indeed not a particularly honorable thing to have someone's intention exposed, even if the intention is not very malicious.

However, Yang Boli was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.

I saw him pondering for a while, and then said:

"Shopkeeper Ma, although the food shortage is troublesome, for you, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.

But in any case, there is something wrong with the Yang family's move.

Therefore, I took it upon myself to make the decision and give you this price."

Say it.

Yang Boli rolled up his sleeves and drank some wine.

Write a number in Da Mo language on the table:

Four.

The four here obviously does not refer to Arsenal, but represents the decline of a city from 50,000 spiritual stones to...

Forty thousand spiritual stones.

20% discount.

To be honest, it is indeed a big profit.

Including the happy sticks, the Yang family's unsettled balance is 660,000 spirit stones.

In other words, the rabbits can be exchanged for about fourteen cities with ten thousand people.

But this is just a theoretical value.

Considering that the scale of each city is different, if you want to exchange for cities with a certain basic population and supporting facilities, you can actually get eight cities.

This number of cities is obviously not enough to satisfy the appetites of the rabbits, and even doubling it is probably not enough.

However, although Ma Ning has some other ideas in mind, the specifics need to be discussed with the headquarters.

So he thought for a while and finally decided to accept the price:

"make a deal!"

Note:

Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !

A child in the house next door took birth control pills like candy. I heard that he ate half of the pill and was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage. I hope he is okay.

But I’m curious, is there any sugar coating on the outside?
