Naruto Treasure Box System

Chapter 272
Kangsongshan Dawen Valley, Yangxi Village.

"How's the food reserve?" Qi Ling Jianlan looked sad.

Originally, she was planning to leave Yangxi Village to do things in Konoha in the near future.But it happened that an epidemic broke out.

Considering Xiaodouzi's safety, she had to temporarily give up her revenge plan and stay in Yangxi Village.

But recently, bad news came one after another, which made her very depressed.

"There is still a lot to go. At present, it is only enough for the whole village to last for half a month." The old village chief is really worried these days.

In fact, including Jianlan and Xiaodouzi, there are only 130 people in the village, and they live in a remote valley.With the closure of the village, the epidemic has hardly threatened them.

Because they are few.Now the roads are blocked, and almost no outsiders will come to this kind of place.

But the epidemic may not threaten them for the time being, but the subsequent life problems are really troublesome.

As the surrounding towns closed their gates one after another, small villages like theirs, which usually rely on the market in the city to purchase daily necessities, were in trouble.There are many things that money cannot buy now.

After hesitating for a while, the old village chief suggested: "Master Lan, why don't we let the young and strong in the village go into the mountains to hunt for food?"

Although some grains are planted in Yangxi Village, the output of rice is extremely limited because the main labor force is planting ginseng.It has always been relying on selling ginseng to and from the surrounding towns and purchasing supplies for maintenance.

Qiling Jianlan almost didn't think much of it when she heard the words, so she directly refused: "No, not only can't hunt, but I will inform you that the village is not allowed to eat wild animals recently."

As if thinking of something extremely terrifying, a trace of fear flashed across her face.

"But." The old village chief was extremely puzzled.

"That's enough, let's continue with this order." Qiling Jianlan didn't explain any more at all.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the house.

"The village chief, the village. The caravan that purchased children's ginseng insisted on entering the village. We can't stop it, what should we do?" A villager ran in with a flustered expression.

Now that the epidemic is raging, every village is extremely repulsive to outsiders.

Hearing this, Qiling Jianlan's face changed slightly, and said coldly: "Why, you still contacted the caravan?"

Seeing this, the old village chief had a bitter expression on his face.

During this period of time, due to the closure of the village, not only was there a shortage of food, but many daily necessities were already unavailable.

Seeing that the baby ginseng piled up in the warehouse could not be sold, he managed to contact a caravan to trade.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

As a nourishing product, the price of baby ginseng has been raised a lot nowadays.Is there no hurry to pile them up in the warehouse?

But Qiling Jianlan's face became more and more ugly: "All villages have received the ban, and you actually did this without permission?"

This old man is indeed becoming more and more outrageous. He didn't even ask for his consent before doing such a thing.

You must know that the daimyo of the country of fire has now ordered that private trading of medicinal materials, food and other materials is strictly prohibited.

The materials in the major towns were purchased by the City Lord's Mansion at market prices.

Although the surrounding small villages have not been considered yet, everyone knows that in a few days there will definitely be a specific plan.

For example, building a trade market outside the city.

The skyrocketing prices caused by the epidemic have seriously disturbed the normal market. If Xian Yu had a democratic society in his previous life, he might have adopted a softer strategy.But in the ninja world, it is impossible to restrain the profit-seeking momentum of businessmen without some tough measures.

The economic system is a very important support for a country. Once the economic system is completely chaotic, the harm caused is even far greater than the disaster of the epidemic itself.

The old village head said with a wry smile: "There are already a lot of complaints in the village. I can't help it."

Now every household can only eat stored grain and dig wild vegetables.Even the bark was boiled by the villagers in various ways to change the taste.One can imagine how far it has come.

Jianlan's expression softened a little, and she had heard some complaints from the villagers in the village recently.

Even Xiaodouzi's appetite has decreased a lot recently. Although the little guy didn't say anything, she knows that the food is too bad.

But there's no way, isn't it?

At this time of year, people in towns have to line up to buy vegetables at the market every three days.These small villages don't even have a place to buy them.

Those villages that grow melons, fruits and vegetables, and raise livestock are okay, and can basically be self-sufficient.

But villages like Yangxi Village, which mainly collect and grow ginseng, are sad.

Daming Mansion also considered that villages are generally self-sufficient.In addition, manpower is needed everywhere for a while, and there is a serious shortage of personnel and materials, so it is not the first time to take care of the small villages outside the town.

As for the major cities and towns, they all have a certain amount of anti-disaster reserves, and there are also orchards and farms outside the cities to supply them, and all kinds of production industries are basically built around the towns, so there is no need to worry.

"Let's go out and have a look first." Qi Ling Jianlan thought for a moment, then took the lead and walked out.

The village chief's house was built at the entrance of the village. As soon as Jianlan came out of the yard, she saw a group of people pulling seven or eight carriages arguing with a group of villagers outside the yard.

In fact, she is not very willing to contact these greedy businessmen.

There is also some resistance to selling the ginseng in stock to them privately during this season.

Although these guys' bids are generally higher than the official ones, especially in the current situation.

But she, who was born in a peaceful age, knows very well that coveting some small personal interests will often indirectly kill more people.

This is a knife that can't see the blade, and kills without seeing blood.

She, Qiling Jianlan, does not think she is a kind person, but she also has the bottom line of being a human being.

The old village chief also walked out with the support of the villager on crutches.

He was very puzzled at the moment, why did this group of people break into the village?

When he came outside the courtyard, a very interesting scene appeared before his eyes.

I saw more than 30 caravan guards with weapons, each of them was "fully armed" and covered with several layers of thick gauze.Although they have gained an absolute advantage in force, they keep a distance from the villagers one by one.

"Call out your village chief! The one thousand catties of baby ginseng that was promised, how come there are only eight hundred catties left?" The leader shouted.

Kumano Yuma also felt guilty for a while.

Everyone in my chamber of commerce has undergone a physical examination by the chamber of commerce doctor, so there is no problem.

But God knows if any of the more than 20 villagers in front of them are sick?

According to common sense, 20 guards could hang and beat more than [-] villagers.But at this moment, apart from shouting, they dare not get too close to these guys.

Even when they broke into the village just now, they used bows and arrows to open the way and scare people.
