Farm games to survive the apocalypse

The locust plague occurred in the autumn of the Kang Dynasty. Grain had matured on a large scale and was ready to be harvested in the next few days, but most families had only harvested a portion of it, and more was still in the fields. However, the locust plague directly led to all the grain in the fields being eaten up, and some people even had nothing to harvest.

The recent war has been going on and the supply of food has been a bit tight. The court originally wanted to wait for this season's autumn grain to ease the pre-war pressure and stabilize the people's hearts, but at this moment, a locust plague destroyed everything and disrupted all arrangements.

The imperial court was unable to collect grain, and the people had no surplus food at home, so they could only rely on the grain from the previous season.

Jiang Wei opened the forum and wanted to see the areas where the locust plague had occurred. He clicked on G123 World to view related posts.

[I would like to ask where the locust plague occurred]

[Xuancheng just passed a batch]

[Blue City also has]

[Cloud City too]

[Also available in the suburbs of Beijing]

[Sure enough, the system won’t just allow the locust plague to happen in one place]

[It's going to be a mess]

[It will depend on your performance. Don't forget that this is a team competition instance. It will depend on your ability.]

The other three also saw the forum news. Yang Le said, "It seems that this locust plague has spread throughout the Kang Dynasty."

"The price of grain in the grain shop has risen to 15 cents per pound, and there are many people scrambling for it." Xiao Chen told everyone the news he had checked.

Jiang Wei decided, "Let's keep the door closed and go out less."

In Xuancheng outside the city, the people, after experiencing grief, frantically took their money from home to buy food. The grain shops also knew the situation and raised the price of food greatly. Even so, people continued to scramble for food.

"This bag is mine."

"Obviously I saw it first."

"Hurry up, I want this bag."

"Don't rush, there is still food." The shopkeeper said loudly with a smile. There were also more than a dozen strong men around to maintain order and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to steal food.

Finally, within just a few hours, all the food in the grain shop was looted, and the owner had no choice but to close the shop.

"Does the shopkeeper have any food left?"

"I still have money, let me buy some more."

"Will you still sell food tomorrow?"

"There's still food in the Wang's shop, go there and buy some."

The shopkeeper looked at the excited people and came out to comfort them: "Don't worry, we will have food tomorrow, don't worry."

After hearing this, the people had no choice but to leave. Those who bought food were very cautious, while those who didn't buy any looked everywhere for a grain store that was still open.

The shopkeeper saw the people off, closed the door and counted today's harvest with his family, and said happily: "We've made a fortune, this time we've really made a fortune."

The people in the fields were at a loss and could only follow the crowd to buy food.

Several grain shops in the city had just begun to drastically increase grain prices in the hope of making some money. People were constantly coming and going in the grain shops every day. However, after the festival, they learned that a locust plague had hit the entire Kang Dynasty, and money could not buy much grain. The wives of wealthy families and merchants began to hoard grain and refused to sell it. As a result, the grain shops in Xuancheng also closed their shops one after another and stopped selling grain.

The people had money but nowhere to go. Those who had already bought food closed their doors and stopped going out. Those who had not bought food were so anxious that their mouths were blistered and they looked for food everywhere. Others turned their attention to those who had food. The once bustling city suddenly became deserted. There were no longer the hawking vendors and bustling crowds on the streets. There were only pedestrians walking in a hurry and dared not stay outside for long.

Because the Li Mansion had previously stored a large amount of food, they closed the gates of the mansion early on and no one was allowed to leave at will, but they still had to maintain the food needs of everyone in the mansion.

The food shortage caused by the locust plague also affected the war on the front line. The barbarians fighting against the Kang Dynasty also suffered from locust plagues. The grasslands were eaten up and the cattle and sheep lost their fodder. The war was originally launched because of the long-term lack of food, and now the situation has been exacerbated.

The Kang Dynasty court was also in a state of headache. The new soldiers needed a large amount of food and fodder for the daily war, but now the country was ravaged by a locust plague, and collecting food from the people would inevitably cause public resentment. If possible, they would even have to distribute food to the people.

When Jiang Wei and his three companions were having dinner at home, the dishes served by the kitchen had been reduced to four, while on normal days the homes of these wealthy businessmen were always extremely luxurious.

Xiao Chen said helplessly: "There is no way. Although this ancient time is fictional, the same seeds are not high-yielding without cultivation, and high-yield crops such as corn have not been introduced. The grain yield is not high, and it is easy to collapse when encountering a natural disaster."

Li Qingruo added: "Although we bought a lot of food before, there are almost a hundred people in the mansion. It is still risky to feed so many people for two months. But saving people is also our side mission. We can't just drive them out, so it's best to pay attention to reducing food now. However, the four of us have space and a system, so we don't have to worry about this."

"Although we can save more than a hundred people now, if the situation is not right later, these people may not leave with us. If we want to get points, we have to rescue more people later." Jiang Wei said.

"It's like this. There's no food in the city, there's a war going on at the border, and some people are hoarding food like us. The situation will soon become chaotic. It's better to be careful now." Yang Le concluded.

"Yes, I will let the people in the mansion pay attention to it." Li Qingruo said.

This situation lasted for 5.6 or days, and news came from the border that "Yancheng has been breached."

The Kang Dynasty's army had retreated to Meicheng, and if Meicheng was captured, the next target of attack would be Xuancheng. The wealthy families or those with some power in the city began to plan to flee to other cities.

But while the rich and powerful could flee, ordinary people could not easily abandon their homes and flee to other areas.

When the rich families in the city fled, they not only took away gold and silver, but also most of the food. When the people saw this, they started to scramble for food.

"Hurry, grab their food. All our food has been eaten by locusts, but they still have so much. Now they want to escape. Come on, everyone."

"Go! The food belongs to us. Hurry up and grab it."

"A bunch of spineless people. They left the front line right after the defeat and took away a lot of food. All of it is ours."

The wealthy businessman who was leaving did not expect to encounter such a situation, and hurriedly called on his servants to protect the food, "Quick, quick, protect the food, don't let these untouchables take it away."

"My food cannot be stolen. I spent a lot of money to buy it."

"Let go, let go." The rich businessman even tried to snatch the food back himself, but was stopped.

In the end, a lot of the merchants' food was stolen, and it was impossible to recover it due to too many people.

"Forget it, let's go, leave them here." The rich businessman said weakly.
