Rise of the Plants

Chapter 271 Economic Sanctions Begin to Show Their Power

After passing out the newly created big-mouthed dog, Chi Nan entered the experiment again. But what Chi Nan didn't expect was that the big-mouthed dog would soon make a contribution. The reason was because few normal people would come out at night.

Those who are still running around outside in the middle of the night are mostly problematic, especially those close to some important departments.

These people didn't know that big-mouthed dogs were added to their territory. They thought they were well hidden and habitually ran out to conduct investigations. However, they couldn't escape now and were caught one by one.

Moreover, the terrifying bite force of the big-mouthed dog also surprised all the soldiers. With one bite, the sharp and dense teeth broke the human bones on the spot, leaving a bloody mess that was difficult to treat.

If the bleeding from such a wound cannot be stopped in time, the mere bleeding will kill them. Big-mouthed dogs are not plants that don’t eat. The instructions given to him by the lord said that the big-mouthed dog can provide its needs by eating soil or eating plants and meat. It usually needs to get more sun. This is a mixture of carnivorous plants and ordinary plants.

No need to take down roots, making them easier to raise. If you are really too lazy, you can just let them eat soil and photosynthesize by themselves.

Chi Nan reads reports every day and looks at the changes in Huangsha Ridge next door. Just a few days later, Chi Nan smiled, because everything was going according to his plan, with almost no difference.

In Huangshaling, those people did not feel any changes at first, but after a few days, the prices in Huangshaling began to rise crazily, and later there was a situation where people with money could not buy things.

On this day, Farah, who had not felt much yet, was reading the report and preparing to eat. But as soon as she saw the food that was served, Farah became furious and slammed the table: "Who made this? What are these things? I asked for white bread, but why was black bread served to me?" "

The so-called white bread is made from flour, while brown bread is made from black wheat flour. Now, the nobles have automatically classified black bread as common people's food, not something they eat.

After picking up the meat and taking a bite, Farah became even more angry: "And this barbecue, why is it so bland and why is there no seasoning? Doesn't the chef want to do it?" Farah was so angry that he no longer had the mood to eat.

Hogarth ran over quickly: "Lord, it's not that the chef doesn't cook well, it's because there is no flour in our territory, and I'm afraid we won't be able to eat the remaining seasonings for a few days."

"What's going on? Go buy it if you don't have it. Why don't you buy it? Tell me."

Farah was furious, but Hogarth had to say it. Speaking of which, he only realized something was wrong this morning. "Sir, I discovered a problem in our territory this morning, so I investigated it for a day."

"What did you find? Did someone rob the goods in our territory?"

Hogarth looked helpless: "Sir, do you still remember the sanctions issued by Hongshaling?"

"Of course I know. Isn't it just raising taxes? What's going on? Is it because of this that we have nothing?"

Hogarth nodded vigorously: "That's why our territory collects taxes, not for our own caravans, and we only collect them once. Although the merchants make less, they still make some money. Some people smuggle taxes and smuggle , and can often be seen. But after the economic sanctions, all the roads around us are surrounded."

"Everyone has to collect taxes whether they come in or out, including our own caravans. As a result, the merchants had no way to make money, and they all left in the end. Since the economic sanctions, there have been no people coming from outside caravans. ”

"Then what about our own caravan? Can't we buy things?" Farah was still very angry.

"Of course it can, but the back-and-forth tax collection will make our caravan lose money every time it moves. In order to make money, the prices of goods in our territory are getting higher and higher, and the civilians can no longer support it."

Farah said angrily: "What does the life and death of civilians have to do with me? If you can't support me anymore, just die."

Hogarth sighed: "But sir, the civilians can't support it. If they don't have a way to survive, they won't work well. Recently, some civilians were preparing for huge protests, but they were suppressed."

"What? They still dare to protest. These damn untouchables want to die, don't they? Don't worry about it. Buy me some flour first. It doesn't matter if it's more expensive." Farah didn't care at all.

"But sir, our miners have been idle these days. Although there are gold mines, our gold is about to run out." Gold is not a gold coin, but it can also be used as a gold coin for internal circulation.

"I will take care of these damn untouchables. No matter what, buy me some flour first. I can't eat this kind of thing." Farah was most concerned about her own food.

Hogarth smiled bitterly: "But sir, Hongsha Ridge has banned the sale of any items to us, and the road to Hongsha Ridge has also been blocked by them. If you want to buy flour, you have to When you go to other nobles’ territories, you have to go around a big circle. And because of our relationship, no matter which territory you pass by now, there is no safety guarantee.”

"Those nobles not only collected tariffs from us, but sometimes even kept our goods and even our people. Even if they said we were a caravan from Huangshaling, it was useless."

"What did you say? These damn bastards made various conditions when they wanted to use me, and now they are starting to attack me. What do they want to do? Are they trying to burn bridges?"

Hogarth didn't speak, just sighed. After all, their agreement was only in private, but the business alliance was explicit. Once economic sanctions are initiated, all territories will be sanctioned at the same time.

When you go out for a walk and come back, even if the goods are shipped back, the price will increase by more than ten times, so you may not be able to make money just like this. Merchants are unwilling to do this kind of selling and buying, let alone others.

"One more thing, Lord, many people in our caravan have already escaped. When we found out, there were less than one-third of the people in our caravan left, and even the caravan was about to maintain its strength. Can’t stand anymore.”

Farah was even more angry now. Who would have thought that a mere economic sanction would actually turn his territory into this. "Where is the army? Where is our army? Let the army go out. I want to see who dares to collect taxes." Farah said in a panic.
