No coal, this is not a joke of the shopkeeper. The little coal that was sold to Mr. De was saved by the shopkeeper and he dared not use it.

"The coal in Jianfeng City is almost gone now. I really don't dare to touch the coal in my store, it's all reserved for the academy." The shopkeeper cupped his fists and smiled wryly.

Now the price of coal in Jianfeng City has reached an extremely high level. What used to cost one hundred catties of coal can only buy twenty catties of coal now.

Especially the price of coal that large households plan to use for winter heating is even more expensive. Because big families are different from ordinary people, they can talk about it.

Don’t want to burn too much smoke, don’t want to smell bad when burning, don’t want to crackle and burst into sparks when burning.

It must be the kind of silver filament carbon that can burn stably, smokeless, tasteless and does not explode sparks.

Now the price of silver filament carbon on the market has been increased to ten times the original price. Still in a priceless state.

The season is approaching the beginning of winter, and the temperature in Jianfeng City has dropped to seven or eight degrees during the day, and it is close to zero at night.

Really poor people don't care whether the price of coal rises or not, since they can never afford it anyway. Poor people have always used firewood for heating and cooking, but they never cared about the smoke from the firewood.

On the contrary, the relatively wealthy class in Jianfeng City felt the difference between today and the past.

Because the price of coal continues to rise, the price of consumption places such as brothels and taverns has risen accordingly. And the price increase in this regard has already begun to affect the daily life of the wealthy class in Jianfeng City.

As Mr. De, who is in charge of purchasing and logistics at the academy, it can be said that he has a decent job in Jianfeng City.

Because in addition to being responsible for purchasing, Mr. De is also responsible for managing the daily logistical supplies of the students in the college. The more supplies in the student building, the better. The supply of that student building was almost in the dark, and he had the final say.

However, Mr. De has never done too much favoritism. On the contrary, he works diligently in the academy, belonging to that kind of good-natured character.

From time to time, I will help students who are living in difficulties. Many students also know how to reciprocate, and come back to see him from time to time after graduation. Take care of his life.

Therefore, Mr. De's status in the academy has also increased with the sending away of generation after generation of graduates.

Mr. De's high status in Jianfeng City made him believe that it is impossible for a shopkeeper who sells coal to deceive himself.

So Mr. De asked, "Why is there no more coal?"

"Hey, I'm going to tell you about this. We don't produce coal here in Jianfeng City. We neither burn carbon nor dig coal. All coal in Jianfeng City is transported from Changtan County of."

"Hundreds of thousands of coal workers in Changtan County supply the coal for our entire Jianfeng City. But recently, for some unknown reason, the workers in Changtan County seem to have taken the wrong medicine."

"It is said that there is no work, and there is a strike every day. Once they stop producing coal, there will be no coal in Jianfeng City."

The shopkeeper waved his hand helplessly.

After hearing this, Mr. De snorted angrily: "This is unreasonable. There is no production in all industries. Winter is coming, and there will be heavy snow soon. If there is no coal, how many people in Jianfeng City will freeze to death?"

"There are also international students from other countries on the mainland who are also studying at my Jianfeng City College. Let them see this kind of thing, and finally pass it back. Doesn't it appear that my academy teacher is disgraced?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "That's right! Those foreigners will laugh at our Jianfeng City by then!"

"Hmph." Mr. De's anger continued: "Do you know why there is no work or production in Changtan County?"

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he knew that the master's account was probably certain.

He whispered: "I heard that a demon monk came and occupied the Xinlong Temple in Changtan County. He injured the chief abbot. Every day, he opened the altar to teach demon law."

"Bewitching those people not to work, not to produce. This has led to the fact that we have no coal in Jianfeng City."

Mr. De was even annoyed by the shopkeeper's bewitching.

He asked, "Does Changtan County just ignore it?"

"Hey, what do you do? That demon monk is very powerful. Liu Guanzhang, the three masters in Changtan County are not his opponents. Even the abbot of Xinlong Temple, a dignified fifth-rank master, is not his opponent. Who dares to control it. "

"Besides, the demon monk is just trying to persuade the people not to go to work. He didn't do anything else, and Changtan County can't control it. People don't commit crimes if they don't work."

The shopkeeper's words made Mr. De's blood pressure soar with anger: "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! How can such a monstrous monk stay for so long?! He hasn't tricked the people into committing crimes yet, but if he stirs it up, it will definitely be raining cats and dogs! "

"This matter can't be left alone!" Mr. De waved his hand angrily and left.

The shopkeeper hurriedly chased after him: "Mr. De, your charcoal."

"Send me to the academy."

Mr. De left angrily. After returning to the academy, he wanted to write a letter to the academy disciple who had graduated but had a good relationship with him.

But after picking up the pen a few times, I put it down again.

Putting one's own favor on such a matter does not need to consider whether it is cost-effective or not. But the problem is that many disciples have already left Jianfeng City, and they can't quench their thirst far away.

Nowadays, many important figures in Jianfeng City are pretending to be dead. They have no shortage of coal, even if they spend a lot of money to buy it from farther places, they can insist on it.

They just have an impact on life.

But there are still many ordinary people in Jianfeng City. Mr. De saw many ordinary people making troubles on the streets along the way. There are many fights over coal fuel.

You must know that Jianfeng City is an international metropolis in the world of Sedum, and there are a lot of international friends here.

What if all these scenes are seen by those international friends, and then they return to China to spread the word? !

Diplomacy is no small matter.

Before he came back, he went to the civil affairs officer of Jianfeng City to have a look. They also gave him face, saying that Jianfeng City has distributed a batch of cheap coal in stock to the residential areas of foreign missions and foreign exchange visitors, and will not let them freeze.

Only then did Mr. De come back with a satisfied nod.

However, if the shortage of coal supply in Changtan County cannot be solved for a long time, then all the current methods are to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

None of the chief officials in Jianfeng City took the initiative to undertake this matter first. Because they didn't break the law, they just didn't work. Can you force that group of people to work with a sword? This is against the rules, and if you really want to be your own official voice, it will be over.

So Mr. De had an idea in his mind after thinking about it.

………………

Another day, in the cafeteria of the academy, the students of the academy came to have lunch after their morning classes. Sitting in a conspicuous corner, Mr. De suddenly let out a long sigh: "It's snowing heavily this winter, and it's cold and hungry. I don't know how many people will freeze to death this winter."

ps: This book has been updated. I didn’t write this book last year because there are really many things. I can't write any more. I broke my foot at the beginning of this year and it hasn't healed yet. It took me a long time to rest.

It calmed down my originally anxious heart because of life, and I could start writing books again. Last year I was in a very anxious situation with my whole being. I was overwhelmed by all kinds of things, such as getting married, giving birth, and borrowing money. The whole person's mind is in a mess.

Because the financial situation is so tight that I want to kill myself every now and then. So I thought about starting a new book and making money. Then I want to make money by drawing and modeling for people, and even want to make money by doing food delivery. I did a lot of messy things throughout the last year.

In addition, I had to take care of my children before, so I really wanted to die.

I broke my foot this year, but it made me calm down.

I opened a new book seriously, but the results were not satisfactory. It should be caused by not writing a book in the last year. But that book will be finished.

This restaurant will also be written down, and it will be written little by little at a rate of one update a day and two updates the next day.
