Human Online Survival [Infrastructure]

"what?"

Hearing this, many people were shocked, and then they almost blurted out: "How is this possible?"

But then they remembered the usual style of the four major families, and then they all fell silent.

A few people reacted first, and they subconsciously took out their mobile phones.

Then, they were shocked and said, "I also received that text message."

Hearing this, other people also took out their mobile phones.

"I got it too."

"Hey, why didn't I receive it."

Chi Xian also took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, he also received the text message.

Therefore, basically all the large-scale expedition groups received this text message, and none of the smaller-scale expedition groups received it.

And if only one family received this text message, it can be said that someone was playing a prank, but now, so many people present have received this text message, and this text message was sent directly to their private mobile phone numbers Under the circumstances, it can only mean that this text message is probably sent by the Liu family.

After all, ordinary people don't have such a great ability.

Thinking of this, the representatives of those relatively small expedition groups couldn't care less about their anger - because there was no need to guess and they knew that the Liu family obviously didn't send them a message because they looked down on their small expedition groups.

They started discussing directly: "Why did the Liu family send us such a message?"

"Could it be that there is actually something else hidden about this matter?"

……

"Regardless of whether there is any secret or not, I dare not intervene in this matter... Think about it, even if something happened to the Liu family, it should not have hurt their bones. Otherwise, the news would have been flying all over the sky, so the Liu family It is still easy to deal with us now, don't forget, the old head of the Liu family is a great magician who just broke through a few days ago, not to mention, there are five senior magicians and more than 90 intermediate magicians in the Liu family , and this is just the strength of the Liu family on the bright side..."

"right……"

Hearing these words, the faces of the government officials above, including the mayor, immediately turned black, and their bodies trembled even more.

They never thought that the Liu family would dare to do such a thing openly.

"Quiet, quiet."

The staff present tried to maintain order, but no one listened to them at all.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the conference room gradually became quiet.

It's just that the other people present, including the leaders of the Shenlong Expedition Group and the Flame Expedition Group, fell silent.

They also wanted to help, but they couldn't afford to offend the Liu family.

After all, the life of the 300 million people in Qianshi is their life, and their life is also their life!

Seeing this, Chi Xian also closed his mouth.

Seeing this, the mayor and the others above immediately sank to the bottom of their hearts.

The mayor knows that this matter has been suspended.

So he could only force a smile: "I have already said what I want to say, you can go back and discuss with other people in the group first, and give me an answer as soon as possible."

"it is good."

The crowd didn't dare to look at him anymore, they stood up directly, and then left the venue quickly.

After such a thing happened, the head of the Shenlong Expedition Group and the others lost their mood for a party, and the most urgent task was to find out what exactly was going on between the Chang City Liu family and the government.

Only then can they make the best possible decision.

So as soon as the door of the meeting room came out, the head of the Shenlong Expedition Group said directly: "God Chi, Head Song, let's do this for today, we will get together another day."

Chi Xian nodded: "OK."

Then they hurried away.

Just when Chi Xian and the others were about to leave, a young woman suddenly walked over quickly.

If Chi Xian remembered correctly, she should be the mayor's secretary.

She said out of breath, "God Chi, please stay, the mayor is here."

Mayor's office.

The mayor took the teapot from the young woman's hand, and personally poured a cup of tea for Chi Xian and the others.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Chi Xiancai asked, "So you invited us here, is there something for you?"

The mayor was silent, then he looked at Chi Xian steadfastly, and said: "If I read correctly, in the meeting room just now, including the heads of the Shenlong Expedition Group and the Fire Expedition Group, I saw the Liu family send When I received that text message, everyone had embarrassing faces, only Chi Shen and you, you were very calm from the beginning to the end."

"So I can guess, maybe it's because you are not afraid of the Liu family."

Although his intuition told him that this was absolutely impossible.

After all, the Chishen Expedition Group is just a force that has just emerged, but the Liu family in Changshi is already one of the four major families in Huaxia Prefecture.

But he desperately wanted it to be true.

Because this is his and Asahi's last chance.

This is also the main reason why he invited Chi Xian and the others back after the meeting.

Facing the nervous gaze of the mayor and others, Chi Xian paused. He originally planned to keep a low profile for a while, but now it seems that they are no longer fit to keep a low profile.

After all, he really couldn't ignore the current situation of Asahi.

So he just said: "I can only say that the Chishen Expedition Group is indeed not afraid of the suppression of the Liu family."

Hearing this, the corners of Cao Qianyi and the others twitched.

That's it, isn't it low-key?

After all, the head of the Liu family is just a great magician now.

Even if the Liu family may still have a lot of hole cards, no matter how powerful they are, they should not be higher than the great magister, but before you, the old man, cutting the big magister was almost like cutting a watermelon.

boom!

But just this sentence is enough to make the mayor and others immediately lose their composure.

They stood up immediately.

"You, what you said is true?"

Because you Chi Xian's words are enough.

The most important thing is that since he dared to say this, it means that he is capable and willing to help them in all likelihood.

It never occurred to them that the mayor had made the right bet.

Chi Xian turned to Cao Qianyi directly.

Cao Qianyi directly took out a tablet, and she asked, "How much food does Qianshi need every day?"

The mayor immediately said: "According to the average of six taels per day for adults, and four taels per day for the elderly and children, Qianshi needs about 160 million catties of grain every day."

"In the past, the major expedition groups in Qianshi could supply about 40 catties of grain to Qianshi every day, so the current food shortage in Qianshi is 120 million catties per day."

"As long as you can provide us with 80 catties of food every day, no, 70 catties of grain, and we can find a way from other places, Qianshi should be able to survive."

"120 catties?"

Cao Qian also calculated directly on the tablet.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the mayor and others also rose.

The grain reserves in Qianshi can last for five days.

At present, the daily output of Tahe Village is 20 catties, but in half a month, the crops in the newly opened 5000 mu of land in Tahe Village will gradually mature, and the daily output of Tahe Village will reach 50 catties.

Lai'an City is also close to the sea. They are planning to go fishing recently. The current production is 20 catties per day. It should not be a problem to expand the production to [-] catties within half a month.

During this half month, they can buy a batch of grain from Oscontinent, and it shouldn't be a problem to buy hundreds of thousands of catties every day.

In two months, Casta City will usher in the harvest season. They hold half of the grain purchase rights in Casta City. By then, let alone 130 million catties of grain, they will be able to supply it even if it is increased by five or six times.

At this point, Cao Qianyi raised his head and said directly: "The Chishen Expedition Group can provide Qianshi with 120 million catties of food every day."

"What did you say?"

The mayor and others immediately clenched their fists: "Can the Chishen expedition provide Qianshi with 120 million catties of food every day?"

They had tried their best to speculate on the current size of the Chishen Expedition Group, which is why he called out the figure of 80 jin.

After all, it has only been less than four months since the Chishen Expedition Group was established.

As a result, the Chishen Expedition Group was able to directly help them plug this gap.

In other words, the power of the Chishen Expedition Group was obviously greater than he had imagined.

Then the mayor came to his senses: "Yes, after all, you all dare to say that you are not afraid of the suppression of the Liu family."

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the people in Qianshi are finally saved.

What is a turning point, what is a bright future, this is it.

He immediately stretched out his hand and squeezed Chi Xian's hand tightly: "I really, I really don't know how to thank you all."

Chi Xian smiled: "This is what I should do as a person in Qianshi."

Speaking of this, he paused: "But before that, I think we should be qualified to know why we want to confront the Liu family in Changshi, right?"

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the mayor and the others froze instantly.

The mayor slowly took his hand back.

After a while, he looked at Chi Xian and the others, and said firmly, "Actually, there is nothing I cannot tell you."

The deputy mayor at the side was even more angry: "Anyway, we are not the ones who betrayed the country and family."

The mayor said: "The Liu family in Changshi is Qisda City, which was withdrawn last month..."

"and many more--"

Chi Xian suddenly interrupted him: "You mean, the original residence of the Liu family in Changshi is in Jiasda City?"

The mayor subconsciously nodded.

Chi Xian laughed directly, and he said: "I remember you just said at the meeting that the Liu family said that they were forced to abandon their original residence this time because the church that cooperated with them before coveted their profits , turned against them..."

The mayor nodded, and then he was taken aback again: "Could it be that the truth is not what he said?"

"Yes."

Cao Qianyi laughed straight away: "If the Liu family's residence is really in Jiasda City, then we really know why the Liu family withdrew from Jiasda City."

"Because the old head of the Liu family was obsessed with sex, and after being drunk, he raped the sister of a knight of that church in the street. According to the law of Jiasda City, this is a capital offense, so they withdrew from Jiasda City overnight. And betrayed the secrets of that church to the deadly enemy of that church."

Hearing this, the faces of the mayor and the others immediately darkened.

"I didn't expect that the Liu family would still know how to lose face."

Then, as if thinking about it, Cao Qianyi said again: "By the way, I heard that before they withdrew from Jiasda City, they just harvested a large amount of grain, so they should not be short of grain now."

The mayor and others: "What?"

The Liu family is not short of food now?

But they directly cut off the cheap food to the government.

Chi Xian: "So what's going on?"

The mayor said angrily, "It's actually not the Liu family in Changshi who fell out with the government this time, but the Zou family in Beijing."

In short, a branch of the Zou family and the only son of the Huaxia State Speaker fell in love with the same girl, but that girl chose the only son of the speaker. Out of anger, the branch of the Zou family drove into a car. The speaker's only son and the girl, the girl pushed the speaker's only son out, but was killed by the collision, the speaker's only son stepped forward to reason with him, and was severely injured by him.

The speaker's family wanted to hand over that branch to the court, but the Zou family wanted to keep that branch, because that branch was a friend of the heir of the Zou family, and his father had saved the life of the current head of the Zou family before.

Then something happened, and the government and the Zou family got into a deadlock.

The government didn't want to easily reconcile with the Zou family this time. They had to let the Zou family know that no matter how powerful they are now, they must abide by the laws of Huaxia Prefecture. As a result, the Zou family directly cut off the cheap food provided to the government.

Cao Qianyi frowned: "Didn't you sign a magic contract with them?"

The mayor said with a wry smile: "At that time, we couldn't get the magic contract at all. Later, the power of the four major families became more and more powerful. We wanted to sign it, but they no longer agreed."

Therefore, it is self-evident that the Liu family in Chang City had no shortage of food, but followed the Zou family to cut off the cheap food provided to the government.

One is because the four major families now share the same hatred, and the Liu family wants to help the Zou family to force the government to bow to the Zou family.

After all, the Zou family cut off the cheap food they provided to the government. The government gritted its teeth and was able to survive.

But if the Liu family also cuts off the cheap food provided to the government, then the millions of civilians in E Province and Border Province will only have a dead end.

The most important thing is that the Liu family concealed the news that there was no shortage of food in their hands, and turned around and could sell this batch of food that should have been sold to the government at a low price to other states at double or even triple the price.

"Just because of such a trivial matter, do they even care about the lives of millions of people?"

Cao Qian also couldn't believe it: "Are the four major families all so arrogant?"

Deputy Mayor: "Otherwise, how do you think the four major families rose?"

He said: "The Liu family in Changshi originally ran a large-scale security company. Changshi was originally just a small remote county town. After the end of the world, the Liu family directly led people to occupy the local grain depot. The local snakes, what's more, just happened to have a passage in Changshi, and they colluded with the officials of Changshi to conceal this matter... By the time the government found out about this, the Liu family had already grown..."

"The Zou family in the capital city was originally a family of ancient warriors. The government gave them money and goods in order to find a chance of life, and vigorously supported them to enter Osland to explore. As a result, the first thing they did after their rise was to collude with the other three families and get rid of the government. control……"

But when the strength of the four major families became stronger and stronger, the team sent by the government to explore Oscontinent was repeatedly frustrated.

As a result, the government was forced to reach a settlement with the four big families.

The government can tolerate the expansion of the power of the four major families, including the establishment of the four major colleges, and even allocate some seats in the House of Representatives to them.

But the four major families must provide the government with a certain amount of cheap food every year.

"In the past, the cheap grain they sold to us contained at least half a tael of sand in a catty of grain, but now they are going too far, with at least one tael of sand mixed in a catty of cheap grain."

"And even if the food they sell to us is good food, it doesn't matter, but many times, they sell good vegetables and rice to supermarkets and even other states at a high price. The rotten leaves that were picked were sold to us."

Hearing this, the faces of Cao Qianyi and the others also turned blue.

They never imagined that even in modern times, there are still people who can be so shameless.

The mayor took a deep breath: "But it's useless for us to be angry, because we still rely on the cheap food provided by the four big families to save our lives."

This is why, even though the reason for this matter is so disgusting, they did not tell the expedition group the truth at the meeting just now.

Because they were worried about offending the Liu family, the Liu family would completely cut off their cheap food.

Having said that, the mayor turned his head to look at Chi Xian again: "Thank you for telling us the news."

"Thank you also for your willingness to lend a helping hand to us."

But Chi Xian said: "Since that's the case, why don't you secretly release all this news."

The mayor and others: "What?"

Chi Xian: "Our expedition team is currently planning to recruit people, but recruiting people from outside is too troublesome, so we want to directly recruit some reliable expedition teams."

"So I want to ask you to do us a little favor."

The mayor and others looked at each other: "..."

Chi Xian: "In this situation, if you are willing to help the government's expedition team, your character is generally not bad. I will trouble you to provide us with a list when the time comes."

Wouldn't this save them the trouble of going through the assessment one by one?

The expressions of the mayor and others gradually became serious.

Chi Xian: "As a reward, the Chishen Expedition Group can continue to provide Qianshi with cheap food until Qianshi no longer needs it."

Cao Qian also reacted immediately: "Even if the Chishen Expeditionary Group successfully completes the expansion, after two months, the Chishen Expeditionary Group can provide cheap food for the entire E Province."

Provide cheap food for the entire E province?

The mayor and others fell silent immediately.

It's not that they are not moved, they just suddenly thought of something and then got scared.

Because the Chishen Expedition Group clearly wanted to expand their strength quickly, and their current strength was already huge.

The mayor looked at them and only said, "Will you be the next four big families?"

It is really that the four major families have taught them too many lessons.

Cao Qian also smiled: "We won't, because we are not greedy."

She finally said: "The four major families dare not sign a magic contract with you, we dare!"
