I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing knew what they were thinking, and said simply: "You are right about this matter, the only mistake is that you use the wrong method. As I said, the law is the foundation of the alliance. No matter what you do, you must have the law. But if there is love to follow, let him go quickly."

Wang Sui said: "The law of the alliance may not be perfect, since there is no law in this regard, let's add one."

Luo Shixing glanced at him: "Adding laws and regulations is a very serious matter. It will take many rounds of discussions and even careful research to make a decision. It is easy to add laws and regulations, but it will have a great impact. One of your decisions may affect many people. Families have been hit."

Normally speaking, the formulation of laws and regulations is actually relatively backward. It’s not that they don’t want to be fast, but that they can’t be fast. Of course it’s easy to slap their heads, but if they only care about some people who speak out, then the other part of the silent people may be hurt, so they All aspects must be considered.

Wang Sui was not particularly good at this, so he hesitated for a while before saying: "Then... just let it go like this?"

Luo Shixing leaned back and said seriously: "Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with them. I said that the alliance should try not to use public power to interfere with the market economy."

Only when the market economy is carried out automatically and orderly can it be full of vitality. Under restrictions, the market economy can only become a planned economy.

"But if the price of food continues to rise like this, the common people will not be able to afford food." Wei Ziyao was a little puzzled.

Luo Shixing chuckled: "I said that public power is not needed, but I didn't say that there is no other way. The alliance has stockpiled so much food to deal with the crisis."

And the crisis is not just drought or other disasters, sometimes this kind of sudden rise in prices is also among them.

Luo Shixing said directly: "Release one thousand shi of grain, sell it at the normal price, and tell everyone that the grain of the alliance is very sufficient, because you have developed a grain with a higher yield, you can also publicize your research results by the way, How about it?"

Wei Ziyao scratched his head: "Ah, so it is like this."

Wang Sui had thought of this, but his previous idea was to arrest all those who disturbed the market and make an example of them, so that they would not dare to raise prices at will, so that they would not need to use the alliance's food.

As for whether there is such a thing as the law... Actually, isn’t what they say the law?

Lynx catkin is still too soft-hearted after all.

When Luo Shixing saw that Wang Zhen didn't speak, he knew that Wang Zhen might have his own ideas, but it wasn't Wang Zhen's fault.

This is the case in this era, but what Luo Shixing wants is to rule the alliance by law. After this tone is established, no matter who the leader of the alliance is, or who the leadership team is, there will be no major problems.

After the middle-aged woman knew that her family would be released, she was very grateful to Luo Shixing.

Luo Shixing asked, "Where do you buy your food from?"

The development of the alliance is not so fast now, and there are no large merchants. Most of the food grown by ordinary people is sold to the alliance, and a small part is left to sell in the market, and then exchanged for money to buy other things.

From this point of view, it is very doubtful where the food in the hands of these speculators comes from.

The middle-aged woman said cautiously: "We bought it from Zhoucheng."

Zhoucheng... Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment before realizing, oh, it's the state capital of Jiaozhou, but the state capital of Jiaozhou is relatively non-existent.

It seems that the construction is not very good. They would rather go far away to buy things from the central city of Lingnan No. [-] to buy things from Alezhen.

You must know that the five government departments in Lingnan are under the jurisdiction of the governor of the Guangfu, and this Guangfu actually refers to Guangzhou, and the governor of the Guangfu is also called the Jiedushi of the Wufu.

Luo Shixing had been ignoring Zhoucheng before, but now he heard that someone bought grain from Zhoucheng and sold it here, but he didn't know what to say.

He asked a little strangely: "Does the state city also produce food?"

The middle-aged woman was probably grateful to Luo Shixing, and she knew everything she could say: "No, the food over there is not as much as ours."

Luo Shixing's large-scale promotion of farming has achieved some results, but Zhoucheng... Seeing that the entire Jiaozhou is sitting on Baoshan and most of the tribes are in poverty, you know that Zhoucheng does nothing at all.

So these people must have planned to resell grain from the very beginning, otherwise it would be impossible to go to the state city to buy grain.

Next, he asked about the price of grain. The price of grain in Zhoucheng must not be low, so they need people who make the price of grain high, and then use various rhetoric to incite people.

Of course, what they said was correct, the drought was real, and the common people didn't know whether they were short of food, and it was impossible for the Food Bureau to announce the amount of food it had stockpiled every day, which was a secret of the alliance.

Luo Shixing sneered and asked the middle-aged woman to be taken out.

Wei Ziyao was still a little bit aggrieved: "These people's hearts are dark, I...I'm not convinced."

Luo Shixing glanced at him and said helplessly, "What are you afraid of? They will suffer next."

As Luo Shixing said, after the alliance began to release grain to stabilize food prices, the people's crazy buying of grain has been curbed. At the same time, everyone knows that there are more grains with more yields per mu, and the alliance is even planning to build water conservancy, trying to let everyone No need to worry about watering the ground.

After everyone was relieved, they stopped buying and hoarding grain like crazy, and those grain merchants who wanted to drive up the price of grain had already regretted it, because Wei Ziyao discovered it early, so they only had time to pass the news on, and they were waiting for the next time The bazaar sold all the food.

However, everyone's mood has stabilized now. The most important thing is that if there is cheap food to buy, who will buy high-priced food?

Many of these people bought food with all their wealth, and now the food is in their hands, and they can't sell it—their deeds have also been publicized by the vengeful Wei Ziyao.

Ordinary people may not understand many things, but when it comes to food, their vigilance will increase a lot. After knowing that they buy high-priced food because these people want to make black-hearted money, these people are like street rats. Wherever they go will be reviled.

They originally wanted to sell the grain in their hands to get some money back, so that they would not lose everything.

However, once the seeds of distrust are planted, their reputation is already bankrupt. Even if the price they sell is the same as the official price, the common people feel that they are making their own money.

I don't even know where the rumors came from saying that their food was of poor quality and poisonous.

This time, they couldn't even pay back the money. When they wanted to turn around and sell it to the alliance, the alliance told them very politely: no payment for the time being.

In fact, the grain is harvested all the time. Ordinary people will collect grain when they come to sell it. Wei Ziyao doesn't even want to hide it. He told them not to harvest it, and the people there carried the grain bag to the grain collection point to trade as usual.

The profiteers had no choice but to sell to other places. It was impossible for all the tribes along the Belt and Road to buy their food.

Then they have only two ways to go, the first is to go to a further place to sell, but it is still a matter whether people buy it or not, and the second is to go to Fucheng.

Guangfu is too far away from here, even if there is any news, it is impossible to reach there.

Originally, they had a better choice to go to the Baimu tribe, but now one of the main counties of the Baimu tribe has been occupied by them. The news just announced in the past two days, everyone is beaming. If they go to Baimu County, they will cast themselves into a trap .

Although everyone didn't say it, they knew in their hearts that the deputy leader was much more fierce than the leader.

The profiteers finally gritted their teeth and stomped their feet and had to form a group to sell grain in Canton. Of course, it would be better if they could sell it on the way.

They have already planned to move and not stay in the alliance. Their reputations are rotten. The neighbors and neighbors will roll their eyes when they see them.

Not to mention that this place is full of martial arts, if you feel that scolding is not enough, you may still get used to it, so naturally you can't live here.

It’s just that the journey from Jiaozhou to Guangzhou, and from Union to Guangfu is too far away. It took Wang Sui and the others a few months to complete the round trip when they were escorted back then. These people didn’t even have an escort. , took the whole family on the road, and the result can be imagined-they were robbed halfway.

The only fortunate thing is that the robbers only took away the food, and did not move other things, nor did they harm the lives of these people.

When Luo Shixing heard the news, he felt weird. When did the robbers still pay attention to humanitarianism?

Just when he was wondering, Cheng Jingwei sent someone to escort a batch of grain, saying it was handed over from the Baimu tribe.

Luo Shixing: ...

Everyone knows the situation of the Baimu tribe. They don't have the habit of hoarding food at all. He really knows where the food comes from with his toes.

The only thing that made him gratified was that Cheng Jingwei didn't kill them all this time, at least they were spared.

However, Cheng Jingwei felt that it would be too cheap to kill them with a knife, and it would be enough to relieve their anger by letting them live in panic on the way.

After Luo Shixing asked people to harvest the grain, he immediately wrote to Cheng Jingwei, telling him that he had cultivated rice with a higher yield, and at the same time asked him to pack the grain and send it over, and asked Cheng Jingwei to watch the people over there planting the land.

At the same time, he is still preparing to expand the arable land area.

Neither Wei Ziyao nor the bosses knew why Luo Shixing was so anxious to ask everyone to grow more food.

However, Luo Shixing couldn't tell the real reason.

Because of this drought, Luo Shixing dug out a sentence from Zi Zhi Tong Jian in the corner of his memory: "Three years have passed, and the world is hungry, especially in Shandong and Guan Nei."

The high probability of causing a famine is natural disasters. Luo Shixing doesn't know if Lingnan will be affected, but it is definitely no problem to make preparations in advance.

The third year of Chuigong is next year. In fact, it's a bit late to make preparations now. Luo Shixing only regrets that he didn't think of it in advance.

Because of this, he has been recalling the history books he has read in his mind for the past two days, and then picked up the important ones and wrote them down.

History may be changed because of butterflies, but it is difficult to affect the natural environment unless it is destroyed over time, which will take many years.

After writing and sending out the letter to Cheng Jingwei, Luo Shixing suddenly realized one thing: If Cheng Jingwei were to watch over there farming the land, it wouldn't be done in a short time, would he be able to come back?
