The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 57 Food shortage
The situation in the city was just as Jinbo said, as the weather got colder and colder, not only food, but also charcoal clothing to keep out the cold were in extreme shortage.

This is directly related to the fire in the capital city. The fire not only burned down several granaries and warehouses, but also burned down the real estate and belongings of many people for several lifetimes.

Many families who used to be counted as middle class have nothing now.

It is said that it is rebuilding, but it is just that those big families who still have some wealth can build houses and buy food.

After all these tosses, it can be said that the capital of Dayou was destroyed.

Jin Xiao's act of usurping the throne led to the death of the first emperor, and the series of incidents triggered, each of which is pushing Da You towards the direction of collapse.

But now Jin Yi, who holds the power in her hands, unconsciously hangs Jin Xiao's life, hoping for his speedy recovery.

Although order was restored in the palace under Jinyi's high pressure, people's hearts were fluctuating, and no one really supported Jinyi and the imperial power.

Under the series of operations of Xie Xian and Nan Zhu outside, it can be regarded as barely soothing people's hearts.

Xie Xian sold grain at a high price, and indeed made a lot of money from the rich households in Dayou, but he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to stabilize the situation, it was not enough to rely solely on the wealthy households in the capital.

Most of the victims in the city have lost everything. At such a time, any stimulus can destabilize the situation that has finally stabilized.

If at that time, there is really no power to recover.

So Xie Xian used some of the grain to build a porridge shed. Although it cannot guarantee that every victim will be full, at least they will not starve to death.

I also took out part of the money, bought wood and stones, and built a shed to avoid the cold. I hope God will open my eyes, and this winter will not have the extreme weather like previous years.

The winter solstice sacrifice on Nanzhu's side is also going on steadily. These faithful men and women who have abandoned the imperial power are gathering more and more, pinning their hopes and destiny on the invisible and intangible gods.

As a result, the inseparable people in the capital were divided into three factions.

The imperial power faction headed by Jin Yi holds all the troops in the capital of Dayou and maintains the already precarious imperial power.

Xie Xian's side is the pragmatic group, who gathered the richest people in Dayou Capital City. They believe in the laws of nature, and those who are capable survive.

However, Nan Zhu, an extraterrestrial expert in the eyes of the world, has inadvertently gained the hearts of the people, gathered many desperate people, and pushed the theocracy, which no one cared about before, to another peak.

On another sunny morning, a carriage waiting for the security check in front of the city gate looked particularly abrupt.

Although the carriage is small, with only two horse-drawn carriages, it is extraordinarily luxuriously decorated.

Those who were waiting to get out of the city whispered. At such a time, if you can drive out of the city in such a car, the people inside must be either rich or noble.

They guessed right, the person sitting here was the second prince Jin An, who had been entangled with Xie Xian for several days, and he was finally able to leave the capital in a dignified way to win over his natal family.

But why couldn't he be happy at all, he always felt that this was not a good idea at all.

Before his family came, he always thought that although his family was in decline, it was still a family of poets and books for nearly a hundred years.

Even if there is no money and power, there are many students from my family. After so many years, there must be some connections.

He didn't know until he saw someone from his mother's family that he was still too optimistic.

Dayou has declined in recent years, and people have long been disinterested in advocating poetry and etiquette.

The colleges and schools that his family had set up in various places in Dayou in several lifetimes had long since been closed, and those that were sold were all abandoned.

Only a few schools in Huafengzhou's own family are still barely open, and this time they got the news and came to the capital to pick him up, hoping to use the status of Prince Jin'an to prevent the family's business from coming to an end.

If Jin An wants to rely on his family to help him and Jin Xiao Jinyi seize power, he is really delusional.

But he had already greeted Xie Xian before his family came to pick him up, showing that he really wanted to leave the capital and go back to his family.

If this meeting repents, Xie Xian will no longer trust him and help him, even if he stays in the capital, it will be useless.

Not to mention fighting for power with Jin Xiao Jinyi, maybe they will be put to death by them.

So he had to go back to this ancestral home even if he didn't, and opened the curtain to take a last look at the place he had never left.

After leaving, he is afraid that he will never come back in this life.

As far as the eyes can see, there are only dilapidated and withered scenes, and the prosperous and magnificent Dayou capital city in my memory has already changed beyond recognition.

Feeling lonely and sad, I only blame myself for being untimely, full of knowledge and enthusiasm, and nowhere to display it.

The gate of the city opened slowly, and Jin An lowered the curtain, leaving the capital city that carried countless dreams of him.

On the Huangzhuang outside the city, Jinbo is teaching Jinse how to use the Liannu he improved last night.

"Why are you so stupid, I said three points and one line, three points and one line.

The eyes, the front sight, and the prey must be in a straight line. You don’t even understand this. What kind of mountains and hunting are you going to do? Just stay at home and wait for the food. "

Jinse stomped her feet angrily, but she didn't dare to bark her teeth at Jinbo. She had never seen this crossbow before. She tried to shoot a few shots, but she couldn't hit the target at all.

I have always been very talented in swords, guns and sticks. Whether it is archery or horseback riding, I can learn it quickly, so I have to work hard when I am in front of Jinbo.

"Jinbo, if you go farther away, it will affect me. This is a formal weapon, and I can't use it.

If you keep reading, I can't even aim right, but if you let me get more familiar with it, I will be able to hit it right. "

Jinbo didn't quarrel with Jinbo, so Jinbo was not used to it, and reminded again, "Don't hurt yourself." He put away his quiver and went forward.

Knowing that there was a shortage of food on Zhuangzi last night, Jin Bo decided to go to the mountain behind Zhuangzi to have a look.

This is also a reminder from the system that gathering and hunting may be able to overcome the current difficulties.

In the last days, mutated beasts cannot be eaten, and all food depends on synthesized proteins and nutrients.

So collecting and hunting was the first time for Jin Bo, and he spent most of the night studying the documents in the system.

According to the current level of technology, several Liannu have been improved. Jinse was very excited after hearing Jinbo's plan.

It started early in the morning, and the few families outside the village had hunters, but at most they just set up a few rabbits and hunted a few pheasants at the foot of the mountain.

They have never been to the deep mountains before, and now they have to rely on them for the rations of the whole winter. Before the heavy snow closes the mountains, they must hunt some large animals for storage.

Jinse agrees to go up the mountain to hunt, but firmly disagrees with Jinbo going up the mountain too.

The reason is very heart-wrenching: "You are too small, your legs are so short, if you can't keep up with us, you won't become a burden.

Take a good look at the house, sister, I will definitely return with a rewarding experience. "
