Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 1632 Implementation of the Plan 1
Things with Jones have since been resolved—except for a broken hand.Considering the crimes he committed, Huanmeng felt that it was nothing to break one of his hands - Night Breeze also specifically told the person in charge of detaining Jones not to bandage or treat him, and let the broken bones stay in his arms Wreak havoc - just the slightest movement will hurt like hell.Even Huanmeng couldn't sympathize with this old guy who tried to murder all the people of the Baitao Country.

Regarding the crimes committed by Jones, Fanmeng also narrated to the king in detail—of course, not in a public place like the morning meeting—the king was still in a stable mood when he first listened, corrupt and perverting the law Even if a person like Jones did such a thing, it was expected; however, the matter of privately purchasing coal made the king a little puzzled. How could Jones, who is greedy for money, spend so much money to buy coal for burning?When Huameng talked about the information related to this winter, the king could hardly believe it—the temperature in this winter would actually drop to that extent?Freeze the entire country to death?This is really unbelievable!
It's fine if the other officials don't believe it, but if the king doesn't believe it, then it's over.Huanmeng took out the research report of Deviru - of course, the king himself couldn't understand it.For such a big matter, it is not enough to rely on the prestige of the Floating Continent and Devilu's previous research on dust explosions. It must be evaluated by professionals.Therefore, the king summoned several top scholars in related fields to confirm the research report, and finally got affirmative results.

At this moment, the king couldn't help but not believe it.

Compared with this matter, the black materials of the officials and other research results of Devilu are not worth mentioning-this is a matter of the survival of the entire Baitao Kingdom.Just as Jones conceived, if there is not enough coal for heating, the vast majority of the residents of the Baitao Kingdom will not be able to survive this winter; and if they want to buy a sufficient amount of coal... Judging from the current situation , is simply impossible.First of all, the treasury and the people don’t have enough money to buy it. Secondly, even if they have the money to buy it, such abnormal behavior will also attract the suspicion of the country of Burning Stone: the country of Baitao suddenly bought so much coal. What are you going to do?If they can deduce from this information that "this winter may become quite cold", they will directly refuse to sell coal, and it may not be necessary to wait until the climate warms up before aggressively attacking the country of Baitao.

Fortunately, Jones did not tell the people of Burning Stone Country about this news—of course, he was not thinking about the interests of the White Tao Country, but for his own interests.If the news is known to the Burning Stone Kingdom first, then he will not have so many benefits to take - not to mention, whether the people of the Burning Stone Kingdom believe this is also a problem, if they want to take advantage of this, put Telling the king of Baitao's country about this matter, his position will be quite troublesome.

There is only one way to deal with the current situation - to reduce the price of salt and coal.

This is no longer a question of "reducing the burden of living", but a question of the survival of all residents of the Baitao Kingdom; now, any opposition from officials and nobles is useless, the high price must be lowered, and then the people They spontaneously bought coal to save themselves.

However, why it is necessary to do so cannot be told to them.
