However, it is still too difficult to realize this ideal. After all, as a senior superintendent of the Guard Bureau, it is impossible for her to carry out reforms. Moreover, the reason why Longmen can prosper is the arrival of capital. It is extremely difficult to reform. Chen Huijie does not think that she has the means like Wei Yanwu.

In addition to these, food is also something Chen Huijie cares about. The most popular commodity sold by merchants from Chernobyl is a kind of edible fungus.

The price was so cheap that Chen Huijie wondered if there was something bad mixed in it? For example, it contained Originium dust or something like that.

However, after she took the purchased mushrooms for testing, she found that they did not contain any substances that were threatening the human body. Apart from the unpleasant taste and low nutritional value, mushrooms were exactly the same as ordinary food.

Because of their extremely low prices, mushrooms are selling like hot cakes in Longmen. Whether it is the infected and the lower-class people in the slums or the low-income class in the upper city, these mushrooms can be said to be in short supply.

Because of the mushrooms, several grain companies in Longmen went bankrupt, and some large grain companies were also not doing well. The existence of these mushrooms was really too much for them.

Although high-income people criticize mushrooms, a food that has no nutritional value or taste, and feel that it is not worthy of being called food.

People in the slums have no idea about these remarks, and even if they did, they would just laugh.

As for those low-income classes, I'm too lazy to pay attention to them. Instead of arguing with them, why not buy more mushrooms?

As for the food companies, they are trying to figure out how to get their companies through the crisis, so how could they care about such things?

Moreover, the sale of food is to everyone, not a luxury for a few people.

What's more, even if they turn food into a luxury, what will happen? How much food can a group of high-income people buy? Only when more people buy food will its value increase.

If food is really a luxury that only a few can afford, then they will have to worry about their lives.

People who are starving to death don’t care who you are. They will fight to the death even against government soldiers.

If the mushrooms only made the grain companies feel like they were facing a serious enemy, then the mushroom strains being sold almost made the grain companies' three views collapse.

This kind of mushroom can mature within a few days with just a little watering, which makes many scientists who study crops call it unscientific. How can such technology appear now?

Chen Huijie has also purchased mushrooms. When she saw that the mushrooms she planted had grown into a patch of mushrooms within a few days, she was also stunned. Obviously, the reproductive ability of this kind of mushrooms was beyond her imagination.

The scientists who were studying crops in Longmen took the strains back for testing, but they did not discover the secret. After all, the strains for sale were castrated, and the original strains would not be sold.

Even though Chen Huijie didn't know much about grain trade, he was aware of the impact the emergence of mushrooms would have on various countries.

Food is very scarce in Terra, and even the price of food in Lungmen is not low.

Many people starve to death in the slums every day, and the appearance of mushrooms has a significant impact.

After Wei Yanwu got the news about the mushrooms, he immediately contacted the Yan State officials. After all, the existence of this kind of mushrooms can destroy a country's food industry.

Because the price of mushrooms is much cheaper than the cheapest grain in Longmen, if mushrooms are allowed to spread, the country's grain trade is likely to collapse, which is something no country would allow.

After the Yan State officials learned the news, they immediately sent people to confirm it. When they learned that the bacteria was true, they immediately took the bacteria to Dahuang City. This kind of bacteria must either have its secret cracked or be banned from circulation in Yan State. It must not be allowed to spread on a large scale.

=======Dividing Line=======

Dahuang City is a city located in the north of Yan State. In addition to being the front line against evil spirits, it is also the grain city of Yan State and the most advanced agricultural research base of Yan State.

The rice and wheat production here is the highest in Yan Country, and the production of other crops is also very high.

In a laboratory, a young man with two horns looked at the bacteria strains sent to him. In addition to the bacteria strains, there was also a letter.

The boy's name is He Sheng, an apprentice of an agricultural master. After receiving the strains and letters sent by the Yan State officials, he immediately began to check the strains.

After all, for him, new seeds are more tempting than letters.

After checking the fungus strains, He Sheng's heart was filled with shock.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and then a woman walked in.

The person who came had long hair that fell to her waist. The ends of her hair, which was mainly yellow, were blue. The two horns on her head were the same color as her hair. She had a long tail behind her, giving people a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, as if seeing her would calm anyone down even if they were in a bad mood.

This person is none other than the agricultural master of Dahuang City, Shu.

He Sheng looked at the person who came and said excitedly: "Teacher, look, the bacteria strains sent by the Yan country officials have incredible reproductive ability."

Shu looked at the letter next to Junzi, opened it and checked the contents.

............

After reading the letter, Shu took a deep breath and looked at the fungus strain with curiosity.

Obviously, even she was shocked by what was said in the letter. She knew very well what these mushrooms, which could reproduce quickly with just a little water, meant to Terra.

To put it bluntly, if these mushrooms can be provided to all of Terra, then no one will ever starve to death again and it will not just be empty talk, but a real fact.

However, the letter also said that these fungi were developed by people in Ursus, and they were sent here to let her try to crack the secret of the fungi. After all, it would not be a good thing for Yan Country if this technology was in the hands of other countries.

Shu picked up the fungus and used his ability to check its condition.

Hesheng looked at Shu and asked, "Teacher, is there any problem with this strain?"

Shu shook his head and said, "It's not a problem. They are normal strains, but they have been castrated. After planting them once, you need to buy new strains. Continuous planting is impossible."

He Sheng sighed: "Is that so?"

Shu said, "You continue to study the bacteria, and I will answer their questions."

Chapter 148 Yan Nation’s Headache

After leaving the laboratory, Shu went to the reception room outside. After looking at the officials from Yan State, he told them about his research on the bacteria.

"These strains are just castrated second-generation seeds. It is impossible to crack them in a short period of time. Moreover, it is very difficult to crack them. The resources required may exceed your imagination. My advice is not to waste your time."

Although the officials of Yan State had guessed this result long ago, they had no intention of giving up. These strains of bacteria have been sold to many places in Yan State. If the secret of the strains is not cracked as soon as possible, Yan State’s seeds may not be sold, and the same goes for grain.

Although these mushrooms do not taste very good and have no nutritional value, they are cheap. This alone means that the people will never give up on these mushrooms unless Yan Country’s current grain production can feed everyone.

After all, even in Yan Country there are still many people living in hunger. How could those people who don't have much money give up mushrooms, a food with the best cost-effectiveness?

Although Longmen's grain trade will not collapse because of food like mushrooms, mushrooms will definitely become the first choice of the lower class people in Yan Country, and even most of the low-income people will become customers of mushrooms.

Moreover, Yan Country is not sure whether the person who invented mushrooms will continue to invent better food. Even if there is no better food, as long as the taste and nutritional value of mushrooms can be improved, the food trade of all countries on Terra will definitely collapse.

According to the news from Ursus, the sale of mushrooms has blossomed everywhere in Ursus.

Although the Ursus officials tried to stop it, this cheap food was the only source of food for the lower class. Those who did not want to starve to death would of course resist.

Although Ursus had also suppressed the rebellion violently, the consequence was that the lower-class people completely rioted.

Since Ursus cannot provide them with the same cheap food, and even wants them to go back to the days of having no food to eat and starving to death if they are unlucky, how can the lower-class people accept this?

In order to avoid starving to death and to have enough food every day, the lower-class people and the infected in Ursus directly rebelled. Since you don’t want me to live, then you don’t even want to live.

A vigorous rebellion movement swept across Ursus from south to north. These grassroots people attacked the Ursus officials in the name of the People's Liberation Army. Because of these people, Ursus also fell into a disadvantage in the battle with the People's Liberation Army on the front line.

After all, they still have to allocate a lot of troops to suppress the rebellious people. You know, there are many places where rebellions occur, and a lot of troops are needed.

When the Yan Kingdom learned about this, everyone from the emperor to the nobles broke out in cold sweats. Apparently, this rebellion caused by food had made them alert.

After seeing mushrooms appear in Longmen, they suspected that the People's Liberation Army wanted to attract the lower-class people in Longmen through food in order to shake their rule. When the emperor and the nobles learned about it, they immediately prepared to issue an order to ban the sale of mushrooms in Yan State.

But the Taifu stopped them. After all, the existence of mushrooms had already spread to the ears of the people. If the emperor and the nobles really dared to do this, then they would have to make two preparations.

Either provide cheap food to all the lower-class people in Yan Country, and provide it every day.

Or send the army to various places to suppress the rioting people.

After all, they can't be like Ursus, not wanting to provide cheap food but also wanting to use force to suppress the people, right?

If a person has not seen the light, he can still endure the darkness, but how can a person who has seen the light continue to return to the darkness?

The words of the Grand Tutor quickly calmed the emperor and the nobles, but a dilemma ensued.

If Yan Country cannot provide cheap food, then don't try to stop them from buying mushrooms.

The civil and military officials in the Great Yan officialdom had no good solution to this situation. Even the most powerful Taoist priest in the Yan Kingdom could not do anything. After all, although he was powerful, he could not conjure food out of thin air.

You have to know that Yan State is a big country with a population of nearly 300 million. Even if Dahuang City has developed high-yield rice, wheat and other crops, these food are still insufficient facing the huge population of Yan State.

Even now, more than half of the people in Yan Country are starving. Although these people will not starve to death, having enough to eat is a very luxurious thing.

Having two meals a day is already considered good. Most people only have one meal a day. As for people who have three meals a day, only those in the mobile city have that. There are very few people like that outside.

As for prohibiting merchants from Ursus from entering Longmen, the emperor and others are not stupid. The Yan Kingdom’s troops have to deal with many enemies, including evil demons outside and the Sui beast inside. Where can they get extra troops to guard the border?

Moreover, due to natural disasters in Terra, things like borders are very vague. Since the main forces of a country live in mobile cities, not many countries care about the existence of borders.

Moreover, the number of troops needed to guard the entire border of Da Yan is not a small number. How could they send their precious troops to guard the border?

A tiny mushroom caused all the civil and military officials of Yan State to scratch their heads, because they could not think of any way to deal with it.

Even the Grand Tutor had a headache. This situation was more troublesome than the attack on Yan State.

After all, an attack only requires repelling the enemy, but there is only one way to crack the food attack method, and that is to use food to fight back as well. An attack will not work.

Yan State has always maintained a neutral position. They would not take the initiative to attack the People's Liberation Army just because they sell food to them. If they dare to do so, not only will Ursus on the opposite side not agree, but the people in their Yan State will not agree either.

For a while, even the threats from evil spirits and the beasts were temporarily put aside by the emperor and the grand tutor. After all, the threats from evil spirits and the beasts would not change in a short period of time, but food had already threatened the rule of Yan State.

You should know that merchants come not only from Longmen, but also from other regions. Mushrooms are not only famous in Longmen, but many regions in Yan Country have already known about the existence of mushrooms.

As for blocking the news, how is that possible? The people are not blind. Even the emperor and nobles of Yan State dare not ban the sale of mushrooms. Do they think their lives are too long?

............

Chernobyl, Su Xing didn't know that he had caused them a lot of trouble after sending merchants to Longmen to sell mushrooms. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he was doing a good thing.

Haven’t you seen how many people have been saved from starvation since the merchants from Ursus started selling mushrooms in Yan Country? Not only is there nothing wrong with what I am doing, it is also a great thing. Isn’t it a good thing to prevent fewer people from starving to death in Yan Country?

In addition, with the completion of the construction of the crop block, the number of fungus strains has increased a lot. Next, Su Xing plans to sell the fungus strains to half of Yan Country. It will be a great merit if half of the people of Yan Country can have enough to eat every day. Maybe the emperor of Yan Country and all the civil and military officials will thank him?

Chapter 149 Terrible Food Reserves

Su Xing looked at the information sent by Hellagur. The fungus strains had been sold to half of Ursus. Many low-level people joined the People's Liberation Army through the information provided by the merchants. Su Xing did not expect this.

After all, his original intention of selling the bacteria was just to feed the people of Chernobyl. He didn't expect that the existence of the bacteria would become the main reason for the rebellion of the lower-class people in Ursus. It can be said that he had achieved something unexpected.

As for selling the mushrooms to Yan Country, Su Xing used the mushrooms to make money from Yan Country.

After all, the cost of the fungus strains is negligible. Even if they are sold cheaply in Yan Country, the profit is still not low. Otherwise, why would so many businessmen buy fungus strains from Chernobyl and sell them to Yan Country?

A businessman would not do such a thankless task without profit.

Fortunately, the price of the fungus strains was limited by Su Xing, so even the lower-class people in Yan Country could afford it, although the price was certainly not as cheap as in Chernobyl.

After all, merchants also have to pay for transportation and other expenses. It is impossible that after transporting the products to Yan Country with great difficulty, the price sold is still the same as here in Chernobyl, right?

But even so, it still can't stop merchants from buying from Chernobog and selling to Yan Country. After all, how big is the area occupied by the fungus? Moreover, after the fungus arrives in Yan Country, these merchants can still plant it locally, and they can harvest a lot of fungi in a few days.

Whether selling strains or mushrooms, the profits brought by both are not low.

Because if all the strains of fungi that the merchants carry at one time are planted and harvested, they will be enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for several days. You can imagine how much profit they can make.

There were also merchants who wanted to raise the price, but they gave up the idea after thinking about other merchants in Yan Country. Moreover, if the Marshal of Chernobyl found out, they would be blacklisted, so raising the price was something they could only think about.

"It seems that I still underestimated the status of food in Terra. But it's normal. After all, Terra is in the process of transition from a feudal society to a capitalist society. It is normal that food production has not increased."

Su Xing thought about it and felt that he needed to improve the strains further. After all, the original strains Su Xing created were intended to fill people's stomachs. Now that hunger has basically disappeared in areas ruled by the People's Liberation Army, and the reserves of strains are sufficient, then improving new strains is a must.

You know, after solving the problem of food and clothing, humans will start to pay attention to taste and nutrition. At least some people in Chernobyl are not very interested in mushrooms.

Fortunately, these people did not waste food, otherwise Su Xing would let them continue to experience the feeling of hunger.

Su Xing would not make a big deal about these people's pickyness. After all, it is difficult for people to accept bad food after eating good food.

It was just like how Su Xing found it difficult to accept Terra's food at first. After all, he was in Ursus, and the food there was just edible. If it weren't for hunger, how could Su Xing stand the taste of that food.

Fortunately, I got used to it after eating it for a long time. In addition, Su Xing improved the sweet potatoes and potatoes. In addition to these two crops, Su Xing can also cook some meals that he is familiar with.

The improvement of mushrooms is similar to that of sweet potatoes and potatoes, all of which are to make them taste better and have higher nutritional value. There is nothing else that needs to be improved.

After all, mushrooms grow fast enough, and their yield is not low. They are cold-resistant, disease-resistant and insect-resistant. Except for the fact that they cannot grow in an Originium environment, mushrooms can be said to be much better than other crops on Terra.

Su Xing also wants to solve the problem of Originium resistance, but this is very difficult. After all, it is no more difficult than allowing crops on Earth to be grown in saline-alkali land.

Although this technology has been achieved on Earth, it took many years of hard work to achieve success. Where does Su Xing find the time now?

You know, after Chernobyl was involved in a protracted war with Ursus, a lot of construction has been stopped. After all, there are too many preparations needed to face the war.

Although there is no shortage of food, there is a severe shortage of ores and other supplies.
