Sign in at the beginning, I am the Holy Body of Chaos

Half an hour is gone in a flash.

Soon, the beauty from the finance department sent the expense report as scheduled.

It was about the same as what Chu Nan expected, and there was still Shangfu. Today's expenses have actually reached [-] gold carats.

If it really continues to increase according to this momentum, even Chu Nan has to admit that he really can't hold on.

But now what...

"Buddy." Chu Nan called out.

"Yes." Buddy responded immediately. As Chu Nan's bodyguard, when he had nothing to do, he actually hid in the dark and followed Chu Nan all the time.

"Here's an order to take [-] gold carats, and buy all the food that can be bought on the market first! In addition, let me tell you that starting today, those who have not joined the job will only be provided with two meals. The army will continue to eat three meals as usual Open, other departments, take care of lunch and dinner! Then, there is no entry-level meal, reduced to one meat and one vegetarian for lunch, and two vegetarian and one soup for dinner!"

"Ah... but this... I'm afraid it's not right?" Buddy was stunned for a while. The instructions of the Holy Son of Light really made him puzzled. He couldn't figure it out at all. ?

"Hey." Chu Nan sighed and shook his head on purpose, expressing his helplessness: "Do you know how much the daily expenses are now? Although I still have some gold carats in my hand, according to this progress, I can last half a month at most. Now, we must cut expenses first. Besides, I am not obliged to provide three meals a day, especially now, look, two meat and two vegetarian meals are better than what I eat? If you want to eat so well, you have to have that Value is the only way! What's more... there are some financial problems now!"

"Yes." Buddy was even more surprised. The Son of Light's words were obviously not quite right. The gold carat that was taken out last time alone was enough to last for at least another month or two, right?

However, he didn't say much, just nodded, and followed Chu Nan's instructions, and conveyed the order.

Outside the door, Marquis Caesar heard these words, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He rushed out of the gate in a hurry, then got into the carriage, went out of the city and circled around first, then quietly moved towards the most luxurious place in San Diana!In the most extravagant restaurant!

"Lord Marquis, you are here." Ling Feng received him with a smile.

On the side, those nobles also had smiles on their faces. Recently, they have made a lot of money, and the credit of Marquis Caesar is indispensable for this.

After all, if he didn't inform him all the time, they wouldn't be able to fully control the thoughts of the Son of Light.

For a group of profit-seeking people, if they control the other party's thoughts, can the carat in the other party's bag escape?

"Good news, Son of Light wants to buy all the ingredients. It seems that he has finally reacted and plans to stock up." Marquis Caesar smiled. He also has a share in the food business. Although he doesn't earn much, it's not the point to make more or less. , the point is that he finally saw the opportunity to bring down the Holy Son of Light.

"Comprehensive stockpiling? It's a good idea, everyone, do you know what to do?" Ling Feng also smiled. So far, everything has been carried out according to his script, which makes him feel like he is in control of the world. , He likes this feeling very much, and even has an extra thought in his heart, whether to keep the Son of Light to play for a while, but he won't do it.

The biggest difference between him and ordinary people is that he knows how to restrain his nature and what it means to capsize in the gutter!What should be done, what can be done, he is very clear!He, Ling Feng, would never give his enemy any chance to turn around. Although it is inconvenient for Guangming Shengzi to do it directly, he will definitely ruin his reputation, and finally get out of San Diana obediently in desperation.

"Of course, I'll immediately notify my rice store to increase the price by [-]%... No! Just double it!"

"Twice, you are really ruthless! However, the pork shop under me should also increase the price! You have doubled, and my pork has tripled, isn't it too much?"

"Hahaha, you are all nobles of San Diana! There are countless industries under your control, and you are so low-spirited! I am not as greedy as you, and my three times increase is enough!"

"Oh, since everyone has raised the price, I, the vegetable seller, should also cooperate. Five times, whether you like it or not!"

……

Many nobles laughed heartily, if you dare to make big purchases, they should increase the price unscrupulously.

On the side of the City Lord's Mansion, actions soon began.

But the aristocrats moved faster, and the major shops changed their prices as soon as they said they would.

"Hey, what do you mean! Last month, the price of rice was three copper carats. This month, you can raise the price to five copper carats. Why did you increase it again today?"

"Fifteen copper carats a catty, oh my god, why don't you grab it!"

"Boss, you can do it! I only have five silver carats a month, and the whole family is looking at me to eat. You have fifteen copper carats for a catty of rice, you! You are going to kill me!" Forced!"

In front of a certain rice shop, a group of people were making noise, and those people who could barely survive were now full of complaints.

Five silver carats a month, which is considered a relatively high income in San Diana. Of course, this only refers to before Chu Nan arrived.

But even so, it is still unbearable for them to pay a sky-high price of fifteen copper carats per catty of rice.

No matter how economical the whole family is, do they have to eat a catty of rice a day?One month is 450 copper carats, that is, four silver and fifty copper carats, which is only meters!Mi Xing's move is tantamount to forcing everyone to death!
"Whether you like to sell or not, our master said, this is only today's price, tomorrow, thirty copper carats!" In front of Mihang's gate, a fat guy stood, and he shouted arrogantly. His servant, he thinks he is superior to those untouchables, when he speaks, his nostrils are upturned, and he never looks directly at any common people.

"Thirty! My god! You! I'll sue you at the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Yes, tell the Holy Son of Light about this, I don't believe it, the Holy Son of Light can't cure you profiteers!"

Complain?

The fat guy smiled wildly, raised his hand, pointed at Mi Xing with his thumb, and said arrogantly: "You know, even the guy who is the Holy Son of Light has to come to us to buy it." Mi! Whether he can have dinner tomorrow, I have the final say! He will come? Do you expect him to come and clean us up? It’s not bad if he doesn’t kneel down for me!”

Just as the fat young man was spitting and flying around, suddenly, a big hand ruthlessly covered his face.

The fat guy was like a top, spinning 360 degrees on the spot, turning for a while, smacking, fell to the ground, and then spit out a few broken teeth mixed with blood foam.

"Who...who! How dare you hit me!" The fat boy panted heavily, and then went into a rage.But as soon as he uttered those insolent words, that big hand pinched his mouth firmly.

"Hiss! It's the guard of the Son of Light, the Knight of Light, Joseph!"

"Earth-level master, this is an earth-level master!"

Someone exclaimed that the people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they dispersed one after another and hid aside.

At this moment, after seeing the person coming, the fat boy didn't have that kind of arrogance. He forced a smile on the spot, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"How much rice do you have left in the rice shop?" Joseph was so disgusted, he threw him back to the rice shop.

The fat guy hurriedly got up, and he didn't care about the embarrassment, he just wiped the corners of his mouth, nodded and bowed and said, "We still have a pair of Kabaiji!"

As soon as he spoke, not to mention Joseph, even the fat guy was stunned. It turned out that there was a problem with his pronunciation and his pronunciation.

"It's only [-] catties?" Joseph frowned. Fortunately, he had also been the interrogator. At that time, pulling out teeth was a common occurrence. understandable.

"Uh!" The fat boy nodded.

Without asking the price, Joseph took out two gold carats and put them on the table, saying, "I want them all."

One gold carat is equal to [-] copper carats, and the price of ordinary rice is usually only three to five copper carats. Even if the price of that rice rises and sells for twenty copper carats per catty, Joseph's two gold carats are more than enough.

But who would have thought that after putting away the carat, the fat guy didn't go to get the rice, but kept shaking his head and stretched out a hand.

"What do you mean, it's not enough?" Joseph's brows furrowed deeper.

The fat guy nodded, seeing that Joseph still didn't take the money, he just tossed under the counter for a while, then took out a sign, flipped it twice, and handed it to Joseph.

"You!" Joseph's eyes widened, obviously angry.

It turned out that the brand was the rice price brand, and the number of this brand could be dialed. The fat guy manipulated the rice price tag for a sky-high price of [-] copper carats!
What kind of rice can be sold for a sky-high price of fifty copper carats?

Joseph felt that the other party was obviously playing tricks on him, and at the moment when he couldn't help but want to strike, another person suddenly walked out of the rice store. Twisting the waist of the water snake, he said with a smile: "Dear Lord Joseph, the knight of light, don't misunderstand our clerk. He didn't target you. Our rice price is so much, fifty copper carats! You may not know that this year The harvest in various places is not good, and the price of rice will only increase in the future, and will not decrease. If you want it, I advise you to buy it as soon as possible! Of course, if you really think it is expensive, you don’t have to buy it, anyway, there are so many rice , my family is not worried about not being able to sell it!"

Joseph clenched his fists tightly and let out a palpitating creaking sound.

Others don't know, how can he not know?

He and the Holy Son of Light have walked all the way, where is there another famine?
These guys are obviously determined to feed their bright Holy See to feed the people, and they must need rice!
"Stupid guy."

Dou Qi overflows the body surface, and the anger of a master is often accompanied by dire consequences.

The proprietress was shocked and backed away quickly, but just when she thought Joseph was about to make a move, Joseph suddenly lost all his fighting spirit, and coldly took out another seven gold carats, and said coldly: "Take it!" All the rice from your family will be delivered to the City Lord’s Mansion, if there is any mistake, I will destroy your entire family! Hmph!”

The Holy Son of Light once ordered that no matter what, try not to do anything.

Joseph kept in mind the teachings of the Holy Son of Light, so he chose to calm down at the last moment.

The proprietress of Mihang smiled, and her heart sank, but she was replaced by a tricky smile: "Go slowly! Don't worry, I will definitely send it to you!"

The same scene is happening all over San Deana.

Chu Nan's team wandered around, buying and hoarding all kinds of food, almost paying several times, or even ten times the price.

Among them, there is only one exception, and that is Buddy.

This guy, not to mention his glib tongue, his looks are not bad, and he has a deep understanding of human nature.

No, in another rice shop, there was also a charming proprietress, not only did he not pay a high price, but he held the proprietress's hand affectionately: "It's a pity, I still need to act for the light, otherwise... ...Hey! Forget it! Don't talk about this! Buy rice! The person I once loved!"

The enchanting proprietress didn't know what kind of stimulation she had experienced, she blushed, but she lowered her head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "Well, come and write a receipt for Xiao Didi, just write... Wutong Carat it!"

After giving orders, she raised her head and called Buddy affectionately. In addition to reluctance, there was a deep apology in her beautiful eyes. She said, "I'm sorry, little Didi, this is the lowest price I can give. Well, even though I am the proprietress, the price of rice is actually not up to me, but to those nobles, I hope you don't blame..."

Buddy stretched out a finger just right to block her red lips, and then brushed his messy hair with the other hand, showing a sad expression, and said deeply: "I understand , Needless to say, you and I are both involuntary!"

Five copper carats, 25 catties of rice were taken, and a total of one gold and [-] silver carats was spent.

Compared with others, this price is many times lower.

However, there is only one Buddy after all, and no matter how hard he tries to 'negotiate the price', he cannot influence the final price of such a large-scale purchase.

A day goes by quickly.

In a blink of an eye, dusk is approaching.

The rice shops, markets, and shops in San Deana all delivered rice grains as promised.

The quantity was so large that it directly filled the granary of the City Lord's Mansion.

But, that's all.

Looking at the full granary and inspecting the fresh livestock, Chu Nan shook his head pessimistically: "Not enough, not enough!"

At this time, Marquis Caesar had already returned. How could he miss such a good show?
He came up to Chu Nan and said intentionally: "It's not bad, 20 gold carats, with so many things bought, it's enough to support [-] people for about [-] days."

"But what about 20 days later?" Chu Nan gritted his teeth, expressing incomparable sadness.

"In 20 days... maybe the food price will be better?" Marquis Caesar smiled in his heart, but his face was also pretending to be helpless.

"I hope so! I still have a carat, which should be enough to last!" Chu Nan suddenly changed his face, the contrast between the front and the back was so great that Marquis Caesar was dumbfounded.

What, you still have Carat?
However, in just a moment, he recovered his calm face and said, "Since there are still carats, why don't you continue to buy them? You know, everyone is saying that the price of food will rise, it doesn't look like a fake. "

"Why do you say? It's too expensive." Chu Nan shook his head, deliberately walked up to the [-] catties of rice that Joseph bought at a sky-high price, patted the bag of rice, and said, "You know, each catty of these rice is as high as fifty Bronze carat, although I, Chu Wuqing, still have carat, but I'm not a fool, it's not that easy to mess with me."

"This..." Marquis Caesar had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, but his nervous expression was not feigned.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it too. As long as they stick to this batch of grain, they won't be able to cause any trouble. It's more than 20 days! It's enough to save a month! I won't buy rice from those nobles for a month. Liang, who is more panicked when I see it!" Chu Nan showed a confident smile.

Hearing this, Marquis Caesar finally breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, he almost thought that the Son of Light had discovered his problem.

At this moment, he was only sneering in his heart.

a month?You can persist for a month. According to common sense, if you don't have any income for a month, those rice shops controlled by nobles should really panic.

It's a pity, you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't say these words in front of him, Marquis Caesar!
"Dear Son of Light, what's next?" Caesar thought for a while, and then asked from the side. Although he had already figured out the Son of Light, he always felt a little uneasy.

"Next, continue to build! I hope the people can understand. As long as I persist for a month or so, when the price recovers and everything gets better, I will naturally have a way to pay back." Chu Nan nodded without hiding anything.

Marquis Caesar couldn't hear anything wrong with what he said.

So, Marquis Caesar nodded and said, "This subordinate understands that I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I will go down first."

Chu Nan nodded, and said with a smile, "Go, thank you, Caesar! If it weren't for your help in the city, I really don't know what to do with some things."

Marquis Caesar laughed, do you really think that Caesar will run errands for you?Of course, he would not say these words, he just nodded and said: "Dear Son of Light, it is the gift of God of Light to be able to do things for you!"

If the words fall, people go.

When he walked away, Catherine walked over with Qing Qiong in her arms. She looked at Caesar's back and frowned.

"Mr. Chu, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"You have been with me for so long, there is nothing you can't say!"

Chu Nan smiled brightly. To outsiders, he habitually put on that disguised mask, but to Catherine, Qing Qiong and the others, Chu Nan never wanted to deceive, and always treated each other with sincerity.

"Hmm." Catherine felt warm, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chu, don't you think there is something wrong with the Marquis Caesar?"

so sensitive?

Chu Nan smiled, and his eyes shone brightly. When meeting Catherine for the first time, Chu Nan felt that she was in a daze and couldn't even tell her own identity.

But after getting along for so long, Chu Nan had to admit that this beautiful woman from the winged race was not as naive and silly as he thought.

On the contrary, Catherine is still a very good helper, but it's a pity that Chu Nan couldn't let go of so many women in his heart, otherwise, maybe he really had the idea to accept her...

"Tell me." When he regained his senses, Chu Nan smiled. He wanted to know how much Catherine had guessed correctly.

"Mr. Chu, look! The Marquis of Caesar, although he is apparently dealing with government affairs every day, in fact, we have never been less involved in government affairs! Moreover, most of the time, we are doing things, he He suddenly disappeared, so I have reason to doubt whether he has some ulterior secrets with other people."

Catherine analyzed seriously, Chu Nan nodded with a smile, and said, "Continue."

"Okay! Mr. Chu, I also found another problem, that is, many maids and ordinary people are saying that Marquis Caesar once had an affair with that guy named Ling Feng, who is Ling Feng? Although I don't quite understand, But I also know that he seems to be the head of the nobility."

"I have had dealings with such a guy, and before we came, Marquis Caesar was the real city lord of San Diana! How could they be willing to give up such a big right?"

There is nothing wrong with Catherine's analysis, but it is still too conservative.

Chu Nan reminded with a smile: "Let me add, Marquis Caesar is treacherous and cunning, and he is respectful on the surface, but in fact he keeps making small moves secretly?"

Catherine nodded, and hurriedly said: "Yes, that's it! He has something to do with Ling Feng in all likelihood, maybe he is responsible for the food price increase this time!"

Very good, very good, to be able to think of this is considered a talent.

Chu Nan nodded, no longer hiding anything, and said, "Actually, I know everything you said!"

Catherine was dumbfounded, and asked, "Since you know all about it, why do you still..."

For his companions, Chu Nan never hides anything. He just smiled confidently and said, "This is their game, and it's also my game. San Diana's future belongs to us. It depends on who has the best skills!"
