Guo Twelve was carrying a large bowl of broth and ate steamed buns while drinking. He asked, "Aunt Lan, how much money do we have?"
Aunt Lan and Aunt Xin discussed a few words, because they are the two housekeepers, and the money is also in charge. Aunt Lan said: "Now there are more than 4,000 talisman money on hand."
Guo Shishi said: "From tomorrow, all the money will be used to buy food, and don't keep it at all. Little Leopard, go and replace all the quest rewards we got with food tomorrow, and don't want anything else."
"The meat that was exchanged is all marinated and put in the storage room, where it is not easy to spoil. Buy a little more flour."
Aunt Lan said in surprise: "Twelve, why do you buy such food? Four thousand Talismans can buy... er, you can buy a lot of food... Why do you need so much food?"
Guo Twelve smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Lan, you know that Savage Pass has fallen, right?"
Aunt Lan nodded and said, "The Savage Pass is lost... But we are in the inner gate. It should be very safe here. Hey, Twelve, what does the loss of Savage Pass have to do with buying food?"
Guo Shishi said: "The savage pass is lost, which means that the savage has entered the pass, and Ye Guancheng can't hold it, and the savage will definitely attack here. Of course, with the strong strength of Beifumen, I believe that the final victory will be won. It must be Beifumen, but... if the savages come here, they will cut off the supply line. If the time is short, there will be no problem. If the time is long... then food will definitely be the most scarce thing."
"If we are not prepared now, we may be hungry by then."
Aunt Lan looked at Guo Shishi in disbelief, is this a nine-year-old child? Think so thoughtfully. The reasoning is simple, but who would buy food and store it up if it wasn't thought of. She said, "Twelve, you are amazing. Aunt Lan will go buy it tomorrow."
Guo Twelve said: "Aunt Lan, be careful when buying food, try not to attract other people's attention, and don't advertise it everywhere, it will cause panic. Don't buy too much at one time, buy in small batches, and buy in multiple locations." He I have experienced a great famine in my previous life, and I know what it means to be unreasonable every day, and what it is to call the earth and the ground. I still shudder when I think about it now. He didn't want to experience it again.
Huo Bao's four children didn't understand what Guo Shishi said at all, but they could understand it when they exchanged task rewards for food. They just need to execute the order. As for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Guo Twelve needs to find a way.
The next day, Guo Twelve took a carriage and was escorted by Luo Zhan to the master Luo Jie's manor.
Luo Jie had already learned about Guo Twelve's performance in Ye Guancheng, and he was very satisfied. In particular, Guo Twelve killed two savages, which made him extremely happy. After seeing Guo Twelve, he seemed very happy.
Unexpectedly, Guo Twelve saw Luo Jie's first sentence, which made the old man speechless. He said: "Master, I almost won't be able to come back, I won't see your old man! Alas, I was only nine years old when I fought with savages... Isn't it too exaggerated?" The treasure talisman, let me escape, hehe, master, do you still have the treasure talisman? Give the disciple a few more pieces." This flattery made Luo Jie very happy.
Luo Jie laughed loudly and said, "Haha, as expected of my apprentice! As for the treasure talisman... You are still too young to control so many talismans. Let's talk about it later."
Guo Twelve knew the preciousness of the treasure talisman, he just made an excuse and said, "Master, I have no money..."
The most important thing Luo Jie lacks is money, and he said indifferently: "How much you want, go to Hu Bo to take it yourself. Come, tell me about Ye Guancheng."
Guo Twelve smiled bitterly: "Master, I want a lot of money!"
Luo Jie said: "Uh, how much do you want? Hey, get as much as you want!" He didn't care at all. As a great spell master, his assets were in the forefront of the North Fumen Gate, and Guo Twelve It is his favorite apprentice, the little guy wants to spend money, of course he will not be stingy.
Guo Twelve was helpless and said, "Master, why don't you ask me why I want money?"
Luo Jie asked, "Why do you want money?"
Guo Twelve said simply: "Buy food."
Luo Jie is not Aunt Lan, he understood after a little thought, and said in surprise, "You mean... North Fumen is facing a food crisis?"
Guo Shishi nodded vigorously and said, "If there is no absolutely safe logistics supply line, I think... there will be not enough food."
Luo Jie asked, "So you want to stock up on food?"
Guo Shishi sighed: "If it's just me, it doesn't matter, but I have a group of people to support, so I have to plan ahead."
Soon, Luo Jie reacted, and he wondered: "Are you reminding me in the name of... borrowing money?"
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "I didn't remind me, it was the master who thought of it himself."
Luo Jie was secretly grateful. He was not hypocritical, and immediately called the housekeeper and began to secretly store food. You must know that his family has a big business and a large population. Once there is a shortage of food, there will be no money and nowhere to buy it. Do you want to let this old man go hunting? That doesn't solve the problem either.
"Twelve, you go to Uncle Huber to get money, and then talk when you're done."
Guo Shishi didn't take too much. He took 10,000 talismans, and he was afraid that he couldn't pay it back. Moreover, even if he could get 100,000 talismans, he couldn't buy that much food, so the 10,000 talisman Talisman money is the limit.
He hurried home with the money. With money, everything is easy to do, and everyone in the family goes out to buy food. The truckloads of grain and meat were brought back. Aunt Lan instructed her subordinates to marinate the meat and carry the flour into the storage room. The so-called storage room is a room made of Tibetan symbols, which can store a large number of items.
The purchasing power of 10,000 Talisman money is very scary, and it took three days to spend so much money. At this time, food prices have begun to rise. Before everyone could react, food began to be in short supply on a large scale, and the price rose three times a day, because the savages had already reached Beifu City, which is the city where Beifumen headquarters is located.
The panic buying intensified, and Beifumen quickly took measures to control the distribution of food. All food vendors are controlled, and all food is purchased and rationed as needed.
Guo Twelve returned to practice.
Aunt Lan and Aunt Xin sighed in their hearts, this kid Twelve is a god, how could he be so accurate. All the restaurants on the street are closed, and all the shops selling food are also closed. Now it is not a problem of price increases, there is simply no food to sell.
When the food allocated to the apprentices was handed out, Aunt Lan found that the food was half less than before, and when receiving it, she also gave a special notice to ask them to save food as much as possible, because the next time the amount distributed may be less.
There are some clever people who spontaneously organize people to go hunting in the back mountain to make up for the lack of food.
People's hearts began to feel a little unstable, but Beifumen was strong enough, and it also stored a lot of food, but it is not suitable to distribute food at present, because no one can be sure when the supply line will be restored. Therefore, the rationing system must be implemented, which is the only choice for Beifumen.
Guo Twelve no longer cared about the food issue, he just concentrated on his cultivation. Huo Bao and others also went to the training hall on time to exercise and learn the skills of Fu warriors. As for the task of defending Beifu City, it is not the matter of their apprentices.
…
After more than a month, the situation in Beifumen gradually stabilized. Although there are still a large number of savages staying in the wild, there are fewer and fewer savages directly attacking Beifu City. After all, Beifumen's force is powerful. After beheading hundreds of savages, those savages are also a little bit afraid.
Due to the large number of wildlings stranded in the wild, the supply line was completely cut off. Although the forced transportation of personnel was organized, the loss was shocking. Beifumen had to order and send a large number of teams to hunt savages out of the city. Any team that went out to hunt can receive sufficient food.
The lack of food made the Fu warriors who ate like tigers and wolves very dissatisfied, and they were already starving and dizzy. Therefore, as soon as this task came out, it immediately attracted a large number of Fu warriors. Attracted by the food, a large number of Fu warriors went out of the city to participate in the battle of hunting the savages.
On this day, Guo Twelve found the Fudan Pavilion in Fushitang, and he wanted to buy the cultivated Tibetan talisman. This time a talisman followed him. Luo Zhan has gone back to accept the task. He is a martial artist, and he is the backbone of the North Fumen. There are many things that must be done by them.
The talisman warrior who followed Guo Twelve was named Zhang Dakui. His strength was very good. After a while, he could use the bone talisman to train his body, and then he could become a talisman martial artist.
"Uncle Zhang, when you go back in the afternoon, go to Aunt Lan and bring you some food to take home."
Zhang Dakui's home is in Beifucheng. He has an eldest wife, a small wife, and four children. With his income, he is living a good life, but in the current situation, there is not enough food at home. . Thanks to listening to Guo Shishi's words, he hoarded a lot of food, otherwise he would have run out of food long ago.
"Twelve, thank you."
The food he has been allocated is only enough for himself, but he has six mouths at home, so he has long been worried about how to eat enough.
Fudan Pavilion is a branch of Fushitang, which has an internal trading area, which mainly sells various Fudan. Guo Twelve walked in only to find out that there are many more people here today.
Soon Guo Twelve discovered a strange phenomenon. Many people were carrying Tibetan Talisman bags in their hands, sneaking and not knowing what they were doing.
At this time, a man quietly came to him and whispered: "Come here... come with me... "
Guo Twelve said inexplicably: "Go with you? What's the matter?"
The man took out a talisman bag, flashed it in front of Guo Twelve, and said, "Let's talk over there." The man had the identity talisman of an inner disciple on his chest. Guo Shishi was curious, followed him to the side, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
