Chapter 187 186. Communication
"We can assume that Yidong, if he is the Waxas spy leader lurking on Kumu Island, has a large number of human legs, and possesses huge treasures, what should he do to most effectively intensify the conflict?"
"Crime! Causing chaos in the town!" Fili replied.
"Yes, there is no lack of low-level chaos in the town, and the police from the Public Security Department can solve it." Mr. Jialan shook his head.
"Hire the killers and attack the officials!" Fili thought of another idea.
"No, no, it won't work. Hired killers can't stand up to the investigation. The Amethyst family's root system is intricate and spreads throughout the Amethyst Islands. It's easy to find the culprit behind the scenes."
"Create public opinion and put pressure on the Amethyst family."
"Well, public opinion is an invisible weapon that comes from nowhere and is unpredictable. This method can make Richard miserable, but it is not enough to crush them."
"Um...then what will you do, sir?"
Jialan stood up and said:
"If the trade routes are blocked, then they will settle down to raise prices and disrupt the market; if the people are in turmoil, then they will distribute supplies to win over people's hearts and establish power; if the officials are corrupt, then they will use money to open roads, insert people's legs, and control power; rumors
If it fills the sky, it will add fuel to the flames, confuse black and red, and destroy trust.
With such a four-pronged approach, it won’t take long before the millennium foundation of the Amethyst family will be destroyed!”
Looking at the high-spirited Jialan, Feili wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and even went to remind him, "Sir, don't forget that you are also a genuine amethyst baron noble, and you just paid compensation to the Grand Duke not long ago.
."
"No, how can there be a complete egg in the East? Besides, his eldest brother Rommel is already dead."
Jia Lan walked back to her seat. When she learned the news of Rommel's death, the old grudges associated with her original body had disappeared. If the Amethyst family of Ru Ming had any concerns, there would be Qingmei Ti in her youth.
Nice.
"I haven't received a letter from her for a long time. If I have a chance, I can help him inquire about Tynis."
"He had friends on Diamond Island. After he returned, he immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to help him contact them."
"Well, keep an eye on the outside world's trends and notify him of any new news in a timely manner."
Jialan ordered.
Between the islands divided by the vast sea area, message transmission is extremely limited, and communication can almost rely on sea ships sailing in various places.
If you want to know what happened on Kumu Island and other islands, you can send it through Feili or Hazen.
In order to prevent Sunless Island from being disconnected from the outside world, every time the two of them returned to Jialan, they would be summoned to talk to them about recent events.
Just like that, confinement lasted smoothly until mid-May.
On that ordinary day, Jialan once again summoned Hasen and Fili, who had just returned, and communicated with them.
Hazen brought news about commodity prices. During that time, he ensured the supply of goods in the trading market and traveled almost all over the Crystal Islands.
"The price of daily necessities has almost doubled, especially wheat. It has almost reached the point where there is no market for it. Fortunately, we have a big canteen in Jiguang Town, so we don't have to compete with them for food."
"The rush to buy food is normal. After all, ordinary residents don't have much food stored in their homes. No one knows how long the route will be blocked. So for the sake of safety, they will of course choose to use their savings to purchase food."
Feili followed Jialan and echoed: "Your Majesty is wrong. At that time, most of the residents were fine, but it was hard for the poor who were already struggling to survive. There were more and more robberies and thefts every day.
You can see the clues.”
"In that case, let's bring more poor people here. There is a lot of land to the north of the port. He plans to build a new village there to open up new farmland in remote areas."
"That's great! Isn't the territory so strong? He is sure that after the rainy season, if the shipping route issue is not resolved, the food supply will increase again!"
Hassen said immediately.
"That's right. After the rainy season, it's time for the autumn harvest, so it should fall." Feili held the opposite opinion.
"No, it will definitely fall for a while when it first comes out. The food output of the Amethyst Islands is not high, and a lot of arable land is used to grow sugar cane, a cash crop. He knows very well whether the Amethyst family can make a fortune from that stuff.
At present, many people are not aware of the seriousness of the matter, or they do not take such a long-term view. When after the autumn harvest, people find that the harvested food will not be harvested until winter, then will the real leap come to an end!"
Hazen's prediction shocked the two of them.
If something like that really happened, Richard, the head of the Amethyst family, would never just wait to die.
"Before the crisis occurs, gather as many poor people as possible. He will arrange for Myron to build wooden houses at the dock for the new immigrants to live in."
"Don't worry, sir. Just beg for those who stutter. Those poor people are destined to die."
"Well, Fili, where am I? Is there any news about Tinis?"
"He is asking to report to you. A friend from Diamond Island wrote back and said that Tinis went to sea with a merchant ship and has not returned to Diamond Island recently. I don't know the specific whereabouts of Bu Nai."
"Oops, maybe they were detained by people from the Red Coral Family." Jialan couldn't help but think about the worst.
"I'm not sure. I don't rule out that Coco. He will contact there regularly. He will report to you as soon as there is new information."
That's it. The current situation in the outside world is complicated, and Wuguang Island is located between the Crystal Islands and the Coral Islands. Its geographical location is very awkward. If the two families really start to work together, Wuguang Island will be a battleground for military strategists.
Just when the exchange of information was almost complete, someone outside the castle asked to see him. Through Xiaoying's report, he found out that the person coming was Mai Beer.
"Let him come."
"No sir."
After a while, Xiaoying led the wheat beer and walked on the second floor of the castle.
"I have seen the wheat beer, Lord. The first batch of beer in the brewery has been fermented. I would like to invite you to taste it and see if the taste needs improvement."
"Oh! Has the finished product been produced?"
Jialan's face looked happy, and she calculated that the time was almost up.
"Well, Hassenfili, we drank more wine than water outside. Let's go together and listen to our opinions."
“Haha! It’s great to have free beer!”
"Now that the beer has been brewed, the pub can be opened."
The two of them were more excited than Jialan. After all, the tavern was the first leisure and entertainment venue on Wuguang Island. If you wanted to drink, you didn't have to go to Kumu Island.
"Part of the beer in Crystal Islands comes from Snake Island. Baron Viper added local specialty snake fruit in the brewing process, and the brewed wine is slightly sour and sweet. He made a lot of money from that business;
A large part of it comes from the Thunder Mountain Islands of the dwarves, where black wheat is abundant, and the rich-tasting rye beer can be sold at a higher price than ordinary wheat beer."
Before they even arrived at the brewery, Fili had already started giving instructions on the various beers.
Chapter completed!
