On the first day of December, snowflakes began to float over the capital of the Gefula Empire.

In fact, it should have snowed a long time ago, but although the air was very humid and cold some time ago, there was no opportunity for snow to fall.

Without dark clouds, there would be no snowflakes!

This time the snowflakes finally fell down, and on the front page header of the newspaper at the corner of the table, it was written that the temperature of the imperial capital today is minus eight degrees!

This climate is rare in Gevlar. In previous years, it was only until the end of December that it was so cold, but now it is only the beginning of December.

Since last winter, everything has become a little different.

It can heat to death in summer and freeze to death in winter.

An ordinary worker put on a thick winter coat and prepared to leave after kissing his wife and daughter. When his wife sent him away, she hoped that he could pass by the supermarket at night after get off work and bring some food back.

The man glanced at the newspaper on the corner of the table. On the front page of the newsletter, he noticed the newsletter "Ensure Food Supply with All Your Strength".

He nodded and said yes, and left the comfort of his home.

As soon as he left the house, the cold wind outside the door was like a knife cutting his face. He folded his hands in his sleeves and grasped the sleeves from the inside to prevent it from ventilating.

Head down and move forward against the cold wind.

In fact, his mood is not as bad as the weather, and the snow-white snowflakes make the whole world look extraordinarily clean.

Every foot stepped on the snow, in addition to making a "creaking" sound, it will also leave a series of footprints.

He glanced back, and the footprints in the distance were covered by new snowflakes, and only a string at close range was slightly clear.

Most of the pedestrians on the road are like this, and the cars on the road have also become slow. The heavy snow is like pressing the slow button of this world.

A group of motorcades passed by him, looking at the frozen flags on both sides of the headlights of the leading car. There is no doubt that this is a noble motorcade.

The man turned his head and looked into the car. Behind the transparent glass are two nobles wearing very "slim" clothes. They were not affected by the cold of this world at all, and they chatted easily with smiles on their faces.

"This is the nobleman!" The man sighed and watched the convoy go away.

In fact, he doesn't need to complain about anything. Today's life is much better than in the past. It is said that after seeing aristocrats before, as long as they are civilians, they must stop their workstations and bow their heads by the side of the road.

Now no one will ask him to do that. He can still not say hello to the nobles. This has changed a lot.

He walked for almost forty minutes and finally came to the factory.

In fact, he can take a car, but... Recently, the price of various materials has risen rapidly, and the money for the car is indeed not much. It may save a little while saving a little. After all, it is not a bad thing.

Moreover, walking helps to keep the body healthy and warms the body. Doctors recommend that people be more active...

He found a suitable reason for not taking a car. Everyone will have magnificent dreams, but it is a pity that poverty is always a ruthless fist that breaks dreams.

He came to the factory and started to work. The factory did not provide heating. The reason was that the workshop was ventilated and the heating could not heat up effectively, so they still wore thick winter clothes to work.

Finally, the man’s face has a little more smile, he will chat with the workers while working, but the happy time is always short.

After talking about some fresh topics, everyone started to work silently as if they had agreed.

There was no smile on his face, only numbness, he couldn't even feel his face!

At one o'clock in the noon, everyone gets a 30-minute break. They can eat lunch, take a break, and return to their busy work.

In fact, a half-hour break is not enough. The workers of Gevlar have also made trouble several times, but in the end nothing can be changed.

They stopped working as capitalists, and they did cause a lot of trouble to the capitalists, but it was only a trouble.

You must know that capitalists also serve the nobles. When the nobles feel unhappy, the police will arrest the workers or organizations that take the lead in the strike.

This is not a federation, and there is no free soil, so everyone abides by a rule that is not linear.

I had a somewhat cold lunch at noon. The factory provided it for free. The taste was not good or not, it was just edible.

The work in the afternoon was still heavy, and the roar of the machines in the workshop gradually stopped until the man worked until about 6:45 in the evening.

People began to pack their tools and then left.

Thinking of what his wife had asked him to do, he and a few workers who often went home together said goodbye at the corner of a street and went to the supermarket alone.

There were still not many people on the road. It was a little more than seven o'clock, and the sky was already dark. He speeded up, and when he approached the supermarket with his head down, he found that the supermarket today was exceptionally lively.

A lot of people, a lot of people, he followed the gathering crowd into the supermarket in a daze.

Then he saw the counter selling food and formed a long line.

"What happened?" He walked to the back of the line, looked at the person in front of him who was dressed up like himself, and asked in a friendly way.

The person in front seems to know something, "Those things are now available in limited quantities, and there is a limit to what everyone can buy."

The man was a little surprised, "Why do you want to do this?"

The man standing in front of him was silent for a while, "Probably because there is not enough stuff!"

The man who originally wanted to go back if he couldn't do it, gave up this idea.

After more than half an hour, it was his turn.

"Everyone can only buy two pounds of wheat flour, two pounds of bread, five pounds of potatoes, and one pound of beef. What do you want?" the tall teller asked the man.

Of course, being aloof is not his position, not his tone, but he does stand at a higher position, which is designed for the convenience of tellers.

When people need something, they just need to move it to their feet, and people outside the counter can get it.

If they are standing at the same height as the guests outside the counter and constantly lifting heavy objects, they will soon be unable to continue working.

The man didn't understand, "Is there an unlimited supply of vegetables?"

He was going to buy some vegetables, the teller shook his head, "We don't supply vegetables..."

The weather is too cold, the growth cycle of vegetables becomes particularly slow, not to mention, it is easy to freeze to death at night.

The few vegetables are used to supply the nobles, the price is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, it is better not to supply.

The man spent money to buy everything he could buy. In fact, these foods were not enough to support his family's food for three days, and the price of these things increased by about 10% from last month, which made him very worried.

Because while queuing in the supermarket, he heard people say that prices may continue to rise.

After returning home, he told his wife these things and asked his wife to reduce the supply of the family.

The wife was a little embarrassed, but finally agreed.

At dinner, the daughter looked at the few pieces of beef on his father's plate and was very greedy.

She looked at her mother eagerly, who could only pretend not to see her cruelly.

Outside the window, the cold wind is still lingering, the entire imperial capital, the entire Gevlar, and many families are like this.

Suddenly it seemed that there was not enough food in the world. Gevlar, who had never had this situation before, made many people wonder what to do.

"Not enough food?"

"There is not enough food!"

The Prime Minister’s head hurts because there is not enough food.

In fact, after the weather suddenly became extremely cold last winter, he realized that he needed to store more food this winter. He did the same and imported a lot of food.

Gefola is an island country with limited agricultural and pastoral land. In the early years, the nobles were enclosing land everywhere. Many of the land that was clearly suitable for farming was the private territory of the nobles.

The nobles would certainly not cultivate and graze. These lands were abandoned. Even if the winter was not in the extremely cold past as it is now, Gafra's food mainly relied on imports.

It’s just that there are more imports now, but I don’t know where it came from. Gafra has no food, so people started looting.

Some grain merchants have also begun to raise prices. The extent of the price increase does not seem to be very conspicuous. The highest price is only 15%, but this is food!

This is nothing else, not an expensive luxury, a 15% increase is enough to make many families hungry!

The Prime Minister interviewed a group of grain merchants, and a limited supply appeared.

They no longer let go of supply to the people, but began to supply in limited quantities, and under the precondition of ensuring that the price increase does not exceed 10%, the supply is limited.

This makes those rumors more and more terrifying!

Someone reined in the food bag, which means that the current food supply has become a problem, and the Prime Minister must solve this problem.

Otherwise, he can only face two choices.

First, people always live in a food shortage environment, which is likely to cause more terrible social problems and phenomena, unless the Prime Minister compromises with these people and allows food prices to float freely.

The second option is that once he agrees to the free fluctuation of food prices, more people will not be able to afford food!

When many people face these harsh problems, they often choose to go hungry, which will only make the country worse and worse~lightnovelpub.net~ Now the best way is to use the emergency budget of the national treasury to purchase one from the outside. To approve food, first solve the current problems, and then start to consider the follow-up matters.

He is not alone in the room, there are others.

The official in charge of agriculture and animal husbandry at this time seemed to be talking to himself softly, and then said something like a reminder.

"Your Excellency, unless the nobles are resolved, the price of food will never come down!"

In the power-based Gafra, many things have rules, at least capitalists cannot use money to interfere with politics on the island.

Those nobles are much richer than the capitalists, especially those big nobles, who are always searching for wealth that has been passed down for hundreds of years are definitely not comparable to a young man who took a hundred dollars into the stock market and suddenly became rich!

The nobles did not agree with the price increase of food, and the capitalists did not dare to increase the price of food.

Behind this incident, the nobles are still at work!
