Chapter 271 Economic Sanctions Begin to Show Their Power

After sending out the newly made big-mouthed dogs, Chi Nan entered the experiment again. What Chi Nan didn't expect was that the big-mouthed dogs would soon become a meritorious service, because few normal people would come out at night.

Most of those who were still running around outside in the middle of the night had problems, especially those near some important departments.

These people didn't know that the territory had added big-mouthed dogs. These guys who thought they were hiding very well habitually ran out for reconnaissance, but this time they couldn't escape and were caught one by one.

Moreover, the terrifying bite force of the big-mouthed dogs also surprised all the soldiers. With one bite, the sharp and dense teeth would bite off the bones of people on the spot, and it would be a bloody mess, which was difficult to treat.

If this kind of wound cannot stop bleeding in time, just bleeding will kill them. The big-mouthed dog is not a plant that doesn't eat. The instructions given to him by the lord said that the big-mouthed dog can provide what it needs by eating soil or plants and meat. It should be exposed to the sun more often. This is a mixture of carnivorous plants and ordinary plants.

No need to take root, it is easier to raise. If you are too lazy, just let them eat the soil and photosynthesize.

Chi Nan reads the report every day and watches the changes in Huangshaling next door. After just a few days, Chi Nan smiled, because everything was going according to his plan, and there was almost no difference.

In Huangshaling, those people didn't feel any changes at first, but a few days later, the prices in Huangshaling began to rise wildly, and later there was a situation where money couldn't buy things.

On this day, Farah, who didn't feel anything at first, was looking at the report and preparing to eat. But as soon as he saw the food served, Farah was furious and slammed the table: "Who made this, what are these things. Where is the white bread I want, why did you give me black bread."

The so-called white bread is made of flour, and black bread is made from black grain flour in the past. Now, the nobles have automatically classified black bread as civilian food, not what they eat.

After taking a bite of the meat, Farah became even more angry: "And this barbecue, why is the taste so bland? Why is there no seasoning? Does the chef not want to work anymore?" Farah was so angry that he didn't even have the mood to eat.

Hogarth hurried over: "Lord, it's not that the chef doesn't cook well, but because we have no flour in our territory, and the remaining seasonings may not last for a few days."

"What's the matter? If you don't have it, go buy it. Why don't you buy it? Tell me."

Farah was angry, but Hogarth couldn't help but say it. Speaking of which, he only found out that something was wrong this morning. "Sir, I found a problem in our territory this morning, so I investigated it for a day."

"What did you find? Did someone rob the goods in our territory?"

Hogarth looked helpless: "Sir, do you still remember the sanctions issued by Hongshaling?"

"Of course I know, isn't it just raising taxes? What's the matter? Do we have nothing because of this?"

Hogarth nodded vigorously: "That's why we collect taxes in our territory, not on our own caravans, and we only collect them once. Although the merchants make less money, they still make some money. Some people who secretly evade taxes and smuggle are often seen. But after the economic sanctions, all the roads around us were surrounded."

"All people, whether they come in or go out, have to collect taxes, including our own caravans. As a result, the merchants couldn't make money and finally left. Since the economic sanctions began, there have been no people coming and going from the outside caravans."

"Then what about our own caravans? Can't they buy anything?" Farah was still very angry.

"Of course, but the tax collection will make our caravan lose money every time it moves. In order to make money, the prices in our territory are getting higher and higher, and the civilians can no longer support it."

Fara said angrily: "What does the life and death of civilians have to do with me? If they can't support it, just die."

Hogarth sighed: "But sir, the civilians can't support it. They have no way to survive and won't work well. Recently, some civilians are preparing for a huge protest, but they were suppressed."

"What? They still dare to protest. These damned untouchables want to die, right? Forget about it, go buy me some flour first. It doesn't matter if it's expensive." Farah didn't care at all.

"But sir, our miners have been passive these days. Although there are gold mines, our gold is almost used up." Gold is not a gold coin, but it can also be used as a gold coin for internal circulation after conversion.

"These damned untouchables, I will deal with them. No matter what, go buy me some flour first, I can't eat this kind of thing." Farah is most concerned about his own food problem.

Hogarth smiled bitterly: "But sir, Hongshaling has banned us from selling any goods, and the road to Hongshaling has been blocked by them. If you want to buy flour, you have to go to other nobles' territories, which is a big detour. And because of us, there is no guarantee of safety no matter which territory we pass through."

"Those nobles not only charge us tariffs, but sometimes they also keep our goods and even people. It's useless even if we say we are a caravan from Huangshaling."

"What did you say? These damn bastards, when they needed me, they put forward all kinds of conditions. Now they start to attack me. What do they want to do? Are they crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"

Hogarth did not speak, but sighed. After all, their agreement was only private, but the business alliance was open. Once the economic sanctions are launched, all territories will be sanctioned at the same time.

After going out for a walk, even the goods shipped back will have a price increase of more than ten times, and it is not certain whether they can make money. Merchants are unwilling to do this kind of trading, and others are even more unwilling.

"There is another thing, Lord, many people in our caravan have already escaped. When we found out, there were less than one-third of our caravan people left, and even the caravan was about to fail."

Fara was even more annoyed. Who would have thought that a mere economic sanction would turn his territory into this. "Where is the army? Where is our army? Let the army go out, I want to see who dares to collect taxes." Farah said in a panic.
