Chapter 175: Star Territory Turmoil
"What's going on?" Nangong Yue asked. He didn't understand why he cursed the gods they worshiped.
"Because of hunger, there is not enough food." Liu Ya replied.
"But isn't this the star area of the main production area of grain? Why is there not enough food?" Nangong Yue looked at the star area written on the city tower and asked. He remembered that the sand table in Longxuan marked this as the main production area of grain.
"This is indeed the main producing area of grain, but... most of the food needs to be paid, so people naturally don't have enough food," Liu Ya explained.
"So go steal? Go rob?" Nangong Yue asked, pointing to the shouts that were about to ring from time to time in the city.
After the food was distributed, stealing and robbing occurred everywhere, and their target was only those little pitiful food.
Nangong Yue jumped off the top of the city, grabbed a thief who was robbing with a knife, and took him to the top of the city.
"Why do you want to steal?" Nangong Yue pressed him to the ground and asked.
"I can't survive anymore! What can I do? My son hasn't eaten anything for three days, he has no food, and there is no bark or grass roots outside the city! He has been eaten up!" The man shouted, struggling under Nangong Yue, "Kill me! I can't survive anyway!"
"Isn't there still the God you believe in? Isn't there any food to be distributed?" Nangong asked, letting go of him.
"Food was taken away by his church! God is a bastard! They are all accomplices!"
"Take him away!" Liu Ya ordered, and the accompanying guards took him away, and he was still cursing there.
Nangong Yue was waiting for Liu Ya's explanation until night fell, and Liuhua spoke again, "I agreed with Long Xuan to hand over most of the grain produced to him, and I will manage it here, and I have achieved no tyranny to rule. I packaged him as a god. The grain is his offering, but... it still doesn't work. There are more and more people, but there are only so many arable land, and people are starting to starve to death."
"People don't want to hand over the food. They hide the food. If the food cannot be collected, the demon locust plague came. Because after the deadline stipulated by Longxuan, the demon locusts can not only eat plants, but also eat people. In an instant, they are eaten by only bones left."
"People are scared, and when they hand over the food, the demon locust leaves, and the famine is solved, because there are too many people who die, and the remaining food is enough to eat. Without natural disasters and man-made disasters, the population is growing rapidly, and more people will starve to death without control. This is a cycle. The famine has broken out and there are already many people who die, but it is still not enough."
Liu Ya cried out, tears wet her cheeks. She pointed at Nangong Yue and cursed, "I don't want to be like this! But I can't do it! What can I do? It's all this damn world! If it weren't for you, how could this world become like this!"
"Sir, it's time to take refuge, and the rebellion is about to begin." The guard reminded.
"I'm tired, and death is also a relief. Let me stay here." Liu Ya pointed to Nangong Yue and added, "Take him away. He is Long Xuan's man, so there can't be any trouble."
"When I came, Long Xuan asked me to say hello to you. Although he didn't admit it, he really treated you as a friend. He missed you very much and wanted to meet you very much." Nangong Yue replied.
"No need, you leave." Liu Ya stood at the top of the city and refused to leave, and the guards did not dare to force her to take her away.
"Sir, please leave first, we will protect Lord Liu Ya's safety." Someone advised.
