Chapter 376 Memories of the Past: Hero's Heart, Lion's Heart 5

After leaving the Royal Academy of Knights, Levi returned to his hometown, a village in the middle of the kingdom, where he inherited his father's power and family property and became the owner of this area. Then, he also married Elizabeth and became a husband. At that time, he was only 18 years old. It's just years old.

Levy, who was young, took on huge responsibilities that he had never imagined. Although Levi worked very hard to repair their family, the relationship with the people of the villages and towns, resolve the disputes and grievances of the former people, and wanted to turn this area back to the peaceful countryside.

However, the scars of the past will not be healed so easily. In the past, Levi's father's high-handed behavior has made Levi's family's reputation notorious. Even if Levi works harder and acts very friendly, those people do not have a good impression on Levi.

This is a very difficult road, but Levi will not be discouraged. He understands that as long as he continues to treat people with sincerity, one day his kindness will be accepted by the people.

Every day, Levi drags his tired body back home. Although he is under a lot of pressure outside, only in this home, he keeps a relaxed smile, just to not want to worry about his favorite people.

Now, Elizabeth, who is Levi's wife, prepares a delicious meal every day and waits for Levi. Then, Elizabeth always uses her own song at night to comfort Levi, which is what she can do for her husband as a wife.

Listening to his wife Elizabeth's singing, Levi can always feel the tranquility he wants to have in his heart, and then, in this peaceful tranquility, Levi falls asleep.

But what Levi never expected was that the only little tranquility was suddenly broken, and a storm that swept the whole kingdom inevitably blew to Levi's hometown.

One day, several merchants came to the town. They were constantly buying the food in the hands of the people at a price three times the market price, and they still refused to come.

At first, some people were skeptical, but when they saw coins and really put them in their hands, people began to go crazy and kept flocking to grabbing the extra food in their hands and selling them all.

And these businessmen are really rich, and the money in their hands seems to be endless. It is certain that there is a bigger organization behind them. It's just that it's strange that those businessmen will die from such a loss-making business?

In fact, those businessmen are very smart. They have a more terrible plan for this business. They are businessmen belonging to the "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce. They came here this time to carry out the task of the "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce, that is, to buy a large amount of food, and this time the behavior of the "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce is the most terrible and darkest, "snake-eating" in the history of the kingdom. The beginning of the food disaster.

This is a well-planned conspiracy and a huge disaster that can't escape. That's because Emperor Hiloken, who secretly dominated all this behind his back, has just ascended to power. By colluding with the most powerful "Terfi" commercial alliance in China, such a national grain acquisition was launched in order to carry out a more terrible counterattack in the near future.

And no one can see through this conspiracy in advance, except one person... Levi saw it, farther away, and then saw this more terrible future.

"Please don't sell your food completely, at least ensure that you have enough to support yourself." Levi did his best to appeal to the general public not to blindly sell the food in their hands.

" Come on, save it. Who can't do this?" Unfortunately, the people's prejudice against Levi's mind confused their minds and did not understand Levi's good intentions at all.

In the end, Levi could only come back disappointed again and again.

Now the situation is getting worse and worse. Looking at her husband, who is getting depressed, Elizabeth wants to encourage him to cheer up. In addition to singing every day, today, she also told him a piece of good news in Levi's ear.

Really? Is it true?" Levi jumped up so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Elizabeth nodded, and then touched her stomach happily to show her affirmation.

Levy happily took Elizabeth into his arms, with a happy smile on his face: "Great, I'm going to be a father."

Yes, the great news that makes Levi extremely excited is that Elizabeth is pregnant. Although it is only about three months, this is also the beginning of a real new life. For his children, Levi has been motivated and become more active. Even if the persuasion of the villagers is still ineffective, Levi will not be so depressed every day and will not be discouraged.

......

After that, half a year has passed, and the time has entered the period of famine. This period is the period of the least grain harvest every year. In weekdays, it is spent by stock.

And before this period, several major events also happened:

Emperor Hiloken, who ascended the throne, expressed extreme hatred in the name of his brother, the former Emperor Kilupe, who died at the hands of the Ishbars during the tour of Alma City, which made the relationship between the two ethnic groups very tense. The kingdom declared a state of emergency and recruited a large number of troops to expand its armaments with the intention of fighting the Ishubarians. The situation can be said to be a touch-and-go state, which is unrealistic for both sides who have just ended the long war under the fascist emperor and have not yet recovered.

And the merchants of the "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce did not stop their "weapons", that is, coins, and continued another war, that is, the war of food acquisition. Because of the rumors of war, the merchants raised the price of grain again. People were confused by such unprecedented profits and lost themselves. As a result, except for the necessary food left on hand, they were completely sold out.

Soon after, the kingdom began to take action and mobilized a large number of troops. It seemed that it was really going to go to war, which was a devastating disaster for the treasury, which was already strong outside.

Therefore, the kingdom has taken emergency measures, that is, according to the law of the kingdom, when the kingdom is in danger, the kingdom can collect a certain amount of materials from the people for military purposes. This amount is strictly stipulated, and the newly ascending Emperor Hilocan has unstable power, so it is in full accordance with this law. Go on.

By launching a propaganda offensive and inciting the people's deep love and indignant anger at the unfortunate assassination of Emperor Kilub, he stimulated the people's hatred towards the Ishbarians. Emperor Hiloken cunningly let the people under him really think that he was doing good for them, so There was not much protest, and this amount of military food was handed over one after another.

After all, I still have a large amount of coins in my hand, and money can be guaranteed, and there is a lot of gossip that this war should be difficult to fight, so that there will be no crisis, and people can continue to live a comfortable life at ease.

And during this comfortable time, the "Terfi" business alliance did not blindly lose money. They also launched a large number of luxury goods, so that those ordinary people who have money in their hands have a place to squander and make them paralyzed and degenerate. In the end, the people still become the objects of fooled.

In this way, a few months later, the battle has really been on the edge for a long time as rumored, without any practical action. However, such an unclear situation makes people feel more worried.

Entering the grain shortage period, there began to be completely different gossip from the past, and it was all bad news, so that people everywhere began to feel uneasy. Then, with this uneasiness, prices everywhere began to rise.

People found that a large amount of coins in their hands have gradually become worthless, and the necessities of life, especially food, are getting less and less and less. Even if there are hunters and fishermen who have a stable food supply, they are completely in short supply, which can be said to the point of crazy grabbing. .

People are finally going to pay their own price for their past greed.

And in all this, the "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce, which plays an important role, is finally time for them to take action. The squeezed food was slowly released, and it "gives back" to the general public at incredible and unimaginable prices.

As a result, the people below must be very dissatisfied and completely unable to accept such a thing. But it is invalid, because all of this is one of the acts that comply with the laws of the kingdom and is protected by the justice of Emperor Hiloken, who is actually the real black hand behind the scenes.

As a result, the soldiers of the kingdom, which is still under a state of emergency, suppressed the protests of the people on the charge of disturbing the order of the kingdom according to the order of Emperor Hiloken. Moreover, the smart "Terfei" Chamber of Commerce has also exhausted all means to soften some of the stupid and greedy people who can be used to let them serve themselves, sow discord and create contradictions and chaos among the people.

As a result, most of the people at a disadvantage had to become victims of the huge conspiracy of these dignitaries, which is the beginning and end of the "snake-eating disaster" food incident.

......

In the current kingdom, those hungry people can be seen everywhere. Every day, the people are there, competing with each other for a mouthful of food. It can be seen that the people's lives are really painful. In contrast, in the capital of Athos, it is a different scene, and Elvin and others are also so complicated. In the scene of Hua, he grew up in the imagination of the beauty of the kingdom.

At the time of food shortage in all parts of the kingdom, there are not many hungry people in the village and town where Levi is located, because people here distribute food for free every day.

"Thank you so much, Lord Levi. You are such a good person."

"Yes, we were so sorry for you before. We were too much."

"Lord Levi, we used to treat you like that. I hope you can forgive us."

......

With gratitude, the people constantly thanked Levi, whom they had never respected in the past.

"There is no need to thank you. This is the place I manage, which is also what I should do. Please cherish this food and don't be blinded by these interests in front of you in the future." Levi has always been so sincere and gentle.

Levi's efforts finally ushered in this day. Levi knew that it would turn into such a result. He prepared ahead and began to prepare in advance. When others sold a large amount of grain, he secretly bought and stored grain in turn. Of course, the price is not low, so he now stores it. A lot of food has been stored in my mansion.

Although Levi's grain cannot relieve the world, as long as it is reasonably distributed and cherished, the villages and towns under his management can barely survive this waste period.

This is also a happy thing, but some people are happy and some people are worried. This kind of good thing is not liked by everyone, and it is still very unpleasant.

The "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce is not a charity, and those in it are not kind-hearted people. They are a group of people who can do everything for money, and there are many means.

Originally, people were constantly conflicted, which was the most ideal environment for them to reap the benefits of fishermen. Now in order to prevent such signs of unity from appearing, they must be strangled in the cradle. Therefore, the people of the "Terfi" Chamber of Commerce quietly stretched out their black hands to Levi's place.
