Time passed quietly for two days.

Wang Shouzhe spent these two days in the Changning mansion, cultivating his mind and spirit, enjoying some spiritual tea, practicing cultivation; he was leading a rather comfortable life.

However, outside the mansion, the world had changed within these two days. With the intensification of wheat irrigation, the first wave of insect disaster broke out with a thunderous momentum, spreading across the entire Changning Guard City area; all the clans were in chaos.

As a reduction in crop yield was inevitable, the prices of agricultural by­products — other than the staple foods strictly controlled by the Daqian government office — started to rise. Even the business of salted and smoked fish from the Wang family’s fish stalls improved greatly, with prices also significantly increased. In the scenario of a shortage of staple food, salted and smoked fish, which can be preserved for a long time, can also maintain life’s continuity.

All the rice merchants have stopped selling grain to the outside world.

Meanwhile, the rice stores run by the Daqian government office have started to sell in limited quantities. Long queues have formed outside these shops and the city guards have intervened to maintain order.

Drinking his tea, Wang Shouzhe heard the news from all sides, causing ripples in his otherwise calm heart. If it weren’t for the fact that his family had a gem like Wang Luo Jing, perhaps they would be fraught with worry and stress right now, wouldn’t they?
