After reading it, he stared at the person kneeling below and said:
"So there is a disease in the north. More than half of the potato seedlings have been infected and died. The northern government wants us to provide food aid?"
The person below said tremblingly: "Yes, sir! Now there is famine in some villages and turmoil has begun."
The noble smiled carelessly, then raised a flame on his finger, burning the report to ashes.
Then with a gentle blow, the ashes fell on the faces of the people kneeling below.
The meaning is self-evident.
"You just come to wake up my beautiful night time for such a little thing? Just transfer the money. Food transportation is time-consuming and laborious, and you have to worry about damage in the middle. Give them some money and they will buy it themselves. It's really not a big place. There’s a lot going on.”
The casual look of the nobleman in luxurious pajamas was deeply reflected in the eyes of the group of people below, and they did not dare to raise their heads to look at the nobleman.
They all nodded and took the test, then withdrew.
But after these people retreated, the noble who was very proud just now suddenly showed a panicked expression.
The report is direct food assistance, because it is the fastest and more emergency response measure.
It takes time for money to turn into food, but the problem is that there is not much surplus food in Victoria now!
As a relative of the emperor, he naturally has some power in the country. Minister of Food is both his position and his title.
It is not uncommon for governments in various countries to enrich their own pockets, which means that the food stocks of the Victoria Empire have been basically destroyed by him.
In the past few decades or even hundreds of years, food was basically replaced by another batch after one batch rotted. Because of Victoria's fertile land and unique climatic conditions, food production no longer became a problem.
Not only are there high yields of potatoes all year round, but the weather is good and there are no obvious pests or diseases at all.
As the Minister of Food, he only knows how to gild himself and earn more money for his family.
After all, all the ledgers have to be reviewed by him, and he can change whatever he wants.
Grain may not seem like a high-profit item, but in fact, only people in public can know the profit.
Selling raw materials to various factories would be a lot of money.
Moreover, the previous food ministers also did this. They should have continued the tradition and continued to step on the accelerator for the country's corruption and the demise of the Victorian aristocracy in this position.
But that's how it should be, but...
This damn sudden disease destroyed the balance all of a sudden.
There is no food in the treasury now! In other words, there is simply no excess food to aid the north!
They have plenty of money, but money cannot be turned into food immediately!
The previous finance ministers who managed food were really greedy! And he became even more greedy.
The grain that had just been harvested the previous year was recorded in the treasury and basically sold by him in the blink of an eye.
One thing to note here is that national reserves of grain and grain circulating in the market are two different concepts.
One is circulated and the other is uncirculated.
The Minister of Food believes that he has made some contribution to Victoria. For example, the price of food is now very low.
It has something to do with his large amount of transportation and theft of the treasury.
But none of this matters now, because if he can no longer handle these things, he will be exposed.
The law may not have much binding force on you, but your family will be eager to tear you apart.
This is no longer a simple internal matter of the family. They are not the only aristocratic family in Victoria.
The major families check and balance each other and jointly manage the basic operations of the country. Your affairs do not need to be reviewed by government agencies, but you must pass them by the nobles.
"Perhaps the pests and diseases this time are not that widespread. At least only the northern areas are affected. There are currently no signs of infection in the south. Let's see if we can fill the southern food supply back into the national treasury."
This is the only place he can do it at the moment.
But he began to worry again later, because once the grain on the market was filled back into the national treasury, it would cause violent fluctuations in grain prices.
This is no small sum.
But these are no longer things he can think about. The most important thing for him now is to fill the gap in the national treasury.
Otherwise, your life will be at risk.
The changes currently taking place in Victoria cannot be said to have anything to do with everyone in Colombia, or they can only be said to have nothing to do with them.
They were thinking about another thing.
That is the issue of Scorpion's ownership.
Ceria: "Yelena, did Scorpion tell you when he would come to your place?"
Yelena: "There's about a week left, what? Can't bear to leave?"
Ceria: "It's a long story. I have to experience an eye-rolling feeling every night, which is really not a good thing."
Yelena: "I really don't know if you are complaining to me or showing off. Isn't this the life you dreamed of before?"
Seria: "When you wake up every morning, it's like you've been plated with gold, and your whole body is like being fished out of the shower gel. Then you'll know why I said such words. You can't breathe or think. ......."
Yelena: "You two have a lot of fun..."
Ceria: "Hurry up and urge Scorpion to go to Victoria. I can't bear it anymore. Now I really understand what it was like when his body was not developed, and he felt weak and powerless."
Seria: "Now the situation has changed. Really, I have been having difficulty even thinking recently. The frequency of Scorpion's demands is so high that even I feel scared."
Yelena: "Didn't you yell all day long and refused to give it to us, but now you know it hurts?"
Seria: "It was before, and it is now. The main reason is that Scorpion's ability is too strong. When I am intimate with him, I will not feel any pain but will sink into it.
It's like fertilizing the farmland while plowing the land. The cattle will not be tired or damaged. Although I enjoy it very much, I really can't go on like this. If I continue like this, my employees will suspect that I am going to die suddenly. "
Yelena: "How many times have you two fought?"
Ceria: "It just exceeded three digits yesterday. If I go back home today, I guess the full three digits will increase."
White Rabbit looked at the information on his hand.
There was great shock in his eyes!
This dragon really relied on its physical strength to do whatever it wanted. Now, it seemed like she couldn't hold it anymore.
Seria is really too inferior.
A little bit inferior to Tallulah.
Chapter 537 The resistance level increases!

"Ceria, you look so bad. Is there really nothing wrong with you?" Mulseth looked at his friend's chapped lips, pale face, and circles of dark circles under his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the muscles on her friend's arms were still strong, she would have really thought that Ceria had taken drugs behind her back.
"I'm fine. It's just that I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. It's all my own fault. I can't control my significant other."
Of course, the other half that Ceria mentioned here did not refer to the scorpion but to her own body.
Now Seria really wants to give herself a punch in the head to stop her from thinking about weird things all day long.
"Go see a doctor. Things in life must be accommodating... You must give the two of you a little private space..."
Muirseth had put it very tactfully. Although his professional project was ecological research, as a college student, she still had some understanding of some medical matters.
Especially since Seria's recent behavior of avoiding the medical department when walking was very abnormal, she originally thought that her friend might be on the road of no return and was planning to give him some advice.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, his colleagues from the medical department pulled him over and explained what was going on in the recent situation under the jurisdiction of Seria.
He used a lot of Yanguo words to explain it, but it was all very confusing, and the little water elf couldn't think straight.
But she still understood what her colleague said.
The water elf was greatly shocked, and after carefully checking the relevant information, he found that his friend indeed fully embodied the four words of excessive indulgence.
After saying these words, Ceria's pale face finally turned a little rosy, and she coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"I will pay attention. This is indeed what I did wrong. Don't worry, I will adjust my condition right away."
"You said the same thing in the meeting three days ago, but your face is even worse now."
"I have a sweet husband at home, so I have to try it..."
"Forget it! This is your private matter and I won't care about it! Just go to work with a big black eye every day!"
Seeing that the dragon in front of him still looked unrepentant, this lively and beautiful water elf didn't bother to care.
It is a good thing for young people to be energetic, both men and women.
Mulseth just asked casually out of concern. How to solve it depends on the friend in front of him.
If she could really listen.
"You can't experience this kind of happiness. Maybe you can experience it when you get married in the future."
"How old is he? If he is not sensible, are you also ignorant? And you are only 20 years old!"
Mulseth couldn't help but complain, and then his body turned into a mist and disappeared into Ceria's office.
.......
Seria looked at the supplements sent by the other party and the documents on the table. She decided to work a little overtime tonight. At the same time, she was also looking forward to what kind of outfit Scorpion would give herself today.
There was hope and fear in my heart.
It wasn't until 10:00 pm that she finished processing all the documents. Except for the security guards who kept vigil and the scientific research madmen who forgot about food and sleep, there was no one left in Rhine Life.
On the way home, Ceria looked at the brightly lit road and her thoughts arose again.
"I have to go back again. Although such a life is very enviable, but..."
Seria dragged her tired body and took difficult steps after handling the company's affairs.
At the same time, prepare to take a walk around.
She wanted to delay until it was time to go to bed.
When she was tired and wanted to sleep, Scorpion wouldn't be able to touch her anymore.
