Translator: 5496903

Colonel Kono, who was in power through the military administration, had deliberately allowed his subordinates to misbehave, causing the entire wealthy district to be filled with complaints. The consul had more or less heard about this, but unfortunately.., now, the consul also had to rely on the army to help him stabilize the situation. He could punish Colonel Kono, but no one dared to punish the lower-class soldiers in large numbers.

Because the Archon was in charge of the army, he had completely offended the rich and the aristocracy. If he offended the soldiers again, he would really be alone.

Therefore, even though he knew that the lower-class soldiers and police were doing evil, the Archon could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Now, Ralph had been deposed by him and even driven out of the rich district. Those aides did not have any good ideas, the consul did not even have anyone to ask for his advice. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

“If I had known earlier, I would not have been so cruel to Ralph...”the consul sighed. He was now a little regretful that he had chased Jiang Fei out of his residence. Otherwise, he could still have invited him back, even if he did not hold an official position, he would still be good as an aide!

However, no matter how developed medical science was in this world, there was no such thing as selling medicine for regret. Therefore, the consul could only feel bitter and speechless. The only thing he could do now was to have his subordinates discuss with Kono, he would ask him to restrain his soldiers. That was all.

However, the current Kono was no longer the same as before. He was now in power through military administration. He no longer had to listen to the consul’s words. If it was not for the consul’s official status.., if his soldiers were not willing to rebel with him, he would probably overthrow the consul and form his own military government.

Facing Colonel Kono, who was acting on his own accord and occasionally gave orders without permission, the consul was also suffering. Now, he understood what it meant to be easy to invite the gods but difficult to send them away. Now, he was a little resentful that Jiang Fei had given him a bad idea, however, there was no way to solve it.

The rich district was in a mess. On the contrary, the slums and the areas where the ordinary people lived were peaceful. Because Lina’s society had sufficient funds, they had accumulated a lot of supplies in advance, moreover, these supplies were distributed to each family. Each family did not have much stock, only enough for a few families to consume for a week or so. Therefore, in the first few days of the military administration, the poor and ordinary residents who had joined Lina’s society were doing quite well.

Although the military police did all kinds of evil in the rich district, they hardly harassed the civilian areas. The main reason was that these soldiers at the bottom were almost all civilians. They could not rob their own families, right?

As for the slums, these military police didn’t dare to go there at all. Because the poor people in the slums were more courageous than those in the rich areas who lived in luxury. Moreover, their families were weak. If you robbed them, you would be taking their lives, so if you dared to rob them, you would really dare to risk your life!

In this way, who among the military police wasn’t willing to easily rob the rich and make a windfall? Instead, they went to the slums and risked their lives to rob some steamed buns or something?

The pay and the harvest were out of proportion, so the military police wouldn’t even think about attacking the slums. Therefore, this place became the most peaceful place.

However, the good days would come to an end. Although the military police didn’t rob the slums, after the food distributed by Lina Society was finished, the poor still had to eat, but now, all the grain stocks were controlled by the military. The city was implementing a material distribution system. Every family received a ration of food, but the poor in the outer city were not so lucky, the welfare in the city was not their turn.

Originally, according to the consul’s idea, these poor could also receive food. Although there would be fewer people in the rich and commoner areas, at least they could eat.

But Colonel Kono modified the order on his own. He also allocated the resources belonging to the slums to his soldiers. The purpose was to make the soldiers support him more, however, the large number of poor people had completely lost their rations.

Kono was a soldier. He did not have any administrative experience, so when he gave such an order, he did not give it much thought. He simply wanted to add some benefits to his soldiers, when he saw that the lowly poor people actually had rations, he waved his pen and appropriated the rations.

As for what the peasants would do when they had no way to live, he had never thought about it. Even if he had thought about it, he did not care. After all, he had an army and guns. What was there to be afraid of?

At this moment, Lina was also worried. Although she had money, the problem was that now that military regulations were in place, all the food was in the hands of the army. The merchants’food had been confiscated. Even if she had money, she could not buy it!

“What should I do...”Lina was so anxious that she walked around the room. Suddenly, she had an idea!

“Oh right! I have a silk purse!”Lina’s eyebrows instantly relaxed. Then, she found a small package that was hidden very well. Then, she rummaged through it to find a silk purse that was suitable for opening now.

“This is it!”Soon, Lina found the silk purse that she needed and immediately opened it.

“Get Someone to contact the middle-ranking officers and secretly buy food from them! Don’t be afraid of spending money!”The content of the note was very simple, but it immediately solved Lina’s problem!

“Yes! Why didn’t I think of that!”Lina suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

As the saying goes, the upper beam is not upright, but the lower beam is not upright. Even Kono himself had filled his own pockets. Don’t those middle-ranking officers who manage the warehouse want to earn some money? Right Now, Lina had a lot of moon crystals in her hands. As long as she was willing to spend the money, there were middle-ranking officers with authority who were willing to secretly sell them food.

Although the military was in charge now and all materials were collected and distributed uniformly, it seemed that money and moon crystals were not worth anything. However, in fact, food was not something that the gamma space itself did not lack, the main reason for the widespread hunger was that the economy had collapsed. The rich and merchants were not willing to provide food to the people for free.

Therefore, food was not a scarce resource. It was just that after the economic collapse, the people did not have the money to buy food.

Under the military’s control, money or moon crystals seemed to be useless. However, the value of Moon Crystals was publicly recognized. Otherwise, when the military was in charge, they would not have confiscated all the moon crystals.

After that, Lina sent everyone out. Her club had all kinds of people, and there were many of them. Among them, there were people from the civilian areas. Some of them had family members who served in the army, some of them were even middle-ranking military officers who were in charge of grain.

Under these people’s matchmaking, Lina’s agent quickly used the moon crystals to buy back the grain. Although the price was not cheap, the distribution of grain made Lina’s club more cohesive. Everyone believed that.., no matter what the situation was, as long as they stayed in this club, everyone would be able to survive! They would be able to live a good life!
