"Your Majesty, I'm in trouble!" In the palace of the Tianshui Empire, the right minister looked at the latest information with a solemn face.

The emperor also had a piece of information on his desk, and asked in a low voice at this time, "Is there any further news from Wang Junbao?"

Right Xiang shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Wang Junbao has been discovered." I am afraid that the information passed on to us by Wang Junbao was specially arranged by the other party. This also explains why the information we get is always one step behind and always one level behind the key information. ”

"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "How can you be sure that the information that Wang Junbao has given us has always been one level behind?"

The right minister said without hesitation: "It's very simple, because Wang Junbao didn't get the three words 'trade war'! And these three words are the most critical."

According to our hidden and other secret stakes, the reason why the Minghui Empire sold Du Ergindan at a low price this time was actually for the trade war. And the immediate purpose of the trade war is to drain our domestic wealth.

In addition, it can also disrupt the domestic market by adjusting the price of Ergindan.

This information is gathered by multiple intelligence officers, but they are not top-level intelligence officers, but they just happen to be in a more appropriate position.

Today, this information is clear and vindication of the information.

However, Wang Junbao is in an important position, and he has not even been able to obtain this, and some information seems to be important, but it is always misled in key places, so that we miss the opportunity and let the matter get out of hand. ”

The emperor's face was calm, but there was inevitably some worry in his eyes. Now the domestic situation, although the emperor does not say that he fully understands, he still knows the situation.

Indeed, as the right minister said, the domestic situation is already a bit difficult to clean up, who would have thought that just a 'auxiliary' pill in the god transformation period could cause such a turmoil, almost prying on the economy and people's livelihood of the entire empire.

And the reason why the Tianshui Empire misjudged the current situation, maybe Wang Junbao's intelligence cannot be regarded as the main responsibility, but it definitely has great responsibility.

Because of Wang Junbao's misleading, the Tianshui Empire deviated in its initial decision-making. Maybe the deviation of this foundation is very small, but when the decision is enlarged to the whole country, to the scale of hundreds of billions, trillions of white tiger coins, this deviation is fatal.

Just like spaceflight, it may be just a haircut deviation at first, but when it expands to a star system, this deviation can eventually lead to a deviation of hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers, and completely miss the target.

After considering everything that happened recently, the emperor finally had to admit: "Wang Junbao should be exposed." Think about it, there are too many coincidences to be accurately deployed from the front line, and to be responsible for transactions with us.

So, does this mean that Li Jichang was actually captured by the Minghui Empire or the Blue Star Group a long time ago. Then, all the intelligence systems that Li Jichang is in charge of must be sorted out. There's even a reverse osmosis investigation!"

"Your Majesty rest assured, it is already being done. Fortunately, the time was found early. Although all the people in Li Jichang's family were unusable, because of the tight time for the infiltration work, the other party did not dare to make a big fanfare, but it was not much serious.

However, just in case, the minister has let all the relevant personnel stay at home, and some capable people will turn from dark to light, and enter some armies that can only accept orders, and there is no leakage problem. Even if he is really rebelled, he can only live here for the rest of his life. ”

The emperor nodded, and there was a slight joy in his tone: "You do things, which reassures me the most." How do you think the problem of crossing the Ergindan should be solved now?"

"There is no better solution, we can only 'poison the outside', we buy the Ergindan from the Minghui Empire and resell it to the rest of the countries. This is also what the Minghui Empire promised us before.

And although the market is a little volatile at the moment, it has really increased our foundation and foundation. As long as we can survive the current crisis, the empire will grow a lot.

In addition, it can reduce the planting of snake vine, which directly causes the phenomenon of out of stock in the market. This cannot be a fake, it must be a preconceived fact. ”

The Emperor frowned: "If the production of the snake vine decreases, then the price of the Erjin Pill will not rise?"

"No!" the right minister said categorically, "Your Majesty, the means of the Minghui Empire are really unexpected. They raised the purchase price, but they bought very little. So much so that the market is a little confused. ”

"I heard that the purchase price of the Hui Empire has increased slightly, with an average increase of 5%, and the fruit of the snake vine has increased by 7%, and I heard that there are many acquisitions. ”

"Your Majesty, most of the herbs they have purchased are actually ordinary medicinal herbs. Most of these medicinal materials are also medicinal materials that are currently in short supply in the Minghui Empire.

Now, because of the emergence of the Erjin Pill, the consumption of a large number of basic pills has increased, and the price of basic pills has increased, so even if the purchase price of medicinal materials is increased by 5%, the profit will be even higher than before.

But in our country, as long as the price of our medicinal materials rises, the price of Erjindan will increase immediately, causing everyone to dare not increase the price arbitrarily. The situation is getting worse.

The best way is to directly reduce the yield of the fruit of the snake vine, and it is best to directly reduce the cultivation of the snake vine. ”

The Great Emperor nodded slowly: "But the Jiao Snake Vine Fruit is one of the main medicines of the Erjin Pill, if the yield is reduced, will there be new bad changes?"

Right Prime Minister shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, we have all been deceived." Because according to our investigation, the little snake vine fruit they purchased was not enough at all.

In other words, the fruit of the snake vine is not the main medicine, but is actually an adjuvant, and it is the kind with the least dosage and almost no effect.

Even if there is no snake vine fruit as an adjuvant, you can find other medicinal materials to replace it.

We suspect that the fruit of this snake vine may be just a medicinal lead. Maybe hundreds of thousands of catties of medicinal herbs, as long as one or two snake vine fruits are enough.

Such a possibility is not even ruled out. This snake vine fruit was added separately in the later period, just to hide people's eyes.

Besides, even if the supply of the snake vine fruit is cut off, the Minghui Empire will not give up the Erjin Dan. Because the profits are too big, and it also involves their trade war.

Taking a step back, if they can raise the price of Ergindan, the domestic market will recover!"

The Emperor immediately made a decision and immediately ordered to start reducing the production of Jiao Snake Vine. But since you want to do it, you have to do it as perfectly as possible, and you have to create an accident, at least the two countries can get by on the face.

Two days later, a cargo ship crashed into a major planet planted with snake vines at almost 800 kilometers per second. All indications 'suggest' that this was an accident on the surface, but in fact it was manipulated by a certain country next to the Tianshui Empire (specifically not the Minghui Empire).

A cargo spaceship with a size of 50 kilometers crashed into the planet, which directly caused the ecology of the entire planet to almost collapse, dust obscured the entire planet, volcanoes one after another, earthquakes were repeated, and a large number of toxic gases filled the planet.

Because this impact caused the core of the earth to shake, the planet's aura environment was completely destroyed. And this caused the death of all the snake vines on the entire planet. (Note (1))

In this impact, at least 500 million people died on the planet, and the economic damage caused is incalculable!

When the emperor saw this report, he just sighed and asked people to come to the rescue.

Although the destruction of this planet is heart-wrenching and sad, sitting in the position of an emperor requires consideration for the entire empire. The entire Tianshui Empire has a direct territory of 800 light years and tens of thousands of planets of life.

Sacrificing a few for the sake of the majority...... It is also a helpless, rational choice. Of course, it is also a cold choice.

In the rescue, it was found that the actual death toll was higher. The entire planet of life was completely destroyed. Because of the intense shock of the earth's core, the entire planet has lost the value of repair and can only be abandoned.

Affected by this 'good' news, the price of Jiao Snake vine fruit on the market has soared three times!

However, this time, the Minghui Empire said that for the sake of friendship between the two countries, it supported the disaster relief fund of 200 million White Tiger Coins, and promised to do its best to stabilize the price of Ergindan.

As a result, the token price of Ergindan rose a little, and that's it.

When the Emperor of the Water Empire saw the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure enough, what kind of snake vine fruit is a false news. The Minghui Empire is really a big deal!"

............

When the news reached Zhang Hao, it was already two months later. The reason why it is a lot slower is because the Minghui Empire and Prince Rui do not pay attention to it.

In Prince Rui's opinion, since the planet is destroyed, it is useless to say anything. It's important to maintain the big picture. Although everyone can basically think about it on their knees, they can understand that this planet should have been destroyed by the Tianshui Empire itself.

However, when Zhang Hao saw the news, he sighed: "This is ...... Err...... Ahem, it could have been better!"

Huang Long didn't care about Zhang Hao's little 'language disease' - if he dared to directly say that a prince did something wrong, ordinary people would definitely give him a pair of small shoes. But Zhang Hao, Huang Long pretended not to hear.

But Huang Long was not convinced: "What does Mr. Zhang think should be done?"

Zhang Hao immediately said: "We should immediately support one billion White Tiger Coins for disaster relief, and said that it is not enough, and a large number of medical personnel and a large number of relief materials should be provided."

Especially those second-hand basic living materials that we don't want, we can give them all, this is rescue and not sales. And the sooner you do it, the better.

But on the other hand, we must strongly condemn the Tianshui Empire for failing to protect the common wealth of the two peoples!

Immediately send a strong observation team to observe the planet to see if there is a possibility of repair. Using the agreement we signed, we asked the Tianshui Empire to guarantee the supply of Jiao Snake Vine Fruits, and not to increase the price. Otherwise, an ultimatum will be issued, threatening to increase the price of the pill!

In short, there are two steps: the first step is to show concern for the people affected by the disaster and do not hesitate to donate huge sums of money; the second step is to ensure the supply of the fruits of the snake vine, otherwise we will not hesitate to fight!

Huang Long listened and was silent for a long time, and then said faintly: "Mr. Zhang, how about being a prime minister in the Minghui Empire? ”
