A few days later.
The Changning Guard Region had already encountered quite a bit of chaos.
Every one or two days, Wang Shouzhe would receive a letter from Wang Shouyi, recounting the events happening within the Changning Guard. The City Guard Mansion had reached agreements with two Celestial Human Families and several top Spirit Platform Families, including the Xu Family from Changning, as well as Qiaan's Trading Company and other forces, to open granaries for disaster relief within the city.
However, the Guardian City, with its large population of over a hundred thousand, consumed an astronomical amount of grain daily.
Several audacious merchants had the nerve to hoard goods, selling grain to the city's citizens at five or six times the usual price. As a result, they were caught red-handed by the City Guard Mansion, not only executed and displayed to the public, but the grain they tried to stockpile was also confiscated and nationalized by the City Guard Mansion.
