As he blurrily walked out of Xinglong Military Academy, the excitement in Liu Wei An's heart slowly faded, and what replaced it were some nervousness. Whether it was the simple school, the eccentric students, or the unreliable teacher, everything he saw and heard gave him an uncomfortable feeling, maybe he had entered a scammer university. Liu Wei An let out a small sigh. When a matter that was extremely difficult to deal with was suddenly easy to deal with, it would result in a few misgivings.

I hope tomorrow won't be too disappointing.

He should have celebrated his successful entry to the university, but now, he didn't even have the mood to do so. He took a taxi back home. When he opened the door, he found that there was someone at home. Xu Ying, Zhou Jie and Zhang Yan were all there. They were very surprised to see Liu Wei An. It was daytime, and it was not a weekend either.

Eating and drinking and having fun, which part of him didn't need to spend money? When did the thrifty Zhou Yan become so generous? Liu Wei An was a little puzzled, but thinking about the Dragon Boat Festival, he was also a little moved.

"Buy the zongzi leaves and wrap them around the zongzi."

"What kind of suggestion is this? The zongzi leaf doesn't need money?" Zhou Jie immediately objected.

"If I pay, will you guys wrap the dumplings?" Liu Wei An looked at the moved Xu Ying and felt a little strange. Normally, she wasn't such a petty person. Narrowing her eyes, Xu Ying had always worn a casual attire at home. There was a small halter top with a small shoulder shirt, and a flowery skirt with perfectly round white shoulders like white jade. Her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and she was still as beautiful as before.

"Magnanimous!" "However, Liu Wei An, zongzi leaves, glutinous rice and the like are not cheap. Are you sure you want to pay?" Zhang Yan said half-jokingly.

"Let's go together." Xu Ying interrupted.

"It doesn't matter, since it's an event, I will definitely contribute greatly with money. I won't wrap the rice dumplings around me, so I will have to pay for it." No need to be polite, we're already so familiar with each other. It's the same no matter who comes out, as long as they're happy. " Liu Wei An smiled and didn't mind.

"Sure, Liu Wei An will come out this time. We, the husband and wife, will come out for the next event." Zhou Jie rushed in front of Xu Ying and happily decided. Zhang Yan quickly turned on the laptop.

Nowadays, shopping was mostly online shopping.

Looking at the items in the Merchant Shop, Liu Wei An finally understood the meaning behind Zhang Yan's words. Zongye, 16 copper coins for one piece, 300 copper coins for one catty of glutinous rice, red dates, peanuts, black beans, chestnuts, and so on, they were all basically several hundred copper coins per catty. Among them, lotus seeds were the most expensive, 1800 copper coins per catty. These could all be used as dumpling stuffing. There were also some dried fruits required for festivals, such as pistachios, almonds, walnuts, nuts. The price was basically above 3000 copper coins, which was very expensive. If this price was placed in the slave sector, it wouldn't even be worth thinking about.

"Why did the price increase again?" Zhang Yan frowned, "Yesterday I saw that the glutinous rice was only 296 copper coins per catty, and there was also chestnut. I remembered that yesterday it was 265 copper coins per catty, but now it has actually increased to 270 copper coins per catty. The price is getting higher and higher. By then, we probably won't even be able to afford the steamed buns anymore. "

The four of them bought the rice dumplings based on the quantity of twelve or thirteen dumplings each. They each had around fifty dumplings worth of ingredients and each had around five thousand copper coins. He added in some snacks and paid the bill, 12,653 copper coins.

"I heard from a friend that the harvest had been poor recently. Was there a flood or a drought? Or was there a Chicken Plague? That's why the price of food has risen?" Zhou Jie said.

Liu Wei An glanced at Xu Ying thoughtfully. It seemed that when Zhou Jie mentioned 'Chicken Plague', her expression changed a little and her eyes were fixed on the laptop. Although she had only glanced at it once, she had noted down the prices of the items on the laptop. Judging from the situation where Mars had always been nervous about food, what Zhou Jie had just said was not groundless news.

No matter how much food crisis there was, it would not be a crisis in the city. As long as they had money, they would definitely be hungry to death, and the army would usually store enough food for the city for one or two years. The thing they needed to worry about was the slave district.

During this time, Times Square and Liu Wei An basically kept in touch with each other every two days, ensuring that Liu Wei An would be able to keep track of any developments in Times Square. Under the great investment of manpower and material resources, Times Square has entered a period of rapid development.

There were two things Times Square was doing right now. One was underground castles, so why build underground castles? There was no way around it, the country would not allow large-scale organizations to exist independently, even if it was just a few slaves. The country didn't care about being organized or undisciplined, but once controlled, they would definitely be mercilessly attacked by the country. Right now, the number of slaves controlled by Times Square was around thirty thousand. There were thirty thousand slaves surrounding them, making a total of sixty thousand soldiers and horses. In the slave sector, where there were over a million movements, this was not a good time to wake up. However, with only a few people left, it did not mean that they would not attract anyone in the future. It was necessary to prepare for a rainy day. The underground castle could be used to hide the number of people.

This is a security consideration.

The second thing was to build a road leading to the Mayan Empire. There would always be a day when the garbage mountain was dug up, and tens of thousands of slaves could not be kept by Liu Wei'an alone. However, the slave district did not have any resources.

The slave district was located in the middle of the three empires. No matter how harsh the environment was, the terrain was still there, and it was convenient to transport people. Due to various reasons, the road had yet to be built. Once it was built, it would inevitably become a major transportation channel linking all three empires. As long as a toll station was set up, it would be equivalent to an endless supply of money.

Although this plan was full of risks, after considering it over and over again, Liu Wei An still agreed to it. There was no other way out.

The only function of a slave was to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Now that the war had stopped, slaves had no use for it anymore. The second function was to mine ores. Unfortunately, the planets occupied by humans currently had no minerals. Third, he needed to do some of the most difficult and dangerous jobs, such as cleaning the sewers and exploring the unknown areas, but he didn't need that many slaves. The slightly useful slaves had long been taken away, and the rest were all unwanted.

Therefore, slaves could not find a job, even if they did not want money, just for a meal, they did not have that many jobs to offer them.

Repairing the road was the only profitable project that he could think of at the moment. No matter how risky it was, Liu Wei An still had to grit his teeth and do it.

Relying on the profits from the garbage, the small courtyard was able to maintain a budget and maintain a small balance after the road was repaired. At this point, he had to thank the tens of thousands of slaves in the slave area. In order to have a full meal, they didn't need to pay any wages, they put their lives at stake, and many places where they could use machines were artificially replaced. Except for those that couldn't be done manually, the rest of the steps were done by slaves.

Although food was not a small expense, compared to using machinery, it was much cheaper. Among them, Zhao Kangcheng played a key role.

He had taken care of the talent and equipment, but he wasn't at a loss either. In this era where trash were becoming more and more expensive, the daily input of ten cars into Times Square allowed him to earn a huge sum of money and his status in the junk world continued to rise.

Due to the massacre, Zhou Xing had risen in rank. He had been promoted from the Division Chief to the Leader of the Board of Directors. Although he was still in charge of guarding the door, he was, after all, the leader of more than a dozen people.

With the promotion of his position, he would have more authority. Under his operation, the 50 core members of Times Square had received proof of entry into the city, leaving their status as slaves. Henceforth, he would be a person who could openly enter the city.

This was also the reason why Zhou Xing was so cautious. He had too many proof to enter the city at once, for fear of attracting the attention of others.

The Slave District and the city had to be connected. Even though Zhao Kangcheng had some help, as Zhao Kangcheng's identity wasn't simple and he had to step in to help out in some major matters, it wasn't something that could be troublesome. It was necessary for someone to operate in the city.

Only after Liu Wei An paid the bill did Zhou Jie and Zhang Yan relax. They were worried that Liu Wei An would find the price too high and not pay.

Liu Wei An ignored the two and returned to his room. He first checked the balance in his bank account to thank the Yellow Sand City for their sighs and the 1.3 billion copper coins. He took out the phone.

"Young master!" The one who picked up the call was Hairy Monkey. As the elite of the transport fleet, he became the first person to enter the city. Because of his ability, he was promoted to the position of captain.

The direct descendant of the lion family had always referred to Liu Wei An as his benefactor. However, Liu Wei An didn't agree, so he changed his name to Young Master.

"Buying food!" Liu Wei An's order only had four words, no superfluous words.

When the monkey opened his phone and saw the series of numbers on the bank card, it almost blinded its eyes. It had to count for a few times to figure out the exact number of zeros and 1.3 billion. It was a sum that it had never seen before in its entire life. Although he didn't understand why Liu Wei An had issued such an order, he still carried out the order without any conditions.

It was around 12 in the afternoon, which was the time to eat at home. Anyuan City and the surrounding cities had their own rice shops, noodle shops, wholesale supermarket, and all sorts of goods... A few mysterious figures appeared and began to frantically sweep through the goods. Carts after carts of goods were delivered into the large trailer, and even the cashier was unable to sweep them away.

The huge cart filled with goods headed straight for the gate of Anyuan City which bordered the slave district. Zhou Xing, who had already been notified by Liu Wei An on the phone, did not stop them and allowed them through.

The trailer pulled out of the city gate, swapped seats with another group of huge trucks waiting outside. One group went into the city, while the other filled with food rushed towards Times Square. Times Square used to only have a few dozen dump trucks. However, due to the frequent trouble of changing cars, they bought more than 50 new cars in one go.

It was impossible to enter the city with a junkyard, so every time he bought some equipment, it would be at the entrance of the city.

At least fifty core members' identification cards had been obtained, so he bought another fifty big wagons in one go so that they could continue their business in the city.

Counting all of them, there were roughly one hundred and fifty cars in Times Square. However, he had spent almost all of his savings on these two big purchases.

Many citizens joined in the rush to buy food, making people blind. Once someone took the lead, there would be people following them, and it just so happened that at this time, the food crisis and the incident with the chicken plague broke out, and the panic spread at an alarming rate.

The lack of food on Mars was as serious as the lack of water, and had always been a topic of interest. At night, the entire Darkhan Dynasty fell into a rush to buy food, and the price of all kinds of food soared. Even so, it couldn't stop the citizens from feeling anxious and uneasy. Every place where there was food was flooded. Those who managed to snatch the food were afraid that it was not enough, while those who did not were incomparably anxious.

"Who was it? Who was it that leaked the news?" In Tianfeng Province, the deputy governor of the province who was in charge of food was furious.
