After Hong Yitang finished speaking, he said in a low voice,”actually, it’ll be soon.” As the war continues, some problems have already appeared in many provinces in the central region. Perhaps many people have not noticed this. Some places in the central region have been suffering from a crop failure for many years!”
“The officials of the various provinces are getting restless and are secretly purchasing grain. In fact, the price of food on the market has already increased by 30%! This is only the beginning. As the war-torn zones expand, the daily consumption of the star dynasty, which has a population of ten billion, is an astronomical figure!”
“Some of the good fields used to be rich in grain, but now they are gradually barren. No one dares to go out and farm. Even if they do, they may not reap a single grain after a battle!”
Hong Yitang sighed again.”Now, because the dynasty is rich and has a large territory, it’s not obvious after a few years of war.” But very soon … It will explode!”
“Actually, many people are watching, waiting, waiting for these situations to happen.”
“Once such a chaotic era breaks out, it will be their opportunity. Chaotic times produce heroes, and chaotic times … Also produce formidable heroes!”
Hong Yitang chuckled.”Silver Moon is considered fine. Actually, the administration is quite responsible for this. They’ve been doing large-scale farming in the past few years, spreading new experiences, new discoveries, and new technologies … But even so, the surroundings are in chaos, so Silver Moon probably won’t be able to stay quiet.”
Li Hao frowned as he listened.
Nan Quan also raised his brows slightly and glanced at Hong Yitang.
To be honest, everyone in the martial arts world and the supernatural realm was chasing after strength. Few people would consider this. The heroes in the chaotic world might have seen it and seen through it, but they were all adding fuel to the fire!
They even took the initiative to stop the planting of some fertile fields and waited for the harvest to run out.
Ordinary people were weak, but once they were starving to the extreme, the power that everyone erupted with was enough to overthrow this dynasty and set off wars and revolutions.
Commoners don’t have much to pursue, but … You can’t let them go hungry!
When a person was extremely hungry, they would do anything.
After all, supers were a minority. Even if you could suppress ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million … What about ten million, a hundred million, a billion?
Li Hao’s face was slightly pale. The rolling waves seemed to be right in front of him.
He looked at Hong Yitang … To be honest, even if Li Hao was a commoner, the silver Blizzard city’s people could still be considered wealthy. Thus, it was hard for him to imagine that these scenes recorded in the history books would happen in this era!
With the advent of advanced technology and the spread of ancient technology, he felt that there would be no famine in this era.
However, at this moment … As Hong Yitang described the scene, he seemed to have seen it happen. A great force swept across the world, white bones were buried, and the sky and earth cracked!
Public opinion could not be violated!
“Old Hong, aren’t you exaggerating?” Nan Quan couldn’t hold back.
Hong Yitang laughed,’am I exaggerating? It was not an exaggeration. What I said is the truth. Some people saw it and pretended not to see it, some people really didn’t see it, some people deliberately let this scene happen, and some people … Are really stupid!”
“That’s why Li Hao asked why the soldiers of this era are not as good as those of the ancient civilization. I gave him the answer … It’s not the right time yet!”
“When this era is in complete chaos, when these people feel that their homes behind them will be destroyed … They will also burst out with unimaginable brilliance!”
He pointed at the people outside.”Some of these people may understand now, and some may not. But when the time comes, some may become Saints, some may become villains, some may become overlords, and some may become butchers!”
“What about you?” he looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao was confused.
What about me?
“You’re the same as them, right?”
Hong Yitang laughed.”You actually saw it. You even felt it. But don’t you think that it has nothing to do with you?” If this matter didn’t concern him, he would hang it high up! What does this era have to do with you? Your parents are dead, your friends are dead, and your teacher is your only relative. So, do you really care about the people of the Silver City? Liu Long’s belief is to protect the Silver City’s safety. What about you? You’re thinking, when I was weak, I just listened. Do you really take it seriously?”
“You called Liu Long out. Liu Long was thinking that once I became stronger, I would return to protect the Silver City! And you? What you’re thinking is that once you’re strong enough, you’ll go and kill all of Hong Yue’s enemies. Have you ever thought about what will happen to Silver City?”
“No.” Hong Yitang shook his head and chuckled,”in this era, everyone lives for themselves! The human heart is selfish, human nature is also selfish. To be honest, whether it’s the martial arts world or the supers, how many people are really willing to consider the civilians?”
Li Hao’s mind wandered.
‘I …’
Hong Yitang seemed to be right.
That’s right, he had never considered this point. The “protecting justice” that Liu Long had mentioned was just his slogan. He only felt that this would make him more righteous. But what exactly was justice?
He didn’t understand!
He looked at Hong Yitang with a confused expression.
Hong Yitang didn’t say anything else.
There was nothing much to say.
This wasn’t something that could be explained in a single sentence. If you didn’t understand, then you didn’t understand. If you understood … Then you understood!
One day, when Li Hao saw corpses and starved corpses strewn all over the ground, he would feel heartache, pity, blame himself, and regret for these people. Only then did Li Hao truly understand that if he felt that those who had died were just a group of ants … There was actually no need to say anything.
