Chapter 426, Rye Mushroom
This was a quite wonderful collapse. As time went by, these Jihadi soldiers lost their support and their lives became more and more miserable. It became increasingly difficult for them to stir up any waves. Dangqi left the Ratmen in a small boat. The first expedition fleet, Shi Shiran, descended on the center of the Black Iron Heart, and everything settled at this moment.
This industrial planet will soon be pumped up. Compared with the smoothness of the Black Iron Heart Flag, other directions do not seem so easy.
The commander of the Skaven Second Fleet was a Skaven captain who was appointed when the Skaven began to explore the stars.
It is not a rat warlord in the conventional sense, but a professional fleet commander who is loyal to the emperor Qi. Of course, Qi will not bet all his treasures on these old warlords who have not completely bowed their heads yet. .
Heimao is already dead. He died in the first hundred years of the Skaven's exploration of the stars. He died in obscurity in the command room with an extremely fine magic pistol in his hand. Such a result is actually nothing. What a surprise. This is the choice of this reckless guy, Black Hair. When facing enemies that can be crushed, when there is nothing new to show and enemies that have to make the rat people go all out, at this time, there is no need. You don’t need a knife that’s overly sharp and might hurt you.
Ever since, this guy died like this, in an empty command room, with no dignity and no glory at all.
Today, the only remaining Skaven warlord in the Skaven Empire is Qi. In these terrifyingly long years, for him, such a time span is indeed enough to be called such a sentence.
The flag is still hanging on.
At the top of the towering steel city, in an exquisite and extravagant banquet, Qi received the flattering smiles of the rat men. These were all rat men on this black planet, and the president of the Engineers Association. , managers of super cities, chambers of commerce, celebrities, leaders of large mercenary teams, yes, maybe now we should call these large mercenaries another name, military support company.
Qi's interest was not that high.
Across this chaotic banquet venue, influenced by the tone and salon culture of the rat people's bureaucrats, the rat people generally looked a little more human-like, with the non-stop music at the banquet and the constant addition of various There are exquisite foods, and there are rat people who are either talking loudly or complimenting each other.
Of course, Hata was a little indifferent to such a scene. After passing through this series of scenes and standing on the edge of the top platform, many of the various things now were indeed very different from what he remembered. Far away.
Taking a sip of the so-called fine wine in his hand, Qi's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction. Compared to this, he was still more accustomed to the inferior mushroom wine popular in the lower city. That one was closer to these so-called fine wines. , something close to the flag of that era.
The Skaven of the old days and the things of the old days are pretty much the same.
………….
The target of the Second Expedition Fleet's conquest was an agricultural planet named Rye Star. It was a plain planet with no characteristics. Its specialty was a black mushroom that could make ratmen feel a little excited after eating it. Plant mushrooms growing on grass. This is the base camp of the temple priests and the key parish of the Rat Men Sect. Due to poverty, this is an agricultural planet of Rat Men, but the Rat Men on this planet cannot even feed themselves.
Rye mushroom is a good thing, but even the rat people cannot eat it as a staple food. It will be processed into a sticky chewing stimulant by the rat people merchants and used as a cheaper food. Use it as a substitute. As for who it is, we can only say , he has the effect of the blood-red mushroom that is engraved deep in the memory of the rat people and cannot erase the feelings, and the output is large enough, even those rat mercenaries who do not have many blood gold coins can bear it with gritted teeth. for the consumption of these rye mushrooms.
Rye mushroom is an additional crop with high economic value. Logically speaking, the rye star that produces it and the rat people on it should not be poor, but this is the case.
Rye mushrooms are indeed popular and have high value, but their value is basically eaten up by the big rat merchants who are responsible for the transportation. What is left to the hard-working rat people on Rye Star is barely enough. It's just a little bit full, which makes the black wheat mushroom more famous among the rat people of the black wheat star.
Black devil.
The breeze blew through the dark wheat field, and bunches of wheat stood tall in the flat field. The golden branches and ears and leaves were topped by a pool of dark-brown fleshy fruits that grew irregularly.
Rye mushroom, rye mushroom, itself is a thing born from fungus infecting wheat.
Those big rat businessmen have actually monopolized the land on this planet. They do this by transferring benefits to those rat bureaucrats. In other words, they actually don't even need to monopolize the land. , all it takes is a slight nod from those rat-man bureaucrats, and after an order is issued that only rye mushrooms are allowed to be grown, everything will be completed naturally.
Of course, the rye mushroom, known as the black devil, is not that simple. In fact, if you plant a few more rounds on the same piece of land, not too many rounds, up to three rounds, then the land will be infected by the rye fungus. After complete erosion, you can basically only grow wheat on this land, and rye mushrooms will grow from the wheat as it is eroded.
Strictly speaking, rye mushrooms cannot be eaten as the staple food of rat people.
This may be a conspiracy, or it may be a very successful bundling strategy.
In a very short period of time, twenty years, or even shorter, maybe fifteen years, in such a short period of time, rye mushrooms were planted throughout the entire rye star and basically eroded all the land. After that, This planet has become a reservation for those big rat businessmen.
Nothing can be done anymore. The land has been polluted and no food can be produced. They can only rely on the deployment of these big rat businessmen. Those rat bureaucrats who have been pushed to high places and are extremely flattering also suddenly find that they are completely affected by these. The big rat businessmen have been tied up, and this planet no longer has any autonomy. Of course, this is not the most sad thing. The most sad thing is that the big rat businessmen value profits very much.
