Realizing this, Harrov and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked rather strangely.

"Since there is enough food, why do we need to purchase a large amount of wheat from the empire?"

"Of course it's to prevent famine caused by the large number of refugees." Lin En said calmly. "It's always safer to have more food reserves, isn't it?"

Once they defeat the Holy See, they will have to face tens of millions of poor people in the empire, so it is better to prepare early than late!

Lin En also did not expect that his actions to consolidate the cultivated land in the east and purchase grain from the empire would cause some people to misjudge and launch a food war.

"Laud, have you found out who is behind the scenes?" Linn paused and asked.

"I suspect it has something to do with the nobles in the kingdom." Lauder replied hesitantly.

Since there are too many people buying wheat on a large scale, many traders and even civilians have participated. In a short period of time, he cannot determine who is the mastermind behind the scenes and who is following the trend and trying to make a fortune.

, but it is certain that a large number of nobles from the kingdom must be involved.

However, he has already asked the psychic wizards to investigate, and he believes that the results will be available soon.

"Noble..." Lin En's expression suddenly turned cold.

Being busy dealing with the empire and the church recently, he almost forgot that there is still such a group of worms in the kingdom who are relying on their territory and not working hard.

The reason why we did not deal with them all before was because the wizards had not yet gained the trust of the people after occupying the kingdom. Taking action against these people rashly might cause the finally stable situation to erode again.

In addition, not all nobles are so dishonest. Some nobles who are flexible and have knowledge are still willing to embrace the new era, so it is not good to kill all these people.

After Lin En thought for a moment, he gave instructions. "Since they are willing to collect grain at a high price, let them continue to collect it and release the grain we have stored part by part!"

He did not intend to directly send people to arrest all the merchants who were hoarding wheat. Firstly, there were too many people, and secondly, there was no such law in the kingdom.

But this does not mean that there are no other ways to deal with these people.

It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to let those businessmen who want to follow the trend and take advantage and make money for the country to know that there are limits to the freedom of trade. Once the line is crossed, there will be consequences!

'071, help me bring out the artificial starch technology...' Lin En thought silently in his heart. He originally didn't want to bring out this technology so quickly.
