Chapter 367 Alliance
Four days after the start of the price hike… A lot of people are now creating a ruckus outside of the palace. Of course most of these people were paid to do this.
This rally and chaos is present everywhere in the country as many people were causing commotion and intentionally making trouble towards everyone who are working for the government.
Eight in the morning when the palace announce that the King will make a statement.
This announcement did not surprise a lot of people since they were already expecting this response from the King for some time now. However, this did not mean that the chaos on the countryside stopped. As more and more people from the lower cla.s.s are causing some riots.
"This is not surprising." Jiang Yue stated. "The Kim family were smart enough to cause panic and targeted the people living in countryside. Everyone who is earning below the minimum would immediately panic if they receive a news about food shortage accompanied by price hike."
"That Li Qiang was smart enough to do this. However, he underestimated me too much." she added before looking at Fu Jin. "It"s time.. Are you coming with me?"
…
Gideon stared at the people in front of him. To his left, the Prime Minister stand tall with his grumpy face. To his right are the Cabinet members who is solemnly looking at everyone.
Gideon sneered inwardly at the hypocrisy of this people. Almost everyone of this people who were standing next to him had taken advantage of this economic problem. They just thought that he is unaware or is taking a blind eye to their actions.
However, Gideon is not doing anything right now because of Jiang Yue"s plan.
"Good Morning," he started. "I am here to address the recent problem that we experienced just a few days ago. This economic problem coupled with some fake news had created a panic to everyone. And I am here to tell you not to worry for we are doing our best to prioritize the welfare of the people."
"A portion of the money allocated for the military will be use to purchase rice and other commodities abroad. Moreover, the w.a.n.g Empire promised to help by purchasing rice and medicinal supplies from B Country and selling it at a lower price in our country." he said. This was originally Jiang Yue"s plan. Since the Kim Family wanted to cause chaos, Jiang Yue plan to use this against them and gain some support from everyone.
To be honest Gideon found this move brilliant as this will make everyone view Jiang Yue in a new light. Moreover, this will prepare the mindset of everyone when Jiang Yue took over as the new queen of this country.
His statement earned a lot of surprised gasp from his cabinet members and most importantly from the Prime Minister. These is not part of their meetings and everyone was shocked to hear this from the King himself.
"In fact, a mobile store will be available in every part of the country in the next twenty four hours. This Mobile store will have some cheap supplies for everyone. From Rice to canned goods to some basic medicine. The Mobile store will be available for everyone." he added. Until now, Gideon can still not stop applauding Jiang Yue"s wisdom. When she notice that someone is buying the food supplies from the Black Market,she immediately told Gideon to prepare for big Vans that could be used to transport food and at the same time, act as a store.
Since M Country is actually not that big. Jiang Yue"s plan immediately came to fruition. Even making Gideon speechless.
With these move, Jiang Yue and the w.a.n.g Empire would gain the recognition by a lot of people. Gideon is also sure that this would surprise the Kim Family and would made them unable to counter for a while. After all, their plan of sabotaging the economy was already planned ahead of time. A surprising move like this is something that they did not even thought of.
This is only because the Kim Family did not include Jiang Yue when they started making this plan with Li Qiang. They originally thought that it would at least take Jiang Yue and the king a week to act. Who would have thought that Jiang Yue would strike them just the day after they celebrated this victory?
Most of the people who attended this conference immediately applauded at the King"s words. As expected their king was able to find a good alliance with someone as prominent as the w.a.n.g Empire.
Even though the conference was not yet done, the news of the w.a.n.g Empire helping the country was already posted online, making the head of the Kim Family almost faint from too much anger.
