Chapter 130, the neighbors did not stock up on food(2/2)
Unfortunately, Baron Sith also lacks food. Although he bought a batch in time, the locust plague was completely out of reach!
Their own territory is reducing their food consumption, so how can they spare their energy to help others?
"The situation you are facing is similar. The biggest problem is food shortage.
The scope of this locust plague was too wide, and nobles from all over the country suspended the sale of grain to the outside world. In a short period of time, it would be difficult for us to purchase enough grain from the southeastern province.
For the sake of this, we can only organize caravans to other human countries to see if we can gain something.
The country closest to us is the Kingdom of Hesse, but unfortunately it is blocked by the Black Rock Mountains, so we have to take a long way to go.
Sending people is simple, but transporting a large amount of food back is a big problem.
Not to mention the long time spent, the key is that half of the food will be consumed halfway.
The easiest way is undoubtedly to go through the water. Unfortunately, the coastal ports are mostly controlled by the Dalton family.
The possibility of Governor Pierce lending us is slim.
Even if you can use the passage, the vast sea will be extremely dangerous. There is nothing strange about being wiped out by annihilation on the sea."
Baron Sith's words undoubtedly poured a pot of cold water on everyone.
It’s not that the boss doesn’t think of a solution, but that he’s really finished thinking about it, but he doesn’t have a reliable solution.
If you can’t buy enough food inside, you can buy food outside, but the problem is that you can’t get it back.
The population of the northern nobles present was 70,000 to 80,000, and the population of the slaves exceeded 100,000.
Livestock must also be considered. Regardless of the cattle and sheep, the food rations of war horses cannot be deducted, right? To solve the food shortage, at least tens of millions of pounds of grain must be imported.
Such a huge gap is almost a thousand miles away, and land transportation is simply a mess.
Unless you get the support of the Dalton family, many people will be wiped out when they go out.
Within the kingdom, everyone needs to pay attention to eating behavior and not do it too much.
It is so common to have a fleet of missing in the vast sea. Even if the kingdom wants to investigate, he doesn’t know where to start.
"We have no food, which does not mean that others have no food. Instead of lamenting here, it is better to talk to them openly and honestly.
Either sell us food to overcome this difficulty. Or everyone will stop passing it and go to hell together.”
Kate said murderously.
I have accumulated too much resentment recently and I urgently need a channel to vent. Anyway, I am deeply in trouble with the July Club, and it is unknown whether I can escape.
The rest of the people were worried that doing this would lead to adverse consequences, but Kate didn't care.
If you win the bet, you will continue to be a noble master here; if you lose the bet, you will have to run away.
Anyway, once the thunder in July explodes, he will still have to die.
It may be a good thing to have so many people accompanying you.
"Things are not up to this point.
We can also ask the Kingdom for help.
Everyone started to mobilize their connections and put pressure on the Dalton family together. Our Governor could not withstand such a great deal of pressure.
At that time, he will naturally choose to compromise."
Baron Sith hurriedly comforted.
Reason told him that this is not the time to provoke conflict.
The native nobles did have food in their hands, but it did not mean that they also stored a large amount of food in their newly opened territory.
"Neighbors hoard food, I hoard guns."
The premise is that the neighbors stock up on food.
If someone doesn’t stock up on a lot of food, even if he wins, he will find it difficult to get the expected gains and will only cause trouble.
Baron Kate was frustrated continuously and was ready to give up. Baron Sith, who still has a bright future, didn't want to be with him.
The background is the background, Caesar III is not a good person to mess with.
Why should a guy who only causes trouble and cannot maintain local stability be the county magistrate?
Not to mention that it is the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke, even if the Grand Duke's legitimate son is not able to make him, he can only be a rice worm
A conflict initiated by a person who is interested was suppressed by the two giants in Lait County.
However, the actual problem of locust plague still needs to be solved.
If you have a relationship, you can only save yourself if you don’t.
Hudson became busy for a moment, to be precise, Bear Stearn became busy.
Faced with the army of locusts, the efficiency of artificial locusts is too low.
It would be much easier to replace it with a bear on Earth. Not only can it kill the locusts, but it can also solve the eggs in the ground.
Especially locust eggs, that thing is even more stubborn.
Traditional methods use human resources, water, fire and other natural resources to kill them. Not only are there low efficiency, but there are still many fish that miss the net.
After all, locust eggs are too small and mixed in the soil, and it is easy for the naked eye to ignore them.
Fire burning is the best, but you can't burn all the land all over, right?
The magic potion kills insect eggs and is also good. Unfortunately, not only the price of that thing is high, but the yield is pitifully low, so there are not enough nobles.
Bear Stearn, who possesses the ability to kill insects, soon came into everyone's sight.
Under the cover of the gravity field, even the locusts could not stand it, and naturally the insect eggs could not withstand it.
Now there are bare areas everywhere, and there is no trouble of accidentally hurting flowers and plants. You can let the young bears go.
There is no doubt that killing locusts must be charged, and even if the insect eggs are done, there will be an extra money.
Hudson was also very helpless when he met a bear who only recognized money. If this continues, the outside world still doesn't know how to arrange it.
If the monster causes trouble, the master will take the blame!
In order to facilitate bargaining, Bear Stearn learned to speak in advance, which made Hudson no longer have the opportunity to make a difference when he wanted to be a middleman.
There is also a harvest. Everyone thinks that Mr. Hudson’s bear is adult!
The deterrent power of mountain territory +10086...
No matter how much it is concealed, it is useless. Only when the Earth Bear can use the common language of the mainland as an adult is a recognized "truth".
Bear Stearn, who was originally only two years and three months old, now has to announce that he is two hundred and thirty years old.
As for Hudson, he was naturally lucky and picked up a land bear that was about to become an adult.
Regardless of whether Hudson believes it or not, the outside world believes this statement anyway.
This time, no one suspected that Bear Stearns was the earth bear captured by the Holy See, and he was not as good as his age.
The Earth Bear, who is approaching adulthood, has excellent combat effectiveness and there is almost no possibility of capturing it alive.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, the charm of the strong is unparalleled.
Hudson, who is a man with a powerful figure, will be welcomed the warmest no matter where he goes.
Even the nobles who have complained about the high fees and are quite complaining about the price, no longer say anything.
The top powerhouses in the mainland are willing to help eliminate locusts. It is really conscientious to collect only one silver coin per mu of land.
If you don’t want to, there are still people rushing to queue up behind you.
If it is not our territory or in units of tens of thousands of acres, this charging standard is really not high.
Although the speed is a little faster, it only means high efficiency. No matter what, Mr. Bear Stearn had to go there and scramble for a while.
In one day, he could solve the troubles of more than a dozen nobles. Seeing Bear Stearns making money, Hudson suddenly realized that he was a poor man.
In the past, Xiong worked for him, but he didn't expect that the feng shui would change. Now it's his turn to work for Xiong.
Although I have won a good price, according to the highest appearance fee standard of "Divine Bow Knight", 500 gold coins per day and overtime fees are calculated separately.
But Hudson couldn't be happy at all.
Reason told him that Bear Stearn's vault must be hollowed out as soon as possible, otherwise this guy would be able to show off.
After a deep reflection, Hudson found that he was not dark enough.
The expenses in cultivation are too small, and the energy is stored in your own compass. Even if you falsely report the consumption of magic crystal stones by more than ten times, Bear Stearn will not know.
Reason: The strength increases and the energy purity required is higher.
There is no problem, energy purification will definitely be depleted, which is common knowledge in the mainland.
Need services are urgently needed, monopolize transactions, and bargaining is not allowed.
For grassland rental, you can just add a little after-sales service. These visible fees can no longer be deceived.
Perhaps fooling the bear to develop the swamp is also a good choice. As long as Bear Stearn is willing to contribute, the development progress will definitely increase greatly.
For example: Before digging a trench, use magic to temporarily harden the silt on both sides.
