Fantasy Simulator Chapter 290: The food issue (No. 2

Any large family will have corresponding troubles.

As far as the Ailan family is concerned, it has been rooted in the Karo Kingdom for hundreds of years, during which the number of tribes reproduced has reached a huge number.

Such a large number of people is of course a good thing, but it is also a burden.

With the strength of the Ailan family, it is not enough to support many people.

After all, no matter how you say it, there is only one title of the Ailan family.

After all, once one's own territory is slowly divided, it will be fine in a short time, but as time goes by, the territory that the entire Ailan family can control will inevitably become smaller and smaller. In the end, it may even become a mass of loose sand.

At that time, the entire Ailan family will probably cease to exist.

Therefore, in order to avoid the development of this situation, it is impossible to divide the territory of the Ailan family. For those tribes who do not inherit the title, at least some financial support will be given.

But this kind of support is unlikely to be too much.

It is precisely because of this that, with the exception of a few members of the Ailan family represented by Siriv, most of the other distant relatives are actually not living very well.

In order to relocate these tribesmen, Silivus had thought of some methods in the past, such as arranging these people in his own territory to serve him.

But obviously, these are not enough.

Although his territory is not small, it is nothing compared to the huge number of people in the Ailan family.

The appearance of Chen Heng in front of him obviously brings new opportunities.

After the opponent goes to his own territory, whether it is to maintain the operation of the territory or other things, it needs people, especially trustworthy people, to help.

And these members of the Ailan family can also come in handy.

In a way, this is also a win-win situation.

Chen Heng got enough manpower, and those got a good opportunity.

It can be expected that with the continuous development of Chen Heng in front of him, he will surely have very good achievements in the future, and even the royal family will actively draw in.

Not to mention the future, just in front of him, he is already extremely powerful.

A Second Ring Warlock, a figure of this level of strength, can support a territory without a problem. Even if there is a big problem with orcs invading, it is enough to reap his own territory.

In Siriv's view, Chen Heng's future is destined to be bright.

So appropriate investment is also very necessary.

That's it right now.

Zhan Li, this is his biological child. Although he is not his eldest son, he is also a child that he values ​​very much, and is considered one of his favorite heirs.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you like, there is still only one title.

Furthermore, compared to his eldest son, Zhanli's performance is also very common, and he does not show the talent for life force.

For this reason, Silivus will arrange him under Chen Heng.

This is not only an investment, but also a care.

In Siriv's view, following Chen Heng in front of him is a low-risk and high-reward thing.

If his child performs well afterwards, he might be able to earn a title on his own.

So, after hearing Chen Heng's reply, Silivus also showed a smile on his face, and at this time he seemed a lot more relaxed.

In the room, they continued to chat for a while, and then they stood up and left this place silently.

Out of the room, Chen Heng had nothing else to do, and went straight back to his room.

At this moment, outside his room, a figure is standing there.

He was a fairly tall young man with an ordinary appearance and a long robe. He was standing outside the door of his room at the moment, as if he had been waiting there long ago.

As for this person, Chen Heng is no stranger.

"Zhanli......"

Standing on the spot, looking at the young man standing in front of him, Chen Heng's face looked a little surprised, and he couldn't help but smile: "What are you doing here?"

"Master Ector."

Listening to Chen Heng’s voice, Zhan Li immediately turned around, his face looked very respectful, with some faint excitement: "According to my father's instructions, I am here to wait for your instructions."

"Is this..."

Standing in place, listening to the other party's words, Chen Heng was thoughtful, but didn't say much about it, but just nodded: "Come with me."

The voice fell, he turned around, left from here, and walked towards the outside world.

Behind him, Zhan Li quickly stepped forward and followed Chen Heng.

It didn't take long for them to come to a spacious training ground.

It's still daytime, and the outside sun is shining brightly.

Under the faint sunlight, Hedosiri was holding a long sword on the training ground, carefully training other soldiers.

At this moment, after a few months, the number of soldiers under Chen Heng has increased again.

Now, including the two of Hedosiri, he has more than four hundred people on hand.

Calculating the number, it is even more than the army that Silif had on hand.

The sources of these soldiers are very complicated. Some were rescued during the previous raid and some captured prisoners.

But after simple tempering, these people look decent at the moment.

Standing in front of Chen Heng, Zhan Li looked at the soldiers trained in front of him, looking a little inexplicable.

"My lord..."

He tentatively spoke, wanting to know what Chen Heng had ordered.

"In the next period of time, you will join this group of people and be trained here with others."

In front of him, Chen Heng spoke again, looking at Zhan Li in front of him and said: "How, can it be done?"

To be trained here with ordinary soldiers?

Listening to this request, Zhanli was stunned subconsciously, and then quickly reacted, nodding his head repeatedly: "Yes, I can."

"Very good."

Listening to what he said, Chen Heng nodded in satisfaction, then after thinking for a while, he continued to speak: "In about a few days, I will leave this place and go to Khaki."

"After that, I will go to my own territory, I am afraid I will need a lot of manpower."

He looked at Zhanli in front of him, smiled and said, "Zhanli, I don’t know if you would do me a favor."

"In order to deal with the troubles that may be encountered in the future, I hope to recruit a group of people to help me complete the tasks in the future."

"Well, about ten people will do."

The voice fell, and Zhan Li in front of him was taken aback, and then he seemed to realize something quickly, and a smile of joy appeared on his face: "My lord, it's easy."

In the past few months, because of Chen Heng's actions, many people in this castle have understood his power.

Many people think that following such a powerful knight is a very honorable thing, and it is destined to be a good thing.

So, if Chen Heng is willing to open his mouth and say that he needs followers, I am afraid that many people will be willing.

This is also what Silif said before, to remind Chen Heng.

Nowadays, with his strength and status, it is not too much trouble to recruit a group of people.

Just like the two Hedosiri before.

Chen Heng recruited the two of them without any effort at all. He just showed part of his strength and the identity of the heirs of the bloodlines of the deities that may exist, so he asked them to take the initiative to step forward and bow their heads. , And even brought his own dry food, not only did not consume Chen Heng a little property, but took the initiative to hand over his property to Chen Heng for use.

The same goes for those soldiers.

As captives, they not only resisted Chen Heng's recruitment in the slightest, but immediately accepted the matter, and felt quite happy instead.

Why is this so?

Because they believe that following a strong man like him will definitely bring them rich returns in the future.

In this world, there have always been various legendary deeds, including some knights leading their followers to explore other areas, and finally establish a huge empire.

In fact, many countries in this world have indeed been established in this way.

Such deeds are widely circulated around the world, which brings them some clear expectations, making them believe that following Chen Heng, a strong man, can get rich returns in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Silivus worked so hard for him, and even took the initiative to put his children under Chen Heng's hands.

After realizing these facts, Chen Heng's thoughts began to change.

Judging from the current situation, he is indeed short of manpower on hand and urgently needs a group of people to assist him.

It's okay at the moment, but when I go to explore new territories later, I am afraid that people will be needed everywhere at that time.

Rather than work hard to recruit staff at that time, it's better to prepare now.

Standing on the spot, various thoughts flashed in Chen Heng's mind, thinking so at this time.

Before him, Zhanli received his order and was leaving confidently at the moment. It seemed that he was ready to find other targets.

Looking at him, Chen Heng shook his head secretly, and then left silently.

Zhan Li's speed is much faster than Chen Heng imagined.

It didn't take long for him to find ten people in just two or three days.

According to Chen Heng's expectation, most of these ten people are the group with nothing, and they are generally the second sons of wealthy families.

As the second sons, they are destined to be unable to inherit the title and property of the family, so if they want to get a good life, they can only rely on themselves to find opportunities.

In their view, Chen Heng in front of them is such an opportunity.

So, they came here, even a little impatient.

As for this group of people, Chen Heng only inspected it a little, and then agreed.

Zhan Li's vision is not bad.

Although most of them are second sons, they come from wealthy people. The basic qualities of these people are still qualified. Not to mention how strong they are, but at least they can master the writing.

For Chen Heng, this is enough.

It's not that his requirements are too low, but the conditions are limited, there is really no way.

Like any feudal society in the traditional sense, in this world, the literacy rate of ordinary people is still very low. This was the case in the past in the Kingdom of Makdo, and the same was true in the Kingdom of Kahlo. .

Even to a certain extent, the Karo Kingdom is even more serious in this regard because of the perennial wars and the ravages of the wilderness races.

Under this environment, being able to read, write proficiently, and master the corresponding format is pretty good.

At least being a low-level administrator should be no problem.

This thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind, thinking so at this time.

With the passing of time, soon, it will be half a month later.

At this time, Chen Heng handed over the things on hand to Lamu, and then took Hedosiri with him on the road to Khaki.

They walked slowly towards their goal, and along the way, they were also observing the scenery around them.

"The abandonment of land is very serious..."

Along the road, looking at the scenes everywhere, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind.

Compared with the Makdo Kingdom, the Karo Kingdom is sparsely populated, and its development is obviously not enough.

Along the road, many lands are not cultivated. Instead, they are left deserted and covered with weeds.

This is obviously a great waste.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Heng has already realized some problems.

Population, and food.

The sparse population in the Kingdom of Carlo means that it will be much more difficult for him to build his own territory in the future.

There is not enough population to support, even if you have the corresponding land, there is no way to fully cultivate it.

In a way, the population itself is a huge wealth.

Lack of population, there is no way to really cultivate the territory.

Compared to the population, the food problem is even more serious.

For a foreseeable period of time, they may not be able to produce their own food.

In this case, if they want to obtain food, I am afraid they can only obtain it from the outside world.

However, the land in the Kahlo Kingdom is so severely abandoned, and under the conditions of war, production activities will inevitably be destroyed accordingly.

In this case, how far will the price of food go up?

At this moment, Chen Heng frowned when he thought of this question.

It is very difficult to solve this problem simply by buying food.

Not to mention that they don’t have much money to buy food. Even if they have enough money, it is not a simple matter to buy a large amount of food from the market under the current circumstances.

At this moment, there is a shortage of food everywhere. I am afraid that many people will store food and are not willing to sell it at all.

The food surplus in the Kahlo Kingdom is probably quite limited.

It’s not easy to get food from this world.

So, this plan is probably not realistic.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng thought in his mind, and then a thought slowly flashed in his mind.

Noble.

If in the current situation, where can we find enough large amounts of food, then there are only those nobles.

Especially those nobles with territories.

Like the aboriginals in Chen Heng's previous life, the lords of this world also have the habit of storing food.

This is not only because it is necessary, but also because a large part of the tax they receive on weekdays is food.

They collect taxes from the people, and what they finally reap is all kinds of agricultural products.

And these things have a very unique characteristic.

During the harvest year, a large amount of grain appears, and it is often not easy to sell. Even if it is sold, the price is often very low.

But after the disaster, the prices of these things have risen, but those who have enough food on hand are reluctant to sell them.

Especially in this situation.

Those lords must have a lot of food in their hands.

It's like Silivus.

During these months, the soldiers under Chen Heng have been supported by Siliv's territory.

But even so, the pressure didn't seem to be too much for Siriv.

From this perspective, something can be seen.

If you directly target this group, things may be easier.

The only question is how to get food out of this group of people by Chen Heng.

It's not easy to count on this group of people to bleed.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

In the ensuing time, as they inspected, they slowly moved forward towards Khaki.

Finally, after a few more days, they arrived in the city.

Outside the huge city, a thick wall surrounds the entire city.

With Hedosili, Chen Heng walked on this street.

Compared with other cities in the world, this city does not seem to have a big problem. On the street, pedestrians are walking on the road, although many people are in a hurry and their faces are solemn. At least there is no tragic situation elsewhere.

At this moment, with the beginning of the disaster, many people everywhere are no longer able to survive and become slaves everywhere.

However, this kind of situation is very rare in this city.

Looking like this, although the disaster has come and it has had a very far-reaching impact, for the time being, it has not caused much pressure on the city.

In this regard, Chen Heng just looked at this. After a long time, he turned around and returned to his residence~IndoMTL.com~The residence where he was located was arranged for him by the Royal Family of Carlos. Spacious manor.

The manor is very spacious. Although it looks a bit dilapidated, at least it is no problem to house Chen Heng and his group.

Chen Heng walked in this area just like this, observing everywhere.

From his point of view, the city of Khaki is actually quite ordinary, not to mention many cities that he has seen before, even if compared to some cities in the Kingdom of Makdo, it is a lot worse.

However, relatively speaking, perhaps because of the fact that it is standing in the wasteland and bordering foreign races, the city's defenses are fairly good. Not only is the city wall built very tall, but the defense facilities everywhere are also perfect.

Outside the city, there are several other small fortresses surrounding the city.
