The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich Chapter 651: Trouble
The Carrett Plain is also a scene of winter and depression. The grassland already is yellow and foraging wolves are wandering around. You can still hear roars of beasts not far, but compared with the sky-high glaciers not long ago, But already is almost heaven. + ◆,
Heret Snow Mountain is not far behind. Looking back, you can see the ice wall straight into the clouds, and the snow-capped Daxue Mountain can't see the border at a glance.
On the grasslands, the Elfs formed a mighty convoy, moving slowly and resolutely to the north.
Most of Elf must walk, and the mighty brigade travels very slowly.
A small number of horse-drawn carriages and big-bird carriages are either loaded with serious injuries, or they are filled with supplies such as medicines, drugs, and food.
Normal's inanimate matter can also be placed in the city of Yongye. Once the food and supplies to be imported are corroded by negative energy, the user may become undead.
From time to time, there are lightly wounded and children who can't move anymore and are dragged away by others. There is a faint cry in the procession. Maybe this is because the survivors have been paralyzed by fear and despair, When finally in a safe area, the sorrow of losing their homes and loved ones can't stop coming.
Even though the floating fleet is slowly moving above the sky and the gunfire already is driving away the beasts near the convoy, those Elf flying wing horses and horn knights still cruise through the clouds, even if these empty knights and their mounts They are all wounded. Maybe they want to find some work to do, so as not to spend too much time thinking about it and indulge in sorrow and despair.
Perhaps the end of the Elf gods' destruction is enjoyed by the Main Realm clan. It is also the best choice for the Elf clan who stayed in the world to face the future, but for the Elf clan of Normal. It doesn't make sense to see too far. They have just lost their homes and ethnic refugees to war. They were crying sadly because they had lost everything in the past.
The whole team is faintly covered by the gray mourning atmosphere, and the sound of weeping and sighing is endless, but we have no intention to interfere. If the sadness cannot be released, it will become more trouble.
Perhaps the first target already on the Demon side was completed, or the Elf gods already were unexpected perfect sacrifices, maybe the magic tide was more chaotic than expected, and the chase we encountered was slightly less than expected many. And soon, the latest battle reports given by the little fairies told us that the real greed tide is enjoying the new prey.
"Duke Duven is dead? Just one day?"
"To be precise, it took 18 hours and 40 minutes to cross the border from the magic tide and arrive at Nattis to break through the national gate of King city. Although it is only a small country with three cities with a population of nearly one million, it is indeed Destruction is beyond imagination. "
It seems that even after the consumption of Elf, the magic tide and Danatis are still not able to cope with the small country of Normal, and if I remember correctly, in order to avoid catching fire. That country should have rejected our previous application for admission, but the results were generally the same.
I'm lying in bed. Strive to focus on the scenery outside the window, but ...
"Is there any latest information and government affairs to be handled? Is there anything new in the Demon abyss in the North?"
"There is no new news in the North, but it is probably due to the outbreak of the war. In just two days, the average price of inland winter grains has increased by 30% ..."
The noise in my ears, and those enthusiastic gazes, finally made me helplessly give up the plan to ignore the others in his room and concentrate on laziness.
"Reyne, can't the patient take a good rest?"
I am still unable to act. I am lying in the medical room of Northern Light Hao. The room is full of the smell of herbs and Alchemy elixir, and the overdraft after the release of the curse is released. Compared with Holy Light, which is more overdraft, I still prefer the slower effect. But there is no natural remedy for sequelae, and bandage therapy infiltrated with mana restorer, but the secret technique for treating mana overdraft.
The small medical room actually has a desk in already. Reyne unceremoniously chooses to work here, and her princess, Ivy Marceau from the Solo Federation, also handles government affairs here.
In the early morning, Reyne brought her administrative team to work here. Considering that she is more diligent but limited in work style than me, now most of them want to find someone to shake the pot.
"I know you're busy. Go to your captain's room. What does it mean to interrupt the patient's rest here?"
"You just tied yourself into a mummy, it does not mean that you are really injured. The doctor said that you can handle government affairs. If you have time to read the machine repair manual, you might as well do something serious, such as giving us something Opinion. By the way, your dwarf mechanic manual is reversed.
I quickly turned the manual over, but the little girl's "Puchi" snickers told me that I was accidentally misled.
Yes, I know what engineering is there. Although I know some dwarf words, the machine repair manual full of engineering terms is also incomprehensible. Now I pretend to concentrate on reading, but just find a reason to refuse to work.
I dropped the book helplessly. At this point, I was holding on to it. It was really ugly, but I still mumbled in my mouth.
"You have done a good job all these years. You have been on your own, but what are our old bones doing? We should have retired."
The complaining was not overwhelmed, but was still heard. Reyne shook his head directly.
"At least, I should let you know the recent changes in the north. Also, you are a true‘ prophet ’. Do n’t squeeze it out .... I mean to ask, it ’s a bit wasteful.”
The prophet? Oh, the original set of Huyou Gentleman Alliance was taken seriously, but in a sense I did have the ability to predict "history", but now "history" already has changed so much, there are not many things that can "predict" already Already.
"... Don't expect too much from me, especially things from the Northland. To predict this thing, as long as you bring bullshit to the prophet itself, you can't do it at all. Northland and I are too deep in bullshit. No idea. "
This is not pure Hu bullshit. The history of Northland Holy War was much worse than it is now. Without Karwenz and me, there would be no revival of Lan State and the establishment of Mist Alliance. The strongest north Beastfolk directly occupied that land.
Three hundred years. Enough for them to completely occupy the North. Cooperating with the counterattack of the underground world, defeated the Northland Moon Elf Kingdom. It even won the historical praise of the Beastfolk revival. It was not until the Demon swept the entire realm that it ended the final glory of the Northland Beastfolk.
I didn't lie. The development of this "history" is too much for me to involve bullshit. It has long been beyond recognition, and what can be predicted.
Probably my "believe is not good, but believe is not good, you can be a man but you can't be a man" rhetoric is too much like a street wanderer on the street, the little girl from the Solo Federation laughed out loud. The smiley squinting expression made it clear that he didn't believe it.
It was Reyne, as always, trusting me too much, hearing the meaning of rejection in my words was not very firm, with a smile on his face, and playing with the snake.
"Then you promised us pointers, Katy, go ahead and report."
So, the prickly year-old administrative officer continued his report.
".... The increase in winter grains has exceeded the dangerous value of 30% in just a few days. There has been a surge in domestic already, and the opinions of the joint meeting of logistics ministers of Mist Alliance countries. It is our current grain reserve. It ’s sufficient. Countries should open their treasuries. Balance prices and stabilize people ’s hearts.
Although the Mist Alliance is an alliance of dozens of countries, the Lan family is too big in it, and the voice of Reyne is extremely high. Even if the domestic already agrees, it is still necessary to let this The crown emperor came to confirm.
"I have read the inventory data of the reserve grain, and judging from the current consumption, there will be no problem in the autumn harvest next year."
Ivy Marsau ’s father is a member of the Federal Republic of Solo. She was raised as a politician's descendant since she was a child. She is now doing her best for Reyne as a consort.
Seeing that everyone is nodding around, Reyne is about to give permission, but I finally can't stand it anymore.
"Do n’t talk about the grain now. You should open all the warehouses now and collect the grain with all your strength."
As soon as I exited, I overturned the already order. All the government officials in the room looked at me. The dissatisfaction and unhappiness were needless to say. There was no refutation on the spot. Maybe I still saw the the reason.
".... If I haven't guessed wrongly, the price of food will skyrocket for quite a long time from now. Have you not read the latest news? San Antonio, the country's first food exporter, has been involved. Holy War, and as long as their emperor ’s head is not in trouble, even if the export volume next year is not zero, it will be greatly reduced, and the surge in food prices is predictable.
San Antonio empire occupied the original sacred place of Beastfolk. It is said that if you just scatter wheat, you will be able to harvest the golden plains of wheat fields next year. The annual grain is not only enough for their domestic use, but the surplus is naturally used for export.
Even though Holy War will not affect the production area of San Antonio, agricultural exporting countries during the war, even if they have enough food, will still store excess food crops as war reserves, and a large-scale decline in exports in the coming year can be expected.
"We have considered already, but our grain imports are mainly Beyer and Auland. Even if the price of grain will also be affected by fluctuations, it is expected that we can cope."
As the chief assistant officer of Reyne, for my judgment, Ivy, who has a special status, did not conceal her dissatisfaction. From the expressions of other administrative staff, they also agreed with Ivy's judgment.
I'm stuck, but I'm not convinced, but I don't know how to explain the sinister heartbreaker, the traitor cannibalism, and a large number of bad businessmen are waiting for speculation, waiting for the war money and the country's troubled money, which is not good. Explaining that no matter how they estimate, they have underestimated the intensity and duration of Holy War. As long as they fight for a long time, the price of food will naturally rise again.
Although there are several Superior cold-resistant crops in the North due to the help of Aemila, considering the weather and barren land in the North, there is a sharp increase in population after the formation of Mist Alliance, even if it has been promoted in recent years The cultivation of cold-resistant crops still has a lot of food shortages each year.
Of course, this can be solved. Although the last selected cold-resistant wheat looks a bit like a man-eating flower, it tastes weird and has a smell of soil, but it is not a magic plant, non-toxic and harmless. Can't eat anyone.
Although the planting conditions are too poor and the yield per mu is relatively low, most of the north is wasteland and labor. As long as the planting area is increased and the grain output is increased, balance can be reached in the end. Those who have a single taste and are not nutritious. Balanced rich people can naturally buy grain elsewhere.
For Mist Alliance officials, it is too luxurious to be picky about the taste of food, which can ensure that the barren north does not starve to death. already is a historical achievement of Tianda.
Everyone knows that this is a major event. For the past eight years, the young people who apply to become cultivators each year are the most honorable. The number of fields around the city is skyrocketing, and the grain output in the north is indeed skyrocketing.
And the Correct year-on-year crazy increase in food production has caused these administrative officials to miscalculate the future direction, and feel that as long as it lasts for a while, the food can reach a self-sufficient balance, but I know that Holy War will not allow them to easily survive that day. Yes, as long as Mist Alliance still needs one day for food imports, the countries in the north must store grain on a large scale. Maybe when Holy War enters the hot period, there will be no food trading existence on the international market.
I was silent for a while and organized my speech.
"How do you ensure that neither Beyer nor Auland will be involved in Holy War again next year?"
"How is it possible ..."
Negative words are halfway through, but Ai Wei wants to say how common is possible by common sense, but thinks that no one can make such a guarantee, and no one can predict the progress of Holy War.
"Also, you may not have experienced a world war-level war. In the event of a problem in a food-producing country, it will have a psychological impact on the entire international food market. Other countries will start to buy food instead of exporting. , The increase in international food prices is predictable. In addition, there may be situations where there is a price but no market. "
The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible. There are no international organizations that maintain balance in the world. If transnational traitors and agents with national background really start to speculate on food prices, it is possible that food will become more expensive than gold in the end. of.
"Well, let's decide this way. This year, we will open up to buy grain instead of producing grain."
Reyne made the decision directly, but Ivy was in a hurry.
"But the domestic food market is in short supply, and the lack of winter food will affect people's hearts and cause panic."
Reyne looked at me, and I shrugged. I was very good at dealing with this kind of thing, but it certainly wouldn't be the normal method of Ping Ankang.
"Increase by 30% in two days. Do you believe that there are no traitors? Copy all those traitors, and take out the stock to balance the price. Yes, if this is not easy for you, throw it to Dark Elf, they all It is a good hand, and he promises to grasp one and one, and even his ancestors will explain clearly in the eighteenth generation. "
Obviously, this is not the normal way of handling. Random copying of wealthy businessmen will even scare businessmen, and maybe let those businessmen choose to relocate and transfer property. In the long run, there will be endless troubles, but ...
"Now already is during the war, and the treatment in the peace era will only make those traitors look down on you, and it is better to kill chickens and tamarins than to continue to block them. Oh, the era of feudal kingship was convenient, and no need to find evidence. "
I was too fierce, but nodded Reyne.
She knows that I am not a killer, and I can even say that I am tired of killing, but at this time, I have adopted such a radical approach. Naturally there are reasons, and she also guessed something.
".... Northland, will we also face war?"
Since it is during the war, the fierce treatment can be understood. When I heard Reyne asking, I laughed. She is too young and too despise the Holy War that will sweep the entire realm.
"No, not the Northland is about to face war, but the whole world already is at war. Every race, every country, a region, every individual can face the test of war. You die, maybe I Die, or end up in the same Holy War. "
The sensational words already say, I don't care about their response. It doesn't matter whether they believe or nonsense, but since already speaks, I am also interested.
"Boy, keep reporting, let me see how your descendants are doing." (To be continued.)
