Fairy Tale World: Inherit the Sin of Pride at the Beginning

Chapter 171 Food Crisis!!!

“Brandon, I still have a task for you!”

Rhodes continued.

“Let me tell you the truth, the population of Changkong Village is increasing, and the food reserves are insufficient. The hunting and entering the jungle to find food as before is no longer sustainable, and it will take three months for the fields to be harvested. Relying on the food supplied by the caravans that occasionally come here is simply a drop in the bucket.”

“At the same time, our Changkong Village needs to be strong. If we want to turn Changkong Village into a castle, we need enough stones, and we need enough war horses to form our own knights!”

“You need to pay attention to these things, food is the top priority!”

Rhodes said seriously. The food problem in Changkong Village has always been a headache for him.

“Yes, Lord, I will pay attention!”

Brandon nodded solemnly.

“Well, that’s it for now. You go out first and select members to prepare for the caravan work.”

Rhodes waved his hand.

“As you command, Lord!”

Brandon slowly walked out of the Lord’s Mansion. Looking at the sky outside the door, he felt particularly beautiful.

He never dreamed that one day he would return to his old business. What’s even more interesting is that this time he would lead the caravan again. There will be products for sale that he never thought of before.

Brandon maintained his cheerful mood and walked straight to the iron ore. He wanted to test the iron ore first and then make a selection.

And he also had to select. Guard, he may be busy with some things next, but he only feels excited

“Wright, please tell me specifically how long our food reserves are left!”

Rhodes looked at Wright in front of him, his face full of seriousness.

In fact, he only knew that Changkong Village’s food reserves had been very short due to the rapid growth of the population during this period, but he didn’t have a specific idea.

At the beginning , with a population of only a few dozen people, they can still survive by hunting and wild fruits in the nearby forests, but now that Changkong Village has a large population, it is no longer possible to continue to do so. And even if it can really be maintained, relying on such Eating food will only prevent refugees from coming to Changkong Village in the future. In the end, the gains outweigh the losses.

“Let me tell you, Lord, we have about 13,000 kilograms of food left in Changkong Village, which is only enough for everyone to live for about 15 days!”

Wright said directly that food has always been a concern for him, and he was always calculating consumption in his mind.

“15 days?”

Rhode was a little surprised.

“But during this period we can still get some food through the previous means, so it can last for nearly a month, but this is already our limit!”

Wright sighed.

“A month?”

Rhodes pondered, tapping his fingers lightly on the chair.

One month is not long, but it is not short either. The only drawback is that it will take three more months for Changkong Village to achieve self-sufficiency in grain harvest. Month, the two extra months seemed very serious.

Food is the most important thing. If Changkong Village had no food supply, Rhodes would not dare to think about what would happen afterwards. There was no way he could put Changkong The future of the village is entrusted to Brandon’s caravan. Although he ordered him so, he did not really count on him.

After all, the caravan is likely to have various accidents on the way, which itself is full of risks. , and secondly, even if there is no accident in the caravan itself, it may not be able to make it back in time despite the long journey.

Far water cannot save the nearby fire. When the time comes, I buy food and come back and find that a lot of people in Changkong Village have long since starved to death. It really became everyone’s laughing stock.

Secondly, now that the Skart Empire is full of wars, food has become a very important resource. Every city is hoarding food like crazy. It is still unknown how much the Sky Caravan can actually acquire.

According to what Rhodes knows, not to mention other things, the price of food in the nearby Falcon City has increased more than ten times than before! It is extremely difficult to buy food in large quantities under such circumstances.

“well……”

Rhodes sighed and felt his brain hurt for a moment. It is not easy to manage a village well!

Wright was also speechless. He had thought about it a lot during this period, but he still could not find a good solution.

“If I had known that I would have asked for more food when I asked Falcon City for compensation!”

Rhodes slapped the table, full of regret, but it’s too late to say anything now.

If he had asked for food in the first place, Falcon City would definitely have given it to him, maybe not much, but he could still do it by asking Changkong Village to persist until the food could be harvested. Yes, but it’s impossible to get it now.

Even if you have money now, you can’t buy food. In troubled times, there is no difference between food and gold.

“Lord, don’t worry too much, things will eventually be solved!”

Wright saw Rhodes looking a little impatient and quickly comforted him.

“Alas…that’s all!”

Rhodes waved his hand.

“Report!”

At this moment, a guard came in and knelt down on one knee towards Rhodes with a respectful look on his face.

“whats the matter?”

Rhodes asked

“A group of people came from outside the village, including fifteen knights and a middle-aged man on horseback. They claimed to be the envoys of Silvermoon City and came under the order of Count Okarlos!”

The guard’s voice was a little flustered and nervous. After all, this was the first time he came into contact with the count’s rank. The

Scat Empire was huge and there were many nobles, and the nobles were divided from top to bottom into Duke 1, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, Knight’s Day.

The lowest noble is the knight. To be precise, the knight is more like a symbol of honor. Most nobles with territories can receive the status of a baron, and then there is the viscount, which is like occupying a castle. Milak, the lord of Falcon City, is a viscount.

Earls are already great nobles in the empire. They often have huge armies and vassals of multiple castles, and they can be regarded as vassals. Marquises used to have essentially the same status as earls. Originally, he was just a count sent to the border, but as time went by, he gradually became one level higher than the count.

The power of the marquis is generally enough to match their status, but they are not much stronger than the count.

As for the duke, That can be said to be the truly absolute top level of the Skart Empire.

Each duke even has the ability to establish a principality, which is definitely stronger than the surrounding small countries, and there are very few in the empire.

For example, there is a duke in the eastern border of the empire——Bloss The Duke, his side is almost unparalleled in the eastern part of the empire.

The two princes and the princess tried their best to win over him, but the Duke of Bros did not join any faction and maintained his independence.

Because his strength lies here, No one dared to say anything, and the royal family also showed courtesy to him…
