Online Game: Island War

Not long after, the volcanic rice was cooked and served. Lei Jiu tasted a few mouthfuls. It had a different taste from the rice, but the taste was really good.

He is very satisfied with the grain of volcanic rice.

In recent years, due to the abundant water resources on Huanghuang Island compared to the beginning of the game, the area of ​​rice planting has continued to expand, and the staple food of the islanders, the high proportion of corn, has been declining.

Rice, white flour, and cornmeal are the three staple foods in a tripartite confrontation.

In terms of nutritional value, corn is not inferior to the previous two, but in terms of the taste as a staple food, corn is still a bit worse.

Of course, the planting area of ​​corn will not continue to decline, because Lei Jiu has a plan to develop aquaculture, and corn will be the main source of feed for aquaculture.

Although the taste of volcanic rice is different from that of rice, some islanders who have become accustomed to eating "rice" as a staple food will easily fall in love with this new foreign food.

Hmm~!

The premise is that he has to deal with the water spirit boy group first, and get the right to trade volcanic rice from them.

The entire negotiation process was relatively smooth. For this group of water spirit children, Huanghuang Island is much closer than the big family in the sea tens of thousands of kilometers away.

And the price offered by Lei Jiu is also more attractive.

In fact, Lei Jiu didn't increase or decrease the price of the volcanic rice or the selling price of the ore the other party needed.

He had already planned to make a loss-making deal in order to obtain grain input, but he didn't expect that the other party was delighted and shocked just by offering a price that he didn't profit from.

It seems that in the previous transactions, these water spirit boys were exploited quite severely.

Lei Jiu didn't care about the higher price. Instead of earning some price difference, he was more willing to use these profit margins to increase the trading enthusiasm of the water spirit boys.

Of course, given that the current price has made the other party ecstatic, he will definitely not continue to increase the price.

It's right to increase the enthusiasm of the other party, but he can't be taken advantage of.

These water spirit boys,

Claiming to be a small ethnic group in the nearby sea area, with a population of only a few hundred million, they are in a miserable situation where anyone can bully them.

Hearing the other party's self-report, Lei Jiu felt at ease in the other party's ability to output volcano rice, but also wanted to ask the other party if he had misunderstood the definition of a small group?

A small group with a population of hundreds of millions?

What do you think of the vampires and cyclops with only single digits on the island?

However, considering the size of the biomes in the ocean, he was relieved.

The reason why the Shui Lingtong group is a small group is not because they are too weak, but because the sea is too scary!

From this, we can roughly see how terrifying the three deep sea forces will be. If the Mermaid Empire wants to kill Huanghuang Island, it will be difficult for them to resist!

At this time, Lei Jiu realized that his previous thoughts were a little optimistic.

After inviting the God of the Ocean from the main position, there is no need for the God of the Ocean Temple of the Deep Sea Mermaid Empire to go crazy. As long as some high-level officials express their dissatisfaction with Huanghuang Island, there will probably be countless forces and groups who have nowhere to flatter. Bite Huanghuang Island fiercely, right?

Maybe the Mermaid Empire really won't take any action, but as long as some important people inadvertently express some dissatisfaction with Huanghuang Island, it will be enough for Lei Jiu to suffer.

For these uncertain factors, Lei Jiu has no good solution. Everything is due to the weakness of strength. If Huanghuang Island is strong enough, there is no need to worry about these. For the time being, he can only take one step at a time, and the soldiers will cover up the water and the soil.

In the end, the content of the transaction finalized by both parties is that Shui Lingtong will exchange ore with Huanghuang Island to meet the food consumption of 50 million people. The transaction will be carried out once a month, and the cooperation will be carried out for one year in advance.

One year later, the two sides will negotiate the follow-up terms of cooperation.

In fact, within two years, Lei Jiu was not too worried that the other party would reject the deal.

For one thing, the price Lei Jiu offered was generous, and he didn't make a profit from it. The price was much more conscientious than those big families in the sea.

Secondly, within two years, Huanghuang Island's moving distance will not exceed 9,000 kilometers. The transportation pressure of the Shui Lingtong clan is not very high, and it is more cost-effective than transporting to those big clans.

In the end, before the two-year natural disaster passed, Lei Jiu did not intend to merge Chen Island and Dijiang Temple into Huanghuang Island, and push the God of the Sea from the main seat.

After finalizing the specific transaction date, Lei Jiu personally went to Jiuhuang City to issue a mission to purchase the ore for the transaction.

The torrential rain that swept across Huanghuang Island a while ago did not have a big impact on Jiuhuang City.

Because the location is relatively high, floods and the like will not disturb the vicinity at all.

However, the persistent drought and the higher temperature than in previous years made the adventurers uncomfortable.

Purchased a large amount of volcanic rice from Shui Lingtong, together with the one-year rations for half of the adventurers that he bought earlier, plus the food stored on Huanghuang Island before, Lei Jiu no longer needed to worry about food during the two years of natural disasters up.

If the impact of natural disasters on agriculture only lasts for two years, Huanghuang Island does not even need to restrict the supply of food.

Hmm~!

In this way, it is necessary to find another way to consume the large amount of seafood caught every day.

Gensokyo Island is a good place to go, but with the population of Yuyuko, it cannot absorb such a large production.

Although there are only a few dozen fishing boats in total, these are not very modern fishing boats, and the daily harvest is actually exaggerated.

Especially for the 20 fishing boats hired from the Ninth Chamber of Commerce, Lei Jiu deliberately selected the model with the most catches.

Because of the advantages of being able to operate in the sea and having a larger hull, the output is quite astonishing.

After thinking about it, Lei Jiu felt that these seafood could be processed, and then transported to other player islands by adventurers at a high price, so as to earn part of the profits to subsidize consumption.

After all, although the purchase price of volcanic rice is not high, it is enough to consume 50 million people, and on average, they can get a lot of gold coins every day.

Right now, Huanghuang Island is still in a disaster period, and there are many places that need to be invested.

This will also reduce some of the financial burden.

As for whether the set price will attract curses from other island owners, and therefore get comments like "black heart" and "vampire", Lei Jiu doesn't really care.

In this environment where food is life and the islanders have to face the pressure of starving to death every day, even if the price is set higher, as long as he can guarantee the supply, it will still be regarded as a great merit.

What?

If you don't sell it, let a large number of people starve to death on other islands, weakening their competitiveness in disguise?

Come on, with so many players, the little food he sells won't affect the overall situation at all. If he does this, it's more like he's struggling with money, and Lei Jiu will suffer even more.

After all, when seafood leaves from Nine Glory City, not all of them will flow to a certain player island. Once dispersed, these seemingly large amounts of food will not affect the overall situation.

There is not much difference between starving to death of 1 million people on an island and starving to death of 990,000 people...
