Chapter Seventy-Six: What Are You Kidding?

After a while, the previous official ran over to Heri and said that the meeting was ready.

Hiri nodded expressionlessly.

As the current leader of Noonan, even if Ciri is very worried, he can't show it.

With Yang Chen with him, Ciri pushed open the door of the conference room.

Ciri sat directly at the head of the conference table, flanked by the officials of the Government Department and the alchemists currently in Cecil City.

When Yang Chen saw Xili sitting down, he originally felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to stand next to Xili in a daze, but then Xili asked someone to bring a chair to her left and motioned for Yang Chen to sit down.

Seeing this scene, everyone who lowered their heads to listen couldn't help but talk about it, and the faces of the officials and alchemists at the conference table also changed slightly.

On Ciri's left hand side are all famous alchemists, including Wayne, the president of the Alchemy Guild, and Kraba from the Blue Moon Firm.

Both of them were experienced alchemists in their sixties, and they were both master-level figures, and it was still a little uncomfortable to see Xili let Yang Chen, a young man in his twenties, sit at the top of this column.

But it's uncomfortable, but I didn't make trouble on this occasion, they are all master-level figures, so naturally they still have some minds and know which is more important.

The two masters didn't care, but the people who were listening on the side were in a hurry, and someone stood up directly and asked Xili angrily.

"Miss Ciri, why do you want that kid to sit in the first place, and what qualifications does he have to be with several masters?"

Ciri glanced at the man, looked around for another week, and saw that most people were talking.

However, when everyone saw Ciri's eyes, coupled with Ciri's momentum as a senior warrior, they were all a little scared, and they didn't speak silently for a while, and the whole conference room was a little quiet for a while.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Ciri nodded in satisfaction.

"Guards, get this guy out!"

"Yes!" Ciri gave an order, and the soldiers who were maintaining order at the scene directly put the young alchemist out who had questioned him before!

"Let go of me, let go of me, do you know who I am? I am ......."

As the young alchemist's voice grew weaker and weaker, the entire hall became quieter and quieter.

"Okay, today we're going to talk about how to deal with this disaster...... First of all, let our Chief Archon talk to you about the magical message coming from Ciro City......"

Yang Chen was still a little interested at first, but it turned out that it was the same thing he and Ciri had heard in Cerrot's office before, so he instantly didn't want to listen to it anymore.

Sneaking a glance at everyone, he began to silently carry his qi and blood, cultivating his internal strength.

After a while, Serrot finished reporting the current locust plague in the Midwestern Plains to everyone, and for a while everyone present had a solemn face, although they had heard that this disaster was serious before they came, but they still didn't expect it to be so terrible, and if they were not careful, the entire Noonan would fall into a riot.

"Okay, what do you think you can start talking about......" Ciri decided to brainstorm and see what good solutions were available first.

When everyone heard Ciri say this, they all looked at each other for a while, and they were prepared in advance, so that they would not be unable to say a word, but this time the disaster was so serious that they were all a little flustered.

"Lord Healy, I'll start with my opinion. "CEO Serrot spoke up, and as an archon, this is the time to naturally bear the brunt.

"This disaster is very serious, but our first consideration is not how to survive the disaster, but to ensure the supply of food and materials for the Blackstone Fortress first!"

Serrot looked around and said, "Everyone here knows the importance of Black Rock City, to put it mildly, the purpose of our Noonan existence in the first place was to defend the orcs!

Ciri frowned slightly, but did not offer a rebuttal. Because what Serrot said is the truth, in the early days of the empire, the major elector families were the most powerful families besides the royal family, and they had the power to abolish and remove the emperor, and naturally they also had the obligation to defend the empire!

After a pause, Serrot continued. "If the Blackstone Fortress is breached, you and I know the consequences after that. Maybe the orcs won't directly hit Cecil City, but what will the imperial capital think? In the past hundred years, our Noonan has been like an independent territory, and the reason why the imperial capital didn't take strong measures and let us directly attach it is that in addition to the empire's energy being busy developing other worlds, there is a more important reason that the empire is also willing to let the Cecil family let Nonan guard the border of the empire!"

"So, the first point I want to make is to mobilize food to ensure the supply of the Blackstone Fortress first, which is a higher priority than those refugees under the locust plague!"

"Do you have any dissenting opinions on this point of view put forward by Serrot?" asked Ciri after Serrot formally proposed the first plan, while his eyes were still scanning the many aristocratic representatives listening below!

Ciri, very clearly, don't look at the conference table is full of officials, but the real thing is to get the support of the entire Noonan nobles!

Noonan's entire aristocratic system is a little different from that of the empire, although the nobles have territories, they have no right to govern their own territories, and the Nonan government department is responsible for directly appointing officials to govern.

But it's not that the aristocracy has no power at all, in fact, because of the popularity of education in this world, most of the officials are from the nobility, plus the aristocracy has the right to pay taxes on the territory and directly to their own land, and in addition, each family has its own private army, in short, in Noonan, it is still the nobility who has the final say.

Although everyone was talking about it below, no one raised any objections.

Ciri glanced at it, then nodded, motioning for Cerrot to continue.

"Secondly, I propose that the localities deliver the food in proportion to last year's output. At that time, the government affairs department will directly send people to Xiluo City to be responsible for supervision, if any area does not deliver grain to the disaster area, or there is a shortage of food, the government affairs department officials will record it one by one, and make corresponding rewards and punishments at the end of the year!"

"Is that objectionable?" asked Ciri again.

The officials and representatives of the nobility were also discussing for a while, but this time, after a while, some of the nobles' spokesmen voiced their different opinions.

"Lord Ciri, Archon of Serrot, I and the Sauron family I represent behind it naturally support the order of the Government Council, but our Sauron family's territory is far away in the easternmost part of Noonan, and it is much farther away from Ciro City than other places, so the food loss along the way will be much greater than that of other places, so it is inevitable that there will be some food shortages!"

Serrot nodded, "This is something that our government department has not thought through, and we will adjust it accordingly later." ”

"Still have questions?" asked Ciri.

"No, Lord Ciri......" said the man from House Sauron and sat down again.

"Alright, next!" Ciri motioned for Serrot to continue......

"The third point ......"

"Fourth point ......"

......

"Questions?"

"Article 5 ......"

......

With the passage of time, the response to the locust plague has also been improved little by little under the consultation of everyone!

Yang Chen was also a little drowsy when he listened to it, saying that he was dealing with things, but in fact, it was a dispute between various nobles, which was very boring.

......

"Okay, this meeting is here, please go down and implement it well! Finally, please stay for a while!"

Ciri clapped her hands and signaled that the meeting was over and she could leave.

For a while, the officials were responsible for issuing instructions and implementing relevant policies, and the spokesmen of the nobles returned to the contact point to either directly teleport by magic or send letters through flying magical beasts to inform their territories of the content of the meeting.

In the end, there were only a few dozen alchemists in robes left in the entire conference room!

Ciri clapped her hands and said, reassigning her seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this disaster is extremely serious, and you have just discovered that with the current food reserves, we will not be able to help the victims survive this catastrophe! ”

Ciri looked around and said solemnly, "I know that you all have good attainments in alchemy, so I want to ask you alone if there is any good way to get rid of this wanton locust plague!"

Hearing Ciri's words, all the alchemists were embarrassed......

With their abilities, making a potion that can kill locusts is nothing, but such a large scale still makes everyone a little more than they can do......

If it's just a few acres of land, it's okay, but now it's a vast area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers......

Alchemy elixir is already precious, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers are really ......

Moreover, it is difficult to ensure the safety of food crops and farmers!

Seeing that the alchemists were helpless, Ciri's heart gradually sank, although some alternatives had been discussed just now, and even the worst emergency plan had been prepared, but the thought of tens of millions of people would be displaced, Ciri was very uncomfortable.

"Master Wayne, Master Crabbar, can't even you two do anything?" asked Ciri.

The two glanced at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed, and in the end, Wayne spoke first.

"Before leaving, I already asked my assistant to find the various potions collected by the Alchemy Guild, maybe there will be some way to ......"

Ciary knew that Wayne was only comforting himself, but as a leader, he must not pin his hopes on these illusory things......!

"You don't need to comfort me, this disaster is really the worst in hundreds of years! I have consulted the relevant history books and classics, and I have never encountered such a large-scale locust plague......"

Ciri took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "However, I still plead with you here, I hope that you can start researching the relevant potions from now on, and the Nonan Government Council will cooperate with the power!"

"Miss Ciri doesn't have to worry too much, at present, it's not that there is no potion to eliminate the locust plague, it's just that the materials are more precious and can't be popularized on a large scale, so many people are present, the price of raw materials can still be greatly reduced, and large-scale use can be realized! It's just that it will take more than ten days for the experiment to come out...... Plus production and use, at least a month!"

"A month?" Ciri was a little worried, but there was nothing else he could do, although a month was a little longer, but it was still much better than no harvest......

"Why don't you take the opportunity to raise more chickens and ducks?" Yang Chen on the side expressed his opinion......

What are you kidding? No one has anything to eat, and they still raise chickens and ducks?
