The reason why she was so out of shape was because the news about the goblins in front of her was not good news, at least this news disrupted Semiramis's previous plan, so that she had to focus part of her energy on the war in the north, of course, she didn't know the news about the unrest in Scandinavia, and she didn't know that Barusenge and his children were now being sent into the abyss of death by Siegel one by one.

If this news reaches Jutland, then the so-called City of Peace will have to personally break the peace and launch a mobilization order for war, because at that time, the situation in the north will be turbulent, and Jutland will most likely have to face the attack of Atila alone, and there is a high probability that the name of [Scandinavian Empire] will be added to the future enemies.

The news brought by the goblins is about the north, the information of the Attila and the rebel war, even if there is the addition of Atilla and Famine, they still have no way to quickly solve the rebel forces with superior forces, although they have won a few battles on the frontal battlefield, but the losses suffered by the defeated rebels are far from reaching the stage of breaking the bones, they have to distinguish the winners and losers, and analyze them from the intelligence, it will take a long time, at least before the end of this winter this year, there will be no final result.

The violent snowstorm and cold weather have turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse that kills lives, but they also limit the scale of the battle to a certain range.

Of course, this news did not move Semiramis, what really troubled her was that a large group of centaurs of more than a thousand men had broken through Attila's army and came to the southern regions, Finland, Karelia and other places, all within the attack range of this large group of centaurs, and more than a dozen tribes had been broken by these centaurs.

Elderly people, children, and women alike were brutally killed, and in addition to attacking the tribes of Attila, these centaurs also did not spare the goblin merchants who traveled among the tribes, and the guards of the trolls and ogres were defeated by these organized centaurs, and countless supplies that should have been transported to Jutland fell into the hands of the centaurs, in addition to the lives of those goblins were also left in the lands of Finland and Karelia.

If the trade routes to Karelia and Finland were cut off by these centaurs, Jutland's economy would shrink by at least half, and the other half would be severely affected, as Finland and Karelia would be lacking in supplies.

The influence of commerce on Jutland and Schleswig was not really significant, as both cities were self-sufficient, not to mention that Alice still held such a sharp weapon as iron, and in the entire north, Jutland was the only city in Jutland that could produce iron weapons, except for the dwarves and gnomes underground.

In addition, the refugees who were defeated by the tribe did not completely die in the attack of the centaurs, and through the news from the goblin, it was possible to meet at least tens of thousands of refugees heading towards Jutland, which presented Semiramis with a big problem.

The arrival of these refugees will have a series of problems, first of all, they are loyal to Attila, and Jutland and Attila are at war, and Semiramis has no way to guarantee that these refugees will not be mixed with die-hard elements loyal to Attila, and if these die-hard elements are inciting among the refugees, then accepting these refugees will plant a bomb called riot in Jutland.

Moreover, the arrival of these refugees, the addition of tens of thousands of people, will inevitably require Semiramis to provide food, but the food stored in Jutland is only enough for the residents of the city to survive the winter, if part of it is divided, then the residents of Jutland will face a state of starvation, which will create a dilemma.

If these refugees are accepted and rescued, then they will inevitably offend the residents who now live in Jutland, even if they dare not resist the orders of Semiramis, but the complaints in their hearts will not dissipate, if that happens, then the conflict between the refugees and the native residents is inevitable.

"It's still a big problem for me. ”

Semiramis propped his chin and looked at the report in front of him, and said in distress.

"Grain Grain Grain ...... It's a real headache. ”

In this winter, when everything is silent, the problem of food is really a big problem, and there is a thick layer of ice on the sea, which is more than ten meters thick, and even the giants have to spend a lot of effort to break through such ice, so the method of obtaining food from the sea is not feasible at all in winter.

And in the forests and snowfields, most of the prey has also entered a state of hibernation, specially formed hunting troops, after the first snow falls, then stop all hunting activities, after all, looking for prey in a meter of deep snow is a waste of time and energy, often a team of centaurs go out hunting for a day, are not enough to replenish their physical strength consumed by hunting.

Unable to catch fish, nor hunting, and the crops in the field are not ready to be harvested, then the only solution left in front of Semiramis is to buy food with money, go to the goblins, and use the money they have saved to buy food at a high price.

As for not accepting these refugees and refusing them out of the gates of Jutland and Schleswig, Semiramis didn't think about it at all, not to mention how much development Alice's power could bring if these refugees were digested and turned into Alice's residents, just to help them, let them thank Alice, and even take the initiative to believe in Alice, the power of faith obtained was enough to offset all the risks, it was an incalculable profit, only a little thing was needed, and Alice could go one step further on the road to becoming a god, is there a more cost-effective deal than this？

As Alice told Semiramis, "As soon as there is a proper profit, the merchant is emboldened." With 50 percent of the profits, the businessman will take risks, for the sake of 100 percent of the profits, he will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and with 300 percent of the profits, he will dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged. ”

"Goblins, thank you for bringing me this important news, but I'm sorry that we in Jutland can't avenge you by taking out the centaurs who are entrenched in Finland and Karelia. ”

Not only will it not be solved, but if she can, Semiramis wants to provide these centaurs with more weapons and equipment, and she even considers whether to let the centaur troops stationed in Jutland City be transformed and join them, go to Finland and Karelia, and smash Attila's back garden to pieces.

"Ten gold coins, a wagon of food, I need a hundred wagons of food, and of course if you can transport it to Jutland before the refugees arrive, I will pay ten percent more. ”

A hundred wagons of food, if all of them were eaten with sawdust and mixed with water, would be enough for tens of thousands of people to consume for a winter, and the taste might have become worse because of the addition of these things, but these hungry refugees would probably not care about the taste of the food, and whether it was nutritious or not.

Semiramis put down her hand, her right hand tapped lightly on the wooden table, making a crisp sound, ten meters away from her, a goblin in a thick bearskin coat was sitting on the sofa, counting his fingers, unlike ordinary goblins, this goblin's fingers were not full of gold rings inlaid with jewels, he only carried a simple wooden ring on the thumb of his right hand, and his neck was extremely smooth, without any necklace.

"No! Miss Semiramis!"

After half a bang, the goblin stopped what he was doing, and he pulled at his collar and retorted loudly in a shrill voice.

"In winter, buying food from the south, each cart needs eight gold coins, and the roads in winter are not safe, ten gold coins, no, no, eleven gold coins a car, I will lose money, those wolves that infest the forest in groups are too dangerous, I need more guards to be able to withstand their attacks. ”

"Goblins, don't be too greedy!"

As long as you can survive this difficult winter, when spring comes, whether you go fishing in the sea or hunting in the forest, you can provide enough food for the whole city, including the refugees, so that they can last until the harvest in the autumn of the following year.

Semiramis knew that what the goblins said was true, but she didn't plan to change her mind, and of course Jutland didn't have that many gold coins for one of the important reasons.

"A gold coin is an adult's income for a month's hard work, but a cart of food is enough for them to eat for more than a year, goblin, I give you eleven gold coins is already a very preferential treatment, you don't have to inch in. ”

Looking at such a tough Semiramis, the goblin's two index fingers turned rapidly, he was analyzing the pros and cons, unlike most of his kind, this goblin did not only see material benefits, but he also considered more and more comprehensively.

"And tents, goblins, if you can bring me enough tents, one gold coin per tent, I'll buy a thousand. ”

In addition to providing enough food for the refugees to survive the winter, Semiramis also needed to prepare enough tents for the refugees to withstand the wind and snow, as well as enough fuel, but the latter also had a large amount of timber in Jutland warehouses, all of which were leftover from the construction of the city, which could be used as good fuel to keep the tents warm in spring.

"I don't have much time, goblins, and if you can't give me an exact answer, I'm going to go to your kindred, and I think they'll gladly accept it if they hear that. ”

Hit a mallet to give a sweet date, Semiramis used such a simple and crude trick at this time, she tied the mallet and the sweet date together, if you want to eat that delicious sweet date, you must withstand a mallet attack.

For the goblin in front of him, eleven gold coins and a cart of grain are that mallet, and a gold coin and a tent are that sweet dates, in the northern continent, including Scandinavia, the cheapest thing is leather, because all the ethnic groups here live by hunting and animal husbandry, so in the warehouses of every tribe and country, there will be a large amount of leather, as well as all kinds of clothes and ...... made from these leathers Tent.

At a normal price, one gold coin could buy ten tents made of animal skins, which were strong, warm, and impermeable, and no matter how cold the winter months, as long as such a tent, a campfire, and plenty of food could make a family survive in peace.

"Okay...... Miss Semiramis. ”

In the end, the goblin still agreed to Semiramis's terms, whether it was for profit or out of the consideration of befriending the emerging power of Jutland, the goblin had no reason to refuse this business, not to mention that if he rejected Semiramis's proposal at this time, then what awaited him would be the anger of several strong men...... It knew that Skaha was now living in Jutland, and that he couldn't get a word out of his throat in the face of such force.

He bowed deeply to Semiramis, then took out a quill from his bosom, took the magic contract from the vampire maid, and looked at it carefully, and after seeing that there were no problems or pitfalls, the goblin wrote his name on it.

Sherlock, the name of this goblin, is the richest of all the goblins in Jutland now, and the one who brought back the news of the northern centaurs and refugees, he is Jutland's most important business partner, responsible for selling Jutland cheese and iron weapons to the northern continent, and then the northern continent's slaves, leather, medicinal herbs, wood, Ore and other items were brought to Jutland to be sold, and of course most of them were bought by Alice with the money from the sale of cheese and weapons.

"By the way, Miss Semiramis. ”

Sherlock, the goblin who had signed the contract, slapped his palm vigorously, and he remembered something that he had overlooked.

A small group of centaurs seemed to be following the refugees, perhaps trying to find Jutland's location. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Semiramis said without raising his face.

"It doesn't matter, they're going to die in Jutland. ”

In a tone that seemed to be discussing what to eat for dinner, Semiramis simply pronounced the fate of these centaurs, whether it was Skaha in the city or Alice's army prepared for war, these centaurs could be easily annihilated.
