Chapter 57 Solving the Food Problem

After eating, someone took the mountain people to arrange accommodation.

When Malone built his house, he built it according to the standard of 10,000 people.

Naturally, there is no problem at all for these hundreds of people to live.

After arranging these mountain people, the time is also in the afternoon, and there will be a follow-up tomorrow, Ma Long is not in the mood to continue to mine the stone for the construction of the fortress.

Prepare to go back to your zero-hour residence to rest first, and sort out your thoughts by the way.

Ma Long's temporary residence is the same as an ordinary house, nothing special, he has a strong body, and he doesn't need to rely on housing to raise his status, which reflects the difference.

"Therefore, strength is a good thing, everything follows the foundation, without strength, there will be no today's self!"

Thinking about returning to the accommodation, I just entered the house for a while, and the guests were ushered in!

"Malf, why are you here?"

It was Malf who came in, and when he entered the house, he was not polite, picked up the glass and poured himself hot water, cooing...... After a few sips, he took a big breath and said, "Whew...... It's tiring! As soon as he sat on the chair, the whole person collapsed on it.

"What's wrong?" Malone asked.

Glancing at Malone obliquely, Malf said angrily, "You are embarrassed to ask, do you know how many things I am in charge of now?" ”

Ma Long laughed when he heard this, this was a complaint, so he said: "Those who can work harder!" ”

Seeing that Malf ignored it, he continued: "You see, each of us is not easy, I am also a baron, and I am not engaged in construction every day, like a construction worker, Harvey has to train the army and patrol a lot......"

"What about John?" Malf interrupted.

"Didn't he work as an assistant to Harvey!"

"Harvey needs him?"

"Isn't there no fighting now, and in a few days I decided to ask the mountain people to organize a team to go into the mountains to hunt. Let John lead the team when the time comes. ”

Seeing that Malf still wanted to refute, Malone changed the topic and said, "By the way, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Seeing that when it came to business, Malf sat up straight, just now it was just a complaint between friends, and both of them knew that neither of them would take it to heart.

Who is the other party after getting along for so many years, if it is not clear, it is really in vain!

Malf's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that our grain will not be needed for this batch of wheat when it is harvested. ”

"So fast?" Ma was surprised. The climate in Bukshire is suitable for wheat cultivation, and two crops can be grown a year.

Now the winter wheat has just been planted, and it will be harvested in March and April of the following year.

With so much food, can't you last for half a year?

Ma Long wondered: "Why do you consume so much?" In addition to the year's supplies supported by the kingdom, we also bought a lot of them ourselves, so why wasn't it enough? ”

Malf said helplessly: "Goblins, goblins are the big heads of consumption. ”

"Goblins, I know, except for weeding, the others are doing heavy physical work, and the consumption is a lot, but don't goblins have their own land?"

Malf said angrily: "How much do you care about your territory? In the goblin planting technology, the food planted is enough for their daily use, and now that we are engaged in construction, people are moving, and the consumption is naturally different"!

Ma Long touched his nose a little embarrassed, and really forgot, mainly during this time, his busy feet did not touch the ground, and he thought about too many things, and there were always omissions.

"And ......" Malf did not want to let him go, and continued to complain: "You have taken in more than five hundred people today, which is equivalent to half of our original population, and the consumption of food will be even greater in the future." ”

Ma Long said solemnly: "Send people to hunt, slow down the construction progress, and distribute less food, how long can this last?" ”

Malf lowered his head and pondered, silently calculating in his heart, and only after a while slowly shook his head and said, "It's still not enough!" ”

The room fell silent for a while, no matter how strong Ma Long is, it is impossible to conjure food!

I thought about what hole cards I had.

Strength, it seems useless, do you go hunting? Bucket!

Land, titles, money.

Gold, yes!

I still have gold coins, you can buy them, Marlon looked up.

At the same time, Malf also raised his head, and the two of them spoke at the same time: "Buy!" ”

They all smiled knowingly, and Ma Long said, "You say it first!" ”

Malf nodded, and without refusal, he said: "I see that the mountain people have brought a lot of leather goods, and we can collect them and exchange them for money, so that we can buy food." ”

Marlon nodded: "It's also a way, but it's too slow." ”

"So what do you say?"

Ma Long smiled and said, "I have ready-made gold coins here, just buy them directly." ”

"Didn't you say it earlier if you had money?" Malf said indignantly.

Ma Long spread his hands and said helplessly: "I also forgot, in the past few months, it has been either stone or wood, and I have never dealt with money, and I haven't remembered it for a while." ”

"How many?"

Ma Long said confidently: "It's enough to buy food!" ”

Malf nodded, and didn't ask the specific amount, and muttered, "Now it depends on where you want to buy it?" ”

Ma Long is also helpless, there is only one lord like him in this land with a radius of nearly a thousand miles, and it is not wrong to say that there are no people for thousands of miles.

If he wants to find someone to buy something, he doesn't know where to go, which is why he can't remember that he still has gold coins with him, and he can still buy food.

Malone thought about the map he saw in the palace and remembered that there were several noble territories in the south.

Then he spoke: "I can only organize a caravan and go south to collect enough grain, I remember that there are several noble territories there, and there have been no natural or man-made disasters in these years, because there should be surplus grain." ”

Malf muttered, "That's all there is to it, so who goes?" ”

"No one else can do this except you!"

"I'm leaving, who will I leave this side to?"

Ma Long is a little helpless, this is the disadvantage of the lack of talent, he has some scruples about doing everything, and he is in a hurry when there is a big event.

"Give some of it to Iliya, and I'll take care of the rest!"

"What about you?" Malf asked.

Marlon shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "The construction of the castle can only be put on hold first!" ”

Malf nodded, "That's all there is to it." ”

"Let's hand it over first, arrange the mountain people in a few days, and you will take people to set off!"

"OK"! Malf got up: "Then I'll go first!" ”

"Hmmm......"

……

Malone slumped in the chair, rubbing his forehead with his hands, there were so many things, one after another.

In his previous life, he was not a business lady, a high-level military leader, just an ordinary person, and it was really difficult to manage so many people.

Intelligence does not mean wisdom, and it is not omnipotent. To be honest, to be able to enter the role so quickly, Ma Long's far beyond ordinary intelligence has played a lot of roles.

The ability to learn alone is not something that ordinary people can have!

Ma Long sighed in his heart: It would be nice if there were talents in this area!

Thinking carefully in my heart, who else can help me in this regard?

Time passes slowly in contemplation......

Suddenly, my heart moved: "Haiwen"!
