"Alan, I'm bothering you again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Isha was welcomed to the living room by Allen, and as soon as she sat down, she first asked Alan and the others about the current situation, and then said with apologies.

"My sister-in-law came to me because I was a relative, and I was too late to be happy, how can it be considered trouble, what is the matter?"

Alan waved his hand, signaling that Isha didn't need to be so polite, Alan had already regarded them as his family after so many years.

"It's still about food. ”

Isha sighed, her fair face showing a look of embarrassment.

"Isn't the food matter settled?"

"It's a temporary solution. ”

"I remember my sister-in-law saying that there were 500,000 pounds of food to keep the refugees going until this fall, when the new food would come down. ”

Alan asked curiously, he clearly remembered that Isha had said that the refugees were cultivating near Iron Pine Town, and that the grain would be ripe this fall, and that it was harvest season now, and that food should no longer be a problem.

"Alan, I said so, but we made a mistake, the land near the town of Iron Pine is not suitable for cultivation at all, the seeds planted in the spring, the harvest was just counted the other day, and it is not even a tenth of what was expected, according to this situation, plus the existing food is only enough to eat until next spring, and now that the number of refugees is still increasing, food will soon be stretched thin. ”

"I see!"

Hearing Isha say this, Eren immediately understood what was going on, it seemed that the land of the ancient city of Okugu was not suitable for cultivation and it was not just words.

"There's nothing Mayor Aple can do on his side?"

The reason why Alan asked this is because the work of rescuing refugees is carried out at the same time in both public and private aspects, the mayor of Aple represents the official headed by the lord of the ancient city of Oku, and Isha represents the personal assistance led by Alan, originally this kind of assistance should be mainly official, but because Alan invested a lot of money in it, this relationship has been reversed, and it has become mainly Isa, supplemented by Aple, especially in terms of food, because Hollanster is busy hoarding food, and only symbolically took out some surplus food, which cannot solve the problem at all。

"Mayor Aple didn't care about it entirely, but his method was a bit strange, and the refugees they demanded that the refugees send the men of the family to the mercenary training camp and swear allegiance to the Ogu family, and they would be willing to receive food, and the amount was limited. ”

Isha said.

"Didn't you say that the nomadic men still stayed in the steppe to fight the orcs?"

Alan had heard before that the nomads who fled were all old and young and women, and the men stayed on the grassland to continue to fight against the orcs, at first Alan thought that the reason why the nomadic men refused to flee may be because the Yus defenders of Capra Pass did not let them in because they were worried about safety, but after listening to the history of the Gothas told by Holancest, Alan changed his mind, and the reason why the nomadic men refused to give up their hometown may be because they did not want to repeat the mistakes of their ancestors.

"There are very few adult men, but there are many children, and Mayor Aple does not refuse to come, even many children of twelve or thirteen years old, so I am very worried. ”

Isha said worriedly, furrowing her slender eyebrows.

"I understand, I'll figure out how to deal with food. Someone, go and call Master Elvis, I have something important to discuss with him. ”

Of course, Alan guessed that Mayor Aple's actions were on the orders of Holranster, and he was actually preparing for war by stockpiling food and recruiting new mercenaries, and Alan certainly didn't want a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old children to be sent to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, so he had to help with this favor. But when it comes to magic is Allen's specialty, when it comes to food problems, he is at a loss, the original 500,000 pounds of grain is still a mistake, because Elvis was kidnapped by horse bandits, he was angry and coerced and lured to buy it, if he let him do it again, it is obviously not possible, but as soon as he thought of Allen, he thought of Elvis, so he immediately asked the servant to call Elvis, Elvis is a member of the Lorraine family after all, maybe he will have a way.

"Alan, you know, I don't want to have anything to do with that family anymore. ”

Hearing that Alan wanted to buy some more food from the family, Elvis looked embarrassed.

"El, you can't delay the big thing that saved tens of thousands of lives because of personal feelings. ”

Allen had to emphasize the meaning and importance of some food.

"I understand what you're saying. However, you should also understand that when I was kidnapped by horse bandits, they were reluctant to take out food, so what is the use of coming forward now, even if you kidnap me again, it is probably useless. They will not be obedient unless you put your sword above their heads, as you did last time. ”

Elvis said helplessly, but his words were very reasonable, and it was useless for him to come forward, and the Earl of Lorraine had a hundred reasons to refuse this illegitimate child who embarrassed him.

"When you were kidnapped by horse bandits, and they didn't save me when they saw death, I could do that, but now if you still use coercive measures, won't you become a horse bandit? ”

"Alan, what do you say, we can't go to the southern countries to buy grain and ship it back, right?"

Elvis said.

"The countries of the South?"

Hearing Elvis mention the southern countries, Allen's heart not only moved, but Allen had seen the bumper harvest scene in the land of fish and rice in the south, and it was not a problem to buy food, the key was how to transport it.

"Somebody, go get Steven for me, and send someone to get Kevin Borg for me, I have something to discuss with two people. ”

Alan shouted to the servant outside the door.

After lunch, Kevin ran over sweating profusely, he was currently busy with the affairs of the pharmaceutical factory, and was informed that Alan had an urgent matter to find him, so he immediately put down his work and hurried over.

"Alan, what's the matter with calling me?"

Kevin didn't care about resting, and asked urgently as soon as he saw Allen.

"I'd like to talk to you and Steven about doing some grain trading business. ”

Alan said.

"Business, or grain trade?"

Alan has always had no interest in business, it was all handed over to Steven and himself, how did he suddenly become interested in the food business? This made Kevin very surprised, in this place of Aogucheng, there are two businesses that are the most difficult to do, one is the weapon business, because the weapons here are almost all monopolized by the Augu family, only Allen's magic weapon is an exception, and the second is the grain business, because the land is barren, There is a shortage of food, and the ancient city of Ausi is in urgent need of grain, oil and cotton trade from the south, but in order to control the ancient city of Ausi, Yusi has been carrying out a border embargo on grain, unless there is the consent of the empire, it is difficult to transport grain to this side, and the Emperor Yuss has issued a strict ban on the nobles who produce grain in the territory, and all grain transactions with the Agu family are prohibited, and the grain that the Agu family needs can only be supplied through the Yuss official. Although this ban cannot completely prohibit the sale of a small amount of grain in private people, no one dares to make a big denunciation on the surface.
