Chapter 146: The Cultivation of the Great Emperor II
160 million catties, a figure that Gülen never imagined.
Usually when he was in the council hall, he often heard the ministers say that this province has transported 3 million catties of grain, and that province has transported 5 million catties of grain, which already makes him feel a lot.
But there are only a dozen provinces in the empire, and they only transport a few million catties, so how many can they have?
Frandi was right, and he admitted it, but did it really take that much?
"But the ...... of the previous wars"
"You're saying that there wasn't so much food in the previous wars, right?" asked Frandy.
"Yes, when I studied the history of the mainland, it was recorded that tens of thousands of troops attacked somewhere, and there was never any food to prepare or anything. ”
"People always have to eat, right, so think about it, if you don't prepare food, then what will the soldiers eat?"
Gülen lowered his head and thought about it very seriously, before he said, "It should be the various provinces along the way to raise food, and then the army will take it away when it arrives." ”
"That's right, but what's the difference? From the imperial capital to the pseudo-imperial capital of the Viton Empire, how many provinces have you passed?
"Flandy, what do you say? ”
"Of course it's civilians, raising food as you go!"
"But how can the common people have rich food?"
"If you don't have a rich person, you can grab it, and if you just grab the food of the civilians?"
"How can you do that? What's the difference between that and a robber?"
"I don't believe you can ask the generals of the military department when you discuss politics tomorrow, they all know that this is already a common practice. ”
The Oskaia Empire is now well known to be short of food, and there is no good way to really conquer the Vidon Empire.
At the current rate of food raising, and excluding the rate of its own consumption, the food that has been raised in a few years will not be able to support this war.
And in the unlikely event that various natural disasters occur in the past few years, the food raised will even be consumed directly.
"How so!" Gülen held his head in pain.
"Gülen, people eat people, this sentence is really not nonsense, nor is it made up by those novels, but it really exists!"
"How is it possible, how can people eat people?" Gülen's worldview was refreshed again.
"Well, let's do an experiment. ”
Gülen said strangely, "Do experiments, do what experiments?"
"Don't eat for a week if you're hungry!"
"Flandy, you're so ruthless, why don't you let me eat?" asked Glenn with a bitter face.
"Gülen, you have to learn to put yourself in other people's shoes, and you can taste what it is like to be hungry and understand what the refugees think. ”
"Ah, really?"
"It's up to you to see if you're willing to be a great emperor and leave your name in the history of the Oskaia Empire!"
"Okay, then I'll skip a week!" Glenn agreed, resisting, but he also wanted to try what it was like for the commoners to be hungry, as Flandy said.
"Hey, it's okay to skip food, but you can drink water! Don't even drink water, humans will die of thirst if they don't drink water for three days!"
"Three days to die of thirst?
It's so normal to eat and drink, Gülen doesn't believe that his body will die of thirst if he doesn't drink water for just three days?
However, it turned out that he only insisted on not drinking water for one day, and he was already very uncomfortable, and he couldn't concentrate his memory at all without drinking water the next day, and he felt that he couldn't control his body.
Feeling that his body really couldn't bear it, he still drank a little water, he never thought that just drinking a sip of water would be so happy.
In the past week, Gülen has lost weight at a rate visible to the naked eye, which can be regarded as suffering.
Frandy they eat the fruit when he watches.
Flandi watched them when they drank seafood porridge.
Frandy watched as they ate the meat of the monsters.
By the third day of hunger, the blizzard had arrived, and the goose-feathered snow was falling from the sky.
Flandi has developed a way to eat it called "hot pot", in which a large group of people gather around a special pot and eat slices of particularly thin monster meat in the pot.
The spices in the bowl were so fragrant that Gülen's mouth secreted an unknown amount of saliva uncontrollably.
But he could only watch.
On the fourth day, Prime Minister Tang En found that His Majesty was a little abnormal, not only as simple as losing weight, but also obviously anxious and irritable, and weak.
By the fifth day, even my body was a little swollen.
Prime Minister Don saw the clue and asked Gülen what was going on.
Gülen repeated what Flandy had told him to Prime Minister Donn.
The old prime minister's eyes stared at Gülen for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Maybe what Flandi said is right, I haven't tasted that kind of taste, I really can't imagine it." Gülen, you're nice. ”
Although receiving the praise of the Prime Minister made Gülen's heart very happy, the physical pain was very torturous.
By the sixth day, Gülen was unable to get up, had no strength at all, and was lying on the bed with empty eyes.
Hunger felt to a certain extent, which would turn into hunger pains, and the occasional stomach cramp, a feeling that allowed Gülen to finally know what the refugees were thinking.
In this case, even if someone gives him a bowl of human flesh, he will not hesitate to eat it!
Even the initiator, Frandy, couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded him to end the experience.
But Gülen had to fulfill his promise and survived for another day.
On the seventh day, Anne fed Gülen a bowl of porridge at the behest of Flandy, and at this time Gülen didn't even have the strength to eat by himself.
Glenn was overjoyed to get the opportunity to be fed porridge by his beloved girl. While looking at Anne's delicate little face, she swallowed hard, and the porridge didn't taste anything.
After eating this bowl of porridge, he finally regained some strength, and this unprecedented experience of hunger made Gülen feel like he was seriously ill, but it made his mind mature a lot.
After two more days of delay, Gülen, who finally recovered, finally ate the most painful "hot pot" in the past few days.
It's snowing heavily, but inside the magic tower, it's hot, and everyone has been very interested in this way of eating since the last time they ate it.
The thin slices of meat are cooked after just a dip, and then dipped in Flandi's carefully arranged seasoning, and put it in the mouth to call it a fragrant.
Of course, you can't use high-grade Warcraft meat, otherwise you will have to shake it for a long time before you can chew it.
Frandi always felt that the spicy taste of this world was not so pure, and there was a sour feeling. Although it tastes good, I still miss the hot feeling I used to have.
Last time in the primeval forest between the two empires, he collected many different plants, and finally found a red pepper that was almost exactly the same as in his previous life in terms of shape, color, and taste.
This can make him extremely excited, he already has a hemp-flavored plant, and now the spicy taste is in place, and he can finally make a pot of spicy hot pot.
While eating shabu shabu, he drank flame wine and sweated. It made him feel extremely happy.
For the first time, everyone is not used to this spicy taste. But after eating, I always miss it, so I pounced on Brandi again.
The spicier it is, the more I want to eat it, the more I eat it, the more spicy it gets, Mom, Shirley, Annie, and several girls' mouths are a little swollen with spicy, but they just can't stop.
"Why should I eat it, why should I eat it?" said Vito, with tears in his eyes, as he kept putting meat and vegetables into his mouth.
"Hahaha, there is no problem in this world that can't be solved by a hot pot!" Flandi was refreshed, and couldn't help but think of a famous quote from his previous life.
"How is it possible, eating a hot pot will still solve the problem?" Gülen didn't know what Flandy meant by this.
"If one hot pot can't solve the problem, then another one!"
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
Everyone knew that Flandi was joking.
"I'm laughing to death, there is no problem in this world that can't be solved by a hot pot, if a hot pot can't be solved, then another meal! The next time Prime Minister Tang En criticizes me again, I will invite him to eat hot pot!"
Ever since Prime Minister Don knew that Gülen was going to starve himself for seven days, and really took action, in the past two days, he has been unceremoniously criticized for his excessive demands and the slightest mistake.
