Chapter 122: The Food Crisis
On the first day of the Duke's return to the realm, there was a whole night of meetings, and the meeting was devoted to the question of food. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since in the past two months, the silver coins in the entire Blackwater River region have basically been looted by the Black Fire Family.
Many orcs traded beers for beer, leaving the castle with a mountain of supplies.
These include grain, iron ore, precious stones, and more.
The exact quantities of these supplies have not yet been calculated.
After dawn, the officers and officers went home to rest, and Lin Ye sat alone in the conference hall, rubbing his temples.
"My lord, can you eat something, you have just come back and it has been so hard, how can you do it when your body collapses?" Vivien walked in with a plate.
Lin Ye looked up at her, she hadn't seen her for more than two months, and Vivian was still so charming and moving.
Before, he wanted to match her with Lancelot.
But Lancelot, like a piece of wood, remained indifferent.
Second, he was busy with all kinds of trivial matters and never had time to spare, which was delayed.
"It's Vivien, by the way, what about Milia, why didn't you see her?" Lin Ye took the plate and frowned.
Breakfast is served with two omelettes, a glass of goat's milk, and a smoked ham.
This is much richer than when he first crossed over.
It seems that the quality of life in Blackfire Castle has indeed improved a lot.
It's just that in the next month, I have to tighten my belt again.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye smiled bitterly.
"She's a teacher at the castle now, and she's teaching children how to read. Vivien chuckled.
The little duke had been out for more than two months, and his skin was not as fair as it used to be because of the sun and rain.
But it looks a lot healthier.
And he seems to be a little longer than he used to be.
It looks more duly like it used to be.
"Teacher, as the population increases, education should indeed be on the agenda, what about Mel?" Lin Ye continued.
Thinking back to the experience of meeting the black pupil that day, Mel now knows how to seal her.
That must have something to do with the Black Fire family.
He had many things to ask her.
This little-known Black Fire Family in a corner of the Far East seems to be hiding a lot of secrets.
"Miss Mel said that she had regained her memories and left the castle shortly after your accident, and Lord Lancelot tried to keep her, but she still didn't. Vivien replied truthfully.
"Are you leaving?" Lin Ye looked a little disappointed.
However, he was soon relieved, and if there was a fate, he would naturally see him again.
Lin Ye swallowed up his breakfast and stretched his waist, and the sun came in through the window.
"Mornings in the Far East are as charming as ever. He straightened his shirt and got up and walked outside.
"By the way, Vivien, just give me two slices of bread for breakfast starting tomorrow. Lin Ye recalled the urgency of the food and commanded.
"Your Excellency, aren't you going to rest for a while?" Vivien couldn't help but ask, looking at the direction he wasn't heading to the room.
"Now that there are so many things, arranging for orc soldiers to build towns, house the inhabitants of Undercurrent Island, and provide them with jobs in the shortest possible time, and to build ports, they are too busy to be busy, so there is no time to rest. He shook his head and smiled.
Even though the current situation is very difficult, Blackfire Castle is already developing in a good direction.
His plans are on track.
It won't be long before a brand new town is built.
The hard work he has put in so far will not be in vain!
"Good morning, Link, I heard you had a meeting last night, doesn't it really matter?" Van paced back and forth at the door of the conference hall, and when the little duke appeared, he immediately greeted him.
"It's okay, why are you here?" asked Lin Ye in surprise.
After returning to the castle yesterday, he was busy dealing with the five major tribes and the serious food problems he was about to face.
For the time being, the more than 2,000 people in the port were taken care of.
They will be at the port for three days at most, and he needs to urgently solve the problem of accommodation for these people.
There are also the hundreds of orc soldiers outside the castle, as well as the 1,000 soldiers who have recently been brought under the banner of the Black Pyro.
They can't just keep laying the floor, can they?
What if it rains and provokes a mutiny?
Moreover, these soldiers followed him to the Far East to live a new life, not to suffer and starve.
"Because I wanted to come and see if I could help you. Van rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
He's just a good-for-nothing, low-self-esteem chubby little dun dun.
Because I met Lin Ye, a friend, I followed him here.
But after witnessing the scene of the orc siege yesterday, he was really frightened.
Where had he seen these furry orcs on the island?
And all of them grinned, fierce and vicious.
Maybe I'll swallow his little chubby mound at some point.
"Help? Just right, you go to Mr. Murray and ask him to send you 20 truckloads of food, 5 truckloads of water, by the way, 1 more cart of beer, you bring these things to the port, let everyone hold on a little longer, and I'll be over soon." Lin Ye pondered for a moment.
"By the way, you can bring Eight Feet and Ababa again, I have something to discuss with them, go quickly, now I have to go and talk to the orc brothers. ”
There were still hundreds of orc soldiers waiting outside the city, and he couldn't afford to keep them waiting.
"Link, can I ask you a question?" Van asked after a moment's hesitation, but still plucked up the courage.
He was envious of someone like the Little Duke, who was very confident at all times.
He can't do that.
Just talking to someone makes him embarrassed.
"What's the problem?" Lin Ye paused.
"I've also heard from the people in the castle, and everyone is curious why these orcs are kept, they are all so fierce, what if something goes wrong?" Van said worriedly.
In fact, he was afraid that Lin Ye would be busy with various problems and be too busy, so he ignored this matter.
This time reminded him.
Once something happens to a few hundred orcs, it's not a trivial matter.
"Are you worried about the mutiny of the orc army?" Lin Ye guessed his mind and asked rhetorically.
"Yes. Fant said seriously.
Although he considered himself useless, he still wanted to help this friend.
"There are three reasons for keeping them, the first is that we really need manpower now, and the strong orcs are undoubtedly the best labor force for us to build our towns, and second, I need the patriarchs who are being held here to have a counterinsurgency force in their hands at a critical time. ”
"They will be guests in the Black Fire Castle for a long time, the patriarch is not there, there will inevitably be careerists in the tribe who are ready to move, once they openly rebel, only these old patriarchs of Longzhong will go back single-handedly, they will undoubtedly be sent to death, but if there is an elite of 200 people, the result will be different. ”
"Third, I need to give these orcs close contact with our human lives, and I need to assimilate them culturally, so even if there is a certain risk for them to stay in Blackfire Castle, the benefits are definitely higher than these risks. Lin Ye answered Fante's question.
"I see, Link, you're so good, you've thought of this level. Fant said admiringly.
"Work hard, you will be able to take charge of yourself in the future, go and complete your tasks. Lin Ye patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
He didn't realize at all that it was his words that inspired the little fat man Fant's determination to rise up.
Many years later, when a reporter asked a generation of wise generals who had been disarmed and returned to the field with the rank of marshal, among the more than 100 battles he participated in, which was the most unforgettable battle for him.
He replied with a smile, the first battle of his life.
Someone gave him the confidence to overcome the cowardice in his heart.
Marshal Fante, who is famous in the mainland, used to be a crybaby who had no confidence and was bullied by others!
