Goodern's self-talk made Joseph Sr.'s hairs stand on end.

But this is not the end, Gooden, who has already entered the brainstorming process, continues to talk to himself.

"With such a large force entering the country, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all problems, and it is easy to track down the number of people......"

"The orcs have infiltrated the territory, hundreds of people, how did they solve the problem of eating and drinking?"

One is the words of the captain of the Dedalo cavalry detachment in Jinyuan City, and the other is Gooden's own question and guess.

Gooden, who had studied social work out of boredom, strung together bits and pieces of information during this period and finally gave an amazing answer.

"If this batch of food is for the orc scout troops......"

"Shhhh

At this point, old Joseph was so frightened by the young master's astonishing speculation that he gasped.

If this is true, then the meaning of this matter is different.

Maybe he will have to contact the family to deal with it under pressure, this kind of thing is no longer something that the young master can handle by himself.

"No...... right"

Suddenly, Goodern frowned, and found that there was a bug in this part of his analysis.

"If you started preparing food supplies two years ago, it shouldn't be a problem to raise an additional hundred orcs with the output of Snow Valley Ridge."

"Even if it is provided for two years, it will be more than enough, and it will not be enough to transfer grain reserves from outside."

As for the problems that arose in the analysis, Gooden couldn't help but revisit and think about what was missing.

As the memory flickered, Goodern froze in his mind the day his predecessor was attacked.

"Private soldiers!"

Thinking of this, Gooden's eyes lit up, and he casually pulled out a blank piece of paper from the side and began to quickly calculate something.

Seeing the young master analyze so seriously, Old Joseph's heart couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

I thought that I was sent here to stay away from the struggle for power and to spend my life quietly, but I didn't expect it to be a lot of killings.

If it weren't for the young master's unexpected awakening and recovery, I'm afraid that he would have returned to the royal capital with the young master's body now.

It was also after awakening that Joseph felt that the young master's current mental means might be very mediocre among the brothers and sisters in the family.

But it's enough to get out of here and head to a wider city.

Why don't you try to reach out to the family this year?

At this moment, Joseph Sr. was already thinking about Goodern's future development.

And Gooden, who is quick to calculate, will eventually extrapolate an approximate value.

can look at this string of numbers, and the frowns between the eyebrows are twisted together again.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Old Joseph was still very concerned about Goodern's situation.

"Something is wrong, according to the output of Qingyuan Town, the output of Xueguling is calculated, and there is no problem at all with the grain from the reserves to feed one or two thousand people."

"But even if you count the number of orcs that have been wiped out, plus the number of the lord's largest private soldiers, it is only six or seven hundred."

"What are you doing with so much surplus food left? Do you keep insects? ”

The young master's peculiar analytical ideas had made old Joseph unable to keep up, so he could only stand aside and listen silently.

"Did he break the law and raise more private soldiers?"

"That's not right, where did he come from and hide thousands of private soldiers? Eat, drink, and live in Lazar can't be as high as the orcs? …… Damn?! ”

Suddenly, Goodern's train of thought was opened, what if there were not only hundreds of orcs, but thousands?

In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for the direction of consumption of large quantities of grain stockpiling.

Thinking back to his first encounter with an orc scout, Goodern had always thought it was an accident.

What if it was the second assassination of the Charleson family?

If all the above speculations are correct, then for the Charleson family, their territory should be easily claimed by debt.

Thinking of this, Gooden's back couldn't help but feel a chill.

Originally, I thought that the orcs in the territory had been completely annihilated and cleaned up, but now it seems that maybe everything is not so simple.

Old Joseph on the side, connecting what Goodern said before, his thoughts were also opened up in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot.

Raising orc troops, this is already a violation of the laws of the Empire, and this is also a thousand-level army, is this to launch a rebellion?

After a long time, Goodern broke the silence in the study.

"There's no need to worry about it, what was just a guess just now, and the specific facts have to be verified."

These words seemed like Goodern's own words of comfort, and Joseph Sr. let out a long breath and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Originally, I thought that Roy's line would not have much gain, but now it seems that at least there is a direction to dig down and dig deeper."

As he spoke, Gooden paused, and quickly made a brief arrangement in his mind.

"If the lack of food in Snow Valley Ridge is true, then the surrounding lords and Jinyuan City will definitely have news about this."

"You arrange someone to ask, there should be a lot of gains, Charleson buys so much grain, then there must be a place to store this grain."

"And normal consumption must not be able to consume such a huge reserve of grain, after determining the granary, I will send someone to investigate, if the reserve is normal, everything will be fine."

"But if the reserves are too low, then we have to prepare for the worst."

"Understood." Joseph Sr. also understood the seriousness of this matter and was ready to personally select a group of suitable candidates to investigate.

Goodern tapped slowly on the table and continued to ask.

"Also, how's Matthews' investigation?"

"As you suspected, he went into hiding, I asked Kroger, but he didn't mean anything to talk to me."

"I feel like he knows Matthews' whereabouts, and he's not on Charleson's side, and he won't shy away from asking me about something, probably because he's wary of us as a tax collector."

At this point, Goodern had already expected it and spoke.

"If you hide and don't dare to come forward, it can only show that he has a ghost in his heart, so it is very necessary to continue to investigate."

"In addition, when searching for his whereabouts, ask his relatives and friends and tell them that if they can provide Matthews's whereabouts, they can come to me and receive five gold coins after verification."

For this kind of person who is hiding, Gooden has no good way to find him, and now he can only activate the money ability and use the money to smash.

When Matthews heard the news, he would inevitably panic and be wary of his relatives and friends.

Once that was achieved, it was only a matter of time before he was found.

And Goodern doesn't plan to solve this problem with just five gold coins, and he will continue to add more gold coins as time goes on.

He doesn't believe it, there are still people in this world who don't love money?

"Also, Kroger's side should not stop contacting, if we can get news from him, this trouble may be over sooner."

"Yes, young master."
