King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 30 Borrow food?

Winter Fortress.

Every day, Charles still practiced fighting spirit for two hours unshakably. It is uncertain whether he has made any progress, but the regular work and rest allowed him to maintain a refreshed and energetic state every day.

After practicing fighting qi, he took another comfortable hot bath and changed into dry clothes. Charles sat in the study and started his day's work.

Letters have been sent from Abudkad's caravan and are expected to arrive today.

Charles wanted to laugh when he saw this letter. The soldiers of the Noxus family can read and write, but the words they know cannot escape the words on the breathing method. Once there are words that are not in the breathing method, they immediately return to the state of illiteracy. nature.

But Charles was not discouraged. It would be strange if literacy was so easy.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. These soldiers have mastered dozens of hundreds of characters in the breathing method. With the experience and confidence in literacy, they can start further study, and they can read books in the future to achieve their own growth.

This will help their Winterhold step into the ranks of the regular army from a pile of mud legs.

But for further study, Shire has no good way for the time being. The cultural level of Winter Fortress is too low. A thousand people can't pick a candidate who can be a teacher. We can only take it slowly, but the difficulty is not just like this step by step solved it?

Just as Charles was thinking, the butler, Old Mark, knocked on the door and walked in: "Master, Abdekad is back."

"Oh! Call him over quickly." Charles said happily. The food came back, and the next step of the development of Winter Fortress can begin. The wooden plow in the school yard can't wait.

"Master, you should..."

Charles was happy in his heart, even with the old Mark's old face a little more lively, Charles had been too lazy to see him before, and he repeated those few words every day, which annoyed people.

But today he is in a good mood, and Charles is not stingy, making old Mark happy too: "Don't worry, there will be women and children in the future."

"Master, why don't you..."

Just as the old Mark was about to further persuade why he didn't seize the moment, Charles quickly waved his hand to signal him to leave. The women in Cold Winter Fortress were too heavy for him to grasp the moment.

Old Mark had no choice but to leave in disappointment, but he hadn't been disappointed for a day or two, and Charles didn't feel much guilt for a long time.

After a while, Abdekad hurried into Shire's study, and complained angrily as soon as they met:

"Lord Baron, we were slaughtered by those dogs from the Silver Fox family."

"Has the food been delivered?"

"Sent it back, but much less than you expected."

Charles hurriedly asked what happened to Abudkad, and Abdkad told him everything from the difficulties he encountered when he entered Silver Fox Town to the end when he was seen through his underwear by the middle-aged wealthy businessman Patrice come out.

"Young master, there are too many people who eat inside and out in the winter fortress. The beauty trap last time, and the food transaction this time."

Abudkad was very angry. This transaction was due to the spies placed by the Silver Fox family in Winter Fortress to find out the food situation in Winter Fortress, so that he had no room for bargaining when trading.

Otherwise, he would not agree to buy grain at this price even if he was killed.

"It's okay, what you did is very correct and decisive. If the price of food is high, it will be expensive. Just buy the food back." Charles encouraged. Things cannot always develop in the direction they expected.

When things are out of control, you need to have your own judgment. This is also the only way for a person to become independent. Abudkad is at this critical stage. Starting from the overall situation, when the price of food has risen, he decisively buys back the food. This is a good thing.

"But we can't exchange a catty of sheep for a catty of grain. This is really a loss. It's better not to buy it."

Charles was not so depressed. Although a catty of rye is not as good as a catty of mutton, they can also mix wood chips and wild vegetables, and most of them are eaten by the tauren anyway.

And thinking about it another way, they just put the flock of sheep in the Yinhu family to raise them first, but the food was actually brought back.

Abudkad continued: "Master, where shall we go to buy food next?"

The food price of the Silver Fox family is too expensive. Although the food price of the Violet family is not so expensive, the transportation of food needs to go through the Blackstone Mountains, and it takes a long detour. It would be good to have three of the ten food to be transported to Winter Fortress Well, after all, it's not much cheaper.

Moreover, the distance is very long, and there are too many uncertain factors along the way. Looking at it this way, there is no suitable place to buy food in Winter Fortress.

The location of the Noxus family's territory is too embarrassing. There is only one Winter Fortress. To the north is the orcs who invade the south all the year round. To the east is the Violet family with rugged mountain roads. To the west is the malicious Silver Fox family.

"Master Baron, why don't we borrow some food from the Silver Fox family. I heard that they recruited many serfs to go to the Alps in the north." Abdekad said murderously.

Charles did not answer directly, but first checked the food that Abudkad brought back, and it was indeed much less than expected.

According to the usual prices, Abdekad should be able to buy back six months' worth of grain, but this time he only brought back three months' worth of grain. All the breathing methods are activated, and the food in Cold Winter Fortress is estimated to not last for a month.

Cold Winter Fortress must open up new food routes.

But since the food will not be able to be grown for a while, you can either buy it or grab it.It is obviously unrealistic to buy, the Silver Fox family is too expensive, and the Violet family is too far away.

Charles looked at Abdekad's scarred face, shook his head and said, "It can't be robbed, at least not now."

It is impossible for the Silver Fox family not to be wary of the first infantry regiment of the Noxus family who just defeated the orcs.Not only will they not be able to grab much food, but it may also ruin the reputation of the Noxus family, so both lose.

"Then what to do, it's too expensive to buy, and it's impossible to grab it. Could it be that these grains can run from the sky to our Winter Fortress?"

Charles chuckled and replied, "It's impossible from the sky, but we can change our thinking and let these merchants come to Cold Winter Fortress to sell food."

"It's impossible for those dogs of the Silver Fox family to let merchants come to our Winter Fortress to sell food."

This is the limitation of Abdekad. The will of Baron Larry Silver Fox is not equal to the will of the Silver Fox Family, nor the will of the Silver Fox Leader businessman.

A great mentor once said: "Once there is an appropriate profit, the capitalist will be bold; once there is a 50% profit, it will dare to take risks; once there is a 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking death by hanging. And now, the Noxus family will give them 1000% profit."

Even if Baron Larry Silver Fox doesn't let the merchants in his territory sell grain to the Noxian family, there will always be people who want money and life to smuggle grain.

And he helps these people and helps them smuggle. Since the business route of the Yinhu family is not easy, the grassland in the north has just been cleaned by him. The Yinhu family can't stop this business route.
