We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Just as she finished speaking, Warfarin ran over in a hurry. She placed a large number of photos of Originium crystals in front of Teresica.

"This is my observation record of a single Originium lesion exposed on the body surface of some miners. Although they have protective clothing, the current intensity of work still has a considerable burden on their infection symptoms."

ah!Headache!

The joy of moving a lot of things back from Victoria has disappeared from Teresica's mind. Now thinking about the pile of things delivered to him, he couldn't help but cover his forehead.

"Now call all clan leaders and leaders for a meeting!"

.........

Everyone is here, but what about the meeting?This is not a military meeting, and these people can't say a word.

Looking around the quiet meeting hall, Teresica scratched her head in annoyance.

"What's going on with Kazdaele's food reserves now?"

"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, it can still last for 9 months."

Sakaz, who was responsible for managing the food inventory, stood up and said, Teresica looked at him while flipping through his files.

He is from the Goliath clan, and because he has no special abilities, this is a Sakaz clan without a royal court.But this man Sakaz used to be the administrator and guard of the weapons depot. He was responsible for preventing theft and also managing the withdrawal of supplies. Now that he is older, he has become the manager of the granary.

"You are now the Minister of Food Resources. You continue to manage the granary. In addition to the original withdrawals, you have established two special food allocations. One is food for mining and refining workers, which was originally allocated from the army. Take, go from your side now."

"Two, it's special food for education." Teresica looked at the banshee.

"From now on, all teachers and students' daily meals will be paid for by the state. Students will also be given two sets of summer clothing and winter clothing as clothing subsidies every year."

"In this case, food will become more and more tense..."

"Don't panic, I brought back a lot of financial reserves from Victoria, and it happens to be June now, so it's almost the food harvest season."

The banshee wanted to dissuade her, but was stopped by Teresica. He solemnly said: "It is an order that all children between the ages of 6 and 12 in Kazdale should go to school to receive education. This is an order."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The banshee nodded in greeting, and at the same time ordered someone to bring a stack of books, "Your Majesty, these are the textbooks we are going to use, but they are a bit confusing. We have no way to distinguish the education levels."

"This can only be a hard work for you. After you get through this period of time, everything will become more orderly and it should be easier."

Teresica took these textbooks and looked through them one by one.These textbooks only have the names of subjects, but no grade classification, because Kazdaele currently has no age range for education, which is too long.

"Just literacy, history. And arithmetic? Add some more."

Teresica thought for a while, "Add a health knowledge class to talk about hygiene knowledge in daily life, and an introduction to Originium Disease. It must be objective and practical! Then add a physical education class to exercise some physical fitness. As well as some wound dressing methods, and finally add a drawing class."

"I see."

The succubus wrote everything down.

"In addition, Zeppelin has set up the Kazdel Industrial Skills Training Office, and the military has sent all craftsmen and people with good hands-on skills to study there. Anyway, the location is near the military camp, so the renovations will not be affected!"

Teresica's attitude was tough, and the old guys on the military committee could only agree.

This is what education can do now, so Teresica turned her attention to food.

Surrounding Kazdel, the only areas that are excellent grain-producing areas and have no enmity with Sakaz are Great Yan and Syracuse.But Dayan has never communicated with Sakaz, and only Syracuse may give it a try.

"What's the gap between the food Kazdaele can receive and what it spends right now?"

"Your Majesty, the current food mainly comes from transactions with surrounding refugee settlements, scaled animals caught in the seaside fisheries, and a little wheat collected from the fields, which accounts for about 35% of the food expenditure."

Sakaz, who had just become the Minister of Food Resources, reported these data fluently.It's just that Teresica is not in the mood to praise his business abilities now, and there is only heavy worry in his heart.

With such a big gap, even if food is raised, Kazdaele will have a single food importing country accounting for 65%. This is really too dangerous, and it almost puts its life in the hands of others.

Thinking of this, Teresica looked at the Pardoners. They seemed to be studying the Origin Stone skills.

"The Absolver."

"His Majesty."

The Pardoner, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward.

"Can you...can you put together a research project?"

"Please order, Your Majesty."

Teresica sorted out her words and said: "Change the soil, or change the seeds. In short, let the land near Kazdale be able to grow food, or... let the seeds survive on the surrounding land and harvest more." Lots of food.”

He finished speaking, but the Pardoner stood there for a long time without responding.

Chapter 20 The only choice

"Uh...can't do it? I just said casually..."

Seeing that the meeting hall was silent for a long time, Teresica quickly comforted her, but the Pardoner spoke.

"This is indeed difficult, but this is your Majesty's will, and I will try my best to do it."

"Thank you for your hard work, don't use too outrageous methods."

The Pardoner leaned down. In his eyes, the king who succeeded him had actually done a very good job, but the only flaw was that he could not make good use of Sakaz's force.

If we start a war, we can take away all the missing things from other countries as we did before, and there is no need to work so hard.However, he would not say any of this. As a subordinate, he was not qualified to kidnap the will of the royal family.

After asking around to no avail, it seems that the only way to solve the food problem is to go to Syracuse and import it.

Teresica put this aside, and then read the Origin Stone observation report given by Warfarin.

Ok……

Well, there is no way to make this even harder. Now Kazdale only has field doctors who can bandage battle wounds.And the refining and mining of ores cannot be stopped. Once it stops, this country, which rarely gets up and running, will come to a halt.

Ah, my skills are exhausted!Doctors are not food, and they cannot be imported directly!It’s not early childhood education, there aren’t even teachers!

I'm hungry. Suspend the meeting. It's time to eat.

Teresica wanted to escape reality for a while, but the King of Scavengers suddenly came over at this moment.

"Your Majesty, someone is waiting for you."

"Who?"

"Someone who has the same blood as you."

.........

In the huge restaurant of the royal residence, apart from the waiter and Shining standing in the dark corner, there were only two people sitting at the dining table.

"long time no see."

"Ah."

"I didn't expect you to come out of the room."

"There was nothing I could do. Wang Tingfei forced me to inherit the throne. Plus, I saw some things and agreed immediately."

Teresica smiled helplessly. He looked at the badly worn protective gear on Mud Rock and asked, "Are you still used to it in a foreign country?"

"Fortunately, I walked around. Although I was very tired, I saw a lot of things."

Mudyan tasted the meal in front of him and gave a small compliment, "You did a great job. Kazdaele has come to life. There are fewer ruins, and many new things... have appeared."

"Really? Being praised by Sister Mudyan will make me happy for a while."

Teresica tried to ask: "Do you want to stay here for a while? Sakaz has no external communication channels. Can you tell me about the outside world? I'm very interested."

"Well, I'm here to see you and replenish some supplies. Next, I want to go visit Ursa Sletania."

Ni Yan shook his head, but then said: "My journey was not fast, and many things may have changed... Let me tell you about Colombia."

"Ah, has Sister Mudstone gone that far?"

"No, it was one of my companions who told me. His name is Big Bob and he wants to go to Colombia."

Mu Yan finished the steak on the plate and added some fingers, so Teresica had to quickly ask the waiter to bring another piece.

"Big Bob is an infected person. He said that Colombia is now opening up the wasteland to the west. The management there is attracting a large number of foreign rich people to settle. As long as you have money, you can buy everything, even Sakaz and Infected Everyone can rely on money to live a life like normal people without having to suffer exclusion."

If you have money, you can live a good life anywhere.

Teresica lowered her head and smiled quietly. He did not interrupt Mud Rock's narration, he listened quietly.

"Colombia seems to be very powerful. There are many schools and research institutes there, and they can always come up with something that doesn't exist in Terra. Big Bob said that if there is enough money, maybe even mineral sickness can be cured. .”

"Is it so awesome? It makes me want to go see it."

"Huh? Do you want to go too?"

Ni Yan was a little surprised, "Aren't you afraid of making mistakes when you leave here? There are people in my team who sneak away with supplies while I'm not paying attention."

"So what? If you really want this throne, they will take it. It's a mess. I want to get rid of it as soon as possible and go back to playing games."

Teresica looked indifferent. Anyway, there was a 'bug' that Sakaz could not attack the royal family. His life was safe, as long as he guarded against foreigners.

"Really? Hahaha..."

Mud Rock smiled slightly.

Although they just wanted to talk about Colombia at the beginning, they had already exceeded this scope before they knew it. It was not until the King of Scavengers came that their leisure was interrupted.

"His Majesty."

"I see."

Teresica stood up in pain. The country was lagging behind and there were only all kinds of troubles left for him.However, he still controlled his expression very well in front of the mudstone and gave some instructions before leaving.

"If Sister Mudstone is tired, you can take a rest here."

"Well, I will."

Teresica returned to the meeting hall. In fact, there was no other solution to the problem at hand.

"Syracuse, what is this place like?"

He asked curiously, this country can be considered adjacent to Kazdaele.

"Syracuse, strictly speaking, is very similar to us. There are many families there, but they are ruled by the 12 largest families. Among them, the family that calls itself Lady Sicily is the most powerful. She has formulated most of the rules."

The shapeshifter stood up and said: "Although Mrs. Sicily is powerful, she does not have the ability to strictly control other families. She can only let them do their own thing, as long as they do not violate her bottom line. We have also had a close relationship with Syracuse. Some small families have conducted transactions and sold them some weapons and so on, but their appetites are extremely small and they only want a little bit of everything. Then we stopped trading with them."

"How are they... building their homes?"

"It's very good. It's comparable to Victoria. I sometimes secretly go there for vacation and rest for a while."

The shapeshifter ignored the glances around him and showed a pleasant smile, "Syracuse is just like Victoria in the past. It has good land, but there are no source stone veins. Although Victoria and Letania are close to each other, I don’t pay much attention to Syracuse, I just scare him from time to time and buy some food at a low price.”

After listening to the shapeshifter, Teresica now has a general understanding of Syracuse, but the food he wants to import is not a small amount, but a time bomb that will most likely develop into a handle in the future. .

Thinking of this, he looked around and asked: "If in the future, Syracuse grasps our fatal handle... it is a fatal handle! Is Kazdaele capable of defeating Syracuse?"

As soon as these words came out, the meeting hall fell into silence again, but Teresica did not feel a stiff atmosphere from it. The King of Scavengers did not make any reaction, the Banshee's face became a little solemn, but the others were. A faint hint of joy.

The Blood Demon Lord stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, before you bring the Victoria individual crossbow and machine tools to Sakaz, as long as you want, as long as you like, we can pierce Syracuse from any direction, And now..."

The Pardoner took over the words, "We will move faster."

Chapter 21 Visiting Syracuse (refresh)

After receiving the guarantee of force, Teresica relaxed a lot, but he did not really want to start a war. This would undoubtedly make the countries of Terra turn their attention to Kazdaele again.

He personally wrote a letter greeting the Sicilian lady and expressing his desire to develop a peace deal.

The letter was sealed with fire paint and given to the shapeshifter, who disguised himself as a messenger of natural disaster in the desert and took it to Syracuse.

A week later, the shapeshifter returned to Kazdare, with a Luper in his wake.This was Lady Sicily's personal messenger, and he brought Lady Sicily's personal reply.

"Dear King Kazdaele, here is the reply that Mrs. Sicily ordered me to bring. Please read it."

Under the gaze of all the people in the royal court, the Syracuse messenger respectfully presented the letter to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Messenger."

Teresica took it and opened it with a smile. In addition to empty greetings, Mrs. Sicily also expressed her approval of the peaceful transaction and hoped to conduct cooperation discussions in a secret way.

This last point made him a little concerned. Why do we need to have secret talks?Are you afraid of any side effects after trading with Kazdel?

Teresica did not refuse, and after letting the messenger rest for a day in Kazdare, she asked the shapeshifter to return to Syracuse with him again, bringing a letter of his agreement.

The next day, the shapeshifter returned quickly, and this time Mrs. Sicily's reply contained an additional location and time. Kazdel's plan to visit Syracuse was officially launched. They would enter Syracuse as Mrs. Sicily's companions.

In addition to Teresica herself and Shining, the main personnel of the trip are still composed of shapeshifters, but this time it is also a visit, so although the shapeshifters borrowed Luper's appearance, they were fully armed and protected. The armor and weapons were recently produced, and they had not yet had time to be engraved with the Sakaz logo.
