- "The next move should be here!"
On the huge map, a chess piece fell again. At this moment, Luo Ji was gradually grasping the entire battle situation into his own hands.
Later, the season quietly entered winter
This winter, for many of Robert Smith's people, was basically a nightmare.
The harvest this autumn has been so poor that it has resulted in an astonishing drop in food prices.
The imperial military is expropriating grain on a large scale. At the same time, big merchants who are aware of the sense of crisis, and some wealthy families have also started to buy grain in large quantities, just to avoid the possible outbreak of famine in the future.
However, what is ridiculous is that their approach has greatly contributed to the outbreak of famine.
The food in the empire was procured in large quantities, resulting in less and less food on the market.
In the second month after the beginning of winter, grain stores in various cities simply closed their doors.
The civilians who had nowhere to buy food and no money to buy food became the first victims of the famine.
And by the time Robert Smith rushed back to his empire in a transport vehicle as fast as possible, the situation couldn't have been worse.
The northern border fell, and famines, large or small, had begun to break out in cities large and small within the empire.
Facing the threat of death, some hungry refugees even turned into thugs, attacked grain shops, and even rushed into other people's homes to snatch food.
In just two short months of winter, there have been no fewer than fifty similar incidents.
Looking at the report in front of him, Robert Smith's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.
He could not accuse the ministers under his command of buying food in large quantities, because it was an important material to ensure the combat power of their imperial army.
During the war, the army was short of food? That's not far from death.
So even if others were in the empire at that time, I am afraid they would have made the same decision.
And what was beyond his expectation was something earlier.
Robert Smith never expected that the cold current from the northern border of the civilization of the world would have such a huge impact on the farming of their empire.
In the first year of the all-out war, no one took the change in the harvest of this crop to heart.
After all, crops, depending on the climate and environment, have a few years of good harvests and some years of poor harvests.
But at that time, no one thought that the root cause of the poor harvest was the bitter cold.
In the past few years, it can be said that the cold current has spread towards them bit by bit, and the impact on their empire is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
It is precisely because of this that the harvest is getting worse every year.
Some crops, the output has declined, which is still good, and there are many other crops that simply froze to death
In comparison, Raymond Southey's orc civilization is in a much better situation than Robert Smith's civilization.
The fundamental reason is that the orcs themselves are not good at farming.
But Raymond Southey is a player after all, no matter how bad he is, he can still produce some crops.
Therefore, when choosing crops, Raymond Southey often chooses those crops that are easy to grow, have high yields, are tenacious, and can grow even in harsh environments.
This approach led to a very single type of crops in the orc civilization, but it also succeeded in feeding these non-picky eaters.
Under this premise, the impact of the bitter cold climate on the crops of the orc civilization is almost negligible at present. The special situation of their own civilization, on the contrary, allowed them to escape successfully by accident.
At this moment, Robert Smith's entire empire was shrouded in a lingering haze, and the outbreak of famine almost brought about a series of subsequent troubles.
Recently, a large number of hungry and cold people have taken to the streets to protest and march!
The bodies of refugees can often be found on street corners, alleys, and beside garbage dumps.
Within the empire, the entire current situation is in turmoil.
Paralyzed on his own throne, Robert Smith never thought that at this point, if he was not careful, he would fall into such a vicious circle!
The bigger the civilization, the more dangerous it is. If one step is wrong, it may collapse completely.
photo?If this momentum continues, he does not know how many refugees his empire will starve to death this winter.
In the current situation, if he wants to stabilize the situation, the best way is to open warehouses to distribute food and help refugees.
However, this food is equally important to his imperial army!
How much food do we need to make these refugees survive this winter?
In this way, after the winter is over, will the army of his empire still have food to fight?
Exhaled heavily and long, the irritability in his heart made Robert Smith's face extremely ugly.
Later, as if he had made up his mind, he slammed his fist on the table, and then announced several names to the soldiers beside him.
Each of those names is a well-known big merchant in his empire. Before the famine completely broke out, food and commodity prices soared, and these guys were definitely driving up prices.
At the same time, Robert Smith was even more convinced that these guys definitely had an astonishing amount of food in their hands.
However, in the past, these big merchants have been driving the economy and trade of his empire, and at the same time, the amount of tax paid each year has also satisfied him, so Robert Smith has always turned a blind eye to them. .
But now, the situation is special. If you want to get through this difficulty, you must 'borrow' enough food from them. I hope this group of guys will be sensible.
Not long after the soldiers left, they ran back soon.
This situation made Robert Smith frown.
"What's wrong?"
"Report to the Great Emperor, the people you want to invite have already arrived."
Robert Smith was stunned when he heard this, and then his brows quickly stretched.
These merchants can be regarded as cunning and cunning. After knowing that he came back and faced with this situation, he would definitely take them to the knife, so he took the initiative to send them to the door without waiting for him to call someone.
Facing this self-awareness, on the contrary, it made him feel a little bit uncomfortable before he hit hard.
Directly ordered someone to prepare a rich dinner table, then shook the red wine glass in his hand, and accepted the food offered by several big merchants.
At the same time, he obviously had to express something.
These big merchants are already rich enough, so Robert Smith naturally knows what they want.
According to the amount of food he contributed, he conferred the titles of 'Jazz' and 'Baron' on these big merchants respectively.
For merchants who have made enough money, what they want now is reputation and status, and in the empire, the title of nobility is the best synonym for reputation and status!
