Pirates from island owner to king

"The mission is completed and the reward is lawful value (30)."

"A new mission is triggered. Do you want to accept it?"

When he became the owner of the island, Wang Hai immediately received the golden finger reminder.

Without rushing to check, Wang Hai looked at the three people present and said: "From now on, I will have to worry about you three."

Ananda was the first to express his position, even changing his title: "Island owner, don't worry, Nan will definitely do his best."

Wang Jin followed closely and also changed his title: "Assisting the island master is your duty, I don't dare to slack off even a little bit."

In the end, only Chuanpu remained.

Both of them had expressed their opinions before, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Sit down and talk."

Wang Hai sat on the main seat and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

Then he continued: "General Ananda, please let people pass the news on."

Although, Wang Hai could also guess that there was probably a lot of discussion outside about him becoming the island owner.

Moreover, the residents of the island are pessimistic about whether he can lead everyone well after becoming the owner of the island. Not surprisingly, they are all pessimistic.

However, now that I have taken this position, I still need to formally inform everyone.

Let his position as the owner of the island become justifiable.

Ananda had no objection and immediately summoned his own soldiers to spread the news.

The other two didn't say anything.

After the soldiers left, Wang Hai looked at the three of them and said again: "Although everyone is not here yet, there are some things that cannot be postponed. I need to know more about it, and then we can discuss how to deal with it."

In his position, he has his own government.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Hai to become the island owner, get a golden finger reward, and then turn around and do nothing.

This is not his code of conduct.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, Wang Hai didn't come up and do anything ridiculous.

It’s about knowing that you care about big things. Although it’s a bit surprising, it’s a good thing.

This time, Wang Jin was the first to speak. He glanced at Ananda, and then said: "The little grain someone brought back was less than one-tenth of the gap, so the biggest trouble we face is still grain. shortage."

"Be specific."

Wang Hai had previously known that the island was short of food, but he never knew how much it was.

Wang Jin is in charge of finance and obviously knows this aspect well, and directly gave a set of data.

200 tons of rice noodles.

50 tons of meat.

Even if Ananda brought back almost 20 tons of rice and noodles, and several tons of meat, there was still so much shortage.

More than 3000 people.

Among them are nearly half of the farmers who engage in heavy physical labor and are responsible for reclamation, farming, and water conservancy on the island.

Now, although farming has ended, reclamation and water conservancy have not stopped.

Because before, before winter, only 3000 acres of land were reclaimed and planted with wheat.

The seeds used are already excellent varieties brought from the Kingdom of Flowers, and can achieve a yield of more than 500 kilograms per mu.

But when it was time to harvest, the output was only about 750 tons, which was far from enough to feed more than 3000 people.

and so.

After the farming was completed, new fields were cultivated without stopping.

They do a lot of heavy work, and these farmers eat a lot every day.

Just eating rice and noodles is not enough. It is best to eat some meat every day, otherwise it will not last long.

In addition to the more than 1500 farmers who need to consume a lot of food, the remaining two hundred soldiers also consume a lot.

There are many ferocious beasts on this island, which requires constant defense.

In addition, in troubled times, the force cannot be slacked off, so the two hundred soldiers need to practice physical skills every day, and consume a lot of food and meat.

There are still about 1200 people, old and young, who want to eat enough. Even if they are just hungry, they still need a lot of food.

These add up.

Before the wheat harvest in three months, even with some savings, the island will still face a shortage of 200 tons of rice and noodles and a shortage of 50 tons of meat.

It is said that if you are not a family member, you will not know that oil and salt are expensive. Now Wang Hai has realized it.

he asked again.

Wang Jin told him that the island's rice, flour and meat reserves could only last for more than a month.

"Uncle, how much money do we have left, enough to buy the missing food?"

Problems must be solved, Wang Hai thought for a while and asked.

just.

The three people present were silent for a while.

When he was puzzled, Ananda finally sighed and told the reason.

The problem is not whether there is money, but that it is difficult to buy enough food even if you have money.

original.

The reason why Wang Zheng and others were destroyed after encountering the Big Mom Pirates was because the Big Mom Pirates took a fancy to their food.

With the advent of the Great Pirate Age, due to pirate attacks, especially on some islands, it was difficult for residents to maintain stable production, resulting in food shortages.

The Big Mom Pirates were fighting all over the new world, and they also needed to consume a lot of food, so they plundered everywhere.

As a result, food that was already in short supply was no longer available.

Previously.

They were able to buy some food on the first island they encountered after going out to sea because this island was close to the windless zone and deviated from the route, so there were usually no pirates visiting it.

But now even the Big Mom Pirates are here, and the results can be imagined.

That is to say, Ananda was decisive and quickly returned to Taoyuan Island with not much food after failing to recover the body at sea.

Otherwise, this little food might be snatched away by the Big Mom Pirates who arrived later.

This is the case not only in the New World, but also in the first half of the Four Seas and the Grand Line.

At least Xihai and even Wang Hai remembered it clearly.

A few months ago, their fleet set out from the Flower Country in the Western Sea. Almost all the islands they encountered along the way were raided by pirates.

"Is there no other way?"

The three of them were silent again, and finally Chuan Pu couldn't help but said: "Unless we hunt the sea kings, the food shortage problem will be difficult to solve."

Wang Hai's eyes lit up after hearing this, but then the words of Ananda and Wang Jin gave up his thoughts.

This is the windless zone, the nest of the Neptune species. Hunting the Neptune species here is not just seeking death, but seeking death.

The sea area near the windless zone is also the hunting ground for sea kings, and it is difficult to catch many seafood.

Going to farther seas, not to mention how long it takes to get back and forth, you also need to consider the threat of pirates and the extreme climate changes in the New World.

Even if you return to the West Sea to fish, just crossing the windless zone will take almost more than a month.

after all.

There is no wind in the windless zone. In this era, their boats do not have independent power and rely solely on human power for rowing.

This path doesn't work either.

There are many beasts on the island, but they are also very powerful. Now the two generals, each leading hundreds of soldiers, can barely stop them with the help of wooden castles.

If you take the initiative to attack, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In the end, the few people did not come up with a good solution. Unless they stopped land reclamation, everyone cut back on food and clothing and remained in a state of barely surviving starvation.

In this way, it can last until the food harvest.

But in this way, the harvested food will only be enough for half a year at most, barely enough to last until the second harvest of food in the second half of the year.

In other words, if this continues, although everyone can survive, it will be difficult for them to develop.

Once there is any external crisis, it may be catastrophic.

Before Ananda left, he stopped talking.

At this time, Wang Hai only placed his hope on Golden Finger and was in a hurry to check, so he didn't notice it.

Seeing that he was distracted, Ananda finally sighed and left.

"receive."

"lottery."

After the three people left, Wang Hai couldn't wait to return to the room and receive the mission reward.

"With 30 points of lawful value, you can draw 30 draws. I hope you can draw something suitable to solve the current problem."

Wang Hai didn't even bother to check the new mission, and couldn't wait to use the lawful value to draw a lottery.
