Mount & Blade: Wind of War
Chapter 320 Buying Food
In the Lonely Mountain Castle in the Wilderness, the lights have been on for a while, and the clerks are busy moving documents day and night.
After the Battle of Hell, Rhodes closed himself off for a while to comprehend and digest what he had learned, but after coming out, he also threw himself into the busy government affairs, although Moken, Janice, Likia, Qiao Lin and others can be regarded as the best of the moment.
However, if you want to allocate the resources and funds of the territory on a large scale without affecting the normal operation of the territory, and minimize the negative impact, this is still a big project, and all aspects must be considered and appeased.
On this day, many affairs at hand finally came to an end temporarily. After enjoying dinner together, Moken came to Rhodes and said:
"My lord, sometimes I wonder, is there a destined fate in this world, or is it because we believe in the corresponding prophecy and gradually move towards the corresponding fate?"
In the room full of documents, Moken sat tiredly on the chair next to Rhodes, he looked up tiredly and stared at the beautiful chandelier on the ceiling.
"I tend to believe that the future has countless possibilities, and every choice at every moment affects the future destiny. Moken, I know what you want to say."
"Haha, sir, could the war in the future predicted be indirectly caused by our large-scale hoarding of food? Acquiring too much wealth may not be a good thing."
Having too much money may not be a good thing. This is true for individuals and for a force.
"Moken, as long as we do something, there will be a risk of making mistakes. Don't be afraid of mistakes. Only dead people will not make mistakes, but he can't do anything either."
"If the prophecy of the oracle is true, and there will be a large-scale drought in the future, then whether we hoard food or not, war and death will come. The survival basis of our northern neighbors is very weak. Once a large-scale drought occurs, they have no choice but to choose to export pressure to the outside world and relieve internal conflicts by plundering. At that time, we will bear the brunt."
"If we are fully prepared, they will not have enough food to gather enough troops to fight a protracted war with us, and our soldiers will not have to starve to protect the tribesmen behind them."
"In this world, no one is absolutely right. Moral correctness may lead to the destruction of civilization and race. When civilization and race are destroyed, what will morality depend on?"
Rhodes was once a very old man, his skin was getting looser, his senses were declining, and his body was dull. He could not taste the most delicious food, and he did not have the enthusiasm of the past even when facing the most beautiful girls.
Therefore, after traveling through time, knowing the background of Mount \u0026 Blade: Wind of War, Rhode had a great desire in his heart:
"In the background of Mount \u0026 Blade: Wind of War, there are immortal gods in the end. Since I have encountered such a thing as traveling through time, why don't I pursue it with all my strength once..."
Therefore, in the subsequent process, when faced with many choices, Rhode's choice is to face it head-on, grit his teeth and endure it, rather than escape.
Because if you want to pursue immortality, deification and other great goals, you must be brave and hardworking and hone yourself. If you just want to live in a corner, play with territory management and maids, then he can indeed fight bandits with militia in Redwood Town.
But Rhode knows very well that the background of this fantasy world is a huge war. A moment of weakness and escape may only bring a few years or more of comfort. In the end, when destruction comes, he will have no room for resistance.
For the pursuit in his heart and for self-protection, Rhode made many seemingly risky decisions to obtain the greatest benefits, but he had obtained a lot of information through Hei Yin in his previous life: from ancient times to the present, all strong people are people who can grit their teeth and go on after going through twists and turns.
This was true for Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Zhaolie, Emperor Shengzu, and all those who have achieved great success in business. Ren (cheated), Liu (bankrupt), Wang (cheated, bankrupt), Ma (several failures and several attempts), which one of them was not ambitious and experienced setbacks, and finally came out with gritted teeth and proud bones?
Relying on certain advantages of their own, they can find a place to develop slowly. In the period of peace, they can expect to accumulate through the efforts of several generations. However, in the context of turbulent world affairs, people without the courage and tenacity to brave the wind and waves will hardly have the opportunity to develop.
The life experience brought by the information explosion in the previous life made Rhodes know how to become a strong man. In this life, his endowment that is almost innate to the ancient gods has given him a greater grasp of success. The combination of the two has allowed Rhodes to step by step to today and become the youngest Grand Duke of the Styak Empire.
The Lonely Mountain Castle sent out nearly eight layers of troops and nearly eight layers of financial savings from the entire force for this grain purchase operation. It even used up the magic crystal reserves and even borrowed large amounts from surrounding forces to purchase grain almost crazily.
The main generals of the Lonely Mountain Castle, Fatis, Raymond, Cress, Airen, and even Atiman, Yamila, Likia Qiusha, and James were sent out to collect grain.
Except for Lord Rhodes, the only military general in the Lonely Mountain Castle who was stationed in the city to train new soldiers was Resarit, who had been guarding the house for thousands of years.
Rhodes believed that during the slack season, all adult males in the Lonely Mountain Castle should participate in basic military training to protect their homes and the city when necessary.
If this was an order issued by a subsequent lord during peacetime, it might cause strong dissatisfaction or even resistance among the people, but this is such an order issued by the first generation lord Rodhart at Lonely Mountain Castle in the wilderness. , everyone thinks it’s nothing, just support and support.
However, this Lesarite is very tiring. The most important thing is that his strictness and harshness are not suitable for dealing with these non-professional soldiers. Intellectually, Lesarit also knows that he should lower his standards, but the habits he has developed over the years are not enough. How can it be easily changed?
On the other side, a large-scale grain transportation team with a clear organizational structure, with the assistance of financial personnel and the protection of Gushan Castle soldiers, quickly rushed to various grain-producing areas on the mainland.
The major provinces of the Styak Empire and even the grain-producing areas of the Northern Orc Empire were not spared.
They buy and transport as much grain as there is in the local area. In some places with very abundant grain, if the transportation capacity of Gushan Castle's own transportation team is not enough, they are willing to spend money to hire local transportation teams to help.
Of course, the price of food must be negotiated, and there must be discounts and discounts for large purchases. However, the financial officials of Gushan Castle do not seem to be obsessed with this. They usually complete this transaction quickly before moving on to the next one, as if It was as if the Lonely Mountain Castle in the wilderness was experiencing famine, which allowed grain merchants from all over the continent to make a fortune. They fawned over these fools who spent money without feeling the danger that was coming quietly.
Businessmen can be crazy about money, and governments of various countries are not all stupid people. However, Gushan Castle is willing to trade the strategic resource magic crystal. As the magic tide surges and the extraordinary returns, this is a strategic material!
No matter how rational the officials were, they could no longer hold back under the soul-stirring bewitching power of the magic crystal, and allowed the Gushan Castle's transportation team to transport away a large amount of local grain reserves.
Because the grain harvests in the past few years have been very good, and due to technical limitations, it is difficult to preserve large amounts of stored grains. Even if all the stored grains are emptied now, as soon as the autumn grain arrives, the emptied granaries will naturally be refilled.
"The wilderness is not suitable for growing food. Gushan Castle is a city of minerals and commerce. It is normal for such a mountain city to store a large amount of food. There is no need to worry too much."
Such a consensus has been reached in the hearts of everyone. However, there are too many businessmen, officials and regions who have reached this consensus during this period.
