MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 656 : The granary is empty

puff! The ground began to creep.

Under the terrified eyes of the workers, a hand stretched out, and a group of people fled in a hurry: "Help! There is a resurrection of the undead, and a natural disaster of the undead is about to occur!"

After hearing the news, the soldiers who rushed over were waiting in full battle, and then they saw that their majesty the king came out of the soil...

"Fuck, why is the deviation so big this time?" Simon spat out a mouthful of soil and said cursingly.

The space teleportation of this legendary powerhouse is really unreliable. It is clearly located in the sky, so why did it end up teleporting underground?

"It's okay, let's all go back!" Mike, who came over after receiving the news, greeted everyone to return to their respective posts.

Patting the dirt on his body, and ignoring the laughing soldiers and workers, Simon walked to Mike naturally and asked, "How many people have been relocated?"

"There are about 400,000 people, and many lords are not willing to let them go." Mike shook his head, feeling sorry for those people who did not migrate.

Any race will not be too friendly to other races, especially when they have an absolute advantage in force, if they can't stop the wolf cavalry of the orcs, one can imagine the fate of those people.

"No way, there are always some idiots in this world." Simon also sighed helplessly.

According to the news he got, the lords who stayed north of the Ye Lin River were basically wiped out, and the new master empire they chose was completely idly by.

If you choose to relocate, at least you can survive, and you will have a replacement manor to live on. This is good, not only did you fool yourself to death, but you also implicated so many people.

"How are the passages between the north and the south borders being developed?" Simon then asked.

Before he went to the empire, he asked Mike to take these people to open up the Valdai hills, so that the north and south borders would be unimpeded from then on.

There are more than 400,000 people, at least tens of thousands of laborers can be recruited, and only by working can they receive the royal family's food subsidies. Unless the family is well-off, otherwise they can only wait for death if they don't work.

That is to say, the current special situation is able to recruit so many cheap laborers. Once these people are relocated to the southern border, there will be no such good opportunities again.

"According to the progress, it will be completed in March and April next year, which will not catch up with the planting time of spring wheat," Mike said worriedly.

If it was just a small road, then these tens of thousands of laborers would be able to open it up quickly, but what Simon asked for was a wide road with a width of several hundred meters, which would take more time.

Spring wheat cannot be sown. These people will not have a grain of grain for the next year, and they have to rely on the royal family to support them. But where will the royal family get food?

"I'll think about it again. How long can you last with the food you've hoarded?" Simon asked with a frown.

People depend on food, and if they have food, they are the most docile sheep. Without food, hunger can drive them into evil spirits from hell!

The food that can feed hundreds of thousands of people is astronomical. Where can he get it?

While calculating in his mind, Mike said: "According to your instructions, we have snatched up the summer grain north of the Yelin River, and also grabbed some autumn grain. In addition, we have used the royal family's reserves to buy a large amount of grain from other countries. It should be able to Until next June."

Simon was silent for a moment: "In other words, even if we solve the problem of spring plowing, there will be at least three months of food shortage."

There is a large population in the northern border, and there is no way to vacate the fields. These migrants can only go to the southern border.

It is already November now, and the people are gathering here to open up roads. It must be too late to sow winter wheat, and there will be no summer grain in the coming year.

How to plug the holes in the middle three months?

This is still based on the fact that spring wheat can be sown. If the spring wheat is too late to sow, it will have to wait until the next year to harvest food. No one can plug such a big hole.

"I'll go to the granary to take a look." Simon had a sudden whim and wanted to check the grain storage here. He didn't want everything to be done, but in the end he collapsed because of insufficient grain storage.

"Of course, this way please." Mike was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly led him to the granary.

There has never been an example of the king personally checking the inventory before, all of which were directly reported by his subordinates, and Simon was the first.

One after another gathered together, it looked quite spectacular. Simon walked and watched, and his mental power was constantly scanning deeply.

Then, when passing a certain granary, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Mike wondered, because of the emphasis on grain storage, he would check it himself every day, so there shouldn't be any problems?

"How much grain is there in a granary?" Simon asked, frowning.

The granary he inspected before contained almost 7,000 bags of grain, but the one he inspected now only had more than 6,000 bags.

According to common sense, these unopened granaries should store more or less grain.

"4,000 bags of wheat and 4,000 bags of rice, except for those currently in use, should be 8,000 bags." Mike replied.

He divided each granary into eight areas, and each area contained a thousand bags of grain, which were neatly arranged, and if there was a deficit or shortage, it could be seen at a glance.

This time, Simon's face became even uglier, and he murmured: "No, no, there is no granary with 8,000 bags in my journey, but all of them are 7,000 bags. This one is even more extreme, it only has 6,000 bags! "

Mike's body froze, and he stood there in a daze. He knew that Simon had been promoted to become a legend, and he was absolutely capable of finding out the status of each granary, and he would not lie to him.

In other words, there is actually a food shortage!

"Open, open warehouse, inspect grain!" Mike said tremblingly.

This is the life-saving food of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for this batch of food to survive the migration period without food income.

Once there is a problem with this batch of grain reserves, a famine will break out in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom, but he obviously checks it every day, and there is no abnormality in the quantity, so how can there be a deficit?

The guards opened the two granaries that had just been inspected, and Simon and Mike walked in. At a glance, there were eight neat piles of grain piled up from grain bags, which looked normal.

"Fifty bags, fifty bags~www.novelbuddy.com~Fourth floor, is it a thousand bags?" Walking to a grain pile, Mike calculated in a panic.

Simon shook his head, and lightly picked it up in the air with his hand. The magic power gathered into an invisible mage's hand, and picked up all these grain bags.

Mike's eyes widened suddenly. In the center of the grain pile, there were actually several empty wooden boxes, not the grain bags he thought.

"Check! Don't let any moths go, call Prime Minister Medel, and tell him that if the stored grain cannot be recovered, as the prime minister, he is obliged to be responsible for it!" Simon shouted coldly.

He is quite dissatisfied with the current Prime Minister of the Cabinet. The old king is vicious, but of course it is good to be tactful and cautious.

But what time is it? The Yinyue Kingdom has changed two generations of kings, and it is in danger, yet they still want to rely on tact and caution to save their lives?

What he needs now is not tact and prudence, but trying to show his own value!

"Yes!" Mike nodded tremblingly. This is something he is responsible for. If there is a big deficit, he will of course be responsible.

Since you want him to die, don't think about any of these guys who stole grain storage!

"I'm going to the southern border to find Deborah to solve the spring plowing problem of the relocated people. Before I come back, I must see the list of those people!" Simon said bluntly.

This is not a trivial matter, it is related to the fate of the entire Silvermoon Kingdom, if Mike is not his friend and confidant, he should have been thrown into prison long ago.

"Yes, yes!" Mike nodded in response with sweat pouring down his forehead.

He also knew in his heart that as a king and a courtier, the little affection he once had was...insignificant in the country's major affairs.

"These idiots!" Simon shook his head, sighed, and disappeared in front of Mike out of thin air.
