Chapter 619 Famine

Anyone who has taken a political class knows that the currency used for circulation is valuable not because of its own value, but because of "circulation". The transfer of wealth and the sale of commodities are a kind of circulation. Obtaining the corresponding means of living through labor is also a kind of circulation. If one day, money loses the ability to circulate, then it has no value at all.

This rule of capital is also common on the plane of Faerun. Although the feature of "an extremely large amount of gold can be refined into a very small amount of fine gold" gives gold coins a high value preservation ability, but in some special cases where the economy is on the verge of collapse Every now and then, these shiny little guys lose their cult status.

And now, the Scott Empire is in the most troublesome "economic collapse moment" for the poor.

Of course, Scott’s economic crisis will definitely not be as complicated as Punk’s hometown. The business environment and professionals in the Middle Ages can still maintain a large amount of gold coins in normal times. Now, the country’s disasters are all caused by simple food. Famine—that dreadful famine that lasted three years!

In the plane of Faerun, due to the existence of a large number of uninhabited wastelands and the semi-magic crop "Ququmai", dense populations that do not meet the production conditions of the Middle Ages are very common, but it is precisely because of this population with a huge gap between rich and poor Once a famine occurs, a country's food crisis will explode exponentially.

If the one-year reduction in grain production can barely be supported by inventory, then two years of reduction in grain production is enough to cause a small-scale famine, but if this situation evolves to barren fields for three consecutive years and almost no harvest A large-scale famine will immediately erupt across the country!

At this time, the famine in an imperial country is no different from the famine in a kingdom. The nobles will try their best to drive up food prices, and the powerful "big men" and big-bellied "big businessmen" will hoard food and prepare it at any time. Run away, and the poor will face the tragic situation of "they can't buy food if they have money, and they can't even see a grain of wheat if they don't have money".

Under such circumstances, only one year has passed, and the Scott Empire has starved to death everywhere, with dead bodies lying on the streets, except for the nobles who can rest easy by relying on the grain "bought" from farmers at a price that is almost robbed. In fact, in many remote areas, there is even a situation of changing children and eating food. In less than a year, the population of the entire Scott Empire has dropped by a quarter!

This was a famine that spread to the entire Scott Empire with lightning speed. Except for a few nobles who seemed to have been prepared for a long time and kept silent, the educated people in the entire Scott Empire could not understand this. The cause of a sudden famine!

Obviously the environment in the Scott Hills is still comfortable, the soil in the fields is still fertile, and the seeds of "Ququ Mai" are obviously fine, but...why did the good grains suddenly drop sharply?

This is destined to be a question that many people can't understand. However, as the famine intensifies, few people will look for the real reason for the reduction in food production. The nobles and spellcasters all pretend to be deaf and dumb. I can only pray desperately, theoretically, the gods who will never look at this place will give the Scott Empire a little blessing.

Of course, there are still many kind-hearted people who did not let countless lives go away. They are still using their own methods to find the reasons for the reduction in food production...and exhausting all means to help innocent people.

And the "Mutual Aid Association" led by Ganatica is obviously a representative team of this kind of "people with lofty ideals". At least Ganatica himself believes that the mission of saving countless poor poor people is his duty! The indomitable "brave" has always felt that there is a voice representing the mission that inspires him to save the innocent. At the same time, there is another burning fire of vengeance that makes him transfer his anger to those nobles who selfishly hoard food

"My intuition has told me the right path, as long as I keep working hard, everyone will be saved!"

Believing the voice in his heart almost without hesitation, Ganatica became more determined about his actions.

For saving the innocent, our "braves" have always acted vigorously and without delay, especially at such an emergency, Ganatika, who usually insists on the bottom line, has no choice but to use a little disgraceful means to "rob the rich and help the poor" .

However... In Ganatica's view, those nobles who drive up food prices and hoard food are no different from murderers who killed countless innocent people. If the "murderer" can return the food that should belong to good people However, brave men who voluntarily bear blood don't mind violating the principle of "kindness and order".

Therefore, after the last batch of food in the market was declared sold out, Ganatica directly led a team of "mutual aid associations" that had already been ready to go and set off quietly. Under the cover of night, the mutual aid associations owned, The most elite team rushed to the outside of a large private estate in "Red Valley City" almost non-stop.

From a certain point of view, when deciding to play a "rogue", the "just brave" Ganatika also has the temperament of a bandit leader. Ka directly said - if you want to do it, make a big one!

Deciding to "make a big one", Ganatica rejected the proposal to sneak into the warehouse of a small nobleman to "steal" food. The brave man directly decided to find a manor of a big nobleman, and then used the storage ring to store the food stored in the manor. All the food was "moved" out.

A large amount of grain stored by a great noble... Even if the amount is not much, it is enough to save the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Just recently, for unknown reasons, those professionals who belong to the noble camp have started to stay behind closed doors, and the communication is silent. Although Ganatica instinctively felt that many aristocratic professionals and even the entire Scott Empire began to look more and more weird, but when he thought of those poor poor people who were still hungry...Forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart." "The Brave" still decided to grit his teeth and raid the manor.

The current Ganatica has a warrior level at the peak of the official level, and his excellent talent has given him a natural fighting instinct. Generally speaking, the current Ganatica still has the capital to raid a noble manor. Anyway, his purpose Just take away the food, as long as you don't meet a master-level strongman, the fearless "brave" has the confidence to make the plan a success!

"No problem! You can just rush in suddenly. No matter how powerful a nobleman is, it is impossible to send a master-level strongman to guard a granary. We will leave immediately after taking the grain. There will be no accidents, no accidents. "...

Suppressing the inexplicable tension and comforting himself, Ganatica once again turned back and silently glanced at his companion behind him.

This time the brave man can be said to have brought all the capable professionals of the entire mutual aid association. With such a "strong" lineup and the concerted efforts of his partners, the determined young man believes that he will succeed!
