Chapter 335 Food Gap

Roland rode on the Shire horse and swayed absentmindedly with the pace of the war horse. His mind had already wandered to the distant Swift River City...

"The population is still too small! Just relying on the small wave of refugees every day can't quickly accumulate the population..." Roland said with some sourness in his heart. Although he had tried his best to protect the people, the population base was only so small, and no one could create such a population out of thin air. Many residents.

"System! Is there any way to increase the rapid population?" Roland could only turn to his own arrogant system. Other people's systems call the host dad, but Roland has to call his own system grandpa... Why don't you ask and ignore it? I, even now I don’t even release the main quest...

"Whenever one castle or city is actually controlled by the host, the daily number of refugees will increase accordingly! If the castle is doubled, the city will be increased five times! The current number of refugees is tripled!" came the voice of the system.

"How do we count cities and castles?" Roland asked quickly.

"It has complete defense facilities, and the number of garrison troops is no less than 1,000. It is a castle! It has sufficient economic resources, and the population is no less than 20,000. It is a city! The host owns 2 castles!" The system popped up a detailed panel.

"6!" Roland just made a single six, and it took him a long time to get through Rapid City and he couldn't even get into the city? Roland suddenly felt sour.

Moreover, the current urban population of Delwin is tied to Rapid City. Once Delwin is completely built, Rapid City will have to leave at least nearly a thousand people...

"Five times! I want the city!" Roland grinded his teeth. At this moment, Roland was wailing like a defeated dog. Ten thousand people...you have to save for at least a year! (Not counting the increase in system sign-ins)

Roland now calculated that his daily population increase was between 10 and 20 people, which is still a three-fold increase... I think back on the original refugees in Rapid City, three or four of them joined every day.

"How's the harvest this year?" Roland raised his head and asked suddenly.

"This..." Kaslow was at a loss for words. He was either busy training those gryphon knights or running between Rapid City and Lulong Fortress some time ago. How could he have the time to care about this thing? Besides, not all such internal affairs are involved. Are Yun Feng and Lance taking care of it? The worst thing is that Archduke Nyx is taking over. How can he, a dragonrider general, know this?

"Sorry..." Roland looked at Kasluo, who had big eyes and small eyes, and instantly understood his situation.

"Let's go! Go back and ask Yun Feng!" Roland sighed.

……loquat

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Why do you come back looking half-dead?" Yun Feng looked at the somewhat decadent Roland and asked in confusion.

"How is our harvest this time?" Roland asked.

"Well, I was just about to tell you this! The harvest in Rapid City is very good! This time, nearly two thousand tons of grain were harvested! Enough to feed ten thousand people for a year! There is still a batch in Delvin, and there are probably several. It looks like about a hundred tons!" Yun Feng said with a smile, at least he doesn't have to worry about not having enough food and being stuck by others. The happiest thing about Yun Feng every day is looking at the boundless waves of wheat in front of him! Coupled with the fact that Roland had drawn a total of 10 galenic boats working hard on the fast-flowing river to fish, it can be predicted that the faces of the people of Lagland will soon lose sight of their food.

Yes, the food is still vaguely visible on the faces of ordinary people in Lagrand. Although Roland barely managed to make a living for everyone, the huge army's horse chews are the biggest consumption. The few sources of meat are in front of them. The river was flowing fast, but the monsters lurking in the water made the fishermen dare not go too deep into the river. The bottoms of the boats had been repaired several times, and the most serious one was almost torn apart. Even the fishermen on the boat were injured. A serious injury.

"That's not bad!" Roland breathed a sigh of relief. Roland didn't expect that he could be self-sufficient in food. After all, the geographical location of the Lagrand Kingdom meant that he could only be a farming nation and there was no place for hunting. Go, the most terrifying thing is those cavalry... Whether they are knights or cavalry... the mouths of those war horses can really make people collapse.

As for why the game hasn't collapsed yet, it's purely because of Roland's support through the system. Although the system basically doesn't provide serious sign-in stuff, the food in the mall is still of high quality and low price. Ten thousand wealth points can buy enough supplies for Roland's entire army to consume for more than a year.

"By the way, the current consumption of the army is very high... Your Highness..." Yun Feng said with a headache. In terms of logistics, which he was in charge of, he knew best how those big animals like bottomless pits could make... It should be said that it was a blessing. Roland asked them to collect the horse manure and compost it, otherwise there would be no place to store the big treasures made by these manure-making machines. That's right! As a member of the army of time-travelers, Roland at least knows how effective manure is on crops. Roland should have a share of the credit for this autumn harvest, otherwise everyone would really associate those dirty things with increased crop yields. . loquat

"How many people do you think we need to support these soldiers?" Roland raised his head and asked.

"At least this number!" Yun Feng raised a hand with difficulty.

"Fifty thousand? The military-civilian ratio is 1:10? It's considered a militancy." Roland laughed at himself. If the system mall goes offline one day, Roland can just find a rope to hang himself on the southeast branch.

"Well! This is the best situation! This is still with the addition of plows and manure. It also needs good weather to be able to fully rely on our people to feed this army!" Yun Feng looked at Roland with admiration. He didn't I know how much inventory Roland has, but Yun Feng is incredible that Roland can support this huge army with his own private treasury. When Yun Feng first took over the data, he was so scared that he almost threw it away. As a wise man, Yun Feng, a man with extremely high knowledge, naturally understood what this data meant... At that time, he suggested that Roland disband most of the soldiers and retain only some elite soldiers such as the Knights. However, Roland refused. He told Yun Feng that he raised the soldiers in his private treasury.

"Well, at least we can see hope..." Roland nodded and agreed with Yun Feng's words. Although 50,000 people is no less than an astronomical number for the Lagrand Kingdom now, there is always hope!

"We have no time...but we still have time!" Roland said these words meaningfully as he looked into the distance.

"..." Yun Feng was silent for a moment. He found that he could not understand the meaning of the second half of Roland's sentence. loquat

"Let's go! Come with me to the city! I heard there are many vendors in the city!" Roland smiled and dispelled the slightly heavy atmosphere between the two.

"Of course Your Highness! This is my honor!" Yun Feng also stretched out his hand. For him, whatever His Highness says is whatever he says. If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. His Highness is smarter and more capable than he thinks. many!

"I'll stop by to see old man Adilai later. I really hope that all those knight servants can successfully become trainee knights!" Roland said longingly.
