Chapter 283 Food Issues

Any large family will have corresponding troubles.

For the Ailan family, it has been rooted in the Karo Kingdom for hundreds of years, and the number of clansmen that have been reproduced during this period has reached a huge number.

Such a large number of clansmen is of course a good thing, but it is also a burden.

With the strength of the Ailan family, it is not enough to support many clansmen.

After all, no matter what, the Ailan family has only one title, and it is impossible to divide it up, let alone divide its own territory.

After all, once you divide your own territory slowly, it will be fine in a short period of time, but as time goes on, the territory that the entire Ailan family can control will inevitably become smaller and smaller, and in the end it may even be possible It will turn into a mass of loose sand.

When that time comes, the entire Alan family will probably cease to exist.

Therefore, in order to avoid the development of this situation, it is impossible to divide the territory of the Ailan family. For those clansmen who do not inherit the title, at most some economic support is given.

But this kind of support is unlikely to be too much.

It is precisely because of this that today, with the exception of a few members of the Ailan family represented by Sirifu, most of the other distant relatives are not living very well.

In order to accommodate these clansmen, Sirifu also thought of some ways in the past, such as arranging these people in his own territory to serve himself.

But obviously, these are not enough.

Although his territory is not small, it is nothing compared to the huge number of clan members of the Ailan family.

The appearance of Chen Heng in front of him obviously brought new opportunities.

After the other party goes to their own territory, whether it is to maintain the operation of the territory or other, they need people, especially trustworthy people to help.

And these Alan family members can also come in handy.

In a way, this is a win-win.

Chen Heng got enough manpower, and those got a good chance.

It can be expected that with the continuous development of Chen Heng in front of him, he will definitely have very good achievements in the future, and even the royal family must actively win over him.

Not to mention the future, just in front of him is already extremely powerful.

A second-ring warlock, a character of this level of strength, it is not a problem to support a territory, even if there is a big problem of orc invasion, it is enough to harvest his own territory.

In Sirifu's view, Chen Heng's future is destined to be bright.

Therefore, proper investment is also very necessary.

That's right in front of you.

Zhan Li, this is his biological child. Although he is not his eldest son, he is also a child he attaches great importance to. He is one of his favorite heirs.

It's a pity that no matter how much you like it, there is still only one title.

Moreover, compared to his eldest son, Zhan Li's performance is also very ordinary, and he does not show the talent of life force.

That's why Sirifu placed him under Chen Heng.

This is both an investment and a care.

In Silif's view, following Chen Heng in front of him is a low-risk, high-reward thing.

If his children do well in the future, maybe they can earn a title on their own.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Heng's reply, a smile appeared on Sirifu's face, which made him feel much more relaxed.

In the room, they continued to chat for a while, then each got up and left the place silently.

After walking out of the room, Chen Heng had nothing else to do and returned to his room directly.

And at this moment, outside his room, a figure was standing there.

It was a fairly tall young man with an ordinary appearance and a long robe. He was standing outside the door of his room at the moment, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

Chen Heng is no stranger to this person.

"Zhan Li......"

Standing in the same place, looking at the young man standing in front of him, Chen Heng looked a little surprised and couldn't help but smile: "What are you doing here?"

"Master Ekto."

Hearing Chen Heng's voice, Zhan Li turned around immediately, his face looked very respectful, and he also had some faint excitement: "According to my father's order, I am here to wait for your order."

"Is that so..."

Standing in the same place, listening to the other party's words, Chen Heng was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything more about it, just nodded: "Come with me."

The voice fell, he turned around, left from here, and walked towards the outside world.

Behind him, Zhan Li hurriedly stepped forward and followed Chen Heng together.

Before long, they came to a spacious training ground.

It was still daytime, and the sun was shining outside.

Under the faint sunlight, Hedoxili was holding a long sword on the training ground, training other soldiers seriously.

At this moment, after several months, the number of soldiers under Chen Heng has grown again.

Today, including the two of Hedosiri, he has more than 400 people on hand.

Counting the number, it is even more than the army at Sirifu's hand.

The origin of these soldiers is complex, and they were rescued during previous raids.

There were also captured prisoners.

However, after a simple tempering, these people still look decent at the moment.

Standing in front of Chen Heng, Zhan Li looked at the soldiers who were training in front of him, looking a little inexplicable.

"grown ups......"

He tentatively opened his mouth, wanting to know what Chen Heng ordered.

"For the rest of this time, you join this group of people and train here with others."

In front of him, Chen Heng spoke again, looking at Zhan Li in front of him and said, "How, can it be done?"

With those ordinary soldiers, trained here?

Hearing this request, Zhan Li was stunned subconsciously, then quickly reacted and nodded again and again: "Yes, I can."

"very good."

Listening to his words, Chen Heng nodded with satisfaction, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "In about a few days, I will leave this place and go to Khaki."

"After that, I will go to my own territory, and I am afraid that many people will be needed."

He looked at Zhan Li in front of him, smiled and said, "Zhan Li, I didn't know you would like to do me a favor."

"In order to deal with the troubles that may be encountered in the territory in the future, I hope to recruit a group of people to help me complete various tasks in the future."

"Well, about ten people will suffice."

When the words fell, Zhan Li in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to realize something quickly, with a happy expression on his face: "Sir, it's easy."

In the past few months, because of Chen Heng's actions, many people in this castle knew his power.

Many people believe that following such a powerful knight is a very honorable thing, and it is destined to be a good thing.

Therefore, if Chen Heng is willing to open his mouth and say that he needs followers, I am afraid that many people will be willing.

This is also a reminder to Chen Heng from what Sirifu said before.

Nowadays, with his strength and identity, it is not too much trouble to recruit a group of people.

Just like the two previous Hedoxili.

Chen Heng recruited the two of them without much effort at all. He just showed some of his own strength and the identity of the possible heirs of the blood of the gods. He let them both take the initiative to come forward, kowtow and worship, or even kowtow. Bringing dry food, not only did not cost Chen Heng a bit of property, but took the initiative to hand over his property to Chen Heng for use.

The same goes for those soldiers.

As captives, they not only resisted Chen Heng's admission at all, but immediately accepted it and felt quite happy instead.

Why is this so?

It was because they believed that following a strong man like him would surely bring them rich rewards in the future.

In this world, there have always been various legends circulating, among which some knights led their followers to explore other regions, and finally established a huge empire.

In fact, many countries in this world are indeed established in this way.

This kind of deed has been widely circulated around the world, which brought them some clear expectations, making them think that following Chen Heng, a strong man, can get rich rewards in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Sirifu worked so hard for him, and even took the initiative to put his child under Chen Heng's hands.

After realizing these facts, Chen Heng's thoughts began to change.

Judging from the current situation, he really lacks manpower on hand, and urgently needs a group of people to assist him.

It's okay at the moment, but when I go to a new territory to open up, I'm afraid people will be needed everywhere.

It's better to prepare now than to work hard to recruit people when the time comes.

Standing in the same place, Chen Heng flashed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, thinking so at this time.

In front of him, Zhan Li received his order, and is leaving with confidence at the moment, it seems that he is ready to find other targets.

Looking at his appearance, Chen Heng shook his head secretly, and then left silently.

Zhan Li's speed was much faster than Chen Heng imagined.

It didn't take long for him to find ten people in just two or three days.

Contrary to Chen Heng's expectations, most of these ten people belonged to the group of people who had nothing, and they were generally the second sons of wealthy families.

As the second son, they are destined to be unable to inherit the title and property of the family, so if they want to have a good life, they can only rely on themselves to find opportunities.

In their view, Chen Heng in front of him is such an opportunity.

So, they came here, even a little impatient.

Regarding this group of people, Chen Heng just did a little research and then agreed.

Zhan Li's eyesight is not bad.

Although most of them are second sons, they are from wealthy families. The basic qualities of these people are still qualified, not to mention how strong they are, but at least they can still master the writing and writing.

For Chen Heng, this is enough.

It's not that his requirements are too low, it's just that the conditions are limited and there is really no way.

Like any feudal society in the traditional sense, in this world, the literacy rate of ordinary people is still very low, in the past Macdor Kingdom, and also in the Karo Kingdom.

even to some extent

In other words, the Karo Kingdom was even more serious in this regard because of the perennial war and the invasion of the wilderness race.

In this environment, being able to read, write proficiently, and master the corresponding format is not bad.

At least being a low-level administrator should be no problem.

This thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind, and he thought so at this time.

With the passage of time, soon, the time will be half a month later.

At this time, Chen Heng handed over the matter at hand to Lamu, and then took Hedoxili himself on the road to Khaki.

They slowly walked towards their goal, and along the way, they were also observing the scenery around them.

"The abandonment of the land is serious..."

On the road, looking at the scenes around, Chen Heng flashed this thought in his heart.

Compared with the Kingdom of Macdor, the population within the Kingdom of Caro is sparse, and its development is obviously not enough.

Along the way, many lands were left uncultivated and left barren and overgrown with weeds.

This is obviously a huge waste.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Heng has realized some problems.

population, and food.

The sparse population in the Karo Kingdom means that it will be much more difficult for him to build his own territory in the future.

If there is not enough population to support it, even if there is corresponding land, there is no way to fully cultivate it.

In a way, the population itself is a huge asset.

Without a population, there is no way to truly reclaim the territory.

And relative to the population, the food problem is even more serious.

In the foreseeable period of time, they may not be able to produce their own food.

In this case, if they want to obtain food, I am afraid they can only obtain it from the outside world.

However, the land in the Kingdom of Caro was abandoned so seriously, and in the case of war, production activities would inevitably be destroyed accordingly.

Under this circumstance, how much will the price of food everywhere rise?

At this moment, Chen Heng couldn't help frowning when he thought of this question.

It is very difficult to solve this problem simply by purchasing food.

Not to mention that there is not much money in their hands to buy food, even if they have enough money, it is not an easy thing to buy a large amount of food from the market under the current circumstances.

At this moment, there is a lack of food everywhere. I am afraid that many people will store food and are not willing to sell it at all.

And the food surplus in the Carlo Kingdom is probably quite limited.

It may not be easy to obtain food from this world.

So, this plan is probably not realistic.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng pondered in his heart, and then a thought slowly flashed in his heart.

noble.

If under the current situation, where to find enough food in large quantities, then only those nobles.

Especially those nobles who own territories.

Like the aborigines in Chen Heng's previous life, the lords of this world also have the habit of storing food.

This is not only because of necessity, but also because a large part of the taxes they receive on weekdays is food.

They collect taxes from the people, and what they eventually reap is various agricultural products.

And these things have a very unique quality.

In a harvest year, a large amount of grain appears, and it is often not easy to sell. Even if it is sold, the price is often very low.

But really wait until the year of disaster, when the price of these things goes up, but those who have enough food on hand are reluctant to sell.

Especially in this situation.

Those lords must have a lot of food in their hands.

Just like Sirius.

During the past few months, the soldiers under Chen Heng have been supported by Sirifu's territory.

But even so, for Sirivo, the pressure does not seem to be too great.

From this angle, something can be seen.

Maybe things would be easier if you targeted this group directly.

The only question is, how should Chen Heng get the food out of this group of people.

Counting on this group of people to bleed is not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

In the ensuing time, while investigating, they slowly moved forward towards Khaki.

Finally, after a few more days, they reached the city.

Outside the huge city, a thick city wall surrounds the entire city.

With Hedoxili, Chen Heng walked on this street.

Compared with other cities in the outside world, the city in front of us doesn't seem to have much problem. On the street, pedestrians are walking on the road. Although many people are in a hurry and their faces are solemn, at least there is no other. The misery of the place.

At this moment, with the beginning of the disaster, many people everywhere have been unable to survive and become slaves everywhere.

However, this situation is rare in this city.

Look at this, although the disaster

It has come, and it has caused a very far-reaching impact, but for the time being, it has not caused great pressure on the city.

In this regard, Chen Heng looked at it like this, and after a long time, he turned around and returned to his residence.

The residence he was in was arranged for him by the Carlo royal family. It was a very spacious manor.

The manor is very spacious, and although it looks a bit shabby, at least it is no problem to accommodate Chen Heng and his party.

Chen Heng just walked in this area, observing everywhere.

From his point of view, the city of Khaki is actually very ordinary, not to mention many cities he has seen before, even if it is compared to some cities in the Kingdom of Markdo, it is a lot worse.

However, relatively speaking, perhaps because of its standing in the wasteland and bordering foreign races, the city's defenses are not bad. Not only is the city wall built very tall, but the defense facilities are also perfect everywhere.

Outside the city, there are several other small fortresses that surround the city.
