Chapter 771 Grete Prepares for War and Famine

He is not allowed to touch or even ask about the affairs of foreign nobles?

Gretel was awe-inspiring. The teacher had never used such a stern tone before to stop him from interfering with the affairs of the local nobles...

Although he didn't want to care about it before. However, after all, he was directly involved in the establishment of the Public Health Management Office, using both soft and hard tactics to obtain money and power from those high-ranking officials. In the teacher's opinion, maybe if you get involved with public health, you might get involved with farming and raising food?

Gretel thought for a while, but really didn't dare. The direction of public health is not the core interest of those nobles and temples;

Pressing their heads, ordering them to accept the request of the parliament, organize manpower, take money from their pockets, and ask the God of Nature to use magic to grow food. That is really their core interest!

Whether it's asking them to bow to the parliament, asking outsiders to step into their territory, or asking them to cough up money...

Let the things of the Parliament be given to the Parliament, the things of the Temple to the Temple, and the things of the nobility to the nobility. This is the consensus of all the major forces in the Kingdom of Kent, and it is also the founding statement on the stone tablet that was erected at the beginning of the Mount Igor Mountain Trail when the city of Nevis was first established.

Although the parliament has reached an agreement with the royal family, the temple, and many sensible nobles for this action, there are hundreds of people and all kinds of people. There are always people who don’t care about the life and death of civilians, but only care about their own sphere of influence being violated;

There are always people who want to take advantage of the famine to annex the properties of free people and small proprietors to increase their own wealth;

There are always some people who are simply lazy and don’t want to work more. After all, no matter how severe the famine is, the nobles themselves will not be hungry...

These nobles went to have their heads laid one by one before the great famine came. The cost of breaking the existing rules was not something that even the entire parliament could easily pay.

"I understand, teacher." He nodded honestly:

"I won't get involved in this kind of thing. Now I... can't afford to get involved."

All he can do is to protect himself, the people around him, and at most, expand a little to protect the people around him who care about him.

"Bernard." Grete walked out of the small train station at the foot of Igor Peak. The first thing he did was to ask his loyal barbarian guard:

"I remember that I asked you to write to your tribe and ask them to stockpile enough food for two years. How is it now?"

"No reply yet, boss." The barbarian replied distressedly:

"You also know that it is common for us to send a letter back and forth for two or three months. If there are some surprises along the way, it is not unusual for there to be no reply for half a year - in fact, if it is not very urgent, it is normal for there to be no reply for a year. "

Grete rubbed her temples. When Bernard came to him as a guard, the agreed reward was to give them enough food for their tribe every year. But if his tribe is slow to react, or doesn't believe Bernard's message...

At the beginning of next year or in the middle of the year, when the famine really comes, even if you have gold coins in your hand, you won’t even be able to buy a bite to eat.

"...Forget it." Gretel sighed:

"Bernard, you can send another person - it doesn't matter how many more people you send. I will still pay them wages for this trip, and the travel expenses will be paid separately. Tell them to bring all the people from your tribe back, and I will pay them all." Hire.”

Bernard opened his mouth but stopped talking. Grete rushed to say:

"Being a security guard, a washerwoman, raising horses, cows and pigs, there is always work for them. It doesn't matter if they really don't want to come back. Let them bring enough gold coins to buy food for two years - no, three years. Buy enough food for three years and send it to your tribe at once."

Seeing his unquestionable expression, Bernard could only put away his refusal and bowed to agree. Gretel smiled and patted him:

"Hey, anyway, this gold coin is no longer a big figure for me now. If your people can have enough to eat, you can feel at ease, and I can feel at ease too, isn't it good? Speaking of which, if you advance to level 8 warrior, I haven’t given you a salary increase yet!”

"Okay, boss..."

Grete and he rode the Silver Moon Deer together and rushed back to Oak Grove Hospital. The first thing I did after returning was to ask Leon Carlos, the hospital’s executive director and chief steward, who has advanced to a third-level mage:

"How much food does our hospital consume every month, including medical staff and inpatients?"

This problem does not trouble the hospital housekeeper at all. Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, Gretel raised a finger to stop him:

"Calculate the total quantity needed from now to next year. Grain and meat that can be stored for a long time should be purchased at twice, no, ten times the standard, and stored first."

"Yes, sir." Carlos checked the record without any intention of questioning. Gretel continued to crack his fingers:

"For the people led by Bernard, if you have ten times the current number, you can save enough food and meat for two years. No, forget it, save enough for three years."

"Yes, sir."

"These things don't have to be purchased immediately. Before the end of this year, they will be purchased slowly in batches. The storage work must be done well to ensure that until next year, no, the year after next, spring famine is also terrible. Before the autumn harvest the next year, Everyone has something to eat, so they won’t go hungry!”

"Yes, sir!"

Carlos has already begun to quickly calculate in his mind how big a warehouse should be built to meet his husband's requirements. One room with two rooms is not enough, three rooms with four rooms is not enough, and a cellar needs to be dug.

The gentleman is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the poor without food. At that time, poor pregnant women will not leave the hospital, and they will have to give out a few more handouts. If there really is a great famine, and the savages come to join Captain Bernard, according to Mr. Bernard's temperament, he will probably accept as many as he can.

A group of hungry savages...

Carlos is already thinking about how to purchase two to three times the amount of grain and meat with twice the money. Then he heard the answer:

"By the way, you don't have to buy meat. You can buy more fish. If it's not easy to store, hire people to pickle the salted fish and give them a fish for a few days as payment - you can also buy a few more barrels of whale oil, which is included in the food. With enough fat, people will not be hungry easily and can save grains."

Great idea...a bucket of fish is much cheaper than the same weight of beef. However, Carlos could not bear to sneer:

Sir, why do you think that the kind of sea fish bought in large vats needs to be marinated by someone? Without enough salt, it would be impossible for them to be preserved in the port!

"Storage enough vegetables...potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, carrots, beets, cabbage, these can be stored for a long time, I will fill the cellar! I have half a year's worth of vegetables! It can also supplement vitamins..."

The voice behind was drowned in fragmentary thoughts such as "Should I make a batch of vitamins in advance...or vegetables can still grow in the year without summer...".

Alas, when the epidemic had just come to an end, food stocking strategies were shared online. What else was needed to stock up?

milk?

egg?

Or simply raise a batch of livestock yourself and stock up on feed?

——It is difficult for grass to grow well in a year without summer. How should we make silage feed?

Indulging in community group buying, I have no intention of coding.

Today I joined a group of bread, green leafy vegetables, eggs, rice, and pork. I don’t know how many orders we can make...

I did the antigen last night. I got up at 6 o'clock this morning to do the antigen and uploaded it to the group at 6:30.

I was notified at 11 noon that I would do the nucleic acid test in the afternoon, but by 6 p.m. I had not yet done the nucleic acid test, so dinner was delayed.

I need a nucleic acid code and an ID card. I scanned the nucleic acid code but couldn't find it, so I scanned the ID card again...
