Chapter 623: famine.
Anyone who has taken political classes knows that the currency used for circulation is valuable not because it is valuable, but because it is valuable because of "circulation." The transfer of wealth and the sale of commodities are a kind of circulation. Obtaining the corresponding means of subsistence by labor is also a kind of circulation. If one day, money loses its ability to circulate, then it has no value at all.
This capital rule is also universal on the plane of Phelan. Although the feature of "a very large amount of gold can be refined into a very small amount of fine gold" gives gold coins a high ability to maintain their value, but some special economies are on the verge of collapse. At any moment, these shiny little guys will lose their status as sought after by people.
And now, the Scottish Empire is just right at this "moment of economic collapse" that is most difficult for the poor.
Of course, Scott’s economic crisis will certainly not be as complicated as punk’s hometown. The business environment and professionals in the Middle Ages can still maintain the turnover of large sums of gold coins. Now, the disaster in this country comes entirely from pure food. Famine-that terrible famine for three consecutive years!
On the plane of Faerun, due to the existence of a large number of uninhabited wasteland and the semi-magical crop "Ququmai", dense populations completely incompatible with the production conditions in the Middle Ages are very common, but it is precisely because of this huge population gap between rich and poor. In dense conditions, once a famine occurs, a country’s food crisis will explode exponentially.
If one year’s reduction in grain production can barely be supported by inventories, then a two-year reduction in grain production is enough to trigger a small-scale famine, but if this situation evolves to three consecutive years of barren fields and almost no harvest, A large-scale famine will immediately break out across the country!
At this time, there is no difference between a famine in an imperial country and a famine in a kingdom. Nobles will try their best to drive up food prices. Powerful "big men" and potbellied "big businessmen" will hoard food and be ready at any time. Run away, and the poor will face the tragic state of "you can't buy food if you have money, and even if you don't have money, you can't see a grain of wheat."
Under such circumstances, only a year has passed, and the Scottish Empire has been starving everywhere, with dead bodies on the streets, except that the nobles can sit back and relax by relying on the grain "buy" from the farmers at nearly obvious prices. In many remote areas, there was even a situation of changing children and eating. In less than a year, the population of the entire Scottish kingdom dropped by a quarter!
This was a great famine that spread to the entire Scottish kingdom at lightning speed. Except for a few great aristocrats who seemed to be prepared for a long time, they could not understand this. The reason for the sudden famine!
Obviously the environment in the Scottish hills is still comfortable, the soil in the fields is still fertile, and there is no problem with the seeds of "ququmai", but...why is the production of good grain suddenly reduced by a large margin?
This is destined to be a problem that many people are puzzled by, but as the famine intensifies, few people are going to find the real reason for the reduction in food production. The nobles and spellcasters all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the poor people. I can only pray in despair. Theoretically, I would never look at the gods here to give a little blessing to the royal kingdom of Scott.
Of course, there are still many kind-hearted people who have not let countless lives pass away. They are still using their own methods to find the reasons for the reduction in food production... and they have exhausted any means to rescue innocent people.
And the "mutual aid association" led by Ganatika is obviously the representative team of this kind of "people with lofty ideals", at least Ganatika himself believes that his mission to save countless poor people is incumbent! The indomitable "brave" has always felt that there is a certain mission voice inspiring himself to save the innocent, and at the same time, there is another burning fire of revenge that makes him transfer his anger to the selfish nobles who are hoarding food.
"My instinct has already told me the right way. As long as I keep working hard, everyone will be saved"!
Almost without hesitation, he believed the voice in his heart, Ganatika became more determined to his actions.
For saving the innocent, our "brave" has always been vigorous and resolute, without delay, especially in such an emergency, Ganatika, who usually insists on the bottom line, has to choose to use a little shameless means to "rob the rich and help the poor." .
But... in Ganatika’s view, those nobles who drive up food prices and hoard food are no different from murderers who have killed countless innocent people. If the "murderer" can be allowed to return the food that should belong to the good people. , The brave who voluntarily carries blood does not mind violating the principle of "kindness and lawfulness".
So, after the last batch of food on the market was announced to be sold out, Ganatika directly led a team of "mutual aid associations" that had been ready to go out quietly. Under the cover of night, this mutual aid association 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", Ganatika, the "righteous brave", also had the temperament of a bandit leader. Faced with the expectations of the "men", Ganati was full of courage. The card directly said-make a big one if you do it!
Ganatika, who decided to “make a handful of big”, rejected the proposal to sneak into the little noble’s warehouse to “steal” food. The brave brave directly decided to find a big noble’s manor to start, and then use the storage ring to store the manor. All the food is "moved" out.
A large amount of food stored by a large nobleman...even if the amount is small, it is enough to save the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Just recently, for whatever reason, those professionals who belonged to the noble camp began to keep their doors behind closed doors, and the communication was silent. Although Ganatika instinctively felt that many aristocratic professionals and even the entire Scottish kingdom began to look more and more weird, but the thought of those poor poor people who were still hungry...forcibly suppressed the uneasy heart " "The Brave" still decided to raid the manor.
The current Ganatika has a warrior level at the peak of the official level, and his excellent talents have given him a natural fighting intuition. Generally speaking, Ganatika still has the capital to raid an aristocratic manor, anyway, his purpose Just take the food away, as long as you don’t encounter a master-level strong, the fearless "brave" will have the confidence to make the plan a success!
"No problem! Just rush in. No matter how powerful aristocrats are, it is impossible to send a master-class powerhouse to guard a granary. We will leave immediately after taking the food. There will be no accidents, no accidents. "............
Suppressing the inexplicable tension and comforting herself, Ganatika once again looked back and silently glanced at the companion behind him.
This time the brave can be said to have brought all the capable professionals of the entire mutual aid association. With such a "strong" lineup, with the concerted efforts of partners, the determined young man believes that he will succeed!
