Kun Zheng was also feeling impatient. They had thought of all the methods they could think of in the past few days, but they still could not find any cheap food. Now, it seemed that the price of food would have to go up even if they did not.
Laura put down the letter in her hand and said with a bitter smile, ” &Quot; if we don’t increase the price of the grain, we will lose money. Although we have obtained some cheap grain these days, it’s too little. It can only last for about ten days. I’m afraid we won’t be able to get even a single grain of rice in the future. By then, the news from ika plain will probably be released, and those guys will take action. &Quot;
Kun Zheng smiled bitterly. &Quot; this is not the scariest thing. If the ika Plains goes out of production, how much food will the entire Versailles Duchy need? Furthermore, they would have to at least hold on until next year’s grain production before the grain price would drop. In these few months, how much food would the entire Versailles Duchy need? With such a huge shortage of food, it would be enough to damage the foundation of the Versailles Duchy. By then, how many civilians would be unable to afford food?”
Laura also smiled bitterly. They were at their wit’s end in this situation, and could only hope that the Versailles family would be able to survive this.
At this moment, a servant walked in and said to Laura, ” “Miss, mister Zhao Hai’s warrior Lin Ge requests an audience.”
Laura and kun were both stunned, but Laura immediately said, ” “Quickly invite him in.” Laura was now paying more and more attention to Zhao Hai. When she returned from Rocky Mountain, she immediately went to see the scaled horned horse that Greem had left behind.
After looking at it, Laura finally understood what Zhao Hai meant when he said that his scaled wildebeest was the best. Zhao Hai’s scaled wildebeest was really good. Although it still looked like a scaled wildebeest, its endurance, speed, and even defensive power had increased significantly. Even a normal 2nd rank Magic beast might not be much stronger than this scaled wildebeest.
It was precisely because of this that Lola valued Zhao Hai even more. She really could not understand how Zhao Hai had managed to do it. Why did all the ordinary things become so much better in his hands?
After a while, green came in. This time, he came to deliver oil to Laura and the others, buy some bags to store corn, and talk to Laura about the food problem.
Before coming here, Grimm had already visited the ika Plains with Zhao Hai. They had discovered that the ika Plains was going to go out of production, which was out of their expectations.
Zhao Hai released the insects from over 10000 mu of land. He thought that it would be good enough if they could eat 100000 mu of wheat. After all, the Versailles family knew how to kill insects.
However, when Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the ika Plains, they realized that the insects were out of control. They did not dare to get too close, and they did not know why the insects had not been attacked yet. However, they were sure that the Versailles family did not have any good solutions to deal with the insects.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai didn’t dare to be careless anymore. After he returned to the origin space, he didn’t plant corn but bamboo rice.
The bamboo rice produced more than the corn. However, only the rice husks and bamboo rice could be extracted from the rice husks. The husks were useless, so Zhao Hai had never planted bamboo rice. Now, looking at the situation in ika plain, Zhao Hai had no choice but to plant bamboo rice in his own space. He even planted bamboo rice on all the land. He didn’t even plant oil trees anymore.
Bamboo rice was a high-yield crop. One mu of land could produce more than 5000 kilograms of crops. It was also rated as a level 5 crop by the realm. It only took ten hours for it to ripen. However, it was only a crop for one season. Once it ripened, it would have to be replanted. However, it could produce two seasons a day. In other words, Zhao Hai could obtain at least 50000 Kilograms of food a day.
A few hundred thousand catties of grain was not a small amount. However, Zhao Hai did not plan to use bamboo rice to make a fortune. He was the one who started the ika plain incident. If he were to make such a fortune at this time, he would feel guilty.
Now, Zhao Hai had nearly two million Jin of corn and one million Jin of bamboo rice in his hands. This time, he had sent green to Casa City to take care of those three things, and also to see how the situation was in the city.
This time, Grimm came with five scale wildebeest carriages. In addition to him, there were a few zombies driving the carriages. These zombies now looked no different from ordinary people. If they were not high-level Warriors or mages, they would not be able to detect their abnormality. That was why Grimm dared to bring them out.
The carriage was filled with Fruit Oil, which was for Laura and the others to try selling. The fruit Oil they produced was much better than the ones outside. However, Zhao Hai had never thought of increasing the price as it was not the right time.
Grimm was surprised when he arrived at the city of Kass. He thought that there were already people snatching food in Kass city, but it seemed that there was no such thing at all. Everyone was still living a normal life, without any signs of chaos.
When they arrived at the shop, Grimm took a look at the price of food in the shop. There was no increase in the price, and it was still the normal price.”Could it be that the Versailles clan has enough food in reserve? That’s strange.”
After that, Grimm revealed his identity and said that he had something to discuss with Laura. The servant didn’t dare to delay and immediately reported to Laura. Laura also immediately invited Grimm to the living room in the backyard.
Grimm followed the servant to the door of the living room and saw Laura. Kun and Nicole were already standing at the door to welcome him. Grimm did not act arrogantly and stepped forward to greet Laura.”Greetings, Miss Laura.”
Laura hurriedly smiled. &Quot; you’re too polite, Sir. I’m really honored that you could come. Please come in. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he led Clint into the living room.
After they sat down in the living room, Laura didn’t stand on ceremony and directly said to Grimm, ” “May I know why you have come to Kass city this time? Can Laura be of any help?”
Green smiled and said, ” Miss Laura, you’re too kind. We’re here to trouble you. The oil press we bought a while ago has already started to extract oil. We’ve brought 20000 pounds of Fruit Oil this time. We’d like to ask Miss Laura to help us sell it. What do you think? ”
Laura was stunned for a moment and then curiously said, ” it’s already produced. Hehe, Sir, you’re really fast. However, please forgive me for my rudeness. I still have to look at the quality of the fruit Oil before I can make a decision. &Quot;
Green smiled. &Quot; that’s normal. We’re very confident in our own oil fruits. Now the oil is outside. Please go and check it out, Miss Laura. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he stood up and led the way.
Laura and kun also stood up and followed Grimm out of the door. At this moment, Grimm had already ordered the undead creatures to drive the carriage to the backyard and it was parked there.
Laura took a glance at the zombies that were driving the carriages. She only felt that these people were lifeless and didn’t feel anything unusual. However, kun Zheng could tell at a glance that these ” people ” who were dressed like Warriors were undead creatures. Moreover, they looked like zombies.
&Nbsp; just as Laura was about to step forward, kun Zheng pulled her back. Laura looked at kun Zheng in confusion, but kun Zheng was looking at the zombies warily.
Kun Zheng had seen zombies before, so he knew that normal zombies would not look like the zombies that were driving the carriage. Normal zombies were covered in rotten flesh, which could be seen at a glance. However, these zombies looked like ordinary people, which meant that they were high-level zombies. High-level zombies carried corpse poison, which could poison people with just a little bit of it. It was very powerful.
Kun Zheng wasn’t afraid that Ge Lin would harm them, but he was afraid that Laura would accidentally encounter these zombies and get poisoned. That would be very troublesome.
Grimm also saw the two’s actions, and he smiled. &Quot; &Quot; don’t worry, Mister kun Zheng. These are all your servants. They’ve been specially refined by you, so the poison in their bodies won’t be released easily. It will only be released during battle, so don’t worry. &Quot;
Kun Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and let go of Laura. Laura looked at the people driving the carriage in confusion and turned to green, ” “Sir, you’re saying that these people are Mr. Zhao Hai’s servants? They are undead creatures?”
Gerlyn nodded. &Quot; that’s right. This is Sir’s newly subdued zombie. He used a secret technique to create it. Although it looks like a normal person, it’s an undead creature. &Quot;
Laura and the rest didn’t doubt Grimm’s words. There were many Black Mages who knew some mysterious black magic. These black magic could use a magical method to refine the undead creatures in their hands. Although it couldn’t increase the level of the undead creatures, it could make the undead creatures more useful.
In fact, The Black Mages on the continent had been trying to find ways to improve the level of their undead creatures. Many Black Mages had learned Pharmaceutics and alchemy, but they had not succeeded. This method of refining undead creatures was an alchemy that improved the level of undead creatures. Many Black Mages on the continent knew the product of failure.
These zombies weren’t as scary as skeletons. Laura couldn’t help but look at them curiously. When she found that those people were just standing there in a daze, she walked to the side of the carriage.
Gerlyn immediately moved a large wooden bucket down and placed it on the ground. He then opened the lid. Laura and kun were both looking into the bucket, and they couldn’t help but nod.
Both of them were experts in this field. They could tell the quality of the fruit Oil with one look. The quality of Zhao Hai’s Fruit Oil was undeniable. It was obviously an oil, but it was so clear that you could see the bottom. There was no impurity, nor was there any strange smell. It was obviously a high-quality oil.
Lola nodded and said to green, ” &Quot; Sir, you can put the lid on the barrel now. Leave the oil to us. I’ll pay you for the gas later. Please come in. &Quot; Gerlyn nodded, closed the bucket, and followed Laura and the others into the house.
