Chapter 56 History and Crisis

Taking the water glass, Gooden drank the water glass.

The cool cold water poured over, and the dry throat was suddenly relieved.

"It's okay, you go and ask old Joseph to come to my place."

"Okay sir."

Seeing that the young master was in good spirits, the maid saluted and retired to inform him.

After a while, old Joseph rushed to the bedroom.

"Master, what's wrong with your health?"

Old Joseph, who was over fifty years old, heard his voice before he saw him.

"There was an accident during the test, it's not in the way."

Gooden had some guesses about his coma in his heart, but they didn't need to tell them about it, just find an excuse to perfunctory it.

To find an excuse, old Joseph could only be half-trusted.

But for the young master to summon them after he woke up, there should be other things besides 'reporting safety'.

"Ayers should have given you an overview of this trip, right? What do you think?"

What Gooden said was worthwhile was the encounter with the orcs last night. Although Old Joseph had already prepared in his heart, he still did not expect it to be so thrilling.

"To be honest, I didn't expect to encounter the orcs here, and it's still in the way of invasion and lurking."

"Master, do you know what this means?"

Seeing the serious look on old Joseph's face, Gooden asked blankly.

"what does that mean?"

"It means that war is coming soon."

"what?"

"what?!"

Old Joseph's words directly stunned Gooden and Els.

It's just encountering invading orc scouts on the border of the empire. Is this the rhythm of starting a war?
"As a clan of orcs who were driven into the barren land by the Allrea Empire, they always wanted to counterattack through the Everfrost Mountains and the Sea of ​​Northern Desert, and enter the northern land of the empire."

"Since the founding of the empire, at least two-thirds of the wars of the past dynasties started in the north. When the empire beat it up, these orcs cuddled up and licked their wounds, but they will return to the border after a while. ."

"The last time a war broke out was more than [-] years ago. If you count the days, it's time for these bastards to jump out and toss."

Joseph Sr. told the history slowly, and at the same time told Gooden the danger signal.

For this period of history, he really didn't know there was this stubble.

After a moment of contemplation, Gooden said slowly.

"I can't control the battle between the two countries, but I found a problem in the chat with Dedalo, the cavalry captain in Jinyuan City last night."

"The orcs sneak into the country, hundreds of people, how do they solve the problem of eating and drinking?"

"Although the Qingyuan Snow Ridge is a large area, there are countless forests and animals and plants, but so many people quietly stick to my side, don't you think this is strange?"

"And I haven't heard of any nearby prey being poached or looted by poaching, or the mass disappearance of residents. It's impossible for orcs to eat bark and eat vegetarian food, right?"

Gooden's words instantly made old Joseph's scalp tingle. He never thought of such a thing so deeply.

"Master, don't you guess someone backs..." Before Old Joseph could finish speaking, Gooden waved his hand to deny it for three consecutive times.

"I didn't say that, don't frame me, I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know."

After being interrupted like this, Old Joseph also fell silent, and the bedroom suddenly became quiet like this.

But after a while, the 'gurgling' sound from Gooden's quilt broke the atmosphere in the room.

"Cough, old Joseph, go and urge the kitchen, I'm starving to death."

"Ok."

Seeing that the young master was in good spirits, old Joseph got up and went to the kitchen to have a look.

After leaving the bedroom, only Gooden was left in the room.

Recalling what happened last night and the words of old Joseph, Gooden couldn't help sighing.

As a border lord himself, it seems that he can't be at peace.

Living in a stable society since childhood, fighting is a rare 'dangerous' event.

war?This kind of thing is too far away for him, but now he has to face it.

After getting up to change his clothes and hurriedly eating some hot food, Gooden plunged into the study.

In the face of such things as war, he is not afraid, and the descendants of Yan and Huang have a history of fighting in their bones.

However, in order to face this crisis, early layout is very necessary.

Otherwise, if you really wait until the war breaks out to prepare, it will be too late for anything.

For this crisis, Gooden already has a six-character mantra in his heart to deal with.

Build high walls and store food!
As for the remaining three words, he didn't need to add them, he was already a 'king' within the territory.

Just like the literal meaning of the three words 'build a high wall', he planned to build a city wall around Qingyuan Town.

A place like Qingyuan Snow Mountain is not a front-line pass and needs to be heavily guarded.

Even if there are orcs who can sneak in, the number will not be too many, he just needs to protect the core area of ​​Qingyuan Town.

If it is built in the local conventional way, I am afraid that it will not be able to make a circle in a few years.

But now the brick kiln is about to complete production, which gives the whole plan a lot of room to play.

Then the three-character mantra is also very clear, and it is never wrong to hoard food.

With food in hand, even if there is a war, the impact on Qingyuan Town will inevitably be much reduced.

And this should happen sooner rather than later. Once the war breaks out, it will inevitably affect the price of food.

At that time, if you want to gather food again, it will be several times more difficult than hoarding it now.

In addition to the arrangement of these six-character mantras, Gooden had to pay attention to one thing.

manpower.

The total population of Qingyuan Town itself is not large, and with various construction and development in the future, the problem of population shortage will become more serious.

In order to deal with the danger, in addition to building the city wall, it is necessary to have a force capable of guarding the town.

Otherwise, when the city wall is built, and relying on his current manpower defense, I am afraid that it will take ten meters to put one in order to barely 'stand full'.

"Ah... It seems that someone needs to help with this kind of thing."

Gooden sighed, took out a piece of letter paper from the table, and wrote the content after thinking for a while.

After a while, the content of the letter was almost completed, and after adding the signature and imprint, Gooden handed it over to the soldiers below and sent it to Jinyuan City overnight.

Now that autumn has just entered, and winter has been less than three months away, the problems of population expansion and urban construction must also be completed within these three months.

In order to get enough population before winter, it is inevitable to ask for the help of Jinyuan City.
