Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries.

Chapter 67 Astonishing speculation, how to deal with it

Gooden's self-talk made old Joseph's hair stand up.

But this is not the end, Gooden, who has entered the brainstorm, continues to talk to himself.

"With such a large army entering the country, eating, drinking and lhasa is all a problem. It is easy to track the number of people..."

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

One is the words of the Dedaluo cavalry sub-commander of Jinyuan City, and the other is Gudern's own question and guess.

Gooden, who was bored and studied social work, connected bits and pieces of information during this period of time, and finally gave an amazing answer.

"If this batch of food is provided to the orc scout troops..."

"hiss--"

At this point, Old Joseph was so frightened by the young master's surprising speculation that he took a deep breath.

If the truth is true, then the meaning of this matter is different.

Maybe he has to contact the family under pressure to deal with it, this kind of thing is not something he can handle by himself.

"wrong……"

Suddenly Gooden frowned and found that there was a bug in his analysis.

"If the food supply had been prepared two years ago, it would not be a problem to raise another hundred orcs with the output of Xueguling."

"Even if you support for two years, that's more than enough, and you won't need to transfer grain reserves from outside."

For the problems that appeared in the analysis, Gooden couldn't help but start to recall and think again to see what was missing.

As the memory continued to flicker, Gooden fixed the image in his mind on the day his predecessor was attacked.

"Private soldiers!"

Thinking of this, Gooden's eyes lit up, he took out a piece of white paper from the side, and began to quickly calculate something.

Seeing the young master analyze it so seriously, old Joseph couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

I thought that being sent here would be able to stay away from the struggle for power separation and live a quiet life, but I didn't expect it to be a lot of murder.

If it wasn't for the young master's accidental awakening and recovery, I am afraid that he would have returned to the capital with the young master's body now.

It was also after the awakening that Old Joseph felt that the young master's current mentality and methods might seem quite mediocre among the brothers and sisters in the family.

But it's also enough to get out of here and go to the wider urban development.

How about trying to contact the family this year?
At this moment, old Joseph was already thinking about the future development of Gooden.

And Gooden, who was calculating with a quick pen, finally calculated an approximate value.

But looking at this string of numbers, the eyebrows are wrinkled together again.

"Master, what's the matter?" Old Joseph was still very concerned about Gooden's situation.

"Something's wrong. Calculate the output of Xuegu Ridge based on the output of Qingyuan Town. There is no problem with feeding 2000 people with the grain that is stored."

"But even counting the number of orcs that were wiped out, plus the number of the lord's largest private soldiers, that's only six to seven hundred people."

"What are you doing with so much leftover grain? Are you keeping insects?"

Old Joseph couldn't keep up with the peculiar analytical thinking of the young master, so he could only stand by and listen silently.

"Did he violate the law and raise more private soldiers?"

"That's not right, where did he come from to hide thousands of private soldiers? It's impossible to eat, drink, and live as high as the orcs? ... What the hell?!"

Suddenly Gooden's thoughts were opened. What if the number of orcs raised were not only a hundred, but thousands?
In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for the consumption direction of a large amount of grain storage.

Recalling his first encounter with an orc scout, Gooden always thought it was an accident.

What if it was the second assassination of the Charlison family?
If all the above speculations are correct, then for the Charlson family, this piece of territory should be able to be easily occupied by debts.

Thinking of this, Gudern's back couldn't help but feel a chill.

Originally thought that the orcs in the territory had been annihilated and cleaned up, but now it seems that maybe everything is not so simple.

Old Joseph on the side, connected with what Gooden said before, his train of thought was also opened up in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot.

Raising orc troops, this is already a violation of the laws of the empire, and this is to create a thousand-level troops, is this to launch a rebellion?
After a while, Gooden broke the silence in the study.

"There's no need to worry about it. What I just said was just a guess, and the specific facts have to be verified."

These remarks seemed to be comforted by Gooden talking to himself. Old Joseph exhaled a long breath after hearing it, and nodded slightly in agreement.

"I originally thought that Roy's line would not have much gain, but now it seems that at least there is a direction to dig deeper."

Saying that, Gooden paused and quickly made a brief arrangement in his mind.

"If the food shortage in Xueguling is true, then the surrounding lords and Jinyuan City will definitely have news about this."

"You arrange for someone to ask, and there should be a lot of harvest. Charlson buys so much grain, so there must be a place to store the grain."

"And normal consumption must be impossible to consume such a huge reserve of grain. After confirming the granary, I will send someone to investigate. If the reserve is normal, everything will be fine."

"But if reserves are too low, then we have to prepare for the worst."

"Understood." Old Joseph also understood the seriousness of this matter, and was ready to personally select a group of suitable candidates to investigate.

Gooden slowly tapped the tabletop and continued to ask.

"Also, how's the investigation on Matthews' side?"

"As you guessed, he went into hiding. I asked Kroger, but he didn't mean to tell me."

"I feel that he knows the whereabouts of Matthews, and is not a person on Charlson's side. He will not evade me when I ask some things. It should be because of his status as a tax collector. We are wary."

At this point, Gooden had already anticipated and said.

"If you hide and don't dare to come forward, it only means that he has a ghost in his heart, so it is very necessary to continue the investigation."

"In addition, when searching for his whereabouts, find his relatives and friends and tell them that if they can provide Matthews' whereabouts, they can come to me to receive five gold coins after verification and find the gold."

For this kind of hiding person, Gooden has no good way to find him. Now he can only activate the banknote ability and smash it with money.

When Matthews heard the news, he would definitely panic, and he would definitely be wary of his relatives and friends around him.

As long as this goal is achieved, it will only be a matter of time before finding him.

And Gooden doesn't plan to use only five gold coins to solve this matter. As time goes by, he will continue to add more gold coins.

He doesn't believe it anymore, there are still people in this world who don't love money?

"Also, don't stop contacting Kroger. If you can get news from him, this trouble may end sooner."

"Yes, sir."

　Here I wish everyone a Happy New Year's Day in advance, and I wish everyone a successful career, a bumper love harvest in 2022, and a better prospect in the new year!
