Grandia couldn't solve it herself, but there were more elven druids in the Emerald Corolla!
Therefore, Tang En came up with the idea of coming to the Emerald Corolla to find Izari and convince her to ask the druid priests in the temple for help. In the short term, they could only complete this task with their help.
"Is this why you're here?"
Izari smiled at the awkward Tang En. She was just sitting there casually with her amazing breasts, but Tang En felt a suffocating pressure. He couldn't help it. He almost died from a chest murder last time, and that memory was still fresh in his mind.
"That's right. With just Grandia alone, even if we tire her to death, we won't be able to gather 71,000 tons of food in a short time."
Tang En raised his teacup to block his view. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think calmly if he continued to look.
Izari tilted her head and looked at Tang En with interest. "Why don't you go to other human cities or even other countries to buy food?"
"In fact, we've already considered the possibility of going to other cities to buy food. In the end, we came to the conclusion that it would take at least half a year to buy 71,000 tons of food, and we would have to import it."
Tang En's expression was a little helpless. Now, they could only rely on the divine power of the elven druids in the Temple of the Earth Goddess to gather such a large amount of food in a short time.
Only after a thorough investigation would they understand how backward Prandal's agriculture was. If they applied the power of magic to agriculture, they would only need a small part of it to improve agricultural productivity, and the population and even the speed of social development would greatly increase. Unfortunately, they put magic aside.
The result of the backward agricultural productivity was a serious lack of food reserves.
Even the royal family of Irus didn't have much food reserves. Victor couldn't help Tang En with his difficulties.
Borrowing money wasn't a problem, but borrowing food was out of the question.
Tang En did some calculations. On average, the cities and towns that had been investigated only had about three months of grain reserves. Overall, Ellington, which had been governed by him, still had the most grain per capita. In his opinion, this was simply a ridiculous joke.
But Fiona and the others felt that it was natural — Tang En increased production, reduced taxes, and gave out a lot of bonuses. Then, he continued to buy food from the outside to replenish the stock. That was why there was such a result. It would be abnormal if the average amount of food per person was not high.
"So in the end … Ah, Sister Aiguín, you're here. Please take a seat."
Hearing Izari's words, Tang En, who was originally slouched, suddenly sat up straight. He looked a hundred times more energetic, and even an elegant smile appeared on his face.
"I'm just kidding. Aiguin went to the forest to patrol today. She hasn't come back yet."
Isalie smiled mischievously.
The smile on Tang En's face froze.
When did the Elf Queen learn to deceive people?
"By the way, from your performance, you seem to really care about Aiguín."
Izari gently stroked her staff and looked at Tang En thoughtfully. "You only met her once before. Why do you like her so much? It's hard for me to understand. "
"Is it hard to understand love at first sight?"
Izari shook her head. "Of course, that kind of thing only exists in the stories of bards. How can it happen in reality? The so-called love at first sight can only be instantly conquered by the other party's appearance. But I remember that there are a few girls around you. They should be very beautiful among humans. They shouldn't be so easily conquered by Sister Aiguín's appearance."
Tang En was silent for a moment. The corner of his mouth raised slightly and said, "This may be a yearning for beautiful things. People in the dark often yearn for the light the most."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that the more you lack, the more you yearn for it."
Tang En's eyes were full of self-mockery. "Maybe it's because my heart is too dirty that I would be attracted by Aiguín's pure beauty. Can you imagine, a man who lives in a world full of betrayal and deceit suddenly sees a woman as pure as crystal with an impeccable appearance? How much would his heart be touched?"
Izari thought for a moment and shook her head. She couldn't imagine that situation.
"I can tell you."
Tang En clutched his chest, his face brimming with a warm smile. "It's like the depths of a cold ice cave that suddenly melted, or like being suddenly struck by lightning. My entire body is filled with a sense of happiness that makes one tremble."
Looking at the puzzled Izari, Tang En continued, "— Get her! From the moment I saw her, my heart kept telling me that I must get her. It's her! If I can only marry one person, that person must be her! "
"Sister Aiguín is an Elf."
"I know … …"
Tang En couldn't explain to this straightforward Elf Queen what a slip of the tongue was.
"In addition, I remember that there is no monogamy rule among humans."
Izari subconsciously shook her ears and looked at Tang En strangely. "So this is the reason why you didn't want to be my husband last time?"
Tang En opened his mouth, but after thinking for a moment, he found that he was speechless.
"This question is very complicated. You can think of it as me being concerned about Aiguín's feelings."
Tang En sighed. After all, Aiguín was an Elf who was loyal to monogamy. On one hand, he said that he loved her, but on the other hand, he wanted to start a harem. Then wouldn't he be a * * * * and still want to build a monument to his chastity? Even he felt a little shameless.
His love, what kind of love was it!
Rather than saying that it was love, it was better to say that it was a man with a dirty heart who had a natural desire to possess perfect things.
Just admit that he was a dirty and two-faced man. Why did he have to disguise himself as a kind person?
"You are really a good person. The Goddess has her reasons for choosing you as God's Messenger."
Tang En smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sometimes, after acting for a long time, he was so immersed in the role that he probably even forgot what he was originally like.
God's Messenger? Probably the Goddess who wanted to kill him the most now was Isclair, right?
After all, her consciousness had been (beeped) when they had just met … …
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will talk to you when I have time. I don't have time now."
Tang En saw that Izari seemed to have a desire to gossip and hurriedly changed the topic. "The most important thing now is food! It is to solve the food problem! "
"In other words, you are here to ask me for help?"
Izari's white fingers gently slid across Tang En's cheek and then brushed past his ear, revealing a charming smile. "In this case, don't you think that if you make me angry, the consequences will be very bad?"
Tang En's whole body quivered, and a current rushed from his tailbone to his brain. Damn it, why is this Izari getting better and better at teasing people?
Is she still the Elf Queen?
"I don't want to make you angry … … But you have to give me an answer."
Tang En swallowed hard. Speaking of which, from the beginning of the meeting, she had let the other elders leave here. Could it be that she … … wants to sleep with me again?
"Food … … 71,000 tons. Is that what the new unit you set?"
After seeing Tang En nod, Izari continued. "This is a lot of food. Even the Emerald Corolla can't gather so much food, especially since most of our food is fresh fruits and vegetables. Even if you gather them, you can't preserve them."
Tang En thought for a moment and said, "Leave the preservation problem to me. Whether it is food or fruits, as long as you gather 71,000 tons for me!"
"You have a way to preserve fruits and vegetables without spoiling?"
Izari was very surprised. "Other than using the power of divine spells and spells, there doesn't seem to be any good methods, right? The consumption of these methods is far greater than the benefits of preserving fruits and vegetables, so no one is willing to use them. "
"It's not the power of divine spells and spells."
Tang En smiled. "Don't underestimate the wisdom of mortals … … Without extraordinary power, mortals still have various ways to solve problems."
The reason why the lower civilizations of Prandal were so backward was that the top civilizations had mastered the power to solve problems and gave the people at the bottom a hope and direction. They no longer thought about solving problems with their own power. Instead, they would choose to cultivate combat skills and magic.
However, they all forgot that although there were many people in this world who had mastered great power, there was an even larger base of people who were likely to be powerless and unable to awaken their talents in their lives.
In the face of the invasion of the army of Chaos, these ordinary people were a burden.
And the gods had summoned Twain to this world so that Twain could increase the strength of these ordinary people as much as possible. Even if it was an ordinary person who would have died in one strike, it could still bring about an immeasurable change to the entire battle situation if they were raised to two strikes before dying.
As for how to improve the combat power of ordinary people … … Haha, the humans of Prandal were actually very clear about it, and that was to use various equipment.
It was just that in this aspect, the people of Earth were clearer and more ruthless.
Just like now, when it came to preserving fruits and vegetables, Izari would directly think of using the power of divine spells and spells. If the ordinary people of Prandal were to answer, they would only think of this answer.
But what if Tang En were to say it?
There were too many methods.
Whether it was extracting nitrogen and sealing it in a vacuum, making it into candied fruits, making it into juice, or even processing it into canned food and so on …
These could extend the lifespan of fruits and vegetables as much as possible.
Especially after being made into canned food, it would not be a problem to seal and store it for three to five years.
