System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 606 - 227: Construction of the Mutated Wild Boar Farm

Chapter 606: Chapter 227: Construction of the Mutated Wild Boar Farm

The price of beer has risen from three pounds for one penny at the tavern to one pound for one penny!

The price of meat has also noticeably increased.

All due to the chain reaction caused by the rise in grain prices!

Indeed.

The continuous snowfall that lasted several days in winter has had a significant impact on the entire Karedi Empire!

After the growth period of the wheat seedlings over the past couple of months.

Most manor lords have realized that the crops they planted have suffered severe damage.

What awaits them will be a significant reduction in the summer harvest.

Even the winter barley and wheat planted last year — yielded nothing!

The grain crisis is getting closer!

Lynn nodded, "Mr. Hunter, I know that continuing to purchase grain now is not very reasonable."

"However, I still need you to acquire more grain for me."

There are many people in need waiting to be fed in his domain.

Not to mention those soldiers we just saw!

Their daily physical training and energy consumption far exceed that of ordinary laboring townsmen.

They need more nutritious food intake.

To ensure their daily training!

To ensure that once they charge into battle, they have the strength and stamina to fight the enemy.

According to the daily consumption of three pounds of grain per person, including grains, meat, vegetables, etc.

Nine thousand people, plus the poultry and livestock, consume at least thirty thousand pounds a day!

That is, with the more than one million pounds of barley initially transported by Boer.

And merchants like Grayson Hunt continuously delivering grain to his domain.

Otherwise, his domain would have already run out of food!

However.

Fortunately, the wheat seedlings in the fields are growing vigorously.

As long as they can hold on with the grain brought by the merchants until the summer harvest in July and August!

Then, the shortage of grain his territory faces will be resolved.

Upon hearing this, Hunter hesitantly asked, "Master Lynn, should we still purchase barley priced as high as two pence a pound?"

"Isn’t this price too expensive?"

Lynn nodded calmly, "Buy it, Mr. Hunter!"

"As long as there is barley or wheat on the market, if you purchase and deliver it."

"There is no limit to the quantity; I will buy it all!"

Listening to Lynn’s determined words, Hunter no longer hesitated and replied, "Yes, Master Lynn."

While Lynn and Hunter were conversing.

The group had already walked out of the forest.

The view suddenly opened up, revealing a vast sunlit plain ahead.

In the distance, by the riverbank, stood a small town.

The sunlight was just right, the temperature pleasant, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and soil.

Lynn cast a glance around, finally settling his gaze on Hunter.

"Mr. Hunter, has your tavern had any information or rumors lately?"

Upon hearing this, Hunter quickly recalled.

A few seconds later.

He began to speak, "Master Lynn, there are indeed some rumors, but I can’t verify their authenticity."

"I just don’t know if this information will be of any use to you..."

Lynn responded, "It’s alright, Mr. Hunter, I can determine that myself."

With Master Lynn’s affirmative reply, Hunter had no more hesitation.

He started to recount, "The leader of the Iron Thorns Mercenary Corps, Lopez, seems to have returned to Kakasong City."

"And there are rumors about matters concerning Frank Manor in Morgan Town."

"Some say it wasn’t the Iron Thorns Mercenary Corps that wanted to invade and occupy Frank Manor."

"But it was Janet Frank hiring him to cleanse the entire Frank Manor."

"It was Janet who killed her uncle and her grandfather!"

"All to remove obstacles, seize power, and become the manor lord of Frank Manor!"

"Just as success was imminent, Janet went back on their agreement."

"She even arranged for the soldiers and guards in Frank Manor to eradicate the Iron Thorns Mercenary Corps."

Lynn slightly nodded, showing no expression.

But he felt.

This rumor was very likely related to what happened at Frank Manor, confirming much of his speculation.

There is a high possibility!

Hunter continued to recall.

"By the way, Master Lynn, there’s something else, not sure if you’ll find it interesting."

"Some longship merchants who crossed the Vortex Sea said that a sea beast appeared in the Vortex Sea!"

"Not just once, pulling longships crossing the Vortex Sea into the sea."

Lynn’s eyebrow raised.

He clearly remembered that when the ice had just melted, Grayson and Audrey, who had come to his territory, had mentioned this.

Grayson had even lost a large number of slaves that could have been transported to his domain because of this.

Lynn spoke to Hunter, "This hadn’t happened before, had it?"

Hunter nodded, "Yes, Master Lynn."

"I grew up at the Fisherman’s Wharf and have been running the hotel for so many years."

"I’ve never heard of sea beasts existing on the outskirts of the Vortex Sea!"

"The sea beast rumors I’ve heard only said that there are countless sea demons and sea beasts in the Dark Abyss Ocean Trench..."

Dark Abyss Ocean Trench!

Lynn heard this name for the first time.

Compared to these.

He was more curious about if there was enough strength and sturdy fishing rods and lines.

Could he fish out the sea beasts in the Vortex Sea!

If possible, what kind of reward would there be?

Lynn’s heart filled with anticipation.

Seeing Lynn didn’t continue to ask, Hunter fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
