What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 165

"Is Lady Madeleine all right?"

Obviously, after the death of Duke Oliver, Edward II didn't know much about the fortress, and Madeleine was probably the only one who knew him.

"Ms. Madeleine wanted to come together, but unfortunately, since the Duke passed away, her health has deteriorated day by day, and the lord did not dare to work her."

Jennifer sighed secretly when she thought of Madeleine who was about to be bedridden now.

Edward seemed to know something about the relationship between Duke Oliver and Madeleine, and he nodded and sighed after listening.

The two sides continued to exchange a few polite words.

Because Edward lived in Thunder City for a while, and talked about some knowledge of the Tulun Kingdom, he entered the topic.

"This time, I mainly hope to continue to purchase ore from your country."

Jennifer directly stated her intentions.

Akihara City needs a lot of materials and ores. After having the "Kobold Miners", Winter City will no longer lack raw materials in a short time. However, the distance between the two places is too far and transportation is inconvenient.

In comparison, the location of Qiuyuan City is closer to Dadamir, and even because the two countries border each other, it only takes one day to transport ore directly from the nearest mine to Qiuyuan City.

"Miss Jennifer, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that Dadamir is in some difficulty now..." Anisa said this disgraceful thing for her father.

"Don't worry, we will buy it at the normal price. His Majesty has been selling us ore at a price close to the cost before. The lord often said that we should be grateful."

"Dadamir and Xia Ya have always had a close relationship, so it's nothing to be busy, not to mention that once the orcs are rampant, it will be of no benefit to anyone."

"It's a pity that not everyone thinks so." Jennifer thought of the early days of the construction of Twilight City, the surrounding countries and territories, and even Tulum's own territory, all took the opportunity to increase prices, and she completely expected that you had to buy it. , and did not consider the issue of orcs at all.

"However, it is no longer a matter of price." Anisa sighed: "I believe Miss Jennifer should know that Dadamir suffered a natural disaster, and the grain harvest was severely damaged. We...now we don't even have people to mine mines... "

"Is it so serious?" Of course Jennifer is aware of this matter. On the one hand, the purchase of ore is indeed urgently needed for the construction of the city, and on the other hand, it is Ke Lin's confession to take care of the other party's business. into a vicious cycle.

"Didn't you consider buying some emergency food from the surrounding area?"

"Our relations with neighboring countries have always been normal." Anisa said euphemistically, but she smiled bitterly in her heart. No matter what is normal, they have already met in battle.

Behind the two sides, one is Tulun, and the other is the Youlan Alliance. However, only in terms of economics, the help Dadamir received is simply incomparable to other countries.

"What's more, food has always been the most difficult to buy. Even if countries have a little food in stock, they have to think long-term and dare not sell it lightly." Anisa sighed.

"Since this is the case, Xia Ya still has some food in reserve. If you don't mind too little, maybe you can sell some. Don't worry about the price. We know how to reciprocate." Jennifer laughed.

"Xia Ya?" Anisa had just mentioned this to her father, but could Winter Fortress have any extra food?

"In fact, we are building a new city in the north, named Qiuyuan City, not far from Dadamir, as neighbors, we may cause more trouble in the future." Jennifer said.

"Is it Earl Frank's territory?" Edward keenly captured some information.

"Earl Frank sent people to assassinate the lord, burn food and grass, in an attempt to destroy the defense of the fortress, and lure the orcs into the customs to harm the entire southern and western continents. Fortunately, the lord made a decisive decision and sent troops to suppress the rebellion. The territory was taken back... this was half a year ago..."

Jennifer found herself blushing and heart beating when she said these words now.

Edward and Anisa were surprised at the same time.

Although they are not far away, during this period of time they were overwhelmed by the dispute over the Emerald Lake and the food problem, and they didn't care about what happened to Xia Ya next to them.

Thinking of the administrative order being implemented by King Alan IV, Edward was not surprised by Colin Wayne's actions, but what was really surprising was how the fortress, which was dragged down by the orcs, allocated troops to take back the territory?You must know that there is Duke Valander behind Frank.

However, he quickly put this matter aside temporarily, after all, the food problem is the most important thing at present.

"Miss Jennifer, to tell you the truth, our food shortage is still very large..."

"I don't know how much Your Majesty needs?"

"This..." Edward looked at Anisa.

Anisa, who has now fully taken over the grain management, hesitated for a moment and said, "It will take at least three months until the next season of rye is ripe. If possible, we hope to be able to purchase..."

As she spoke, Anisa stretched out her five fingers with a look of shame on her face. She obviously felt that her request was too much, so she immediately added, "Both wheat bran and bean curd are fine."

Jennifer thought for a moment, felt that this was basically in line with her expectations, nodded and said: "There should be no problem."

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Edward hesitated: "Is there nothing wrong with Winter Fortress?"

Jennifer smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. After the lord came to the fortress, he has worked hard for more than two years, and the food has finally improved a little. What's more, before coming this time, the lord also confessed that you and Duke Violet are good friends. Ya no matter how difficult it is, I will give you a helping hand."

"Please be sure to bring my thanks back to your lord." Edward said sincerely.

"I will." Jennifer said with a smile: "Then, 5 bags of rye and gray kidney beans will be delivered to the border within two months. Your Majesty, please prepare for the handover."

"Okay..." Edward froze after saying a word, and looked at his daughter beside him with some doubts.

Anisa also opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She originally meant five thousand bags.

Although these numbers are not enough for everyone to survive this period of time, they can at least keep the mine from stopping production.

The most important thing is that she thinks that Xia Ya doesn't have much food in store, so it doesn't make sense to say more.

However, the other party even opened his mouth with 5 bags.

Is the lord who just came here not long ago planning to withdraw from the fortress after this year?
"Miss Jennifer, I mean... 5 thousand bags..."

"Five thousand bags?!"

Jennifer was even more surprised than the other party: "How is that enough?"

Edward may not even know the population of Dadamir. After all, there are very few lords in this world who can count the population. On the one hand, it is difficult to operate. Those who report to him will only ask him for help if there is a serious problem such as famine.

However, Jennifer made a little calculation and knew that 5 bags of grain were only enough for tens of thousands of people to barely starve to death within three months.
