Hedley had also studied this, so he knew that people would only think about other things when they were full.
How can a hungry person think about the country or race? These are not things that a hungry person should worry about.
Although Hedley wanted to use the methods in the book to save Kazdel, it was useless without food.
The price of food in Kazdel is now more expensive than medicine. You can imagine how serious the food shortage is.
Hedley was also thinking, could he buy food from the doctor? During his stay in Chernobog, he witnessed the price of food here go from the original sky-high price to the current low price.
It can be said that the current food price in Chernobog is much lower than the lowest price Hedley has ever seen.
If there were no official ban on hoarding grain, there would definitely be many merchants who would buy grain here at low prices and sell it to other places at high prices.
Unfortunately, the government has its own merchants who are specifically responsible for the sale of grain, and ordinary merchants have no chance to get involved.
Hedley didn't know why Chernobog suddenly had no shortage of food, but as a mercenary, his intuition told him that the food must be related to the doctor, because the food had not been in short supply since the doctor took over Chernobog.
Hedley guessed that it was probably the doctor who developed the high-yield food, although the doctor was unkind and seemed very cold when he was giving orders.
But no one in the Tower of Babel would doubt the doctor's wisdom. The doctor's research on oripathy is the best in Terra.
Although I don't know when the doctor has done so much research on food? But Hedley saw with his own eyes that Chernobog has no shortage of food, so Hedley will not doubt it.
Hedley also went to buy food for Chernobog, and sweet potato was Hedley's favorite, because it could be eaten raw or cooked, and it also had a sweet taste, which even Hedley and others did not have the opportunity to eat often.
Potatoes are not very delicious when eaten raw, and their taste is much worse than sweet potatoes when roasted, but they can be made into various side dishes, among which potato chips and French fries are the most popular among adults and children.
In addition, it is fried and contains high calories. Eating a little can replenish the energy needed by the human body.
However, because a lot of oil is needed to make this kind of side dish, the price is also very expensive.
The most popular of all foods is mushrooms, because they are not only cheap but also filling.
The price of mushrooms was so low that Hedley could not even imagine it. This kind of food grew fast and could be cultivated all year round. It could grow even in extremely cold or extremely hot places. It was the best food for mercenaries like Hedley.
However, mushrooms also have a disadvantage, which is that they have no nutritional value.
But this is not a problem for Hedley at all. The effect of mushrooms is very strong. At least it is much better than tree bark and grass roots.
Ordinary people in Kazdel are now eating tree bark and other things in the wild, and mushrooms have become life-saving food for them.
However, although Hedley's idea was good, there was a very realistic problem before him, that is, he had no money.
Although he had saved some money during his years as a mercenary, he still had difficulty buying food.
Although the price of food in Chernobyl is already very cheap, if he wants the people of Kazdel to no longer suffer from hunger, then the money he has is not enough.
Not to mention the money he had, even Regent Tracys couldn't come up with so much money to buy food. There were too many people in Kazdel who were not getting enough food.
But Hedley was unwilling to give up. He had finally found low-priced food. And judging from the fact that Chernobog's food was sold to other parts of Ursus, Chernobog's food production must be very high.
Because there are already two plots for growing crops, and the third one is under construction.
As long as the high-yield crops are harvested, Chernobyl can even feed several mobile cities with these crops. As the number of cultivated plots increases, more people can be fed.
Judging from the fact that Chernobyl is already selling potatoes as a side dish, there is no shortage of staple foods here, otherwise they wouldn't be making side dishes.
Side dishes are only made when there is no shortage of food. If there is a shortage of food, no one will make side dishes.
Ines was speechless when she saw Hedley staring blankly at the book. She knew that Hedley wanted to save Kazdel through the methods in the book, but he couldn't do it alone.
Although Hedley was well-known among the mercenaries, how could he possibly integrate Kazdel? Moreover, Hedley did not have the powerful weapons that the People's Liberation Army had.
After knowing that he couldn't do it, Hedley turned his attention to the food sold in Chernobog, hoping to buy food from here and bring it back to Kazdel, so that the people in Kazdel would no longer suffer from hunger.
But how much money could a mercenary have? Even with her money, it was impossible to buy enough food to feed everyone in Kazdel.
Even though the food here in Chernobyl is very cheap, it is so cheap that she wants to buy some and stockpile it.
The price of food in Kazdel is extremely expensive. When Ines saw the price of food here for the first time, she wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes. Wasn't this price really for charity?
When Hedley was thinking about how to make more money, the sound of footsteps outside made the two men quickly alert. Hedley put the books away, picked up the big sword beside him, and looked outside vigilantly.
Inès also came behind the door and used her Originium skills to observe the people outside.
When they saw the man outside had two red hairs on his white hair, Inès and Hedley felt relieved.
At this time, the door was pushed open and W walked in. He looked at the two people and said, "You two made it so hard for me to find you. Why are you here?"
W looked at the Communist Manifesto that Hedley had placed on the table, with a strange look on his face: "I didn't expect that Hedley would actually read this kind of book? Why? Do you think that Tracys's method can't save the Sarkaz, so you plan to try another method?"
Hedley sighed: "Regent King Tresis's method really can't save the Sarkaz, but the method in the book is the same. There is not enough soil for revolution in Kazdel now. They even have problems with eating, let alone receiving education.
Moreover, the Sarkaz do not have the weapons that the PLA has, so it is impossible for them to replicate the PLA’s methods.”
W shrugged. "This is normal. The illiteracy rate among the Sarkaz is much more serious than that of the Ursus. But this is not something I need to worry about. I came to you for a mission this time. Are you interested in making a deal with the Doctor?"
Chapter 101 W's Inquiry
Hedley asked: "What deal?"
Hedley was still very surprised at W's arrival. After all, there had been no news of W since he was captured. Hedley originally suspected that W was dead?
Unexpectedly, she was fine, and her complexion looked rosy, with no injuries on her body, and she didn't look like she was abused by the doctor.
Hedley was not worried that W came here to capture them to win credit. After all, if he wanted to capture them, he would have come here a long time ago and would not choose to come here at this time.
As for the deal that W mentioned, didn't Hedley think that they had something that the doctor would be interested in, including their own strength?
A few PLA soldiers with weapons could beat them without any chance of fighting back. Having seen the power of weapons, Hedley knew that the role of people in war was minimal.
With weapons like that, any casually trained soldier could take out a battle-hardened mercenary.
Unless the power gap between the two sides is extremely large, it is impossible for soldiers with weapons to defeat soldiers with guns.
W thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it? Chernobyl is undergoing industrialization. Did you see that?"
Hedley nodded. Compared with Chernobog a few years ago, the current Chernobog has undergone tremendous changes. The original slums have basically disappeared.
Various evil forces and patrol teams were also purged, and there were more high-rise buildings, residential houses and commercial streets everywhere.
The third block for growing crops has even begun construction. It can be said that the mobile city of Chernobyl is now no worse than a large mobile city.
Moreover, with the implementation of new policies and the improvement of various laws, even infected people can appear on the streets openly.
The current Chernobog is even more attractive to Hedley than Kazdel. He has seen many Sarkaz wandering here, who could only survive by hiding in sewers and slums.
But now they can also walk on the streets with a swagger, without worrying about anyone calling them demons, and without worrying about being attacked for no reason.
It is also easy for them to find a job, and as long as they don't get into trouble, they can live a good life.
Some people also gave up the idea of continuing to be mercenaries and joined the People's Liberation Army. After all, for them, the battlefield is their home.
And compared to the notorious mercenaries, they are very popular after becoming part of the People's Liberation Army.
Sarkaz are also human beings. They have their own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. Of course, it is better to be praised than to be scolded.
Especially after joining the Liberation Army, every Sarkaz is forced to study. Having mastered the knowledge, they know more clearly what they want. Compared with returning to Kazdel to be mercenaries, they think it is better to be a Liberation Army member in Chernobog because they feel respected here.
Sometimes Hedley would wonder if he could join the Liberation Army? Who would want to be a mercenary who lives on the edge of a knife when they can live a stable life?
However, Kazdel's situation made him give up this idea. It was because he had learned and experienced Kazdel's war that Hedley wanted to make Kazdel better. It would be best if he could become like Chernobog.
But Hedley was just thinking about it. Now he had no money, no weapons, and no specific ideas. It was too difficult to do these things.
And Hedley knew very well that the doctor had spent a lot of effort to transform Chernobog into this state.
First of all, food is the top priority. Without food, everything is just a fantasy.
Then comes education. After all, food can still be purchased as long as you have money.
But education is not such a simple matter, because education needs to be implemented over a long period of time, and it also requires a lot of intellectuals to serve as teachers to teach those who have not studied. It is impossible for one person to popularize education.
Hedley stayed here after the Doctor ruled Chernobog, so he naturally knew how difficult education was.
Some people with backward ideas would make all kinds of excuses when asking their children to go to school, because children are the labor force in the family and some people don't want their children to study at all.
If it was a lack of food and clothing, Hedley could understand it. After all, people would only consider these issues after they had solved the problem of food and clothing.
But during that period, due to the high yield of grain, people basically didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the factories were also recruiting workers, so they had no burden in sending their children to school.
What's more, there is no tuition fee in doctoral schools, so there is no need to worry about the high tuition fees.
Hedley had also seen that most people wanted their children to study. After all, the previous Chernobyl knowledge was monopolized. For the lower class or infected people, let alone studying, they were already lucky if they were not caught to mine.
Some workers and infected people knew clearly how valuable knowledge was, so when they learned that the new rulers had opened free schools, they sent their children to study as soon as possible.
Because they know that only by learning knowledge can they avoid being a worker all their lives like themselves. If they study well, they can become teachers or even officials.
For the children of infected people and workers, this kind of job is something they may not encounter in their lifetime, so they will sell everything they have to let their children learn it.
At the same time, these workers and infected people will also attend night schools in the factory after work. Some people with better talents have learned advanced knowledge through the factory's night schools and eventually entered the management level, so they are very clear about how important this opportunity to learn knowledge is.
Of course, some people think that studying is the most important thing, but some people also think, what is the point of studying? Will it help the family?
There are really few people like this, but there are at least more than one million people in Chernobyl. Isn't it normal to have a few weirdos among so many people?
Hedley didn't know how to comment on these people? Although he had met many strange people during his years as a mercenary, when he saw these people, Hedley still felt that it was not worth it for their children.
If the People's Liberation Army had not forced their children to study, these people might have ruined their children's lives.
Although Hedley didn't know the phrase "diversity of human species", it was not surprising that his mood was described by this phrase.
W didn't know that Hedley had thought so much in such a short time. Seeing Hedley's silence, he thought he was thinking.
So W continued: "Chernobog has a huge demand for ore now. The ore generated by the mobile city and the mines in the snowfield is not enough, so the doctor set his sights on Kazdel.
After all, the war in Kazdel had just ended, and there were refugees everywhere, and many Sarkaz were starving.
There are also many redundant mines in Kazdel that have been abandoned, so the doctor wants me to be a middleman, to mine ore in Kazdel and transport it here to sell, and he can buy it with food, medicine or industrial products. "
Chapter 102 Hedley Joins
Hedley was still very moved by what W said. He was worried about not having money, but he didn't expect W to bring him good news.
During the time in Chernobog, Hedley knew that the amount of ore and iron needed for industrialization was astronomical, and it was certainly not enough to rely on a mobile city in Chernobog and the mines in the snowfield.
After all, the population in the snowfield is too small. Even if we go mining, how many people can there be?
Moreover, the young and middle-aged people in the snowfields either fled to the city or were persecuted by the patrol teams. The rest are basically elderly people, who are not suitable for mining.
And Hedley knew very well that the Doctor was definitely not someone who would be satisfied with just a mobile city.
Next, Chernobog will officially go to war with Ursus, so the Doctor will definitely build a new mobile city.
Hedley also wanted to see if he could get some technology about mobile cities, even mobile blocks would be fine.
Kazdel now doesn't even have the technology to move blocks, let alone move cities.
Although Queen Theresa had purchased the technology of mobile cities from other countries and had built them, they were eventually destroyed due to the war. Now Kazdel is made up of clustered villages, and the mobile city is just a dream for the Sarkaz of Kazdel.
Hedley thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do? I remember you don't have a mine, right?"
W shrugged: "No, it doesn't matter. I have people here, and I happen to have a group of mercenaries under my command. I can just go to Kazdel and rob a few mines.
Anyway, Kazdel is now in ruins and many mines are unoccupied. Isn't this our chance?
Or do you think that the mines in Kazdel should be taken away by the nobles so that they can exploit ordinary people at will?"
Hedley shook his head. Just as W said, it would be better for them to rob the mine instead of letting those fat-bellied nobles take it away.
After all, if the mine they robbed can be used to mine ore, then they can use the ore to exchange for food with the doctor. With the food, he can use the food to hire the Sarkaz who have become refugees because of the war, thus saving many lives.
If the mine was occupied by nobles, they would not be so kind as to hire the Sarkaz people, but would directly capture the Sarkaz people and force them to mine.
Hedley was very clear about the nature of the nobles. He knew that if these people wanted to mine ore, they would not be paid wages or anything, but would directly arrest people and order them to mine.
Although Regent Tracys won the civil war, he took the main force of the royal court to Victoria for his own plan. Now Kazdel is managed by the nobles.
Hedley had no good feelings towards the aristocracy. After all, as a mercenary, he knew clearly how dirty the aristocrats were in private. If he killed ten of these people, there might be innocent ones, but if he killed nine out of ten, there would definitely be some that slipped through the net.
As for the Lords of the Royal Court, these people were old monsters who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years or longer. It could be said that they were living history. Hedley kept his distance from these people.
