Chapter 338 (1/2)
Victor is a very rational man.
While everyone was crazy for the benefit of the underground world, he clearly noticed what might happen next.
At present, the agricultural productivity of prandal countries is generally not strong, and the total grain reserves are actually very small. A large number of people will freeze and starve every winter.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones. That's what we're talking about.
If the current situation continues to develop, a large number of food will flow into the underground world through trade. Although they are all expensive minerals, gold, magical plants and so on, the key problem is that these things can't be eaten.
After the arrival of this winter, I'm afraid there will be another wave of death peak.
Although these people died because greedy businessmen sold food to the underground world, the people didn't care about that. They only knew that under Victor's rule, they couldn't even eat enough.
The people are very stupid. They are easy to be fooled. Once the aristocracy seize this opportunity to incite them, they will stand on the side of the aristocracy.
This is very disadvantageous to Victor's struggle with the aristocracy.
So
”So that's why you're here?”
Donne stared at the cans on the production line and asked casually, ”Your Majesty Victor thinks I can solve this problem?”
Aurelia, with a very elegant and decent smile on her face, looked into the workshop as if nothing had happened and said, ”yes, he said, if anyone else in the world can solve this problem, I'm afraid it's only count Donne.”
Aurelia doesn't quite understand why her father trusts Donne so much - this blind trust is almost unconditional. As an emperor, this is a big taboo!
If it wasn't important for her to come in person, she didn't even want to see Donne now, because as soon as she saw Donne, she felt hot on her body, as if she had been whipped by him with a whip.
Especially the last time he did that to her!
”He really believes in my ability...”
Dumne not to say yes or no, picked up a tin box and knocked it. After confirming the sealing, he put it back satisfactorily and then turned to Leah. ”Princess, before you get here, I'm afraid I don't know that I'm facing a food crisis, too.”
Aurelia was stunned and shook her head.
”Well, it's normal that you don't know. I'm afraid only I know...”
Donne gave a dry smile, then waved his hand and said, ”I'm also busy purchasing food now. I'm also worried that the price rise is caused by my purchase. Unexpectedly, it's their behavior. I'm afraid the life of civilians will not be too easy this winter.”
Aurelia raised her eyebrows and said, ”so? What can you do?”
She has been disappointed. Listening to what Donne just said, it is obvious that he is also anxious to buy food. Obviously, he also wants to take a share in the underground world, and he must have nothing to do.
”How...”
Donne said with a smile, ”there are ways, but people don't necessarily like it.”
He has a way!?
Aurelia looked suspicious, took out a book and looked at Donne seriously: ”please.”
”Well, I can't say clearly for a while, but...”
Donne pointed to the cans on the production line and said with a smile, ”that's the solution.”
”These iron boxes?”
Aurelia's face was full of ”you're teasing me”.
”To be exact, it's a tin.”
”What's the use of this thing?”
The dark faced Aurelia picked up a box and looked at it. It was a clean tin box. There was no special place.
”This is the container. This is the finished product.”
Donne took out a canned fruit and handed it to Aurelia: ”look at it first, and then open it.”
Aurelia took the can and was a little surprised: ”it's very heavy... Is it yellow peach painted on it?”
With Donne's help, Aurelia opened the can and smelled the sweet smell from it. Aurelia's eyes lit up and tasted a small mouthful of juice: ”Oh, it's so sweet!”
After tasting the sweet juice, she tasted a piece of yellow peach. The fresh and tender yellow peach satisfied her: ”delicious ~”
”Isn't it good?”
”Of course, it's not easy to eat fresh yellow peaches in arlinks. They are usually preserved and dried.”
Aurelia couldn't stop after eating one piece. She finished the whole can in a short time and licked her lips.
Donne's eyes stayed on her tender little tongue for a moment and said as if nothing had happened: ”there are still a lot to eat. You can take some back when you go back.”
