Stern looked at Laura with a straight face and said, ” “Ms. Laura, are you joking?”

Lola smiled. &Quot; how could I joke about this, elder? I did find a source of food, but it’s different from what we’ve eaten before. &Quot;

After saying that, she clapped her hands, and Thales immediately brought in two bags. Laura opened the bags and said to Stein, &Quot; this is the food I found. This is how to make food. It’s very simple. &Quot; As he spoke, he passed the method that Zhao Hai had written down to stern.

Sturn took the paper from Laura’s hands in a daze, but his eyes never left the bag of cornmeal and cornmeal. Sturn had seen a lot of food, but this was the first time he had seen such food.

Stern only came back to his senses after a while. He carefully looked at the paper in his hand. There weren’t many words on it, and it was very simple. Stern finished reading it in a short while.

After reading it, stern put down the paper and looked at Laura. &Quot; “Ms. Laura, how much of this food do you have? What’s the price?”

Lola smiled and said, ” this grain belongs to a friend of mine. He said that he just doesn’t want to see the civilians of the Versailles Duchy suffer, so he took it out. There are more than two million catties in total. The price is the same as ordinary bamboo rice. &Quot;

Stern’s breathing was a little hurried. The key was that he was too excited. He immediately said, ” “Miss Laura’s friend, can I meet him?”

Laura looked at stern and knew what he was thinking. However, she shook her head and said, ” “I’m sorry, elder. My friend doesn’t like to interact with people, but please don’t worry. I can guarantee that he does have food in his hands.”

Stern also knew that he had been a little rude, so he immediately said, ” “Fine, thank you for your help, Miss Laura. May I know what you need?”

Lola nodded and said, ” elder stern understands as well. Once the situation at ika plain is made known to the public, the entire Versailles Duchy will fall into a state of panic. Under such circumstances, there’s really nothing that we merchants can do. Hence, we can only ask the Versailles family to step in. &Quot;

Stern nodded. &Quot; that’s not a problem. Don’t worry, Miss Laura. But to be honest, Miss Laura, these two million kilograms of food are not enough. &Quot;

Laura smiled: ” don’t worry elder, my friend said that after these 2 million catties of food are sold out, he can provide us with 350000 catties of food every day. I wonder if this is enough? ”

Sternha laughed heartily. &Quot; that’s enough. That’s more than enough. Miss Laura, please help me thank that friend of yours. &Quot;

Lola smiled and said, ” elder, don’t worry. I know what to do. It’s settled then. I’ll go and get the food three days later. However, I’ll have to ask you to help me with the guarding work. &Quot;

Stern also understood what Laura meant. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said, ” “Please rest assured, Miss Laura. In the Versailles Duchy, no one can do anything to the Versailles family.”

Lola nodded and stood up, ” “Then Laura will take her leave. Please rest assured, elder. Although my friend has some friction with the Versailles family, he will not joke about this matter. I can guarantee it with my life.” After he finished speaking, he bowed to stern and turned to leave.

Stern was taken aback by Laura’s words. He did not quite understand what she meant. From what she said, it seemed like his friend had a grudge against the Versailles family. However, she seemed to have a very good relationship with her.

At this thought, Stern’s expression changed. He thought of someone, someone who had caused the Versailles family to suffer a loss some time ago, and this person was still living outside Casa City.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. Only that person had a grudge against the Versailles family. Similarly, only that person had a good relationship with Laura. Laura had a lot of contact with that person some time ago and even got a high-quality delaan from him. He knew that person had saved Laura’s life before. Therefore, it was normal for them to have some contact. Therefore, he didn’t care about it.

Now, it seemed that Laura’s food was most likely given to her by that person. At the thought of this, liestone could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up and said loudly, &Quot; quick, send someone to investigate who Laura has been in contact with recently. &Quot;

Not long after, someone came to report to stern that the only people worth paying attention to that Laura came into contact with recently were Zhao Hai’s Warriors. When stern heard this, he understood that Laura’s food must have come from Zhao Hai.

After confirming this, Stern’s expression could not help but turn even uglier. He understood what Laura’s previous words meant. She knew that he would definitely be able to find out where her food came from, which was why she said those words to him. However, did her words really make stern feel at ease?

The answer was no!

At this point, how could stern completely trust an enemy? he immediately reported this matter to the Versailles family’s Elder Council. This matter was already beyond his jurisdiction.

Lola had already expected that the Versailles family would send people to investigate the source of the food, but she was not worried. This was the only way the Versailles family could do it now. If they did not cooperate with her, they could only watch as the merchants cut off their flesh. This was something the Versailles family could not bear.

The nobles had their own pride. Although the Versailles family couldn’t use force to deal with the joint operation of the large trading companies, they wouldn’t just stand there and watch. Now that there was a chance to fight back, how could they miss it?

The Versailles family’s decision was within Laura’s expectations. Compared to their enmity with Zhao Hai, the big trading companies had gone even further this time. Therefore, the Versailles family had decided to settle the big trading companies ‘issues first and put the matter with Zhao Hai aside.

In the eyes of a noble family like the Versailles family, there were no eternal enemies. There were only benefits. For the benefit of the family, they were willing to sacrifice anything. Even if Zhao Hai had killed a thousand people, they would immediately become friends with him as long as it brought them great benefits. This was the rule of survival for a large family.

Hence, on the second day after Laura went to the Versailles family, stern visited her again. This time, he was here to discuss the collaboration with Laura.

Laura understood the Versailles family’s decision as soon as she saw Stern’s behavior. She didn’t say much and only discussed the details of their cooperation with the Versailles family.

After Laura and the others had finished their discussion, she immediately sent people to Rocky Mountain to transport food. Of course, this time, there were experts sent by the Versailles family to protect them.

Just as Laura’s fleet set off, the Versailles family announced to the public that ika plain had suffered from a rare insect disaster, and the entire ika plain had gone out of production.

Once this news was released, the entire world was shaken. Not only was the Versailles Duchy affected, but even the surrounding areas were affected. Those in the surrounding areas finally understood why someone had purchased grain at a high price some time ago. All of a sudden, those who had grain in their hands stopped selling.

However, the Versailles family then announced that although the ika Plains had a food shortage, the food supply in the Versailles Duchy was fine and the food supply was guaranteed.

Despite that, the consumption of food in the Versailles Duchy still soared. The price of food also began to rise slowly, but not by much. This was because the red spider lily shop and the Versailles family began to sell food at a fair price at the same time. However, the Versailles family imposed certain restrictions. Everyone who bought food from the red spider lily shop and the Versailles family’s shop had to have a household registration certificate of the Versailles Duchy. The amount of food each person could buy was also limited.

This was the idea that the Versailles family and Lola had come up with. They took the initiative to tell them about the situation in ika Plains and then began to distribute the grain at a cheap price. In order to prevent the big merchants from claiming that they were buying cheap grain and then reselling it, they thought of using the household registration certificate to limit the amount of grain each person could buy.

This move caught the major trading companies off guard. They had never thought that the Versailles family would take the initiative to announce that their grain production had run out. This kind of unconventional move had thrown them into a state of chaos.

What they didn’t expect was that the Versailles family actually used combat food in an emergency. Just when they wanted to raise the price of the food, it was quickly calmed down.

War provisions were something that every country had. No matter if it was a big or small country, they would not use them unless it was absolutely necessary. This was because war provisions were specially designed for war. If they used them easily, in the event of a war, the soldiers would have no food to eat. Naturally, they would not be able to fight, and the country would be destroyed.

Although the world was still considered peaceful, the Duchy of Versailles should not have used its war provisions. The Duchy of Versailles was to the North of the Arkas Empire. Its East was next to the blackdirt wastelands, so it was impossible for there to be any war there. To the west and south were the fiefs of the other two major noble families, the icksa family and the Poland family. To their North was the beastmen Plains, which was not a peaceful place.

The orcs were warlike. Although they had a good relationship with the humans, the environment in the orc grasslands was not very good. The orcs mainly grazed livestock, so when they encountered a natural disaster, their lives would be very difficult. At that time, the orcs would go south to plunder.

The Versailles family hadn’t developed as quickly as the other large families on the continent in the past few years, and this was largely due to their proximity to the beastmen. They had to raise a large number of troops to defend against the beastmen’s attacks from time to time.

However, in recent years, the situation in the beastmen Plains was quite good. They didn’t have any intention of plundering the South. On the contrary, they were doing business with the Versailles family, which allowed them to earn a lot of money.

But even so, the Versailles clan should not have used their combat rations. That would be putting their clan’s safety at risk. Just to save some gold coins, it was not worth it.
