"A week? And then we'll be out of food?"
Dolores could hardly believe it.
"Yes, the capital didn't have much grain stored to begin with, it's mainly commercial."
"Grain is supplied by surrounding cities. Now, after the riot of the Soul-Lost, some cities have become independent, and with the tense border warfare, grain is needed everywhere."
"Grain is already in short supply, prices are soaring, and the surrounding countries are hostile to us, so there's no way they'd send us grain, therefore..."
The Minister of Finance lowered his head, not daring to meet Dolores's eyes.
"How much are we short?"
Zhang Chen, sitting behind Dolores, suddenly asked.
"The capital consumes over 100 tons of grain daily. If it increases in the future, it might rise to 200 tons per day..."
Hearing this, Dolores gasped.
So much grain?
200 tons a day, if they wanted enough for three months, that would be over 20,000 tons?
Even with transport, it would take a long time, let alone all the wars going on. Where could they possibly procure so much grain?
"Can it be solved?"
Zhang Chen turned to look at the Wood Elf Queen sitting to the side.
In the great hall, Dolores was on the throne in the center, with Zhang Chen's divine seat higher up behind her. Three kittens stood by his side.
To the sides of the throne sat the queens and leaders of various races.
"We Wood Elves can accelerate plant growth, so yield is not a problem, but we don't have any spare land."
"The arable land around the capital is too small. To meet the daily consumption of 200 tons, it might be a bit difficult."
The Wood Elf Queen said with a troubled expression.
Even the most skilled housewife can't cook without rice; although the Wood Elves have excellent talent, without land, how could they conjure plants?
"That's simple, I will create a fertile world. The Wood Elves and Water Elves will be responsible for planting and raising livestock to increase food supply!"
As Zhang Chen spoke, a portal immediately opened.
Through the portal, one could see vast wilderness, mountains, and rivers, a scene of thriving prosperity.
"I can feel the call of the earth! This is truly a rich land!"
The Wood Elf Queen, excited, stood up and said.
"Then I'll trouble you to cultivate in this world!"
Zhang Chen said.
"Your will be done, True God!"
The Wood Elf Queen bowed slightly, then took the Water Elf Queen and walked in.
This scene amazed the leaders and queens of other tribes.
"As expected of the True God, to create a world with just a wave of his hand!"
"He's truly too powerful. Fortunately, we chose the right person. I almost pity those who dare to oppose the True God!"
"The ancient legends are all true. I feel like I've entered a myth right now!"
"We must also work hard, strive to leave our names in this holy war, to be revered by future generations!"
"That's right, my life and everything belong to the True God!"
Xu Linna, standing behind Tang Xueyao, said with disdain:
"Hmph, we're about to break through this kind of technology too. What's so great about it!"
Tang Xueyao, along with Pluto Mushroom and Lin Xiaoxiao, Su Ran, and others, also arrived at the capital.
As Pluto Mushroom got closer to Zhang Chen, he immediately became lively again. To adapt to the environment, he had deliberately discarded Li Ran's body and borrowed Xiuyan's body to sit here.
After all, everyone in the hall, except Zhang Chen, were female queens and leaders, and Tang Xueyao, the cult leader, was also female.
If he, with his big beard, were to be there, it would feel too much of a blight.
So he made use of Xiuyan's body.
"Ahem!"
Pluto Mushroom coughed twice as a warning.
Xu Linna's consciousness, for some reason, was different from other consciousnesses; it was a bit disobedient!
Although overall, she couldn't betray him and couldn't leave Pluto Mushroom, she just didn't want to be as obedient and cute as other consciousnesses.
"Isn't that right? You were captured by me too. You won't forget that, will you?"
"The strength of our genetics school far exceeds your imagination, okay?!"
"So we've cracked the survivors' skills and almost all energy construction formulas. This is science, not some so-called theology!"
Xu Linna continued to mumble.
"Forget it, Mushroom. Let her be. Sister Linna just has a sharp tongue, but she's actually quite soft-hearted!"
Tang Xueyao said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
"Soft-hearted? Have you touched her? We'll have to let the True God educate her properly sometime!"
Pluto Mushroom said indignantly.
