Looking at his appearance, Chen Heng shook his head secretly, and then left silently.

Zhan Li's speed was much faster than Chen Heng imagined.

Not long after, in just two or three days, he found ten people.

As Chen Heng expected, most of these ten people were the group with nothing, and were generally the second sons of wealthy families.

As second sons, they were destined to be unable to inherit the title and property of their families. Therefore, if they wanted to get a better life, they could only rely on themselves to find opportunities.

In their opinion, Chen Heng in front of him was such an opportunity.

So, they came here, even a little impatient.

Chen Heng just took a little look at this group of people and agreed.

Zhan Li has a pretty good vision.

Although most of them are second sons, they are from wealthy families and their basic qualities are quite qualified. Not to mention how strong they are, they can still master the writing of words.

For Chen Heng, this is enough.

It’s not that his requirements are too low, but because of the limited conditions, there is no way.

Like any traditional feudal society, in this world, the literacy rate of ordinary people is still very low, in the past, in the Kingdom of Markdo, and in the Kingdom of Carlo.

Even to a certain extent, the Carlo Kingdom was even more serious in this regard due to years of war and war and invasion of the wilderness race.

In this environment, it is already good to be able to read, write proficiently and master the corresponding format.

At least it should be no problem to be a lower-level administrator.

This thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind, and he thought so at this time.

As time passed, it was soon half a month later.

At this time, Chen Heng handed over what he had at hand to Lamu, and then took Hedosily and embarked on the road to Khaki.

They slowly walked towards their goals, and along the way, they were also observing the scenery around them.

“The abandonment of land is very serious…”

Along the road, looking at the scenes everywhere, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind.

Compared with the Kingdom of Markdo, the population within the Kingdom of Carlo is sparse, and its development is obviously not enough.

Along the road, no one was ploughing many lands, but instead let them go barren, covered with weeds.

This is obviously a huge waste.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Heng had already realized some problems.

Population, and food.

The sparse population within the Kingdom of Carlo means that it will probably become much more difficult for him to build his own territory in the future.

Without enough population to support it, even if you own the corresponding land, you cannot fully cultivate it.

To some extent, population itself is a huge wealth.

Without a population, there is no way to truly reclaim the territory.

Compared with the population, the food problem is even more serious.

For a foreseeable period of time, they probably could not produce food by themselves.

In this case, if they want to obtain food, they may only be able to obtain it from the outside world.

However, the land abandonment in the Carlo Kingdom is so serious, and under the circumstances of war, production activities will inevitably be destroyed accordingly.

In this case, how much will the price of food everywhere rise?

At this moment, Chen Heng couldn't help but frown when he thought of this problem.

It is very difficult to simply use purchasing food to solve this problem.

Not to mention that there is not much money in their hands that can purchase grain. Even if they have enough money, it is not an easy thing to buy a large amount of grain from the market under the current circumstances.

At this moment, there is a lack of food everywhere. I am afraid that many people will store food and are unwilling to sell it.

The surplus of food in the Carlo Kingdom is probably quite limited.

It is probably not easy to obtain food from this world.

Therefore, this plan is probably unrealistic.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng thought in his heart, and then a thought slowly flashed through his mind.

noble.

If there is no place to find enough large amounts of food under the current situation, then there are only those nobles.

Especially those nobles who own territory.

Like the natives of Chen Heng's ancient past, the lords of this world also had the habit of storing food.

This is not only because of necessity, but also because a large part of the tax they receive on weekdays is food.

What they collect taxes from the people, and what they eventually get is various agricultural products.

And these things have a very unique characteristic.

In the harvest season, a large amount of grain appears, which is often not easy to sell. Even if it is sold, the price is often very low.

But when the disaster is coming, the prices of these things rise, but those who have enough food on hand are unwilling to sell them.

Especially in front of you.

Those lords must have a large amount of food in their hands.

Just like Silifu.

During these months, the soldiers under Chen Heng were always supported by Xilifu's territory.

But even so, the pressure does not seem to be too great for Silifu.

From this perspective, you can see something.

If you directly target this group, things may be easier.

The only question is how Chen Heng should take out the food from this group of people.

It is not easy to count on these people to bleed.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

In the following time, while they were investigating, they slowly moved forward and towards the khaki.

Finally, after a few more days, they arrived at the city.

Outside the huge city, thick walls surrounded the entire city.

Taking Hedocili, Chen Heng walked on this street.

Compared with other cities outside, the city in front of me does not seem to have any big problems. On the streets, pedestrians are walking along the road. Although many people are rushing and have a serious face, at least they are not in the tragic situation in other places.

At this moment, with the beginning of the disaster, many people everywhere could no longer survive and became slaves everywhere.

However, this situation is rare in the city in front of you.

In this way, although the disaster has come and has caused a very far-reaching impact, it has not yet put a lot of pressure on the city.

Chen Heng just watched this, and after a long time, he turned around and returned to his residence.

The residence where he was located was arranged by the Carlo royal family, and it was a very spacious manor.

The manor is very spacious. Although it looks a bit dilapidated, at least there is no problem with relocating Chen Heng's group.

Chen Heng was walking in this area, observing everywhere.

From his perspective, the city of Khaki is actually very ordinary. Not to mention many cities he has seen, it is much worse than some cities within the Markdo Kingdom.

However, relatively speaking, perhaps because of standing in the wasteland and bordering with aliens, the city's defense is pretty good. Not only is the city wall built very tall, but the defense facilities everywhere are also perfect.
