Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Something to Protect
this year, Issac has turned 16. Although the birthday he celebrated with his family is very lively, but the conditions in the kingdom are not as lively. drought and famine.Summer comes earlier than usual.actually the problem is not it. Pest populations such as rats and grasshoppers are increasing drastically. summer is the right time for them to breed.In addition, as they grow, diseases that attack food crops begin to infect wheat, potatoes, and other crops, and a variety of crops ready for harvest.
the entire kingdom was thrown into a panic, whether it was the palace, the territories ruled by other nobles, and the Randall region were not exceptions at all, but, if the management in other regions was bad, it was not the exception, at least with good management and management of the tax system, the Randall region still has sufficient food reserves, even surpluses, until the end of summer and early autumn.so compared to other regions, the, food prices in the Randall area are still very good.
"so as long as the territory that you manage is fine, I think there is no problem. But as a form of family ties, why not just send help to the Sera family and the Balzaac family? we don't have to send them for free. just give them a cheap price."
that's what Issac proposed to his father and his brother, Albert, at the time when they were asking for advice from Issac.of course other than for Anna and Lilianne, this was also for his own sake. Randall publicly announced that Randall's family would be sending aid to residents in the Sera and Balzaac areas. once the aid is given to their Representative, their landlord, the distribution of that aid will not flow smoothly and the people will still experience hunger.
Issac would not have expected something like a revolution would happen in the body of society. From the beginning the goal was not that. make Sera's name dirty and make Randall's name more shining. delivery of help is not a bad exchange.
personally, Issac also sent help on behalf of Starfall, although he did not own the land or territory he managed independently, the statement said, he had bought a fertile land in the territory of Viscount Zen and several other territories.he lent his land to the farmers and allowed them to cultivate the land instead, instead, he lent his land to the farmers, the peasants would give ten percent of their crops to Issac.The crops he kept in the warehouse he had rented from his father.in fact the warehouse was built by Issac but recorded on behalf of his father. and in that barn were hundreds of kilograms of wheat and potatoes.
meanwhile, he expected nothing from the Balzaac family.The only reason he proposed help to his father and brother was because of Lilianne and Sasha. that was all. they would rather spend most of their income stockpiling weapons and building their own army completely useless.
issac's musings were disperse by Lilianne. Well, all this time he was a lot of pensive. a lot of work he had to do and it made him a little depressed.
"It's nothing, Lili. Don't worry. I'm just hot."
Lilianne was already 15 years old.she clearly understood that the man she thought of as her brother was thinking about many things. Therefore, he tried to entertain in his own way.
"then pamper me!"
Issac smiled and stroked Lilianne's head, but she remained very cute even as an adult.
Issac did not care if Heinz's kingdom was destroyed.As man died, the kingdom could be destroyed when the time came.The Heinz dynasty would collapse and other regimes would emerge. he already had something he had to protect even if he had to build a pile of corpses instead of a kingdom awaiting its destruction.
