Chapter 027 The God of Cannibalism
When the orcs come, the Kingdom of God will close the city gates.
Luden didn't know what would happen to the people outside the city.
Most of the people in the city will survive.
In order to survive, most people will try their best to stay in the Kingdom of God.
If they are forced to leave the city, the process may not be particularly pleasant.
If you are not careful, you may intensify the conflict.
Once there is bloodshed and things get out of control, it is impossible to say whether God’s country will still be God’s country tomorrow and who its citizens will be.
Therefore, the rulers of the Kingdom of God, the Thirteen Saint Families behind the scenes, formulated a very simple rule:
You can spend enough money to buy temporary residence in Shenland.
When the bell rings, people can use miso, grain, wood, silk, ceramics... any valuable hard currency to exchange for time.
10 meters of food can be exchanged for 5 days of temporary residence, which is equivalent to a unit price of 2 meters per day.
It looks very cheap.
Luden knew that was far from the truth.
First of all, the Kingdom of God collects food to deal with the coming orcs.
After the orcs attacked and the city gate was closed, the demand for food in the city increased instead of decreasing.
The Kingdom of God can indeed be self-sufficient, but food does not grow in a day, it takes enough time.
Even a fool would not think of planting rice until he was hungry.
At the same time, the price of food will also rise!
The demand for food suddenly increases, and the total amount of food is only so much, which will naturally lead to an increase in food.
Secondly, even if you obtain the temporary right of residence in the Kingdom of God, it does not mean that you will be able to live there once and for all!
After entering the Kingdom of God, there are expenses everywhere.
It costs money to eat, drink water, and accommodation...
Even if they squeeze their heads to enter the Kingdom of God, many people will be destitute after the city gate is closed for a while.
Countless people will go bankrupt, end up on the streets, or even become slaves...
This is just the beginning of the nightmare.
If the orcs never leave, the days ahead will only get worse.
Finally, there is one more thing Luden needs to know:
If I use miso to buy temporary residence, what is the price?
On the way to Gu Lei's house, Luden stopped many passers-by and asked, and received various answers:
"The last time, it was 4 meters per day. Thank God, the money I saved is enough for me to survive this time."
"Damn orcs, I just spent money to buy a piece of land outside the city. Do you want the land? I'll sell it to you for 200 meters!"
"The Senate hasn't met yet, who knows?"
"..."
From the words of passers-by, Luden learned that the purchase price of Miso was decided at a meeting of the Senate.
Before that, a citizens' meeting of the Kingdom of God needs to be held, and all members of the Kingdom of God have the right to participate and have the right to vote.
These processes can take as little as two or three days, or as slowly as one week.
In short, I will rush to arrange everything before the orcs arrive.
At the same time, a steady stream of materials will be transported into the Divine Kingdom, and warehouses everywhere that have been idle for a long time will be put into use.
There is no doubt that the granary is filled first.
Luden had no objections to Shenbang's approach.
This kind of naked and undisguised cannibalism, paying for one's life, would not surprise Luden.
However, every time it is shown in front of him, he has to sigh for the human species.
Human beings can climb to the top of the food chain, and this despicable method of exploiting their own kind is indispensable.
Rather than saying that all mankind has climbed to the top of the food chain,
Rather, a handful of people climbed to the top of the food chain, while the rest were scattered throughout the food chain.
After gathering his thoughts, Luden continued walking forward.
After the bell rang, there was some confusion in the Kingdom of God, but it was quickly calmed down.
This is not the first time that the orcs have attacked. Every citizen of the Divine Republic has a familiar muscle memory about this.
The experience passed down from generation to generation gives them confidence that they can survive this crisis.
Luden quickened his pace and soon arrived outside Gu Lei's house.
He knocked on the door, but before he knocked three times, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was Gu Lei. When he saw Lu Den, his eyes lit up.
"Luden, you're finally here, I'm just missing you."
Luden obviously did not expect that there would be someone else in this meeting.
He smiled slightly, said nothing, and followed Gu Lei into the living room. Five people were already sitting here, and they had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry, it took me some time to change clothes."
Luden explained briefly, found a seat in the corner, sat down and listened quietly.
To this small circle, he is an absolute outsider.
If it weren't for the sudden incident of the orcs' attack, Gu Lei wouldn't have led the way and entered the circle so quickly.
As the initiator of the party, Gu Lei cleared his throat and began his opening remarks,
"Everything in this meeting and conversation was witnessed by the Sacred Code. There is absolutely no violation of the Sacred Code. I praise the Sacred Code."
Everyone present echoed in unison,
"Praise to the Sacred Code!"
"Okay, let's make a long story short."
Gu Lei stood in front of the long table, looking very energetic and in a state of extreme excitement.
Obviously, the attack of the orcs is not a crisis for him, but more like an opportunity.
"The first thing is that when the orcs attacked last time, my teacher and I proposed a motion to counterattack the orcs..."
The proposal coming from Gu Lei's mouth made Luden feel refreshed.
Counterattack?
He never expected that he would find the second person with eggs besides himself in the Kingdom of God.
Luden thought that everyone was going to accept the status quo and be a coward.
Gu Lei leaned forward, waved his arms, and said excitedly,
"This time, we will still propose a bill. We need the support of enough scholars and judges to allow the bill to enter the referendum stage!"
Obviously, this was his main purpose for holding this gathering.
Luden, on the other hand, was only invited to this party as a bystander.
On the one hand, Gu Lei admires Luden.
He believed that Luden could come up with some eye-catching ideas that might have miraculous results.
On the other hand, the meeting was completely legal.
Even in an open-air environment, Gulei had no worries.
In fact, the same meeting has been held countless times in the Kingdom of God.
Gu Lei is definitely not the only one who wants to counterattack the orcs.
He is not fighting alone.
Gu Lei's proposal was recognized by everyone present.
Everyone agrees to do this, but... everyone has a little condition.
A fat man with his hands full of emeralds and jade rings kept twisting his body on the small chair and hummed,
"Gu Lei Scholar, we have always had a good cooperative relationship. We pay more attention to your teacher's friendship and are willing to provide all support for this..."
The fat man muttered for a long time before he said in a whisper,
"Our boss also hopes that this friendship will be reciprocated."
Gu Lei frowned slightly and asked, "You might as well speak more clearly."
"It's very simple."
The fat man spread his palm, which looked more like a giant meat pie, and said,
Chapter completed!
