Chapter 0330 Elsa's plight.

The Sahara prairie is inlaid in the southeastern part of the Yingluo Kingdom. The entire prairie is larger than the three Yingluo Kingdoms combined. There are many nomads, or tribes.

In recent years, most of the orc tribes have increased, and battles have occurred from time to time, all for the purpose of fighting for grasslands and grazing for sheep and horses.

And Elsa, the eldest princess of the Brutus orc kingdom, established a large orc tribe here. It is a large tribe of 30,000 orcs. In the entire Sahara Prairie, it is also a large tribe that can rank among the top 30.

In the Elsa tribe, this is a continuous house, a circular house, in the center of the tribe, a house twice as large as the others, this is the house where Elsa lives.

In the house, Elsa was cooking a fire, her golden eyes staring at the flames beating in the middle of the fire, she had been like this for half an hour.

She was recalling the past. She was twenty-two years old this year. She was the eldest princess of the Brutus orc kingdom. The orcs were fighting, and the humans were fighting even more...

However, in the end, the Brutus orc kingdom was destroyed, destroyed by the **** disaster of heaven and earth, and her two years of hard work were all destroyed. She was thinking, was the work she did in those two years redundant?

Under the disaster of heaven and earth, the Brutus orc kingdom was destroyed, and all the orc families fell apart, even her home was no exception. Her father, Bella's father, and many nobles were reluctant to leave, saying what to try To save the kingdom... but in the end, I asked them to leave, and this is five years.

Elsa is 22 years old this year. She came to the Sahara prairie four years ago. Relying on her charisma and smart mind, in just four years, she has a large tribe of 30,000 orcs, covering a radius of tens of kilometers. The tribes within the range dare not look down on her.

"Princess, it's time for lunch." The maid whispered while holding the tray.

"Hmm." Elsa's lion ears twitched, she turned her head and glanced at the large piece of meat in the tray, and sighed, "Lamb meat again?"

"Yes, it's the sheep that was just slaughtered this morning." The maid replied softly.

"Killing sheep again?" Elsa's golden eyebrows wrinkled, full of majesty, "Didn't you just kill a batch of sheep the day before yesterday?"

"His Royal Highness, the killing of the day before yesterday has been divided." The maid bowed her head and replied.

In the tribe, the sheep are collectively slaughtered, and then the mutton is distributed, according to the contribution ability. For example, the old orcs and the little orcs will be divided less, only the knight orcs and the strong male orcs will be divided more, because they have to maintain their combat effectiveness. Used to fend off attacks from other tribes.

"Let everyone save some food, it's still early before winter passes." Elsa sighed and sat on the main seat.

"Yes, I'll inform them later." The maid respectfully put down the lunch on the tray. It was a piece of mutton the size of an adult's palm, boiled in salt water, and there was a glass of goat milk next to it.

"..." Elsa looked at the mutton on the plate and smelled the mutton smell, which made her not like it very much, but she couldn't help but eat it, and there were no green vegetables in this winter.

In other words, in the entire Saharan prairie, the current life is to kill sheep and eat meat. If you want to eat green things, you don't have to think about it, unless you go to the snow to dig grass roots.

Elsa shook her long blond hair, picked up the knife on the plate, cut a small piece of mutton, opened her mouth to reveal a small fang, stuffed the mutton into it and chewed it.

"Don't you have some frozen vegetables? Bring some over here." Elsa raised her head, it was a little hard for her to swallow. After eating the meat for so long, she almost vomited, mainly because the taste was really bad.

In the tribe, there is a shortage of materials, and everything needs to be saved. Wood cannot be used for fire. In other words, only Elsa uses wood for fire, and others use sun-dried sheep and horse dung for fire.

"Okay." The maid was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately, and stepped outside. The maid came outside and swept away a pile of snow to reveal the wooden boards inside.

This is a cave, used to store some food, such as the frozen vegetables Elsa mentioned, that is, wild vegetables, such as dandelions, ground diced, and other wild vegetables that were picked on the day of snow, all stored here.

After these days of consumption, there are not many wild vegetables left. The maid went down and took out two dandelions, which looked like dehydrated dandelions, scalded them with boiling water, and then mixed them with mutton juice and mutton to eat.

"How many frozen vegetables are there?" Elsa ate the frozen vegetables that the maid brought, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, and asked while chewing, "How many days can I eat?"

"His Royal Highness, there are only nine days' worth of food left." The maid whispered, and the amount she said was to eat one meal of frozen vegetables a day.

"..." Elsa's hand froze when she stuffed the frozen vegetables, she put it down silently, picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into her mouth. Let's save this frozen vegetables for dinner.

"Those sheepskins, let them peel them carefully, and see if there are any merchants in the Yingluo Kingdom to buy them next year." Elsa urged.

There are only two animals in her entire tribe, sheep and horses, and sheep are the most common. In the first month of winter, many sheep are killed, and the meat is frozen in snowdrifts. Those sheepskins are used to make houses or houses. clothing.

The houses on the Saharan steppe are made of wood as the skeleton and some sheepskins are stitched together, which is how most tribal houses are made.

The house of the Elsa tribe is no exception. It is also made of sheepskin and wood. It’s just the house where Elsa lives. The sheepskin will be stitched a few more layers, which will make it warmer.

But the house was already built when winter came. The sheep that were killed in the next day and their skins were piled up in the snow. If the next spring starts, and some ethnic merchants come over, they can sell them for some copper coins. After all, after winter, sheepskins are worthless.

Chapter 0331 Elsa's plight next.

In the Saharan Prairie, more than 90 people rely on herding for a living, mainly raising horses and sheep. It can be said that 30% of the war horses in this era came from the Saharan Prairie.

Sheep are sold all over the world, but all these need merchants to transport, and Elsa is an orc tribe, and there are too few merchants who come to her tribe to buy horses and sheep every year.

No, it should be said that no merchants dare to come, and some small merchants come, and the purchases are not large, which is also one of the factors restricting the development of her tribe.

"Sigh..." Elsa sighed after eating. They were no longer afraid of starvation, they just wanted to improve their lives, but there was no way.

"..." Elsa looked down at the mutton on the plate, sighed, turned to look at the maid, and asked calmly, "Has the tribe ran out of salt?"

"Yes." The maid nodded and said softly, "I'm already saving it."

"You can do anything without salt," Elsa pulled a sackcloth to wipe her hands. This salt is also a big problem in her ministry.

"Your Highness, the foot merchant said last time that there was an accident in Yancheng. They were attacked by pirates, and many salt fields were destroyed. Production will not resume until next year." The maid whispered.

"What do the other dealers say?" Elsa frowned and said coldly, "Let's just say that we are willing to pay 50% more for salt."

"This..." The maid hesitated, and after being glared by Elsa, she said, "They want three times the price."

"What? Three times the price?" Elsa stood up abruptly, the lion's tail fluttered behind her, and said with golden eyes, "Those damned humans are so greedy."

"Yes, they want three times the price, and then exchange it for a war horse transaction." The maid said leisurely.

"Impossible, don't even think about it." Elsa waved her hand and snorted coldly, "Those merchants will not do their business in the future."

"Yes!" the maid responded.

"Damn." Elsa gritted her teeth, then sat down slumped and pressed her slender fingers to her forehead. The problem of salt is a big deal. If you don't eat salt, you have no strength at all.

She has already tried this experiment. When she came to the Sahara Prairie for the first year, she spent the winter because she was not ready.

During the winter, because there was no salt to eat, everyone had little energy, and then they were attacked by other tribes. Even if the enemy was repelled, it was a heavy loss.

"His Royal Highness, also, we have too many draught horses and lambs. Once next spring starts and no one buys them, there will be not enough grass in the grass for sheep to eat with the horses." Maidhui reported.

"This..." Elsa paused with her hand on her forehead. This was another piece of bad news. There was enough output, but no sales.

The sheep and draught horses that are locked up now eat hay for maintenance, and prepare hay fodder one month before winter comes. die.

Lambs cannot be eaten. This is related to the Elsa tribe's rations next year. If there are too few lambs, in May or June next year, there will be faults due to too few sheep.

But now there are too many lambs and draught horses, and it is definitely reluctant to kill them, so we can only sell some of them in the spring of next year, so that the ecology of the grassland can be balanced.

The problem now is that no one buys it. Those human race merchants go to those human tribes to buy sheep and draught horses, but they don't want to come to Elsa's tribe.

"Your Highness, do you want to expand the grassland next year?" The maid said solemnly, she only thought of this one way, that is to start a war, destroy a few tribes, and occupy their grassland, then there will be grass for the sheep and horses to graze.

"..." Elsa closed her eyes and pondered, starting a war can only solve the temporary predicament, and it can't last for a long time. The most fundamental reason is to trade with merchants and exchange sheep and draught horses for coins, no, it is exchange into materials, such as salt, linen, iron, ceramics, etc.
