Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

Chapter 58 Tears of Violet Citizens

“From now on, you must listen to Leon in everything. Of course, the premise is that these things must be reasonable. If you don’t listen, Leon will beat her hard for me.”

Evelyn said nonchalantly.

Listening to what Evelin said, Leon and Hei Yu were stunned.

Hei Yu looked at Evelin eagerly.

His eyes were full of pleading.

But Evelin didn't indulge her and simply ignored Hei Yu.

When Hei Yu saw that acting cute and coquettish was useless, his face suddenly fell.

Decided to turn grief and anger into appetite.

It is also this time.

The dishes have been served.

Hei Yu glanced at everyone and found that no one was that serious.

So the little hands became restless.

The cutlery of this world is the knife and fork.

But Lyon still made chopsticks. We can’t throw away our ancestors’ things.

And under Leon's deduction, the entire Sin City has begun to use chopsticks.

Hei Yu saw that everyone except himself and Yun Qing Chi was using chopsticks.

They immediately became nervous, but Leon had already prepared knives and forks for them.

So everyone started to move.

However, the greedy Heiyu always manages to make everyone laugh. Although Yanxin is a little childish, no one says much.

On the contrary, Princess Zoe's eyes became red after she knew what Yanxin had experienced, and she directly told Yanxin that he could come to her place to play when he had nothing to do in the future.

Everyone got along very well.

The dinner ended in great joy.

After seeing everyone off, Leon returned to his room.

Picked up the Mountain and River Sword again.

This may be the last mark left by his great-grandfather, the time traveler, in this world.

Will I be the same as him?

Leon shook his head and decided to fall asleep.

The sky is big and the earth is big, sleeping is the biggest!

As a result, I was in Lyon and had only slept for a few hours.

A sentry knocked on Leon's door.

Leon got up in a hurry.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a sentry with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing Leon open the door, the sentry spoke immediately.

"Leader, there is something important going on. The messenger soldiers are waiting at the gate."

After hearing this, Leon walked out immediately without saying a word.

Outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a messenger covered in sweat was slumped on the ground.

He is a soldier of the Great Yan National Defense Force stationed on the eastern border.

After receiving the order from the superior, he rushed to Sin City without stopping.

Because the road from Sin City to the eastern border has not been built yet.

So much so that the soldier had come all the way from the eastern border on horseback.

Then, just as we entered the city, the horse collapsed from exhaustion.

I can only run all the way here.

The messenger saw Leon and struggled to stand up.

Leon supported him and motioned for him to sit down.

At this time, the other sentry, who had seen the messenger's appearance and went in to fetch water, also brought water.

Lyon fed the water to the messenger himself.

The messenger immediately began to drink in big gulps.

"Drink slowly, don't rush, and speak slowly."

The messenger rested for a while and then spoke.

"Master Leader, at least 300 million refugees have poured into the eastern border, and more are coming this way."

"How much? 300 million?"

Lyon was a little shocked, and from what the messenger said, there would be more.

But this makes it difficult for Lyon.

There is not so much food now.

Much of the grain currently stored in Dayan was confiscated from the homes of nobles and merchants.

At present, the entire Dayan’s grain reserves are only enough to feed 200 million people for half a year.

And this is a careful budget, just in time for the autumn harvest.

But now the sudden influx of so many refugees directly disrupted Lyon's deployment.

Although Lyon had expected an influx of refugees, he had never imagined there would be so many.

Now the problem becomes difficult.

It is not realistic to buy food from the Holy Empire because there is an occupied Violet Duchy in between.

However, Lyon still plans to send someone to give it a try, after all, there is still a sea transportation route.

But the Holy Empire is not having a good time now.

Before Lyon left, hunger was already spreading everywhere.

Even if those nobles had stored food, they would not dare to sell it to Lyon openly.

Otherwise, it is likely to provoke civil unrest.

The orcs in the north also lived a miserable life.

Therefore, Lyon turned his attention to the Elf Empire in the west.

The Elf Empire has a large number of forests and it is like spring all year round.

It can be said that Lyon has never heard of famine in the Elf Empire.

So Lyon plans to start from the Elf Empire.

Find a way to get enough food to feed 1000 million people.

It’s still early now, so there’s still time to plant a batch of seeds.

Lyon calculated that if all the arable land in Da Yan was cultivated, it could barely support 1000 million people for a year.

But now Lyon has not unified the entire Da Yan.

So now we are in trouble.

But no matter how troublesome it is, Lyon must save all these refugees.

No reason, because they were forced to leave their homes, and if they didn't do something, it would go against the original intention of establishing Dayan.

Let everything live in the sunshine.

So Leon returned to the study.

Orders were given to commanders on the eastern border to receive the refugees.

They opened their warehouses to release grain and at the same time recruited these refugees to build roads and cultivate the land along the way.

After doing all this, Lyon called the military camp again.

Li Yang planned to send three regiments of troops southward to conduct peace talks first. If the negotiations broke down, he would unify the southern part of Dayan by force.

There is only one city, Nanxun, in the southern part of Dayan.

And it is close to the southern coast.

And Lyon has enough confidence to go south this time.

He is the Duke of Sin Territory and has the legal right to rule Sin Territory.

When Da Yan was founded, people in small towns in the north and east were supportive.

The support from the East was because Lyon went to rescue the East, while the support from the North was because Lyon fought a battle on the border.

As for the west and south, the total population is about 40.

Among them, the south is the largest.

That's why Lyon sent three regiments of troops south.

Lyon himself set out towards the west with a regiment of troops.

There are two large cities in the west, but they have very small populations.

Most of them are half-elves and some exiled elves.
