Anyone who has taken political courses knows that the reason why the currency used for circulation is valuable is not because it is valuable in itself, but because "circulation" is valuable. The transfer of wealth and the sale of goods are a kind of circulation, and the use of labor to obtain corresponding living materials is also a kind of circulation. If one day, money loses its ability to circulation, then it has no value.

This law of capital is also common in the Feren plane. Although the characteristic of "a large amount of gold can be refined into a very small amount of pure gold" gives gold coins a high ability to preserve value, when some special moments of economic collapse, these shining little guys will also lose their position as sought after by people.

Now, the Scott Kingdom is in this most difficult "economic collapse moment" for the poor.

Of course, Scott's economic crisis will definitely not be as complicated as Punk's hometown. The medieval business environment and professionals can still maintain a large turnover of gold coins. Now, the disaster in this country comes entirely from a simple food famine - the terrible famine that lasted for three consecutive years!

In the Feren plane, due to the existence of a large number of unmanned wastelands and semi-magical crops, "Ququmai", a dense population that is completely incompatible with the production conditions of the medieval period is very common. However, it is precisely because of this dense population situation with a huge gap between the rich and the poor that once a famine occurs, a country's food crisis will erupt in a geometrical manner.

If the year-on-year grain production reduction can be barely supported by inventory, then the two-year grain production reduction will be enough to cause a small-scale famine. However, if this situation evolves to three consecutive years of desolation of fields and almost no harvest, large-scale famine will immediately break out across the country!

At this time, the famine in a royal country is not different from the famine in a kingdom. The nobles will try their best to raise the price of grain. The powerful "big figures" and the big-bellied "big merchants" will hoard food and be ready to run away at any time, while the poor will face the tragic state of "if you have money, you can't buy food, and if you don't have money, you can't even see a grain of wheat."

Under such circumstances, just one year later, the Scott Empire had been starving everywhere and dead bodies were everywhere. In addition to the nobles who could rest assured by the food they "buyed" from farmers at prices that were almost open to rob, many remote areas even experienced changing children. In less than a year, the population of the entire Scott Empire had dropped sharply by one quarter!

This is a great famine that affected the entire Scott Empire with lightning speed. Except for a few great nobles who seemed to have been prepared, the entire Scott Empire who had some knowledge cannot understand the reason for the sudden famine!

The environment in the hilly areas of Scott is still comfortable, the soil in the fields is still fertile, and the seeds of "Ququmai" are not a problem, but... why did good grains suddenly reduce yields significantly?

This is destined to be a problem that many people can't figure out, but as the famine intensifies, few people will look for the real reason for the reduction of food production. The great nobles and spellcasters all act deaf and dumb, and the poor can only pray in despair. In theory, the gods here will never pay any blessings to the Scott Kingdom.

Suppressing the inexplicable tension and comforting himself, Ganatica turned back and looked at her companion behind her silently.

This time, the brave man brought all the powerful professionals of the entire Mutual Aid Association. With such a "strong" lineup and the concerted efforts of his partners, the firm young man believed that he would succeed!
