Chapter 0330 Elsa's plight.

The Sahara prairie is inlaid in the southeast of the Yingluo Kingdom. The entire prairie is larger than the three Yingluo kingdoms combined. There are many nomadic peoples, or in the form of tribes.

In recent years, most of the orc tribes have increased, and battles happen from time to time, all for the grasslands for sheep and horses to graze.

And Elsa, the eldest princess of the Brutus orc kingdom, established a large orc tribe here, a tribe of [-] orcs, and it is also a tribe that can rank among the top [-] in the entire Sahara prairie.

In the Elsa tribe, this is a whole continuous house, which is a circular house. In the center of the tribe, there is a house twice as big as the others. This is the house where Elsa lives.

In the house, Elsa was cooking by the fire, and her golden eyes were staring blankly at the dancing flames in the middle of the fire. She had been like this for half an hour.

She is recalling the past. She is 22 years old this year. She is the eldest princess of the Brutus Beastman Kingdom. She has been fighting for eight years. Then, fighting with the human race is even more difficult...

However, in the end, the Brutus orc kingdom was destroyed, and was destroyed by the damned natural disaster. Her two years of hard work were all destroyed. She was thinking, was what she did in those two years superfluous?

Under the natural disaster, the Brutus orc kingdom was destroyed, and all the orc families fell apart, even her family was no exception. Her father, Bella's father, and many nobles were unwilling to leave. Saving the kingdom... In the end, they were asked to leave, and it took them five years to leave.

Elsa is 22 years old this year. She came to the Sahara prairie four years ago. Relying on her charisma and clever mind, she managed to own a large tribe of [-] orcs in just four years, making people within a radius of tens of kilometers The tribe dare not underestimate her.

"Princess, it's time to have lunch." The maid called softly holding a tray.

"Hmm." Elsa's lion ears trembled, she turned her head and glanced at the large piece of meat on the tray, and couldn't help but sighed, "Mutton again?"

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

"Killing sheep again?" Elsa frowned with golden eyebrows, and said majesticly, "Didn't you just kill a batch of sheep the day before yesterday?"

"Your Highness, the ones killed the day before yesterday have already been divided." The maid lowered her head and replied.

In the tribe, the sheep are collectively killed, and then the mutton is distributed according to the contribution ability. Old orcs and small orcs share less, only knight orcs and strong male orcs share more, because they want to maintain fighting power. Used to resist the attacks of other tribes.

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

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

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

In other words, the entire Sahara prairie is now killing sheep and eating meat. If you want to eat something green, you don't have to think about it unless you dig grass roots in the snow.

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

"Isn't there still some frozen vegetables? Bring some over here." Elsa looked up, it was a bit difficult for her to swallow, and she almost vomited after eating the meat for so long, mainly because the taste was really bad.

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

"Okay." The maid was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded, 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 that Elsa said, that is, wild vegetables, such as dandelions, diding, and other wild vegetables that were picked on snowy days, all stored in it.

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

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

"Your Highness, there are only nine days left." The maid whispered, the amount she said was to eat one meal of frozen vegetables a day.

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

"Let them peel those sheepskins carefully. Next year, we will see if there are any merchants in the Kingdom of Yingluo who want to buy them." Elsa urged.

Her whole tribe has only two kinds of animals, namely sheep and horses, and the most are sheep. In the first month of winter, many sheep are killed, and then the mutton is frozen in snowdrifts. The sheepskins are used to make houses or clothing.

The houses on the Sahara prairie are made of a lot of wood as the skeleton, plus some sheepskin stitched together, and most tribal houses are made in this way.

The house of the Elsa tribe is no exception, it is also made of sheepskin and wood, but the house where Elsa lives, the sheepskin will be stitched with more layers, which will make it much warmer.

But this house has already been built when winter comes. The sheep that will be slaughtered in the following days and the skins that have been peeled off will be piled up in the snow. If there are people from the tribe in the spring of next year, they can sell them for some copper coins. After all, after winter, sheepskin is worthless.

Chapter 0331 Elsa's Dilemma Part Two.

In the Sahara prairie, more than 30.00 people live by grazing, mainly raising horses and sheep. It can be said that [-]% of the war horses in this era come from the Sahara prairie.

Sheep are exported to all over the world, but all these need to be transported by merchants, 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 few merchants dared to come, and some small merchants came here, and the amount of purchase was not large, which was also one of the factors limiting the development of her tribe.

"Alas..." Elsa sighed after eating. They were no longer afraid of going hungry. They just wanted to improve their lives, but there was no way.

"..." Elsa looked down at the mutton on the plate, smacked her lips, turned to look at the maid, and asked calmly, "Is the salt in the tribe running out?"

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

"You can have nothing, but you can't have no salt." Elsa pulled a sackcloth to wipe her hands, and this salt was also a big problem in her department.

"Your Highness, the traveling merchant said last time that there was an accident in Yancheng and was attacked by pirates. Many saltworks were destroyed, and production will not resume until next year." The maid whispered.

"Then what do other traveling merchants say?" Elsa frowned and said coldly, "Just say that we are willing to pay [-]% more for salt."

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

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

"Yes, they want to triple the price, and then trade it with war horses." The maid said leisurely.

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

"Yes!" The maid replied.

"Damn it." Elsa gritted her teeth, then sat down slumped, pressing her forehead with her slender fingers. The problem of salt is a big deal. If everyone has no salt to eat, they will have no energy 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 period, because there was no salt to eat, everyone had no strength, and then they were attacked by other tribes. Even if they repelled the enemy, they suffered heavy losses.

"Your Highness, also, we have too many draft horses and lambs. Once next spring, if no one buys them, the grass in the grass will not be enough for the sheep, and the horses will eat them." Maid Hui reported.

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

The sheep and draft horses that are locked up now are maintained by eating hay, and hay is prepared one month before winter comes, but the sheep and draft horses will not grow fat if they eat hay, so it can only ensure that they will not be starved. die.

Sheep cannot be eaten. This is related to the rations of the Elsa tribe next year. If there are too few sheep, in May and June next year, there will be faults due to too few sheep.

But now there are too many lambs and draft horses, and it is definitely not willing to kill them, so we can only sell some of them in the spring of next year, so that the ecological balance of the grassland can be restored.

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

"His Royal Highness, do you want to expand the grassland next year?" The maid asked solemnly, she only thought of this method, that is to launch a war, destroy several tribes, and occupy their pastures, so that there will be grass for sheep and horses to graze.

"..." Elsa closed her eyes and thought about it. Launching a war can only solve the temporary predicament. finished goods, such as salt, linen, ironware, pottery, and so on.
