Chapter 1, Looking North as the Wolf Smoke Rises_1

Seemingly cursed when it came to "grain", Hudson, since becoming a lord, had to worry about insufficient food supply every year.

To address the food crisis, Hudson had spared no expense to expand cultivation. However, expanding cultivation intensified the food crisis in his domain.

The food production capacity of the Mountain Domain reached new highs every year; likewise, the gap in the food supply also hit record highs year after year.

It was as if a wrong script had been followed, falling into a strange loop of "the more the food shortage, the more the cultivation, the more cultivation, the more the food shortage."

The solution was quite simple: slow down the development pace of the domain, cut down the number of hired workers, and deal with the surplus slaves.

Without the pitfall of cultivating land, the consumption of food would decrease. The situation of food insufficiency in the Mountain Domain could immediately be reversed.
