Cambyses's Delivery
Alexander's reason for keeping grain prices relatively high was to ensure farmers did not quit their farmlands after one bad year.
On the contrary, he wanted to make sure farming was seen as a lucrative prospect to the people.
Because Alexander was still not self-sufficient in food and needed more and more people to join it.
And to his credit, the forced price increase worked. as farmers were able to make a decent profit, leaving them feeling optimistic about the future.
And speaking of the future, Alexander's future successor or if not that, his future princess was about to be born.
It was already mid- September and the mid- wives told them that Cambyses would go into labor not any day, but any hour.
She was already a bit past her nine months after all.
