After arranging related work, Hudson's first reaction was to scramble for food, but he quickly abandoned the idea.
The urgent document from the Governor's Mansion was issued at the same time, but given the location of the Mountain Domain, it seemed they were the last ones to get it.
Trying to buy up food at this stage, it would be unknown whether there would still be any food left for sale, either way, the price would have already skyrocketed.
Once the locust plague hit the Southeastern Province, the original food purchase contracts signed with various parties would definitely have to be nullified.
Luckily, Hudson had the habit of storing food. Combining the supplies from the existing reserves and the rescued crops, they should be able to hold out until the start of the next spring.
But the premise was that the locust plague should end as soon as possible, it couldn't endure and affect the autumn harvest, let alone the sowing of the next season's crops.
