Alexander listened to Lady Parthia's succinct proposal on the matter of grain intently, agreeing with most of it.

'Indeed, it has to be like that. There is little hope of rescuing the flooded area by itself. Hopefully, Tibias has enough grain or I will have to beg Pasha Farzah once more…. *Tsk*... what a pain.'

For obvious political reasons, Alexander did not want to show his empty palm to the opportunistic old man right now. Hence the slight irritation.

Thankfully, he also felt such an event was unlikely.

Tibias, especially southern Tibias was quite fertile, with the Diannu river delta even producing some patches of land that were among the most productive lands in the whole world.

So they definitely produced enough surplus to come to Alexander's aid.
