yea okay, 11.000 bushels is a large amount.
But when I have just my stores filled, 24 percent of my consumption will be based on rotting rather than being eaten by peasants. Those 6000 bushels will last around 24 days, which is just enough to cover the consumption for the winter. Which would mean I need to store food in other regions, but isn't that against the idea of the current trade system? That way of managing food. Also, yes, I could let an amount sit in the regions and pray lords won't sell to other realms.
