Grand Granary
Grain Storage is a building chain in Total War: Three Kingdoms. Its used to house reserves but also provides public order and a discount on Military Buildings.
Building Chain[]
Grain Store
Grain Store (level 1)[]
The small and humble grain has the potential to feed entire communities. Grains are a hardy, long-lasting, staple foodstuff, and a grain store takes up a relatively small space for the number of people it can feed. Harvested by the peasant farmers of the land, and then stored for redistribution and sale later, stores provide a ready supply of nourishment. As animals store food for the long hard winter months ahead, so grain is stored for those times when the harvest is poor or crops are destroyed by flood.

Grain Silo
Grain Silo (level 2)[]
A silo to hold and protect grain stores from theft and adverse weather. A grain silo can contain a much larger volume of grain, supplying a larger number of people with food than a basic store. The large structure keeps the grains safe from floods and disaster and, up to a point, also prevents theft by raiders or bandits – either barbarians from the north looking for easy food, or enemies attempting to disrupt the supply of food to opposing armies, preventing rapid troop replenishment as a result.

Grain Depot
Grain Depot (level 3)[]
Grain distribution can be regulated to guarantee food supplies during lean crop years. A depot stores grain for both food and trade. The contents are carefully regulated and distributed to ensure people are fed enough in order to work, leaving enough surplus to be sold on to those districts where grain is scarce. Management and balancing of grain supply is vital to ensure that when one district is low on grain, it can be resupplied by another and vice versa. In this way, effective nationwide distribution can occur, ensuring a steady food supply for all citizens.

Granary
Granary (level 4)[]
A granary ensures a supply of food is always available through times of hardship. A granary holds a large supply of grain for both food and trade. Grain stocks are constantly replenished so that, if merchants should attempt to artificially raise grain prices, the stores can be sold off at low prices to counteract the inflation. In times of famine or other natural disasters, the granary is tapped to fend off starvation. It also ensures that the city has food for emergencies, particularly if under siege.

Grand Granary (level 5)[]
A large repository of grain guards against starvation and the ravages of inflation. A grand granary holds enough grain to feed the population and have a surplus for future commerce. Release of grain stocks at low prices occurs if merchants try to artificially raise prices and not just during times of crop failure and famine. Enough grain is kept to ensure that the city does not starve should it be besieged, allowing more time for reinforcements to arrive before surrender is the only remaining option.
