Barcelona did not meet with the representatives of the peasants outside the city, and the peasants did not disperse. They buried their pots and prepared rice to arrange camps and put on a long-term petition. In addition to the farmers who had arrived in Constantinople, farmers also rushed to various agricultural areas of the Eastern Roman Empire.

There is a curfew throughout Constantinople, and some streets are prohibited during the day. Residents who are forced to detour from afar are complaining. Walking through the streets and listening to these complaints, Sheila is just glad that she did not choose to ride a carriage. The carriages on the street are far away from walking, and Sheila has surpassed one carriage after another and arrived in front of her destination.

这里是一处宅子,宅子的主人是个大贵族,此时带着全家回了乡下.重建军团之后的罗马朝廷掌握了君士坦丁堡内所有人的生杀大权,在这种时候君士坦丁堡内大部分人对于大贵族们并不友好.

When he entered the house, he came to greet the young face. The relative of this nobleman was temporarily responsible for the housekeeping. Sheila was very brave. If a person rushed in, the old and weak in the house could not even resist at least. The living room was filled with young faces, because there was no carriage in the courtyard, Sheila was a little surprised. When she heard everyone with the congregation discussing the convenience of walking, Sheila couldn't help but smile. The old guys were used to things representing their identities, but young people might not be. At least for Sheila, walking was actually quite comfortable.

Everyone quickly let Sheila sit in a very important position, and the young man in charge of the house asked: "Miss Sheila, I think what you said last time makes sense, but can it really be done?"

"Can we see the Song Dynasty? I have said before that the land in the Song Dynasty, Yugram can produce about 50 Atabi wheat, while the output of Eastern Rome is 30 Atabi."

"I think there are only 25 Atabi in many places." Someone said what he knows about the output.

Sheila didn't want to worry about this content, she continued: "If the production of Eastern Rome can also reach the production of Song Dynasty, what do you think is the profit price of selling grain?"

"Twice the beginning of the year?" The young nobleman said a very direct feeling number.

Sheila sighed in her heart. She originally felt the same way, but after asking the technicians in the office, she realized that it was actually unreliable. She stood up and walked to the blackboard she had prepared according to her instructions to take out the notebook in her pocket, picked up the chalk and copied it according to the contents of the notebook.

Farming is not a simple process of burying the seeds into the soil and waiting for the seeds to mature and harvest. Sheila wrote the simplest process, including breeding before sowing, ploughing land, composting, fertilizing, and driving away birds and beasts. As well as various labors of cultivators. Even the recent process has been written for several minutes.

It took another half an hour to explain and finally add up all the consumption. If we don’t talk about how much to give to the cultivators after the harvest, just based on the investment in the production process, if a Yugram land produces 50 attabi wheat, its price is actually a little lower than the landed price of wheat imported from the Yuan Dynasty. It is much lower than the wheat price at the beginning of the year.

The young nobles were all confused. Some were shocked by the price, and more were at a loss by Sheila's familiarity with agriculture. Many people saw Sheila's eyes full of distrust. The price was really so low. Wouldn't it be possible to make a fortune even if she farmed?

After being at a loss for a while, the guard nobleman said noddedly: "Let's talk about something else."

Sheila was full of contempt for these useless men, whether it was old, young, or middle-aged nobles. The reactions of these people after hearing these narratives were the same. They didn't believe it and didn't want to try it. Well, only a boy from the Dahl family, who was called an abnormal Dahl family, was full of interest in these and signed a cooperation agreement with Sheila. Now the agricultural technicians in the office have brought the tools and seeds to the Dahl family. The apprentices recruited by the Europa Province also followed suit to help. If these nobles don't care about this at all, perhaps only the boy from the Dahl family can make the nobles understand that this kind of thing is not impossible. If they don't do it, of course they can't do it.

After that, the nobles began to discuss the recent situation. More and more people outside the city, but Barcelona insisted on not seeing representatives of these people. It is said that Barcelona's attitude was to never accept coercion. Most of the nobles believed that Barcelona was too stubborn. If they were willing to meet peasant representatives and agreed to raise the food price, a crisis that shocked Eastern Rome would likely be eliminated immediately.

Sheila didn't say anything, but just listened quietly. She felt that the nobles certainly wanted to raise the price of grain, but they didn't have the courage to publicly announce their position. If people on the street heard the nobles' claims, they would have to spit out even if they didn't throw stones. The result of the rise in grain prices was that the already empty urban residents' pockets would shrink greatly, and they wouldn't even have enough food.

When I was listening, someone asked Sheila, "Miss Sheila, I don't know what you think about the court's unwillingness to pay. The court is so rich and able to support so many legions and legion families, why are they unwilling to pay for money to increase the price of grain?"

Sheila looked at the person who was asking, and it was not just the nobles who said this. Many of the residents in the city raised the same view. Sheila's old neighbors were like this. In order to make these people understand the problem, Sheila had already lost a lot of talk. Now she was too lazy to say it because the old neighbors did not understand the current politics and finances of Eastern Rome. Even if the problems were sharp, they would not blame them. The nobles asked this question and made her feel that these guys had ulterior motives.

Seeing that Xila did not say anything, other young nobles also asked. Xila could only speak: "Everyone, you know what currency did the imperial court pay to the Yuan Kingdom for the purchase of the food from the Yuan Kingdom."

"What currency?" the nobles were confused.

"Importing grain from the Yuan Dynasty was internal trade of the four-party alliance. The court paid the four-party money to the Yuan Dynasty." As he said that, Sheila couldn't help but open her bag, took out her wallet, and took out a four-party money to these nobles to see. After they finished reading, Sheila took out a few coins from the wallet, "This is the coins from our Eastern Rome. What you want to sell grain in Constantinople is this kind of money. Do you know the settlement model of the four-party money?"

Following her previous confusion, the nobles began to shake their heads with two confusions. Sheila could only walk to the front of the blackboard, unable to bear to destroy the food cost calculation model she wrote, so she chose a vacant seat. But the vacant seat was too small, and Sheila could not write what she wanted to write. In the end, she felt that she was angry and evil was coming from the heart. Since the nobles didn't care, there was no need to leave it for them to study. Sheila wiped off all the previous ones and began to write about the appearance and internal trade model on the empty blackboard.

The four-party alliances conducted international trade through money shops in the Europa Province. After the food from the Yuan Kingdom was sent to Eastern Rome, it completed customs clearance inspection and weighing and then entered the warehouses in various places. After that, it was not the Eastern Roman Empire to pay, but directly transferred the accounts from the money shops in the Europa Province. The same is true for purchasing goods in the Yuan Kingdom. After the price quality and delivery, the money was also transferred from the money shops in the Europa Province to the accounts of the Eastern Roman Empire and other suppliers.

This trade settlement model is not even used for four parties to pay money, and it is entirely completed on the books. The money houses established by the Europa Province for trade are not covered by the Song people from the Europa Province, and they are all controlled. Each settlement has the full participation of the permanent accounting groups of relevant countries to ensure that the data is fine.

Unlike the previous talk about grain cultivation, the nobles asked questions and spoke when they were listening. Before Sheila could tell the final result, the smart and capable nobles shouted excitedly: "It turns out that the food obtained by the imperial court has nothing to do with domestic trade and currency."

Some of the not-smart enough were confused. Sheila told the story for a long time in detail. The clever gang of 'smart's in the middle interrupted, showing that they had already understood the problem. Those who were not-smart enough listened to this chaos for a long time before they suddenly realized. The young nobleman in charge of guarding the house sighed: "No wonder Basels is determined to refuse to agree to raise the food price."

"How do you say it?" The clever ghost couldn't understand this time.

The secret boy said proudly: "The domestic grain price has nothing to do with the imported grain price. If Basels raised the imported grain price, wouldn't he have to give more money to the Yuan Dynasty so that the court would not do this."

This view was immediately denied, "You are wrong. The foreign grain prices are different from those in China. No matter how high the domestic grain prices are, the imperial court does not have to give more money to Yuan."

The boy in charge also thought this view made sense, but he still felt something was wrong, and he couldn't help but argue. Listening to these guys' nonsense, Sheila felt that the men were really unreliable. Just as she was impatiently lowering her head to drink tea, she heard the boy in charge who was already at a disadvantage in the argument asked: "Miss Sheila, come and tell me."

Of course Sheila didn't want to help the guardian boy, and did not agree with the other people's views. She said after drinking tea: "The domestic grain price is different from the foreign grain price. There is a very important reality. The trading parties of the Sifang Alliance have money in their hands and have a lot of Sifang's money to pay for the transaction. But we in Eastern Rome have no money and no money to buy any food. Do you think it's the church to make porridge? If you want to raise the price of grain, then I ask you, there were many people buying grain at the beginning of the year. Who did your family sell the grain? At the current price of grain, many of your family have started selling grain, but how much grain has been sold. Some people buy and some sell it. If the price is low, the seller doesn't want to sell it, and the buyer can't afford it."
