The green coffee beans finally filled seventy-four and a half barrels, which was nearly twice as much as the twenty-five barrels that should have been received for the advance payment of v Kir (5 gold).
Lin directly calculated the amount of half a barrel as a whole barrel. On the one hand, the amount was easier to calculate, and on the other hand, there was one last task that had to be entrusted to the villagers here, and that was the problem of transportation.
Although magicians have magic such as giant strength and light object magic, what is the concept of a barrel of thirty kilograms, a total of seventy-five barrels? That is enough to fill a small warehouse. Not two magicians,
The amount that two apprentices and two monsters can carry. It's not because it's too heavy, but it's just too much.
Therefore, the village elders organized all the trailers in the village, and reluctantly loaded all the seventy-five barrels of green coffee beans onto the trucks, preparing to follow Lin to transport them to Wulian City.
Of course, the cost of transportation is calculated separately, and this group of people will not return empty-handed. Lin has already contacted the elders in the village with the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, and prepared a batch of food, just waiting for them to go to Wulian City for trading
, when the time comes, the carriage can carry this batch of grain for the winter on its return trip.
What surprised Lin was that the price of the grain he bought was much cheaper than usual. And if he moved it himself, there would be additional discounts. Of course, Lin would be confused by this impatient selling attitude.
The behavior of speculating on food and annexing land in the Lost World is not as rampant as in ancient China on Earth. But food is considered a strategic level material no matter where it is. Even the Magician Association does not dare to let its subordinates
The Chamber of Commerce is messing around with food.
If you are dealing with ordinary people, you will be dead if you don't have food to eat. So no matter how expensive the food is, you can only shed blood and tears, smile shyly, and exchange the few copper corners you have for food.
But who is the Magician Association facing? For magicians, the so-called civilization, the so-called sanity, all presuppose that the most basic requirements for survival are met. They are starving to death, and the magicians cannot buy food. Is it possible?
Still can’t get it?
As for satisfying the magicians and then exploiting the common people? The prerequisite for such an action is to be able to withstand the good people who will pop up from nowhere and kill the profiteers in order to uphold justice, rob the rich and give to the poor. On Earth, good people
They don't live long; in Lost Land, some 'good guys' are scarier than the bad guys.
Talking about the unusual situation in food prices in front of him. After Lin carefully asked the steward he had made friends with, he realized that this matter was also related to him.
As the most basic strategic materials, in the face of what is expected to be a protracted and time-consuming resistance to the abyss war, leaders with a little bit of brains will not fail to stockpile grain. Some speculative businessmen will of course stockpile more; while some small and powerful people, or
Of course, people with wealth also live in the village.
With the nationwide movement to stock up on grains, grain prices have naturally increased steadily.
However, this abyss invasion war that had no idea when it would end came to an abrupt end. The demons gave up their intention to invade and took the initiative to close the door of the abyss. This unprecedented situation should have been a good thing celebrated by the whole world, but those
People who were hoarding all kinds of supplies all cried. Among them, the one who shed the biggest tears was none other than the Xijia District Branch.
With the mentality of fighting a big war, and it is very likely to end in a bad war, the Xijia District Branch is hoarding all kinds of strategic materials. Also because it is expected that the front line may fall, the materials transported to the Tower of the Great Sage are not enough.
It's just a drop in the bucket. The real bulk supplies are concentrated in Wulian City.
Then the war ended, and a lot of things didn't know where to go. "So, this is the main reason why you jumped off the building and sold it."
"Jump off building sale? Ah, yes, that's really good. It feels right, jump off building sale."
Back in Wulian City, where I had only lived for a few days, the familiar steward of the Chamber of Commerce came over, mainly to deliver food to the villagers. But after seeing Lin Hou, he decided to stay and visit.
.As for the delivery of grain, he left it to his assistant to lead the group of villagers to the granary.
He had a somewhat complaining tone, especially when he looked at the innocent-looking man in front of him. But he couldn't get angry at this big boss. Maybe many people outside hated this man, and they hated him so much, but
He was not a small magic apprentice but a chamber manager who could bully him. In desperation, he had no choice but to continue complaining:
"Sir, you know. The supplies currently accumulated by the Chamber of Commerce are enough to be sold for a hundred years at the normal sales rate. Not to mention that there are a lot of them, which cannot be stored for this period of time."
"So, the higher-ups ordered you to deal with it as soon as possible?"
"It's not stated explicitly, but that's pretty much what it means. Because if you explain something like this clearly, it's a bit like forcing people to die."
"It's hard for you."
"Sir, I need your help. I noticed that your left eye is injured. How about a special healing potion, now on sale, xii bottles (12 bottles) only cost v Kil (5 gold). Real
Jump sale.”
It has to be said that the price has dropped below the cost price. However, potions have a shelf life, so the chamber of commerce has to find a way to clear them out.
But speaking of his left eye, it was actually not damaged. It was just used to cover things that should not be seen. Now that the Chamber of Commerce steward was nearby, Lin happened to ask about the key material that was scheduled to be used to make glasses - Snell crystal.
Snell crystal is actually a rare material with a wide range of uses. Some people arrange pseudo-forbidden magic areas and need materials based on Snell crystal. Because of this, crystals have become one of the targets of the chamber of commerce.
.
Now that there is no war, Lin asked about the Snell Crystal. After a brief explanation, the steward of the Chamber of Commerce asked domineeringly: "How many m Carlo (thousand kilograms) do you want?"
How much material do you need to prepare to grind flat glasses lenses? No matter how bad your craftsmanship is, it is an exaggeration to prepare several tons.
Knowing that he would not be able to do any big business, the manager was not discouraged. He was right to establish a good relationship with the big customers in front of him. However, leaving the business aside, he had some questions and wanted to ask the former tower owner privately: "Sir, you
Do you plan to return to the Tower of the Great Sage?"
"Someone must dare to let me go back. After what happened, I feel that my hope of settling in a magic tower has become even slimmer."
"Then, as a helper, what about other magicians' towers?"
“Has anyone asked you to be a lobbyist?”
"Hehe." The chamber of commerce manager laughed a few times without admitting or denying.
The assistant feels a bit like the deputy tower master. But in the world of Lost World, there is no such thing as a deputy tower master, and although he can also control the magic tower, if the tower master kills people, the assistant who is actually the deputy tower master is also unable to resist.
Generally speaking, the facilitators are husband and wife, and a few are masters and apprentices. However, it is very rare to invite an unrelated person to serve as a facilitator.
Some older magicians would give them such opportunities in order to train their younger generations. But Lin felt more like someone was planning to call him to take advantage of him, and finally use the power of life and death in the tower to get rid of him.
Kill two birds with one stone. It's not like using a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's heart. In fact, Lin himself is not used to relying on others.
"Sir, do you know? Many people have contacted the president, hoping to get the complete layout map of the Great Sage's Tower. However, it also makes many people feel distressed. No one can understand it yet. What are you doing in the Great Sage?
The layout on the Tower of the Great Sage. So the method that everyone is thinking about is to copy it completely one stroke at a time. But then the problem arises again. The Tower of the Great Sage is not complete. What should we do if there is a missing corner?
Everyone has opinions, but no one dares to say that their method will definitely work."
"oh."
"Well, why do you seem a little uninterested?"
"No matter how good you behave, it has nothing to do with me anymore. How can you not let your interest fade?"
Seeing someone's world-weary expression, the Chamber of Commerce steward couldn't hold back his accumulated curiosity and asked: "Well, sir. Why did you leave the Tower of the Great Sage in the first place?"
Because he was forced to leave by the president...? Lin asked himself, of course the president's opinion played a role, but it was not the real reason why he wanted to leave. He said: "No one can accept that there is a devil blocking the door of their house.
.Then when there are a large group of demons blocking the door of their home, who will insist on staying?"
"But the demons couldn't resist the power of the Tower of the Great Sage. Especially at the end, they killed a demon king. This kind of achievement is definitely unprecedented. Whether there are any pursuers behind will depend on the follow-up.
Magicians, don't worry. In addition, the Great Sage's Tower has been upgraded to the highest-level purple color in the association's internal evaluation. It is said that there are still many people who are quite interested in granting the highest-level purple color to the Great Sage's Tower.
What a criticism."
"But it's still up?"
"Yes, that's right. The president's opinion is that the evaluation of magicians and magic towers is based on actual performance. If there is no tangible performance, they will be tested one by one according to the prescribed standards. Today's Great Sage
The tower defeated a 'Devil King', which is an achievement that many five-story Saint Towers have never achieved. It's really surprising that you would abandon such a tower."
"Alas." Lin Cai said with a long sigh, "Who would have thought that even the Demon King could be beaten a dozen times in any tower. If I had known about it at the beginning, I wouldn't have run away, but now I can't go back."
Although he said this, Lin knew that if he were to go back to the situation at that time, he would make the same choice again. He would not want to gamble with his life on whether the magic tower can withstand the devil.
invasion, and against the existence of the highest level of life in the lost world.
At this time, Halumi brought in a magician. His shawl and golden tassels were neatly arranged, and his brows had a bit of heroism. Lin had seen this man before. The steward of the Chamber of Commerce next to him stood up first.
Greeting respectfully: "Lord Shurion."
Shulion, a student of President Chengguo Eaton, was also the main administrator assigned to manage the Charlie Richard Fund established by Lin.
After he entered the door, he greeted Lin Yiping who stood up and said, "Sir Tripwood, the teacher has just returned to the Five United Cities and wants me to invite you and another, um, lich, Fanitikkal, to go to the middle school.
Tower to discuss the matter of granting the status of a magician."
