At this point, the internal turmoil in the Versailles family was over. What no one expected was that the final winner turned out to be Ivan, who was so low-key that he was looked down upon by others.
And no one dares to say no to this result, because the meeting was held under the witness of the Hunyuan Sword Master. If someone objects to this result, they are against the Hunyuan Sword Master. No one in the Versailles family has the courage.
.
At the same time, the die-hard faction of the three elders finally discovered that Ivan had unknowingly gained the same strength as them, and their defeat this time was not unjust at all.
The three elders selected by Ivan this time are also very interesting. Two are neutrals, the backbone of the Ivan faction, and the last one is actually Stern of the Great Elder faction.
Everyone in the Versailles family knows that although Stern is the foreign affairs elder, he seems to be very close to the great elder Caesar, almost to the point of obeying his words, and now he has been elected as the third elder. This
It was really beyond everyone's expectation.
But they soon understood why Ivan did this. Ivan elected Stern as the third elder, and soon took over the former power of the great elder. Now he is a die-hard force in the Presbyterian Church.
, has accounted for more than 60% of all seats in the Presbyterian Church. Such a number is really terrifying. Even the original great elder did not have such strength.
It was only then that Caesar and the three retired elders understood the power of Ivan. With just one elder position, most of the power under the great elder could be captured. Such a hand severing was definitely a political move.
Made by an experienced hand.
The results of the Versailles Family Presbyterian Council also stunned those in the big business houses. They never expected that the two people they supported would eventually fall, while the forgotten Ivan would suddenly rise to prominence.
.
This caught those big trading houses off guard, and something even more shocking happened. Just when the Presbyterian meeting was just over, Ivan suddenly announced that the Versailles family had shipped a large amount of grain, and the price would be low.
They bought it to civilians in the Principality of Versailles at a high price. As soon as this news came out, the price of food fell sharply.
And Ivan didn't lie. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw truckloads of food being transported into Casa City. Although they were all bamboo rice, people now also know how to eat bamboo rice.
Many noble families will eat some bamboo rice, not to mention some common people.
Those big trading houses have also calculated that the amount of bamboo rice shipped into Casa City this time was nearly one million jins, and the amount of bamboo rice shipped to other cities in the Principality of Versailles was also nearly 3 million jins and more than 4 million jins.
As soon as grains poured into the Principality of Versailles, the price of grains could not rise even if they wanted to.
Those big merchants now all understand that they were tricked by Laura this time. If they couldn't figure out such an obvious thing, they wouldn't have to work as merchants anymore.
But they couldn't tell the pain. They had no good intentions when they agreed to Laura's conditions. They planned to wait for the person they supported to take over and then join forces to deal with Laura. However, they didn't expect that Laura would have a better move.
Clean them up first.
Those big trading houses also knew that if the situation was over, if the fight continued, they would probably offend the Versailles family to death, and their lives would be even more difficult. Therefore, almost at the moment when the food entered the city, the Versailles Principality's
Food prices have all come down.
At this time, the food crisis caused by the insect plague and this series of chain reactions are truly in the past, and this time there are only two biggest winners, one is Laura and the other is Ivan.
But no one knows that there is actually a winner. This winner has been hiding behind the scenes, but has made the most money. This winner is Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai has earned nearly 20,000 gold coins in total during this food crisis so far, and now he continues to put money into his pocket with an income of several hundred gold coins every day. The most important thing is,
This crisis was caused by him.
When Zhao Hai received the message from Laura, saying that the storm had been settled, he couldn't help but want to laugh. This storm was caused by him, and now it has been settled with his help. The most important thing is
Yes, they made money, and they also sent Ivan, a person who had friendship with the Buda family, to the throne of the Versailles family, and truly took power. This is very important to Zhao Hai and the others.
.
Now that Ivan is in power, he will not take action against the Buda family. This will also relieve them of a crisis. They will almost no longer have to worry about the Principality of Versailles dealing with them.
Zhao Hai did not expect that the final result would be like this. This was really beyond his expectation. Now he no longer needs to take care of the affairs in Casa City. Even if it is food, he does not need to provide it.
Those large commercial banks have reduced prices to sell grain, and the price of grain around the Principality of Versailles has also dropped. The food crisis has been officially resolved.
This news is not necessarily a good thing for Zhao Hai. To be precise, buying food is really profitable for Zhao Hai now. It can bring him hundreds of gold coins every day. Now other
The local area also sells grain, so his income is much less.
However, just buying food every day can still bring Zhao Hai nearly 200 gold coins in income. The negative consequences of the actions of the big trading houses some time ago have now been fully revealed.
Ordinary civilians can also hold grudges. They know who helped them when they were in the most difficult time, and they also know who harmed them when they were in the most difficult time.
It is precisely because of this that very few people go to other stores to buy things, but most people still go to Bian'an Flower Store to buy things.
At this moment, those big merchants had no choice but to be convinced. Laura was really much smarter than them in doing things this time. She actually created a golden brand in the entire Principality of Versailles invisibly.
These big business houses all understand how difficult it is to create such a golden signboard. As long as they have this signboard, Bi'an Flower Shop will definitely have a lot of money in the future.
But now they have no use thinking about it. They can only think of ways to attract people to their store, so they have no choice but to offer some very favorable conditions, such as reducing the price of certain products.
Or buy things, give small gifts, etc.
These big businessmen have been doing business for a long time, and they know this little trick very well, and they are naturally familiar with it now.
But even so, there are still not many people who go to their store to buy things. They also know that what they did before has completely offended these civilians, but fortunately, they are all big businessmen with rich families.
If you can afford the compensation, as long as you wait for a while, you should be able to recover slowly.
However, it is no longer possible to return to the way it was before, and Laura will not let go of this opportunity. She will definitely seize the opportunity to occupy the market. Even if they recover, they will only be able to drink soup.
.
The most important thing is that these big business houses have offended the Versailles family this time. If someone they support comes to power, it's a good thing that they won't embarrass them and may even give them some benefits. And this time the person who comes to power will
But it happened to be Ivan, who had no contact with them at all. Don't say good things to them. If Ivan didn't drive them out of the Principality of Versailles, he would just give them face.
Zhao Hai doesn't care what happens in Casa City. What he cares about now is the situation in the black soil wasteland and the corpse swamp.
Just when the Versail family held its first elders' meeting, Zhao Hai had already received news from Zhao Zui. They saw Buffy, Saint of the Wind, but there was no movement. Although Buffy was very curious about these zombies,
But he didn't touch them, after all, it was a corpse swamp.
When he heard that Buffy had really entered the Carrion Swamp, Zhao Hai was relieved. He released the slaves and loaded up everything in the castle. The oil press started working, and the stone mills also started working.
, this time they are going to process the rice. This rice is much stronger than ordinary bamboo rice. Zhao Hai still has a lot left in his hand. They are keeping this rice for their own consumption.
It turns out that the bamboo rice bought by Green and others had been given to Laura by Zhao Hai a long time ago. What Laura and the others first sold were the bamboo rice bought by Green. You must know that the bamboo rice produced in space is better than the bamboo rice bought by Green.
He was a lot stronger, but Zhao Hai couldn't bear to sell all the good things and keep some bad things for himself.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also started to improve the land outside the black soil wasteland. Now it has entered August. It is already late to plant some food this month, so Zhao Hai did not sow his own seeds, and got some from Ark Continent.
Let the slaves try to plant seeds of common wild vegetables, and Tongjin also began to save some firewood to prepare cotton clothes for the slaves for the winter.
When Zhao Haidi was on the ball, one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. Now when he got here, more than a hundred people were counting on him. Only then did he realize that he really had to prepare a lot of things.
The first thing is to burn firewood. It is impossible to lack this in winter. If it is missing, people will freeze to death. Add in cotton clothes and food, and all these things add up to a lot.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai has now set up a temporary teleport point in Casa City. This teleport point is not the fixed teleport point set up by Zhao Hai. It is Green who arrived in Casa City and bought it in a relatively remote place in Casa City.
After getting off a house and entering the space from that house, it becomes a teleportation point.
Through this teleportation point, Zhao Hai bought a lot of things. It was impossible for him to use glass windows for those slaves. Those things were too expensive, so he could only buy some window paper, and then put a glass window in each slave's house.
A bed, a cabinet, a table, four chairs, a brazier, a copper kettle, and some things for eating.
After everything was done, Zhao Hai discovered that he had spent nearly five thousand gold coins without knowing it. The money spent was indeed much faster than the money.
