Chapter 220 The Beginning of the Food Disaster

The merchants of Kul Tiras are a very powerful group of people. It had only been less than a month since Li Ke placed the order. He had just watched his workers install electric motors on their textile machines and finally taught these workers how to do it.

When the motor was being used, merchants from Kul Tiras came with a large number of people.

Not only are there a lot of raw materials, but there are also many craftsmen who can't make it in Stormwind City, Lordaeron, or other places.

These craftsmen came here in desperation after hearing about Li Ke's treatment, and Li Ke naturally did not disappoint them and quickly established factories and workshops one after another.

But not only the arrival of these people, more people also arrived in Li Ke's territory.

"The goblin trade is just a matter of fun. If you really want to see trade, you have to look at Kul Tiras."

Li Ke looked at the cargo list in front of him and couldn't help but was speechless.

These Kul Tirans not only brought a large amount of the raw materials he needed, but also brought wool and cotton they purchased from Stormwind City and Lordaeron.

Some of these businessmen are the ones Hesenway mentioned before, and some simply sensed the business opportunities themselves and came over quickly.

The raw materials they brought were enough to run Li Ke's factory at full capacity for a month, and with the many raw materials they brought, other projects could also be started.

When the dwarf caravan arrives, these caravans may come back again, just enough for Li Ke to establish his chemical system in one go.

"These wools weigh almost more than three hundred tons. Mr. Li Ke, although we have no problem eating these wools, if we continue to do so, woolen cloth will directly impact the entire human world. Isn't it a little early?

?”

Grayson looked at the product list and asked.

For Li Ke, who took away Nefarian's treasury, these products only cost one-thirtieth of the gold coins, and other equipment and treasures did not need to be touched.

But the problem is that Li Ke may seem a little irrational by disrupting the market now.

"How much food have we harvested from the Westfall."

Li Ke asked casually, how could he really pay attention to this?

"Except for those purchased by the dwarf caravan and the Kul Tiras caravan, basically all the remaining grain has been purchased by us at a price that is 30% higher than the market price. So currently, we only have four million kilograms of grain here.

.”

Four million pounds?

If Li Ke remembered correctly before, Lagertha said that the Western Wilderness could only provide three million jins of food at most, and the goblins would only reimburse 700,000 jins.

Although at that time they were unable to collect taxes from the area where Defias was located, now that the Defias thieves have almost disappeared, there are many more places where taxes can be collected, and it can be seen how corrupt these goblin bastards are.

"Get ready. Let the team prepare two million kilograms of grain, three thousand cattle, and four thousand sheep. If it's not enough, buy it. Let's give Varian a little shock. In this way, even if the social aspect is

If there is any turmoil in the world, he will not cause trouble to me."

Li Ke's words made Grayson raise his eyebrows. He thought Li Ke would keep the food in his hands and use it for expansion.

After all, two million kilograms of grain is almost a thousand tons, and three thousand cattle and four thousand sheep...

To be honest, this money is enough for Li Ke to organize an army to attack Stormwind City.

"But, Varian, is it worth it for you to do this? Master Li Ke?"

Grayson couldn't understand it. He had known Varian before. Although he was a good person, being a king was really a mess.

"He's a good man, Grayson."

Li Ke spread his hands.

"Just be prepared.

He doesn't care about this at all. What he wants is simply to have Varian on his side. After all, Varian is really a good person.

Li Ke's words were quickly implemented. The demon civil servants didn't care, while the human civil servants were confused but didn't dare to say anything.

The dragons didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Ke's operation, so his orders were executed quite quickly.

While he was preparing food to pay taxes, someone was already popping champagne in Stormwind City.

"What should we do now?"

Hao Ersen looked at the price of food and couldn't help but cover his head.

"Food prices have risen again, and bread is getting more and more expensive."

Holding the bread in his hand, Hallson took a bite, and the next moment, he felt his teeth bit into a hard object. He calmly spit out the hard object when the children were not paying attention.

His wife couldn't help but shake her head.

"You guy."

His wife looked at her husband who was pretending not to be in pain with distress, knowing that if the other party did not buy her jewelry and she did not buy him sword ornaments, she would not let her husband eat black bread.

"It's okay, I just choked a little, okay."

Howson was a little embarrassed, even a little ashamed. If he had worked harder, he wouldn't have had his wife worry about him.

However, although the tax collector makes a lot of money in everyone's mind, because Howlson doesn't take bribes very much, his family conditions are average in Stormwind City society.

So he was embarrassed because his wife was also eating black bread and only their children were eating white bread.

After all, children's stomachs are still weaker.

This made him feel that he was not fulfilling his responsibilities as the head of the family.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. I married you because I like you, and because you are fair and not corrupt. I will only look down on you because you exploit civilians, not because you have to eat two meals of black bread."

You, my dear."

His wife looked angrily at the head of the family who had an embarrassed look on his face.

"Well, I just, um... okay, honey."

Howson was very embarrassed. After dancing twice under the teasing eyes of the children, he sighed helplessly.

"I'm just worried about the price of food. Food is getting more and more expensive, and there are fewer and fewer food dealers."

There was worry on his face.

Although his family was definitely not in a situation where they had no food to eat, and the reason why they ate black bread was simply because he had a lot of expenses recently, as a tax collector with some conscience and an overall view, he still couldn't help but complain.

stand up.

"Now the price of food has almost tripled. My dear, I really can't imagine how those farmers who don't pay taxes will survive this year."

Her wife was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you help them recalculate their taxes? Why can't they survive?"

She remembered that her husband had recalculated the taxes for the farmers so that they could be exempted from paying a large amount of taxes, but why was it still not possible?

"Because they have no more food in their hands."

Howson sighed.
