His wife was stunned for a moment, and then understood everything instantly.
Farmers are very eager to make more money. When the price of food began to rise before, many farmers sold a large amount of food in order to earn enough money.
After all, it is normal for grains to rise and fall. When harvesting has just begun, grain prices will inevitably fall, and after harvesting for a period of time, grain prices will naturally rise.
And it will change due to various reasons. For those farmers, what they can do is to sell more grain when the price of grain rises, and then buy some old grain to survive.
This is a risky behavior, but it is especially true for farmers who are in urgent need of money, especially those farmers who have not sold their woolen cloth for the price this year and have to pay taxes.
They feel that they are lucky enough to be able to avoid a little risk, and coupled with the businessman's words, it is not difficult at all for these farmers to sell their rations for a little profit.
"I see……"
Pursing her lips, the woman looked at her jewelry. She looked at her husband, knowing that her husband would never do nothing when facing refugees, so she thought about it and decided to put this
Return the jewelry and buy some food during this time.
That is to say, it can save her husband from chewing black bread, and it can also prevent her husband from being unable to do anything when he wants to help refugees.
She has always opposed her husband becoming a tax collector because of this. Her husband is too soft-hearted.
"The territory directly under the king is relatively good, because His Highness Varian's tax is not heavy. Although there are 'examples', it is not much easier than other places, but it is still much better. But even the price of food here is
It’s doubled.”
Howlson was a little irritated. He didn't know how those places that had a poor harvest this year would survive. After collecting taxes in those places, farmers would only have one or two months of rations left at most. What could this amount of rations do?
And... there is news that goblins have also entered the venue.
He subconsciously touched his sword ornaments. He planned to use a sum of money to buy some food in future storms to ensure food and clothing for his family, especially his wife.
However, this was bought for him by his wife...
He hesitated a little, but became determined in an instant.
His wife bought him this to make him look powerful in front of his colleagues and make him happy.
But if being a husband leaves your wife and children with insufficient food, what's the use of being glamorous on the outside? Being a good husband can make him hold his head high, be powerful, and be full of happiness.
So, he made a decision.

"Oh? Why is the goblin so anxious?"
A noble stretched his body gracefully. The scent of a twenty gold coin bottle of perfume sprayed on him covered up the smell of his body very well, and the sofa he was sitting on was worth a hundred gold coins.
Velvet cushions and pillows, as well as fine, scented woods, are so expensive.
In front of him were pastries and steaks sprinkled with expensive spices, as well as clear wine.
Every dish on the table is carefully cooked by the chef. Ordinary people only buy a few spices during festivals. Now they are like snowflakes sprinkled on a piece of steak. But unfortunately,
He only took one bite of the steak, but because it didn't taste good, he put it on a silver plate specially used to hold garbage.
He was a member of the previous meeting to discuss Li Ke's life experience, and he was also a member of the top nobles in Stormwind City.
"Yes, it seems that because of the loss of food supply in the Western Wilderness, the food prices of the goblins have begun to rise this year, so the goblins want to know if they can get a batch of food from us."
In the eyes of outsiders, a man who was a super businessman was kneeling in front of this nobleman with a low eyebrow, carefully wiping the nobleman's boots. Even if the other party stepped on his head with his boots, he was still
A look of loyalty.
"It's a pretty good idea..."
The noble young man took out a silk handkerchief. The raw material alone of this silk handkerchief cost five gold coins, not to mention the fine patterns embroidered on it. However, the nobleman only used it to wipe his mouth and then threw it to the ground.
It's obvious that I don't plan to use it anymore.
"How much are they going to pay?"
"Well, they want to blackmail us and use our previous handles."
There was hesitation in the businessman's words.
"Then clean it up. The goblins must be tamed well so that they can know who is the master of this world. They want to enter the market of Stormwind City to make a fortune, but they have too many thoughts.
Already."
The noble's words were understated, but the businessman couldn't help but tremble.
Because of just such a sentence, at least a hundred of his men would die.
But obviously, no one cares whether they survive until tomorrow.
After all, those people don't do this business, there are people who do it. As long as the wages are slightly improved, these untouchables will pop up like weeds.
"Also, over there in the Western Wilderness..."
The businessman asked boldly, but the noble just laughed.
"They will be too busy to take care of themselves, and he has no intention of helping Varian at all, so don't worry that he will cause trouble. Give him a contract. We will buy as much grain as he has. Just buy it at the market price. Let him take care of it.
Don’t you want to build some kind of factory?”
The noble hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Help me purchase some wool, and try to see if I can get him to be accommodating and make some specialties his local specialty, or let him make some there."
The nobles thought of what they had pushed Onyxia to do before - to help Li Ke.
Although Li Ke's attack was a bit powerful, they also received Tenaris's affirmation.
Li Ke is definitely his illegitimate son.
As for the other party's denial gesture... this kind of thing cannot be denied, because denial is true.
If he didn't say he hadn't heard of it, that's for sure.
After all, you can't get a king to admit to having an illegitimate child on anything that can serve as evidence.
This is the most basic understanding.
Tenaris would never make such a mistake.
So the nobles confirmed the identity of Li Ke's illegitimate son. Although they were curious about why he looked nothing like Tenaris, they thought that the person who could make Tenaris make a mistake must be a beauty, so they didn't doubt it much.
They also confirmed that Tenaris planned to choose the best of the two children to succeed him.
Although it is very deviant, for Tenaris, he has this qualification. And for the people of Stormwind City, this is also an opportunity for speculation.
And it can be seen with the naked eye that Alsace is not as strong as Li Ke. This is a very critical issue.
So he planned to seize this opportunity.
"clear."
The businessman nodded, and the noble suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, the food our king has hoarded now is enough to support the kingdom until the next farming season, right?"
His question made the businessman think for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, yes. The grain purchased by His Majesty the King from Lordaeron has arrived at the port of Stormwind City and can be unloaded and moved tomorrow."
"very good."
The businessman glanced at the nobles sitting around and looked at each other.
Then he took back his feet, patted the businessman's face, and spoke with a smile on his face.
"Then tell me, how can we ensure that we get the most benefit when our king, who loves his people like a son, has food?"
The businessman was stunned for a moment, and sweat immediately appeared on his body.
