All the grain merchants were silent after hearing this. If this situation continues, the grain business will really not be optimistic.
Changing careers may be the general trend.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the villa. Soon, a male servant ran in and whispered to Hiltu: "Sir, the Governor is here."
"What?!" Hiltu and the grain merchants were all shocked. They stood up in a hurry and planned to go to greet him.
Who is the leader of the White Eagle Leader?
Saul, Pompeii? No, that is just a knight with outstanding military strength, the Knight of Pompeii.
Lelouch, Bonaparte? No, that is a consul with outstanding ability, but more like an executor, Mr. Mayor.
There are many big figures in the White Eagle Territory, but none of them can compare to one person.
Luther, Pompeii.
This is the person who dominates everything.
Luther and Pompeii represented the will of the White Eagle Emblem, leading the construction of the entire White Eagle Territory, and even protecting their lives.
It was precisely because they hid under the resounding name of the White Eagle Emblem that they were able to avoid being massacred by the New Party.
The merchants were sincerely grateful for the white eagle coat of arms and were deeply in awe of it.
"Gentlemen, I heard that you are having a meeting, do you mind if I come to observe?" When the businessmen were about to go out to greet them, Luther had already walked in with Lelouch.
The manservant would not be so stupid as to ask Governor White Eagle to wait outside the door.
You come in first and I will inform you later.
The grain merchants were surprised when they heard this. They knew that the auditor must be fake. Governor White Eagle, the person who dominated everything, must have some purpose.
Hiltu smiled and bowed, and said: "Mr. Governor, you are joking. If you are interested in the current food issues in the White Eagle Territory, then please be sure to lead this meeting."
"Yes, you have the final say."
Other grain merchants also said this.
At this juncture, they are having a headache, and they wish Luther Pompeo would intervene in this matter. Because this Governor-General has a very good reputation.
I have never heard of anyone losing money when doing business with this Governor.
"Haha, since you all said that, I won't be polite." Luther chuckled and sat in Hilto's seat. Lelouch sat next to Luther, and the other grain merchants scattered around.
Open and sit down.
"Would you like some coffee?" Hiltu asked humbly.
"Give me a glass of water." Luther said, then turned to Lelouch and asked: "Where are you Lelouch?"
"I want a cup of coffee with more sugar." Lelouch said.
"Okay." Mr. Hiltu nodded and told the maid to do the work. After a while, Luther's boiled water came up first. Luther took a sip of boiled water, and then said to the merchants with a smile: "For the current price of food,
Regarding the problem, I only have one idea: no one should purchase grain."
Lelouch shrugged, said thank you to the maid who brought the coffee, and then drank the coffee happily, making the maid extremely excited.
Mr. Mayor is really gentle.
The grain merchants were shocked.
What does this master plan to do?
Our plan is to purchase grain at 50% of last year's price and then find a way to digest this batch of grain. This is a helpless move.
Some of us are planning to change careers.
But this Mr. Dominator is even more vicious.
Let's not buy grain. Is this going to make all farmers bankrupt? No, farmers will never go bankrupt.
Because they have fields, even if no one buys the grain, they can still fill their bellies and feed their children. There is only one kind of person who will go bankrupt.
Big farmer.
"Mr. Master, does he want to eliminate all the large farmers in the White Eagle Territory?" I have to admit that the grain merchants are all clever, and they guessed Luther's purpose in an instant.
Luther looked at the expressions of these people and knew that they had guessed it.
Luther chuckled and said: "You guessed it right, I am very dissatisfied with the current large farmers and the serfdom system. Just like I treat common people and nobles equally, I am full of sympathy for the serfs.
As human beings, why do they have to live like livestock and be exploited by large farmers? I want to change their destiny. With this food harvest, I will make the large farmers panic and sell their fields and serfs.
I will take the opportunity to abolish the serf system, gather those serfs, and let the officials of the city hall help the serfs become independent and become workers."
"Not just serfs, I have always believed that land business is the lowest level of business. The truly profitable business is manufacturing. There may be the Internet in the future, but you definitely don't understand this. So I will take advantage of this great harvest to let
Many agricultural people have turned into industrial people, vigorously developing factories and developing non-land businesses."
"And the agricultural plan I made is not just that."
Luther paused here to give the grain merchants time to digest the information.
The grain merchants were surprised.
They had guessed that Luther's purpose was to bankrupt the large farmers, but they did not expect that Luther's plan was so far-reaching.
Forced large farmers to sell their fields and serfs.
And took the opportunity to abolish serfdom.
Reduce the agricultural population and increase the industrial population.
Taking the opportunity to develop the industry in the White Eagle Territory is indeed a great blueprint.
"Just like what the Mr. Master said, the land business is destined to be unprofitable in the future. It seems that most of us will change careers. If we don't change careers, we will be eliminated by the world."
The grain merchants sighed in their hearts.
At this time, Luther added another fire.
"My next plan is to further increase the output of farmland, destroy the small farmer economy, and destroy the small farmer mentality. The first step is to genetically modify wheat. Just like nobles, beautiful people are born from beautiful people.
Most of the children are beautiful. I plan to select wheat varieties, conduct hybridization, and select higher-yielding wheat seeds so that the wheat yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms or even more."
"The second step is an upgraded version of the manure fertilizer field plan. I plan to have the wizards create an inorganic nutrient to provide nutrients to crops. I call it chemical fertilizer."
"I have asked the city hall to set up a special institution to study these two things. The research will be done the year after tomorrow, maybe next year. As you know, wizards are a kind of magical people."
"With these two methods, the wheat yield per mu may reach 700 to 800 kilograms. You should also be able to realize what that means."
