Hogia had never eaten hot pot, but he recognized the flame fruit. Looking at the pot full of poison, Hogia took a lot of courage to take a bite.
One hundred sheep, one hundred and twenty pounds of magic medicine, he felt that Reggie's sincerity was worth the price he paid, because in Tianxing Kingdom, the price of pesticides had exceeded gold.
Tianxing Kingdom has never recognized the status of Broken Snow Kingdom, and naturally has not received Reggie's pesticides. When their crops were suffering from insect pests, a black marketeer dedicated a can of pesticides to the agricultural officer. When he saw the large film
The pests died painfully in the struggle, and the excited agricultural officer immediately donated the remaining pesticides to Alfred the Great.
Emperor Alfred the Great rewarded the agricultural officer heavily, thinking that the Star Kingdom would be saved because of this, but when he saw the prices offered by the black market merchants, Emperor Alfred, who had never worried about wealth, fell into despair.
One pound of gold was exchanged for one pound of pesticide, and the weight of the clay pot had to be taken into account. Even if he spent all his financial resources, he could not save Tianxing Kingdom's agriculture from the brink of collapse.
He was still unwilling to bow to the Shattering Snow Kingdom, and he was even less likely to exchange the demon's head for pesticides. Although the Tianxing Kingdom had been fighting the demons, if the great Emperor Alfred went to seek rewards from a stateless lord, the whole continent would be afraid.
There is no joke more ridiculous than this.
This year's harvest was completely ruined, and the Star Kingdom pinned all its hopes on next year. The warlocks tried every means to expel the pests, but when they found a large number of insect pupae in the soil, they realized that these pests would not leave easily.
go.
Reggie's promotion strategy attracted the attention of the Star Kingdom, exchanging potions through trade. This had nothing to do with charity, but it did not mean that they were willing to give up the dignity of the First Empire. They did not come until they received Reggie's invitation.
Arrive at Sangro Port.
This trip did not disappoint Hosea. Under the influence of chili pepper, his tears never stopped. He didn't expect that Reggie was such a generous person, and he didn't expect that his hot pot was so delicious.
But what he never imagined was that Reggie's pesticides were far cheaper than he thought.
The cost of making one pound of high-purity dichlorovinyl phosphate is about ten silver coins, but Reggie’s pesticide is not high-purity dichlorvos. High-purity dichlorvos can cause serious damage to crops. The dichlorvos sold by Reggie has passed
Dilution, and the dilution ratio is one to five hundred.
Dichlorvos at this concentration still has a strong insecticidal effect, but if Hosea knew that more than 99% of the ingredients in these so-called magical potions were water, he would never be as moved as he is now.
Hosea couldn't wait to tell the news to Alfred the Great, but it was very troublesome to count more than 20,000 sheep, and he had to weigh them one by one to calculate the price. After enduring it for two days, Hosea
, finally got mad.
He came to the dock and yelled at his soldiers: "What are you doing? Does such a fat sheep need to be weighed? I can see at a glance that it weighs ninety pounds. And you, stop looking at those sheep."
His teeth are broken, do you want to kiss him? Go and check the potions and put them on the boat quickly."
Fed up with the low work efficiency, Hosea made a request to Reggie: "All sheep are priced at one hundred pounds, and each sheep is worth one gold coin. If you agree, I would like to settle the price today."
!”
Reggie readily accepted Hosea's request. In his pasture, there was almost no sheep that could reach a weight of one hundred pounds. When all the sheep and pesticides were loaded on the ship, Hosea still felt that he was still satisfied: "Your Excellency, the business between the big countries is only 20,000 sheep. This really makes me feel a little embarrassed. The fleet of the Star Kingdom once again appeared in Sangro Port. I hope to see more goods. Of course, there are More potions."
Reggie smiled and said: "Your ship has a very deep draft. If you add 10,000 more sheep, I'm afraid they will sink."
"You are a smart man, let me tell you the truth," Hosea sighed, "If it were not for the glory of the empire, I wouldn't even mind throwing these sheep into the sea. They are not what I want."
Reggie said: "If what you want is magic medicine, I can give you some more."
Hosea's smile froze instantly, and Reggie said something he shouldn't have said.
"The Star People don't need your charity."
"This is not charity." Reggie has long been accustomed to Hosea's overreaction. "This is friendship between us. Maybe in your eyes, I am still just a stateless lord worth mentioning, but I really I cherish this friendship very much.”
"For the sake of our friendship, are you willing to give us such a precious potion?"
Reggie nodded.
"Although I paid a high price, you actually earned nothing. A pound of magic medicine is worth more than one gold coin, right?"
Reggie ignored his conscience and nodded again.
Hosea's eyes turned red: "I will convey your thoughts to the emperor. I firmly believe that he will cherish this friendship very much."
"I hope you can convey it tactfully," Reggie said seriously, "I don't want the emperor to be embarrassed by this. We made a fair deal, that's all."
"You are destined to become a great king, even..." Hosea choked up, "May the stars in the sky bless you."
He saluted Reggie for the first time, which was the bow a courtier bowed to a king.
Reggie sent him to the ship. To be honest, he really fell in love with the arrogant and stubborn Sky Star man.
"Please come back!" Hosea waved vigorously on the boat, "I will come back soon and bring more gold coins. Business between big countries must be magnanimous!"
A large piece of wool flew onto Hosea's head, looking like falling snowflakes.
Reggie felt a little homesick. He missed the way snowflakes were chopped up by gravel.
Returning to the castle, he opened the map, and the mark of Chiluomen still remained in Tieshuan Port.
Reggie found Abu and asked him to re-determine the location of Chiluomen. After many days, he was worried that Abu's spell had failed.
But after repeated verification, Abu found that his totem was definitely not invalid and its positioning was very accurate.
Could it be that Chi Luomen opened his own wound and took out the totem?
Reggie was sure that he was not that strong-willed. In this era, bacterial infection meant the coming of death. He could not easily use a knife on his body, not to mention that Ima had sewn the totem very deep.
What is he doing in Tieshuan Port? Is he gathering overseas troops? Tieshuan Port not only sells sheep, but as far as Reggie knows, it is also the largest orc selling market. Perhaps Chi Luomen will assemble a powerful orc army.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and the New Year was coming soon. Reggie wanted to send a caravan to the Genting Kingdom to purchase some New Year expenses, but he was tired of eating mutton every day.
But Chiluomen suddenly took action. According to the map, he was approaching Sangro Port along the channel.
The war is about to begin. According to Reggie's estimation, Chiluomen's fleet will appear within sight in three days. Before that, in addition to preparing muskets and cannons, there is another difficult matter to deal with.
things.
There are more and more herdsmen at the port. They are all waiting to sell their animals to have a good year. Reggie has to find a way to drive them away. They should not die in this war.
