The Northland covers an area of approximately 100,000 square kilometers. To the north, there are insurmountable ice mountains and mountains, to the east is endless desert, and to the west are rolling hills. Only to the south can it communicate with the outside world.
However, along the border of more than 100 kilometers in the south, there are very limited roads that allow large-scale traffic. The foreign trade in the North is locked in one direction, and even several suppliers are locked.
Under this situation, every city in the North wants to open new trade channels. It is not like no one is colluding with the devil like Zhou Qingfeng, but they are unable to provide high-quality souls, making it difficult to do business.
Years of embarrassment have led to extreme poverty in the North, and the scale of the war is not large. In recent years, life has become increasingly miserable. Since you can't increase revenue, you have no choice but to reduce expenditure. Everyone wants to reduce the intensity of casualties and survive.
The Phils family has controlled the Northland for more than ten years, and they are not willing to fight for the throne and lose it in vain. If you can buy it with money, spend as much money as possible to get it done. This is always more economical than war.
Old Phils was already very ill, and young Phils knew that the city lords everywhere were ready to take action. He contacted the subordinates of other city lords - everyone, calm down, overthrowing me will not do any good; submit to me, and I will give it to you now
benefit.
"The bad luck lies in this 'benefits'." The night was dark and the cold wind was blowing. Rom sat in front of a bonfire and cursed irritably, "I bought war preparation supplies at a premium, but the merchants in the North refused to sell food and cloth at a low price.
Sold to Banshee Keep.
In order to buy off knights from all over the world, the Phils family purchased a large amount of local specialties at high prices. It already spent a lot of money, but when food prices rose, it couldn't buy enough food. If there wasn't enough food, the purchase plan would be enough.
It doesn’t make sense.”
Zhou Qingfeng set up a stove in the open space of the lumber camp, boiled the water and threw oatmeal and dried meat into it. When it was cooked into a pot of porridge, it would be dinner. He held a wooden spoon, stirred and said with a smile: "So you don't want to do it anymore.
?”
Seeing that the famous Victor Hugo, who didn't look like a lord, actually cooked porridge himself, Rom sighed beside him: "I can't do it now if I don't do it. Who do you think can do business in Banshee Castle?"
He is a powerful person in the city.
The people who sold me grain and cloth at high prices were either members of the Wizarding Group, or members of the City Lord's Guards, or even the Phils family themselves were doing this.
But now that food prices are too high, they are the ones who want to sell all kinds of magic materials to me at high prices. Otherwise, the deficit here will be too big, and no one will be willing to bear it."
When the porridge was cooked, Zhou Qingfeng took it out in a wooden bowl, sprinkled some salt and dried vegetables, and handed it out. Rom took it, put it to his mouth, blew on it, and sighed: "Sir Hugo, how do you eat this?"
Plant something?”
"Oatmeal jerky porridge, what's wrong with it?" Zhou Qingfeng chuckled twice. He needed to maintain the situation for the time being and was willing to spend money to settle the trouble. "As for what you said is not difficult to solve, the premium is the premium. I will sell it.
That’s it.”
Common people naturally feel good eating meat porridge, but dignified wizards will lose points after eating this. Rom took a bite of meat porridge and screamed when it was burned, but he thought it tasted pretty good and continued to eat while saying: "
If only things were that easy.
But my housekeeper went out to inquire today and found out that someone who was not afraid of death was really selling the war reserves of Banshee Castle, and they were selling them all. My housekeeper was so scared that he didn't dare to take over, but the seller had a lot of background, so he didn't buy it.
Not yet."
"Who sells food for war?"
"Little Phils's uncle, Tate Phils. This guy is in charge of the family finances but he is very greedy for money. As long as he can make money, he will do anything.
But now that the food has been bought for you, you will definitely not be able to bribe the knight leaders of other cities. Once something happens, Tate Phils will definitely shirk responsibility. The Phils family is just delaying the purchase plan, but
I'll be out of luck."
Zhou Qingfeng burst out laughing after hearing these words. Rom shouted angrily: "Sir Hugo, why are you laughing? If I die, I will definitely turn you in. Don't even think about continuing to secretly acquire the Banshee Castle.
Supplies are available.”
Roma's stern expression still made Zhou Qingfeng laugh, "I can exchange food for food, okay?"
What to exchange for what? Rom looked confused.
"You give me grains like wheat and oats, and I'll give you half the weight of... meat."
meat?
You are fooling me!
How can there be so much meat in the world?
Rom seemed to have been insulted by his intelligence and didn't believe it at all.
"Hey..., you don't have to look at me with such disdain." Zhou Qingfeng laughed and said: "I really give you meat. But it's not meat like cows and horses, but...
,worm meat.”
Say it again, what kind of meat?
Rom's anger turned into glare, curiosity and suspicion.
"Forget it, don't worry about the meat. I promise you can eat it." Zhou Qingfeng simply didn't bother to explain and just patted Rom on the shoulder, "Believe me, I won't cheat you. If the transaction continues, you will also have food.
It’s great to have a business relationship!”
Roma was dubious and was coaxed into temporarily staying in a lumber camp for a night.
Zhou Qingfeng also returned to his room and opened the dimensional passage leading to the abyss. He could now contact two evil beings, which doubled the source of goods. His best friend was the succubus Medici.
In the grocery store in the abyss, Medeisi glared at Zhou Qingfeng and was very unhappy. The succubus failed to help when it attacked the evil insect descendants last time, and it even lost its temper afterwards...
Firstly, he was angry that Zhou Qingfeng had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked. Secondly, he was angry that Zhou Qingfeng actually contacted the agent in Purgatory and intervened in a 'green crystal' business.
Those are green crystals, each one is extremely precious!
Although it was not that she had never obtained green crystal from Zhou Qingfeng, she was furious at the thought of such a big deal being given to her rival. When she saw Zhou Qingfeng again, she asked coldly: "Look for me.
do what?"
The succubus had a temper, so Zhou Qingfeng had to coax him with a smile, "Um... didn't you ask your servant to do some ecological breeding income-generating projects last time? Look, it's been a month, there should be a third
Is it a harvest?"
The phrase 'ecological breeding' made Succubus' expression change drastically, and she even glared at Zhou Qingfeng fiercely. The name of this project sounds good and seems promising, but the truth is actually a bit..., even
Even the demons feel uncomfortable.
"I'll go ask." The succubus waved her hand to cut off the contact, and then called her servant in the main material world.
Thousands of kilometers away in the south, Archbishop Dimitri of Whigburg was resting when he was suddenly woken up by Medeisi, "My respected master, please give me your orders."
"How did that thing go last time?" the succubus asked indifferently. It was unwilling to mention the words 'ecological breeding'.
"Master, the farm tools you sent are very useful. We will cultivate more land this year..." Dimitri answered the question. The succubus forcibly interrupted: "I'm not asking you about growing food.
It’s about raising insects.”
Ah..., raising insects - Dimitri hesitated a little.
"It's not well raised, is it?" The succubus was faintly angry. It was only slightly dissatisfied with Zhou Qingfeng and Feng Xiaoyu, but it was not so good-looking toward other servants.
The archbishop said quickly: "No, no, no, master. You misunderstood. In fact, the thing you ordered to raise bugs went very well. It's just that there are a lot of bugs. I don't know what exactly you want them to do?"
do what?
The succubus thought to herself unhappily: "How do I know what that bastard wants insects for? Especially the way he raises them is so disgusting."
