In the Kingdom of Higgs, a middle-aged businessman blew hot air into his hands, wrapped himself tightly in the fur from the grassland, looked up at the plaque above his head, and walked into the rice shop.
The guys inside hurriedly came over to greet him. The person who came to buy rice at this time must be a very, very rich businessman. After all, the current price of rice in the Higgs Kingdom is really not cheap.
As long as we wait until next year's harvest season and new grain is harvested, the price of rice will immediately drop. If we don't wait for urgent use, it is obviously more in our interests to consider purchasing grain next year.
However, since the beginning of autumn, the price of rice, which should have dropped, has become incomprehensible because of Alan Hill's crazy purchases. Now, these grains are really valuable, and there are countless loves.
When merchants from Landhill come to your door to make purchases, you really don’t know what they are thinking.
"How much grain does your store still have that can be sold... I want it all." As soon as the businessman came in, he said no nonsense and directly stated his purpose.
When the guy heard this, the smile on his face froze. There have been more and more of these Irish businessmen coming to "wreak havoc" recently. When they came, they said they would buy all the food. It was like a look.
Don't leave a way for others to survive.
But the visitors are guests, and this guy is not willing to offend these big merchants. After all, by this time next year, the price of food may have dropped, and he will still have to rely on these merchants to buy food.
So he put on a forced smile and explained: "Sir, you may not be aware that due to the sharp decrease in food reserves, our King has issued a purchase restriction order. You can only purchase up to 50 RMB at a time.
Buckets of grain..."
The calculation unit of barrel is actually the same as the calculation unit of dendrobium. They are both methods of measuring grain by volume, which is not accurate and scientific. However, because every country has its own weights and measures, this kind of thing can only be tolerated.
Now Ireland has begun to popularize new weights and measures. Various units of length and weight have suddenly become more convenient for those who use them. Coupled with the widespread application of new numbers, all the territories under Chris's rule are
Considerable progress has been made in computing.
"Can't you be accommodating?" The businessman pressed a gold coin on the coffee table next to him, and the golden light dazzled people so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.
"100 barrels, this is the biggest business we dare to do." The guy looked around, then put the gold coin in his bag and said, "The price will be as it was this morning. This is the biggest discount.
."
Everyone knows that there is no need to worry about selling the food now, and everyone is staring at this. Locals are driving up prices, outsiders are buying frantically, and the food stored in various rice stores is decreasing sharply. The Kingdom of Higgs has even begun to
Falling into a state of local shortage.
"Okay!" The businessman was also very talkative. He nodded and agreed to the deal. He stood up and said, "Please pack up all the grain. I will transport it away right away."
There was no other way. Although he felt very distressed, he could only take out the money bag from his pocket, put a pile of gold coins on the table, and let the other party inspect it carefully. Such a hundred barrels of grain would have been enough in previous years.
It was not worth 20 silver coins, but now it is worth 7 gold coins.
A full thirty-five-fold increase sounds incredible. Not only that, in addition to racking their brains to purchase a large amount of grain, Alan Hill is also frantically purchasing meat products from the grassland: not only
Fresh, live cattle and sheep, and even dried meat are required.
After all, the population of Eiland Hill is growing exponentially, and there has never been such an unnatural population expansion in history. Because of the popularization of modern medical technology bit by bit, the risk of childbirth is decreasing, and the birth rate remains high.
.
On the other side, Ireland has implemented a one-year "population subsidy welfare" policy. The principality stipulates that any baby born within this year can receive subsidies from the government: half a sheep, 200 kilograms of grain,
There are also 50 liters of goat milk or cow's milk.
At the same time, as long as children go to school to learn knowledge and sign an agreement to ensure that they will obey the government's employment distribution after completing their studies, they can receive free lunches and 100 kilograms of food as a school subsidy...
This is also the main reason why Alan Hill is so crazy about importing food. This is completely to support the continued industrialization of a country by giving money back. If Des hadn't been plundering his food everywhere like a cheat,
With the family's gold coins, Eiland Hill may not be able to develop to this level so quickly.
From the beginning to now, the millions of gold coins that Des sold off most of his property have been squandered. If it weren't for the products produced in the factory that recycled some of the gold coins, Des would have gone bankrupt.
Already.
At this moment, he could only rely on writing letters to his relatives and borrowing money to raise the gold coins needed for Ailan Hill. At first, he had to borrow 50,000 gold coins, but now he has even started to borrow 1,000 gold coins.
The shameless thing is that he has never paid back a penny of these borrowed gold coins...
In every rice shop in every corner of the Kingdom of Higgs, there are Ailan Hill merchants who are making crazy purchases. They almost don’t calculate the cost. As long as the other party dares to sell, they dare to pay for the food for sale.

…
In the bustling streets of Seris, everyone has a happy smile on their face. In the past, this kind of smile was hard to see, but now almost every person in Elland Hill is full of hope for the future, so smiles are the most common thing for them.
expression.
"Have you seen these people? In the past, only great magicians had such confident expressions." Walking on the street with his hands behind his back, Frunzberg found that he seemed to have returned to the magic city of Bellevue. He started from Bailey
Wei set out all the way east, and was finally surprised to find that in the easternmost magical forbidden land, there was a city as energetic as Bellivi.
This was truly a magical journey, which made the great magician feel very happy. Although he could not meditate for a month, the novelty of the experience still made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
"They actually use such an old-fashioned thing as a book to convey such basic knowledge." Looking through the book "Addition and Subtraction Within Ten for Primary School" bought from the corner bookstore, William suddenly felt like he had been deceived.
When he came out of Bellevue, William didn't carry many gold coins with him, because the Magic Empire did not use ordinary gold coins, but enchanted gold coin certificates. Obviously, such precious gold coins are not worth spending money in the mortal world.
Not going out because no one can give change...
"These mortals have actually developed a new set of numerical symbols... strange symbols, but... very interesting..." William walked beside Frunzberg, completely oblivious to what was going on outside the window and focused solely on
The appearance of reading the books of sages.
"Looking at things is the same as before, only looking at the surface." Frunzberg looked at the various seats placed at the entrance of the wood shop with interest, rubbing his hands on the smooth cut surfaces: "Walking along,
Did they change the wrong money?"
Hearing this question, William was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his teacher in shock. Along the way, no matter what he bought, there seemed to be no mistakes in changing money.
This is actually very funny to say. Whether it is the Kingdom of Higgs or the Empire of Arant, it is actually quite easy to change the wrong money. Especially when buying things from retail vendors.
Always be careful when doing so.
However, this time, after they entered Eiland Hill, they found that there were very few cases of misplaced money. This at least shows that the quality of civilians in Eiland Hill has surpassed that of other areas.
"It seems that these strange symbols... are indeed very useful innovations." This time, William finally paid attention to the elementary school textbook in his hand.
Frunzberg looked at the newly built buildings with bright and clean windows, and once again re-evaluated the country's productivity to a higher level. The glass used in those buildings seemed to be no longer cheap in the Magic Empire.
You know, in this world, generally transparent glass is actually very common, but those high-quality glasses with very good transparency are still luxury goods that the Magic Empire is willing to buy. After all, the archmages also want their rooms to be more transparent.
Some, allowing them to make better use of the sunlight outside the window.
Chris opened a glass factory in order to manufacture observation equipment such as telescopes. However, the profit of the glass factory could not only rely on military demand, so the factory soon began to mass-produce flat glass, which resulted in even greater profits.
This is the case in Ireland. Every day gold coins are earned back into the account like water, and then spent like water. It seems that every link is making money, but what many investors get is just a piece of "
Vouchers" are just used as proof of income.
These vouchers can be exchanged for production raw materials and various consumer goods, but only a small part can be converted into money. However, wise businessmen will not be willing to exchange these precious vouchers for gold coins, because these vouchers can be purchased
There are many things that gold coins cannot buy.
For example, machinery, cement, glass for factory expansion... With these things, they can continue to recruit troops to expand their factories, and ultimately earn more profits.
No one believes that Ailan Hill will collapse, because many big businessmen have already placed their bets on another possible situation. In their view, Ailan Hill will not become a rival to the Magic Empire.
It will only replace Arant and become the new spokesperson of the Mortal Empire.
