Forty-Seven New Spokespersons
In the Higgs Kingdom, a middle-aged businessman blew hot air into his hands, wrapped the fur from the grassland tightly, looked up at the plaque above his head, and walked into the rice shop.
The guys inside hurriedly came over to greet them. Those who came to buy rice at this time must be very, very rich businessmen. 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 drop immediately. If we don't wait for it in a hurry, it is obviously better to consider purchasing grain next year, which is more in line with our interests.
However, since the beginning of autumn, the price of rice, which should have fallen, has become incomprehensible because of Ailan Hill's crazy acquisitions. Now, these grains are really worth a lot of money, and there are countless merchants from Ailan Hill who come to buy it, people really don't know what the other party is thinking.
"How much food does your store have to sell... I'll take it all." As soon as the businessman entered the door, he didn't say nonsense, and directly stated his purpose.
As soon as the guy heard this, the smile on his face stiffened. There are more and more Alan Hill merchants who come to "smash the market" recently. They say that they want to buy all the food. Don't leave the appearance of life for others.
But the visitor is a guest, and this guy is not willing to offend these big businessmen. After all, at this time next year, the price of grain may fall, and I still have to rely on these businessmen who buy grain to eat.
So he squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile and explained: "Sir, you may not know very well, because of the sharp decrease in food reserves, our King has issued a purchase restriction order, you can only purchase 50 at most at a time. Buckets of food..."
The calculation unit of barrel is actually the same as the calculation unit of Dendrobium. It is a method of measuring grain by volume, which is neither accurate nor scientific. However, because each country has its own weights and measures, such a thing can only be endured.
Now Ailan Hill has begun to popularize new weights and measures, various units of length and units of weight, which are all at once more convenient for those who use them. Combined with the widespread use of new numbers, all of Chris's territories have made great strides in computing.
"Can't you be accommodating?" The businessman pressed a gold coin on the coffee table beside him, and the golden light shone so hard that people couldn't open their eyes.
"100 barrels, this is the biggest business we dare to do." The guy looked around before pocketing the gold coin and said, "The price is the same as this morning, this is the biggest discount. ."
Everyone knows that there is no need to worry about selling food now, and everyone is staring at this piece. Locals are driving up prices, non-locals are frantically snapping up, the food hoarding by various rice shops is decreasing sharply, and the Higgs Kingdom has even begun to fall into a state of partial shortage.
"Okay!" The businessman was also very talkative, nodded and agreed to the deal. He stood up and said, "Then trouble you to pack all this food, I'll take it away soon."
There was no way, although he was very distressed, he could only take out the purse from his pocket and put a stack of gold coins on the table for the other party to examine carefully. Such a hundred barrels of grain might not even be worth 20 silver coins in previous years, but now it is as expensive as 7 gold coins.
A full thirty-five-fold increase sounds incredible. Not only that, in addition to racking their brains to buy a lot of grain, Ailan Hill is also frantically buying meat products from the grasslands: not only fresh, live cattle and sheep, but even dried meat.
After all, the population of Ailan Hill is growing exponentially, and there has never been such a population expansion that does not conform to the laws of nature in history. Because of the popularization of modern medical technology a little bit, the risk of fertility is decreasing, and the birth rate remains high.
On the other hand, Ireland Hill implemented a one-year "population subsidy welfare" policy,
The Principality stipulates that all babies born within this year can receive government subsidies: half a sheep, 200 kilograms of grain, and 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 obey the government's employment distribution after graduation, they can get free lunch and 100 kilograms of food subsidies for school administration...
This is also the main reason why Ailan Hill is so crazy about importing food, which is completely to support the continuous industrialization of a country by subsidizing money. If it wasn't for Des scavenging for his family's gold coins everywhere, Alan Hill might not have been able to develop to this level so quickly.
From the beginning to the present, the million gold coins that Des sold for most of his property have been squandered almost long ago. If the products produced in the factory hadn’t recovered some of the gold coins, Des would have gone bankrupt long ago. .
At this moment, he can only rely on writing letters to his relatives and borrowing to raise the gold coins that Alan Hill needs. At first, he had to borrow 50,000 gold coins with one mouth, and now he has even started to borrow 1,000 gold coins - shameless, he has never paid back a penny of these borrowed gold coins...
In every rice shop in every corner of the Higgs Kingdom, merchants from Alan Hill are frantically seeking purchases. They hardly calculate the price. As long as the other party dares to sell it, they dare to pay for the food they sell.
...
On the bustling streets of Seris, everyone had a happy smile on their faces. This kind of smile was rarely seen in the past, but now almost every Irishman is full of hope for the future, so a smile is their most common expression.
"Have you seen these people? In the past, only the great magician had such a confident expression." Walking down the street with his hands behind his back, Frenzberg found that he seemed to have returned to the holy city of magic, Bellevue. He started from Bellevue all the way east, and in the end, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a city as energetic as Bellevue in the magic forbidden area in the east.
It was a truly magical journey, which made the great magician very happy. Although he couldn't meditate for a month in a row, the novel feeling of insight still made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
"They actually use such old-fashioned things as books to convey such basic knowledge." Looking at a book "Addition and Subtraction within 10 in Primary School" bought at the corner bookstore, William suddenly felt deceived.
Coming out of Bellevue, William didn't carry much gold coins, because the magic empire did not use ordinary gold coins, but enchanted gold coins. Obviously, this kind of precious thing cannot be spent in the mortal world, because no one can make change...
"These mortals have actually developed a new set of digital symbols...strange symbols, but...interesting..." William walked by Frenzberg's side, ignoring what was going on outside the window. The appearance of reading the book of sages.
"Looking at things is the same as before, only looking at the surface." Frenzberg looked at the various seats at the door of the wood shop with interest, and rubbed his hands on the smooth cut surfaces: "All the way, Did they find the wrong money?"
Hearing this question, William was stunned for a moment, then looked at his teacher in shock. Along the way, no matter what he bought, there seemed to be no mistakes in finding money.
It's actually quite funny to say that, in the Higgs Kingdom or the Arrant Empire, it's actually quite easy to find the wrong money. Be careful especially when buying from that kind of retail hawker.
However, this time, after they entered Ireland Hill, they found that there were very few cases of finding the wrong money. This at least shows that in Ireland Hill, the quality of civilians has surpassed other areas.
"It seems that these strange symbols... are indeed useful innovations." This time, William finally paid attention to the textbook used by the elementary school.
Frenzberg's reassessment of the country's productivity has taken it up a notch once again as he looks at the brightly lit buildings that are emerging. The glass used on those buildings seems not to be cheap in the Magic Empire anymore.
You must know that in this world, glass with general transparency is actually very common, but those high-quality glass with very good transparency are still luxury goods that magic empires are willing to buy. After all, the archmages also want their rooms to be more transparent, so that they can make better use of the sunlight outside the window.
Chris opened the glass factory in order to manufacture observation equipment such as telescopes. However, the profit of the glass factory cannot depend only on military demand, so soon the factory began to mass-produce flat glass, which turned out to be even more profitable.
That's how Alan Hill is. Every day, the gold coins are earned back into the account, and then they are spent like water. It seems that every link is making money, but many investors only get "vouchers" as income certificates.
These vouchers can be exchanged for production raw materials and various consumer goods, but only a small part can be exchanged for money. But sensible merchants would not be willing to exchange these precious vouchers for gold coins, because these vouchers can buy many things that gold coins cannot.
For example - machinery, cement, glass for expanding factories... With these things, they can continue to recruit troops to expand their factories, and finally make more profits.
No one believed that Ireland Hill would collapse, because many big businessmen had already bet on another possible situation. In their opinion, Alan Hill will not become the opponent of the Magic Empire, but will only replace Arlant as the new spokesperson of the Mortal Empire.
