Chapter 149 Prices are rising (810)

Chi Nan did not continue to stay at the front line, but ran away early on the pretext of going back to prepare pea cannons and pneumatic cannons.

Those nobles are also very smart. Since there is no way to buy pneumatic cannons, there will always be no problem with pea cannons. So a group of people used various means to send orders to Hongsha Ridge through different channels.

These orders were faster than my own speed. When I returned to my territory, I found that the orders had piled up like a hill. Hermila struggled in this hill and looked at herself with eyes full of resentment.

In the end, Chi Nan had no choice but to escape alone. Moreover, more and more nobles are coming to their territory nowadays. Even if the road into Hongsha Ridge is difficult, there are always nobles who want to come in and take a look. My own small castle is becoming increasingly insufficient. It seems that the planning of Hongsha City really needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Lord, there is another matter now. I don't know if it will affect us. You can see for yourself."

Hermila handed a piece of information to Chi Nan angrily, and Chi Nan took it sheepishly. When he saw it, his eyes widened. "Is this the market's self-regulation? Prices are rising anyway."

Hermila glared at him: "During war, it is normal for the prices of various materials to increase. Although the magnitude is large this time, it also shows that the impact of the Wild Orc disaster has been too great. This is not what I want you to see. But something like these.”

Hermila leaned against Chi Nan and pointed on the form. Chi Nan was a little absent-minded because the softness on Hermila's chest touched him. Yes, Chi Nan felt it, he was sure. Are women in this world so open-minded? They don't even care about this. What Chi Nan didn't notice was that Hermila's face was also a little red.

Carefully stepping back a little, a feeling of loss flashed through both of their hearts.

"Lord, are you listening to me?" Hermila frowned, seemingly impatient.

"Listen, of course I'm listening. Let's take a look, oh my god, why is it so expensive!"

Chi Nan was surprised to find that many things began to increase in price crazily at this time, the most exaggerated one being pack horses.

"Lord, isn't this because your pneumatic cannon is so effective? Many nobles are queuing up to buy it. But they won't be able to buy the pneumatic cannon for a while because they are not qualified to buy it. So they will Pay attention to other things that can be used with the pneumatic cannon, the most precious one is the pack horse. "

The draft horse was originally just a tool used to pull goods. Because of its strength and endurance, it attracted people's attention. But this thing runs too slowly and is not flexible enough, so it is impossible to use it as a mount.

But things are different now. The packhorse is one of the few creatures that can freely drive the pneumatic cannon around, and the speed is not too slow. Therefore, the status of the packhorse suddenly changed from logistics to special forces, and the improvement was not the slightest.

The price of this pack horse has been rising again and again due to the crazy buying by a large number of nobles. How long has passed since the previous battle, the price of the pack horse has actually been increased by more than ten times.

And it seems that the price will continue to increase. "Lord, I heard that our territory also needs to purchase some draft horses. If this continues, I have no way of predicting what the final price will be."

Chi Nan was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter, so many gold coins have to be spent anyway, even if the price is inflated, I will accept it. At the worst, we will just breed ourselves in the future."

Hermila shook her head: "That's not that easy. If packhorses were easy to reproduce, they wouldn't have such high prices now. And Lord, the flour and pea cannon we sell, the price is privately It’s also growing like crazy. Should we raise the prices of these things?”

Chi Nan thought for a while and then shook his head and said: "No, these are military supplies, and we have already agreed with them before that there is no need to increase the price. I don't want to make too much on this, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”

Suddenly, Chi Nan said: "But our iron bark tree is no longer small. The red sand steel can be sold, and the price of these metals can be increased appropriately. After all, aren't these very necessary items?" Chi Nan planned to start on a small scale. Sell ​​some, after all, you have to advertise yourself first.

"Also, the price of slaves has been rising recently. Should we come forward to explain it?"

"Slave? What does this have to do with us? Why do we need to come forward?"

Hermila rolled her eyelids: "It's not what you said. Population can be used instead of gold coins. As a result, those nobles went around collecting population. Originally they were refugees within Remas, but since the performance of the pneumatic cannon was spread, They seem to be crazy. Now they are just buying slaves to make the difference with us."

"What else do they want to do?" Chi Nan never expected this.

"There are also some nobles who are using their power to arrest bandits from other provinces, and even use various means to bring some civilians from the mainland and trade them to us as refugees."

Chi Nan didn't expect that these nobles would be so crazy and would give up any face for gold coins. Perhaps, it is also because of the pneumatic cannon that these people think that the wild beasts will not be crazy for much longer.

After all, this kind of transaction was supposed to end when Remas was restored, and then it would stop. "Forget it, don't worry about them. In short, let them figure it out. It's not our own doing anyway. When the population increases, there will be more ways to make it back." Population is the most important resource after all.

"But the problem is that we still have to sell a lot of flour. The population is increasing, and our flour is almost not enough."

Chi Nan frowned: "This problem will be solved soon. When I make a chassis wood with very high universality, I can plant any plants on it. Well, how is our green-headed scorpion being handled."

Hemi La flipped through the booklet in her hand: "It has been sent out, and it is expected to take more than a month to be sent to the third princess." Hemi La is still very concerned about this.

"Will it take so long?" Chi Nan frowned a little. He originally wanted to sell it, but now he is not short of money, so Chi Nan wants to send it to Sophia and let Sophia help him change it to bronze-level plants. At this moment, at the bronze level, Chi Nan has already touched the edge faintly.
