In the North, January this year is colder than in previous years, but the snow has not fallen much, so it may be another disaster year.

In the Charles family's copycat White House, the coriander that helped Charles manage the family business was stamped on a large stack of parchment paper more than one meter high.

These parchments are all grain pickup vouchers for the Makkaden family, but the pickup date is May this year.

Since the end of last year, with the influence of news that the drought this year is very likely to intensify and the southern elves are unable to provide food exports, the growth of grain prices has accelerated again.

At the end of last year, the nobles of all sizes and nobles engaged in speculative grain business in the north cleared the previously obtained Meccaden family grain pickup coupons to the prince of the Hohen Kingdom in the south. The prospects for the next year are unclear, and they are not panicked if they have grain in their hands.

Later, some nobles wanted to make a small amount from the Meccaden family, but at this time Coriander told them that because it was cold and difficult to transport, otherwise everyone would pay the Meccaden family's account in the Harvest Temple at the current price of grain, and then use the remittance voucher to get the corresponding amount of grain pickup coupons, but the pickup time would be April.

As soon as those nobles gathered, the current food price was four to five times that of the same period last year, and it is expected that by April, it will rise to more than ten times that of the same period last year. Just in and out, the profit will be very objective.

Some nobles believed that the McGarden family was tearing down the east wall and using the proceeds of picking up the coupons in April to make up for the deficit of picking up the coupons in February.

But in this way, the deficit will become bigger and bigger like a snowball, and maybe the McGarden family will fall into this pit and fall to death.

But not many people were willing to care about the life and death of the McGarden family. In addition to Charles' grandfather, Duke Redkin, and Auston I and Linda, who were fully accepting the victims, all the northern nobles who had some spare money, and even the southern nobles who came to make some money from the south, all paid money to the McGarden family's account in the Harvest Temple.

As a result, the Harvest Temple Church, which had been in the middle of two or three hundred years, was crowded with carriages for a while. The great nobles had stewards, while the little nobles took action in person. Even many civilian businessmen were not afraid of the cold and transported boxes of gold coins over.

The priests at all levels of the Harvest Temple, who had been neglected for many years, were confused. Although they had received a notice from the Pope before, they were still a little busy in the face of so many people who came to give money to the Meccaden family.

At this time, the speculative market in the entire Northland was almost in chaos. In the end, even a few ordinary people and more than a dozen families gathered money to sell a few Meccaden family grain pickup coupons. They were not for speculation, but just wanted to add a guarantee for their families in the summer of the past.

What the nobles thought more about was how to bite a bite of meat from the McGarden family or sniff it on it to suck blood.

When the McGarden family cannot pay for food, if the collection voucher is converted into long-term bonds, it is still an excellent investment in the medium and long term based on the profitability of the McGarden family in previous years.

If you can invest in some industries of the McGarden family - such as Baiyu Meat Workshop - in the form of debt-to-equity conversion, it will be a good thing that makes people laugh so hard that their chins fall off.

Those with strength and ambitions are trying to get involved in the wool trade between Charles and Linda. This year, the McGarden family almost took over the wool purchases on the prairie and shocked many people.

Some well-informed people think further, and they aim to target the Peace Mall invested by Charles, which is about to start construction in Greentown. If debt can be converted into equity by then, it will undoubtedly have a family business that has been around for hundreds or thousands of years for the family.

There were quite a few people who had various ideas, so they all sent money to the Meccaden family's accounts.

This caught Charles off guard. After listening to Diana's analysis, Mira fainted on the spot. Meliti asked Charles if he wanted to hide on the island in their territory.

When Mira woke up, she heard that Charles had refused, but the subsequent delivery of the coupon was delayed until May, and the pickup location was changed to various Harvest Temples and churches, so she fainted again.

Because in February and a few months later, the Meccaden family had to provide enough food to feed all the Northland people (excluding slaves) for a month.

Because the spread of information in this world was not fast, when Charles went to Greentown at the end of January, the merchants were shocked by the northern nobles who had summarized information from all over the country.

"Earl of McGarden is crazy!" This is the consensus reached by everyone.

The total amount of food in the world was consumed before harvest. Even if someone was willing to sell food to the Meccaden family, the amount of commercial food in the grain market at that time might not be able to meet his needs. However, based on the current situation, no one was willing to sell precious food to fill the gap.

The first person who vomited blood in this storm was Conradin.

In order to negotiate with Charles, he sent people to the north to purchase a large number of grain pickup coupons. His order was to purchase as much as there is on the market.

But the fake lottery tickets that appeared in the lottery market then made him beat him up. The fake special prize lottery tickets that appeared one after another made him spit out all the proceeds of selling lottery tickets while earning a lot of reputation, and even paid a little money. For this reason, he lost the energy to take care of the grain pickup coupons.

Just as Conradin looked at the pile of lottery tickets in front of him that he could not tell the truth or false, the hands he sent to the north came from the hands of the people he had sent to the north that made him vomit blood.

There are regional contradictions and other things in this world, and there are always some disagreements between the north and south sides of the country.

No matter how many nobles in the Northland cheated on the Meccaden family, in their eyes, they were just internal conflicts in the Northland. Moreover, the practice of grain collection and convertible bonds would not force the Meccaden family to death, but just allowed them to make a lot of money. After passing this level, it would be fine.

But now a sensational "Southern Landlord" is coming to the north to deal with Charles, and it is said that the rising "Wool Queen" Linda, the youngest and promising king of the North, and Duke Redkin, who has a high chance to seize the throne, ordered this guy to be killed. Barnett I, who has a beautiful beard, and Princess Rose, who is about to become the queen, simply took the lead in the action, which immediately caused Conradin's men who purchased grain pickup coupons to be surrounded by the vast ocean of the north, from feudal aristocrats to civilian merchants.

The people sent by Conradin purchased a large number of grain pickup coupons from the nobles as he directed him. As a result, the sellers who came to find them recently continued to sell the grain pickup coupons they exchanged for gold coins and then sold them to them. These sellers generously agreed that Conradin's people wrote IOUs in the name of Conradin.

When those people realize something is wrong, Conradin has to pay a total of IOUs that he will be hurt.

The second person who wants to vomit blood in this storm is Aunt Coriander. She needs to stamp the coupons manually. At this step, neither Charles nor Coriander dares to hand over to others. Not to mention Afu or Aunt Pomegranate, even Hongye cannot do it.

Seeing the grain pickup coupons that were constantly moving from the parchment press to his desktop, Cilantro, who kept repeating the stamping movements all day long, felt that her arm had been trained to death by stamping, and she could kill Charles with one punch.

Fortunately, the dragon soon sent an automatic stamping machine that she only operated, which greatly reduced her workload.

Compared to Coriander, which can only handle problems alone, the other five brokers who come to manage the Meccaden family industry together are much easier because they can send additional people to sign and stamp the grain pickup voucher.

The most convenient one is the priest brokers of the three temples. They only need to consecrate a box of grain pickup coupons in the end and attach the anti-counterfeiting power.

During this crazy period, countless gold coins flowed into the accounts of the Meccaden family in the Harvest Temple like a tide. The Harvest Temple summarized the remittance data and handed it to the white house. Then the freshly baked fixed-quota grain pickup vouchers were continuously transported to the Harvest Temple churches everywhere and handed them to those who had transferred the money.

The only thing that is sure to make a profit in this storm is the Temple of Harvest. The handling fee for the transfer of money across the temple is worth their years of income, not to mention the series of good news behind the scenes. The priests of the Temple of Harvest have never left their faces.

As time goes by, February of the first grain pickup coupon delivery is coming, and the speculative market begins to quickly become deserted.

The people in the north turned their attention to the Hoheng Kingdom, which holds almost all the food pickup coupons for February. Everyone was watching. The delivery of this period of grain will become an important reference for their follow-up actions.

On the day Charles arrived at Greentown, a piece of news spread throughout the North at a speed that was obviously visible to someone who had ulterior motives.
