At nine o'clock in the morning on June 5, Xingyu 1174, a group of soldiers started from the Noble Castle and dispersed to Jiyu Town and the refugee area outside Jiyu Town.

These soldiers came to various area bulletin boards, and then they posted documents on the bulletin boards, and then loudly lectured about the food shortage in Jiyu Town, so the top chief of Jiyu Town decided to reduce food payment for labor and increase food prices by 50%. Of course,

The benefits for military dependents remain unchanged, and young and strong individuals are encouraged to join the military enthusiastically.

At the same time, it also explains why the official raised the price of food. It turns out that the announcement records that the fishing fleet in Liushuiyu Village encountered a storm, which caused heavy losses to the entire fleet, so the food price increased.

Of course, the official explanation was that Yan Tielong and his friends were trying to increase the value of their food. But the real situation was that not only did the fleet not have any accidents, but they also had a bumper harvest.

The soldiers loudly announced the announcement, attracting a large number of people around to watch. After the soldiers shouted three times, they left. This also led to the illiterate people not knowing what happened, so they asked those literate people what happened when they arrived.

When the people at the bottom who rely on hard work to obtain food learn that they used to work hard for a day to feed a family of three, but now they only feed one person, this directly arouses their extreme dissatisfaction, and some even grumpy people want the official to give them an explanation.

, after all, these people only want to have enough food for themselves and their families, and they don’t bother to care about anything else.

But when these dissatisfied people gathered in the noble castle, they saw heavily armed soldiers, so they became timid. After all, they didn't want to die, and as long as they saved a little food, they wouldn't starve to death.

When the captain of the Flame Legion guarding the noble castle saw someone really coming to cause trouble, he directly followed the legion commander's order to show his killing intent. After calming down the refugees, he asked the soldiers to shout loudly the slogan "Join the army if you want good benefits."

When those refugees who were preparing to cause trouble heard the slogans of the Flame Legion, some of them really understood what they were thinking, so they all joined the militia.

Soon more and more people learned that becoming a soldier would provide enough food for their families, so more and more refugees joined the army.

Of course, Yanmorag and the forces behind them learned that the government was raising food prices and recruiting troops. They were very confused about what the officials were going to do. However, they believed that the official increase in food prices would be more effective for them to take over Jiyu Town, so they sent people to urge them to trade with them.

Someone brought the goods over.

In the Red Leaf Tavern, Yan Tielong communicated with Mai Gulag in the name of Daglas about yesterday's black market transaction.

"Your Excellency Daglas, I heard that your Excellency is very short of food now. Is it true?"

When Yan Tielong heard Maigulag's inquiry, he hesitated and told the other person that the current person in charge of Jiyu Town was indeed very short of food. He also told the other person that the adult was now buying fish and meat worth 120,000 gold coins at twice the current market price.

of grain, and stated that he was not a grain merchant, otherwise he would sell all of it.

When Maigulage heard Daglas tell about the purchase of grain worth up to 120,000 gold coins, he counted in his heart and found that all the food he had stored could be sold at once, but he still felt that the price of food was a bit low.

Yan Tielong was a little confused when he saw Maigulage's serious thinking expression, so he asked: "Your Excellency Maigulage, didn't your grain sell yesterday?".

After hearing Daglas' inquiry, Maigulage thought for a moment and told Yan Tielong that the price offered to him yesterday by the Jide Bangkok Lager was equal to the price of fish and meat today, so he only reached an agreement of nearly 500 tons of wheat, and he wanted to wait and see for a while.

Let’s see if the price can be increased. After all, the official fishing fleet is in trouble and Mai Luocheng has not solved it yet. He believes that the price of wheat will continue to increase.

Yan Tielong could understand Maigulage's typical businessman's idea of ​​maximizing profits, but from the official standpoint of Jiyu Town, he had to deceive the other party, so he strongly agreed that Maigulage should take a closer look, and at the same time told about himself in an envious tone

If there was food, he would triple it and sell it to make a huge profit.

Maigulage heard that Daglas agreed with him to continue to hold wheat, so he planned to raise the price with Jide Bangula with six other grain masters. If the other party was not even as good as the official price, he planned to even raise the price of the previous five hundred tons.

They want to tear up the wheat agreement. After all, in the eyes of their businessmen, profit is everything.

In the afternoon, Yan Tielong asked the hired laborers to carry the iron-headed wooden guns and iron-headed arrows into the carriage. After all, yesterday Yan Tielong had received a deposit of synthetic gemstones worth 10,000 gold coins from Jide Bangkula.

Of course, Yan Tielong reached an arms agreement with Jide Bangkok in three transactions. In fact, Yan Tielong was worried that one attack would lead to the other party using force to rob it without paying.

The content of the first transaction was six thousand iron-tipped spears and one thousand baskets of iron-tipped arrows. "One basket is worth thirty arrows." Of course, these weapons were refurbished equipment worth 35,000 gold coins. "The normal value is 1/

10》.

Soon Yan Tielong led 300 soldiers from the Lieyan Legion in disguise to the trading location. Yan Tielong did not expect that there was no one at the trading location yet. Both parties thought that the other party was trying to recruit people from Jide Bangkok. As a result, both parties discovered that there was something wrong with the code and immediately

Get into position.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, they heard: "Stop!".

In response to the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man, both sides stopped to attack, but both sides were wary of the other. After all, neither side dared to entrust their own safety to the other.

The middle-aged man who suddenly appeared was relieved to see that there was no bloodshed between the two parties. After all, once there was bloodshed between the two parties, it is very likely that the transaction between their young master and both parties would be terminated, which would affect the acceptance of the Jiyu Town plan.

That was very bad, so he showed up to prevent the conflict between the two parties.

Yan Tielong, supported by six bodyguards, came to ask who the middle-aged man was. Of course, Yan Tielong's strength did not require bodyguards, but as a businessman, he must behave like a businessman, so he was closely guarded by six bodyguards.

At the same time, a young man and an old man came out of the armed team on the other side, and the old man's looming strong aura told Yan Tielong that the other party was a powerful master. No wonder the young man only needed the old man to protect him; of course, the young man also asked who the other party was.

.

The middle-aged man introduced to the leaders of the two forces: "My name is Tulishid, I am Jide Bangkula, I am the young master's third housekeeper, and I am responsible for the transaction between the two of you."

After listening to Turiside's introduction, the leader of another team asked Turiside how to prove that he was the housekeeper of Jide Bangkok?

Turiside took out two scrolls from his arms, and then he told the two principals that they would understand it as long as they read the scrolls.

After both sides listened to Turiside's words, each side sent a subordinate to obtain the scroll from Turiside's hand, and then they handed the scroll to the chief.

Yan Tielong opened the scroll and saw that there was only one sentence in the scroll, and this sentence was the code word for the connection, so he said: "Steward Turiside, I wonder if you have prepared the gold coins?".

Turiside heard Daglas ask, he clapped his hands, and then four big men walked out of the darkness, each of them holding a beautiful wooden box.

Turiside opened the wooden box in the hand of a big man, which was full of synthetic gems. Then Turiside told the principals of both parties that each box here contains 250 gems, and the value of 100,000 gold coins here is enough to pay both parties for the first time.

Transaction; then Turicide expressed that he wanted to inspect the goods of both parties.

Yan Tielong heard that Turiside wanted to check the goods, he nodded to the soldiers around him, and then nearly fifty carriages appeared in front of Turiside.

After Turiside and six weapons appraisers appraised the fifty carriages brought by Wanyan Tielong, they frowned because they found that the quality of these weapons was much different from ordinary weapons.

After investigating the quality of the weapons, Tulisid told Yan Tielong that the deal between them could not be concluded because the quality of Yan Tielong's weapons was too poor.

When Yan Tielong heard that the other party was about to regret the agreement, he frowned and asked, "Your Excellency Tu Lixide, can you really represent your young master?".

"Of course, Mr. Daglas!".

When Yan Tielong heard the other party's affirmative reply, he already knew that his team was being exploited, but when he thought about the plan of those old guys, he felt that he had made a lot of money, so he showed an expression of being teased and very annoyed and said: "It's actually you

If the young master wants it, then our transaction will be cancelled, and I will send someone to return the deposit in full later; but I hope you can leave a message to your young master."

When Thulisid heard Daglas pause, he couldn't help but asked: "Daglas, I wonder what kind of words you want me to bring to the young master?".

Yan Tielong said angrily: "Your Excellency Tu Lixide, please go back and tell your young master that when the young master comes to me to buy weapons next time, the price will be the same as now."

After Yan Tielong said this, he asked everyone to leave the transaction site, while Turiside showed disdain. He believed that his young master would not find a dealer to sell inferior weapons.

Then Turiside and Daglas had two attitudes towards another caravan, and the armed young master of the other caravan looked at Yan Tielong's team leaving and thought of the conversation just now. He found interesting information, so he asked an subordinate

He ordered: "Follow them and don't let them find out!".

It's just that Yan Tielong didn't know that the transaction between Tuliside and another caravan did not go smoothly because he had just asked Tulisid to take the message.
Chapter completed!
