Chapter 635: Provoking food price increases and arms deals can't be reached

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 6th and 5th day of Xingyu 1174, a group of soldiers started from the noble castle and scattered to Jiyu Town and the refugee area outside Jiyu Town.

These soldiers came to various district bulletin boards, and then they posted the documents on the bulletin boards, and then they lectured loudly about the food shortage in Jiyu Town, so the chief executive of Jiyu Town decided to reduce food payment labor and increase food prices by 50%, of course The treatment of military members remains unchanged, and at the same time, it is hoped that young and strong will join the army enthusiastically.

At the same time, it also explained why the government raised the price of food. It turned out that it was recorded in the announcement that the fishing fleet of Liushuiyu Village encountered a storm, which caused heavy losses to the entire fleet, which led to an increase in food.

Of course, the official explanation is Yan Tielong's strategy to increase the value of food, but the truth is that not only did the fleet not have any accidents, but it also had a bumper harvest.

The soldiers made loud announcements, which attracted a large number of people around, and after the soldiers shouted three times, they left. This also caused the illiterate people to not know what happened, so they asked those who could read what happened when they arrived.

When the people at the bottom rely on labor to get food, they know 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 even some grumpy people want the official to give them an explanation. After all, these people only want to feed themselves and their families, and they don't bother to care about the rest.

It's just that when these dissatisfied people gathered in the noble castle, they saw fully 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.

The captain of the Lieyan Legion guarding the noble castle saw that someone was really making trouble, so he directly followed the command of the legion commander to show his killing spirit. After suppressing the refugees, he made the soldiers shout loudly the slogan of joining the army if you want good welfare.

Those refugees who were about to make trouble heard the slogan of the Flame Legion, and some of them really understood their minds, so they all joined the militia.

Soon more and more people learned that becoming a soldier would feed his family, so more and more refugees joined the army.

Of course, Yanmorag and the forces behind them learned that the government raised food prices and recruited troops, and they were very confused about what the government was going to do. However, they thought that the government's increase in food prices would be more powerful for them to take over Jiyu Town, so they sent people to urge them to trade with them The person brings the goods over.

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

"Your Excellency Douglas, I heard that the lord is very short of food now, I wonder if it is true?".

Yan Tielong heard McGulag's question,

With a hesitant expression on his face, he told the other party that the current person in charge of Jiyu Town was indeed short of food. At the same time, he also told the other party that the adult now bought food worth 120,000 gold coins at twice the current market price of fish, and said that he himself was not Grain merchants, otherwise all sold.

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

Yan Tielong was a little puzzled when he saw Mai Gurag thinking seriously, so he asked, "Your Excellency Mai Gurag, didn't you sell your grain yesterday?".

Hearing Douglas's question, Maigurag thought for a while and told Yan Tielong that the price given to him by the chicken de Bangkok yesterday was equal to today's fish price, so he just reached an agreement for nearly 500 tons of wheat, and he still wants to wait and see for a while See if the price can be increased. After all, the official fishing fleet has an accident, and Mai Luocheng has not been resolved. He believes that the price of wheat will continue to increase.

Yan Tielong can understand McGulag's idea of ​​maximizing the interests of a typical businessman, but from the official position of Jiyu Town, he must cheat the other party, so he very much agrees that McGulag should take a good look at it, and at the same time talk about himself in an envious tone If there is food, he must triple it and sell it to make a fortune.

McGulag heard that Dagras agreed with him to continue holding wheat, so he planned to raise the price with the other six grain masters. Wheat's agreement wants to be torn up. After all, in the eyes of their businessmen, profit is everything.

In the afternoon, Yan Tielong asked the hired labor to carry the iron-tipped wooden gun and iron-tipped arrow into the carriage. After all, Yan Tielong had already received a deposit of 10,000 gold coins for synthetic gemstones from Jide Bangkokla yesterday.

Of course, Yan Tielong and Jide Bangkok reached an arms agreement and divided them into three transactions. In fact, Yan Tielong was worried that one attack would cause the other party to use force to snatch without paying.

The content of the first transaction was 6,000 iron-tipped spears and 1,000 baskets of iron-tipped arrows. "One basket is for thirty arrows." Of course, these weapons are refurbished equipment worth 35,000 gold coins. "The normal value is 1/ 10".

Soon Yan Tielong led 300 soldiers of the Lieyan Legion in disguise to guard the trading site. Yan Tielong didn't expect that there was no one at the trading site. Put on a posture.

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

For the sudden appearance of a middle-aged man, both sides stopped and attacked forcefully, but both sides were wary of each 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 sides. After all, once there was a bloodshed between the two sides, it is very likely that the deal between their young master and the two parties will be terminated, which will affect the acceptance of the Jiyu Town plan. That was very bad, so he appeared to prevent the two sides from conflicting.

Yan Tielong was supported by six bodyguards and asked who the middle-aged man was; of course, Yan Tielong didn't need bodyguards at all, but as a businessman, he must look like a businessman, so he was closely guarded by six bodyguards.

At the same time, a young man and an old man walked out of the armed team on the other side, and the old man told Yan Tielong that the other party was a powerful master, so it was no wonder that the young man only needed the old man to protect him; of course, the young man also questioned who the other party was .

The middle-aged man introduced to the principals of the two forces: "My name is Tuli Xide, and I am Chicken Demanangla. I am the third steward of the young master. I will be in charge of the transaction between the two of you."

After listening to Tuli Xide's introduction, the head of the other team asked Tuli Xide how to prove that he was the housekeeper of Chicken Demanangla?

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

After the two sides listened to Tulixide's words, each side sent a subordinate to obtain the scroll in Tulixide'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 a code word for docking, so he said: "Housekeeper Tulixid, I wonder if you have prepared gold coins?".

When Tulixide heard Dagras asking, he clapped his hands, and then four big men came out from the darkness, each of them holding a beautiful wooden box.

Tulixide opened a wooden box in the hands of a big man, which was full of synthetic gems, and then Tulixide told the principals of the two parties that each box contained 250 gems, and the value of 100,000 gold coins here was enough to pay both parties for the first time. transaction; then Tulixide expressed that he wanted to check the goods of both parties.

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

After Tuli Xide and six weapon appraisers appraised the fifty carriages brought by Yan Tielong, they frowned because they found that the quality of these weapons was much worse than ordinary weapons.

After investigating the quality of the weapons, Tu Lixide 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 wanted to regret the appointment, he frowned and asked, "Your Excellency Tuli Xide, can you really represent your young master?".

"Of course, Lord Douglas!".

Hearing the affirmative answer from the other party, Yan Tielong already knew that his team was being used, but when he thought of 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: "It's actually you guys! The meaning of the young master, then our transaction will be cancelled, and I will send someone to return the deposit in full; but I hope you will bring a word to your young master."

When Tulixid heard Dagras pause, he couldn't help asking: "Dagras, I don't know what you want me to say for the young master?".

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

After Yan Tielong finished speaking, he asked everyone to leave the transaction site, but Tu Lixide showed disdain, he believed that his young master would not find a dealer who sold inferior weapons.

Then Tulixid and Dagras had two attitudes towards the other caravan, and the armed young master of the other caravan saw Yan Tielong's team leave the back and thought of the conversation just now. He found interesting information, so he told a property He ordered: "Follow them and don't let them find out!".

It's just that Yan Tielong didn't know that the transaction he made with Tuli Xide just now with another caravan was not smooth.
