The Dictatorial Lords

A little annoyed, Locke simply threw away the documents in his hand. stand up. Seeing Locke standing up suddenly, the two maids didn't know how to apply. Asked suspiciously: "My lord, what is this?"

"It's nothing. I'm just a little upset. Go out for a walk. Just look at the corn. Lawrence asked her to manage the food. I don't know what's going on. Let's go and see today. The corn has been planted for so long .Should be almost mature, right? No matter how immature, I will be driven crazy by these caravans." Said and walked out.

The two maids covered their mouths and sniggered. Also quickly keep up.

When I came to the field, I happened to see Lawrence inspecting the food planted in the field. Seeing Locke coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "My lord, why do you have time to come here today? Look, these are the corns you asked to grow. They grow very well. I tasted it, and it tastes so delicious. Haha .I like this taste. It is better than sweet potatoes and potatoes. As soon as this kind of thing comes out, it will definitely be snapped up by the merchants outside."

Locke saw the corn. There is also a smile on the face. Said: "How about it, how long will it take for these corns to mature? Now those caravans outside are writing letters to my office every day, and I am almost annoyed to death these days."

"My lord, this...the corn can be picked now. But sweet potatoes and potatoes may take a few days. I think I will send workers to harvest when they can all be picked."

Locke was overjoyed when he heard this. There is no time to wait for a few days. Immediately said: "There is no need to wait. Let the workers harvest the corn as soon as possible. Let those caravans and shops be able to sell it as soon as possible. Let all the gold coins of those nobles enter our pockets."

Lawrence didn't expect Locke to be so anxious. So he said: "Okay, my lord. I'll arrange for people to come and harvest the food. But, my lord, should we let those caravans transport all of us, or keep some of them?"

Although commercial issues are under Hal's management. But Lawrence still had to ask. Otherwise, they would be pulled over by those caravans. If you don't leave a little bit of your own city, you can't justify it.

Is there even a question? Locke also hasn't eaten corn for a long time. I still miss the taste of my hometown. So he said: "Of course we keep some of them, we can't sell all of them. We also have to display them in our store in Orz. Otherwise, none of our stores sell them. What do you think from the outside?"

Thinking of corn being harvested. Locke didn't stop here either. He was going to see where Hal was.

"Hal, Hal." "Not yet through the door." Locke yelled.

When Hal heard Locke's voice, he walked out quickly and asked, "My lord, what's the matter? Has something happened to the Commerce Department?"

How can Locke be in the mood to joke with her and quickly said: "Hal, the corn at Lawrence is ripe. Now they are arranging people to harvest, and you should stop the people immediately and let those stewards who go to the caravan hold a meeting. You can discuss it. How to distribute the corn. But for corn, we in Orz will definitely keep a part of it for our own consumption in the city. How to get it is up to you. Also, sweet potatoes and potatoes are about to mature, you We have to have a good talk with them next time. Our food is so popular outside. This price will definitely not be the same as before. Just mention it a little bit.”

Hal nodded. He didn't say much, and quickly ordered the people around him to go down and summon those caravans.

When Locke returned to the room, the two little maids were holding some corn in their hands. Get ready to try it for yourself.

It was a few days before Hal called the caravans a meeting. The corn accumulation of Orz was sold to several border countries one after another by them.

A steady stream of gold coins was hoarded in Al Oz's vault.

In the human kingdom, the eagle kingdom, those nobles who bought sweet potatoes and potatoes. I heard that Orz has released another kind of food that can be stored for a long time. They all rushed to buy it, and when they got home, they tasted the corn for themselves. Immediately ordered the servants to start a large amount of storage. Start drying and storing according to the caravan method.

This thing can be stored for several years, can they not be taken care of? This kind of resource must be kept in their own hands before they bother. If the civilians at the bottom of society store a lot. Will their territory be managed in the future?

Why do those low-level civilians work for them, and why are they nobles. Not because they had food on hand. If they don't even have food. One can imagine what will happen to their territory.

Those big forces, as well as the controllers of the country, knew that there was a new food in Orz. It can still be stored for a long time. What else can they do but hoard a lot? By force? Do not make jokes. Don't you see that others are not even afraid of the Empire? Can you be afraid of a kingdom? Not to mention those large forces. A force that even the country dare not. What else could they do? It is also the same as other forces, and can only be purchased in large quantities. This kind of food is not like sweet potatoes, which will go bad after a few months. This food can be stored for several years.

The meaning is different. Wait until All Oz's food is sold all over the world. One can imagine what a huge wealth this is. Some forces even bought corn as military rations for storage.

It can be said that during this period, Orz earned more gold coins than those countries. If you think about it, apart from the main city and the market in front of Orz, a large piece of land behind it is used for growing food. How much food can each harvest have?

Under Locke's order, Lawrence continued to expand this land. It is conceivable that All Oz can be said to be a large food export place in the future.

This kind of power is not something that can attract his attention. Zhang Zhao told Locke when he knew about corn, if Orz really develops to that point, unless a country wants to deal with Orz. Other forces are definitely not qualified in front of Orz.

In this backward world, food is about taking the initiative. Where there is food, there is a right to speak.

Don't other forces know about this? I know, of course I know. But so what? Not to mention that Orz is located in the Wigerut Wilderness, even Orz's own strength should not be underestimated. Especially the knights that are displayed in front of outsiders. Is there any strength that can withstand the charge of tens of thousands of knights? Even among the legions of the empire, few thought of tens of thousands of knights charging as an enemy.
