Chapter 635: Provoking food price increases and arms deals cannot be reached
At nine o'clock in the morning on June 5, 1174, a group of soldiers scattered from the noble castle to the town of Jiba and the refugee area outside the town of Jiba.
These soldiers came to the bulletin boards in various areas, and then they posted documents on the bulletin boards, and then loudly told about the shortage of food in Jiba Town, so the top governor of Jiba Town decided to reduce the food payment labor and the price of food increased by 50%, of course, the treatment of military families remained unchanged, and at the same time, they hoped that young and strong people would join the army enthusiastically.
At the same time, it also explains why the official raised the price of food, it turned out that the announcement recorded that the fishing fleet of Liushui Fish Village encountered a storm, which caused the entire fleet to suffer heavy losses, so the food increased.
Of course, the official explanation is that Yan Tielong and their strategy to raise the value of food, but the situation is that not only did the fleet not have an accident, but also a bumper harvest.
The soldiers' loud announcements attracted a large number of onlookers, and after the soldiers had finished shouting three articles, they left, which led to the illiterate people not knowing what had happened, so they asked the literate people what had happened when they arrived.
When the people at the bottom who rely on labor to get food learn that they originally worked hard for a day to feed a family of three, but now they only let one person be fed, which directly caused them to be extremely dissatisfied, and even some grumpy people asked the official to give them an explanation, after all, these people only want to eat for themselves and their families, and they don't bother to care.
It was only when these disgruntled people gathered at the noble castle that they saw heavily armed soldiers, and they became timid, after all, they did not want to die, and they could not starve to death as long as they saved a little food.
When the captain of the Flame Legion who was guarding the noble castle saw that someone was really making trouble, he directly followed the commander's order to show a murderous spirit, and after suppressing the refugees, he asked the soldiers to shout the slogan of joining the army if they wanted good welfare.
The refugees who were ready to make trouble heard the slogans of the Flame Legion, and some of them really understood their minds, so they all went to join the militia.
Soon more and more people learned that if they became soldiers, their families would be fed, and more and more refugees joined the army.
Of course, Imolag and the forces behind them were very confused about what the officials were going to do when they learned about the official increase in food prices and recruitment, but they thought that the official increase in food prices would be more powerful for them to take over the town of Jiba, so they sent people to urge the people they traded with to bring the goods over.
In the Red Leaf Tavern, Yan Tielong, in the name of Dalgrass, communicated with McGulag about yesterday's black market transactions.
"Lord Daglas, I heard that the Lord is very short of food right now, I wonder if it's true?"
Yan Tielong heard Mai Gulag asking, he hesitated and told the other party that the current ruler of Jiyu Town was indeed very short of food, and at the same time, he also told the other party that the current lord was buying grain worth 120,000 gold coins at twice the current market price, and said that he was not a grain merchant, otherwise he would sell it all.
When McGulag heard Daglas tell about the purchase of grain as high as 120,000 gold coins, he counted in his heart and found that all his food reserves could be sold at once, but he still felt that the price of food was a little low.
Yan Tielong saw that Mai Gulag was seriously thinking about his expression, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Your Excellency Mai Gulag, didn't your grain sell yesterday?"
Hearing Darglas's inquiry, Mai Gulag thought for a while and told Yan Tielong that the price given to him by the chicken yesterday was the price of fish and meat today, so he only reached an agreement of nearly 500 tons of wheat, and he also wanted to wait and see if he could increase the price for a while, after all, there was an accident in the official fishing fleet, and Mai Luocheng had not yet been resolved, and he believed that the price of wheat would be long.
Yan Tielong can understand the idea of maximizing the interests of a typical businessman in McGulag, but from the official position of Jiyu Town, he must pit the other party, so he very much agrees with McGulag to take a good look, and at the same time said in an envious tone that if he has grain, he must make a lot of money in the sale.
When he heard that Daglas was in favor of him continuing to hold the wheat, he planned to raise the price with the other six fellow grain masters, and if the other party did not even give the official price, he planned to tear up the previous agreement of five hundred tons of wheat, after all, in the eyes of their merchants, profit was everything.
In the afternoon, Yan Tielong asked the hired laborers to carry the iron-headed wooden spear and iron-headed arrows into the carriage, after all, Yan Tielong had already received a deposit of 10,000 gold coins worth of synthetic gems from Jide Bangkok yesterday.
Of course, Yan Tielong and Jide Bangkok reached an arms agreement in three transactions, in fact, Yan Tielong was worried that one *** would cause the other party to use force to snatch without paying.
The first transaction was 6,000 iron-headed spears and 1,000 baskets of iron-headed arrows, missing "one basket for thirty arrows", of course, these weapons were refurbished equipment worth 35,000 gold coins, and the normal value was 1/10.
Soon Yan Tielong led three hundred disguised guards to the trading place, so that Yan Tielong did not expect that there was no force at the trading location, both sides thought that the other party was Jide Bangkok pulling people, but the two sides found that the code was wrong, and immediately put up a formation.
Just as the two sides were about to fight, they heard, "Stop!"
For the sudden appearance of a middle-aged man, both sides forcibly stopped attacking, but both sides were wary of each other, after all, neither side dared to hand over their 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 bloodshed between the two sides in front of him, then it was likely that the transaction between their young master and the two sides would be terminated, which would affect the acceptance of the plan of Jiba Town, which was very bad, so he appeared to prevent the two sides from clashing.
Yan Tielong asked the middle-aged man who the middle-aged man was when he was supported by the six bodyguards, of course, with Yan Tielong's strength, he didn't need bodyguards at all, but as a businessman, he had to 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's faint strong aura told Yan Tielong that the other party was a strong 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 principal of the two forces: "My name is Tulisid and I am Jide Bangkok, and I am the third butler of the young master, and I am in charge of the transaction between the two. ”。
After listening to Tulisid's introduction, the other team of people asked Tulicid how to prove that he was the chicken de Bangkok butler?
Turisid took out two scrolls from his bosom, and then he told the two principals that they would understand if they looked at the scrolls.
After listening to Turisids, each side sent one of their subordinates to take the scroll from Turisids, and then they gave it to the master.
Yan Tielong opened the scroll and saw that there was only one sentence in the scroll, and this sentence was the docking code, so he said: "Butler Tulicid, I don't know if you have prepared the gold coins?"
Turicid clapped his hands when he heard Daglas ask, and four large men came out of the shadows, each holding a fine wooden box.
Turisid opened a wooden box in the hand of a big man, which was full of synthetic gems, and then Turisid told the principals of both sides that each box contained 250 gems, which were worth 100,000 gold coins enough to pay for the first transaction between the two parties, and then Turisid said that he wanted to see the goods of both sides.
Yan Tielong heard that Tulicid was about to check the goods, he nodded to the soldiers beside him, and then nearly fifty carriages appeared in front of Tulisid.
After Turisid and the six weapons appraisers had finished appraising the fifty wagons that Yan Tielong had brought, they frowned, as they found that the quality of these weapons was much inferior to ordinary weapons.
After investigating the quality of the weapons, he told Yan Tielong that the deal between them could not be reached because the quality of Yan Tielong's weapons was too poor.
Yan Tielong heard that the other party was about to repent, he frowned and asked, "Your Excellency Tulicid, can you really represent your young master?"
"Of course, Lord Dalglas!".
Yan Tielong heard the other party's affirmative reply, he already knew that his side of the 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 a very annoyed expression of being teased and said: "It's actually what your young master meant, then our transaction will be canceled, and I will send someone to return the deposit in full later, but I want you to bring a word to your young master." ”。
When Turisid heard Daglas pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Daglas, I don't know what you want me to bring for the young master?"
Yan Tielong said angrily: "Your Excellency Tu Li Xide, please go back and tell your young master, and wait for the young master to buy weapons from me next time, then the price will be the current one." ”。
After Yan Tielong finished speaking, he asked everyone to leave the trading site, and Tu Li Xide showed disdain, he believed that his young master would not look for a merchant who sold inferior weapons.
Then Turisid and the other party Daglas had two attitudes towards the other caravan, and the armed young master of the other caravan looked at Yan Tielong's team leaving the back and thought of the conversation just now, he found interesting information, so he ordered one of his subordinates: "Follow them and don't let them find out!"
It's just that Yan Tielong doesn't know that he just asked Tulicid to talk to make Tulisid's transaction with another caravan not go well.
