In the kingdom of Higgs, a middle-aged merchant blew hot air on his hands, wrapped the fur from the steppe tightly, looked up at the plaque above his head, and walked into the rice shop.

The guys inside hurriedly came over to greet them, and those who came to buy rice at this time must be very, very rich businessmen. After all, the current price of rice in the Higgs Kingdom is really not cheap.

As long as we wait until next year's harvest season and the new grain is harvested, the price of rice will be immediately lowered.

However, since the beginning of autumn, the price of rice, which should have fallen, has become incomprehensible because of Iran Hill's crazy acquisition. Now, these grains are really worth a lot of money, and there are countless merchants from Ellen Hill who come to the door to buy them, so people really don't know what the other party is thinking.

"How much grain do you have left to sell...... In the next, I want it all. As soon as the merchant entered the door, he did not talk nonsense, but directly stated his purpose.

When the guy heard this, the smile on his face stiffened, this kind of Irlanhill merchants who came to "smash the field" have been increasing recently, and as soon as they came, they said that they would buy all the grain, and it was like they would not leave anyone else to live.

But the person who comes is a guest, and this guy doesn't want to offend these big businessmen, after all, this time next year, maybe the price of grain will fall, and he will have to rely on these merchants who buy grain to eat.

So he squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile and explained: "Sir, you may not be clear, because of the drastic reduction in grain reserves, our King has issued a purchase restriction order, and you can only purchase a maximum of 50 barrels of grain at a time......"

The calculation unit of the barrel is actually the same as the calculation unit of Hu, which is a method of measuring grain by volume, which is not accurate or scientific. However, because each country has its own weights and measures, such a thing can only be endured.

Now Irlanhill has begun to popularize the new weights and measures, various length units and weight units, which suddenly make it more convenient for those who use them. Coupled with the widespread use of new numbers, all the territories under Chris's rule have made great strides in calculations.

"Can't you be accommodating?" The merchant pressed a gold coin on the coffee table beside him, and the golden light shook his eyes.

"100 barrels, this is the biggest business we dare to do." The fellow looked around before he pocketed the gold coin and said, "The price is according to this morning's departure, this is the biggest deal." ”

Everyone knows that the grain is not worried about selling now, and everyone is staring at this piece. Locals are driving up prices, outsiders are frantically buying food, the food hoarded in various rice stores is drastically decreasing, and the Higgs Kingdom has even begun to fall into a state of partial shortage.

"Okay!" The merchant was also very talkative, and nodded his head and agreed to the deal. He stood up and said, "Then please pack up all this grain, and I will transport it away at once." ”

There was no way, although he was very distressed, but he could only take out the money bag from his pocket and put a stack of gold coins on the table for the other party to examine carefully. Such a hundred barrels of grain may not have been worth even 20 silver coins in previous years, but now it is already 7 gold coins.

A full thirty-five times increase, it sounds incredible. Not only that, but in addition to racking his brains to buy a lot of grain, Alan Hill is also frantically buying meat products from the grasslands: not only fresh, live cattle and sheep, but even jerky.

After all, the population of Irlanhill is growing exponentially, and there has never been such a natural population expansion in history. Because of the popularization of modern medical technology little by little, the risk of childbirth is decreasing, and the birth rate of the population remains high.

On the other hand, Elanhill has implemented a one-year "population subsidy benefit" policy, in which all babies born within this year are subsidized by the government: half a sheep, 200 kilograms of grain, and 50 litres of goat's milk or cow's milk.

At the same time, as long as children go to school to learn knowledge and sign an agreement to obey the government's employment distribution after graduation, they can receive a free lunch and a subsidy of 100 kilograms of food from the school administration......

This is also the main reason why Iran Hill is so crazy about importing food, which is completely to support the continuous industrialization of a country by subsidizing the money. If it weren't for Desser's search for his family's gold coins everywhere, Alan Hill might not have been able to develop so quickly.

From the beginning to the present, the millions of gold coins that Desell sold most of his property in exchange for have almost been squandered, and if it weren't for the products produced in the factory to recover some of the gold coins, Desell would have gone bankrupt long ago.

At this point, he had to write letters to his relatives and borrow money to raise the gold that Ellan Hill needed. At the beginning, he had to borrow 50,000 gold coins with one mouth, and now he has even started to borrow 1,000 gold coins - shamelessly, he has not paid back a penny of these borrowed gold coins......

In every corner of the Higgs Kingdom, in every rice shop, there are Irlanhill merchants frantically purchasing. They hardly count the price, as long as the other party dares to sell, they dare to pay for the grain sold.

……

The bustling streets of Seris have happy smiles on everyone's faces. This kind of smile was rare to see in the past, but now almost everyone in Irlanhill is full of hope for the future, so a smile is their most common expression.

"See these people? In the past, only the Great Magician had such a confident expression. Walking down the street with his hands behind his back, Frenzberg found himself seemingly back in the magical holy city of Belivy. He set out from Bellevy and headed east, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that in the easternmost magical forbidden land, there was a city as spirited as Belivi.

It was truly a magical journey that made the great magician very happy. Although he couldn't meditate for a month, the novelty of his knowledge still made him feel worthwhile.

"They use something as old-fashioned as books to convey such basic knowledge." Looking at a copy of "Addition and Subtraction within Ten of Elementary School" that he bought from the corner bookstore, William suddenly felt deceived.

Coming out of Bellivy, William didn't carry a lot of gold coins, because the Magic Empire didn't use ordinary gold coins, but enchanted gold coin certificates. Obviously, this kind of precious thing can't be spent in the mortal world, because no one can make change......

"These mortals have developed a new set of digital symbols...... Strange symbols, though...... It's funny...... "Wilhelm walked beside Frenzberg, as if he had no ears to what was going on outside the window, and was only interested in reading the books of the sages.

"Look at things the same as before, just at the surface." Frenzberg looked at the various chairs placed in front of the carpentry shop with great interest, rubbing his hand on the smooth cut surface: "Did they find the wrong money all the way?" ”

Hearing this question, William was stunned, and then looked at his teacher in shock. Along the way, no matter what he bought, there didn't seem to be any mistakes in finding money.

This thing is actually very funny to say, whether it is in the Higgs Kingdom or in the Arrant Empire, it is actually quite easy to find the wrong money. Especially when buying from the retail vendors, be careful.

However, this time, from the moment they entered Alan Hill, they found that there were very few cases of finding the wrong money. This at least shows that the quality of civilians in Irlanhill has surpassed that of other regions.

"It looks like these strange symbols...... It's a very useful innovation. This time, William finally paid attention to the textbook used in elementary school.

As he looked at the newly built buildings with sleek windows, Frenzberg took the country's reassessment of productivity up a notch. The glass used on those buildings doesn't seem to be a bargain in the Magic Empire.

You know, in this world, glass with general transparency is actually very common, but those high-quality glasses with very good transparency are still luxury goods that the Magic Empire is willing to buy. After all, the Archmages also wanted their rooms to be more transparent, so that they could make better use of the sunlight outside the window.

Chris opened a glass factory in order to make observation equipment such as telescopes. However, the profitability of the glass factory could not depend only on the needs of the military industry, so soon the factory began to mass-produce flat glass, and the result was even more profitable.

This is the case with Iran Hill, where the daily flow of gold coins is earned back into the accounts, and then spent by the flow of water. It seems that every link is making money, but many investors are just getting "vouchers" as income vouchers.

These certificates can be exchanged for raw materials for production, as well as for various consumer goods, but only a small part can be exchanged for money. However, wise merchants would not be willing to exchange these precious vouchers for gold, which can buy a lot of things that gold can't.

For example, machinery, cement, glass, ...... for the expansion of factories With these things, they can continue to recruit and expand their factories and finally make more profits.

No one believed that Iran Hill would collapse, because many of the big businessmen had already bet on another possible situation. In their opinion, Elanhill will not be a rival to the Magic Empire, but will only replace Arrant as the new spokesperson of the Mortal Empire.
