Chapter 1389, ah, this guest~
The passage of time, the gradually rising temperatures, are reminding everyone that the season is entering summer.
"Emperor, the food for the people is almost untenable!"
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the emperor's ** team, Robert Smith divided the food into military and civilian, and the soldiers in his army must not go hungry, otherwise how can they fight?
But in this way, the amount of food that the people can distribute will be significantly reduced.
It has been mentioned in previous reports that the famine will begin to break out gradually until June at most.
It turned out that the abilities of his imperial ministers were still there, at least quite accurate in their calculations and judgments.
Nowadays, the food is already being distributed day by day, and at the same time, in order to last for a while longer, the food distributed is also diluted again and again, and if it continues like this, I am afraid it will be no different from drinking water directly.
He now needs at least 500,000 tons of grain to close that gap! But where is he going to look?!
The bad situation made Robert Smith's mood become a little irritable.
However, at this moment, a 'dididi' sound couldn't help but make him feel even more irritable.
Then he subconsciously glanced at the system panel that appeared, which was the reminder sound of receiving a message.
To tell the truth, unless someone can help him solve the problem of famine in the country, he is really in no mood to deal with anyone now.
"Traders?"
Looking at the name that appeared, Robert Smith frowned, and then subconsciously opened the message window......
Trader (unfamiliar) (private chat): Ah, this guest, please allow me to introduce myself first.
Trader (unfamiliar) (private chat): As the name suggests, the next is a merchant who usually sells some goods or items in order to earn some small income.
Robert Smith's expression couldn't help but change slightly when he saw these two messages, and then quickly regained his composure, and motioned for the minister standing below to retreat first.
Then he hurriedly replied with a message......
"I've heard of you being a merchant who can trade with all kinds of players and even sell supplies without the help of the system, but before that, I always thought it was just a rumor."
Yes, Robert Smith had heard of this merchant, but the existence of the other party was so mysterious that almost no one knew who this 'trade merchant' was.
But at this moment, the appearance of the trade merchant gave Robert Smith a glimmer of hope!
"You can really sell anything?"
Faced with this question, the trader on the opposite side quickly sent a reply.
"Can you sell anything? Not really, it depends on what your guests want. ”
Doesn't make any detours, Robert Smith said directly and simply......
"I need food."
"Of course, this is no problem, food resources are one of the main commodities under the order, so how much food do you need?"
"Half a million tons!"
"Oh ho, 500,000 tons of grain? No problem! As for the price, how about 100,000 tons of grain and a gold-level prop? ”
As soon as this news came out, Robert Smithton, who was sitting there, was startled, and at that moment, he almost broke out.
Although I have long heard that this mysterious trade merchant is a bit dark and a profiteer, this special mother is too dark, right?
100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level prop? Is your food studded with diamonds?!
Of course, considering his current situation, coupled with the fact that the other party does have a large amount of food in his hands, he does have a large amount of food that he urgently needs, so these words are limited to thinking about it in his head.
When it came to hand, the news of Robert Smith's return to the past became like this......
"Your joke isn't funny at all!"
"This guest, in terms of business, is quite serious."
At the end of the message, there was a 'serious' chat emoji, but Robert Smith didn't find it funny at all.
"100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level prop? It's not an exaggeration to say that the price is sky-high! ”
"Guest, you have to calculate the cost, and in the next place, it's just a small difference in the middle."
Robert Smith, who saw this news, scolded secretly on the spot in his heart, "Lao Tzu believes you are a ghost!" ”
Even if the 500,000 tons of grain were purchased by the other party from any other player, he didn't think that the purchase price would be high.
Still earn a spread? This method of selling is simply profiteering!
However, is food really worthless?
It depends!
In times of famine, for those who are about to starve to death, a mouthful of life-saving food is hard to find!
At this time, Robert Smith, although his 'empire' has not yet reached the point of starvation, it is not far off, the preciousness of food has long exceeded the value of food itself, and it has become an important material related to the survival of his empire!
These 500,000 tons of grain are more precious than gold to Robert Smith now, and that is really not an exaggeration at all!
"It's okay if you can't make a decision for a while, you can think about it slowly."
"However, let me remind you first, the food in the hands is not endless, and now it is a time of war, the grain can be said to be in tight supply, and it will soon be sold out.
"If you can't survive the predicament in front of you, it's a waste to keep gold-level props in your hands, guest, what do you think?"
With three messages in a row, Robert Smith's heart pumped.
But at the same time, he had to admit that the other party's words made him completely unable to refute.
How chaotic the world battlefield is now, just look at it here, you can see that the grain is in short supply, and the other party's words are definitely not casual words, but a fact.
100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level prop, this price is indeed expensive, but it is undeniable that if he misses this wave, he is likely to face a state where he has money and no place to buy food.
The violent inner struggle made Robert Smith's whole face become a little cloudy.
Then, after taking a deep breath, I saw him reply again......
"There is also a difference in value between gold-level props and gold-level props, how do you calculate this account?"
"Guest, you can rest assured, 100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level prop, this is just a measure, what the specific price, it depends on what gold-level props you come up with, after all, you are an honest businessman."
