On the snowfield not far from Pine Town, similar to the lords who came to the outskirts of Drifting Snow City at a certain time, they also came here during this period when the wind and snow were getting stronger, but the mood was a little bumpy, I heard that Drifting Snow City changed masters in one day, and they really wouldn't be affected if they reached a trade agreement with the previous nobles?

So much so that the caravans that came during this period invariably chose not to enter the city, and a large number of caravans were stationed not far from Songmu Town, waiting for the first person to eat crabs to appear.

………

"Why are there so many caravans during this period? Although there are a lot of supplies in winter, it is not a money-making business for the caravan, right? ”

Leo was a little strange, as far as the winter supplies were small profits, far from worth the fact that these caravans had traveled thousands of miles to trade here in the wind and snow.

Mu Feng's face was a little stiff, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth.

"It's....food"

"Grain?"

"The grain sold cheaply by the nobles and landlords during the ..... autumn harvest season was sold at a high price in the winter when there was a shortage to the commoners who had no surplus grain but had made an annual payment."

No wonder, this is the reason why these caravans did not dare to enter the city, obviously the grain was basically expropriated, but there was no stock in the grain depot in the city.

"Huh"

Mu Feng felt an inexplicable chill.

"How much inventory does the Grand family have in stock of this?"

Mu Feng shook his head like a rattle, for fear of being implicated.

"No, not much, it's all peripheral industries, and the investment of the Grande family in the past two years has been spices and minerals."

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, let them listen to the instructions and prepare to sell, and count the inventory, let's go play a big wave"

"Yes! Adult"

"How many times have you called me teacher!"

……

The businessmen who maintained a wait-and-see attitude formed a committee together, led by the largest chamber of commerce in the bank, the camel of the north wind, and when they were about to negotiate with Drifting Snow City, they encountered something unbelievable.

The new lord actually took the initiative to send the only son of the Grand family as a representative to negotiate.

"Are you telling the truth? Does your lord really allow us to sell? ”

Mu Feng smiled, if he didn't agree, the food in the territory would not be enough to survive the winter, they had the idea at the beginning, but they didn't say what they thought.

"Naturally, but adults want all the transactions to be done on the exchange."

"Ah, that's no problem."

The leader of the North Wind, Geto, felt that it was acceptable, and he went to the exchange to extract the fee as a profit, which was nothing to the caravan, and even secretly glad that the business was not yellow.

"In addition, this is a separate commission from the Grande family, and we want to sell some grain in advance, after all, our current employer...... You get the idea, right? ”

Geto was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, the other party was avoiding suspicion, and the inventory carried by the caravan was also limited, so it was naturally best to replenish it here.

"I don't know what price you're interested in? Also, we didn't carry too many gold coins for safety reasons."

A smile rose at the corner of Mu Feng's mouth, and it was exactly as the teacher expected.

"It's okay, you can use credit to buy and sell, just set a contract, and how about a stone at a price of one silver coin?"

"That's really grateful, and someone here will draw up an agreement right away"

……….

The caravan that had been on the outskirts of the city for a long time began to gradually enter the city, and everything seemed to have entered the daily track, only Mu Feng felt that his teacher was beginning to exude a chilling aura.

"How? What about the exchange? ”

Mu Feng nodded and flipped through the records in his hand.

"All the caravans have entered the city, although a few who want to sell them without permission have been interrogated separately, I think they must be testing us"

"Well, go ahead"

"The news of your orders has been released, probably because of the reduction of taxes, the price of wheat on the exchange has risen all the way, and even the third-class miscellaneous powder has been sold for ten copper coins a bucket, and those merchants have gone crazy with happiness"

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Mu Feng thought about it, and although he might make the teacher unhappy, he answered truthfully.

"My words will reduce the trading volume at this time, and from time to time throw some waiting for the price to rise"

Leo nodded, the quill in his hand tapping lightly on the table.

"That's right, how are the mountain people contacting?"

"High Priest Lucio is very grateful for your forgiveness and says that it is all up to you"

Leo suddenly stood up and looked out the window at the bustling crowd, feeling that his mood had suddenly brightened.

"As a child of a merchant family, you have learned business skills very well, but that's not what I want to teach you."

He gestured out the window.

"This is the first live teaching of economics, you have to remember it"

……..

The billboards of the trading houses were changed to new prices layer by layer, and the price of grain rose all the way, and even some of the owners of the manors who had a surplus could not help but participate in it, and the foreign merchants even felt that they were enough to make a name in the circle of merchants through this business.

Leo and Mu Feng secretly hid on the platform not far from the exchange with the guard door, obviously they were lords, but Old Barrow felt that this adult must have been a thief in his last life.

"Here's the question! Mr. Mufeng, please answer, when will the price of goods rise? ”

"Uh....when demand outstrips supply?"

"And when will the price fall?"

"That's naturally the time when supply exceeds demand~"

Before Mu Feng could speak, a playful voice came from behind him.

"See Your Highness"

A group of people wanted to salute, but saw Fran wave his hand to signal that he didn't need to.

"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of the cold?"

Fran glanced at Ao and rubbed her reddened hands.

"Every time you run out with a bad smile on your face, you must be going to play some kind of moth."

"This is a serious lecture! If I don't understand outdoor teaching, I will definitely promote this teaching method to the whole country in the future."

Fran ignored Leo's gossip and pointed down.

"How long are you going to let them go?"

Leo sneered contemptuously as he looked at the group of merchants below who were approaching the Exchange, and then at the group of merchants who had nothing but a flow of materialism in their eyes.

"In my territory, suck the blood of my people, and their retribution is now"

The exchange comes to buy basically only scattered civilians, their money is limited, and food is limited, as long as no one disturbs the situation, then this round of buy low and sell high game will continue.

If there is really no one to disrupt the situation......

Horse-drawn carts entered the treasury of the exchange and exchanged grain for a large number of trading vouchers, and if they wanted to maximize the profits, then these new entrants should also sell carefully.

With the cloak off, the Mediterranean Sea of the bear patriarch shone as brightly as ever.

"Throw!"

The receptionist of the exchange shook his hand, looked at the large bag of vouchers in front of him, and swallowed and spat unconsciously.

"You... Are you sure? ”

"Of course"

Someone else walked up to the counter, and anyone who was attentive would have noticed that this man had been standing behind the head of the Grand House a few days ago, and was clearly a figure like a butler.

"And me, all of this is thrown away"

Another big bag of vouchers, these two bags alone are enough to exchange for almost half of the food consumption in the lower city.

As soon as the words fell, the whole trading floor fell silent, and it boiled like a hot oil pot dripping with water, and the crowd rushed forward frantically to sell the vouchers in their hands.

Only the group of people in the caravan did not move, there were too many vouchers in their hands, and they could not throw them away for a while, and from the moment the fat Mediterranean man walked onto the trading table, they were finished.

Geto suddenly felt something, and the ghost envoy looked up in a daze, but found that Mu Feng was smiling at him on the city tower not far away, although he was in a bad mood, he still symbolically beckoned, but found that the other party was waving something in his hand.

I squinted and looked at it for a long time before I realized what it was....... it was a contract..... a contract to buy grain at the price before the crash.

At this moment, Geto's heart is really like falling into an ice cave.
