He remembered that the territory of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce was located within the range of the Crimson Mage Tower, and the other party would pay him 5 Jinpuk every month as a shelter fee.

It's an acquaintance.

Under the gaze of several other small caravans, stepping towards the residence of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, Li De could clearly feel that the surrounding group of guards breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the sky was still very dark, and the caravan had not yet set off, the guards of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce who were keeping vigil were on alert.

Seeing Li De stop and stop, the group of guards suddenly had a big head.

What does this mage master want to do? They've already encountered robbers once on the way, so do they have to have another nightmare at the gates of Greentown?!

A captain of the escort team wearing half-body gray leather armor gritted his teeth and walked in front of Li De, a little vigilant and full of smiles.

"Master Mage, what do you need to tell us?"

Li De looked at him with a flat face.

"I am the owner of the Crimson Mage's Tower"

This sentence instantly made the team leader breathe a big sigh of relief, he knew about the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce would hand over the asylum fee to the other party every month, and he accompanied him several times.

Although I haven't seen the real owner of the Mage Tower, I believe that the other party must have an impression of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord Li De, it's my honor to meet you, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is very happy to serve you, I'll let you call the vice president, you wait"

His name is naturally no secret in the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.

Li De nodded, and did not refuse.

In this world, mages and nobles undoubtedly stand at the top of the pyramid, and for this group of merchants, not to mention the captain of an escort team, even the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not qualified to be on an equal footing with Li De.

Li De turned his head and looked at the more than thirty carriages of the surrounding Jinmai Chamber of Commerce, which could transport goods at one time on this scale, and it seemed that the strength of this Jinmai Chamber of Commerce was not bad.

But unfortunately, more than half of the goods on the carriage were empty, and I don't know if it was robbers or lost halfway.

Asked with some curiosity.

"What is the main business of your Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce? All these goods were snatched up? ”

The team leader shook his head, his face was a little depressed, "We mainly deal in cloth and grain, the orcs in the south broke through the border defense, and the caravan encountered a group of plundering orcs on the way, and the caravan suffered heavy losses......"

"That's right, Your Excellency Li De, the loss of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce this time is the biggest since our establishment, we were robbed by the orcs of all the cloth and food that were transported to the border to support the fighters"

A middle-aged man in a luxurious business uniform came to Li De with a wry smile, blonde hair, and a pair of shrewd brown eyes that were particularly impressive.

"Master Li De, this is the president of our Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, Laurent Orlando"

"Go down first, wake up the caravan, and get ready to go back to the city. I'm with Master Li De."

"Yes, President Laurent"

Li De looked at Laurent Orlando in front of him and nodded slightly, he had seen this man, in the memory of the ancestor of the blood clan.

And the reputation of the other party is not bad, and the business ability can also be called superior.

"Hello Laurent, I originally wanted to find a caravan to rest for a while, and then return to Green City after sunrise, but I didn't expect to meet the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.

I deeply regret what happened to you, but the suffering will pass, and I believe that one encounter will not bring the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce to its knees."

The Ancestor of the Bloodlines spent most of his time in Greene studying magic, and didn't care about anything else.

Therefore, Li De's understanding of the business community in Greentown can be regarded as a blank, and he plans to contact Laurent to understand the market from the side.

This time to buy a large amount of food, he must cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, and he doesn't have so much energy to buy it himself.

A little surprise flashed in Laurent's eyes, as if she didn't expect the indifferent mage to be so approachable.

"Your Excellency Li De, although I hope that I have always been there, this time my good luck is no longer by my side"

After speaking, he shook his head, not wanting to continue the topic, and stretched out his hand to signal the tent in the center of the caravan.

"Your Excellency, please come and rest in my tent for a while, and wait until sunrise before we go back to Greentown together."

Li De nodded slightly, didn't ask too much, thanked each other and followed the other party to the central tent.

The space was not large, with a woolen carpet floor, a small table with bread, and a half-rolled quilt beside it, apparently where Laurent had just rested.

The two sat down and exchanged a few polite words before Li De took the lead in asking questions.

"President Laurent, I would like to ask how much the price of grain in Green City is a pound of copper puk?"

Laurent looked at Li De with some strange eyes, a mage asking this kind of question?

When will these high-ranking mages care about the price of food? Even if all the civilians starved to death, it would not be their turn to starve.

"Your Excellency Li De, although I don't know why you are concerned about this issue, I have to tell you bad news.

This year, because the orcs started the war in advance, a large amount of grain on the border was plundered by the orcs before it was harvested.

So this year's food prices are the highest in nearly five years.

The price of a pound of wheat has now doubled to 8 copper puk, and as the winter months approach, the price of grain is likely to exceed 10 copper puk.

The goddess of life is above, and the civilians on the border are afraid that it will be difficult for them this winter."

After Laurent finished speaking, her face was full of solemnity, and her eyes were a little unbearable.

Once food prices rise, the first to be affected is undoubtedly the civilians, and he can already foresee that many people will starve to death this winter, many, many.

From Laurent's simple words, Li De felt the oncoming blood and sadness, and it was always the civilians who suffered the most in war.

But this was not something that one of his Blood Ancestors could control, and he shook his head and began to think about something else.

One gold puck can be exchanged for 100 silver pukes and 10,000 copper pukes.

An ordinary person in Green City earns only 10 silver puks a month, which is still necessary to support his family, and it is foreseeable how big the impact of rising food prices will be on ordinary people.

1 kimpuk can be exchanged for 10,000 copper puk, and the price of grain is 8 copper puk, and one kimpuk can buy about 1,200 pounds of grain.

The Rongguang medium pound is a unit of measurement, and the weight is not much different from a catty.

1200 pounds, saving some enough to feed a family of two for a year.

The 2,000 gold puck he brought out can be exchanged for a year's ration for tens of thousands of people.

This amount of grain was undoubtedly enough for his farming plan in the castle.

As long as it can survive a year, nay, even this winter, after the spring of next year, the fertile land behind the castle will be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

The only problem now is that he needs to buy this huge amount of grain.

It is foreseeable that because of the war waged by the orcs in the south, the price of food will continue to rise in the future, and while the price has not yet reached the limit, the purchase of food that can still be bought in the market must be completed as soon as possible.

"How much grain does the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce have? I have a business to talk to you about, and I need a large quantity of food."

Hearing Li De's words, Laurent's eyes lit up, but in the blink of an eye, his expression fell again.

"Lord Li De, the goddess is above, our Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is going bankrupt, and there is no capital to acquire it"

Li De's face was stunned.

"Bankrupt? It's just a loss of goods, not to mention cloth and grain."

Thirty wagons of cloth and grain, though abundant, were far from precious.

Such a big chamber of commerce can't afford even a loss?

Laurent shook her head, her eyes filled with despair.

"We contacted a seller at the border, and they dug up a vein of Mithril and produced a sufficient amount of Mithril ore.

You know the preciousness of Mithril, an alchemy material, and I will definitely make a lot of money if I ship it back to Green City.

But this batch of ore requires a full 1,200 gold parkk, and for this business, I sold most of the goods of the Chamber of Commerce to raise enough, and I also owe the Greentown Chamber of Commerce two hundred gold parkk.

But...... Damn the orcs, one day I'll crush them one by one and drag them to the gallows"

Needless to say, Li De could think of the details, and finally got a chance to make a fortune, but he didn't expect to meet an orc.

"So, I'm sorry Lord Li De, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce no longer exists after sunrise, and I can't do your business."

Go belly up? Thinking that the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce had always had a good reputation in his memory, Li De was not disappointed after pondering for a while, but his heart moved.

Maybe it's a good opportunity.
