As soon as Zhu Ping arrived, the eyes of all the nobles at the dock were focused on this uninvited guest.

Lin Zheng, who used to like to hide until the end, was the first to speak: "Oh...... It turned out to be Baron Xiao Nong! I wonder why the baron is here? ”

In the tone of his voice, he deliberately spit out the word baron very heavily, as if he was afraid that others would not know that Zhu Ping was a baron.

Beth's eyes flickered, this Hall Baron was full of cards when he first came here, and there were two towers standing behind him, he thought it was a big man, it turned out to be a little baron in a small place!

It may even be a "little person" who is not disgusted by the viscount.

At the same time, Xiao Nong also showed a sneering expression and said, "We are discussing cooperation with foreign businessmen, and if Baron Hall has nothing to do, please avoid one or two." ”

Baron Beth saw that both viscounts were hostile to him, so he also gave up the idea of greeting each other.

Even, the small baron actually showed a look of contempt, quite a bit of the charm of a man with his nostrils facing the sky.

He smiled and said, "If this Hall Baron is fine, please leave!" ”

"The king has been busy with government affairs lately, so he sent me over to receive food ......" Zhu Ping smiled innocently, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Bessie glanced at Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng and had no intention of objecting, so they didn't pay attention to it.

Of course, he doesn't care, after all, he has a monopoly in his hands, and the more buyers, the more fierce the competition, the better it is for him.

It's just a small person, and it's not worth taking seriously.

So Bess continued: "It was agreed before, this shipload of grain is 300 gold coins, a total of ten ships, but the king was not present in person, and this grain is not easy for Sir Ben to move.

It's better to hand it over to the three parties to compete for bidding, and the one with the highest price wins, how? ”

"Baron Beth, it's not appropriate to change tactics so frequently!" Xiao Nong's face was a little unkind.

"Viscount Xiao Nong, we are in business, business is just business, and it doesn't affect friendship!" The bass seems to have a wry smile, but in fact it is a little complacent.

It's like a small gui in a big city who meets a local tyrant in the countryside, and there is always some sense of superiority in status.

Lin Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally did not choose to exit.

He owned most of the shops in the city, so he was the most abundant man in gold among the great nobles, and even the king might not be able to catch up with him.

So the bidding is in his favor.

Xiao Nong frowned, looked at Lin Zheng, who was speechless, then looked at Zhu Ping, snorted coldly, and remained silent.

There is no doubt that once again, the two of them have chosen immediate interests.

The little man Zhu Ping suddenly asked, "Baron Bes, in the contract signed between the king and you, isn't there only a hundred gold coins for a shipload of grain?"

Why is it now three hundred? ”

"It is also written in the contract that the price will fluctuate a little, and the final interpretation is left to the Kingdom of Gaia." Every time Ness said this, a smile bloomed on his face.

As if this sentence was funny.

Zhu Ping smiled: "There are some fluctuations up and down, if it is a few percent, three times is too much!" Such an unreasonable agreement, bringing it to the Holy Country, will also be regarded as a commercial scam! ”

"The Kingdom of Orlanton buys, the Kingdom of Gaia sells, it's just free trade, what doesn't meet the rules of the Holy Kingdom?

I didn't force you to have enough to buy it, and if you don't welcome Sir Ben, then Sir Ben will leave now, and never stay longer. Beth scoffed, turned around and walked away.

Xiao Nong hurriedly stopped and reassured: "Sir Beth, don't be angry with such a hairy boy. ”

"That being said, this baron has gone too far!" Bass looked aggrieved.

Lin Zheng stepped forward and interjected: "Indeed, after today, we will show His Majesty the King and let him punish the other party severely." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, acted with each other, and scolded Zhu Ping openly and secretly for a while before they stopped.

Zhu Ping lowered his head silently, and in a few words, he already had a general understanding of what the situation was on the field.

The current situation is very easy to understand, that is, the simplest and most straightforward "dumping of agricultural products".

Sell a large number of very cheap agricultural products to a certain kingdom, and destroy the original agricultural ecology of this kingdom with very low food prices.

Specifically, in this matter, at the beginning, the price of grain in the Kingdom of Gaia was lower than the "shipment price" of Orlandon's own farming.

This is just the first wave of food, and when they need it, a second ship, a third ship.

The aristocracy of Orlanton was overjoyed by the abundance of grain, and the high quality and cheap agricultural products did not allow them to pay high employment costs, as well as transportation and management costs.

Therefore, the aristocrats of Orlanton, large and small, naturally will not give up this fat mouthful, and it is natural to buy as much as they want.

Correspondingly, their family's cultivated land or territory will naturally not be "idle".

It can be enclosed together to raise sheep, build a manor, or simply plant a lawn for recreation.

Buying food and using the land for more valuable things became the best solution for the Orlanton aristocracy.

Even if they can detect that the price is wrong and there will be undesirable consequences, they will eat it willingly.

The price will be as usual for the first year, which will surprise the nobles.

The next year, the price remained the same, which would make the nobles lose their vigilance.

In the third year, when the price skyrocketed, multiplying several times, the nobility had no power to cope.

Because their own farmland has been completely destroyed, farmers have been driven away from their land......

For example, Na Da and Na Er were driven out of the land and went to the city to make a living, how can they return to their original land?

Even if the peasants returned to their original lands, how could the nobles be willing to give up the lands they had gathered?

Even if the aristocracy does not "strip and cut" people for the first time, or even return the land, how many years can it take for the backward agricultural kingdom of Olland to restore its original ecology?

With regulation, it will be very difficult to restore food production within a few years.

Not to mention the subjective initiative of the nobles of Orlandon who did not control out of their own interests.

Therefore, for a backward kingdom without import and export trade protection, "dumping" is an unsolvable problem.

When Orlandon wants to establish the agricultural ecology again and restore it, the Kingdom of Gaia will engage in another wave of dumping.

For a fee, you can get a steady stream of money from the nobles of Orlanton.

Baron Beth had a fearless smile on his face and said, "Two viscounts, don't you invite your old friends to sit in Orlandon?" ”

Just now, he has torn his skin and threatened others with war, and the next one has begun to call him a brother, and this feeling of love and hate makes Beth feel very fulfilled.

However, Zhu Ping decisively refused: "The king has recently been improving the sanitary environment in Orlandon, so he may not be able to entertain outsiders in the next few days."

However, the only three of us who participate in the competition, just like you said in business, let's settle this matter first! ”

Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng pretended not to hear.

Beth's smile stiffened a little, and he smiled, "Since the two of you don't want to let your old friends go into the city to rest, Sir Ben won't say more."

It's just that in the future, most of them can only be in business, so if the prices of these agricultural products fluctuate again......"

"Specifically the next transaction, under what circumstances, one time is talking." Zhu Ping interrupted the words of the two viscounts, took the contradiction on himself, and also made Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng lose the idea of compromise.

The environment of civil strife in Orlanton must not be known to outsiders, otherwise the next time it will not be a question of sincerity or insincerity, but a question of whether they want the sky-high price of food.

Then Bess looked unkind and said: "A ship starts with 300 gold coins, and there is no cap, so start bidding from the first ship." ”

After that, he looked at Zhu Ping, thinking about how to use words to provoke and sell at a higher price during the auction, so that the two viscounts would hate this little man.

However, Zhu Ping's next move was completely unexpected by him.

The little man who came in a hurry turned his head and left, as if he had never heard of the order of dignity and humility, like the command of the superior to the inferior, and said:

"Two viscounts, these grain kings don't want a line, you can divide them fifty-fifty!"

In one sentence, the trade was finalized.
