The Rune Canal needs to be renovated and is estimated to cost 300,000 gold coins.

The families of the city defense army and the members of the guard who died need to be bereaved. A total of 800,000 gold coins.

........

In the face of these astronomical figures, people may show emotions such as euphoria at first. will unconsciously sigh at the insignificance of people in the face of disasters.

But if it's a resignation that comes in every day, and you need to go through it over and over again. It is inevitable that these numbers will become numb.

Although this disaster will be recorded in the history books, a hundred years of natural disasters and thousands of corpses. Wayne was in no mood to pay attention to any of this, as he thought disaster relief was important. Moreover, the war situation on the Eastern Front is tight, and he must free up his hands to help Marshallese them.

On top of that, Nolan, the food in the territory doesn't seem to be enough to feed these affected people. He needed more food, and he needed the help of the nobles.

So he personally went to the homes of various nobles to ask for help.

Boris warmly received Wayne and invited him to admire his garden.

But there was no mention of reinforcements.

Wayne doesn't have Boris's Archen.

"Count Boris, I have come this time to discuss the matter of food. I am not satisfied with you that the food shortage in the imperial capital and these large and small cities is very serious. If there is no food to eat, it is estimated that many people will starve to death. ”

Boris was interested in it and smashed his mouth.

"Wayne, it's not that I don't want to. Recently, the south has not been peaceful, and many coastal fishermen have been unable to catch fish, so they also want my food. I really don't have any extra food reinforcements. ”

Wayne said quickly.

"Count Boris, this grain is paid and will not be taken in vain. ”

Boris shook his head.

"Wayne, it's not about the money. If I really have extra food, I will definitely ship it over immediately without charging a penny. But I didn't. ”

Wayne shrewdly grasped the information point and quickly asked.

"Count Boris is saying that there is food, but not with you?"

"Yes, I am not satisfied that you said that my grain was bought by those grain merchants. You know, they have a very smart nose, as long as the imperial capital is affected, the grain will definitely rise, so they will store a lot of grain. ”

Wayne fell silent, which was not a good thing.

These grain merchants will not be good people, and if they don't raise the price of grain, they will be sorry for the word businessman.

Boris showed him a way, to the grain merchants, who had a lot of grain.

Wayne didn't stay much either.

Go back quickly and call the grain merchants.

These fat-headed and big-eared businessmen also responded immediately and rushed over immediately. It feels like knowing in advance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the Imperial Capital and the surrounding cities need your help. I made it clear that I would like to buy food from you. I hope you will agree. ”

The merchants glanced at each other.

One stood up and said.

"Of course, Count Niels, this is good, we have earned money and solved the dilemma of the imperial capital. Best of both worlds. ”

Wayne nodded in satisfaction, wondering if things were going a little too smoothly.

Another merchant stood up and said.

"Count Niels, I wonder what the price of the grain you are buying?"

Wayne said.

"Three silver coins and one rial. ”

Wayne's price is fair, a lot higher than usual.

Not only that, Wayne continued.

"I know that if you buy it directly in the imperial capital, you will definitely make more than that. I can also compensate you for the tax reduction. ”

The businessmen smiled at each other.

Even if the tax rate is directly reduced to zero, it is not as much as they make in the imperial capital. In the present situation, they could sell their grain for four gold riyals.

And the cost was less than two silver coins, and it was close to twenty times the profit!

"Count Nils, I find this a bargain that we find unacceptable. Our grain can buy four gold coins in the imperial capital, but you only give us three silver coins. The promised tax rate is far from enough to offset the difference. ”

In the face of interests, these merchants were obviously a little carried away, forgetting that they were facing a nobleman, and an earl. Wayne tries to keep himself from using violence, but that doesn't mean he won't!

Wayne knew that he couldn't talk to this group of businessmen, so he took out a piece of paper and said directly.

"Your Majesty has ordered that all grain merchants who dare to take the opportunity to raise prices will be decided!"

This made these grain merchants make some bets in their hearts, this is the emperor's order. But the forces behind them are not weak, otherwise they would not dare to raise prices so unscrupulously.

"Count Nils, it is estimated that it was your words that caused Your Majesty's miscalculation. I think it takes the unanimity of several other adults for us to approve this resolution. ”

"Yes, I think we need the consent of the other adults. ”

....

Wayne knew that the adults these businessmen were talking about, and it must have been Cologne, Boris, and them.

He found himself in a trap, and he thought that Boris was not too hostile to him, at least not like Cologne. But now Wayne has to admit that he was wrong.

Boris is a venomous snake hiding in the shade, more dangerous, vicious, insidious.

He asked Boris for help, and he asked himself to find grain merchants, but these grain merchants said that they had to get Boris's consent. It's a game of kicking the ball. Boris played himself!

But Wayne thinks it's a matter of what to do, the ball is really unskilful. He felt he should teach Boris how to play.

"Come on, take these people down for me!"

In an instant, many soldiers in steel armor poured out from the barrier behind Wayne, and immediately captured the merchant who had just looked proud.

"What are you doing, Count Nils, I warn you not to think that you can really do whatever you want. Someone will deal with you. ”

"Count Nils, you'd better let me go, or you won't get a grain of rice. ”

.....

Wayne was surprised that no one knelt down and begged for mercy, and it seemed that this group of people was a little hard backstage.

But no one seems to be harder than him backstage, behind him, old... No, Your Majesty the Emperor.

With a clang, the grain merchant was sent to prison. Boris and Earl Cologne were also the first to get the news, and Wayne's move was somewhat unexpected. However, they are also prepared, and now there is a reason to attack Wayne.

Obviously, tomorrow's court meeting will be a large-scale tearing scene.

Both sides are ready, one is the male and female duo of the husband and wife combination, and the other is a group of old men who have been suppressed for a long time and have been formed temporarily.

At the moment, the situation is not very clear.

It is unknown who killed the deer on both sides.
