Chapter 587: Rolling Wealth II
Long Hui Ling finally survived its first winter.
Luckily, those who chose Shuin did not suffer from hunger or cold this winter.
160 years of the Seven Yao calendar.
On the first day of spring January, Long Hui led the new year.
From the third floor of his mansion, he watched the singing and dancing lords in Navarran Square, and Xiuin was very satisfied, especially when he saw the happiness and satisfaction on the faces of the lords, and Xiuin felt a sense of pride.
But the leader of Long Hui faces another dilemma, that is, the financial income that is still in deficit.
There are also the various burdens that come with a large population.
Rebi's city defense force was at full capacity, with hundreds of thousands of people spread across the plains around the city of Navarran, and if it were a patrol from south to north, it would be an hour's walk alone.
Therefore, not only did the city defense team need a large number of soldiers, but more importantly, in order to maintain the security environment that Xiuin had always emphasized, the cost of Rebi's city defense team even exceeded that of the Knights of Abissa.
The Nazr family's industry in the sea to the east was only a scratch in the face of the huge and somewhat bloated Long Hui Ling.
Although it is fortunate that a large number of farmers gathered in Longhui Territory can finally reclaim the land and plant crops this year, it is ......
Crops are not harvested until autumn......
A lot of food is needed, and food can be bought, but the price of food in this season is not only high, but the total amount of money that is enough to buy also requires a lot of money, and in this case, what Long Hui Ling needs is money.
The gold ore savings brought from the original Morrowind Collar have been depleted in order to fight the previous year's winter, and the ore veins in the Longhui Collar are not abundant, so they are only enough for their own use at present.
The operation there on the Keha Mountain Road has just passed the winter, and the ground has been frozen hard in the winter, and it may be difficult to have a large collection before the middle of the year, and Xiu Yin also knows that he cannot directly let those workers work in that place where the energy reaction is very strong, and at least a reasonable excuse is needed to move that place.
But now there are no excuses......
But there is also good news, and that is the greenhouses that are built in the fall.
A large number of greenhouses not only allowed some of the people to survive the cold winter, but also the crops inside grew very smoothly under the care of the greenhouses.
However, due to the trial of the greenhouses, and the lack of labor and materials to build more greenhouses, the crops from the greenhouses were not large, and if they were supplied to the people of Navarland, they could only last until the summer.
Reiner, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Paro, the Minister of the Interior, and Milner, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, all appeared in the residence of Xiu Yin as soon as the revelry of the people had subsided.
There is an imminent crisis in the realm, and of course the three of them have to come and talk to Lord Xiuin.
"Lord Lord, if you don't plan as soon as possible, the money given to the officials will not be able to be cashed in at that time!" "Reiner is responsible for the income and expenditure of such a large territory, and he is responsible for the entire Longhui Territory.
Unlike the three of them, who looked a little worried, Xiu Yin was very indifferent.
Xiu Yin also just thought of it, after Paro reported the situation of the greenhouse, Xiu Yin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, because he also thought that in two days he should send Charlotte to contact Pizarro, the ninth prince of the Bofeng Empire.
If the magnates of the Seven Yao factions like Moonstone......
As soon as he heard Paro finish talking about the greenhouse, Xiu Yin thought of a good idea.
"Don't worry, guys. ”
Xiu Yin is already confident.
"Uncle Reiner, you contact Prandley, the president of the Lower Autumn Leaves Chamber of Commerce, and ask him to go on a trip to the Storm Empire with Charlotte tomorrow. ”
"Eh, why is that?" Reiner was puzzled by Xiuyin's arrangement, and Prandley, the president of the Akiba Chamber of Commerce, also migrated from Wastewater Town, because of the loss of the support of the grain industry and mining, the situation of the Akiba Chamber of Commerce was not very good, and Prandley also had some doubts about some of the arrangements of Lord Xiuin.
After all, Prandley was not a descendant of Xiuin, and Reiner knew this, so he questioned what connection the financial crisis would have with Prandley.
And even if it was a business activity, Reiner felt that Lolita of the Nazr family seemed to be a better candidate, after all, the strength of the Nazr family was much stronger than the strength of Prandley's Chamber of Commerce.
Foreign Secretary Milner's mind was spinning fast, and he could already guess some answers by reading Shuin's words.
"My lord, are you going to sell the crops in the greenhouse to the Wave Wind Empire?" Milner confirmed his speculation to Xiune.
"Milner is right, that's exactly what I wanted!" replied Xiuin.
Sell all the fresh fruit and vegetable crops in the greenhouse to the Bofeng Empire, and only sell them to the upper echelons of the empire. Fresh ingredients are definitely much better when eaten than the food left over from the previous year.
Even if you are not a foodie, fresh food is definitely not the same enjoyment as old food, and Xiu Yin believes that this is definitely a business opportunity, and importantly, the powerful do not care about fresh food that can increase the price several times in order to enjoy it!
After hearing this, Paro and Reiner also understood, and praised one after another, saying that the lord's idea was very clever, and he sold the fresh crops to the Wave Wind Empire at a high price, and the money in exchange could buy cheap grain, which was enough for the harvest season of the Dragon Radiance Collar in the autumn.
But...... There was not much joy on Foreign Secretary Milner's face.
Seeing this, Xiu Yin asked, "Milner, is there something wrong?"
"A little. Milner didn't know if Lord Xiuin had considered it, so he replied, "To send a large amount of goods to the Bofeng Empire, and it is also a grain crop, it is the fastest to go to the northern port of Xingshui Town, but Xingshui Town has a high cost of crossing the river, and the ships are completely monopolized......
Milner voiced his concerns.
Xiu Yin questioned Milner when he thought that Milner had been an envoy to the Bofeng Empire as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he probably went to Xingshui Town, and it seemed that he had also experienced the situation there.
Xiu Yin also had an experience in Starwater Town, so he arranged for Prandelli to be in charge of arranging this matter.
Originally a black and white character, Prandley is also active in the northern part of the Starlight Kingdom, and is much more sleek than Lolita of the Nazr family, and is also familiar with all aspects of matters.
There is no better person to deal with the greed of Starwater than Prandley.
And when the convoy officially hit the road, he would arrange for Abissa, the head of the Knights, to escort him, and as for the monopoly of the ships, Xiu Yin already had an idea.
