Chapter 148: All Prices Are Rising (8/10)
Instead of continuing to stay at the front line, Chi Nan ran away ahead of time under the pretext that he wanted to go back to prepare pea cannons and pneumatic cannons.
Those nobles are also very smart, since there is no way to buy pneumatic cannons, there is always no problem with pea cannons. So a group of people used various means to send orders to Hongshaling from different ways.
These orders were faster than their own, and when they returned to the territory, they found that the orders had piled up like a hill. Hemira struggled through the hills, looking at herself with resentful eyes.
In the end, Chi Nan had no choice but to dodge by himself. Moreover, now there are more and more nobles who come to their own territory, even if the road to Hongshaling is not easy to walk, there are always nobles who want to come in and have a look. His own small castle is also becoming more and more insufficient, and it seems that the planning of Red Sand City really has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
"My lord, there is one more thing now, I don't know if it has any effect on us, you can see for yourself. ”
Hermila angrily handed over a piece of information to Chi Nan, who took it embarrassedly, and her eyes widened when she saw it. "Is this the self-regulation of the market, how is the price rising? ”
Hemira glared at him: "During the war, it was normal for the price of various materials to rise, although this time the magnitude was large, but it also showed that the impact of the beastman disaster was too great. It's not this that I'm showing you, it's this. ”
Hermila leaned over Chi Nan and pointed at the form. Chi Nan was a little absent-minded, because the softness on Hermila's chest touched herself. That's right, Chi Nan felt it, he was sure. Are the women of this world so open, they don't even care about this. What Chi Nan didn't notice was that Hermila's face was also a little red.
Carefully stepped back a little, and a sense of loss flashed in the hearts of the two people at the same time.
"My lord, are you listening to me?" Hermila grimaced, looking impatient.
"Listen, of course. I'll see, damn it, why is it so expensive!"
Chi Nan was surprised to find that at this time, many things began to rise in price crazily, and the most exaggerated was actually a pack horse.
"Lord, isn't that because your pneumatic cannon is so effective? A lot of aristocrats are lining up to buy. But the pneumatic cannon will not be able to buy it for a while, because there is no qualification to buy it. So they turned their attention to other things that could be used with the pneumatic cannon, the most precious of which was the pack horse. ”
Originally, pack horses were just a thing used to pull goods, and because of their strength and stamina, they attracted people's attention. However, it is too slow to run and is not nimble enough to be used as a mount at all.
But this is no longer the case, the pack horse is one of the few creatures that can freely drive the air cannon around, and it is not too slow. Therefore, the status of the pack horse has suddenly changed from logistics to special forces, and it has not improved a little bit.
The price of this pack horse has also risen again and again because of the crazy rush of a large number of nobles, and it has only been a long time since the previous battle, and the price of the pack horse has actually increased more than ten times.
And it looks like this price will continue to rise. "My lord, I heard that our territory is also going to buy some pack horses, and if this continues, I have no way of predicting how high the final price will be. ”
Chi Nan was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, anyway, so many gold coins have to be spent, even if the price is inflated, I admit it." It's a big deal that we'll reproduce on our own. ”
Hemira shook her head: "That's not that easy, if pack horses were easy to breed, they wouldn't have such a high price now." And my lord, the price of the flour and pea cannons we sell is also growing wildly in private, so should we raise the price of these things? ”
Chi Nan thought for a while and shook his head and said: "No, these things are military supplies, and we have already agreed with them before, there is no need to increase the price, on this, I don't want to make too much money, otherwise it will be very troublesome." ”
Suddenly, Chi Nan said, "But the scale of our tin tree is not small. The red sand steel can be sold, and these metals can be appropriately increased in price, after all, aren't these very necessary items? "Chi Nan plans to sell some on a small scale first, after all, do you want to advertise yourself first?
"And this, the price of slaves has been rising recently, should we come forward to explain. ”
"Slaves, what does this have to do with us? Why do you want us to come forward? ”
Hemira rolled her eyelids: "It's not what you said, you can use the population instead of gold, and as a result, those nobles go around collecting the population. Originally, they were refugees from the interior of Remas, but since the performance of the pneumatic cannon came out, they all seemed to have gone crazy. Now they're just buying slaves and earning the difference with ours. ”
"What else do they want to do?" Chi Nan never expected this.
"There are also some nobles who are using their power to hunt down robbers from other provinces, and even bring some civilians from the interior to us as refugees by various means. ”
Chi Nan didn't expect that these nobles were so crazy, they really didn't want any face for the gold coins. Perhaps, it was also because of the pneumatic cannon that these people thought that the beastmen would not be crazy for long.
After all, this kind of transaction was originally cut off at the recovery of Remas, and then it would stop. "Forget it, leave them alone, in short, let them do it themselves, it's not our own anyway. When the population grows, there are more ways to earn it back. "Population, after all, is the most important resource.
"But here's the problem, we still have to sell a lot of flour, and the population is getting bigger and bigger, and we are running out of flour. ”
Chi Nan frowned: "This problem will be solved soon, wait until I get a very universal chassis wood, and then you can plant any plants on the chassis wood." Okay, how is our mallard doing? ”
Hemila flipped through the booklet in her hand: "It has been sent out, and it is expected to take more than a month to send it to the third princess." Hemira is still very concerned about this.
"Is it going to take so long?" Chi Nan frowned a little, he originally wanted to sell it, but now that he was not short of money, Chi Nan wanted to send it to Sophia and ask Sophia to help him change it into a bronze-level plant. At this moment, at the level of bronze, Chi Nan has faintly touched a little edge.
