I don't know when the price of food in the Blackstone Bazaar has risen by several percent before people can react, and in a few days, it has almost doubled compared to before. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And even so, every day, as long as a merchant comes out to sell grain, within a moment, a group of people who come out of nowhere will immediately buy it, and this abnormal phenomenon is naturally seen by everyone.

Most people are very confused about this, because this situation is too abnormal, and now it has just entered October, according to normal speaking, it is the time when every household has sufficient grain reserves, and the grain of the last season has just been in storage for less than two months, and it is not possible to consume it so quickly to the extent that it is necessary to start buying grain, so it becomes a little intriguing to buy grain at this time, and it is so crazy to buy grain.

The food of the orc tribe mainly depends on the beast, white rice or other crops only account for less than one percent of the normal food consumption, therefore, the price of the beast is equivalent to the benchmark of the price of food in the other world, and now in less than half a month, the price of the beast has doubled, even if the beast is worthless, but it is a very terrifying thing for ordinary orcs with the same low consumption level.

This means that the money that was originally saved up until the winter in exchange for food is likely to only be able to buy back less than half of the food in the plan, which is absolutely devastating for ordinary orcs who have been struggling to make ends meet.

A panic gradually spread around the Blackstone Market, and those small and medium-sized tribes who knew the situation began to come to the Blackstone Market one after another to inquire about the situation, and more directly inquired about the Blackstone Workshop, in their opinion, the Blackstone Workshop was now the giant of the entire market, and it was natural for them to be aware of and explain this abnormal situation.

However, those who went to inquire gradually found that the Black Stone Workshop also seemed to be a little helpless about this situation, and although they were at a loss at the beginning, they were full of confidence, and then gradually even the Black Stone Workshop seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of panic and helplessness.

Instead of abating, the panic in the bazaar intensified, and it seemed to spread throughout the area with the passing merchants.

At the end of September, the price of the beast was about 3 catties of a copper coin.

At the beginning of October, the price of the beast was less than two catties of copper coins.

In mid-October, the unfavorable price reached the level of one copper coin per catty, and at the same time, Blackstone Fang also released the news that the production of the relief was reduced to half of the previous supply.

In late October, Blackstone Fang announced that the sale of the worry was temporarily suspended, and the price on the grain purchase notice that had been put out also mentioned the sky-high price of three copper coins per catty.

However, at this moment, the whole area does not seem to pay much attention to the matter of relieving worries and stopping sales, or at all, because the tribes in this area are all in a panic of lack of food.

This wave of grain buying frenzy came so quickly that the unsuspecting tribes only happily sold their surplus at a much higher price than the market price, and when they reacted again, they found that their grain was no longer enough to support their harvest two months later. And when they came back to buy grain at this time, the price of three copper coins and a pound sent them all into hell, and even this price was already priceless, except for the Blackstone Bazaar at this moment, it could not receive a single grain in other places.

Three copper coins and a pound of beasts ignore what is the concept, an adult orc, a day to consume 5 to 10 pounds of food, in order to be full, the average is more than 7 pounds of consumption, no matter how to save and reduce exercise, an average of 5 pounds of food per day, in order to ensure their normal needs, so that they will not be hungry and unable to walk.

If you calculate according to this value, a person will consume 15 copper coins a day, ten people is 1.5 silver coins, a hundred people is 15 silver coins, and a thousand people is 1.5 gold coins・・・・・ how crazy this value is, just look at the annual output value of these ordinary orcs.

You must know that when Xiang Luya first came to the market, if you don't count those straw wolves and soap, you can only exchange them for a few silver coins at most, which means that they can only exchange less than a hundred people for a day's food after working for a year. Moreover, the private money of Old Henry for more than ten years after Lu Ya won the old Henry's shop was not enough for the people of the entire Blackstone tribe to eat for a day, which shows how crazy the price of food has been at this time.

"President Cod, the purchase price of this grain is not under our control at all now, and it has risen to a sky-high price of 3 copper coins a catty...

"This price is a bit unexpected by me, but I think it's normal, hum~ It is estimated that some people who are not self-sufficient have hoarded a batch of food when they saw the price increase, but it doesn't matter, just accept it, and when the time comes, I will let them double it and return it back" Kede still had a calm expression.

"President Cord, now that a small half of our property has been invested, if the Blackstone tribe is holding out for two months, we won't be able to hold on for a while."

"Yes, President Cord, the pressure on our side is also very strong now, and the heads of those tribes are looking for us every day, and if this continues, I'm afraid that one day they will directly send troops to cut us down."

"That's right, if those people are hungry and crazy, even if they are in our capacity, they still have to do it in order to survive."

One after another, many businessmen talked about their current difficulties and pressures, and Cord's brows furrowed a little when he heard it.

"There is no turning back from the bow, if you give up now, it will really be a waste of work, then the Black Stone Workshop has stopped production to solve worries, this is definitely good news for us, and they have also begun to buy food, which shows that there is not much food in their clan, as long as we resist the pressure at this time, we can win." As for the tribes that come to you, you can be flexible with your own disposal, first appease them with low-cost food, and even give some rations to those small tribes for free. But you must remember that you can only give them enough food for their own use, and this must be controlled."

After listening to Cod's explanation, those businessmen also understood that it was almost impossible to stop at this time, if they stopped at this moment, although they could earn several times the difference by this wave of monopoly, but their business journey here was over, the current humans and orcs have not completely torn their faces, even human beings will never allow their own people to use such inferior means to seek the wealth of orcs, this violent and crazy means is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, and the effect obtained is likely to be counterproductive, which is also inconsistent with the strategic policy of human beings towards orcs。

At this time, if they resist the pressure, then what awaits them will be countless wealth, if they give up, they can only take the money and roll back to the human territory, and they will never be able to do business again, and even the wealth they bring back may be scraped off by those vampires. After figuring this out

The eyes of these businessmen gradually flashed with a hint of madness.

"Hahahaha~Good!Good!Good!" Cord's laughter suddenly came, and everyone looked at him to see a subordinate next to him who seemed to be reporting some news, and it was obvious that this was good news for Cord.

"Hahaha, the Blackstone tribe finally can't hold on, I just received the news, the Blackstone tribe has sent people to the five major tribes and the Giant Stone City to ask for help, it seems that the time for our harvest is coming soon, hahaha・・・・・・・・・・・"

That night, five more of his men from the Cod Mansion galloped out of Boulder City on horseback, and they went to attack and defend the five tribes in the alliance respectively, and they had already sent two groups of men and horses to negotiate with the five tribes briefly, and this time they were obviously going to confirm the news.

Then the other chambers of commerce involved in this matter also ran overnight, and before dawn, hundreds of convoys with all kinds of exquisite gifts also drove to the five tribes, which was what was promised to the five tribes some time ago.

In the evening, at the gate of the boulder city, a luxuriously decorated carriage was quietly parked on the side of the city wall, and the slender palm gently opened the door curtain, "I really let him say it, hum, let's go, go to the city lord's mansion・・・・・・"

Compared to the panicked air of other tribes, if outsiders can come to Blackstone City to take a look, they will find that Blackstone City, which should be in the middle of the whirlpool, is still vigorous and peaceful at this time.

The second phase of the expansion project outside the Black Rock City has begun, basically according to the distance of 500 meters outside the original city wall to re-establish the city wall, once this circle of city walls is built, the current city wall will become the inner city wall, and the area of the Black Stone City has increased several times.

Under the city wall where the cement was being poured in, Lu Ya was smiling with the old man watching a wrestler slave constantly use the foot-operated cement mixing bucket to produce a steady stream of cement, and after the cement was mixed, it would immediately be shoveled into a giant oval 'water wheel' with tools by the ordinary slaves waiting here with tools behind him.

In addition to the shape of this waterwheel is different from the normal waterwheel, the power mode is also different. At the end of several transmission rods extending from the bearing of the waterwheel, there are also several wrestler-level efforts are sweating on the pedal, with their stepping, the giant waterwheel will be suspended and rotated on the shelf, and the waterwheel was originally used to hold water in the tube is full of cement, these cement with the operation of the waterwheel when it reaches the highest point when it turns back and begins to pour downward, all poured into the city wall grinding plate that needs to be watered, the whole process is extremely smooth and fast.

"What's new here?" House walked briskly towards Ruya not far away.

"Hehe, the irrigation truck, it's being tested, what, there's news over there" patting the dust on his hands, Lu Ya left the iron old man alone to stare here, and then led House to the simple pergola on the side to sit down, and immediately the two guards poured a cup of hot water for each of them.
