327: Drag
"Hahaha. President Falk was right. Now we really make a lot of money, and it's really cool to watch those untouchables reluctantly take out money to buy food. A businessman laughed.
"yes. I set the price at fifteen times, and I didn't expect that there would be people who would come to buy it, and the grain sold in one day today alone was almost a tenth of what I had stored. ”
Falck shook the wine glass in his hand, "Don't be too anxious one by one, and set a little bit of the amount of food you sell every day." After that, the price will only get higher and higher, and they have just too many people. ”
"Oh no. The city government officially announced that because of a special relationship, it decided to open a granary to sell grain, and the price was only twice the original price. At this moment a panicked servant ran in.
"Double? Looks like they're being pushed by us. Hurry up and tell someone to go and buy me all this cheap food. The merchant next to him said with a laugh.
"No, I can't. The city government stipulates that you need to have your own valid documents to buy food, and outsiders like us can't buy it at all. Moreover, everyone still has a certain amount of food to buy, and they can only buy that little bit every day. The servant said.
"President Falck, what are we going to do now? The merchant next to him asked.
"What do you need to do? Now almost all the food in the people in Stormwind City has been purchased by us, even if they move the granary out now, how long do you think they can support it with their little reserves, this is just a drop in the bucket. It won't be long before not only those untouchables, but even their Stormwind will have to buy high-priced grain from our side. The expression on Falck's face was relaxed.
............
"One by one. Everybody has it. "There is a long queue of old elders at the entrance of the city hall, all of whom have come to buy food.
"Emily, what's going on over here. Allen's figure appeared in the back.
Emily, who was helping here, wiped the sweat from her head and said, "The remaining grain in our granary is only enough to support us in Stormwind City for five to ten days." And the latest wave of grain harvest will not be until a month later, and that amount will not meet our current needs at all. ”
"Five days! That's enough. Alan nodded,
Five days later, I'm almost ready to start a counteroffensive, and then I'll leave those guys with nothing to lose.
............
Time passed little by little, and impatience began to slowly appear in Stormwind City, but there was still no big problem under the pacification of the police team.
At this time, a group of people appeared in Stormwind City.
"Lord of the Castle. Lone Wolf Fort in the west, and the messenger of Water Joy City in the east has arrived. ”
Alan put down the things in his hand: "It's strange that people from such places would come." ”
"I don't know. Look at the way they look with a lot of things. ”
"Take them to the parlour, and I'll be here later." ”
"Yes. ”
Entrance to the city hall.
"I didn't expect this Stormwind to be so well designed. Merlin stepped out of the carriage and looked around with a sigh.
Along the way, they had been stunned by the various buildings in Stormwind City.
Stomp.
"Young master, this one seems to be still hard. It's not dirt. Tim, who was next to him, stomped the ground with his foot.
"Hmph. Waste of money. At this time, a yin and yang strange voice came out, and a richly dressed man walked out.
"Big brother. Merlin lowered his head slightly.
Mebs looked around contemptuously: "Hmph, at a glance, you can tell that this lord of Stormwind City is a fool who has spent so much energy on building these strange houses and roads. ”
"Young Lord Mebbs is right. But that's fine. Maybe we'll be able to go home with a full load this time. Another man walked out, and it was Edmund.
"Haha. I've heard there's a lot of good stuff here. And the elves. There was a glick in Maebs's eyes*.
"Hahaha. Young City Lord Mebus, you can rest assured. We'll get what you want. Edmund smiled sinisterly, "But what I want more is their griffons, and their muskets." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. This is a good thing, since I saw the Empire's Ziying Musket Team, I want to have a musket team of my own, but unfortunately the Empire does not allow muskets to be sold, and our lone wolf castle only has one from my father. Mebs shook his head.
"Hahaha. Musketeers, we'll each have our own musketeers when we go back this time......" Mebbs and Edmund had proud looks in their eyes, as if they were already theirs.
Merlin next to him frowned, but he didn't say much.
"My lord, my lord, please come to the meeting room, please come with me. A soldier walked out.
"He didn't even come out to greet us in person, this guy is still so annoying after not seeing us for a while. Maebs seemed to remember what had happened, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Alright. Young Lord Mebbs, he'll show the attitude we want in a minute, maybe we'll have a beautiful elf on our bed tonight. Edmund laughed and walked inside.
Led by the soldiers, they came to the meeting room.
"Young Lord of Mebbs, General Edmund. It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I don't know what happened to you guys coming to my Stormwind City all of a sudden. Allen's figure appeared in the innermost position, and when he saw their arrival, he didn't mean to stand up to greet them.
Mebbs immediately felt insulted to his identity.
But he was stopped by Edmund next to him.
"Alan City Lord. We're here to hand over friendship with Stormwind. Edmund didn't say anything and sat down directly across from Allen.
Mebbs: They sat down with him.
"Friendship, I don't know what you mean by that. Alan squinted.
"We've heard that there's a shortage of food and high prices in Stormwind right now. That's why we've brought our stuff to help you this time. We brought a lot of things, food, snow and stones, and all kinds of supplies. A smile twinked at Edmund's lips.
"Is General Edmund trying to give us these things unconditionally? Then I really want to thank you all of us in Stormwind. Alan put on a very grateful expression on his face, and almost hugged Edmund directly.
Edmund's face was stunned, when did he say he was going to give them things unconditionally?
"Ahem. Lord Allen, you may have misunderstood what we meant. We can't come all the way and don't have anything. In fact, we want to sell you what we have at a very low price. Edmund said with a smile.
Alan smiled, "I don't know how low the price is." ”
"Then take sixty or seventy percent of the price that is now common in Stormwind. Edmund said with a smile.
Sixty or seventy for the price now?
Now the price of those things in Stormwind City is dozens of times better, even if it is sixty or seventy percent, it is still a high price!
Alan suddenly understood that these people had come to pretend to be good people.
The shortage of materials and food on my side is only a matter of this time. They can't get the message so quickly, gather the good things, and send them over.
Then there is only one possibility, they knew in advance that there would be such a crisis in Stormwind City!
Alan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm sorry." Now that the economy of Stormwind City is very bad, it is impossible to spend so much money on your things, and it seems that you are going to make a trip for nothing. ”
"We know how difficult Stormwind is right now, but......" Edmund's eyes flashed with a golden light, "but you can trade something for something." ”
"I don't know what you want. Alan said with a smile.
"For example, muskets, griffins, things that explode, and even ...... Something else precious. Edmund said with a smile as he looked at Allen.
"The elves don't have a problem. Mebbs, who was next to him, suddenly added.
scold
Alan understood it all, they wanted to put on a posture and get what they wanted from themselves.
Do you want elves? What a beautiful thing they think.
"I see...... Alan tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking.
"Alan City Lord, as long as you want, these things of ours can relieve your current crisis, and we can also give you a little more discount on the price. Edmund seemed to have seen it at this time, and the man was going to beg him to lower the price a little bit.
Hmph, griffon, it's not going to be its own!
"I thought about it. ”
Edmund said with a smile: "I knew that the city lord of Allen was a witty person, you traded with us for a certain reason, and then our Lone Wolf Castle and Water Joy City were also willing to ...... with Stormwind City."
"I don't buy it. ”
"Alan City Lord, you agreed, then let's talk about the ...... of this deal" The excited Edmund was suddenly stunned, and he looked at Allen: "Allen...... Lord, you ...... What did you just say?"
"I thank you very much for your kindness. But I thought about it and forgot it. So a few of them, please come back. Alan stood up and patted the clothes on his body, his expression was very flat.
"What are you talking about? I'm telling you, we're willing to sell you something, that's to save face. Maebs suddenly stood up and yelled at Allen.
Edmund's face next to him also changed: "Alan City Lord, have you really thought about it?" Have you ever thought about what would happen to your Stormwind City like this? ”
