Violet Imperial Capital, Maple Leaf City.

Gemstone prices continue to rise, and have been the same as the previous prices, but the gemstone market is still out of stock, and it is estimated that the price will rise in the next few days.

The major gemstone dealers are in a hurry, and some time ago who said that the price of gems would fall, and the firms shipped cheaply. Now, the price has skyrocketed, and there is no supply. Who said that Depero led gems to be prolific, and only 500 gems were shipped in a month, so many trading houses were about to fight.

There are gems in the magic guilds! They have a two-percent stake.

The Magic Guild came out and said that the shares are 20%, but there are also a lot of magicians! Magic jewelry, wands, and staffs all use magic gems, and they are all short of gems.

The dwarf kingdom also said that the dwarves have weak magical abilities, and they are ready to mass-produce magical heavy armor, and they need magic gem inlays, and their own inventory is insufficient, and they want to go out to purchase them.

Several big commercial houses were completely dumbfounded, and they were also carefully preparing for a long time, pushing down the price of Depero's gemstones, and they were ready to make a big purchase. Now there are suddenly a lot fewer gems, and magic gems are one price a day.

Even the Thorn Flower Merchant Company was short of gems, and it took a few visits to the castle to ship a thousand gems, which was still for the sake of the friendship between the two families. But the price is the market price, and the friendship is the friendship!

Di Lisi of the Roland Comptoir also looked for an old fellow, who was soft and hard, and bought a thousand gems at the market price.

There are no other trading houses, and if this continues, the gemstone business will be doomed.

The gems shipped by Depero recently are all small gems with small quality flaws, and good quality gems are hidden in rings.

Evan also set up a gem black market in Depero City, where Evan made his own shop, wearing a transfiguration mask, and was a middle-aged businessman. The price of gemstones is 10% higher than the market price, and merchants come to buy them every day, and the flawed gems are sold out these days.

Evan looked at the good quality gems and raised the price by one percent, and the fat dog lay on his stomach opposite the store. An old customer came, and when he heard the price, his brows furrowed.

"Boss, your price is not right, why has it risen again!"

"The quality is good, at this price, I heard that there are no gems in the south now, I am reluctant to sell these, I want to press the goods for a few days to see, or you wait a few days to come!" Wait for the price to rise again! ”

"Let's take a look at the goods, wait until the store is closing!"

Evan took out a bag of gems and poured them on the table, each of which was of the highest grade and a little larger.

"I bought it, but it's a little less, is there anything else?"

"How much?"

"Five hundred!"

"Yes."

Evan took out the gems, and they were all of the same quality. The merchant took out the high-quality magic crystal to pay, the money and goods were cleared, the merchant left, and he took the guards with himself. With such a large deal, there will be no less guards.

"Fat dog, go back and have a good meal! It's a lot of money. ”

The fat dog lying on the opposite side grinned happily, there was something delicious to eat every day when he went back, what was lying on his stomach.

After a while, another person came, and when Evan saw it, it was actually old Rhodes, who also bought gems. Old Rhodes bought a thousand the day before yesterday! The Thorn Flower Firm's business won't be so good! Depero Castle bought a thousand, and it has only been a few days, and it is impossible to sell out two thousand gems!

As soon as Old Rhodes asked the price, the price rose by another tenth, and he didn't have any expression, so he directly asked for two thousand gems. Evan was chatting with old Rhodes as he took the gem.

"Boss, why did you buy so many gems, three thousand in three days! Business is so good! The boss has made a fortune! ”

"I'm also a buddy, whatever the boss tells me, I'll do it, how is the business, I don't just ask."

"Modesty, what kind of guy would carry a large sum of magic crystals! You're too careful, I won't ask, the money and goods are cleared, you go slowly! ”

Evan put away the magic crystal, and old Rhodes also took the gem out of the store. Evan thought to himself that it was estimated that he was hoarding, and there were 4,000 gems before and after. I'm going to ask the old guy about the price of gems, the old guy has been in the imperial capital these days, and he is staring at the price with Abel. In just a few days, I've sold more than 50,000 pieces here.

Evan closed the shop and went back to the castle, but the fat dog didn't move, still lying there. As a cunning fat dog, it strictly follows Evan's orders and goes back before dinner.

In the castle living room, two old guys are there, leisurely drinking black tea. Ivan took off his mask and poured himself a glass.

"How much do the gems out there cost?" I'm afraid that it will rise again, and I will come back early if I sell too low! I've sold more than 50,000 gems in the past few days! It is still higher than the market price of one percent, and today it is mentioned that two percent, the Thorn Flower Company directly bought two thousand, which is a bit wrong! ”

Evan said, taking out two boxes of magic crystals and giving them to the two old guys. Depero retracted the box, the old guy said.

"These gem merchants are crazy, they are stockpiling, and the gems outside have risen by more than ten percent, and you will sell them tomorrow at the price of two and a half percent, and sell the small ones and the second ones, and keep the big ones of the highest quality. Everything else is shot, don't they like to stock up! Just let them stock up more. ”

The old guy smiled sinisterly, he had been exhausted for the past few days. De Pero nodded, he also knew that now was a good time to ship.

"Keep the highest quality and largest gems, all the others can be sold, there are enough gems in the south, I'm worried too much, the market can't eat these gems!"

"I feel the same way, we can't let the price fall. If the price drops, we will continue to ship in small quantities! ”

These merchants are really crazy about rising prices, and Ivan finds it difficult to keep prices high for long, after all, Depero's production of gems is amazing. Good quality gems are more valuable, these are not to be sold, these gems can be used for magic jewelry, and the flawed ones are not easy to deal with when the market is saturated.

The old guy also made a suggestion.

"In the future, when you pay taxes to the Violet Empire, half of them will be paid with gold coins, and half will be given some inferior gems, so it will save a lot of trouble! Depero is already the number one taxpayer, and Roland XI should know that we have difficulties, so we will pay it at the market price. Now too many nobles are hot-eyed, although we are not afraid, but we still don't mess with them! ”

As soon as Depero heard it, this is okay, and now the empire is staring at it. Let's not talk about the big and small nobles, especially the current Roland XI.

"Our Majesty! He was worried about the poor territory, and when the territory was rich, he was even more worried, and there were several times when the tax officer wanted to raise the tax, but I refused! ”

"He's pretentious, I see, he's not even as good as Dilis!"

The old guy has never had any good feelings for His Majesty the Emperor for decades.

"Then let the empire know our difficulties in the future, and the gems that are of good quality and large in size and suitable for magic will not be sold in the future. Let the outside think that the south side of Depero's territory is just a low-quality gem mine. ”

As soon as Evan said, the two old guys nodded their heads and gave them a thumbs up.

Imperial Capital Maple Leaf City Palace, Royal Council Chamber.

"In the past few months, the taxes everywhere have been about the same as in previous years, except for Depero. Depero has halved his taxes and the mine has been shut down for months because of the mining of gemstones. The tax is only half gold coins and half precious stones, and the fineness of the gems is not very good. ”

The 11th thought that Depero had deliberately reduced the tax and was somewhat annoyed.

"Have you sent someone to investigate? The mine is really out of nowhere! ”

The spy leader was sitting on the side with his face covered, and he had already investigated it clearly.

"The investigation is clear, the Depero Collar Mine has long been suspended, and there is no place to pile up the gravel and waste mines. We can only wait for a road to be opened in the rocky beach and the waste rock can be re-mined into the sea. ”

"What's the deal with inferior gemstones, isn't it a gem bonanza?"

The eleventh asked, and the head of the secret service had to answer as a matter of course, even though he had not gone to the gem mine, his people had also inquired.

"The gem bonanza is real, they are all inferior gems, only a few high-quality gems are produced in a day, and they have been taken away by the Magic Guild! Inferior gems are not easy to sell, and the mine has been shut down, so taxes can only be paid with gems! ”

The eleventh is much more relieved, and the lords below have not hidden the taxes.

"The gem was sent to the Roland Comptoir and handed over to Dilis to be dealt with."

Some time ago, the eleventh was thinking about raising taxes for Depero, but now it's okay, Depero's gold coins are not enough to turnover. Obviously it is an inferior gem mine, and these people below tell him that it is a high-quality gem mine. Now his plans were disrupted, and the eleventh frowned, and his heart was heavy.

"How's the place where Depero is planted?"

A minister opened a book and reported it.

"The grain is growing very well, and it is estimated that there will be a bumper harvest this year, but how to store more grain! There are not enough grain depots in various places, and it is too late to build them now! ”

"Sell it when the wheat is harvested, it's too far to the south. Sell them to the Northlands, for they are short of food. We won't be in conflict with the Northland for a few years, and no one will be able to fight without gold! ”

The 11th was also reluctant to sell grain, but repairing the grain depot was also a large amount of gold coins, so he could only take his time and build a few first.

The spy leader got up with a bloody hand to report.

"Someone from the remnants of the Holy See has gone to Depero to receive it!"

"What, Depero is colluding with the remnants of the Holy See?"

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. The remnants of the Holy See are basically abolished, and they have been cursed by the spell. There are four remnants of the Holy See who went to Depero to seek healing from the elves. ”

XI breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can't you just finish it all at once! I was amazed! ”

The spy leader complained in his heart: I just got up, and you will answer it yourself, and I can't interject!

"I'll write back next time! Be sure to be detailed! ”

"Well, the Holy City is now just these people, the civilians have run out, I heard that the curse spell is very powerful, and half of the remaining sins have committed suicide."

"Yes, Your Majesty, that kind of pain is simply worse than death! Secret agents are watching over there, and every day there are people who can't stand it and choose to commit suicide. I guess it won't be a dead city soon! ”

"It would be good if the elves came to the imperial capital, if they didn't farm in Depero's territory, they were rejected several invitations, and it was useless to make any conditions."

The eleventh generation hoped that the elven mages would come and help him, these thousand-year-old fellows were much more useful than the people below.
