Chapter Eighty-Seven: Soaring Prices

The city of Al-Bayda, the governor's palace.

Earl Pierce, who had received an excuse to intervene, not only did not fail to rejoice, but frowned even more.

It seems that the nobles of northern Xinjiang and the local nobles are fighting bloodied, but in fact, the battle between the two sides is still within the rules.

Except for those noble lords who led troops to rob people who were involved, they did not engage in expanded revenge, and most of the local nobles still stayed out of the matter.

And most of the nobles involved in this turmoil, except for a few who joined on their own initiative with greed, can have something to do with the Dalton family.

originally wanted to use the power of the local nobles to drive out this group of outsiders, but he didn't expect it to develop into the younger brother of the Dalton family and the PK of the northern Xinjiang nobles.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the battle for the territory, and the territorial border conflict that should have broken out failed to make waves.

This is an inevitable result, there is not a single living person in the territory, who has the time to care about the problem of the enclave.

Even if you want to solve the enclave problem, you have to have a certain economic foundation. Now it's all no man's land, what's there to fight about.

Blame the little brothers for doing bad things with good intentions?

Earl Pierce wasn't that stupid yet.

Maybe the younger brothers are not good or bad in terms of ability, at least there is nothing wrong with their loyalty. The boss gave a hint, and he didn't hesitate to come out and charge.

failed to pull all the local nobles into the water, but they also pulled dozens of families in, which cannot be regarded as a complete work in vain.

Hatred can be piled up, it seems that it is just bullying a nobleman, but in fact, it is a circle behind you that is offended.

It was not mixed in, and that was because the benefits were not enough. Everyone joined forces to beat up the nobles of Northern Xinjiang, but in addition to a bad breath, they could not get more benefits.

Even if they drive people out of the southeast province, it is the Dalton family who will benefit the most, which is the fundamental reason why everyone chooses to wait and see.

Of course, Adrian can't be counted.

When grabbing people, he worked hardest, shouted the loudest slogans before the fight, and directly put it up as soon as the battle broke out.

originally thought that this product could drag the Coslow family into the water, but he tossed it so much, and the Coslow family, who got cheap, stood on the shore and had fun, so how could they jump into the water.

It turns out that as long as your backstage is hard enough, even if it's just a random mess, you can still make your opponent's scalp tingle.

No, he couldn't get the desired statement from the nobles of Northern Xinjiang, so he confidently brought the lawsuit to the Governor's Palace.

So much so that Earl Pierce now didn't know whether to reward him or arrest him and scold him.

"Pass the order, implement the second plan, and first give a warning to those guys in the northern Xinjiang, so that they know who is the master of the southeastern province.

Inform all the fiefdom lords in the two counties, and in ten days I will personally go to the city of Dadir to mediate the recent dispute. ”

The order of the kingdom is still there, and the duties of the governor must be fulfilled.

Secretly you can fight no matter what, but once it's on the table, you have to follow the rules of the game.

Attacking the nobles' territories for no reason is strictly forbidden by royal decrees. If the rules can be trampled on, where can the small and medium-sized nobles have a sense of security?

……

The city of Dadir, or the ruins of Dadir. After a simple repair of the city by the serfs who were snatched back, Baron Sith finally had a place to stay.

Among the nobles of the northern frontier who went south, the Sith was already the best mixed. Other nobles were still cleaning up the ruins of the castle, and he had already moved into the castle lord's mansion.

Especially with the merit of leading a group of northern Xinjiang nobles to launch a counterattack and regain the people, his reputation in the group is also rising.

There are many people who are popular, and within a few days of good days, trouble will come to the door.

The lawsuit of the Governor's Palace is nothing, and it is a matter of nonsense. Although it suffered a loss, the actual loss was not large.

did not cause serious consequences, it was nothing more than to let the little brother involved come out to apologize and promise never to do it again. At most, it is a symbolic loss, and it should be a lesson.

Compared with the loss of face, the pragmatic northern Xinjiang nobles still pay more attention to the inside.

"Dear Baron Sith, we have come to ask you for help. I can't live this day.

Soon after the counterattack was launched, prices began to soar. I thought that because of the tense situation, profiteers deliberately raised prices, but I didn't expect prices to soar even more after the war.

rye, which soared from three copper coins a pound to seven copper coins; peas, which soared from two copper coins a pound to five copper coins; The price of wheat also soared to ten copper coins; The inferior table salt, mixed with sand and soil, soared to one silver coin per list......

In short, the prices of all commodities are soaring. One price in the morning, another price in the afternoon.

Reasoning with those guys, I didn't expect that those profiteers didn't give face at all, they looked like they would buy if they wanted to buy, and they would pull me down if they didn't buy it, and they also ridiculed me as a barbarian in Northern Xinjiang.

In a fit of rage, I ordered the men to be arrested. As a result, no caravans have entered my territory since......"

Speaking of the back, this iron-blooded man almost cried.

It's too much to bully the aristocracy. Such an arrogant merchant is rare in the entire continent of Asrant.

For the aristocracy, the face is as big as the sky. If you are also a nobleman, you can just say a few words. Just businessmen also dare to do things, that is, they are suspecting that the knife in their hands is unfavorable.

Even if you don't do anything on the surface, you will retaliate secretly. A large part of the caravans that disappeared in vain were made by the nobles.

"Baron Sith, Knight Daeron is telling the truth. These businessmen are so arrogant that they don't take us seriously at all.

Not only are prices being raised, but even the quality of the goods sold is getting worse and worse.

In the past, profiteers at most mixed some old grain into the new grain; It is a miracle that a new grain of wheat can be found in the midst of old grains.

Look at this bag of wheat, you don't need to grind the flour, you shake it and it becomes flour......"

"Knight Justin, don't embarrass Baron Sith. This is the case we all encountered.

I can tell you the truth that prices are skyrocketing, not only in Wright and Wyton counties, but in the entire southeastern province.

To be precise, this round of price surge is just a surge for us. Local aristocrats can still get cheap goods by virtue of their connections.

The price of other commodities has risen, and we can find ways to reduce consumption, but not food.

What's more troublesome is that now is just the beginning, and what we need to face next may no longer be the question of whether the quality of food is good, but whether we can buy enough food.

I spent a lot of money to buy a grain merchant, and I learned from him the astonishing news that the nobles of the southeastern provinces are likely to stop selling grain to the outside world this year. ”

Baron Bazel spoke in astonishment.

I knew that the local nobles were not soft persimmons, but I didn't expect their revenge to come so ruthlessly.

Directly lead the troops to fight, and everyone will not be intimidated. But as soon as you come up, you will be out of food, how can you take it?

Finally won a counterattack war, which was supposed to be a time to celebrate victory, but the happy event turned into a tragedy.

For the lords of Northern Xinjiang, the people in their hands have become a hot potato. The more populous a province is, the faster it consumes food.

Once the inventory in hand is exhausted, everyone has to go hungry. It is still the sacred duty of the lord to feed the people, and it cannot be shirked at all.

Being preemptively announced the answer, Baron Sith was slightly unhappy in his heart, but there was no change on his face.

"Baron Bazel is right, the native nobles of the Southeastern Province are indeed showing signs of blockading us.

Mainly in recent days, everyone has tossed too much and offended too many people.

This time the price skyrocket, it is the family behind these guys who secretly tossed it out.

Of course, there must be a lot of help from the Dalton family, and it is even possible that they are the real masterminds behind the scenes.

The purpose is to drive us out of the southeastern provinces. ”
