The rain in the sky has been falling, and the city of Santa Fe in Elamand is particularly quiet on a rainy day. Most of the small vendors on the sunny street didn't know where they had gotten to hide, only the storefronts on both sides of the street were still open, and occasionally a few customers in heavy raincoats walked in.

Although Salt's prowess and strength made them not as fearful of the growth of monsters in the rainy season as the people of the Central Plains, there was still trade between the various cities of Elam. But the business has been affected to a certain extent. Most of the merchants formed brigades for safety, and then hired warriors to protect them from city to city.

And in order not to affect the business of Thunder Cliff, Mo Yan also sent dozens of patrols on some of the roads built by Thunder Cliff. Kill all the monsters that appear on the side of the road, or add them to the training team to replenish the team's losses in battle, and these patrols are not supplied by Thunder Bluff.

They will eat the monsters they killed, which will not only allow Thunder Cliff to save some food to make wine and sell it for money, but also protect the safety and smoothness of the route, so that those merchants can come to Thunder Cliff to trade with peace of mind. If you don't take into account the fact that most of the monsters also have to go through combat training, or go on patrol missions at night.

Mo Yan really wanted to send all these monsters that needed to be supported when the number of monsters increased in the rainy season, so that they could hunt and eat other newly born monsters, so that Thunder Cliff could save a lot of food to make money. Judging from the current development trend of Thunder Cliff, it will cost a lot of money to expand the city and build the Iron Fort in the future.

And in a place that Mo Yan couldn't see, a conspiracy against Thunder Cliff had begun. In the black market of various cities in Elam, there are some merchants who exchange gold coins of Thunder Bluff. They are willing to exchange it for Thunder Cliff gold coins at a price of one to one. In other words, ten Thunder Cliff Gold Coins can be exchanged for eleven more Salt Gold Coins.

At the beginning, no one wanted to believe in such a good thing. After all, the gold coins of Thunder Cliff can be exchanged one-to-one with the Salts, as long as you go to the bank opened in the city by Thunder Cliff, you can immediately exchange for the Thunder Cliff gold coins you need, why buy them at a high price in the black market.

But with the success of the first person to eat crabs, everyone finally believed that there was such a fool in the world who was willing to buy Thunder Cliff gold coins at such a high price. And then some people with bright minds began to wonder why someone would be willing to buy Thunder Cliff gold coins like this.

Obviously, the person who buys it at such a high price cannot really be a fool. People who can get into the business world and have a large amount of money to buy gold coins will not be unable to understand some obvious things, then there must be a mystery that they do not know, and many merchants have begun to wonder about the identity of these merchants. Or ask if there is any big change in Thunder Cliff.

After some brief inquiry, the identities of the acquirers who did not hide their identities were already known. They belong to the Flanders Chamber of Commerce, which has just risen to become a big chamber of commerce, and it is said that this time the Flanders Chamber of Commerce has invested almost all its money in this, no matter how large a large number of Thunder Cliff gold coins are exchanged.

The Flanders Chamber of Commerce is already well-known in the business world, and under the leadership of an old man named Luthor (name determines fate), the Flanders Chamber of Commerce has risen rapidly with its grasp of opportunities and decisiveness. Some time ago, he predicted the outbreak of the Great War in advance, quickly hoarded a large amount of food to raise the market price, and made a lot of money from the monster city that was said to be making money, and quickly became one of the top chambers of commerce in Eland.

Now that the Flanders Chamber of Commerce has such a move, it must have received some kind of rumor that made it so anxious to acquire the Thunder Cliff gold coin. After understanding this, some small chambers of commerce quickly followed suit, and began to purchase Thunder Cliff gold coins like the Flender Chamber of Commerce, and for a while, the Thunder Cliff gold coins in the hands of Elan merchants began to concentrate in the hands of a small number of people.

The gold coins set up in the banks of Thunder Cliff in various cities were quickly exchanged for by a large number of merchants, and they had to ask Thunder Cliff to ship new Thunder Cliff gold coins during such a rainy season. However, it takes time for new coins to be shipped, and in the face of such a sudden surge in demand for gold coins, the purchase price in the black market has even heated up to the point of 1 to 2.

In other words, if you want to exchange Thunder Cliff Gold Coins from the black market now, you have to exchange one for two Saltt Gold Coins, and now this price is still priceless, and it may still increase in the future. Some of the big chambers of commerce, which were originally cautious, couldn't resist the temptation to join in after seeing such a situation.

A large amount of money was injected into the ranks of the sudden rise to acquire the newly issued gold coins of Thunder Cliff. Makes the already hot market even hotter, and some merchants even go directly to Thunder Cliff to exchange for gold coins. After the newly minted Thunder Cliff gold coins were also sold out, Mo Yan also noticed this unusual situation.

"Today, there are 100,000 gold Salt coins shipped from various cities. Lilith looked at the second temporary vault that was overflowing, thinking that the minotaur in front of her was secretly surprised, so she smiled and said, "And our Thunder Cliff gold coins have also been exchanged for the same amount, if these Salte gold coins are newly minted into Thunder Cliff gold coins, we can almost build three or four iron forgeries." ”

"Spend money. Mo Yan's face did not have the joy that Lilith imagined, and looked at the golden warehouse in front of him and said with a solemn face: "Hurry up and spend money on me, no matter what." Buy it for me immediately, buy it in large quantities, buy as much as you want. I'm going to spend all these Salter coins for me within half a month. ”

"Aren't you happy?" Lilith asked with some surprise, "And don't you want to mint all these gold coins into new Thunder Cliff gold coins?" In that case, our assets have almost increased several times out of thin air, and now that we have spent all this money, then we will not have enough funds to prepare for the construction of Ironforge Fort, at least leave 20,000 yuan, right?"

"There are some things you don't need to understand why. Mo Yan didn't explain anything, turned around and left the vault where the gold coins were piled up outside the door and said: "Also, let all the banks exchange Thunder Cliff gold coins in limited quantities, and all those who want to exchange gold coins must show the commodity purchase contract of Thunder Cliff, and they will exchange as many gold coins as they buy for as many goods as they want." ”

Lilith didn't ask anything when she heard Mo Yan's words, she just held a pen and recorded Mo Yan's words. Although Lilith was curious about why Mo Yan was worried about the huge benefits that Thunder Cliff had gained, she was smart enough not to ask about things that she shouldn't ask. If he asked Mo Yan, not only would he be displeased, but he would also not get the answer he wanted.

After returning to the office, Mo Yan quickly summoned Regel and asked him to find out how many people were investing in the gold coins of Thunder Cliff. After arranging a series of things, Mo Yan sat in his chair and relaxed, and took out the file he had put in the drawer.

This file is what Mo Yan got from the SS last time, and the last time he proposed a tariff barrier called Lauren's young man. In the upper left corner of the file, Lauren's not very mature face is drawn in the form of an SS sketch of an intelligence searcher.

This young man from a peasant family, although he was not from a merchant family, his intelligence is worthy of recognition. After Mo Yan looked through Lauren's file again, he looked at the young man with slightly messy hair and muttered, "Is this the new method you came up with......?" Are you from the same place as me? ”

Just when Mo Yan was in his office, thinking about how to properly deal with the problem in front of him. In the place chosen as the Ironforge Fort, the newly excavated mine had been dug a little deeper. Kobolds, who are almost born to burrow, and with the huge number of cave goblins, they mine extremely fast.

Because of the use of the new Daxin steam engine as power, the minecart being pulled in the middle of the mine can quickly send the excavated stones and minerals to the surface, so the excavation depth can advance tens of meters every day. Now in the depths of the mine, a large number of kobolds are digging with pickaxes. While tinkling and digging, they also kept an eye on the goblins around them.

As soon as one of the goblins became tired, or didn't work very hard, they would rush up and eat it. A small ration a day is not enough to satisfy the stomachs of these goblins and kobolds who do heavy work. Adding food in this way will not only weed out unqualified goblins, but also make them more powerful.

At this time, a goblin leaning against the wall of the mine was obviously a little unmoving. The goblins and kobolds around him noticed this, and slowly slowed down the work in their hands, staring intently at the panting goblin, their hungry eyes always full of cold light. After a few more moments, the moment the goblin stopped the pickaxe in his hand, all the goblins and kobolds around pounced.

Sharp teeth and claws that had been used to dig tore the overworked goblin apart and shoved it into its mouth. Perhaps because there were too many goblins rushing over to share the food, they eventually broke through the rock wall that the goblins had dug up, and a pitch-black brick passage appeared there.
