Lynn's move to let Lauder sell grain in batches puzzled the councillors present, and the safest way to solve the current crisis was to put a large amount of cheap grain on the market in one go, so that the nobles and grain merchants would retreat.

"You don't want to take the opportunity to empty the savings of the nobles and wealthy merchants, do you?" Raphael guessed.

"You can say the same thing." Lynn nodded, and in his opinion this might be a rare opportunity.

If these people have been staying in the territory and being their landlords with peace of mind, it will not be easy for them to find a reason to clean up the remnants of the old era.

"However, in this way, the high price of food may affect the stability of the entire kingdom." One councillor frowned and said that the price of a loaf of bread had now risen five times as much.

If it rises tenfold or twentyfold, there will definitely be a mess.

"There's no need to worry too much about that, as long as we increase the food supply in the workshop, mine, and academy from one meal to three meals a day!" Lynn said categorically. "The kingdom can't be in chaos!"

Now most of the people of the entire kingdom have been included in the operation system of urban magic, and the army, railway construction, various workshops and civilian academies are these areas, covering almost more than ninety percent of the population of the eastern, central and southern territories of the kingdom ruled by wizards!

The remaining nobles and merchants are not under their control, and these people also have good assets and do not need to worry about them.

Lynn's heroic universal rationing plan left Raphael staggered.

If the workshop ensures three meals a day, who will buy wheat and bread?

Of course, those who are trying to raise food prices......

Raphael thought of this.

Lynn's approach is equivalent to controlling the intensity of the grain war within a certain range, and it can even be said that it is completely out of touch with ordinary civilians, and directly becomes a direct confrontation between the parliament and the nobles and wealthy merchants!

"Is there really enough food in our hands?" Arad the Great Wizard spoke worriedly.

On the one hand, the council is responsible for supplying the rations of the entire kingdom, and on the other hand, it has to come up with enough food to fight a price war with the wealthy merchants and nobles.

"If wheat alone is not enough." A smile tugged at the corner of Lynn's mouth before she spoke. "But it's good that we can use magic to make bread!"

Making bread with magic?

As soon as these words came out, the members of the parliament present were shocked.

"Master Lynn, now is not the time to laugh!" Arad couldn't help but interrupt.

Although magic can do many things, and even mimic various elements, it cannot replace the real matter after all!

Relying on magic to directly solve the food problem is simply a fantasy!

The Speakers looked solemn, they all knew that the magic star was conducting research on the transformation of matter and energy, and it was not completely impossible to solve the food problem with magic.

However, in Lynn's own words, the energy required to convert one gram of matter is equivalent to a nuclear explosion, and it seems unlikely that it will be possible to feed the kingdom's three million people.

"Anyway, I already have a spell model for bread, and in a week at most, I'll be able to perfect it thoroughly!" Lynn swore an oath.

In order to meet the requirements of the star-rated voyage, the federation has invested a lot of energy in the technology of synthetic starch and cell-cultured meat, and all the research is very mature, and it is not too difficult to enchant it, and the raw materials are so simple that they can be seen everywhere.

Seeing Lynn's confidence, Raphael and the others looked at each other.

Creating food through magic, something that completely defies common sense, seems to be something that can be developed with a little research in the mouth of this magic star.

Several speakers were also a little speechless.

Let's just say that someone is developing new magic just too fast.

For example, the magic transformation equation for the promotion of legends, it only took more than a month from the time they caught the presiding judge Joshua, and they even took the time to make out the blueprints of an artificial sun......

I really don't know how his brain grows......

Harrov sighed secretly, and then said decisively.

"Since you have full confidence in solving the food problem, then do it!"

……

The day after the meeting, the first fifteen tons of wheat were sold at a price slightly below the market price, eight copper coins per kilogram, and then swept away in just half an hour!

Twenty tons, thirty tons...... Fifty tons, the price is getting higher and higher, and finally fixed at twenty copper coins!

But even so, the wheat will still be sold out after it is transported to various cities, because the market price of grain is now much higher than the selling price of Lauder, and as long as it is sold, it will be double the profit!

The rich merchants and nobles of the kingdom are all like crazy demons, and many of them have even pressed all their savings!

In just a few days, one kilogram of wheat has grown to fifty copper coins, a full twenty-five times the original amount!

And the price of a bag of white bread has skyrocketed to one silver coin!

Even the black bread that the dog didn't eat a few days ago costs forty copper coins!

In other words, a laborer who works hard in the magic workshop can only buy a few bags of white bread with a monthly salary, and he can't even support himself.

At the same time, in the fortress of the royal capital, Marquis Mortan held his wine glass high, looked at the nobles who came to participate in the secret meeting, and spoke in high spirits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we've won a total victory, the Wizards' Council must be in a state of flux right now, right?"

Count Herder hurriedly chimed in. "Lord Mortan's wisdom is not comparable to that of those wizards who study evil arts, and these mud-legged people probably can't even understand what the economy is......"

The rest of the nobles also praised the Marquis of Mortain's ingenious plan, and some even secretly annoyed that they were too cautious, if they had replaced all their family property with grain earlier, it would have multiplied dozens of times by now!

Amid the praise and echo, Mortan's face was filled with a smug smile, and he took a sip of the red wine in his glass, and then asked about the current purchase of wheat.

The attendant replied with a little excitement. "Back to Lord Mortan, we spent 70,000 Imperial Gold Coins, which is equivalent to two months' rations for the entire kingdom, and in addition, the rest of the merchants who follow the trend or want to make a fortune are also buying grain on a large scale, even according to the most conservative estimates, we have now bought enough wheat for three million people to eat for half a year!"

"Very good, very good!" Mortan nodded in satisfaction.

"However, Lord Mortan, contrary to what we expected, the mud-legged people in the royal capital don't seem to have any intention of messing up." Viscount Ske hesitated.

According to their previous predictions, the poor who cannot afford to buy wheat should have been unable to sit still for a long time.

"If I think even if they really starve to death, those untouchables may not really have the courage to stand up against the wizards who wield evil magic, even if they can't afford white bread, they can buy a few pieces of black bread mixed with grass to get by, and no matter how bad they are, they can also live by gnawing on the turf?" Count Bell shook his head.

He felt that Mortan and the others underestimated the patience and adaptability of those poor people, and when there was a famine in the territory in the past, he didn't give a single piece of food, so no one could still survive it?

"It seems that the price of wheat is not high enough now!" Mortan shook the wine glass in his hand and said playfully.

How can those poor people still be able to afford black bread?

Herder and the others clamored to raise the price of black bread to more than one silver coin, so that the untouchables could not afford to buy a few dollars until they died.

In fact, they have long been unaccustomed to the status quo of the royal capital, you must know that in the past, white bread was the exclusive preserve of the nobles, but after the wizards came, even the dogs of the royal capital could eat it, and now they are just letting those mud-legged people return to their old lives.

In the midst of the excited shouts of the crowd, the attendant hesitated to speak. "Lord Mortan, I got a piece of information when I asked the caravan to buy grain."

"I've heard from some laborers that the wizards' workshops are willing to provide free meals." The squire said cautiously.

The smile on Mortan's face paused for a moment, and his brow furrowed slightly, but it quickly subsided, and the mockery on his face became heavier. "It seems that in order to stabilize the situation in the kingdom, the council has really thought of a useful way, but I don't know how long they can raise millions of mouths!"

The nobles present were not intimidated by the Parliament's arrogant strategy of managing the food of the whole people, after all, it can be seen from the other party's frequent sale of a large amount of wheat at a low price that the Parliament still wants to bring down the price of grain!

Viscount Ske also reported good news at this time. "You may not know it, but the spies I sent found out that the wizards began to secretly harvest grain again at night after releasing a total of a hundred tons of wheat in various cities of the kingdom in the morning......

"Look, this shows that our guess is correct, and the council doesn't have enough food in its hands." Mortan laughed.

The parliament did not have enough wheat in its hands, and wanted to balance the price of grain, so the only way was to secretly buy grain from outside, pretending to have sufficient reserves.

"And how much are they going to spend on buyback?" Herder asked, sneering.

The wizards have killed so many nobles in the eastern part of the kingdom and plundered their property, and it's time to take it back!

"It's twenty-five copper coins a kilogram!" Viscount Ske said with a strange expression.

Count Herder almost thought he had misheard.

The rest of the nobles also had shocked expressions.

"What are you kidding, are these wizards crazy?" Count Herder said in disbelief.

Now the price of a kilogram of wheat has already exceeded 50 copper coins, and even the price of grain released by the council has exceeded 45 copper, and now the other party wants to buy it back directly at half the price......

What fool would want to?

Most of the people who came up with the idea had a problem with their brains!

"These wizards are stupid, ignorant and greedy...... "Mortan said sarcastically, but it's normal to think about it, how can a group of mud-legged people who used to hide in a dark corner suddenly take charge of the entire kingdom?

That's why I want to think that one is one out, and there is no logic at all.

Realizing this, Mortan completely relieved himself, drank the red wine in his glass, and talked loudly about the future of the kingdom under the rule of the nobles.

A small number of nobles vaguely felt that the Wizards' Council's unusual behavior of collecting food at a low price might not be so simple, but in this intoxicating atmosphere of victory, they quickly forgot some of their troubles.

In any case, they have achieved an unprecedented victory, and they are not worried about being liquidated.

Now it is not only these nobles who buy wheat, the first group of people who secretly promote the price of food have already been dealt with, and the wizards should not be able to find their heads for a while.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the Wizarding Council finally found out, and at the juncture of the imminent chaos in this kingdom, how dare you do anything against so many nobles?

Maybe we will have to rely on them to provide food to save the country......

"To the glory of the nobility!" A slightly drunken Mortan raised his right arm and shouted impassionedly.

Helde also raised his glass excitedly and drank it down, shouting loudly.

"To the glory of the nobility!"

……

Just when the nobles of the royal capital were holding a celebration, in the city of oil, Lauder, who had just gathered information, stepped into a large manor with his legs open.

It was once the residence of a local earl, and it was built in great style, but its former owner had long since been hanged on the castle tower, and now it is the temporary residence of a certain magic star.

Unlike the last time he came, there was an extra sign at the door, which said, "There are vicious dogs inside, idlers are not allowed to enter".

"When did Lord Lynn start getting dogs?" Lauder muttered to himself, his mind moving slightly, wondering if he should send one over the next time he came.

He heard that some of the big nobles of the empire have a hobby of raising vicious dogs, and they are not ordinary dog breeds, they have the blood of some magical beasts, and they look very magnificent.

However, this idea was extinguished the moment he officially stepped into the manor, because Lauder discovered that the so-called 'vicious dog' on the sign was actually a blue giant beast that was more than two meters tall and more than five meters long.

The most peculiar thing is that its body is translucent, with 'hairs' flowing like flames on the surface, and the masonry that touches with its four legs is actually burned into lava by the high temperature, and the terrifying aura emitted makes Lauder swallow his saliva.

Fortunately, Muto couldn't show the slightest interest in a two-legged beast that didn't even have magic power in his body, and when he saw that the other party was not a threat, he lazily closed his eyes.

Lauder wiped the cold sweat from his head, cautiously walked around the side, and after entering the inner room, he soon heard the noisy discussions inside, one of which was Lynn's voice.

"What do you think is food, why does it sustain the daily needs of a living being, and how does it grow?"
