After the purchase of slaves from the Grand Duchy of Starnik, it was already in August.

August is the autumn harvest season, because the territory has reclaimed a large amount of farmland this year, and the grain production is still increasing significantly.

With the addition of autumn grain and summer grain, this year's grain output has reached 26,000 tons.

With a population of more than 60,000 in the territory, saving 15,000 tons of grain is enough, and 2,000 tons of grain will be left for next year's grain, and 9,000 tons of surplus grain can be used this year.

Because of the heavy losses in the liquor market, less than 1,000 tons of grain were consumed in the brewing of liquor this year.

Last year 8,000 tons of grain were stored, and this year less than 2,000 tons have been consumed.

Today, there are 14,000 tons of grain in Haaland's territory.

Since the beginning of this year, the Haaland territory has been able to sell thousands of tons of grain every year to make up for the shortfall in the profits of liquor.

There is a high probability that there will be no war next year, and Richard only plans to reserve 6,000 tons of grain, and the remaining 8,000 tons of grain will be sold to the Duke of Edward.

This year, the Duke of Edward suffered a locust plague, and the grain production was severely reduced.

After the autumn grain fell, the fleet of Duke Edward's fleet came to Blackriver Fort and purchased a large amount of grain, and the purchase price was two layers higher than the market price. If grain can be transported to the Duke of Edward, the price of grain will be two or three times higher, or even five or ten times higher than normal.

However, earning this money may not save his life, and Duke Edward is not a good-natured person. Allows you to hoard Juqi in his territory and earn a lot of gold.

8,000 tons of grain were transported to Heihe Fort, and according to this year's grain price, 19,000 gold coins could be sold.

With this fund, the territory's income will skyrocket this year.

Richard transported the grain to Fort Black, where he met with Sanji Tara, who was in charge of the grain trade in Duke Edward.

Sanji Tara is the elder brother of Lady Tara.

Lady Tara was Duke Edward's court lady-in-waiting, and was very favored, having already fathered three children to Duke Edward.

It was through the connections of Lady Tara that Sangitara became Duke Edward's commercial agent.

Seeing that Richard had brought in a large amount of food, Sangitara was very happy.

After counting the grain, Sangitara did not negotiate the price directly with Richard, but invited Richard to a banquet.

Richard also wanted to see what medicine was sold in the Sanjitara gourd? So he followed Sanji Tara to the banquet, at which Richard met many acquaintances, Viscount Rohman, Baron Barcel, Baron Barton, Baron Green, etc.

These hereditary aristocratic territories have a large amount of farmland and are the largest grain merchants in Heihe County.

Counting the five nobles of Richard combined, the grain sold reached 60,000 tons.

Sanji Tara clapped his hands, and a team of more than thirty beautiful girls appeared at the banquet.

These girls are tall, scantily clad and have fiery eyes in their eyes, which makes them look very sexy and seductive.

The nobles present were all physically strong professionals.

Whether it is a knight or a warrior, because of the relationship between a strong body and full of energy, they will secrete more hormones and dopamine, and their desires are much stronger than ordinary people.

So the vast majority of nobles will have a very large number of women, powerful female knights, female warriors, and generally there will be a lot of men.

It's not about morality or immorality, it's all about hormone levels.

As soon as these beautiful women appeared, they gathered around the nobles, and immediately made Viscount Rohmon and the others blood gush out, revealing fire-breathing eyes.

Baron Barton's self-control was the worst, and at that time, regardless of the occasion, his ugly appearance was revealed, and it seemed that he had to make a shot, and he could only be sober and sober when he entered the time of the sage.

Although Richard was also aroused by desire, because of his strong mental power, he was more sober than others. He narrowed his eyes, pushed away the sexy woman who came up, and said directly: "What does Mr. Sanji mean by giving us this hand?" ”

"I just want to entertain you and thank you for selling us food. If you like it, this batch of beautiful women can be sold for everyone to enjoy. ”

This year, the Duke of Edward's territory was severely affected, and the overflow of locusts reduced the territory's food by seventy.

Although Duke Edward has 100,000 tons of grain in stock, more than 2 million people in the territory are waiting to be fed, and some of the 100,000 tons of grain are military food, and the grain reserves are far from enough.

Although Duke Edward had a lot of gold coins, he was unwilling to take them all out to feed the serfs and the people.

Seeing that the food shortage was still very large, Duke Edward came up with an idea to exchange slaves for food.

Sell a slave for one less mouth, and a strong slave in exchange for enough food for fifty slaves for a year. This is both open and economical, and the slave-for-grain trade is perfect for this year's Duke of Edward.

Duke Edward knew very well that strong slaves could strengthen his territory, so he planned to sell as many female slaves as possible.

Especially the beautiful slave girl, who can be sold for a few hundred gold coins. Being able to sell one would allow Duke Edward to feed five hundred, or even a thousand, of ordinary people in a disaster year.

Sanji Tara showed a group of slave girls with the highest price tag this year, and the most beautiful ones were not even inferior to Sophia and Wendy's best, but because of their low background, their temperament was not good.

In previous years, female slaves of this quality were basically sold in the royal capital, and they were usually high-value goods exclusive to the great nobles.

Hearing that Sanji Tara was willing to sell these beautiful women, even Viscount Rohmon was a little moved, and immediately asked for four girls with the largest breasts, at the price of five hundred tons of grain.

Viscount Rohman has a high prestige, and the woman he wants is not dared to compete with others.

Seeing that Richard had no intention of buying, Baron Bazel, Barton Barton, and Baron Green scrambled to bid.

The three of them even fell in love with the same beautiful slave girl, and Baron Barton paid four hundred tons of grain to grab this beautiful slave girl.

According to this year's grain prices, 400 tons of grain are about 1,000 gold coins.

The gold coin of the Grant Kingdom weighed about sixty-five grams, and this beautiful woman was only one hundred catties, and the price paid by Baron Barton was more than one hundred and thirty catties of gold.

"It's horrible to have a brain occupied by hormones."

Richard looked at the few people speechlessly, walked out of the banquet hall, and calmed himself down first.

Although the most beautiful slave girls were not bought, the trade of slaves for grain was very viable.

After Baron Bazel and the others completed the deal, Richard talked to Sanji Tara about exchanging grain for slaves.

Because Richard was only willing to accept slaves with a complete family, the Duke of Edward eventually sold 800 slaves in exchange for 8,000 tons of grain.

Of the 800 slave households, 300 of them had no males, only 500 strong adult male slaves, 1,300 adult female slaves, and the remaining 2,600 slaves were all old people and children who could not be sold.

After completing the slave trade for food, Ray looked at the population and found that the population of the territory was more than 68,400.
