European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 177
Cargo ships full of food set off from Hastings Port one after another. Li Peijun was driving a huge declining financial balance every day, so he felt so awkward. For the future strategic layout, at present, he can only rely on issuing public bonds in exchange for Sol hold on.

Socia suggested with a complaining tone: "Why didn't you set the price of grain lower at the beginning, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a mess now. Five times the market price is indeed a bit exaggerated. I think three It’s enough, if the price of food in the future is slightly lowered, I think the county chief will still be happy to transport food to us."

Li Peijun ignored it, focusing on the amount of food shipped back at his desk, and calculating the other party's inventory balance. Suo Xiya was anxious, and deliberately touched the other party's back with her elbow, trying to attract attention .

"It seems that the number of acquisitions has exceeded the expected target. No wonder why I think the cost is so high. The follow-up price is increasing by 20%. I plan to deliberately urge him to act faster." Li Peijun finally came to his senses, but All of a sudden, the words were astonishing. Not only did they not plan to lower the price, but the move to raise the price really puzzled people.

"Are you crazy? If the other party has a good harvest this year, we can all take part in it. Even if you don't lower the price, it will be no problem to maintain the original level of purchase. There is still time." Socia sighed, this time The risks involved are extremely high.

Li Peijun disagrees, "There is not much time left. Although the public debt is still two-thirds due, and the duration of the war is already very reluctant. This is a big gamble. The Chamber of Commerce said that East Sussex The grain in the county is as usual, without much fluctuation, and the bulk grain nearby has been collected by us, so there will be no problems."

"If you want to catch the prey you want, you must release enough attractive bait." Li Peijun's eyes were firm, and he stamped his own seal on the approval document for the price increase and sent it to the chamber of commerce.

Port Hastings, Britain

Seagulls soared between the sea and the sky. After autumn, the English Channel returned to calm. There was no turbulent scene in the past. With the uniform shouts of sailors, bags of grain were carefully loaded on board again. cargo ship.

Sheriff Edwin was worried about the loyalty of his subordinates, so he simply supervised the entire transaction process. After all, no one would know if there were boxes of silver jewelry stolen.

In order to deal with the grain collected in the county, the sheriff also thoughtfully vacated a warehouse near the barge mouth for the free use of the Chamber of Commerce. Originally, the Chamber of Commerce was unimpeded in Hastings Port, and now its influence is even greater. In contrast, Edwin was so excited that he almost gave up his belief in God.

"Oh, my God, they are all rare treasures. If the nearby county chiefs find out, they will definitely be jealous of me. No, such a large amount of wealth must be hidden. Oh, no, these poor people are so poor. If guys dare to take advantage of me, I have to give them some trouble." Attlee was already a little incoherent, and the seeds of desire were planted in his anxious heart.

Since the grain sale was concluded with the Harfleur Chamber of Commerce, Sheriff Edwin felt richer than ever. Although the surplus grain in the county was too low to last for a month, he turned a deaf ear to the grim situation. Optimistic, he Not yet aware of the strangeness around him, his mind is all on the grain trade.

"County Chief, I'm afraid the sale of this grain is going to bottom out. Winter will come in another month, and the autumn harvest is coming to an end. If there is no surplus grain for the winter, this..." There are many people under him who are sober, But how can Edwin listen to it? Now that someone wants to stop him from making a fortune, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

"Sheriff, listen to me..."

"Shut up, don't you see the wealth coming towards us? This is God's favor for us. The entire county's tax revenue for three years can't cover this single transaction. Are you out of your mind? If you have money, if you can’t buy anything, just go to a nearby county to buy something as an emergency.” Edwin interrupted roughly, but he didn’t turn his eyes towards the other party for a second.

"The bulk grain in the vicinity has been sold out, and now there is no way to buy a grain of wheat. If you really want it, you can only negotiate with the nobles of the manor. However, we have a big gap, and the production of a manor is not enough. "The subordinates risked their lives to persuade, regardless of Edwin's anger.

"Let's talk with your fists. I've seen a few guys who are not pleasing to the eye. Taking advantage of this time, I will flatten them all and let these youngsters have a taste of what it means to be a real knight." Edwin said wholeheartedly. They all swelled up, and after the pockets hardened, the waist became straight.

"Can…"

"Come on, take some of the spices you bought back and sell them in the market, and issue a call-up order. I will arm a huge army and kill the vigor of these little bastards." Edwin thought more and more. Not at all, just a pat on the head to make a decision.

Not far away, Aoke on the pier waved to them and looked from a distance, as if signaling the sheriff to go over.

Edwin rubbed his big belly, jokingly said: "Your Excellency Oke, thanks to Harfleur's grace, we have also enjoyed endless wealth, do you know? I have more and more money on the table every day. Put several dried fish on the table."

Seeing how rich the sheriff is, the serious Auke couldn't help but tease, "If the sheriff has tasted Harfleur's food, the cargo ship will probably sink."

"Oh? Is there any difference in the food there? Compared with the royal family's meals, how different is it?" Edwin subconsciously loosened his trouser pockets and stuffed his belly in with great effort.

"The lord has a different view on food. The food cooked by him is worthy of the Gospel in the Bible, and it gives people the ultimate taste enjoyment that will linger and linger." Aoke described it vividly, but Edwin on the side Hungry.

"Next time you have a chance, can you bring me some taste of the legendary gospel-like food? I also want to feel the feeling of being purified." Edwin couldn't help thinking that he was bathing in the holy light, while Enjoy the delicious food while listening to God's teachings.

Aoke resigned helplessly and said: "Come across the ocean, the sea breeze alone is enough to make the flavor disappear. If you have a chance, Mr. Sheriff, please come to Hafleur to taste it yourself, but then again, I will ask the Sheriff Your Excellency has something important to discuss about this grain purchase."

"Oh? Have Harfleur collected enough grain? But right now I don't have much left over here. It seems that both parties are working very happily this time." Edwin guessed.

Aoke laughed and shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, we still need a larger batch of grain. The price offered this time has increased by 20%. I hope the sheriff can think about it."
