Game of Thrones: Catastrophe
Chapter 27 - Chapter 27 Bread Price Rises
Leonor was speechless by Lan Li's words "knowing to judge". After thinking for a while, he felt that he was not a legal talent, and it didn't matter if he gave up such a name, so he turned his attention to the three of Balistans.
"Three sirs, what do you think?"
"I have no objection." Balistan shook his head directly, while Varis and Pychel next to him quickly followed, saying that they had no objection.
"Then let's decide this! Let's talk together when Robert comes back." Seeing that everyone had no objection, Leonor immediately decided on the matter.
After determining Lan Li's position in the imperial meeting and completing the comfort of the stormland, the imperial meeting officially entered the discussion stage, and Leonor and everyone entered the seats of the president's table to sit.
According to Leonor's prior request, Balistan and others formulated the problems they encountered as questions and then discussed them in different topics. The first speaker was Varis.
"Your Highness, King's Landing has a huge problem now and the most urgent problem is waiting to be dealt with. Whether it is Master Paich or Sir Balistan, they all think this problem is the biggest, so let's discuss it first." The fat on Rees's face was glossy and his expression was tense.
"Tell me the matter directly!" Leonor waved to ask Dorret to get some clean water for himself to moisten his throat.
"The price of bread in King's Landing has increased." Varis said a serious sentence.
"How much has it increased? Why has the price increased?" Leonor sat up straight, and the price of food increased, which is really not a trivial matter.
The residents of Junlin City generally use bread as their staple food, including black bread made of oats and wheat bran, and white bread made of fine flour. These breads are not expensive individually, but everyone cannot do without this thing, a bread If the price increases by one copper, then the 500,000 people will be 500,000 copper coins, which can be piled up into a mountain.
"There is a bronze star because most of the mills in King's Landing have been shut down and the supply of flour is insufficient." Varis did his homework.
"Why did the mill stop work?" Leonor was a little surprised.
"The capital garrison sealed the place, and most of the entire King's Mill belonged to Petir."
"Mr. Balistan, immediately let your trustworthy men unblock the mill and restore the mill's work." Leonor immediately asked Balistan.
"Yes." Without any hesitation, Balistan directly found a loyal guard and asked him to find someone to pass the order.
"Even if the mill is unsealed, the grain merchants are unwilling to sell their grains now. They plan to raise the price..." Varis's oily face became nervous. He was afraid of Leonor. What rough approach to solve this dilemma?
A group of profiteers who took advantage of the situation killed them and hung their bodies on tree branches!
A fierce thought flashed in his mind, and Leonor immediately suppressed his crazy idea.
The reason he killed Xiaowei was because this guy's biggest backer, Jon Ellin, was dead. He was confident that he could make up for the power vacuum after the other party disappeared and maintain the situation of the imperial meeting again. However, the merchants in King's Landing City were different. , especially grain merchants.
Food is a necessity for life. The grain merchants in Junlin City all have complex interests behind them. Behind them are the princes of Hewan and Hejian. They are all rich and soldiers, not as good as those of Little Finger. goods.
The saying "chaotic is a ladder" sounds very impressive, but in essence, it is that it is not strong enough, no soldiers or generals, and can only rely on catching up on the waters.
By the same token, Leonor does not have enough strength to kill all the merchants, nor does he have the ability to maintain the social situation that has lost them, so he can no longer think about killing them directly. He must use roundabout methods to make them willing to sell their food.
"What do they ask?" Leonor tried to ask.
Shh, Varis felt relieved when he heard Leonor not directly shouting for fighting and killing, and at the same time sighed, thanks to the Seven Gods, this prince is not only good at fighting and killing.
"Make money." Varis expressed the needs of the merchants.
"How much do they want to make? Do you want me to open the national treasury for them!" Leonor asked sarcastically.
"That's how merchants are." Varis sighed. The nobles were always full of contempt for groups outside of them. When merchants were not satisfied, how to deal with these guys was also a headache.
The conference table fell silent for a moment, Dorret brought the water cup for Leono. Lan Li next to him listened carefully to the whole process. Seeing that Leono got the water cup and refused to drink it, he leaned slightly towards him and the others on the table. :
"Do you want to hear my advice?"
Leonor looked up at Renly and suddenly remembered that his brother had a friend from the Tyrell family. As the monarch of the river land, if he could handle this guy, at least he would do it. More than half of the businessmen.
"speak!"
"Let me talk to those businessmen, how about it?" Lan Li recommended himself.
"...Yes, I agree." Leono immediately gave support, and raised his head, looked at the others in the imperial meeting to ask for their opinions.
"Agree!" Balistan immediately agreed.
"Agree!" Varis nodded.
"Agree." Paichel also voted for approval.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Leono toast the water cup to Lan Liyao, and then drank it.
"Please leave it to me with confidence." Lan Li raised her chest and looked confident.
Seeing that Lan Li looked confident, Leono couldn't help but be curious. However, the imperial meeting was still in progress, so he couldn't ask questions, so he could only continue to discuss other issues in King's Landing with everyone.
The food price storm caused by killing Petir is the most important thing in Junlin City at the moment. Compared with this matter, there are disputes in other aristocratic territories, where the nobles sell slaves, etc. are all small things.
After completing the imperial meeting, Leonor wanted to go to Lan Li to ask, but unfortunately the brother left the Red Fort directly, making him lose his life, and he could only take Arad back to his residence in depression.
On the way back, Leonor asked Arad about his second brother Stannis's current movements on Dragonstone Island.
"His Highness Stannis has been fascinated by a god recently!"
"A god?" Leonor stumbled slightly.
"Yes, a god called the "King of Light", people also call him the "heart of the sacred flame" or the "God of Shadow and Fire", but here we are more called " Red God.” Arad popularized Leonor.
"I know, I have heard of Him. He is the god popular in Mill." Leonor nodded and responded. If he remembered correctly, this person was also the only god who had shown miracles in the original work. By the way, Stan Nice does have a relationship with this god, and is even recognized as the "savior" by a priestess of the Red God.
"No, not only Mill, he is also respected elsewhere in Essos, but this is not as good as Asha..." Arad's tone became erratic, making Leonor's thoughts unable to help but follow him. His words, through the vast land, headed to the shadow land southeast of Essos, where there was a town full of magic...
