Chapter 47: New spokesperson

In the Higgs Kingdom, a middle-aged businessman blew his hands into his hands, wrapped the fur from the grassland tightly, looked up at the plaque above his head, and walked into the rice shop.

The guy inside hurried over to greet him. The one who came to buy rice at this time must be a very, very rich businessman. After all, the current price of rice in the Higgs Kingdom is really not cheap anymore.

As long as the new grain is harvested next year, the price of rice will be lowered immediately. If you don't wait for urgent use, it is obviously more beneficial to consider purchasing grain next year.

However, since the beginning of autumn, the price of rice, which should have fallen, has become incomprehensible because of Ailan Hill's frantic acquisition. Now, these foods are really valuable, and there are countless merchants from Ailan Hill who come to buy them, making people really wonder what the other party is thinking.

"How much food you can sell in your store...I'm down, I want it all." When the merchant came in, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his purpose.

When the guy heard this, the smile on his face stiffened. There are more and more Ailan Hill merchants who come to "smash the place" recently. They said that they would buy all the food. It was just a pair. The appearance of not leaving a way for others to survive.

But the visitors are guests, and this guy is not willing to offend these big merchants. After all, at this time next year, perhaps the price of food will fall, and he has to rely on these merchants who buy food to feed.

So he squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile, and explained: "Sir, you may not be very clear. Because of the sharp decline in food reserves, our King has issued a purchase restriction order. You can only purchase 50 at a time. Bucket of food..."

The calculation unit of the barrel is actually the same as the calculation unit of Hu, which is a method of measuring grain by volume, which is neither accurate nor scientific. But because every country has its own weights and measures, such a thing can only be endured.

Now Ailan Hill has begun to popularize the new weights and measures, various length units and weight units, all of a sudden, it is more convenient for people who use it. Coupled with the widespread use of new numbers, all the territories under Chris's rule have made great strides in computing.

"Can't it be accommodating?" The businessman pressed a gold coin on the coffee table beside him, the golden light dazzled people unable to open their eyes.

"100 barrels, this is the biggest business we dare to do." The guy looked around, then put the gold coin in his bag and said, "The price is the same as this morning. This is the biggest discount. ."

Everyone knows that now the food is not worried about selling, everyone is staring at this one. Locals are driving up prices, outsiders are rushing to buy food, the food stocked in various rice shops is decreasing sharply, and the Higgs Kingdom has even begun to fall into a state of partial shortage.

"Okay!" The businessman was also very easy to speak, and nodded and agreed to the sale. He stood up and said, "Then please load up all the food, I will take it away soon."

There was no way, although he was very distressed, but he could only take out the money bag from his pocket, put a stack of gold coins on the table, and let the other party examine it carefully. Such a hundred barrels of grain may not even be worth 20 silver coins in previous years, but now it is as much as 7 gold coins.

A full thirty-five times increase, it sounds incredible. Not only that, besides racking their brains to purchase a large amount of grain, Ailan Hill is also frantically purchasing meat products from the grassland: not only fresh, alive cattle and sheep, but even dried meat.

After all, the population of Ailan Hill is growing exponentially, and there has never been such a population expansion that does not conform to the laws of nature in history. Because of the little bit of popularization of modern medical technology, the risk of childbirth is decreasing, and the birth rate remains high.

On the other hand, Ailan Hill implemented a one-year "population subsidy welfare" policy. The Principality stipulates that all babies born within this year can receive government subsidies: half a sheep, 200 kilograms of food, There are also 50 liters of goat milk or milk.

At the same time, as long as children go to school to learn knowledge and sign an agreement to ensure that they obey the government's employment distribution after completing their studies, they can get free lunch and 100 kilograms of food subsidies for school and government...

This is also the main reason why Ailan Hill is so crazy about importing food. This is completely to use the method of inverting money to support the continuous industrialization of a country. If it hadn't been for Desaier to open up the same gold coins that searched for his family everywhere, Ailan Hill might not have developed to this level so quickly.

From the beginning to the present, the millions of gold coins that Desaier sold most of his own assets had been squandered almost long ago. If it hadn’t been for the products produced in the factory to recover some of the gold coins, Desaier would have gone bankrupt. Up.

At this moment, he could only rely on writing letters to his relatives, and borrowing money to raise the gold coins needed by Ailan Hill. At the beginning, he had to borrow 50,000 gold coins with a mouth, and now he even started borrowing 1,000 gold coins. What shamelessly is that he has not paid back a penny of these borrowed gold coins...

In every rice shop in every corner of the Higgs Kingdom, there are Crazy Merchants from Ailan Hill making purchases. They hardly count the price, as long as the other party dares to sell, they dare to pay for the food sold.

…

In the bustling streets of Serris, there was a happy smile on everyone's face. In the past, this kind of smile was hard to see. Now almost every Ailan Hiller is full of hope for the future, so smile is their most common expression.

"Have you seen these people? In the past, only the great magician had such a confident expression." Walking on the street with his hands behind his back, Frenzberg found that he seemed to be back in the magical city of Bellevue. He set off from Bellevue all the way to the east, and finally found to his surprise that in the easternmost magical forbidden area, there was a city as energetic as Bellevue.

This is really a magical journey, which makes the great magician feel very happy. Although he couldn't meditate for a month in a row, the novel feeling of insight still made him feel worthwhile.

"They used books like old things to convey such basic knowledge." Looking at the book "Addition and Subtraction within Ten in Elementary School" bought from the corner bookstore, William suddenly felt cheated.

From Bellevue, the gold coins that William carried were really not many, because the magic empire did not use ordinary gold coins, but the kind of enchanted gold coin voucher. Obviously, this kind of precious things cannot be spent in the mortal world, because no one can get change...

"These mortals actually developed a new set of digital symbols... strange symbols, but... very interesting..." William walked beside Frenzberg, his ears turned a blind eye to things outside the window, and he read only the sage books. Looks like.

"Look at things the same as before, just look at the surface." Frenzberg looked at the various seats at the entrance of the wood shop with great interest, rubbing his hands on the smooth cut surfaces: "Walking all the way, Did they find the wrong money?"

Hearing this question, William was taken aback, then looked at his teacher in shock. Walking along the way, no matter what he bought, there seemed to be no mistakes in finding money.

This is actually very funny to say, whether in the Higgs Kingdom or in the Arante Empire, things like finding the wrong money are actually quite easy to happen. Especially when buying things from a retail hawker, you must be careful.

However, this time, after they entered Ailan Hill, they found that there were very few cases of finding the wrong money. This at least shows that the quality of civilians in Ailan Hill has surpassed other areas.

"It seems that these strange symbols... are indeed very useful innovations." This time, William finally paid attention to the textbook used by the elementary school.

Frenzberg looked at the newly built buildings with bright and clean windows, and re-evaluated the country's productivity once again to a new level. The glass used on those buildings seems to be not a bargain in the magic empire.

You know, in this world, glass with general transparency is actually very common, but the finest glass with very good permeability is still a luxury item that the magic empire is willing to buy. After all, the archmages also hope that their rooms will be more transparent so that they can make better use of the sunlight outside the window.

Chris opened a glass factory in order to make observing equipment such as telescopes. But the profit of the glass factory cannot rely solely on military demand, so the factory soon began mass production of flat glass, and the profit became even more lucrative.

Ailan Hill is like this, the gold coins that flow like water are earned back to the accounts every day, and then they are spent like flows of water. It seems that every link is making money, but what many investors get are just "vouchers" as income vouchers.

These vouchers can be exchanged for production materials or for various consumer goods, but only a small part of them can be exchanged for money. But wise merchants would not be willing to exchange these precious vouchers for gold coins, because these vouchers can buy a lot of things that gold coins can't buy.

For example, the machinery, cement, glass used to expand the factory...With these things, they can continue to recruit troops to expand their factories, and finally make more profits.

No one believes that Ailan Hill will collapse, because many big business people have bet on another possible situation. In their opinion, Ailan Hill will not become an opponent of the magic empire, but will only replace Arante and become the new spokesperson of the mortal empire.
