Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 352 All kinds of attitudes after the harvest (2)

Ordinary farmers have not yet realized the problem, they are immersed in joy.Knowledgeable farmers are aware of the problem, but they will not think that the Pompeii family is at fault.

Because the Pompeii family promoted agricultural technology, this bumper harvest resulted.

In the eyes of most people, this is selfless.

But there is a small group of people who must hate Pompey.

"Damn Pompeii."

Fancia, a large farmer and aristocrat, is such a person.

Fancia's family has been farmers for generations. They merged land, expanded serfs, and relied on the wealth gained from the land to maintain a decent life for nobles.

This time the new party broke out in a storm that hit the central part of Orange and most of the south.Large numbers of nobles lost their fields and their serfs.

But the White Eagle Land is different. Three of the five Lords of the White Eagle Land were assassinated and two escaped.

Therefore, a large number of farmers and serfs were retained.

When the Pompeii family began to promote agricultural technology, these farmers were also aware of this problem.More grain output will definitely hurt the price of grain.

But they also had to bring in Bath cattle to fertilize the fields with serf manure.

Because even if they don't promote agricultural technology, food prices will definitely fall.If agricultural technology is also promoted, the loss may be smaller.

Now that the results are out, the food production of the entire White Eagle Territory is probably [-]% more than in previous years. According to the current population in the territory, it is absolutely impossible to eat it all.

Food prices are sure to plummet.

It doesn't matter to farmers, as long as they can eat enough.But for farmers, that was definitely a major blow.

Farmland is not as profitable as it used to be, and the iron rice bowl for generations is gone.

"Damn Pompeii."

Fancia's home is located in Windsor, an independent large villa.Fancia is a big fat, chubby rich farmer and businessman.

There is a wife and three children at home.

It was the eve of dinner, and Fancia was sitting at the dining table, cursing Pompey constantly.

"Keep your voice down. If you are reported to the city hall and said that you cursed the lord, it will be a big trouble." Fan Xi's wife came in with a plate and persuaded.

Fan Xia immediately didn't dare to curse anymore, because now the reputation of the Pompeii family is in the sky, and the white eagle coat of arms is flying high in the sky, and everyone needs to look up.

A terrifying existence indeed.

"I can't help it. There is not much way out for farming. I plan to sell the serfs and most of the fields, collect funds, and then find a way to do other businesses."

Fan Xia unbuttoned a button on his shirt, twisted his neck and said.

"Selling serfs and fields in this situation is definitely not worth a lot of money." Fan Xi's wife said.

"If you don't sell it now, it will definitely be worth less next year. Don't forget that the White Eagle Collar is located in the endless deep forest. If you open up the deep forest, you can have countless farmland. Farmers don't care about food prices, they will use hard work to increase income."

Fancia said.

"That's true too." Fancia's wife sighed.

"After the farmland is sold, I will go to Pompeii. I heard that Governor White Eagle plans to develop Pompeii into a metropolis like the Golden City, where there are business opportunities everywhere. Since we can no longer rely on farmland for food, we can only rely on business. "

Fancia said.

"Be more cautious, we don't have much capital." Fan Xi's wife was a little worried.

"Understood." Fan Xi said.

"Damn Pompeii."

Fan Xiya muttered in a low voice.

The chain reaction of the big harvest, the big farmers realized that farming is not a good way out, they will sell their farmland, serfs, and wave gold coins to do business, and nothing has more business opportunities than the developing Pompeii.

…………

As a chain reaction of the bumper harvest, grain merchants began to suppress grain prices.

Most of the entire Kingdom of Prussia is a plain terrain. If it is not a disaster such as drought, it is generally possible to have a good harvest.

Orange is a major grain-producing province.

Orange has a grain business union, membership.Prior to this, in order to suppress the Silver Wing Collar, Luther asked the rich man, Mr. Aardman, for help.

This Mr. Aardman is the chairman of the Grain Merchants Union.

But now the whole of Orange has been divided into four territories, and the close connection between the Grain Merchant Alliance no longer exists.Some grain merchants were even sent to the gallows by the New Party.

The big grain merchants led by White Eagle survived under the famous name of Pompeii.

At present, the city hall has not come forward to regulate grain prices, so the current grain prices are actually controlled by these big grain merchants.

On this day, eight major grain merchants met in a villa in Pompeii.

These eight grain merchants formed the current White Eagle Leader Grain Merchant Alliance, the leader of which was a grain merchant named Hiltu.

These grain merchants are very rich.

Hiltu's villa in Pompeii is still a very high-end villa. It not only covers a very large area, but also has been well-repaired.

In the living room of the villa, Hiltu sat in the owner's seat, crossed his legs, and drank coffee.Seven grain merchants sat in the guest's seats, also drinking coffee.

Four maids are always ready to serve.

"Thanks to the blessing of the white eagle coat of arms, we all survived. But also thanks to the blessing of the white eagle coat of arms, our buying and selling of food has become much more complicated."

Hilt sighed.

Grain merchants sat together and planned to suppress the price of grain.But this is not what they decide, it is what the market decides.

High production of goods, the price will naturally fall.

Grain merchants are not saints either, and it is impossible to buy grain at a loss.

"I'm going to set the price to [-]% of last year's price. What do you think?" Hiltu thought about it, put down the coffee in his hand, and asked.

A grain merchant took out a cigar, cut it off, and asked the maid to help light it.He blew out a smoke ring and said, "The problem now is that even if we buy grain at [-]% of the price, who will we sell it to? No matter how many residents there are in the White Eagle Territory, they can't digest so much grain. And the people outside the White Eagle Territory Orange, the kingdom is at war, and our grain cannot be shipped out."

"In the end, the grain we bought can only be left to rot in the warehouse."

This is a more serious problem. Grain merchants are no longer a problem of suppressing grain prices, but a problem of unwillingness to purchase grain.

Grain can't be sold after being bought, and it rots in warehouses.

It doesn't make any sense.

"There is still war outside now. If the war is over, the agricultural technology of the White Eagle Territory may be extended to the entire Orange, and even the human kingdom, and the agricultural structure will undergo major changes. At that time, food will really not be enough. It’s worth the money, and what I’m thinking about now is not to do food business, but to change and run other businesses.”

A grain merchant sighed and said.
