Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 404 Jackals

"how come?"

His wife froze for a moment, and then understood everything in an instant.

Farmers are very eager to make more money. When the price of food started to rise, many farmers sold a large amount of food to earn enough money.

After all, it is normal for grain to rise and fall. When it is just harvested, the price of grain will inevitably drop, and after a period of harvest, the price of grain will naturally rise.

And it will change due to various reasons. For those farmers, what they can do is to sell more grain when the price of grain rises, and then buy some old grain to survive.

This is a risky move, but it is especially true for farmers who are in urgent need of money, especially those who have not sold woolen cloth at a price this year and have to pay taxes.

A little bit of risk, they feel that they are lucky enough to avoid it, coupled with the words of the businessman, it is not difficult at all for these farmers to sell their rations for a little profit.

"I see……"

Pursing her lips, the woman looked at her jewelry, she looked at her husband, and knew that her husband would never do nothing when facing refugees, so she thought about it and decided to put this Return the jewelry, and then buy some food during this time.

That is, it can save my husband from eating black bread, and when my husband wants to help refugees, he will not be unable to do anything.

She has always opposed her husband becoming a tax officer because of this, and her husband is too soft-hearted.

"The territory directly under the king is still good, because His Highness Varian's tax is not heavy. Although there are 'examples', it is not much easier than other places, but it is much better, but even our food prices here It's all doubled."

Halson was a little annoyed. He didn't know what to do with the poor harvests this year. After the taxes were collected in those places, the farmers would only have one or two months' rations left at most. What can this rations do?
And... there are reports that goblins have also entered the venue.

He subconsciously touched his sword ornament, and he planned to use a sum of money to buy some food in the future storm, so as to ensure the food and clothing of his family, especially his wife.

However, this is what my wife bought for me...

He hesitated, but became firm in a blink of an eye.

His wife bought it for him to impress him in front of his colleagues and to keep him happy.

But if being a husband keeps his wife and children hungry, what good is his appearance? A good husband can make him hold his head up high, look majestic, and be full of joy.

So, he made a decision.

--------

"Oh? Why are the goblins in such a hurry?"

A nobleman stretched his body gracefully. The scent of the twenty-gold-coin-a-bottle perfume that he sprayed on his body well concealed the smell on his body, and the sofa he was sitting on was worth a hundred gold coins.

So much for velvet cushions and pillows, and fine, scented woods.

In front of him, there were pastries and steaks sprinkled with expensive spices, as well as the clear wine.

Every dish on the table is carefully cooked by the chef. Ordinary people only buy a few spices during festivals. Now it is like snowflakes sprinkled on one of his steaks, but unfortunately, This piece of steak only took one bite, and because it didn't taste right, he put it on a silver plate specially used to hold garbage.

He was one of the members who held a meeting to discuss Li Ke's background, and he was also a member of the top nobles in Stormwind City.

"That's right, it seems that because of the loss of the food supply in the western wilderness, the price of food for those goblins has also started to rise steadily this year, so those goblins want to know if they can get a batch of food from us."

In the eyes of outsiders, a super-big businessman is kneeling in front of this nobleman with a low eyebrow, carefully wiping the nobleman's boots, even if the other party steps on his head with boots, he is still A look of loyalty.

"It's a good idea..."

The young nobleman took out a silk handkerchief. This piece of silk is only raw material and has five gold coins, not to mention the beautiful patterns embroidered on it. However, it was only used by the nobleman to wipe his mouth, and was thrown to the ground by the other party. Obviously not going to use it anymore.

"How much are they going to pay?"

"Well, they want to blackmail us, using our previous handles."

There was hesitation in the merchant's words.

"Then clean it up. The goblins have to be domesticated anyway, so that they can know who is the master of this world. They want to enter the market in Stormwind City to make a fortune, and they think too much gone."

The noble's words were understated, but the businessman couldn't help trembling.

Because it was just such a sentence, at least more than 100 of his subordinates were going to die.

But obviously, no one cares if they survive to tomorrow.

After all, those people don't do this business, and some people do it. As long as the salary is raised a little, these untouchables will pop up like wild weeds.

"Also, the West Wilderness side..."

The businessman asked boldly, but the noble just sneered.

"They will be overwhelmed, and he has no position to help Varian at all, so don't worry about him making trouble, give him a contract, we will buy as much grain as he has, just buy it at the market price, by the way he Don't you want to build some kind of factory?"

The noble hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Help me buy some wool, and try to see if I can accommodate him and make some special products into his local special products, or let him make some there."

The nobles thought of what they had pushed Onyxia to do before—to help Li Ke.

Although Li Ke's dismount was a bit powerful, they also received the affirmation of Tenaris.

Li Ke is the affirmation of his illegitimate son.

As for the other party's denial gesture... This kind of thing cannot be denied, because the denial is true.

He didn't say he hadn't heard of it, so it was confirmed.

After all, you can't get a king to admit that he had an illegitimate child on anything that can be used as evidence.

This is the most basic cognition.

Tenaris would not have made such a mistake.

So the nobles confirmed the identity of Li Ke's illegitimate child. Although they were curious about why he didn't look like Tenaris at all, they thought that the one who could make Tenaris make a mistake must be a beauty, so they didn't have much doubt.

They also determined that Tenaris intended to choose the best of the two children to succeed him.

It's unorthodox, but for Tenaris, he has the qualifications.And for the people of Stormwind City, this is also an opportunity for speculation.

And it can be seen with the naked eye that Alsace is not as good as Li Ke, which is a very critical issue.

So he intends to seize this opportunity.

"clear."

The businessman nodded, but the noble suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, the food that our king is hoarding now is enough to support the kingdom until the next farming, right?"

His question made the businessman think for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, yes. The food His Majesty the King bought from Lordaeron has arrived at the port of Stormwind City, and it can be unloaded and transported tomorrow."

"very good."

The businessman glanced at the nobles sitting around and at each other.

Then retracted his feet, patted the merchant's face, and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Then tell me, how can we ensure that our king who loves the people like a son has food, so that we can get the most benefits?"

The businessman froze for a moment, and sweat immediately appeared on his body.

"I understand, those grains will disappear tomorrow!"

He stood up immediately and left here.

And a noble could not help but speak.

"My friend, you are wicked."

But the noble just smiled.

"Did I do anything?"

He picked up the drink.

"He's just baffled himself."
