Blood of the True Dragon

Chapter 39 Grain Prices Plummet

As soon as Daenerys said this, everyone present was stunned.

Before the merchants came, they always thought that Daenerys was going to negotiate with them to get them to provide more grain to stabilize the grain price.

They never expected that Daenerys would actually do this after arriving, which directly confused the group of people.

That Valyrian king took New Ghis and wanted to sell the grain for money?
And this silver-haired princess wants them to give advice on selling food?

This incident was so different from their expectations that these people didn't recover for a long time, and they didn't answer Daenerys until Daenerys continued to remind them to react.

"Your Highness, we are just some lowly businessmen who only know a little of the old ways of buying and selling. Let us advise you that this is really a bit." The backbone of the businessman just stood up.

Daenerys frowned directly when she heard this:
"You have been in the grain trade for so long, don't you know how to sell at a high price? Or do you think I am a stupid girl, and my words are not worthy of the king's request?"

"Your Highness, we definitely don't have such an idea!" The merchant immediately begged for mercy, "Actually, the reason why we want to sell grain at a high price is very simple, all we need is for the seller to raise the price!
Everyone has to eat food, otherwise it is useless even if he has all the wealth in the world! "

"I'm not a child, everyone, I think I understand such a simple truth, but I'm not alone in this market, if I want to sell at a high price, other people have to sell at a high price too!

Therefore, I invite you to come here just to let you maintain the price when I sell high prices here!

As long as the food in New Ghis is slowly disposed of, King Aegon will not forget your contributions! "

After Daenerys finished speaking, the merchants all looked at each other in dismay, and even Jon Connington and Jorah Mormont on the stage looked at each other suspiciously.

The latter did not understand the logic of Daenerys's actions, and these merchants did not expect that the princess Daenerys called them here because she wanted them to control the price of food at a high level.

The rest turned their attention to the influential businessmen in the middle.

The current problem is very embarrassing. Before they came, they had conspired to oppose Daenerys together and continue to push up the price of food!
Now Daenerys wants to maintain the status quo, and even wants to share a share with them, so should I oppose Daenerys together now?

All of a sudden, these businessmen lost their minds.

"Everyone?" Seeing that these people were silent, Daenerys continued to remind.

"Your Highness, of course we will do our best to satisfy His Majesty's request. Don't worry, we will strictly control the food sold every day after we go back here!"

"That's good, then trouble everyone!" Daenerys smiled.

This meeting was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought it would be a fierce confrontation. Daenerys might use the army in her hand to force these merchants, but the meeting went very smoothly.

And these grain merchants also gathered in private immediately after they left.

"Are you saying we should work with this silver-haired bitch?"

Adazdan said angrily: "Cooperate with them? Are you kidding me? They are Valyrians with dirty blood flowing in their bodies. We are Ghisians. How can we cooperate with these despicable peoples?"

The Valyrians have enslaved the Giths for thousands of years, and these Giths, who claim to inherit the blood of the ancient Ghis Empire, are very resistant to the Valyrians.

So as soon as he said this, many people agreed, but some people still retorted:
"That's the way it is, but if both of us can make money, then cooperation is not a big deal!"

It was the businessman who had a quarrel with Adazdan in the afternoon who was talking, and Adazdan heard the other party say this and said contemptuously:

"Hmph, you only have money in your eyes, and you have forgotten the glory of the Guges Empire. I can see that your eyes just wanted to grow on the chest of that silver-haired Valyrian woman!"

"What do you mean by that, you are the one whose eyes grow to the other's ass!"

The two of them have never dealt with each other very much, so when they encountered problems, they would explode at a single point, and they were stopped by someone in the end.

"Everyone, we should put our interests first, but we shouldn't cooperate with that bitch, that bitch is too naive, thinking that she has an army, we will definitely cooperate with her!
, If the Valyrian king comes to Yunkai with grain, the price of grain will definitely drop, what we should do is to sell the grain at the highest possible price during this period! "

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.

The food price in Yunkai is high now because everyone eats to a certain point, that is, Daenerys' army of the Unsullied will consume a lot of food, and there is not enough food for the time being!

So these people will take advantage of this time period to unite and stock up together.

And now the news of Aegon's return has told them, which means that the shortfall in the market is about to be filled.

Food prices will definitely come down, which is the consensus of all.

They didn't believe that Aegon would control the food price with them after he came back, and they were more willing to believe that this was Daenerys' plan to delay the attack in order to get more money.

So these people's idea now is to resell the hoarded food before Aegon returns.

"Why do I feel that this news might be fake!" Adazidan felt that something was wrong,
"Sensible rulers should not push up food prices for money!"

"Do you think a teenage girl can deceive so many of us? I think your brain is still on her?" The skinny man said disdainfully.

Adazdan gave the other party a direct look, and didn't want to say anything more to this guy.

"I also don't think that silver-haired bitch has such deep thoughts, and no one knows where the legendary silver-haired king went after defeating Yunkai!
He took away thousands of Unsullied troops!I think he has a great chance of capturing New Ghis! "

Some people present knew about the alliance between New Ghis and Yunkai, so they all nodded in agreement with this guess.

"Everyone, now it depends on our sincere cooperation. It will take about 20 days for the king to travel from Yunkai to New Ghis and back again!
And that whore has been in Yunkai for ten days, and we only have a few days."

"Ah, my stomach hurts a bit!" Adazidan clutched his stomach, looking very painful.

The rest of the people showed some impatient faces: "Get out!"

Adazdan hurriedly clutched his stomach and left, and the skinny businessman who had been fighting with Adazdan rolled his eyes when he saw the other party like this.

After Adazdan left, he immediately found his subordinates:
"Pull out our food immediately and sell it all! Quick!"

"My lord, the price of grain can go up even more now, are you sure you want to sell all of it now?"

"Of course, we won't be able to make so much money after those idiots react. Quickly, sell them all, no matter what the price is!"
