Blood of the True Dragon

Chapter 40 Grain Prices Plummet

"Your Highness, have you received the news that His Majesty has captured New Ghis?"

When these grain merchants had left, Jon Clinton couldn't help raising the doubts in his heart.

Daenerys smiled and said:

"Of course not! I received the same information as Lord Jon!"

"Then you still say." The old knight muttered, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, you want to provide them with false information, so that they can sell the grain on their own initiative!"

After Jon Connington finished speaking, the way he looked at Daenerys changed, and it was no longer the feeling of looking down. Now he has regarded Daenerys as a qualified princess, even a princess. A qualified ruler!
"Yes, I have never thought of cooperating with these people, but it is not easy to get these people to take the initiative to sell the food, and they will not do it without profit motives!

And since they hoard food for profit, they will definitely compete with each other for profit, selling food in advance to compete for the most profit!

When they sell out this wave of food, it will be enough to last until the deal with the Raza people is completed, then it doesn't matter whether His Majesty has won the new Ghis or not!

Of course, I'm still just a little girl, and my ideas may not be perfect. What do you two Sirs think? "

"I think you are indeed Prince Rhaegar's sister!" Jorah Mormont smiled at Daenerys.

"The Targaryen family is either crazy or great. Obviously, you and Your Majesty are both the latter!" Jon Connington also complimented.

The next morning, Yunkai's market place was more crowded than usual.

These days, the shortage of food has plagued the people for a long time. Most people often wait at the door of the food merchant's shop a long time in advance in order to buy food.

Although summer was coming to an end and the weather in Yunkai became colder, these people would rather stay in the market against the cold night wind in their ragged robes than go hungry.

The sun had just risen, and the hungry beasts surrounding the grain store slowly stood up.

Adazdan's store opened as usual, and was immediately surrounded by civilians who wanted to buy food.

"Come one by one and line up. The master said that there is a lot of food today. As long as you prepare copper coins, you can buy food!"

The butler's words instantly sparked a frenzy.

These days, no matter which grain store you buy in, you will be told that there is not enough food.

Now Adazdan directly said that there was enough food, which made the people who were still surrounded by other shops and couldn't get in immediately rushed towards Adazdan after hearing the news.

As bags of grain were taken away, merchants in other grain stores felt a little strange and sent people out to check the situation.

And at this moment, the grain merchant who had been fighting against Adazdan also stood up;
"Our food is also sufficient, and it is cheaper than that of Adazdan!

A catty of grain is at least two copper coins cheaper than theirs! "

With the shouting of this product, the first shot of the price war between the two sides officially started!
The grain buyers who heard the news immediately ran towards them again!

And other grain merchants only received the news at this moment!

"Adazdan and the others have already sold all the food in advance. If we don't sell it, all our food will be thrown into our hands when the king comes back!"

Everyone was indignant that Adazdan and these two traitors betrayed the revolution, but now is not the time to deal with these two boys. Go down and cut the price!
Every grain merchant is operating crazily!

The price of food also went down all the way. In less than half a day, the price of food had returned to the level when Daenerys didn't come in.

But the downward trend of food prices has not been stopped!
In order to maximize profits, some grain merchants have already found someone to borrow some money. They originally planned to hoard this batch of grain and resell it to make a fortune!
But now the price of grain has returned to normal. Not to mention the losses caused by buying high and selling low, but in terms of the interest on loans, these grain merchants have also lost a lot.

But they can only choose the fastest way to stop the loss, clear the inventory in time before the food price has completely fallen to the bottom, and pay back those loans!

As a result, the price of food continued to fall, and the civilians who did not buy food in the morning waited and watched after seeing the price drop so sharply.

Some people who have food at home and just want to grab some reserve food have quit the team of buying food.

The seller's market has completely transformed into a buyer's market!

Grain prices continued to decline due to further shrinkage of grain buyers.

In the evening, the price of food has become half of what it was at the beginning.

"The king of the sunset kingdom has captured New Ghis, and he is going to bring a lot of food!"

In the evening, the news spread wildly among the people of Yunkai, and finally gradually evolved into the fact that the grain of New Ghis would be enough for the people of Yunkai for a year.
A feeling of uneasiness permeated the hearts of these grain merchants.

The night is still very cold, but the civilians surrounding the grain store have retreated, but these grain merchants are sleepless all night!
Early the next morning, the grain stores opened their doors early!
"Today's grain prices are--"

"--a coin!"

Daenerys listened to Jon Connington's report with disbelief.

Although she thought that the price of food would fall, she did not expect that it would fall so ridiculously.

"Yes, the price of a catty of grain is only one copper plate now! Maybe it will drop in time!" Jon Clinton said excitedly.

He has never seen such a scene in his life.

"Okay! In this case, we can also buy some food at this time! Prepare for the attack on Meereen!" Daenerys ordered.

"As you wish, Your Highness!"
