Ronald asked with a smile.

"Exactly!"

Old Scock nodded respectfully.

“That was really nice”

Marquis Horst slapped the table and stood up.

"You should know who hoarded the food, right? I'll order you now to take the garrison to the grass"

Hearing what the Marquis of Horst said, old Scot burst into tears.

He just told his master where the grass was, but he definitely didn't want Marquis Horst to forcibly collect food and grass.

Thus

, His reputation is not only bad in the business class, but he may even encounter revenge from others.

"No no, Lord Horst can't do this, they are law-abiding businessmen"

However, no matter how old Scock persuaded, Marquis Horst didn't care.

Looking at Marquis Horst's actions, Ronald had the urge to help his forehead so blatantly cut the leeks. Is it interesting? Of course, it's no wonder that Marquis Horst said it plainly, his attitude represented the great The attitude of some privileged classes towards the merchant class.

Merchants are the leeks they grow when they don't care, and they can cut them when necessary.

Of course, in fact, the lower layers of the pyramid are all leeks from the upper layer, and no one will say anything. However, it is not in Ronald's interest to just cut off the leeks from these businessmen.

"Lord Horst, don't worry, why don't you listen to old Scork?"

Now that Ronald has spoken, Horst has to give some face. "Well, it's best if you can give me a reason not to force their food."

"Yes, Your Honorable Marquis"

After old Scock gave his master a grateful look, he said, "It's actually like this, my lord."

The hoarding of food this time is already a business that has bankrupted many businessmen. Don’t doubt the merchants’ gambling nature. They are betting that in this war, Louis III can go straight ahead, and the logistics can’t keep up with the army of the Bauhinia Kingdom. Eat meat in the front, and the merchants can follow to drink some soup.

It is a pity that Louis III failed, not only did he not win an inch of land, but now even his own country is about to be destroyed by Ronald.

Right now, these merchants are watching, their food is hoarded in this city of a thousand bridges because of the convenient water transportation conditions here.

But they didn't expect that Ronald would come so quickly, so they didn't have time to transport the food hoarded in the city. Later, the Marquis of Horst surrendered, and the entire city of Kunst fell into Ronald's hands. Can't get out anymore.

With the progress of the war, the waterway from the two armies advancing here to the hinterland of the kingdom can be said to have been completely blocked by the two armies.

They don't even want to run away, no problem - but the cargo, they can't get it out.

At first, these businessmen greedily purchased grain from all over the country at low prices, and even caused the price of grain to skyrocket.

But now - all these grains are just waiting to get moldy in Kunst City.

Right now, these guys are really reluctant to run, and they are reluctant to donate.

Seeing that the harvest month is coming, when the new grain comes down, the grain in their hands will depreciate again. At that time, they will lose a lot.

But fortunately, the news bird that flew out of the Marquis Mansion and the news that the new army was about to be built soon reached the ears of these businessmen.

Don't underestimate these businessmen. For them, who have developed a strong sense of business, it is not difficult to use money to buy some servants in the Marquis' Mansion.

You must know that old Scork was still able to get the invitations that the Marquis House sent to the nobles in order to welcome Ronald.

Cough cough, pulling away from those businessmen who got the news, they found old Scork as soon as possible. They put forward a small condition to him. As long as Ronald can meet their conditions, they are willing to pay a penny. donate all your food

Chapter 3 Food crisis, relieved... [3/[-]]

After listening to old Scock's words, without waiting for him to say what the conditions of the merchants were, the Marquis of Horst slammed into the matter.

"Who gave them the guts to make conditions with the superior?"

Marquis Horst said angrily with a frosty face.

His voice made old Scock tremble. That's right. Old Scock gave Ronald the three twin sisters that he had cultivated, but he didn't think his master would do it for Ronald He is a servant merchant, and he turned against the silver noble Marquis Horst. He has a righteous daughter for Ronald, but Marquis Horst also has a daughter for Ronald, and his daughter is still his own daughter. Let me ask you, which is more important.

Comparing the three twin sisters with a female knight of the silver bloodline, it is not a problem at all in the eyes of those in this world who are more important than the silver bloodline, of course, the silver bloodline is noble.

What did you say that the three 3 twin sisters are very hard to find, but they are female knights of the silver bloodline.

The three 3 twin sisters were raised from childhood to know etiquette, advance and retreat, very know how to serve people, but they are female knights of silver blood.

The three 3 twin sisters are the once-in-a-hundred-100-year-old sisters with telepathy, but they are female knights of the silver bloodline.

That's right, the theory of the supreme bloodline is the norm in this continent. People are inherently more noble than ordinary people, so don't play if you don't agree.

To sum up, this is also the reason why Scork is so afraid of Marquis Horst because of Ronald's back.

"Control your emotions, Lord Marquis!"

Ronald shook his head with a chuckle and said, "You scared my servant."

Hearing Ronald's words, Marquis Horst also felt that he was a bit too much. He is Ronald's father-in-law, but this lord has many father-in-law, and he is not the only one. Therefore, it is better to keep a low profile. Well, thinking of this, he bowed slightly to Ronald and said, "I'm sorry Lord Duke, it's my fault."

"Don't worry that there is no need to be so polite between us."

Ronald waved his hand, then looked at Scork.

"Come, tell me what they want, say their terms"

"Yes, sir"

Schoker said tremblingly: "They said they said that as long as you are willing to give them a knighthood, they are willing to hand over all the food in their hands to you."

Hearing Scock's words, Marquis Horst's eyes suddenly widened. If Ronald hadn't spoken yet, he would have jumped up a long time ago.

The title of knighthood is considered the lowest title, and the fiefs are also pitifully small, but -- this means that we must first make a hole in this type of government.

Whether it is the Kingdom of Alderney or the King of Bauhinia, there has never been a tradition of knighting a merchant.

This is bound to shake the rule of the kingdom. Those knights who fought desperately and had no title at home would think when they heard the news. It turned out that the title of the family could be inherited, but it was so worthless, and it could be exchanged for some food.

At that time, there will still be people in the entire kingdom willing to fight for glory and titles There will naturally be a scale in your heart.

Marquis Horst looked at Ronald with stubborn eyes, and when he gave an order, he would personally lead the team to give a good look to those unscrupulous businessmen who were trying to infiltrate the ruling class of the kingdom.

At this time, Ronald lightly tapped the armrest of the chair, thinking.

with the marquis of horst

The difference is that Ronald's anger is the essence of the capital class infiltrating the power class after it has obtained food and clothing.

It's just that these guys are too eager. The commercial development of this country has not yet reached the point where it can penetrate into the power class, and they actually want to use such means to gain power.

This hole can't be opened, at least not now.

Then - he still needs food, and he doesn't want to use strong means to hit Aihong, who was originally underdeveloped in this kingdom, that is not in his own interests.

So—surely it's best to buy and sell fairly. Thinking of this, Ronald waved his hand and said, "It's absolutely impossible to exchange the title for grain, but I can buy that grain from them at a premium."

Although the Marquis of Horst didn't know why Ronald treated these businessmen so leniently, he still said: "But Lord Duke, we have no extra money, and the entire city of Kunst has less than two thousand gold coins. ."

[-] gold coins is obviously not enough to buy much food, at least not enough to buy food for the [-] army to eat for half a month.

"It's okay I can barter."

Ronald said, turning his palm over, a handful of white candy appeared in his hand.

"Come, taste this and tell me what it's worth."

Marquis Horst and Scork each took a pinch of sugar from Ronald's hand and put it into their mouths, and their faces instantly revealed indescribable astonishment.

"This is sucrose, no, this sucrose is more refined and sweeter. God praise you, my lord, you have come up with something good enough to drive countless people crazy."

Old Scork danced with excitement.

"Yes this luscious taste, sweeter than my honey"

Marquis Horst said with some intoxication.

Honey is also a luxury in this world, and a small jar of honey needs at least forty gold coins.

The weight of forty gold coins is definitely heavier than a small pot of honey, so-honey is also called flowing gold.

"Tell those merchants that I am willing to exchange these luxuries for the grain in their hands"

Ronald chuckled and said: "Well, let's exchange it at a price of one to one: a thousand."

Hearing Ronald's words, the old Scock said excitedly: "It's not worth it for the master, if this kind of good thing is in my hands, please believe me and I will sell it to the royal families of various countries and make it a popular item. A good thing that all nobles are after."

"Hehe but time, what I want is time"

Ronald said, ordered someone to bring a cloth bag, poured the white sugar in his hand into the cloth bag, and threw it to old Scroke, "Go, this is the sample, take it and trade with those merchants I want it. By tomorrow afternoon, see grain filling the granary in the barracks."

"Yes, Master, your will is the sign that guides me forward."

It was all said and done, and old Scock didn't say any more. He carefully put the bag of sugar into his arms and exited the hall.

On the other hand, Marquis Horst also said with a bit of greed: "That... Lord Duke, in fact, those noble families also have a lot of food reserves. I think, if you trade such items, they are also very willing to support your Lord Duke. business."

Ronald smiled when he heard the words: "Of course, I can't ask for it"

 

Chapter 1 The army in the middle of the road opens... [3/[-]]

Things went unexpectedly smooth even more smoothly than Ronald had imagined.

In the end, Sr. Scock sold the sugar at a conversion ratio of one to two thousand five.

In other words, Ronald exchanged two tons of sugar for five thousand tons of grain.

It can be said that everyone is happy. In the eyes of those businessmen, it is very worthwhile to exchange some grains that are about to become old grains for white sugar, which can be called a passport to the upper class. There are even businessmen secretly mocking Ronald for not understanding business.

In this regard, Ronald can only say hehe. As for why the old Scock can sell the sugar at such a high exchange rate, it can only be said that Ronald's talent in business is not as good as this old profiteer.

Moreover, the old profiteer also borrowed his power to subdue these businessmen. The process of subduing those businessmen is nothing more than two things.

First, this is Kunst City under Ronald's control. Without Ronald's permission, none of the grain and grass that the merchants hoarded could be shipped out.

Second, Lord Ronald is merciful, but you can't get an inch, either sell it at this price, or be forced to take it.
