The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

(ノ｀△´)ノ⊐▎:･'∵:.

A desk was suddenly lifted up, and all the fine stationery and other things on the desk Scattered in the office.

"Where did his food come from?!"

Conradin roared in the office.

The few people standing in the office lowered their heads shiver coldly, even if their feet were suppressed by the heavy desk, they did not dare to make a sound.

The Anger Value full of Conradin kicked the chair away, and the wooden chair made of elven craftsmanship was knocked to the wall by him and smashed into pieces.

"How is it possible?"

"How is it possible?!"

Conradin walked around in the office like a headless fly, into February Since then, he has asked the envoys in Greentown to confirm whether the Spirit King Court will help Charles cash out the food delivery coupons.

Until yesterday, the official response of the Spirit King Court was that they would not provide Charles with any food assistance.

However, just today, Conradin, who was waiting for Charles to come to the door, waited for the latest news from Northlands: Harvest Temple announced that it has begun to redeem Megadon Family food delivery coupons in full.

The previous actions of the Harvest Temple were very concealed, and no one knew who the grain shipped by the grain-carrying fleets northward belonged to.

The sudden news completely disrupted Conradin's plan, and the things he had thought would be a bargaining chip suddenly lost the ability to bargain with Charles.

After a while, Conradin gradually calmed down.

This is the end of the matter, and he has no good way. He can't run to the church and burn the torch. It's better to just wipe the neck.

Conradin waved to the men in the office and said, "You take the delivery ticket to the north and bring all the food back. At least you won’t lose money."

The floods in the south have destroyed many farmland and displaced a large number of farmers, making the grain output in the south reach a new low, and the disaster situation is not easier than in the north.

As long as these grains are in hand, Conradin estimates that the sale can make up for the deficit after being pitted by the Northlands noble collectively.

Some of Conradin's men limped and left. He looked at the mess, and then found a clean place to sit cross-legged.

He was recalling all aspects of intelligence, thinking about where there was any omission.

Charles’ grain impossible appear out of thin air, but he has estimated data on the grain output of countries in the southern region, but even with the addition of the Spirit King, he cannot produce so much surplus grain. Come support Charles.

Just when Conradin was puzzled, his teacher and assistant and Uncle Manfred walked in with a serious face.

The last time the lottery was played off, Manfred persuaded Conradin not to engage in such tricky tricks, but Conradin, who was stubborn, had a little trouble with him.

Later, when Alfe visited, Manfred thought he should be politely received, at least let himself go to negotiate with Alfe, but Conradin only sent an attendant to send Alfe away in the end.

Manfred, who entered the office now, frowned when he saw the mess on the ground.

Conradin, who was sitting on the ground without looking up, said to Manfred: "What's the matter?"

Manfred said: "The latest news from Northlands "

Conradin was startled, and a bad premonition immediately enveloped him. He asked, "Good news or bad news?"

Manfred said:" The five Northlands countries promulgated a new tax policy on the same day. All grain shipped abroad will be levied a tariff of ten times the retail price."

Conradin sitting on the ground was stunned. Next moment he felt With cold hands and feet, trembling all over, the cold sweat on his body kept wafting out.

After several minutes, his mouth murmured: "Trap...this at first is a trap..."

Manfred's heart is secretly sighed, what Charles did. There are still traces to follow, this at first is not a trap.

The Megadon Family has been living in the maple forest for hundreds of years. During the disaster years, he helped the beastman in the north. It was not until the family’s disaster in the past few years that he started to live. stage.

For such a family that lacks offensiveness, if you say that he wants to trap and murder you, a Crown Prince who is far away from him, who would believe it.

At first, Megadon Family’s food delivery coupon business was reasonable and reasonable. It was a normal commercial speculation operation. Everyone was doing business amicably. After all, the beastman in the north was stable and everyone could live comfortably. .

But when Conradin entered this market, the nature of the matter changed.

If Conradin just does business according to the rules, Northlands noble will not say anything. But as soon as he came up with a southern noble, he made it clear that he wanted Charles to hit the ground, so Northlands nobles would have to think about it.

Manfred estimates that it was from then that Northlands noble began to conspire to make this incident a trap for Conradin by the way.

And Conradin at first only focused his attention on Charles, and consequently ignored the personal connections between Northlands noble. If he at first, he would consider the king of the Kingdom of Rerik in the five countries of Northlands. In the pursuit of Charles' elder sister, Duke Randtjin is Charles’ grandfather, and the five Princesses of the Bischberg Kingdom have an ambiguous relationship with Charles. Charles grew up playing with a group of noble second generations of the Biberach Kingdom. The queen of the Villingen Kingdom is Charles. Mother's best friend-then he might not choose to fight Charles in Northlands.

When it is pitted and profitable, there is a hint from the top, and the noble below immediately cooperates actively.

Alfe's previous visit was to give this matter a final chance to settle the matter amicably, but Conradin rejected this opportunity.

Faced with the current situation, Manfred thought about the entire process of development after a few rounds in his mind.

Because of his responsibility as a teacher, he stood there and said his analysis to Conradin, who was sitting on the ground with his head bowed decadently.

After listening to the teacher's analysis, Conradin said: "This is the end of the matter, so stop the loss in time. Sell all the food in Northlands. We will not lose money at the current food price. "

Manfred sighed and said: "I'll take a trip to the north, and try to get the funds back as soon as possible."

Conradin nodded.

However, it turns out that Conradin and Manfred still underestimated the greed of Northlands nobles.

And what happened next is beyond Charles's control, and he won't control it any more.

Now that the food belonging to Conradin cannot be transported back to the south, it is equivalent to a fat pig from the south that is locked in a pigpen in Northlands, and Northlands nobles are talking around the pigpen and discussing what this pig should do how to eat.

A big hand that Conradin and Manfred did not expect has moved again. After the Northlands five countries introduced a temporary increase in grain export tariffs on the same day, both noble and merchants received A message, and then their faces showed a kind smile at the same time.

At the end of February, Manfred took the giant dragon flight to Mason City and found City Lord Bud.

He considered that the handicraft industry in Mason City was developed and there was a big food shortage, so he regarded this place as a breakthrough for selling food on hand.

When Manfred expressed his intentions, Bud quoted his purchase price.

Looking at Bud with a kind smile on his face, Manfred felt as if he had been hit by ice magic, and the blood in his body seemed to be solidified.

Budd leaned on the sofa, and said calmly to Manfred: "The price is very good. It is 50% higher than the same period last year."

"That's why we are really short of food here, so I paid a high price."

Looking at Manfred, whose lips were slightly open several times but speechless, Bud continued to use his indifferent tone. Said: "You can go to other places to ask, where the price in our country is higher than mine, I will eat the coffee table in front of me."

"This is impossible!" Man Fred jumped up, "I investigated the price of food before I came, and the current price of food in the city is at least six times that of the same period last year!" Manfred had to jump up, Conradin bought On average, the cost of food delivery coupons in his hands is at least three to four times that of the same period last year.

Although the large amount of grain sent by Charles brought down the price of grain slightly, it was still controlled by Noble and merchants at five times the price of the same period last year.

"don't be impatient, don't be impatient." The smile on Bud's face is still so kind, "Everyone makes money with harmony."

Manfred De left angrily. The grain he had brought from the simple temporary warehouse of the Harvest Temple was stored in the warehouse in Mason City and guards were arranged. Then, he set off to other places to sell the grain.

After that, he spent half a month running around Northlands and found that the price offered by Bud was indeed the highest price.

Manfred was helpless, he knew that he had fallen into a big net that Northlands noble had teamed up to weave.

Spring is approaching, but this year there has been no snow or rain in the entire Northlands. Perhaps this year is another year of severe drought.

In this context, the price of food on the market has soared again, but noble and businessmen who bought Conradin’s food still insist that at first the price is not letting go.

At this time, a rumor began to circulate among the people. A profit-seeking and morally corrupt member of the southern royal family was holding a large amount of grain and was unwilling to sell it. He wanted to see us northerners starve to death.

When Manfred found that something was wrong, several of their grain warehouses were attacked by "hungry civilians" and the grains in the warehouse were looted.

In the end, Conradin made a heart-stirring decision, and sold the food to civilians at a price much lower than the market without stopping.

As a result, civilians who came to buy food suffered a serious stampede. The city defense forces immediately blocked the scene, prohibiting Conradin’s people from selling food without authorization before ensuring the safety of customers, and took all his The grain depots are "protected".

At this point, Conradin had to surrender.
