I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 21 The Chamber of Commerce About to Bankruptcy

In his memory, the site of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is located within the scope of the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the opponent will give him 5 Jinpuk as a shelter fee every month.

It's an acquaintance.

Under the gaze of several other small caravans, he stepped to the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce, and Li De could clearly feel the group of guards around him relieved.

Because the sky was still very dim, the guards of the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce were on guard before the caravan set off.

Seeing Li De standing still, the group of guards suddenly grew big.

What does this Master Master want to do?They had already encountered a robber halfway down the road, should they encounter another nightmare at the gate of Green City?!

A guard team leader wearing a half-length gray leather armor gritted his teeth and walked to Li De, a little wary and a smile on his face.

"Master Mage, what do you need to tell us?"

Li De looked at him flatly.

"I am the owner of Scarlet Mage Tower"

This sentence instantly made the team leader a big sigh of relief. He knew the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce would submit asylum fees to each other every month, and he accompanied him several times.

Although I haven't seen the real owner of the Mage Tower, I believe that the other party will definitely have an impression of the Golden Wheat Merchant.

"Master Li De, it is my honor to meet you. The Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is very happy to serve you. I'll let someone call the vice president. Wait a moment."

His name is naturally no secret in the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.

Li De nodded, and did not refuse.

In this world, mages and nobles are undoubtedly standing at the top of the pyramid. For this group of businessmen, not to mention the captain of a guard, even the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Li Deping.

Li De turned his head and looked at the more than 30 carriages of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce around him. They can transport goods at this scale. It seems that the strength of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is pretty good.

But it's a pity that most of the cargo on the carriage is empty. I don't know if it was robbed by a robber or lost halfway.

Asked a little curiously.

"What is the main business of your Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce? These goods have been taken away?"

The captain shook his head, his expression a little frustrated, "We mainly deal in cloth and food. The orcs in the south broke through the border defense. The caravan encountered a group of looting orcs on the way. The caravan suffered heavy losses... .."

"Yes, Your Excellency Li De, this time the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce has suffered the biggest loss since our establishment. We were robbed of all the cloth and food shipped to the border to support soldiers by the orcs."

A middle-aged man in luxurious business clothes came to Li De with a wry smile. He was blond and his shrewd brown eyes were particularly impressive.

"Master Li De, this is the president of our Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, Laurent Orlando"

"You go down first, wake up the caravan, and prepare to return to the city immediately. I will accompany Master Li De"

"Yes, President Laurent"

Li De looked at Laurent Orlando and nodded slightly. He had seen this man in the memory of the ancestor of the blood race.

Moreover, the reputation of the other party is not bad, and the business ability is also excellent.

"Hello Laurent, I wanted to find a caravan to rest for a while, and then return to Green City after sunrise. I didn't expect to meet the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.

I deeply regret your experience, but the suffering will always pass. I believe that one encounter will not bring down the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce."

The ancestors of the blood race spent most of the time in Green City studying magic, and didn't care about other things at all.

Therefore, Li De's understanding of Green City's business community can be regarded as a blank. He intends to contact Laurent to understand the market from the side.

This time buying a large amount of food must cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, he doesn't have so much energy to buy it himself.

A bit of surprise flashed in Laurent's eyes, as if he didn't expect the indifferent Master Master to be so approachable.

"Your Excellency Li De, I hope that although I have been there, good luck is not by my side this time."

After speaking, he shook his head, not wanting to continue this topic, and reached out to signal the tent in the center of the caravan.

"Your Excellency, please come to my tent to rest for a while, and then go back to Green City together after sunrise."

Li De nodded slightly, without further questioning, after thanking him, he followed him to the central tent.

The space is not large, covered with woolen carpets, bread is placed on a small table, and a half-rolled quilt beside it is obviously where Laurent has just been resting.

The two sat down, and after a few polite words to each other, Li De took the lead in asking questions.

"President Laurent, I want to ask how much is the price of grain in Green City now?"

Laurent looked at Li De strangely. A mage asked this kind of question?

When do these lofty masters care about food prices?Even if all the civilians starve to death, it is not their turn to starve.

"Your Excellency Li De, although I don't know why you care about this issue, I have to tell you bad news.

This year, because the orcs started the war ahead of schedule, a large amount of food on the border was plundered by the orcs before they were harvested.

Therefore, this year's food prices are the highest in the past five years.

The price of a pound of wheat has now doubled by as much as 8 copper puke, and the price of grain is likely to exceed 10 copper puke as the winter month approaches.

The goddess of life is here, and the civilians on the border this winter will be very difficult."

After Laurent finished speaking, his face was solemn, and his eyes were a little unbearable.

Once food prices rise, it is undoubtedly the civilians who will be the first to be affected. He can already predict that many people will starve to death this winter, many, many.

Li De felt the oncoming blood and sadness from Laurent's simple words. The civilians who suffered the most in the war were always the civilians.

But this was not something that his blood ancestor could control, shook his head and began to think about another thing.

One Kim Puke can exchange 100 silver Puke and 10,000 copper Puke.

An ordinary person in Green City has an income of only 10 silver puke a month. This will have to feed his family. It can be foreseen how much the impact of rising food prices will be on ordinary people.

One Jinpuke can be exchanged for 10,000 copper puke, and the price of grain is 8 copper puke per catty. One Jinpuke can buy about 1,200 pounds of grain.

The pound in Rongguang is a unit of measurement, and the weight is not much different from a catty.

At 1,200 pounds, some savings are enough to feed two families of three for a year.

The 2,000 Kimpucks he brought out can be exchanged for rations for tens of thousands of people a year.

This batch of grain is undoubtedly enough for his farming plan in the castle.

As long as it can last a year, no, even this winter, after the beginning of spring next year, the fertile land behind the castle will be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

The only problem now is that he needs to purchase this huge amount of grain.

It is foreseeable that due to the war launched by the orcs in the southern border, the price of food will continue to rise in the future. Taking advantage of the fact that the price is not yet at the limit, the purchase of food must be completed as soon as possible if there is still food on the market.

"How much food does the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce have? I have a business to talk to you, and I need a lot of food"

Laurent's eyes lit up when he heard Li De's words, but in a blink of an eye his expression dropped again.

"Master Li De, the goddess is here, our Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is going bankrupt, and there is no capital to buy."

Li De was stunned.

"Bankrupt? Lost goods only once, let alone cloth and grain"

Although the cloth and grain of the thirty carriages are much, they are far from precious.

Such a large chamber of commerce can't afford even one loss?

Laurent shook his head, eyes filled with despair.

"We contacted a seller at the border, and they dug a mythril vein and produced a sufficient amount of mythril mine.

You know that Mithril is a precious alchemy material, as long as I transport it back to Green City, I will definitely make a fortune.

But this batch of ore requires a full 1,200 Kimpuk. For this business, I sold most of the chamber of commerce to raise enough, and I owed two hundred Kimpuk from the Greentown Chamber of Commerce.

But... damn orcs, one day I will crush them one by one and drag them to the gallows"

Li De can think of the details without saying more, and finally got a chance to make a fortune, but he didn't expect to meet an orc.

"So, sorry, Li De, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce no longer exists after sunrise, and I can't do your business."

Bankrupt?Thinking that the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce has always had a good reputation in memory, Li De was not disappointed after pondering for a moment, but moved in his heart.

Maybe this is a good opportunity.
