Chapter 87, skyrocketing prices

City of Beda, Governor's Office.

Earl Pierce, who obtained the excuse of intervention, not only did not feel happy, but instead browed even tighter.

It seems that the northern aristocrats and local aristocrats are fighting for blood, but in fact, the fight between the two sides is still within the scope of the rules.

Except for the noble lords who led troops to steal people, they did not seek enlargement revenge, and most of the local aristocrats were still out of the matter.

Except for some of the nobles involved in this storm who were greedy and took the initiative to join, most of them could have some connection with the Dalton family.

He originally wanted to use the power of local nobles to drive out this group of foreign households, but he did not expect to develop to eventually become the younger brother of the Dalton family and the northern aristocrats.

Everyone's attention was focused on the struggle for the territorial borders, and the territorial border conflict that should have broken out failed to cause trouble.

This is an inevitable result. There is no living person in the territory, and who has the time to care about the problems of the enclaves?

Even if we want to solve the enclave problem, we have to have a certain economic foundation. Now it is all unmanned land, so what’s the point of fighting for?

You guys blame me for doing bad things with kind intentions?

Earl Pierce is not that stupid yet.

Perhaps the younger brothers have different abilities, at least they have no problems with loyalty. The boss would come out to charge without hesitation with just one hint.

He failed to pull all the local nobles into the water, but at least he had to pull dozens of families in, which was not considered a waste of work.

Hatred can be piled up. It seems that it is just bullying a noble family, but in fact it is the circle behind it.

The reason why they did not get involved was because the benefits were not enough. Everyone joined forces to beat the nobles in the northern border, and they could not get more profits except for giving out a breath.

Even if you drive people to the southeastern province, the Dalton family is the one who gets the most benefits, which is the fundamental reason why everyone chooses to wait and see.

Of course, Adrian cannot be counted.

When snatching people, I work hardest. I shouted the loudest slogans before starting the fight, and when the battle broke out, it was just a mess.

I originally thought that this guy could drag the Koslo family into the water, but after being tossed by him, the Koslo family, who got the cheap, was too late to stand on the shore and secretly enjoy it, so how could they jump into the water?

As it turns out, as long as your backend is hard enough, even if you just act awkwardly, it can still make your opponent's scalp numb.

So, I was unable to get the idea I wanted from the nobles in the northern border, so I just made the lawsuit to the Governor's Office with confidence.

This made Earl Pierce not know now whether to commend him or catch him and scold him.

"Send the order to implement the second set of plans, and first give the guys in the northern Xinjiang a warning to let them know who is the master of the Southeast Province.

Notify all fief lords in the two counties that I will go to Dadir City in person in ten days to mediate the recent disputes.”

The order of the kingdom is still there, and the duties of the governor must be fulfilled.

No matter how many fights you fight in secret, once you put it on the table, you must abide by the rules of the game.

To attack the noble territory for no reason is strictly prohibited by the kingdom laws. If the rules can be trampled on by willful rules, where can small and medium-sized aristocrats feel safe?

...

Dadir City, or Dadir Ruins. After the serfs he had snatched back to carry out simple emergency repairs to the city, Baron Sith finally had a place to settle down.

Among the nobles from the northern border that went south, Sith was already the best. Other nobles were still cleaning up the ruins of the castle, and he had already moved into the city lord's mansion.

Especially by leading a group of northern Xinjiang nobles to launch a counterattack and regain the achievements of the people, their reputation in the group also rose rapidly.

People are famous and have many troubles. After a few days of good days, I got into trouble.

The lawsuit in the Governor's Office is nothing, and it's just a matter of dispute. Although I suffered a loss, the actual loss was not big.

There were no serious consequences, it was nothing more than asking the younger brother involved to come out to apologize and ensure that he would never make a mistake again. At most, he would like to make a symbolic compensation, just buy a lesson.

Compared with the loss of face, the pragmatic northern nobles still pay more attention to the inner world.

"Dear Baron Sith, we are here to ask you for help. This day is really impossible.

Shortly after the counterattack was launched, prices began to soar. I thought it was because of the tense situation and the unscrupulous merchants deliberately raised prices, but they did not expect prices to soar even more after the war.

Rye soared from three copper coins per pound to seven copper coins; peas soared from two copper coins per pound to five copper coins; wheat prices also soared to ten copper coins; inferior salt mixed with sand and soil soared to one silver coin per list...

In short, all the prices of goods are soaring. One price in the morning and another price in the afternoon.

I argued with those guys, but I didn't expect that the group of profiteers would not give any face at all. They seemed to buy if they liked it, and they wouldn't buy it. They even mocked me as a barbarian from the Northern Army.

In a rage, I ordered the arrest of these guys. As a result, no caravan entered my territory since then…”

Speaking of the latter, this iron-blooded man almost cried.

It's really too bullying the nobles. Such arrogant businessmen are rare in the entire Aslant continent.

For the nobles, they have a great face. If they are both nobles, they can just say a few words. Even a mere merchant dares to cause trouble, that is, they are suspecting that the knife in their hands is not good.

Even if they don’t do anything on the surface, they will retaliate secretly. A large part of the caravans that disappeared without understanding were the masterminds of the nobles.

"Barcelona Sith and Knight Delan are all true. These merchants are so arrogant that they don't take us seriously at all.

Not only are prices raising, but even the quality of the goods sold is getting worse and worse.

In the past, the unscrupulous merchants could at most mix some old grain into the new grain; now it is a miracle to find a new grain of wheat among the old grain.

Look at this bag of wheat, you don’t have to use it to grind noodles. It will turn into powder after shaking it…”

"Justin Knight, don't make things difficult for Baron Sith. We've all encountered this situation.

I can tell you the truth that not only Lait and Wyden counties soared, but prices in the entire southeastern province are soaring.

To be precise, this round of price surge is just a surge for us. Local aristocrats can still get affordable goods with their connections.

As the prices of other commodities rise, we can also find ways to reduce consumption, but the only food is not.

The more troublesome thing is that now is just the beginning. What we need to face next may not be the question of whether the quality of the food is good, but whether we can’t buy enough food.

I spent a lot of money to buy a grain merchant and learned from him an amazing news that the nobles of the Southeast Province will likely stop selling grain to the outside world this year.”

Baron Bazer said in a surprising way.

I knew that the local nobles were not soft persimmons, but I didn't expect that their revenge would have come so ruthlessly.

If you lead the troops directly to fight, everyone will not be timid. But when you come up, you will have no food. How can you take the initiative?

It was time to finally win a counterattack, and it was time to celebrate victory, but the happy event turned out to be a tragedy.

For the lords of northern border, the people in their hands have become hot potatoes. The more people the territory is, the faster the food consumption will be.

Once the inventory in hand is eaten, everyone will go hungry. It is still the lord's sacred obligation to support the people, and it is impossible to avoid it.

The answer was announced first, and Baron Sith felt a little unhappy, but there was no change in his face.

"Barl Bazer is right, the native nobles in the southeastern province do show signs of blocking us.

The main reason is that in recent days, everyone has been making too much trouble and offended too many people.

The price surge this time was caused by the families behind these guys who were secretly trying to make a series of trouble.

Of course, the Dalton family is bound to be fueled by this, and it is even possible that they are the real mastermind behind the scenes.
