How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 337 : Why Isn't Louis Das Panicking

"The ti... should be about right."

Caroline stared at the new briefing in her hands, smiling and slowly nodding.

Now Northern Fire was really profiting...

The situation in the Holy Capital was about what she expected.

Except that the funds those rchants could mobilize far exceeded her imagination, everything else was proceeding normally.

According to the latest data from the Finance Departnt, from half a month ago when Northern Fire announced the policy of establishing state-run grain stations until now, Northern Fire had already received over one hundred fifty thousand gold coins...

Honestly, when she went to see the treasury a few days ago, she was really startled by the golden splendor before her eyes.

Even as a young lady from a prominent family, she had never seen so much money...

These full one hundred fifty thousand gold coins were completely sufficient for preparing to deal with the Blood Clan...

This way, Northern Fire wouldn't need to borrow from Elashia's small treasury to solve financial problems...

However, what was delivered to her wasn't just good news.

Quite a few regional political commissars reported upward that—not only were military provisions exhausted, but ergency reserve grain was also basically used up.

And the grain currently sent to the Holy Capital was only enough for the army to eat for less than a week...

Although Northern Fire imposed an information blockade on this matter, it wouldn't be long before the lack of food would be exposed.

However, Adeline wasn't panicking at all.

She knew—in this great war over grain and even security, Northern Fire had already won...

...

"Please rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured..."

Dealing with a large group of debt collectors, Louis Das's heart wasn't actually panicked at this mont.

"If worst cos to worst, I'll just sell all the grain in my hands... In any case, I'll definitely be able to repay your debts in the end..."

At this mont, Louis Das couldn't help but feel grateful that he had always paid attention to accumulating connections.

Although these people ran to his courtyard collectively to collect debts after discovering he was running out of money, they ultimately still allowed him to gather tens of thousands of gold coins in support.

The one hundred thousand gold coins he originally had, plus the over sixty thousand gold coins he borrowed, plus the purchasing power of other rchants in the Louis rchant Association... Louis Das believed that even if Northern Fire still had surplus grain, it ultimately wouldn't be enough for them to persist much longer.

If he hadn't made mistakes, this operation had spent nearly two hundred thousand gold coins in total.

That was two hundred thousand gold coins... almost close to the Holy Court's total inco during two stable years in the past.

As a rchant, being able to mobilize such powerful energy was quite a proud thing.

After persuading away the group of debt collectors, looking at the old butler's grave expression, Louis Das once again showed that carefree smile.

He really couldn't understand what these people were panicking about.

This grain price war would definitely end with his victory.

And he now held nearly eighty thousand tons of grain. If he could regain control of grain prices, this level of terrifying reserves would be completely sufficient for him to make a big profit while recovering his costs.

Even if he ultimately failed, at most his assets would shrink by about one-third, and he would ultimately be able to repay this debt no matter what.

"Master... I feel sothing's wrong..."

The old butler frowned and said to Louis Das:

"In my view, we may have overestimated Northern Fire's capabilities."

"Logically speaking, producing this level of grain should already be their utmost effort..."

"But now they're still maintaining that policy..."

"This isn't right, this is very wrong..."

"Oh my, old man, why are you being so paranoid?"

Louis Das turned around and glared at the old butler viciously.

"Have you calculated? How much money do we have left to use?"

The old man said seriously:

"Master, the money in our hands has basically been completely exhausted..."

Hearing the old butler's words, Louis Das didn't show any panicked expression.

"Have you sold everything that can be sold?"

The old butler nodded.

"Our properties have now been basically all sold."

"Now we have only one resource in abundance—warehouses."

The old man smiled sowhat bitterly at him:

"Master... now nearly half of the Holy Capital's warehouses have been basically bought or rented by us."

"We haven't monopolized grain yet, but we've almost monopolized warehouses..."

"Alright, alright, what's there to worry about?"

Louis Das comforted him while asking:

"By the way, did you sell our house?"

The old butler was stunned.

"Master... this is our last remaining family property..."

"And even if we sell it, we can only get a few hundred gold coins at most..."

Louis Das nodded.

"That's good, let's leave it at that."

He appeared extrely calm.

"Master, our money is almost spent, we can't even afford to pay servants and guards' wages anymore. Why are you still so calm?"

The old butler looked extrely puzzled.

"Oh my... really, why are you as anxious as them?"

Louis Das's expression appeared extrely calm.

"Ti is on our side, we can completely drag out the ti."

"Northern Fire's strategy against us is nothing more than one move—using their military grain to fight us..."

"The army has to eat every day. If they continue like this, their army will probably go hungry in just a few days."

"As long as they abandon this foolish policy, that's our victory."

"And... even if we fail, so what?"

"We hold nearly eighty thousand tons of grain. Later we can sell them and earn back about one hundred thousand gold coins."

"Don't be afraid... even if we lose this gamble, the Louis rchant Association won't fall."

"But... Master, I still feel sothing's wrong about this matter."

The old butler looked at Louis Das, who was obviously becoming very impatient, and continued to persuade:

"Master, you have to know Northern Fire isn't a small rchant association. That organization has a scale of tens of thousands of people."

"Are all these tens of thousands of people fools who can't out-calculate us? I don't think so..."

"I..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Louis Das said impatiently to him:

"Do you an—just because this matter seems to have sothing wrong, we should stop like this?"

"Let tell you, there are many strange things in this world... hm?"

Louis Das saw sothing very strange—those debt collectors who had just been persuaded to leave by him... how had they suddenly returned in such a short ti?

It hadn't even been an hour since they left...

"Wait..."

Looking at the copies of "Spark News" that almost everyone in that group was holding, Louis Das inexplicably felt an ominous premonition...
