Chapter 670: Chapter 238: [Hero Training] Unlocked (10,000)
Lynn continued building the red brick houses.
It wasn’t until evening that he put down his tools and left the construction site.
The construction of three thousand red brick houses still required so ti.
However.
A portion of the peasants could already be arranged to move into the completed red brick houses.
Lynn estimated roughly in his mind.
There was at most half a month left.
This red brick residential area would be completed.
Passing through the existing residential area, Lynn arrived at Lord’s Square.
He observed the daily lives of the townspeople for a while and was about to return to the castle.
In the distance.
A line of carriages was driving along the listone road, slowly making its way toward Lord’s Square.
Perhaps because they were fully loaded.
The townspeople who had finished their work gave way to the carriage convoy.
The carriages continued moving slowly but steadily.
Lynn was not in a hurry.
He sat quietly on a wooden bench, waiting for the carriages to arrive.
After a few minutes.
The carriage convoy erged from the crowd.
With the driver pulling the reins, the horses neighed and stopped at an open space in Lord’s Square.
At the front.
Boer dismounted from his horse.
He strode toward Lynn with large steps.
Reaching Lynn, Boer, dressed in fine clothes, perford a standard rchant’s courtesy.
He smiled slightly, respectfully greeting, "Master Lynn."
Lynn smiled, "Indeed, Mr. Boer, you are my most loyal business partner!"
Since the winter snow lted.
Boer had co to his territory no less than five tis!
Of course.
He also understood that Boer aid to earn significant profits from the fine salt trade.
But every ti Boer ca, he brought a large quantity of grain.
He needed grain, and Boer needed fine salt.
They each got what they needed, leading to cooperation and trade.
Boer also smiled, "Master Lynn, you overpraise ; I’m just an ordinary rchant."
"Whatever you need, I will strive to procure it."
Lynn pondered for a mont.
Boer continued, "Master Lynn, this ti, I have also brought you a large amount of grain."
"Forty thousand pounds of barley, ten thousand pounds of wheat, and six thousand pounds of at, and four thousand pounds of vegetables."
"However, Master Lynn, the prices of these grains and at... have beco sowhat expensive."
"The market price of barley has risen to two pounds per penny, and wheat is even one pound for two pence!"
"at and vegetables have also doubled in price!"
Lynn, upon hearing this, opened the [Market and Prices] panel in his mind.
Indeed.
Just as Boer said.
Not only Morgan Town and Kasong City, but the prices of grain and at have also risen.
The nearby Wind Hill, distant Bordeaux City, even Triumph City!
The entire Karedi Empire’s prices are showing an ↑ upward trend!
Clearly.
Because of the power struggle between Mitchell and Caesar, gradually escalating into a royal war.
Many have sensed sothing is amiss.
They began stockpiling large amounts of grain.
Once the war breaks out, and the flas of war spread, many areas are bound to be unable to plant crops.
Then, the entire Karedi Empire will face a food shortage.
Causing demand to outstrip supply!
Lynn nodded and said, "Mr. Boer, price is not an issue."
"I still say the sa thing."
"As long as you can buy large quantities of grain from the market and transport it to my territory."
"No matter how high the market price, I can exchange it for the corresponding fine salt for you!"
Despite previously raiding the Three Great Estates and seizing a total of three million pounds of grain, at, and vegetables.
It seed a massive amount.
However.
These grains are needed to feed fifteen thousand people in the territory, along with a large number of poultry and livestock!
Therefore.
Before the barley planted in this territory is harvested.
He still needed to continuously purchase a large amount of grain from outside the territory.
To ensure the daily food consumption of the townspeople.
Boer bowed slightly, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Master Lynn."
"Oh, Master Lynn, there’s sothing I need to report to you."
Lynn looked at Boer, waiting for his narration.
Boer said, "Perhaps you already know, Lady Janet has taken control of all of Morgan Town."
"Without her permission, no Free People are allowed to go to other territories."
"In other words, the Free People in Morgan Town can only be employed at Frank Manor."
"I can no longer hire or lead Free People to your territory."
Lynn pondered for a mont, opened his mouth and said, "I am already aware of this issue."
Boer nodded, hesitating a bit, "Master Lynn, I do not know your relationship with Lady Janet."
"But I dare say, Lady Janet’s actions are targeted against you."
"Free People without a contract have the right to work in their preferred lord’s territory under the appropriate labor contract."
"Not only that, Master Lynn."
"Janet is recruiting soldiers extensively."
"Anyone willing to join Frank Manor as a soldier can receive a daily salary of three pence!"
"As far as I know, she has already recruited over a hundred people..."
Lynn nodded heavily.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Boer, I will take precautions."
Hearing Lynn’s genuine words, Boer felt sowhat surprised.
He had assud that saying such words would inevitably incur Master Lynn’s wrath and reprimand.
