I can infinitely synthesize more advanced items

Sufficient food was transported from Blue Star, and on the basis of a large number of jobs provided by the City Lord's Mansion, the residents of Mudstone City have basically bid farewell to the past situation of not having enough food and lack of clothes.

Residents can not only feed themselves, but even store a lot of food at home.

Of course, it is not that there are very few lazy people who are poor and unwilling to find a job, but for such people, let alone the City Lord's Mansion, I am afraid that God will not be able to help them.

After all, even those displaced beggars can find enough work to support themselves.

Such a change can be said to be unprecedented in Mudstone City.

In the minds of the residents, the impression of the city lord's mansion has reached an unprecedented height, and it is no longer the bandit group that they once spurned behind their backs.

As long as the Lord City Master is mentioned, he will be full of praise.

However, there are also some people whose life is becoming more and more difficult, and the first to bear the brunt are the three major grain merchants in the city.

Huimin Grain Store, this is the largest grain store in Mudstone City.

However, contrary to its name, as long as Huimin Grain Store is mentioned, many people will grit their teeth and curse "black-hearted store" in their hearts.

Problems such as selling old rice as new rice, adding sand to the grain, and shortages of catties and grains are not uncommon in the three major grain shops, and Huimin grain shops are the most common.

However, with these few grain merchants controlling most of the land in Nishi City and more than [-]% of the grain in Nishi City, the people had to compromise again and again in order to fill their stomachs.

In exchange, the grain merchants became more and more arrogant and unscrupulous.

The soaring price of grain in Mudstone City this time was led by the Huimin Grain Shop, which joined forces with the other two major grain shops.

At this time, it was in a luxurious house in the east of the city.

Abby, the owner of Huimin Grain Shop, is sitting in the living room with a sad face.

There are other members of the Ai family beside them.

"Father, if this continues, our grain store will close down." The eldest son said with a bitter face.

"But what can we do? Now our five granaries are full of rice. Just to preserve so much grain, we have to spend a lot of money a day. However, our three shops in the city are now selling rice. No food." The second son sighed.

"If the second uncle hadn't proposed to buy food from the official store before, maybe our current situation would not have become so bad." The third son complained, pointing the finger at the second uncle.

The second uncle retorted angrily: "Didn't all of you agree at the time? Why is it all my fault now?"

Just four or five days ago, when they bought a large amount of food from the official store, all of them were overjoyed.

Laughing at the City Lord's Mansion behind his back is being taken advantage of.

The eldest son said bitterly: "It's all the damn city lord's mansion's fault. Why did they sell it for two copper coins a catty? It made it impossible for us to do business now. I really hope that the army of the kingdom will attack quickly and kill these hateful thieves." The group drove away."

Someone suggested: "Why don't we also lower the price, the official store sells the price of two copper coins per catty, we also sell two copper coins, the same price, I don't believe it can't be sold."

But this proposal was immediately opposed by many people.

"Sell two coppers? I think you're crazy!"

"We bought two copper coins back and sold two more copper coins, so what else do we earn?"

"That's right, I don't agree either..."

After arguing for a long time, no one has been able to come up with a good solution.

Now the business roads from Mudstone City to the outside world have been blocked by Winter Cloud City, and their food cannot be sold in the city, and the situation is getting worse day by day.

"Enough, stop arguing!"

Abby slapped the table violently. He was already irritable, but when he heard everyone arguing, he became even more angry.

Everyone quiet down.

Abby said: "Wait for a while, if the official store continues to sell two copper coins, then we will also sell two copper coins."

"Father, isn't it a loss for us?" the eldest son said hastily.

Abby gritted her teeth and said, "Then what can we do? Don't you dare to trouble the City Lord's Mansion?"

The eldest son stopped talking.

Abby continued: "However, we only sell a small amount of food to meet our daily needs. During this time, everyone tightened their belts and stopped being so extravagant like before. Don't worry, this gang of thieves will not be proud for long, Kingdom Sooner or later the army will attack, and then our good days will return."

In desperation, everyone can only agree with Abby's next move.

Not only the Huimin store, but also the other two grain stores, as well as the fabric store in the city, have become more difficult than ever.

……

If you look down from a high enough height, the Emerald Mountains are like an irregular belt, starting from the northwest of the mudstone grassland and extending downward, forming an ellipse to wrap the mudstone grassland.

The north, northeast, and east are the territory of the Moonlight Kingdom. From here, the grasslands are still surrounded by mountains.

In the southeast, there is a coastline of six to seventeen miles long.

The Lushui River, which runs across the mud-rock grassland, flows into the sea from here.

Every year, there will be some vicious sea people who enter the inland along the river from here to plunder.

At noon, the sky was scorched by the sun.

At this time, a large group of sea people came from the shallow sea and set foot on land at the mouth of the Lushui River.

For many human races, most sea races look vicious.

Because the appearance of the sea clan is often related to their blood. For example, the sea clan with a certain crab blood may have the head of a human crab and thick armor.

There are probably thousands of Sea Clan members who landed.

The leader of the Sea Clan has a big bloody mouth, sharp teeth, and nine twisted tentacles like snakes on its head.

"Master Viscount, are we really going to land and fight in broad daylight?"

Another Sea Clan with a shrimp head next to him couldn't help worrying: "Otherwise, we will make a surprise attack at night, and we will definitely win this battle."

According to past practice, they often landed and attacked at night.

After all, the sea clan's home field is in the water, and fighting against land races on land is inherently a disadvantage.

And they will take the opportunity to plunder a large number of goblin slaves before the main force of the human race arrives, so as to avoid conflict with the main force of the human race.

This happens every year, and they have already concluded a set of effective plans that can obtain the greatest benefits at the least cost.

However, this time it was Viscount Myers who led the team.

Hearing this, Myers slapped him with a slap, until the shrimp-headed Sea Clan turned around three times on the spot.

"You bastard, how can I, Miles, be like the trash in the past? I want to defeat those weak human races upright, so that I can demonstrate the bravery of the blood of the Hydra!" Viscount Miles reprimanded.

"Master Viscount is mighty!"

A few flattering Sea Clans next to him immediately complimented in unison.
