Lord Harland.

After buying slaves from the Grand Duchy of Stanik, it has entered August.

August is the harvest season, because the territory has reclaimed a lot of farmland this year, and the grain production is still increasing greatly.

Combined with autumn grain and summer grain, this year's grain output has reached tons.

The territory has a population of more than 60,000. Saving some 15,000 tons of grain is enough, and 2,000 tons of grain will be left to grow grain next year. This year, there are 9,000 tons of surplus grain that can be used.

Because of the heavy losses in the liquor market, less than tons of grain were consumed in brewing liquor this year.

Last year, 8,000 tons of grain were stored, but this year less than 2,000 tons were consumed.

Today, there are tons of grain in Harland's territory.

Starting from this year, the territory of Harland will be able to sell thousands of tons of grain every year to make up for the loss of liquor profits.

There is a high probability that there will be no war next year. Richard only plans to reserve tons of grain, and the remaining tons of grain will be sold to the Duke of Edward.

This year the Dukedom of Edward suffered from a locust plague, causing a severe reduction in food production.

After the autumn grain arrived, Duke Edward's fleet came to Black River Fort and purchased a large amount of grain at a price two levels higher than the market price. If grain could be transported to Duke Edward, the price of grain would be two to three times higher than normal, or even five or ten times higher.

But earning this money may not save your life. Duke Edward is not a good-tempered person.Let you hoard in his territory and earn a lot of gold coins.

Eight thousand tons of grain is transported to Heihe Fort. According to this year's grain price, it can be sold for gold coins.

With this amount of funds, the income of the territory will increase sharply this year.

Richard sent this batch of old grain to Black River Fort by water transport, and met Sanji Tara, who was in charge of grain trade in the Dukedom of Edward.

Sanji Tara is Lady Tara's older brother.

Lady Tara is Duke Edward's court maid, very favored, has given birth to three children for Duke Edward.

Relying on Mrs. Tara's relationship, Sanji Tara became the commercial agent of Duke Edward.

Sangitara was very happy to see Li Cha transporting a large amount of grain.

After counting the food, Sangitara did not directly negotiate the price with Li Cha, but invited Li Cha to a banquet.

Richard also wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in Sanjitala gourd? So he followed Sanji Tara to the banquet. At the banquet, Richard met many acquaintances, including Viscount Roman, Baron Bazel, Baron Barton, Baron Green, etc.

There are a lot of farmland in these hereditary aristocratic territories, and they are the largest grain merchants in Heihe County.

Including Richard's five nobles, the grain sold reached 60,000 tons.

Sanji Tara clapped her hands, and a group of more than thirty beautiful girls appeared at the banquet.

These girls are tall, scantily clad, and have fiery eyes, making them look very sexy and alluring.

The nobles present are all strong professionals.

Whether you are a knight or a warrior, because your body is strong and energetic, you will secrete more hormones and dopamine, and your desire will be much stronger than that of ordinary people.

So most nobles will have a lot of women, powerful female knights, female warriors, and generally a lot of men.

This has nothing to do with morals or immorality, it is entirely determined by hormone levels.

As soon as these beautiful women appeared and surrounded the nobles, the blood of Viscount Roman and others immediately burst out, showing fire-breathing eyes.

Baron Barton had the worst self-control. At that time, he raised and lowered his hands regardless of the occasion, showing his ugly appearance. It seemed that he had to take a shot and enter the sage's time before he could wake up.

Although Li Cha was also aroused by desire, but because of his strong mental power, he was more sober than others.He squinted his eyes, pushed away the sexy woman who came up, and said directly: "Mr. Sanji gave us this hand, what exactly does it mean?"

"I just want to entertain everyone, thank you for selling food to us. If you like, this batch of beautiful women can be sold for everyone to enjoy."

The Duke of Edward has been severely affected by the disaster this year. The locust plague has reduced the territory's food supply by 70%.

Although Duke Edward has 100,000 tons of grain in storage, the territory's population of more than 2 million is crying out for food. Some of the 100,000 tons of grain in storage are military rations, and the grain reserves are far from enough.

Although Duke Edward has a lot of gold coins, he is unwilling to use them all to feed the serfs and the people.

Seeing that the food shortage was still very large, Duke Edward thought of an idea to exchange slaves for food.

Selling one slave saves one mouth, and one strong slave can get enough food for fifty slaves for a year.In this way, both increase income and reduce expenditure, the slave-for-grain trade is very suitable for this year's Dukedom of Edward.

Duke Edward knew very well that strong slaves could enhance the strength of his territory, so he planned to sell as many female slaves as possible.

Especially beautiful female slaves can be sold for hundreds of gold coins. If one can be sold, Duke Edward can feed five hundred or even a thousand ordinary people in disaster years.

Sanji Tara showed a group of female slaves with the highest prices this year. The most beautiful looks are not inferior to those of Sophia and Wendy, but because of their lower background, their temperament is not good enough.

In previous years, female slaves with this kind of appearance were basically sold in the royal capital, and were usually high-value commodities exclusive to the great nobles.

Hearing that Sanchi Tara was willing to sell these beautiful women, even Viscount Luomen was a little moved and immediately asked for the four girls with the largest breasts at the price of 500 tons of grain.

Viscount Luomen has a high prestige, and no one else dares to compete for the woman he wants.

Seeing that Richard had no intention of buying, Baron Basil, Barton, and Baron Green rushed to bid.

The three of them even fell in love with the same beautiful female slave. Baron Barton paid tons of food to snatch this beautiful female slave.

According to this year's grain price, tons of grain is about gold coins.

The gold coins of the Grant Kingdom weighed about sixty-five grams, and this beautiful woman only weighed one hundred kilograms. The price paid by Baron Barton actually exceeded one hundred and thirty kilograms of gold.

"The guy whose brain is occupied by hormones is really scary."

Richard looked at the few people speechlessly and walked out of the banquet hall, trying to calm down first.

Although the most beautiful female slaves were not purchased, the trade of slaves for food was very feasible.

After Baron Bazel and others completed the transaction, Li Cha talked with Sanji Tara about exchanging food for slaves.

Because Richard was only willing to accept slaves with complete families, the Duke of Edward finally sold slave families in exchange for tons of grain.

Among these 800 slave households, 300 households have no males, only 500 strong adult male slaves, 1,300 adult female slaves, and the remaining 2,600-odd slaves are all old people who cannot be sold at a high price. , children, in order to make the slaves feel at ease, Richard also took away a dozen fools and disabled people.

After completing the slave-for-grain trade, Richard checked the census and found that the population of the territory already exceeded 68,400.
