Lord of Plenty
Chapter 11 Open-air Auction
As for those weeds that can produce more seeds, he is not crazy.
In this world where most of the lower class people are still hungry, why use the fertile land of Fengrao Territory to grow those weeds that can neither be used nor eaten?
Looking at the history of the two worlds, it is fine in peacetime, but once there is a disaster or war, such a ridiculous lord will be arrested and tied to the gallows.
Although the price of green wheat is low, it can make people full.
As long as there is enough food in Fengrao Territory, it can attract more people, and more people can have spare capacity to cultivate more land.
Everything will develop in a good direction, and he can still figure this out.
So Kun has high hopes for it. With the vast fertile black soil of Fengrao Territory, he thinks that as long as the green wheat is harvested this year, he can light up the second corner, and even the third corner of the rich mark.
As for why he came here to buy seeds when he already had high-yield green wheat seeds?
This involves some unknown limitations of the ability of the Mark of Plenty to fuse seeds of two different crops [Share].
Simply put, the basic rules of the two worlds are different, and the crops of the other world cannot survive normally in Yongxu Continent.
If Kun uses the first corner of Plenty [Share] to fuse two varieties of green wheat native to Yongxu Continent, it is fine, then the seeds of this green wheat can continue to be planted.
On the contrary, high-yield green wheat that fuses wheat varieties from two different worlds, although it has the characteristics of high yield of wheat from another world, cannot continue to be planted no matter how full the seeds are.
Fortunately, whether the seeds can continue to be planted does not affect the degree of unlocking of the Mark of Plenty in Kun's hand.
On the north side of the Plenty Valley, near the direction of the Emerald Heart Farm, there are about 350 hectares of fertile land under his name, which is about 5,000 acres of high-quality farmland.
This does not include the relatively poor fertile land on the other side of the valley that belongs to the farmers of the farm. These lands are actually only a small part of the valley near the farm. There are more vast lands that are not manpower enough to be cultivated.
One acre of land requires 40 kilograms of green wheat seeds. Five thousand acres of land requires a full 100 tons of green wheat seeds alone!
And the high-yield wheat seeds in another world also require the same amount.
This is actually Kun's biggest headache.
It's easy here. No matter how short of money he is, he can still afford 100 tons of green wheat, but the high-yield wheat seeds on Blue Star are really more troublesome.
Because my good friend Li Tianyun is a complete pauper, the kind with a cleaner pocket than his face.
The simplest way is to bring some gold coins from here, melt them into gold and sell them.
But the problem is that not only is the household registration strictly checked there, but the large income from unknown sources is checked even more strictly.
"Alas."
Life is not easy, the lord sighed.
And the biggest problem is that because of the existence of this alien, Li Tianyun really can't stand the investigation.
Originally, a terminally ill patient who was diagnosed by the doctor as not living for more than a month, lived for two years without any problems, which was enough to attract people's attention.
This can also be explained as a "miracle of life" and "man conquers nature". What about Kun, the "foreigner" who pops up from time to time, and Comrade Li Hotpot who is not disguised as much?
After all, the Blue Star world is a fairly mature civilization. Mechanical eyes similar to detection magic are installed in every corner of the city, covering all kinds of places that people can't expect.
Even if he is a super high-level wizard, he can't avoid the sight of those who must explore him.
Nothing is difficult in the world, only "people with a heart" are afraid.
This is Li Tianyun's mantra that he always says, which is actually reminding him to be low-key when doing things on Blue Star.
The market price of a pound of high-quality wheat seeds is about five to six yuan, and a hundred tons of wheat seeds require a full million Blue Star coins.
That's why Kun joked about stealing the recipe of the fat house's happy water last time he came to Blue Star. It's really a penny that stumps the alien, and the landlord has no surplus food.
If he can't get the high-yield seeds from Blue Star, he can only settle for the second best and plant the ordinary green wheat seeds here, which can yield about three to four times less.
Fortunately, Kun has a lot of land under his name. Although the yield is not as high as expected, there should be no problem opening the second corner of the abundance mark in his hand after the autumn harvest.
If he is really forced into a corner, he can only copy and find a way to select and cultivate local high-yield green wheat seeds.
The advantage of this is that it can save a lot of money on Blue Star, and it is expected to save the same amount of money every year.
The disadvantage is that breeding is not simple.
Whether he cultivates it himself or finds someone to cultivate it, although there are ready-made methods, just translating and explaining the breeding methods on Blue Star to others will take up a lot of his energy, which seems to be a bit of a loss in Kun's opinion.
Things that can be solved with money are often the simplest and most labor-saving.
So Kun's heart still prefers to spend money to buy seeds directly, fuse seeds, and then sow and harvest. It is simple and efficient.
But we can only take it one step at a time to decide which method will be used in the end.
As the most important core trading city in the north of the kingdom, Lovos City gathers all kinds of fine goods from the entire northern region.
The furs and precious magic cores from the Ever Dark Forest, the special magic potions from the Forbidden Scorched Earth, the cold iron ore from the Everfrost Mountains, and the goods produced in the territories of the major lords in the north can basically be found here.
And the merchants of all sizes in the south only need to bring a cart of black tea, spices, and brocade that the northern nobles urgently need, and they can easily sell out all the goods in their hands.
Then, at a relatively low price, they can exchange those valuable precious goods from the local mercenaries and adventurers. If they can be safely transported back to the south, it will be another considerable income.
A line of carriages from the Rich Territory slowly stopped at an open-air square in the south of Lovos City.
Every half a month, Lovos City will hold a large open-air auction here, not only will there be trade of goods from the north and the south, but also lords who are not doing well in business will sell their own territories of grain, serfs, and farm tools at low prices.
The main purpose of Kun's trip was to come for this.
Because the four huge and strange black wheels installed on the gorgeous carriage attracted many curious eyes.
However, anyone with a little knowledge, after noticing the family emblem of the knight with a thorn ring on his head and holding a flag on the carriage, moved away their inquiring eyes.
However, some brokers who thought they were shrewd had their eyes lit up, moved their feet, and quickly contacted the merchant groups and big merchants they were familiar with.
The Alan family is a noble family ranked among the kingdom, a military family, not to mention the thorn ring on the head of the family emblem, which naturally means something.
In a place like the capital where nobles gather, it is naturally nothing big.
But in this bitter and cold northern land, even a lord who is not considered a noble is a big man who can be crowned with the title of a certain "master".
Moreover, here, there are more big merchants who tie their heads to their waists and travel on long trade routes just to make money.
As long as there is money and goods, let alone nobles, even low-status slaves will not prevent them from doing business.
"What a lively market!"
Kun Dong looked around after getting off the car. Such a chaotic and lively scene could not be seen in the capital.
In the open-air auction square, a southern merchant wearing a mink hat and thick fur coat stood on the roof of a cloaked carriage and shouted loudly:
"Exquisite pottery, top-quality pottery produced locally in Mi'an City, white pottery made by masters, don't miss it if you pass by!"
The people surrounding the trucks rushed to grab it, but some people dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like butlers showed disdain and stayed away from this side.
The big market in the south of Lovos City, which is held every half a month, is a mixed bag, with all kinds of goods, and most of them are black-hearted merchants who transport ordinary goods from the south as high-end goods.
You must keep your eyes open when buying things here, otherwise you will not be able to find anyone to return those inferior goods after the other party runs away.
Those who know the business know that Mi'an City is indeed a well-known pottery capital in the south of the kingdom. The most famous is of course the elegant white pottery that is highly sought after by the nobles. It is not an exaggeration to say that each one is made by a master.
However, Mi'an City does not produce clay for making white pottery. It is purchased from neighboring countries at high prices.
Such fine goods are rare in the south. If they are placed in a boutique display cabinet, it would be fine. How could they be pulled here by a carriage?
Too fake, too cheap!
A beautiful woman with a veil on her face and a proud figure walked among the crowd with a flower basket. When she met a young female customer, she asked:
"Purple irises picked from the Sunset Desert symbolize a passionate and beautiful love. Buy one and get one free. It only takes one silver coin. Do you want to buy one for your lover?"
Iris is a serious magical plant. It is a rare magical plant that only grows in a few places such as the Sunset Desert. In particular, the purple irises produced in the Sunset Desert have the best effect.
Kun once studied and cultivated this magic flower with a slight "race charm" magic.
If a person wears it, it can charm the human race. If a dwarf wears it, it cannot charm the human race, so it is just a magic flower with a slight "race charm" magic.
The real "race charm" is a high-level magic that can only be used by great magicians, and it is not limited to race, gender, and age.
In Kun's opinion, this kind of magic that breaks and distorts the inherent aesthetics of the race is actually very scary, and it is also one of the magics that the Mage Association has ordered to prohibit practice.
Among the female nobles of the kingdom, it is very popular to apply iris juice on their nails.
This popularity is roughly the same as the male nobles' pursuit of strengthening drugs in certain aspects, and psychological comfort is greater than the actual effect.
There are more mercenaries and adventurers with a murderous aura here, just find a linen blanket and spread it on the ground, and there are all kinds of messy things.
Unknown black minerals, blood-stained monster fur, fangs, and shrunken fruits are all items that merchants have pushed down the price too much, and they think they are extremely valuable, waiting for people who know the value of the goods, that is, the suckers.
"What is that?"
The direction of Li Tianyun's finger is a cage that is hung up and woven with fine iron wire.
Inside the iron cage is a group of magical creatures that are only the size of a fist, with transparent wings like dragonflies and delicate faces like young girls.
The pot-bellied boss narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Tianyun, who was dressed in aristocratic clothes, and said with a smile:
"Sir, do you want to buy flower fairies? They are all newly captured from the Ever Dark Forest. As long as Tiao teaches these little creatures well, they can do any job.
Help move books and deliver snacks. Even if you put them on your shoulders, it is pleasing to look at them. They are not expensive, only one gold coin each. If you buy more, the price can be negotiated."
Li Tianyun frowned. Although he didn't understand what the man said, the look that seemed to want to slaughter him like a chicken or a duck made him very uncomfortable.
Kun helped translate the original words of the profiteer.
"Flower fairies, is there such a magical creature in this world?"
Li Tianyun was full of curiosity and couldn't help but sigh.
If this beautiful creature was placed on Blue Star, it would definitely be protected at the same level as the giant panda, and it would never be sold casually.
"What flower fairy? Don't be fooled by this guy.
When you see them lying on the cage, the wings on their backs are standing up. When a real flower fairy falls, the wings on its back will fold down. This is a cage of evil flower fairies!"
"Evil flower fairies?"
Noticing the strange look from the profiteer, Kun also looked at the profiteer with a smile and said in the Blue Star language that he couldn't understand:
"One is a vegetarian, just feed it some flower petals and fruits and vegetables, the wisdom is equivalent to a five-year-old child, and the temperament is kind.
The other one is smarter, equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old human, but knows how to disguise itself as harmless, and likes bloody meat the most.
Don't look at this thing as small, but its lethality is not low at all. Every year, there are many unlucky people who are bitten in the throat by evil flower fairies while they are sleeping at night."
Li Tianyun: ...
Not only for money, but also for life. It seems that these damn profiteers are not rare in every world.
Li Tianyun turned and left, and Kun followed him with a smile. He also looked meaningfully at the fairy vendor who was a little confused and didn't know how to lose the big business that was almost certain to win this time.
"Heh! A bunch of stupid people who don't know the goods, they don't have money, so why pretend to be masters, and they mutter a few words of bird language that they can't understand. Is it great to know a few words of bird language..."
The fairy black merchant spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground while cursing. Seeing a female customer next to him frowning and leaving his stall, he quickly wiped the saliva on the ground with his heel and put on a warm expression again.
The fairy black merchant, who was busy cursing and soliciting customers again, did not notice that a thin vine on the ground was sticking out a thin and long bud, and tried to spread and grow along the direction of the iron frame towards the wire cage where the evil flower spirit was hung.
