Chapter 457 Worthless Wheat and Collapsed Kingdom Nobles!(2/2)
"Quick, send someone immediately to bring back all the people who are buying food!"
…
Five minutes ago, in the city of kerosene, inside the newly built wizard academy.
Ivina fished out about ten kilograms of wheat grain from the wooden box where the wheat was stored, packed it in strong coarse cloth, and went out.
"Are you going to the granary to sell wheat again?" In the living room, Monroe, who was doing his daily prayers, suddenly opened his eyes and called out to the girl who was about to go out.
"Yes, yesterday those wizards lowered the price of food again. I think this may have some profound meaning." Ivina replied calmly.
"What do you mean? I'm afraid the parliament is running out of funds, right?" Monroe said with a sneer.
Thanks to Ivina's secret investigation, he also 'understood' the reason why those wizards were able to persist in the food war until now!
The parliament is working through its operations to buy back all the meager grain reserves in the hands of the poor at very low prices to support the food war and maintain the most basic dignity!
But this is just a temporary measure after all, and it won’t last long!
Monroe even believed that today was the day when the wizards revealed their true colors, and the five thousand tons of wheat should be the last inventory.
Ivina pursed her lips. She had different ideas from Monroe, but she didn't mean to argue. After taking the ten kilograms of wheat grain, she went out.
No one stopped or questioned her along the way. After all, it was not the first day she went out to sell grain. They were not the only ones buying and selling wheat during this period.
Many wizards regard this as an opportunity to make a lot of money, but they just don't have enough place to accumulate wheat, and they don't have the financial resources to compete with those wealthy merchants and nobles. They usually can only buy low and sell high to make a fortune.
When Ivina arrived at the granary, there was a long queue here. Although the price of wheat purchased by the council would decrease every day, the number of people coming to sell grain increased instead of decreasing!
This also surprised Ivina. You must know that there is a gap of five thousand times between the purchase price of the wizards and the market price!
In other words, if you sell ten kilograms of wheat to the parliament, you can only get one copper coin. If you are willing to sell it to major grain merchants, it will be worth a full fifty silver coins!
After maintaining silence for nearly a month, Ivina finally couldn't help but asked.
After hearing the girl's question, the townspeople waiting in front of the granary looked at Ivina with extremely envious eyes. Until the girl was about to ask again, Su wrapped a little old grain in rags.
Shan sighed and said.
"You have never experienced famine, have you, Lord Wizard?"
