Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Ethan has been paying attention to the exchange volume of banknotes. Recently, he has clearly found that the exchange volume of banknotes has risen again, and many of them come from other places. He originally thought it was the energy of Miloch.

When he was sighing at his strong energy, he immediately found something wrong.

Because with the increase in the amount of foreign exchange, the price of grain in Maro City has also begun to rise continuously.

This is not a good signal.

You must know that Maro City’s banknotes have only been implemented for a short time, and the parliament has just assured everyone that it will stabilize prices, especially the price of grain.

But not long after the words were released, the price of grain began to rise. Isn’t this a slap in the face?

It’s okay to slap in the face, the key is to affect the credit of the banknotes.

Of course, the impact on credit here does not mean that the price of grain cannot rise, but that this kind of rise without reason cannot occur.

Otherwise, everyone will think that the value of the banknotes is too low, which leads to the rise in grain prices.

In order to prevent the credit of the banknotes from being destroyed, Ethan immediately took action.

Fortunately, since the banknotes were anchored to grain, Ethan has considered the possible situations.

The current situation is within the scope of consideration, so there is a plan for response.

The parliament took back the right to operate grain before, just for this moment.

He immediately ordered the grain bureau under the parliament to purchase grain from local nobles and large grain merchants for unified distribution and dispatch.

First, start selling a large amount of grain to stabilize grain prices.

Second, separate bulk transactions from retail.

For all bulk transactions, it is allowed to rise, and the price is determined by supply and demand.

For retail, that is, facing the ordinary people of Maro City, it is sold at the original price.

At the same time, in order to prevent the people from making a profit by reselling grain, they are restricted from buying, and they are only allowed to buy the amount they need for life.

Of course, since the purchase restriction may cause panic, Ethan also explained it clearly to the people in the Maro Weekly.

The reason is that external forces are maliciously raising grain prices and deliberately undermining the stability of Maro City.

In this regard, Maro City has made sufficient preparations. While actively responding to the battle, it will also ensure the food supply of all people and maintain the price of grain.

The reason for the purchase limit is that they are worried that some unscrupulous merchants will help hostile forces for a little profit, thus destroying the stability of grain prices.

And Ethan's move has also produced different reactions for different people.

For most people, what they want is stable grain prices. Although Maro City has now started to limit purchases, the purchase limit per person per month is 40 kilograms.

You should know that a normal person consumes only 20 to 30 kilograms of grain per month, and even many people cannot reach this standard.

The purchase limit has actually far exceeded their usual purchase volume, so there is no panic, and they still live as they should.

For those nobles who have grain in their hands, they will hand over the grain to the Grain Bureau for operation.

Although they have lost the right to set their own prices, and now is a high price, they still have to sell part of the grain at a fair price, which will definitely result in losses.

But because those who own grain are basically members of the parliament, they are the beneficiaries of paper money income.

Of course, they know that the loss of this fair sale is not worth mentioning compared with the paper money share income.

Therefore, even if you think with your knees, you know that at this time, it is important to maintain the credit of paper money.

Therefore, it is natural that they are willing to hand over the grain to the grain bureau under the parliament for operation.

As for those nobles who have grain but no paper money, Ethan sent people to keep a close eye on them.

If they dare to bypass the grain bureau and trade privately, don't blame them for the butcher's knife falling on their heads.

Fortunately, they now know that the parliament cannot be provoked, and Ethan cannot be provoked even more, so most people still choose to hand over the grain to the grain bureau for unified operation.

Although it makes less money, it is better than losing your life.

It is in this situation of unity that the grain bureau confidently started a grain trade war with foreign capital.

Originally, the grain was released once every fifteen days, and the other party accepted it in full, so it was released once every ten days.

Still not working, then release it once every five days.

As long as the grain price is right, it will keep releasing orders.

The grain price has risen from 110% to 190%.

But even so, the other party still accepted it in full.

Ethan looked at the financial report on grain trade in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

He asked the director of the Food Bureau, Jaina Stein, "The opponent is the Iris Society, right?"

Jaina is a member of the Stein family. She will be 50 years old this year. She should be the cousin of the Duke of Lyon. She has been in charge of the grain business of the Duke's Mansion.

Now that the parliament has taken away the grain monopoly of the Duke's Mansion, she has also transformed herself into the director of the Food Bureau.

Faced with Ethan's question, Jaina shook her head: "Not very clear!

Although the other party exchanged paper money through Iris, they were originally large grain merchants from other places, and it is possible to belong to anyone.

In fact, I doubt whether there is such a so-called opponent.

Because I noticed that the price of grain is not only rising here, but also soaring in other regions.

So, I think, maybe it's not that someone is targeting us.

But...

Well...how to say it?

Is it possible that something is about to happen, such as a large-scale war or something like that.

Sir Ethan, you also know that some people can always get some news in advance and react in advance.

But they often shamelessly attribute the credit to their keen sense of smell. "

After hearing this, Ethan laughed.

"Your remarks have slapped many people in the face. I suggest you say less such words.

However, your guess is partially correct and something is going to happen.

But that doesn't stop someone from targeting us. "

Jaina smiled: "Thank you very much, Mr. Ethan, for your reminder. I think I will be more careful with what I say in the future.

However, can I ask, when you said something is going to happen, what specifically are you referring to? "

Ethan pursed his lips and said, "White roses and red roses are going to war again. Judging from the time, they probably won't be able to catch up with the spring planting."

When Jaina heard this, her pupils shrank.

"Sir Ethan, do you know what you are talking about?"

Ethan smiled and nodded: “Of course I know what I’m talking about, and I also know what you want to say.

If your guess is correct, you probably want to say that grain production will be reduced on a large scale, but it is dangerous for us to continue to impose restrictions like this, right? "

"Since you know that there may be a large-scale reduction in food production, you still ask me to sell a large amount of orders?" Jaina looked in disbelief: "If we don't have enough food by then, what will happen to Maro City?"

"Haha!" Ethan smiled slightly: "Don't worry! I assure you, our food reserves in Maruo City are not only enough for us to keep prices low.

It also ensures that no matter how many big orders there are outside, we can all eat them.

If you are worried, you are also worried about the appetite of those outside.

Now we take advantage of the high price and sell more. When they can’t eat anymore and start selling at low prices, we will eat back.

When the time comes, we will severely punish those speculators. "

When Jaina heard about the harvest, she did not appear happy, but instead showed a solemn look on her face.

As the director of the Grain Bureau, although she cannot know the specific grain reserves in Maruo City, she can still estimate the general amount.

From her point of view, the current food in Maruo City is simply not enough to cope with the coming famine.

So she asked the last question with a serious look: "Sir Ethan, are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Ethan replied.
