Live Broadcast: I Am A Lord In Another World

"Lord, another slave trader is here."

On Richard's territory, several slave traders came.

The scale of the slave traders this time was not small, bringing more than a dozen carriages.

However, the iron cages of more than a dozen carriages were sealed up with wooden boards to form sealed carriages.

Richard had seen these slave traders before.

They're the same ones who sold the tauren to Richard.

"Lord, is there any food for sale?"

asked a slave trader.

Slave merchants started buying food?

Seeing that Richard seemed puzzled, the slave trader said: "Under the locust plague, the most valuable thing is food. Few people buy orc slaves."

Richard asked, "Are you from the kingdom of orcs?"

The slave trader nodded and said: "Yes, the orc kingdom is too chaotic now. In order to compete for food, there are wars everywhere. It is said that some big tribes and even "June 13" are planning to join forces to attack the royal city and rob the royal city of food. gone."

Beside Richard, Mia and Dorothy were a little surprised when they heard the words of the slave trader.

"Has the orc kingdom become this chaotic?"

Richard whispered.

The slave trader sighed, and said: "Yes, the locust plague is too powerful this time, and the most fearful thing now is that when the orcs attack and decide to go south to plunder, that will be even worse.

Orcs going south?

There is a certain possibility.

When people are at the end of their road, they can do anything, let alone beastmen.

However, Richard is not particularly worried. The best route for the orcs to go south is not through his territory. There are quite a few mountains between his territory and the orc kingdom, and there is a flat place in the southeast direction, which is where the orcs go south. best route.

Richard got down to business.

"What's the price of food?"

The slave trader said: "The sun-dried wheat is 5 copper coins a catty, and I will take as much as I have."

5 copper coins a catty?

This price has increased several times.

You know, the price of wheat sold in the past was at most 2 to 3 copper coins per catty.

Ordinary families, after paying taxes, live on several hundred thousand jins of wheat throughout the year.

After all, the wheat varieties in this world are average, and the yield is not good. It is considered good if one mu of land can produce three to four hundred catties.

If you encounter a better land, the production will be one or two hundred catties more.

Ordinary people can only plant a few acres of land.

Richard pondered for a while, and said: "5 copper coins, because it's too low!"

The slave merchant said, "6 copper coins, not too much."

Richard said: "I don't have wheat, but I have potatoes, which taste better."

The slave trader showed interest and said, "Lord, what are potatoes?"

Richard said: "You can stay and taste it later."

More than half an hour later, the slave trader ate a baked potato, and was immediately attracted by the smell of the baked potato.

The staple food of the human kingdom in this world is mainly bread.

However, the bread in the human kingdom is not like before crossing, there are bread improvers, baking powder and other things that improve the taste.

Basically hard, unpalatable black bread.

The aristocrat's food is slightly more delicate, but in Richard's opinion, it is also difficult to swallow.

And the bread is troublesome to make.

The wheat has to be slowly ground into flour.

Ordinary civilians spend their days farming, grinding flour, and making bread.

Grinding flour takes a lot of time.

In contrast, potatoes are much more convenient. You don’t need to take care of them after planting, and they are easy to eat, baked, or whatever.

After the slave trader ate a potato, he was full of praise.

"Lord, how about 6 copper coins per catty?"

asked the slave trader.

Richard shook his head and said: "10 copper coins a catty, no bargaining is accepted.

After hesitating for a long time, the slave trader said, "Okay, I accept this price."

In the end, Richard sold a total of 10,000 catties of potatoes to the slave merchant, and sold 100,000 copper coins, which was only 10 gold coins.

The price of these potatoes Richard bought for about one yuan per catty.

That is to say, only seven or eight times the profit.

Naturally, there are no such profits as glasses.

But after all, you can't put too many glasses out.

Rare things are more expensive, if they are everywhere, it is impossible to sell a few gold coins.

Selling food is a long-lasting business, and it can also bring more caravans to Richard's territory.

As for whether potato breeding will be learned by people in this world, Richard is not worried.

Planting potatoes looks simple, but in fact there are many things to pay attention to, and now that the locust plague is raging, whoever dares to grow food will definitely eat the potatoes as soon as they get them.

In addition, winter will come in a few months, and there will be a food crisis everywhere.....

Even if someone secretly learns to breed potatoes, it will be next year, and it will be the next year to grow them slowly. For Richard, he has already earned enough gold coins with potatoes.

There are so many good things in another world, Richard naturally wouldn't stare at the potatoes and squeeze them all the time.

After selling the potatoes, Richard took out several glasses, combs, pearl necklaces and the like, and emptied all the thirty or so gold coins left on the slave merchant.

In the future, when a caravan buying grain comes over, Richard also plans to deal with it in the same way. After selling the grain, he will empty out the other party's gold coins with glasses.

"By the way, I almost forgot one important thing."

Although the slave merchant's gold coins were spent, he didn't feel distressed at all, but rather pleased.

He opened a carriage, and what was inside was a petite animal-eared lady.

"Beastman slaves are not easy to sell now, but this bunny girl is the best. How about it, is it okay to exchange this rabbit girl for the mirror you just took out?"

The slave trader was obsessed with the mirror Richard had just produced.

"Rabbit girl."

Behind Richard, Mia and Mi Wei saw the bunny girl inside.

"Where did you get it?"

Mia's voice was bad.

She actually hates the slave traders, Caiwei was sold to Richard by these slave traders.

However, Mi Wei was lucky and met Richard.

If it is sold to other 5.4 nobles, it will be bad.

Seeing Mia's expression, the slave trader hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, we never take the initiative to attack orcs. We all bought them from some tribes. This bunny girl was sold to us by a goblin tribe."

"It's a goblin again!"

Hearing the word goblin, Mia hummed lightly.

Richard took out a mirror, handed it to the slave trader, and said, "Here you are."

The slave trader happily took the mirror from Richard, and said to Richard, "She is yours now.

"Hold her down."

Mia jumped into the carriage and carried the unconscious bunny girl down, followed by Caiwei and Dorothy.

Perhaps because of the same experience, Mi Wei felt sympathy for this rabbit girl. .
