Lord of Flames - Chapter 161
Chapter 161: Trade for All! Explosive popularity all over the country
Less than half an hour after Meng Ying left, the first caravan drove up Passage of Hope! It was a small nobleman’s caravan, and there were five carts in the caravan.
The carts were pulled by two horses, each car could be loaded with at least two thousand catties.
The nobleman would earn 50 copper coins per catty, if he paid 20 copper coins per catty, and by selling it at the price of 70 copper coins per catty. With just 1 trip, he would earn 50 gold coins!
It was an amount that many commoners could not earn even in a few months!
The divine beans were basically in short supply. One trip a day and the nobleman would earn 1,500 gold coins a month!
And this was for a small noble!
Small nobles usually earned only a few hundred gold coins a month!
The high nobles would earn more than a thousand gold coins a month!
Not every noble had tens of millions of gold coins just like the Slow family!
In the entire eastern region, there were millions of people, and hundreds of high and small nobles. But there was only one Slow family, the wealthiest noble family!
The small nobleman could instantly multiply his income by selling divine beans. Did you think he won’t be willing to grab this opportunity?
Nobles were all shrewd.
Immediately after that, an even larger caravan appeared.
This caravan had a dozen carts!
These nobles were too aggressive!
And an hour after Meng Ying announced the news, the place was bustling.
Besides the nobles, there were also many commoners.
These commoners often formed a group of two or more than two people together, since some came up with cattle, some did not, and some brought the cart.
There were also ten commoners with magic bags who were ready to carry a hundred catties per person.
That was cost-effective!
One thousand catties had a profit of five gold coins!
If ten people collectively bought a thousand catties, it meant that each person would earn 0.5 gold coins, and that’s 50 silver coins.
And if they walked fast, they could do a 40 kilometers trip in just one day.
And it would be just one day’s income!
That meant that a person could earn fifteen gold coins a month, which was twice as high, if they were laboring for the nobles!
The degree of hard work was actually similar.
And after earning some money, they could buy a wooden carriage or something more efficient! These commoners used to live in poverty. And now they had such a good opportunity. Even if it was difficult and tiresome, they would definitely seize the opportunity!
This was the effect that the Yan Nation was expecting.
They earned money through the grace of the Great Lord of Flames. How could they not be grateful to the Lord of Flames? And those who saved their living expenses by eating divine beans would be equally grateful to the Lord of Flames as well. This would lay the best foundation for the future battle of faith!
And they could also sell the divine beans.
There were just too many divine beans all over the Yan Nation.
Digesting them all by themselves would be impossible.
Come to think of it, a large part of the God’s Miraculous Wasteland, which was hundreds of kilometers long and dozens of kilometers wide, was full of divine beans. And the Misty Mountains range, which was even wider than the area of the Miraculous Wasteland, was also full of divine beans.
And the rest of the plains in the Yan Nation were also full of divine beans.
And the average harvest cycle of these divine beans was now less than two months.
Which meant that the magisters of the Yan Nation would produce more and more divine beans. The bonus effect of Lin Yan’s title of Flame of Civilization was also very good!
In fact, the bonus of the title of Flame of Civilization already involved the power of certain rules, and if it was promoted to the highest level, it could even involve the power of certain laws.
Otherwise, how could Lin Yan obtain a law with the highest and the Flame of Civilization?
So there were many divine beans and the Yan Nation with over two million people probably couldn’t eat all of them, even if the orcs had an enormous appetite!
So, selling out was just the right thing.
And the reason why Meng Ying proposed a limit of one thousand catties was also very simple, because the Yan Nation only accepted gold coins!
The purchase price of one thousand catties was exactly 2 gold coins.
By doing so, Yan Nation would be able to collect a constant stream of gold coins from the Xi Ling Kingdom.
Then the Yan Nation could issue a purchase demand at the same time. And the caravans that came to transport divine beans would also transport the goods from the Xi Ling Kingdom which would be purchased by the Yan Nation.
This would spread the gold coins of the Yan Nation in large quantities!
In fact, the Yan Nation had started making silver coins as well.
On the continent of the gods, gold and silver coins were the main coins in the circulation, and the copper coins often only played a role of change.
However, no silver ore had been found in the Misty Mountains range, so the Yan Nation was also buying silver ore in large quantities.
The Passage of Hope was bustling like never before.
On the passage, there were many orc warriors to maintain the order.
As there might be troublemakers who would be directly driven away and added to the blacklist, so that no one would dare to make trouble at all.
Due to the presence of huge orc warriors, no one dared to make any trouble at all.
The caravans came and went.
The newly renovated Yan Pass was bustling like never before.
The potatoes(Divine Beans) were transported by the orcs from the Yan Nation and then pulled away by the caravans from the Xi Ling Kingdom.
The efficiency was quite high.
As long as the people of the Xi Ling Kingdom reported the number and paid, they would receive a voucher. And then they would take this voucher to another place to load the divine beans.
The place where the divine beans were loaded was wide, and the orcs were so efficient that they loaded the thousand catties very quickly, and as soon as someone else’s caravan passed by, they could keep loading it quickly.
In addition, Yan Pass separated the nobles from the commoners.
The nobles could have twenty carts filled with divine beans out of the gate, and the commoners had about thirty carts!
This was to ensure that these commoners were not excluded by the nobles.
“We’re rich! We’re rich! We pulled 2,000 catties this trip, and we can earn 10 gold coins.”
The Passage of Hope was full of excited voices.
Whether it was the nobles or the commoners, their faces were all joyful.
Who wouldn’t be happy about earning money?
There were already enough people coming on the first day.
And the next day, even more people came.
There were even bigger caravans coming.
These caravans were ready to sell divine beans to further places.
Meng Ying did not set the selling price of the divine beans.
In the current situation where the price of the rice per catty kept on rising, even if these people started selling divine beans for 1 silver coin a catty, it was estimated that people would be willing to buy from them.
So, the next day, the sales of the potatoes in the Yan Pass were even more exaggerated.
But not so much that there would be any shortage of divine beans.
After all, the fox girl Qing Ling had been preparing for it for a long time, and there was still a large amount of divine beans entering the Yan Pass every day.
From the third day onwards, the divine beans from Yan Nation were sold to other regions of the Xi Ling Kingdom.
And more and more people poured into Yan City.
Even the 100-meter wide Passage of Hope showed a crowded situation at all times.
From the fifth day onwards, the noble caravans from other regions began to come to Yan Pass to transport divine beans. It was a huge business opportunity that was discovered by more and more people.
In front of the temptation of gold coins, more and more people in the Xi Ling Kingdom participated in the trafficking of the divine beans.
The divine beans were sold for 1 silver coin a catty, which was still more than twice as cheap compared to rice, which led the divine beans to start exploding in all regions of the Xi Ling Kingdom!
