Chapter 79 -79 The Beginning of Block Trading

On the bustling streets, people looked up at the sky because there was a huge bird up there.

Of course, calling it a bird isn’t quite right, since it was a Mechanical Flying Eagle.

It’s rare to see such a Black Iron level alchemy unit in this place.

The Mechanical Flying Eagle gradually descended, and a well-dressed person disembarked.

Behind him, swiftly running guards surrounded him and separated him from the people around.

“I am Jia Siwei, and I want to see Bruce,” said Jia Siwei, who had just flown in.

As for the guards by his side, they included various races of farmer units and, of course, some combat units.

Though these units weren’t very powerful, it didn’t really matter here.

Because these combat units weren’t very intelligent, they appeared to be a well-trained professional group.

Finding capable individuals was easy, but finding well-trained ones was not so simple.

Jia Siwei had been doing well in Mira City recently, partly because these people made for impressive frontage.

“Do you have an appointment?” asked a guard at the door in a low voice, eyes flashing with disdain.

He seemed imposing, but his power was weak.

Even though Jia Siwei had been running around lately, he was merely a jester in the eyes of the nobles.

Viscount Bruce, the local lord, wasn’t someone he was qualified to see.

Jia Siwei didn’t take it to heart, seemingly oblivious, “Please tell the Viscount that I have a big business deal to discuss with him.”

“What big deal?

We are not interested in your petty enterprises.”

A young man came out, glaring at Jia Siwei with arrogance.

Jia Siwei recognized him; it was Erminuo, Viscount Bruce’s son, quite infamous in Mira City, but not for good reasons.

“Lord Erminuo, I am here on grain business this time.”

“Hmph, grain business, how much do you have?

We in Mira City are not short of grain.”

True, Mira City was a city, and how could a city lack a bit of grain?

Although Jia Siwei conducted business everywhere, his goods were average, and the quantities never large.

The most he dealt in were low-level Puppet troops, which were more of a novelty.

Indeed, the power was not impressive, nor were the quantities substantial.

His other trades were merely about buying low and selling high, considered the lowest among traders by their eyes, and he hadn’t scaled up enough to catch their interest.

“Of course, Mira City is big, but winter is nearly upon us.

Every year, winter is tough in Mira City, especially this year, which is said to be particularly cold.”

The Kingdom had an official department to predict the weather, and these forecasts were highly accurate.

These predictions, almost prophetic or divine, were much more reliable than ordinary weather forecasts.

“So, you have a large quantity of grain?” Although Erminuo seemed unimpressive, he wasn’t ignorant.

They were fine with a small amount of grain, but large quantities were a different matter.

Every winter was difficult, and other places suffered the same.

Positioned on the western edge of the New Moon Kingdom near the border, Mira City often faced disturbances from enemy countries or Magic Beast attacks among other issues.

At such times, the city had to rely on its own food reserves and support the military’s consumption.

If unable to sustain, they might even need to temporarily reduce military forces during the winter.

Although they could recruit them again the following year, this recurring issue inevitably led to complications.

With frequent reductions, some people did not wish to join the military, and winter posed greater risks.

Now, it was still challenging for the Kingdom to transport grain here, making winters difficult.

Jia Siwei laughed, finally convincing the young man, “This time, I’ve brought over a hundred million units of grain.”

The grain harvested by Fang Jie this time exceeded two hundred million units.

In this world, a unit was roughly equivalent to one kilogram, seemingly not much, depending on the extent and duration of Fang Jie’s farmland cultivation.

Initially, those fields were not extensive, only covering the first month.

More fields were cultivated continually, and a steady stream of grain would be produced in the future.

For Mira City, while a hundred million units of grain was not an overwhelming amount, it would certainly help alleviate the immediate crisis.

A hundred million units of grain could sustain a hundred thousand troops for a winter.

Grain was the lifeline, the stabilizer.

With so much grain, Mira City would be much more stable during the winter.

If more soldiers could be recruited, perhaps they could even strike back during the winter, achieving meritorious deeds.

Erminuo, being the second son of Viscount Bruce, was unlikely to inherit the title.

Thus, gaining his own title through merit was his most effective course.

Ermino realized this was an excellent opportunity.

“Good, if there is really so much grain, then I’ll make a deal with you.

Tell me, how many Gold Coins do you need?”

Jia Siwei’s eyes flickered, “No, no, no, how can so much grain be traded for Gold Coins?”

“What do you want then?” Ermino was somewhat angry.

Gold Coins he could provide, but if the other party demanded something else, he had no means to fulfill it.

If he couldn’t secure this order himself, his achievements would be minimal.

Achievements weren’t enough to go back to war in the winter, which wouldn’t be easy.

Although Ermino seemed lackluster usually, that was only due to lack of opportunity.

He believed that given a chance, he wouldn’t lose to his elder brother.

“We need some mineral Resources and other materials, if you can provide those, we’d certainly welcome it.”

Minerals were strategic materials.

They were unimportant in small amounts, but for large quantities, only Viscount Bruce himself could make decisions.

Even other Mira City nobles couldn’t decide on such matters.

“Alright, I’ll take you to see my father, but, I need some benefits.”

“What do you need?” Giving benefits was something Jia Siwei was familiar with, he wasn’t afraid of high demands but rather if there were no demands at all.

“I don’t need Gold Coins either, I need some grain, or some Puppet troops, preferably Black Iron level.

Don’t worry, I can buy them as long as there is a sufficient quantity.”

Jia Siwei’s gaze flickered again, it seemed this one wasn’t so content either, rumors sure can be misleading.

“Of course, if you go to battle in the future, I hope to accompany you.”

Hearing this, Ermino smiled, both had their goals, they could temporarily become allies.
