Chapter 287 Economic Tactics
Of course, Harding also came to help. It was responsible for searching farther places. It also left marks on the target's body first, and then brought Ah Huang back at night, and it came forward to wake them up and take them across the river.

As long as they reach Corfu City in Dak, everything will be much easier. The magicians of Rebjanik will quickly pass through the teleportation array to reach the capital of Rock City, and the General Guild will settle them down properly.

The Kingdom of Rebjanik wanted to intercept the fleeing magicians, but few of them were successfully caught. Instead, the merchant class was very dissatisfied. The city of Raja was full of angry and restless merchants. After losing money and goods, They didn't even have the travel expenses to go home, and some of them were on the verge of bankruptcy.

And the chaotic scene in Raja City also made the merchants in Cove City in Keke not dare to cross the river, fearing that they would be blocked when they returned.

Two cities that have been doing business with each other for many years, the commercial exchanges have come to a sudden standstill. The merchants over there can’t get out, and the merchants here are afraid to go. Many raw materials that are already necessities for the other country are suddenly lost. There is a shortage.

At this time, the big profiteer Pollock came back from the mountain, personally led a group of profiteers, drank the camouflage potion to change his appearance, swaggered to do business in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Rebjanik, and collected information from their country. Master, point them to Raja City, and as long as the magician walks on the only way to Raja City, he will definitely encounter the three monsters, and then he will be safe.

The big profiteer led a group of small profiteers to purchase materials at several important raw material producing areas in Rebjanik, and Bai Tongtong bought them in large quantities. She took as much as she had, and then quickly sold them through the guild store for payment. Rebjanik's gold coins are exchanged directly from Corfu City in Ke. In order to do business, this city has always had a certain reserve of Lei Guo gold coins, which is enough to support Bai Tongtong's needs for a while.

In addition to the gold coins reserved by Ke's Cove, Mazio also has many border cities that directly do business with the Kingdom of Rebjanik. This country reserves more gold coins from the Kingdom of Lei than Ke's Cove City. Bai Tongtong is not worried about gold coins at all. Not enough to redeem.

This kind of thing happened in the Kingdom of Rebjanik before the new year, which surprised the Gulisi people. In order not to leak the news, the general guild secretly transferred the escaped colleagues from Lei Kingdom to other places under the guild name , stay away from the eyes of the church, and let the colleagues suffering from mental torture have a good rest.

Thanks to the joint action of Bai Tongtong and the profiteers, the shortage of raw materials in Gulisi's country has improved a lot, while the situation in Rebjanik's country has become even worse. The situation, the goods cannot cross the river, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be for Rebjanik. Think about the rising prices in the country due to the shortage of raw materials.

Four or five profiteers under Farrell went to the production area of ​​the best sugar crops in Rebjanik. In the towns where several sugar mills gathered together, they scattered gold coins in large quantities, and bought all the cash. The new year is approaching, and it is the peak season for sugar sales. The factory owners don't think too much, and do business as soon as they have business.

And none of this huge amount of white sugar entered the market in Rebjanik, all of it was sent to Bai Tongtong, and sold to the whole country through the guild store, which directly pulled down the price of white sugar in the country, making it the same as salt Everyone can afford cheap sugar, even the northernmost Tamir Principality, where the price of sugar is so cheap that the common people are surprised.

This behavior directly led to the first shortage of white sugar in the Rebjanik Kingdom, which has never been short of white sugar. The large wholesalers first found it difficult to purchase goods, and the spot goods in their hands were continuously sold every day. There is only going out but not going in. It won't be long before the common people know that there is a problem with the supply of sugar, which will cause panic buying.

The Church of Rybjanik, who is busy fighting for power and profit, has not noticed any abnormalities in the market. The white sugar that the clergy eat daily in various churches and other institutions is delivered by boxes at regular intervals by fixed suppliers. The average family buys another pack after using up a pack, and the high-ranking church doesn't bother to pay attention to such trivial matters.

In addition to buying white sugar to destroy the domestic market in Rybjanik, small profiteers also bought from grain merchants who stocked up on a large amount of grain in the main grain-producing areas.The final destination of the food was also in Bai Tongtong's hands, and it was stored as a strategic material.

Bai Tongtong, who was counting money every day and getting cramps in her hands, decided to do a good deed. She personally went to the city of Cove to buy their goods from the stranded merchants. If you go home to spend the New Year with your family, as long as you are willing to pay, you can let Wuyingmao send them along the border of Mazio.

The Lei Guo businessman who was eager to go home didn't think much about it at all, and spent money one after another, just hoping to go home as soon as possible.

Bai Tongtong recalled Ah Huang and sent the merchants to several border cities in Mazio in the middle of the night, waiting for dawn to open the city gates before they could set foot on the land of their own country.

But the next day, Bai Tongtong went to Camp City, the largest border city between Mazio and Rybjanik, and sold the various bulk goods she bought yesterday, so that the merchants of Mazio could sell them to Go to Rebjanik to relieve their tight domestic market demand, otherwise if a smart person reacts, the money will not be easy to earn.

After finishing this big business, Bai Tongtong stopped doing it for the time being. The New Year is only a few days away. As the Earl and the branch president of the Wizards Guild, she has to attend some social activities.

The big profiteer also waited for the subordinates who had dispersed in the joint cities one after another, and they were secretly brought back to China by Wuyingmao, and they went home to celebrate the New Year.

The theater troupes invited from the two territories occupied the open space outside the town, and the huge colorful tents were next to each other. The greatest joy of the townspeople every day was going to different theater troupes to watch performances. This was something they hadn’t done for many years. For entertainment, in order to win the title of the most popular theater troupe, the troupes who think they have a little strength all come up with their best programs and compete for the top three.

Bai Tongtong frequently appeared on various social occasions. Apart from the few occasions that must be attended in the aristocratic and magical circles, she also had to take care of her commoner friends. She even stayed in Fort Chemington for two days. Living in Seiya's house, I brought gifts to the whole family that were not available in the country.

The past two days in Fort Chamington have not been easy. Ai Ni knows that Bai Tongtong is in the city, and the three meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner have been arranged with business partners. The couple warmly welcomed her arrival.

After the entertainment at Fort Chamington, Bai Tongtong also went to the Principality of Tamir and spent a day with the Grand Duke, his wife and the nobles. He returned early the next morning and went to the territory of the Marquis of Aronson to visit his nephew Te De, after having lunch with their family, rushed to the capital again, went to a dinner party at Principal Hart's house, and returned to Fabao Town at almost midnight, exhausted on the bed.

Waking up at dawn, after breakfast, Bai Tongtong sat on the black-leaf vine reclining chair on the terrace, basking in the sun, enjoying the leisurely New Year holiday. The interns, Irene, mother and daughter were all on vacation to enjoy the holiday, and the guild was deserted. Come on, it's the same as last year's New Year's holiday, but the difference is that the town and the village are much more lively, and the servants and maids also take turns to go to the town on vacation, but Bai Tongtong really doesn't have the energy to join in the fun.

Harding suddenly fell from the sky, and placed two boxes of freshly baked high-end cakes on the tea table on the terrace. The packaging boxes were printed with the logo of a restaurant in a high-end hotel in Wangdu, which is famous for all kinds of delicious cakes.

Bai Tongtong accepted the cake, and Harding wagged his tail and abducted Ah Huang, Wu Wu and Xiao Er.

Bai Tongtong used the walkie-talkie to call the maid on duty, and she only cut a small piece of cake for herself to taste, and let the maid take the rest to share with everyone.

After lunch break, Bai Tongtong felt that something was wrong with her body. Her neck and arms were itchy, and the more she scratched, the more itchy, and her skin became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, she felt hot all over her body. Like a sourdough bun.

Realizing that she might have a food allergy, she hadn't eaten any strange food today except for the cake Harding brought.

Bai Tongtong, who had never experienced food allergies, calmed herself down, sat down at the desk and wrote to Farrell, telling him the symptoms she had.

Farrell was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat in the warm living room. He almost thought that the chef of the restaurant deliberately framed him to put medicine in the cake. He took a few deep breaths to calm down, and wrote back to ask her about her current situation and asked her to hurry up. When he came to his house, he first took a look at the situation. It was not easy to find a doctor in the capital city during the New Year. The president and his wife were both on vacation.If Bai Tongtong's symptoms became more and more serious, he might have to ask the imperial physician for help.

Bai Tongtong rushed downstairs to check the situation of the other servants. Those who had eaten the cake were all normal, only she was allergic, and also frightened the servants, so they hurriedly waited for her to change and go out.

She wore a large cloak over the thick woolen skirt, and the hood completely covered her face. When she came out of the teleportation array of the Magicians Guild in the capital, she rushed out in a hurry, and ran away on the spot when she reached the door. Appear at the gate of Worth Secondary School, the most famous landmark in the Worth community.

Farrell had already rushed to the vicinity of the school, covered with the wind concealment technique. When he saw the yellow light of the earth magic, he teleported there immediately. Bai Tongtong had just appeared from the magic, and his wind concealment technique was covered. In the eyes of passers-by, a powerful magician suddenly appeared on the street, appeared in the blink of an eye, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, so fast that they couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Under the cover of the wind concealment technique, Farrell flew home directly with Bai Tongtong. The servants were waiting to take care of her in the living room. After taking off her cloak, the maids couldn't help covering her up mouthed.

Bai Tongtong raised his arm, made an ice mirror, and broke the mirror with just one glance.

If her face was just a steamed bun before departure, now it has turned into a pig's head, still red and cooked, Bai Tongtong thinks it will be more vivid if there is some white smoke from her head.

In the living room there was a long couch that Farrell used to take a nap. In winter, this couch was placed in front of the fireplace. The servants supported Bai Tongtong to lie down on the couch, gave her some warm water, and covered her with a blanket for a good rest. Farrell went to get medical tools, and recorded all Bai Tongtong's feelings in detail. Her symptoms seemed serious, and he couldn't handle them. He learned alchemy, not medicine.

Lying in a thick woolen skirt and covered with a blanket in front of the fireplace, Bai Tongtong felt irritable and hot all over her body, feeling like a roast pig in an oven again, the water she drank turned into sweat, and it was uncomfortable to toss and turn .

Farrell had no choice but to ask the maid to help Bai Tongtong take off the damn skirt, and then covered her with a flying blanket. The soft blanket seemed weightless, and Bai Tongtong rolled the blanket around her body, and then she became quiet.

After such a toss, Farrell found that Bai Tongtong seemed to have started to have a fever. When talking to her again, his voice was also hoarse, and he was not as energetic as he was a few minutes ago, and he seemed to be sluggish all of a sudden.

Farrell didn't dare to delay any longer, tucked the blanket for Bai Tongtong, watched her fall into a drowsy sleep, and ordered the servants to leave the living room so as not to disturb her rest, while he changed his clothes and went out to call for the royal doctor to see a doctor.

Not long after Farrell left, another female guest came to the house. This was an appointment to have dinner at Farrell's house tonight.And he is single, the servants in the family are not only the butler, but also the housekeeper who is a part-time cook, and there is also a low-level maid who does rough work. Originally, Bai Tongtong was supposed to be guarded outside the living room, so he had no choice but to entertain guests temporarily. , You can't let the other party sit in the living room boringly and wait.

Bai Tongtong has been sleeping peacefully. The housekeeper visited her a few times to add more firewood to the fireplace, thinking that she might have to sleep for a while, so she was busy with housework first, and wanted to cook some light soup for the patient, and I don't know if the dinner for two will still be held tonight.

The guest sitting in the living room felt a bit bored. She found that the servants seemed to be extremely busy. It seemed that there was another guest upstairs. She was curious for a while, and while the housekeeper was away temporarily, she slipped up to the second floor and tried to screw it along the corridor. Doorknobs on every door, but most of the rooms were locked until I opened the living room, went in, and saw the big bag of humanoid blankets on the couch in front of the fireplace.

The blanket covered the face, only a head of beautiful black hair was scattered along the side of the couch, judging from the length of the hair, it was obviously a woman.

The young girl hadn't thought much of the sight of a woman sleeping in Farrell's house, but when she recognized the pattern of the blanket, she couldn't help feeling a faint jealousy in her heart.

During the New Year's Day, she saw Farrell use this beautiful blanket at Master Baldrick's old house. My niece didn't even want to touch the corner of the blanket, but she didn't expect to see this blanket covering a strange woman's body today, and she didn't use it well, making the blanket crumpled like an egg roll.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't stand the jealous girl, she quietly stretched out her hand to pull back the blanket to take a look, what kind of woman could make the handsome and romantic Farrell treat her so differently.
