Chapter 1203 (2/2)
One of the dying farmers raised his head and cried with a little cry: ”Baron! Are you trying to push us into a dead end? In the first quarter of this year, the harvest itself was small, but you bought it all! We have no food to eat and no way to live! ”
Sir Jason raised his head and glanced at the village and farmland not far away.
Indeed, this summer's harvest is indeed a little short, perhaps because there is less rain in the first half of this year, so the situation is a little bad.
But
What does this have to do with Sir Jason?
”What are you talking about? What do you mean I took all the grain? ”
Sir Jason kept that grace on his face, said with a smile——
”Did I steal it from you? Or did you cheat you into giving me all your food? You know, I signed a contract with you and bought it solemnly from you. If you don't sell it, can I force it to sell? I'm not a robber! By comparison... What are you doing now? Do you want to be robbers? ”
For Sir Jason, these farmers' brains are really not very good. Now that the contract has been signed, it should be well performed. What's the difference between selling grain and showing off in front of your residence with these farm tools?
Another peasant representative shouted again and said, ”Baron! So what's the matter with those clothes? Why do so many clothes suddenly enter our town? We have been making a little money by weaving and making clothes over the years, but so many cheap clothes have poured in this year, and there is no place to sell our clothes! Several nearby towns can't be sold! What's going on?! ”
Sir Jason coughed, his face sad, and said, ”clothes? Oh, you mean the clothes flowing from the marginal province? Is the problem really that serious? ”
The farmers looked at the Jazz's face and showed some concern for them. They immediately looked happy one by one and shouted, ”serious! It's really serious! ”
The leading farmer shouted, ”it's very serious, Baron! Those clothes destroyed all our textile families in one breath! No matter how low we sell, we can't lower the price of these clothes! Also, many things in our town have been bought, and our money is gone! We have no work, no food, and our own clothes are piled up in the warehouse! Baron! You have to decide for us!!! ”
Baron Jason's mouth twitched slightly.
However, this is not because of the tragedy of these farmers in front of us. What's more, I'm a little surprised that these scattered farmers can now gather together and block in front of their own doors.
Who is the leader in the middle?
HMM... I can see that the one who speaks should be the leader. When he started talking, the farmers next to him stopped talking. Obviously, this guy was doing something.
In response, sir Jason coughed slightly and continued with his compassionate expression: ”really? Ah, that's really terrible... Don't worry! I will certainly help you. I will help you to be fair, so that you can better tide over the current difficulties! ”
Seeing that the Baron now expressed such an impassioned attitude of being willing to fight difficulties with these farmers, the farmers' expressions finally softened and showed the color of expectation one by one.
It's just a conversation——
”But... I didn't expect the situation to be so serious... I thought it was just me that the situation was bad. I didn't expect the situation on your side to be so bad? ”
Such a speech obviously surprised all these farmers! They looked at the embarrassed aristocrat with his mouth open. Even the leading farmer who just spoke is now keeping his mouth open and silent.
Jason continued: ”well, recently, a large investment has come from the marginal Province, which can be said to swallow most of my money at once! Well... Carefully calculate, I should have lost at least more than 1000 gold coins in this investment. ”
For ordinary farmers, a thousand gold coins is an astronomical number. Hearing that so much money had disappeared, the farmers were even more frightened.
Baron Jason pinched his chin, frowned, thought for a moment and then continued: ”later, I thought carefully and thought that there should be a problem in this. The key to the problem may come from the origin of these clothes. That is, Pelican City, a newly emerging city in the marginal province. ”
Hearing the aristocrat say so, the farmers began to get nervous. The leader asked at this time, ”Baron! Pelican city? Why is our current dilemma related to Pelican city? ”
Baron Jason breathed out and continued, ”what do you think is the reason why your food has been bought recently and your clothes are piled up and can't be sold? I tell you now, because those clothes come from Pelican city! ”
”Some people in Pelican city use some terrible and strange technology to produce a large number of clothes almost out of thin air. It's almost like no money at all! ”
”Since those clothes don't cost money, of course, you can't beat them no matter how low the price is. Then, the people in Pelican City sell these clothes to us in large quantities. After making money, they will buy you... All our food! In this way, it will naturally lead to the current situation. ”
