On the same day that Tonio and the others arrived, in the royal palace of the Hohen Kingdom, Stuffenberg, the twelve-year-old Prince Conradin was handling the affairs of the country in his office.

The king, who was originally a son of old age, is now less energetic than before, so he left part of the government affairs to the only son who is talented and intelligent. He only uses the final veto power to be responsible for the final check.

Fortunately, Conradin has done a good job, and the national income has been rising steadily in the past two years.

Conradin was sitting behind his desk, and on the table were the statistics of the number of caravans traveling in and out of the city recently and the statistics of the number of merchants who stayed in the city recently.

There was a knock on the office door, and Manfred, Conradin's teacher and assistant, entered.

The king of Hohen seems to have a tradition of having children with old age, and the middle-aged Manfred was Conradin's grandfather's illegitimate son in his later years. Although Manfred had no right of inheritance, he was sent to his nephew's side because of his great learning to take on the responsibility of teaching Conradin.

Manfred reported to Conradin: "His Royal Highness, we have begun to purchase the 'Earl McGarden Grain Delivery Coupon' on the north side of the river. The nobles in the north are willing to sell us the delivery coupons in their hands at the current price. At the same time, their requirement is to pay with food, with one hand for food and one hand for delivery vouchers."

Conradin asked without thinking, "Has it been determined that the elves are in a shortage of food due to the destruction of the food warehouse?"

"Yes." Manfred replied, "Our people have confirmed with Queen Victoria that the Elf Royal Court will not export half grains of grain before the next autumn harvest, and Earl McGarden sells the grain coupons for his personal possession. behavior, the Elf Royal Court will not provide him with any help."

Conrad pondered for a while, and then said: "So, from now until the delivery coupons start to be redeemed in February, the McGarden family will not get half of the grain from the elf royal court?"

"Yes." Manfred said, "That's why the nobles in the north agreed to exchange the delivery vouchers for food in advance."

"They think it's better to get the food now than to fight with the McGarden family who can't get the food in February, which will save a little bit of money but also reduce the risk."

So Conradin ordered: "Then transport all the grain we have stored, and make sure to buy as many food coupons as possible from the McGarden family before the end of January."

Back then, all the countries in the North, from kings to petty nobles, were willing to participate in the McGarden family's grain speculation business, and they were interested in the fact that there was a big tree of elves behind Charles.

Since Charles can get food from the elf and return it to everyone, why don't everyone make this money.

As a result, several large granaries of the Elf Royal Court were destroyed in the war a while ago, and the elves themselves had to buy food from outside, and those nobles who bought delivery coupons naturally began to feel nervous.

At this time, Conradin appeared. He was willing to exchange real grain from the south for the delivery coupons with uncertain prospects. How could those nobles in the north miss such a good opportunity to stop losses.

And Manfred said with a bitter look: "His Royal Highness, the McGarden family has exchanged too much food, and even if our inventory is used up, it will not be enough. In addition to the delivery voucher, Earl McGarden and the royal family of the Villingen Kingdom are also Huge amounts of food loan agreements were signed.”

Conradin frowned, and then said with determination: "The purchase of grain will be shipped, and we will all follow the order of the Villingen Royal Family. The more chips we acquire now, the more favorable the negotiations with McGarden will be in the future."

Manfred hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, we will lose a lot of money in this way."

"I can afford to lose that money," Conradin said decisively. "As long as McGarden can give up Miss Diana, this money is not a problem."

Manfred frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, Miss Diana returned to Knowledge City not long ago, but she donated all the gifts you gave to the United Temple Children's Foundation."

Conradin was stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "I will send it again, and then I will send more. After February, I will go to her in person after McGarden, who can't bring out the food, admits defeat."

In the field of picking up girls, Manfred despised this nephew who only gave gifts in his heart. What is the matter if only gifts arrive?

So he said: "His Royal Highness, it will be the New Year soon. As someone who has experienced many battles, I suggest that you suddenly appear in front of Miss Diana during the New Year."

Conradin was stunned for a moment, he knew that this uncle had been a veteran of Huacong since he was young, and he would not be wrong if he listened to him like this.

"Okay then," he said. "You can arrange gifts or something."

Then he added: "Then let's advance the sale of scratch-off lottery tickets to tomorrow. I expect them to be sold out before the new year."

Now Manfred asked nervously: "Your Highness, is it really good to do this? What if someone can see the pattern under the clay?"

Manfred has asked this question many times since Conradin proposed to sell lottery tickets this year. He is a master of magic himself, and he can still use his powerful mental power to detect things at close range.

Although the expected profit of selling lottery tickets is extremely high, and there are many businessmen in the city who are willing to make money, but when I think of someone buying the winning lottery tickets, and finally leaving a lot of "thank you for your patronage" lottery tickets that no one buys, Mann Fred shuddered.

"You can rest assured." Conradin said confidently, "Those lottery tickets are specially made by the Temple of Commerce, and they are blessed with divine power, which can isolate the exploration of spiritual power."

After he finished speaking, he took out a box of lottery tickets made of palm-sized wood chips and placed them in front of Manfred.

Manfred picked up the wood chips on the table. The wood chips were printed with exquisite patterns, and the square in the middle was coated with a layer of black grease.

He first used his mental power to invade the piece of wood, but no matter how he output, a layer of divine power isolated his mental power from the outside.

He then folded the piece of wood again, although the piece of wood was thinner than parchment, but under the blessing of divine power, the piece of wood became extremely hard ~lightnovelpub.net~ difficult to break.

Then he took out a few lottery tickets and turned them to the back, and saw that there were fine and irregular patterns printed on the back of the lottery tickets, eliminating the possibility of using different unwinning lottery tickets to deduct the patterns to form a winning lottery ticket.

Manfred was relieved to see that Conradin was well prepared.

But after a while, he asked worriedly: "It can block the exploration of spiritual power, but can it block the exploration of divine power?"

Conradin replied: "I have asked the cardinals of the Temple of Commerce, the believers of God will not use their divine power to obtain money through opportunism, if anyone does, he will be punished by God. ."

Manfred nodded and said, "That's right, the divine power of ordinary believers is not enough to penetrate obstacles and avoid obstacles. I trust those high-strength priests, and their integrity is trustworthy."

"That's what the cardinal said, too," Conradin said.

However, whether it is Conradin or Manfred, or even the priests of the Temple of Commerce, they do not know that there is such a god, and since the gods, they have no integrity.
