When Ma Wei and Archbishop Brandon came to the small town of Beckensfield, many people had gathered outside the town.
Judging from the attire, most of them are businessmen, and there are even a few aristocrats who look familiar. The small town of Beaconsfield, located outside London, has not been this lively for a long time. The mayor put on his most expensive clothes early in the morning. Wearing clothes, he stood at the entrance of the town with his head held high, waiting for the arrival of Ma Wei and others.
"Lord Lord! Lord Lord!"
Seeing Ma Wei and others getting off the train, the mayor immediately gathered around with Father Fran and other residents of the town, and asked expectantly: "Lord, the borg grass is mature, when will we start harvesting? "
In the farmland outside the town, the green borggrass sways with the breeze. It looks like a weed, but it is not. The biggest difference between borggrass and weeds is the rhizome. The rhizome of borggrass has a black fleshy ball. , the slurry inside has a certain detoxification effect, and the effect is better when combined with bezoar.
Borggrass is not a rare extraordinary herb. If no one manages it, one Borggrass can reproduce hundreds of thousands of similar plants within half a year. If you plant one plant at the beginning of the year, you will be able to harvest a whole mountain by the end of the year.
Although borg grass is very cheap, the church has a great demand for it. In addition to making antidotes, the fiber extracted from borg grass can be used to make ropes for catching extraordinary creatures. As long as it is soaked in tung oil, it will become It is extremely tough, and some ropes made of high-aged borg grass are even stronger than iron chains.
"Archbishop Brandon, it's up to you to pick the first borg grass."
Ma Wei invited: "This may not be the first time in human history that Borggrass has been planted, but it is the result of our large-scale planting in this era. It is of great significance. Such an honor should be started by someone with prestige."
"good."
Archbishop Brandon is not a hypocritical person. He came to the small town of Beckensfield today just to show off, because next, Ma Wei will announce the purchase price of Borg grass on the spot, which may cause a lot of trouble. The noise.
With him here, at least the stability of the scene can be guaranteed.
As Archbishop Brandon uprooted a borggrass plant, excited residents rushed into the field wearing cloth gloves. The edges of the borggrass leaves had a row of jagged protrusions that would cause scratches if not careful. Fingers, at the same time, the oxalic acid contains paralyzing toxins, which will cause people to bleed. It is not fatal, but no one wants to be injured.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, baskets of harvested borgweed were delivered to the edge of the field. Staff from the Manstein Potion Company weighed them publicly. After each weighing, the empty baskets were weighed again and the weight was subtracted. , strive for accuracy.
The sun was heading west, and the harvest of borggrass was not completed until the evening. This was the result of the concerted efforts of the residents. If it were a busy farming season, it would take at least two or three days to harvest the crops.
"Mr. Nicholas, after weighing, a total of about 350,000 pounds of borggrass was harvested. Here are the details!"
The staff of the Manstein Potion Company handed the completed form to Mawei. There were hundreds of acres of farmland around Beckensfield. Borggrass was very productive. If the yield was 1,000 pounds per acre, there would be at least dozens of them. Ten thousand pounds.
After reading the statistical table, it was time to announce the purchase price. The businessmen and nobles who were watching couldn't help but get closer, for fear of missing something.
"The town of Beckensfield has harvested a total of 350,000 pounds of burgundy. According to the market price, the price of 1 pound of burgundy is 1 penny."
On the ridge of the field, Ma Wei loudly shouted to the surroundings: "According to the "Magic Potion Subsidy Act" promulgated by the Kingdom, the purchase price offered by the Manstein Potion Company is 2 pence/pound!"
Wow——
The surrounding area suddenly became lively, and both the merchants and the nobles showed shocked expressions.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't shocked.
Even if there are subsidies from the bill, no one has directly doubled the purchase price!
350,000 pounds of borggrass, 2 pence per pound, total price 700,000 pence, about 116,000 shillings, converted into gold pounds
A full 5,800 gold pounds!
What is this concept?
A small town with a population of only a few thousand earned 5,800 gold pounds in just one week!
Everyone can get 1 gold pound or more!
You know, a weekly salary of 1 gold pound in London is a proper white-collar level!
Enough to feed a large family!
Such a terrible profit rate instantly made many people jealous, and some even shouted: "Unfair! Who doesn't know that the town of Beaconsfield is your brother's territory? You deliberately gave them a high price!"
In the face of doubts, Mawei said calmly: "Manstein Potion Company does not intentionally set high prices. The town of Beaconsfield is indeed the territory of my brother Felix, but I will not favor them because of this." , this price is indeed carefully calculated and well thought out.”
"Besides, even if I want to favor them, I shouldn't do it blatantly in front of so many people. Wouldn't it be better to favor them in private?"
The onlookers looked at each other in confusion: "So, the price paid by Manstein's Potion Company to purchase Bergweed is indeed 2 pence per pound?"
"Yes, that's right."
Mawei said: "But I want to remind you that the small town of Beckensfield was able to grow mature Borggrass within a week because they used a proliferating potion. Taking into account the cost of the proliferating potion, it was only less than 1 penny/pound is a little extra, and planting magic potions in a field too frequently in a short period of time will also cause a reduction in magic potion production. It’s up to you to think about what to do.”
Most people only heard Ma Wei say that the purchase price of borggrass was 2 pence/pound, and completely ignored the advice in the second half.
With the terrible yield of borggrass, 2p/pound is nothing short of a money grab!
That's the bonus!
This is the outlet!
Not only the surrounding businessmen and nobles, but also the mayor and residents were shocked when they heard the price given by Mawei. After the shock, they burst into tears with excitement and almost fell to the ground to greet the lord like in the Middle Ages.
For many people, this is indeed an opportunity to change their destiny, but this opportunity will not last long. At the beginning, the market is not stable yet, and there are many opportunities. After big capital enters the market and uses capital to monopolize the market, the opportunities will become the same as those of ordinary people. People don't matter anymore.
The trend can only allow you to make quick money. Whether you can take advantage of the trend and take off depends on your personal ability.
But for the residents of the small town of Beckensfield, 2 pence/pound of borggrass is enough to improve their lives. This means that they no longer have to do tailoring to support their families, and can just grow magic potions. Feed yourself
Many businessmen and nobles took the train and left the small town of Beckensfield. They were going back to prepare. The next step for the Manstein Potion Company has been made clear. The next step is when the competition begins. Whoever enters the market first will make money. Too much, and you may lose thousands or even tens of thousands of gold pounds just one minute late.
"Look at how excited they are."
Looking at the businessmen and nobles who couldn't wait to get on the train, Levin smiled disdainfully and said: "As soon as the cultivation of magic medicine became popular, brother, your reputation has completely spread. As long as you are bound to the businessmen and elites of South London, they will How could I not vote for you?"
Ma Wei smiled and said: "This is something the Conservative Party will never be able to do. We have won the emerging market of potions and have control over part of London's economy. Compared with the so-called old aristocrats, We are the largest emerging capital, New Money."
Different identities mean different ways of doing things. If Ma Wei comes directly to London to promote the truth, there is a high probability that he will be regarded as a madman by the people. As an old capitalist power, if you want to take over the Kingdom of Windsor, you must not use ordinary means. You can only become capital. Only then can one enter London's upper class and have the opportunity to do the near-impossible.
"Mr. Nicholas! Lord!"
While Ma Wei and Levin were talking, the mayor quietly came up and whispered: "In addition to Borg grass, can we grow other extraordinary herbs."
"What, you still want to make more money?" Levin frowned.
The mayor lowered his head in embarrassment, rubbed his hands and said, "Look at what you said, Lord, of course we want to make money. You led us to become rich. We will definitely not forget you!"
"Borg grass is a harmless and extraordinary herb. It is the least difficult to plant. It is rarely affected by external factors such as weather. The benefits are also very good. It is currently the most suitable crop for the town."
Ma Wei said expressionlessly: "It's not that there are no more expensive seeds, nor is there no more expensive extraordinary herbs, it's just that you can't control them yet, and the benefits are often accompanied by risks. Being able to grow Borg grass doesn't mean that You can grow other extraordinary herbs, and planting borggrass can already bring wealth to the town. Until you find a reasonable way to grow herbs, I recommend that you only grow borggrass."
"Hey, hey, we all listen to you."
The mayor did not dare to disobey Ma Wei and nodded repeatedly. No one knew whether he heard it or not. But as the saying goes, it is hard to persuade the devil with good words. Ma Wei has said everything that needs to be said and done everything that needs to be done. The future of the town of Beckensfield is closely related to the mayor.
At night, after settling the payment, the Maveys and Archbishop Brandon had dinner in the town. A grand banquet was held in the town to celebrate the harvest. It was not until 9 o'clock that the Maveys took the last train back. London.
After leaving King's Cross Station, Mavey did not say goodbye to Archbishop Brandon immediately. Instead, he and Archbishop Brandon went to St. Paul's Cathedral to finalize the issues of guarding and selecting extraordinary items.
Mavey is of great significance to the church. Archbishop Brandon has mentioned more than once that he would give Mavey enhanced protection. At first, he was rejected by Mavey. Now that he knows that Mr. Butler may assassinate him at any time, he can no longer remain indifferent.
The Demon Hunter headquarters is not far from St. Paul's Cathedral. Mavey and the others followed Archbishop Brandon to the Demon Hunter headquarters first, and arranged three of the most elite teams of Demon Hunters to protect themselves. Then they went to St. Paul's Cathedral. church, and Pope Ubli I explained the situation.
The treasure house of the General Church is the most important place, just like the place where the Church of Truth keeps the Crystal Skull. These extraordinary items have powerful power, and the slightest mistake may lead to irreparable consequences.
As an archbishop, Brandon can enter and exit the treasure house at will, but if he wants to bring others in, he must obtain the consent of Pope Umbry I. Seeing that it was Ma Wei and others who wanted to enter the treasure house, Pope Ubry I did not stop him and took the The exit token was given to Archbishop Brandon.
The treasure house is located on the first floor of St. Paul's Cathedral and is connected to the first floor below. It is a giant safe made of fine steel. It is said that the most elite architects and locksmiths in the city were hired during the construction, and countless mechanisms were installed. With the mechanical lock structure, if you want to open it, you can only use a specific method.
"Since the arrival of the goddesses, the church has once again transformed and upgraded the treasure house, repaired and maintained the original magic array, and added several types of magic to the original ones."
Ma Wei and others came to a black iron gate. Archbishop Brandon inserted the token of Pope Umbry I into the keyhole. While turning, the machine made a roaring sound, and the gears meshed one after another, each layer thick and thick. The iron bolts were separated and the ground was shaking. At the same time, the defensive magic formations were quickly dispelled.
"The last time the treasure house was stolen, it was because the demons from the Four Supreme Pillars destroyed the magic array. They had the contracted holy sword of the ancient god Belial. It was easy to destroy these magic arrays. But now it's better. We have strengthened our defense again. One hundred With multiple layers of magic array activated at the same time, even if the ancient god Belial comes in person, he can withstand it for two seconds."
"Two seconds?"
Levin was stunned for a moment. He thought Archbishop Brandon was going to brag about something, but it turned out
Just two seconds?
"Two seconds is not bad." Archbishop Brandon said calmly: "I don't need to explain to you what the ancient god Belial is. If he comes in person, let alone a hundred layers of magic array, even if it is If the three goddesses attack at the same time, I'm afraid they are no match for him."
"There is no need for me to brag to you. Just say whatever you have to say. In short, if you bump into the ancient god Belial in the future, remember, if you can run, run. If you can't, just pray. Pray that he will be generous. Let you die quickly."
"Is it so scary?" Levin recalled the scene when the ancient god Belial projected his mind in London: "I don't think he is as evil as I thought."
"How can he be so evil when he is still sealed?" Archbishop Brandon said angrily: "Although I have never seen the ancient god Belial, the teachings of the Church of Destiny clearly stated that the ancient god Belial is A big demon with nine heads and seventy-two arms. His body is covered with eyes. Each eye represents a kind of ability. It is impossible to kill him. Even Ashis, who is an ancient god, can only kill him. Sealed Him!”
"Let's not talk about this. There are still many demons on the Demon Gate that have not yet arrived. This means that the ancient god Belial will not be able to break free of the seal in the short term. Let's think about the things in front of us first."
With that said, Archbishop Brandon pushed open the iron door in front of him:
"This is one of the core areas of the Church of Destiny. Be silent and don't disturb the sleeping beings."
