Chapter 837 Food Expenditures in Ivas City

The exchange actually uses territorial inventory and territorial funds. For example, the current basic operating capital of Ajaccio City is 1000 gold, and the book funds that Yun Xiaohan can mobilize are the surplus funds exceeding 1000 gold.Once the territory fund is lower than 1000 gold, he can only invest money in it, but cannot withdraw money.

Players usually buy and sell goods when they go to the sea trade. The products in the territory are bought by the players and sold to other cities. The products sold by the players to the exchange will be bought by the NPCs in the territory. They enter and exit the exchange. to continue to operate.If the funds in the territory are insufficient, the exchange will not be able to purchase various materials and will be shut down. Yun Xiaohan can only make up for the gap with his own money so that the exchange can continue to operate.

Take food as an example. If the exchange cannot buy food, the price of food purchased by the exchange will automatically increase as time goes by. People in the territory will be hungry if they cannot afford food, and then the popularity and happiness index will decrease. It will decrease, and when it reaches a certain level, it will leave the original territory and migrate to other territories.

It would be even worse if there was no money on the books of the territory and the exchange stopped operating. If there were no supplies, the people would be very angry. At that time, they would not only leave the territory, but would directly riot, destroy the buildings in the territory, and even To expel the lord.

The food traded by the player also has to earn the difference. The food price is definitely not as low as when Balgruf imported it at a low price before. However, the player transports the food by sea, which is much more convenient than land transportation, and the shipping cost is naturally much lower, so It is definitely more cost-effective for players to sell food than Yun Xiaohan is looking for Balgruf to buy food now.

The third way is to purchase grain from the Duke of Sardinia. Yun Xiaohan is Liya's vassal, and the city of Ivas can be considered to have joined the Dukedom of Sardinia system. Yun Xiaohan can ask Liya to import grain.

Yun Xiaohan used the mysterious sapphire to ask Liya, and Liya's answer disappointed him a little.

This is not because Liya is unwilling to send food to Ivas City at a low price, but because Sardinia does not have much surplus food for sale.

Although the grain output of Sardinia is not particularly high, it is considered to be at the upper-middle level, and there is still a lot of cultivated land.However, Sardinia has not experienced any wars for decades. Under the governance of the old Duke of Sardinia, the population of Sardinia has increased significantly over the years. This is a good thing, but the food supply seems to be a little tight.

On the contrary, the land and climate of Xili Island are the most suitable for farming, and the grain output is very high, but unfortunately it is too chaotic, and the residents on the island cannot engage in food production with peace of mind, and the actual grain output is far below the normal level.Xili Island is not under Liya's control, so the food in Xili Island cannot be expected.

However, Liya is still willing to squeeze out some food to supply Ivas City.

However, in order to appease the hearts of the people, Liya gave the lords of Sardinia a lot of benefits, such as tax reduction within half a year or a year.In addition, she still needs to further develop her territory and expand her armaments. For example, the Sea Lion Legion that is being expanded and the elite legion that will soon be built with mica equipment need a lot of money, so Liya's money is also very tight. It can be seen from the mica purchase fee that she proposed to owe Yun Xiaohan.

Under such circumstances, even if Liya is willing to squeeze out some food to supply Ivas City, it is impossible to follow the example of Balgruf before Ivas City changed hands and supply it at a low price.

However, although the selling price of grain is slightly higher, because sea transportation is cheaper than land transportation, the actual cost of food transportation is only higher than that of Balgruf's supply of food, which is relatively affordable.And compared with players transporting grain to sell, the selling price of the grain supplied by Liya is also lower.

Therefore, among the three ways, it is undoubtedly the most economical to find Liya to supply food.

It's a pity that the food that Liya can supply is a little less. Even if it is only to meet the needs of the original population of Ivas City, it is slightly insufficient. The migratory population will consume a lot of food, and the gap is very large.

Therefore, Yun Xiaohan can only use a two-pronged approach, not only buying food from Liya, but also letting the players in the territory sell food to Ivas City.

The mobilization of this player is very simple. Because the city of Ivas cannot cultivate and raise livestock, the base price of agricultural products and meat (excluding fish) is already high. In addition, the price will rise further due to the shortage of goods. For Corsica For players in the Viscount Land, buying food from other regions and selling it to Ivas City is a very profitable thing in itself.

Players in the Viscounty of Corsica can buy grain from the cities of Ajaccio and Bastia, or from Sardinia, or from the Snowman region.

However, Ajaccio, Bastia, and Sardinia don't have much surplus grain, so the purchase price of grain will be relatively high, and as players continue to buy, the price of grain will become higher and higher. The price will soar more and more in the future. (If you buy too much food and the reserves drop too much, the supply will be tight in places where there is no shortage of food, and the exchange will automatically stop selling the scarce materials)

Players still go to the Xueman area to buy grain and sell it in Ivas City to make the most money. However, there are only a few port cities in the Xueman area, and the cultivated land in the coastal area is often less, so players in the Viscount of Corsica want to buy food at low prices. For the food, you still have to go to the Xueman area to go to land towns to buy grain after arriving at the port, and then use a horse-drawn cart to pull the grain back to the port, but this will greatly increase the transportation cost and time spent, so players still need to make their own decisions And calculate the costs and benefits.

If the two-pronged approach still fails to ensure sufficient food supply, Yun Xiaohan is also mentally prepared to buy Balgruf's black-hearted food, but that would cost a lot of money, so it's better not to buy it if you can.

If you don't buy black-hearted food at all, the expenditure will be reduced a lot, especially the 40 gold spent by immigrants is the most affected.After all, the residents of Ivas City still have to spend money to buy food. Yun Xiaohan just stabilized the price of food so that they can afford it, so the expenses of entry and exit are acceptable, but the food of immigrants is provided free of charge before they go to work Yes, so even if the number of immigrants per day is only 2000, the money spent is much more than that of a population with a territory of over [-].

Yun Xiaohan roughly calculated that if the two-pronged approach can meet the supply, his daily expenditure will drop from 63 gold to about 45 gold, a drop of more than 1/4.

In addition, there is another piece of good news. In order to make up for the loss of Balgruf’s low-cost supply of food, the ore originally produced in Ivas City was sold to Balgruf at a low price, but now Yun Xiaohan is the city lord. , there is no need to sell mines at a low price.Players and NPCs can buy mines from Ivas City and sell them to other places, so there should be some income, but this income will definitely not be able to keep up with the food expenditure.
