Chapter 1484 The Reasons of the Nobles 3
From the point of view of the nobles, they definitely hope to be more expensive-the more expensive they are, the more money they can make!Even if it's not for making money, the fuel fee, escort fee, and labor fee for the back and forth trucks are all money, and nobles don't spend money casually.

However, if it is more expensive, it must bear the consequences of being more expensive-can the public afford the coal?If the income of the people is not enough to buy coal to survive the winter, they will take risks, or take the idea of ​​coal from other people's homes, or steal trees - although the nobles stipulate that they are not allowed to cut down those precious woods privately. Firewood, but people are freezing to death, who cares about those regulations?Moreover, it is not a good thing if the price is too expensive for the public to afford - if there is coal left, it will be quite a loss. If it is said that the price is reduced because it cannot be sold, then it is not just the coal that is thrown away. - and the prestige and dignity of nobility.If some people suffer losses due to lack of coal, the reputation of the nobles will be greatly affected when the next spring begins——

"Hey, have you heard that one of the cows of the old man next door froze to death. You can count on him for spring plowing!"

"What is this? I heard that several strong men in the village have become disabled due to frostbite..."

Once rumors like this spread, anyone with a normal IQ will consider moving to other aristocratic territories—if there are some rumors that "the coal price of the aristocrats nearby is [-]% cheaper than here", the whole village will move together. It wasn't impossible in the past.If it weren't for the prohibition of "not getting coal from other nobles to buy coal during the sale of coal", it is estimated that those people would have gone to the neighboring nobles to buy coal.

"The situation is like this..." Huameng felt that she could better understand the situation of the nobles, "If it is cheaper to sell, you will have to bear financial losses, right?"

"Where there is gain, there is loss, and if there is loss, there is gain." The water has been boiled, and Jones has made a new pot of tea: "Selling cheap is also good~"

If it is sold cheaply, it means that the nobles need to bear losses—especially if the sale is cheaper than the original price, the nobles are indeed losing money and making money.

"Take the Till family as an example. As one of the three dams, they really care about people's hearts." Jones said, and filled everyone with tea—after drinking for a while, I felt This tea really tastes good, and after tasting it, it will feel quite connotative.

The Tyre family is a typical aristocrat who sells coal cheaply.They spent a lot of money to buy back the coal and painstakingly escorted it back to the territory. Such a touching thing must not be known only to them—their people must also know it.

The Till family has bards, singers, and orators, and these people are responsible for giving speeches in crowded places-the speeches are about the cost of buying coal, the hardships of transporting coal, and the philanthropy that sells it cheap .They didn't lie to the people, everything they said was the truth, they just used some rhetoric - rhetoric that made the people more likely to be moved.

"If you say that the reputation is good, the Tier family is definitely the best reputation in the country of Baitao; if it weren't for the higher taxes there and the people's less welcoming attitude towards the new neighbors, there would probably be a large number of them. The people immigrated to live there. Speaking of which, the tax increase is designed to limit the talents who immigrated - if there are too many people, the nobles will not be easy to handle."
