Chapter 306.1

Especially at the seaports, where hundreds of ships were crammed, waiting to set sail.

At this moment, a Great Xia soldier had just finished inspecting the cargo on a ship.

This ship is full of grain, a total of 90 bags, each bag approximately 50 jin, so in total, there are 4500 jin! Each jin is 16 taels, so 4500 jin is 72,000 taels! According to our Great Xias tariff, one tael of grain for one tael of silver, so you must pay 72,000 taels of silver to pass through customs!

The merchant ship owner directly took out a banknote worth 80,000 taels, generously saying, No need for change! The extra silver is a token of my appreciation for you gentlemen!

The Great Xia soldiers grinned as they accepted the 80,000 taels banknote: The boss really knows how to conduct business, no wonder youve made it so big!

Everyone, you flatter me. Isnt my business booming thanks to your care? the merchant ship owner said, bowing and scraping.

He wasnt actually a merchant at all, but an official sent by the Great Wu Empire to scour for high-yield grain.

The 80,000 taels in tariffs seemed like a lot, but what was it to his country?

What was it to a top-tier Empire?

If they could transport this ships grain back, it would solve their countrys grain problem, and the benefits would be unimaginable.

He would also be promoted and gain nobility, becoming a marquis or others, thanks to this achievement.

Not to mention 80,000 taels of silver, he would be willing to pay even 8 million taels.

To only charge 80,000 taels now is way too cheap!

Thinking of the happy prospects, the merchant ship owner took out several more silver notes, totaling 900,000 taels, and said, Gentlemen officers, these nine ships are also mine! Theyre also transporting food, about 4500 jin each! Please expedite the process, Im in a hurry to get back to business!n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Sure thing! After the Great Xia soldiers finished checking, they let the ships pass.

An excited old minister walked into the imperial palace: Your Majesty, the high-yield grains from Great Wu have been transported back!

The Emperor of Great Wu stood up excitedly: Really? How much did we bring back? Our Great Wu has vast lands and abundant resources, and with a large population, we need a lot of food!

Moreover, everyone shared the same thoughts as the Emperor of Great Wu.

Since Great Xia wasnt prohibiting it, then they might as well import more.

High-yield grains? Tte more, the better!

While everyone was happily transporting food, they all laughed at Lin Beifan as a fool who squandered wealth, not knowing that Lin Beifan was also laughing at them for being idiots.

Because these high-yield grains were all created by him using the Hand of Creation.

Once they left Great Xia, their high-yield traits would get stripped away by the system, making them no different from ordinary grains.

In addition, Lin Beifan played some tricks by using the Empire Sandbox to damage the internal structure of the grains.

As a result, out of ten grains, at most only three could grow rice.

The more they planted, the more they would lose, and eventually, they would suffer reduced yields and income.

Youre all celebrating too early. Wait until this time next year No, just half a year later, and you wont even be able to cry! Lin Beifan chuckled to himself.

Although he wasnt a petty person, the feeling of secretly outsmarting others was really satisfying!

The thought of making a profit from the situation was especially refreshing!

Just one week has passed, and Ive used food worth less than 10,000 taels to earn back 20 million taels of silver. Even capitalists would cry at this! Ill keep working hard, aiming to break through to a billion by the end of the year! Lin Beifan set himself a small goal.
