All grain merchants fell silent upon hearing this. If the situation continued to develop in this way, the grain business would not be optimistic.

Changing careers may be the general trend.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Soon, a male servant came in and whispered to Xiertu, "Master, the Governor is here."

"What?!" Hiltu and the grain merchants were all shocked. They stood up hurriedly and prepared to go and greet them.

Who is the leader of the White Eagle? Thor, Pompey? No, it's just a knight with outstanding martial arts, Knight Pompey.

Lelouch, Bonaparte? No, that was a consul who was capable but more like an executor, Mr. Mayor.

There are many big figures in the White Eagle Territory, but none of them can compare to one person.

Luther, Pompeii.

This is the person who dominates everything.

Luther and Pompey represented the will of the White Eagle Emblem, led the construction of the entire White Eagle Territory, and even protected the people who lived on them.

It was because they hid under the resounding name of the White Eagle Emblem that they were able to avoid being slaughtered by the New Party.

Merchants were sincerely grateful for the White Eagle emblem and were deeply in awe of it.

"Gentlemen, I heard you were in a meeting. Do you mind if I sit in on the meeting?" When the businessmen were about to go out to greet them, Luther had already walked in with Lelouch.

The butler would not be stupid enough to ask Governor White Eagle to wait outside the door.

Please come in first and I will inform you.

The grain merchants were slightly surprised when they heard this. They knew that the audit was definitely fake. The Governor White Eagle, who was in charge of everything, must have some purpose.

Xiertu smiled and bowed, saying, "Governor, you must be joking. If you are interested in the current food problem in White Eagle Territory, then please be sure to lead this meeting."

"Yes, you have the final say."

Other grain merchants also spoke up.

At this critical moment, they are having a headache and are eager for Luther Pompey to intervene in this matter. Because this governor has a good reputation.

I have never heard of anyone losing money doing business with the Governor.

"Haha, since you all said so, then I won't be polite." Luther laughed and sat in Hiltu's seat. Lelouch sat next to Luther, and the other grain merchants sat down separately.

"Would you like some coffee?" Hiltu asked humbly.

"Give me a glass of water." Luther said, then turned to Lelouch and asked, "Lelouch, what about you?"

"I want a cup of coffee with extra sugar," Lelouch said.

"Okay." Mr. Hiltu nodded and told the maid to go do her work. After a while, Luther's boiled water came up first. Luther took a sip of boiled water, then smiled and said to the merchants: "Regarding the current issue of grain prices, I have only one meaning, no one should buy grain."

Lelouch shrugged, thanked the maid who brought him the coffee, and drank it happily, which made the maid extremely excited.

Mr. Mayor is so gentle.

What does this master intend to do? We intend to purchase grain at 50% of last year's price, and then find a way to digest this batch of grain. This is a helpless move.

Some of us are even planning to change careers.

But this Mr. Dominator is even more vicious.

Let's not buy grain. Is this going to bankrupt all the farmers? No, farmers will never go bankrupt.

Because they have land, even if no one buys their food, they can still have enough to eat and feed their children. There is only one kind of person who will go bankrupt.

Large farmer.

"Mr. Ruler, are you going to eliminate all the large farmers in the White Eagle Territory?" It has to be admitted that the grain merchants are all smart and they guessed Luther's purpose in an instant.

Luther looked at the expressions of these people and knew that they had guessed it.

Luther laughed and said, "You guessed it right. I am very dissatisfied with the current large farmers and the serf system. Just like I treat commoners and nobles equally, I am full of sympathy for the serfs. As human beings, why do they have to live like livestock and be exploited by large farmers? I want to change their fate. With this bumper harvest, I will make the large farmers panic and sell their land and serfs. I will then take the opportunity to abolish the serf system, concentrate the serfs, and let the officials of the city hall help the serfs to become self-reliant and workers."

"Not only the serfs, I have always believed that land business is the lowest level of business. The real profitable business is manufacturing, and maybe the Internet in the future, but you definitely don't understand this. So I want to take advantage of this great harvest to turn many agricultural populations into industrial populations, vigorously develop factories, and develop non-land businesses."

“And the agricultural program I do is more than just that.”

Luther paused here, giving the grain merchants time to digest the information.

The grain traders were all surprised.

They had guessed that Luther's goal was to bankrupt the big farmers, but they had not anticipated that Luther's plan would be so profound.

Forcing large farmers to sell their land and serfs.

And took the opportunity to abolish serfdom.

Reduce the agricultural population and increase the industrial population.

Taking the opportunity to develop the industry in the White Eagle Territory is indeed a great blueprint.

"Just like what the ruler said, the land business is destined to not make money in the future. It seems that most of us will have to change careers. If we don't, we will be eliminated by the world."

Grain merchants felt deeply moved.

At this time, Luther added fuel to the fire.

"My next plan is to further increase the output of farmland, destroy the small peasant economy, and destroy the small peasant mentality. The first step is to change the genes of wheat. Just like the nobles, most of the children born to beautiful people are beautiful. I plan to select the best wheat varieties, hybridize them, and select higher-yielding wheat seeds, so that the wheat yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms, or even more."

"The second step is an upgraded version of the manure fertilization plan. I plan to have the wizards create an inorganic nutrient to provide nutrition to crops. I call it fertilizer."

"I have asked the city hall to set up a special organization to study these two things. They will be able to figure it out the year after next, or maybe next year. You know, wizards are a kind of magical people."

"Under these two methods, the wheat yield per mu may reach 700 to 800 kilograms. You should also be able to realize what that means."
