"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh!"
The three Nubian trade officials bowed to Linke to show their respect to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
However, in addition to respect for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, their expressions seemed to have a hint of joy.
"On our way to Cairo, we heard a lot of good things about Saint Pharaoh."
"The people of Maya are praising your greatness."
The taller man spoke, and then the shorter trade officer continued.
“Not only that, this time when we came to Cairo, we found that the scenery here is quite different!”
"It seems like all the buildings in the city have changed!"
The three of them praised each other one by one, and their words and mouths were full of praise for Lin Ke and Saint Egypt.
Of course, this is also because everything Lin Ke is doing now is incomprehensible to any civilization.
For these civilizations, renovating all the houses in the royal capital is no less difficult than rebuilding a new city.
That would consume a huge amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
Especially after such a huge change in the royal capital, Lin Ke was able to lend a helping hand to other civilizations.
For the three Nubian trade officials, this was even more incredible.
Of course, but for Lin Ke, this is just a piece of cake.
If his civilization panel enters the next era, then the entire Holy Egypt will usher in great changes again.
By then, Holy Egypt will have opened up a huge gap with other civilizations, which will be something these people cannot understand at all.
"Get up quickly, guests who have come from afar."
Lin Ke just smiled and raised her hand gently.
The three Nubian trade officials replied softly, "Yes," and then slowly stood up.
Lin Ke knew very well that these three Nubian envoys must have some new cooperation matters to discuss with Lin Ke.
Coincidentally, Lin Ke had originally planned to send messengers to contact the [Builders] after they completed the "wonder".
In this way, Lin Ke saved a lot of effort.
After all, Lin Ke already has the resource of [cocoa beans].
Although the number of [cocoa beans] is still in single digits in the civilization panel, in the real world, those [cocoa beans] are enough to load about three carriages for transportation.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, we are here to discuss important trade matters with you. Please take a look."
At this time, the other party presented several rolls of parchment. After the guards presented the parchment, Lin Ke took a quick look at it.
Recorded above are some historical amounts of grain.
Lin Ke soon discovered that in the latest data collected by the other party, the number of grain and fodder transactions had dropped significantly.
Simply put, in the past, the continent was mainly based on agricultural products, that is, grain trade.
But today, the amount of grain trade between Nubia and other civilizations has dropped sharply.
This is very abnormal.
Lin Ke immediately thought that it might be related to the recent natural disasters.
After all, if Holy Egypt did not have sufficient food and many cities did not have high food output, Holy Egypt would now be facing the dilemma of famine.
So, Lin Ke raised his head at this time.
He planned to learn more about the current situation.
"Why has the amount of grain traded in Nubia dropped so drastically?"
"It may be related to the recent natural disasters."
When the other party heard Lin Ke's words, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is wise!"
"After the natural disaster, the food production of various civilizations was reduced by more than half."
“Even our food supply in Nubia has decreased by about one-third compared to before.”
"Of course, this has also led to a sharp increase in food prices."
"We have sold most of our stored grain, but this still cannot meet today's trade demand."
At this point, the three trade officials looked at each other.
"So, this time, we plan to cooperate with Saint Egypt."
"As we all know, Holy Egypt is blessed by His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh. We guess that the grain production in Holy Egypt will not be affected by this natural disaster."
"And it is indeed true. After investigation by several trade officials, we found that many refugees fleeing from famine came to the territory of Holy Egypt."
“So, we believe that, at this moment, only Holy Egypt is our best partner.”
Having said this, the three trade officials bowed in unison once again.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, if you are willing to sell some of the grain to us, we can take this opportunity to sell it at a high price."
After hearing what the other party said, Lin Ke just checked the information on the civilization panel in his consciousness.
Holy Egypt has a lot of food. Except for Cairo, the food supplies in other cities have almost reached their highest level ever.
Now, the [Waterwheel House] has been built, and the food and grass in the royal capital have changed from a "decreasing" trend to an "increasing" trend again.
Obviously, this is also a great opportunity for Saint Egypt to make money.
If he can earn more money, Lin Ke will be able to "purchase" the plots of land around the cities in Holy Egypt as soon as possible so that [builders] can build various [buildings] on those plots of land.
"Holy Egypt now has a little surplus of food."
"If I sell food and fodder to you, will you buy it at a fixed price?"
When the Nubian trade officer heard Lin Ke's words, he just nodded respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, we will buy the surplus food and fodder from Holy Egypt at three times the price."
When Lin Ke heard this, although his face was calm, he began to think in his mind.
If this natural disaster affects many civilizations on the continent, then the price of food will certainly increase several times.
Take the Mayan Kingdom for example. If it weren’t for Lin Ke’s help, the Mayan lord would have to spend all the kingdom’s wealth to rebuild their homes.
In other words, the money that the people of Nubia could earn from this should be more than five to eight times the normal price of food.
Obviously, the other party's three times price was just to buy the "surplus food" of Holy Egypt.
But what they didn't know was that the "surplus food" in other cities of Holy Egypt was far beyond the other party's imagination.
So, Lin Ke just responded with a smile.
"You three have come from afar, and it must have been very hard."
"Why don't you take a rest in Cairo? We can discuss again in two days."
When the three Nubian trade officials heard Lin Ke's words, they were stunned at first.
Then, they slowly bowed: "Okay...Okay! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
