"They are the three adults from Nubia."
Remheb looked at the three Nubian trade officials and just responded with a polite smile.
"Are the three adults satisfied with this 'market meeting' in Holy Egypt?"
Remheb stepped forward respectfully and bowed to the three Nubian trade officials.
The merchants were very surprised to hear that these three people were actually Nubian trade officials.
"What?! You are Nubian trade officers?"
"No wonder he's so generous!"
"Ah! If that's the case, there's nothing we can do..."
These well-dressed businessmen began to howl, and their voices sounded very frustrated.
After all, nowadays, whoever gets these grains can make a lot of money.
For the Nubian trade officials who bought the grain at six times the price, it was nothing more than squeezing most of the profit space for Holy Egypt.
But for these three trade officials, they did not think there was anything wrong with the high price.
They just felt that it was because of their own misjudgment that they gave a wrong offer to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
That's why His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh did not accept their offer at that time.
Now they just regretted that they had underestimated the food reserves of Holy Egypt.
After all, Nubia is not on the same level as other merchants.
The trade they engage in is all on a huge scale.
Therefore, the price they offer will be slightly lower than the market price.
Just like a loaf of bread sells for 20 deben copper coins, but if Nubia comes to buy it, they can buy it for 18 deben copper coins.
Because once they decide to buy, the quantity of items they purchase will become very large.
Therefore, their offer will be slightly lower, but the seller will be very happy to accept it.
But Holy Egypt is different.
They first made a wrong prediction and reported a number far lower than expected.
They didn't notice this at the time and didn't explain it much.
What's more, they can communicate directly with the great king of Holy Egypt, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
Therefore, compared with the high price, they care more about maintaining a good relationship with Holy Egypt.
Every businessman here knows that today's Holy Egypt is the largest grain producer on the continent.
As long as we can establish good relations with Holy Egypt, we can get free food aid from Holy Egypt like its allies.
For the three Nubian trade officials, that was simply unimaginable.
So, after hearing what Remheb said, the three trade officials just quickly replied respectfully: "Satisfied!"
"This 'market fair' is really beyond our imagination!"
"But! Lord Remheb!"
"We plan to take all the food here!"
"At six times the price!"
After hearing what the three Nubian trade officials said, the merchants turned pale.
They just talked quietly.
"Six times the price..."
"Then when this batch of grain enters the market, the price will surely increase by seven or eight times!"
"And let us hear what they say!"
The merchants were talking to each other, but they became quiet after a while and just glanced at the location of the three trade officials.
When Remheb heard what the other party said, he just nodded slightly.
"Of course, the distinguished Nubian guest of Holy Egypt."
"You are our important partner, so you naturally have priority."
After hearing Remheb's words, the merchants opened their eyes wide.
“Important partner?”
"Priority?"
"Lord Remheb! What do you mean by this? Could you explain it a little?"
After hearing what Remheb said, some businessmen looked puzzled.
After all, in their opinion, since they are important partners, they should not appear here.
But Remheb went on to say what priority rights these three Nubian trade officials could enjoy.
This left them feeling confused.
"This is what His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh meant."
"From now on, Holy Egypt will hold the 'Market Fair' at this time of every month."
"And this item is also included in the 'Market Assembly'."
"That is, Holy Egypt will release a portion of its grain reserves for merchants to purchase."
"And if merchants want to make purchases, they must abide by the bidding rules of Holy Egypt."
"That is, the one with the highest bid will be eligible to purchase."
"And Saint Egypt's partners can also obtain priority rights. That is, if the partner's bid is the same as that of other merchants, Saint Egypt will give priority to selling to the partner."
"This is the bidding rule for Holy Egypt's grain."
Remheb paused slightly when he said this.
"And the reason why His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh made such a rule is to allow more food to flow into the market."
"This way, we can prevent Saint Egypt from putting too much food into the market, which would affect food prices."
"It can also ensure the circulation of food in the market to prevent the current 'famine' situation from occurring."
After hearing what Remheb said, many businessmen nodded vigorously as if they suddenly understood.
“I see!”
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is truly far-sighted. He actually thought of using this method to sell grain to the market!"
"In this way, situations like today will never happen again!"
"Otherwise, to buy it at six times the price, apart from Nubia, I'm afraid only the kingdom's caravans have the financial resources to do so."
The merchants just nodded, and the three Nubian trade officials' eyes lit up after hearing what Remheb said.
"Very good! Very good! Lord Remheb!"
"This bidding method is fair to everyone!"
"Whoever bids the highest will get it! Besides, if the bid is too high, the caravan will suffer losses."
"In other words, this bidding can slowly bring food prices back to normal levels."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is truly wise!"
The three of them then began to praise Lin Ke, and Remheb looked at the different reactions of the crowd and just smiled softly.
"But don't worry, everyone."
"Today, in addition to selling food, His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh also plans to sell another thing."
Having said that, Remheb first glanced at the three trade officers.
"Of course, don't worry, my three lords. His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh has an agreement with the distinguished guests. We will give priority to supplying Nubia with a fixed amount, and then supply the rest to the market."
After hearing what Remheb said, the expressions of the three trade officials became very confused.
"A fixed amount?"
"Lord Remheb, what are you talking about?"
