Chapter 307

On the Continent of the Gods, gold and silver coins were the main currency in circulation, while copper coins mostly served as small change.

However, no silver mines had been discovered in the Misty Mountains, so the Yan Kingdom was also purchasing large quantities of silver ore.

The Hope Avenue had become unprecedentedly lively.

On this avenue, quite a few orc warriors were also maintaining order.

Anyone who caused trouble would be driven away directly and placed on a blacklist, so no one dared to make a scene at all.

With those massive orc warriors standing there, no one was foolish enough to cause trouble.

Carriages came and went in a steady stream.

The newly built Yan City had become unprecedentedly lively.

Inside, potatoes were continuously transported over by the orcs, and then hauled away in an endless stream by the carriages of the Hiling Kingdom.

The efficiency was extremely high.

As long as the people of the Hiling Kingdom stated the quantity and paid, they would receive a voucher; taking the voucher to another spot, they could simply load up the potatoes.

The potato-loading area was very spacious, and the orcs were highly efficient — they seemed to have the potatoes pre-loaded in thousand-jin batches, so as soon as someone's carriage arrived, they could load it up swiftly.

In addition, Yan City had separated the nobles from the commoners.

The nobles had twenty potato shipping bays, and the commoners had thirty!

This was to ensure that these commoners would not be squeezed out by the nobles.

"We're rich, we're rich! On this trip we hauled two thousand jin — we can earn ten gold coins!"

All along Hope Avenue, excited voices like this could be heard everywhere.

Whether nobles or commoners, every face beamed with joy.

Who wouldn't be happy about a chance to make money?

The number of people arriving on the very first day was already more than enough.

As a result, on the second day, even more people came.

Even larger convoys of carriages arrived.

These convoys were preparing to peddle the potatoes to places farther away.

Meng Ying had not set a fixed selling price for the potatoes.

With rice prices constantly rising these days, even if these people sold the potatoes at one silver coin per jin, there would probably still be buyers willing to purchase them.

Therefore, on the second day, Yan City's potato sales became even more exaggerated.

But it had not yet reached the point of supply falling short of demand.

After all, the preparatory work had been done by the fox woman Sister Qing Ling for a long time already, and every day large quantities of potatoes were hauled into Yan City.

Starting from the third day, the Yan Kingdom's potatoes were being sold to other regions.

And the people flooding into Yan City grew more and more numerous.

Even on the hundred-meter-wide Hope Avenue, a crowded scene could be seen at any moment.

Starting from the fifth day, noble convoys from other regions began arriving in Yan City to haul potatoes.

This enormous business opportunity was being discovered by more and more people.

Faced with the lure of gold coins, more and more people from the Hiling Kingdom joined in the potato trade.

And even though some people sold the potatoes at one silver coin per jin, compared to rice they were still more than half the price, which caused potatoes to become a sensation across every region of the Hiling Kingdom!
