Chapter 801

Antwerp, lowland Republic.

Bang!

The wooden door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a shapeless figure rushed in, waving an order form in his hand.

Without waiting for his eyes to adapt to the slightly dim indoor environment, he cried out eagerly:

"Mr. James, come on! Come on! Do you have any tulip bulbs? Big orders from the Sark empire

The middle-aged businessman, who was hiding in a corner of the tavern and drinking with several companions, put down his glass when he saw the visitor

"It's Mr. Fitch. I still have 400 kg of common varieties and 10 rare ones in September. The price is..."

At present, there are mainly two kinds of tulip trade on the market: ordinary varieties and treasures.

The price of common varieties is determined by weight, while that of rare ones by head. The difference between them is even greater than that between tongfuer and golden lion.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Fitch didn't even listen to the price and waved his hand

"I'll take it all! Where are the goods? Deliver immediately

The tulip merchant named James dropped his glass and rushed out after him.

The rest of the tulip merchants continued to drink and chat.

"Another one. What a pity! Recently, the price of tulip continues to rise, but the goods in our hands are almost out.

Moreover, the cultivation cycle of both rare and common varieties is too long. No matter how the market price rises, our supply in a short time is limited. "

"If only I had known the market. Even at the beginning, I had to buy more in September."

"Alas! Who said no! "

All of you are experts. You know there are only two ways to breed tulips. One is through seeds, and the other is through the roots of tulips.

If it is propagated by seeds, it will take 7-12 years to get ideal corms. In the bulk tulip market, it is never flowers that trade, but bulbs that are easy to store and transport.

Corm reproduction is simpler.

Tulip bulbs are like onions. If they are planted in the field, they will bloom in April and may every year, and the flowering period is only about ten days.

In September of each year, new bulbs grow from the roots of tulips, which are twice as large as when they were planted. If it is measured by weight, the value will double.

Therefore, it will not be until next September that new products will be launched to meet customers' growing demand for tulips.

"Hey! Guys, I have an idea to share with you. "

All of a sudden, one of the tulip merchants in the audience opened his mouth and said mysteriously after seeing all the others

"Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest problem we are facing now is the imbalance between supply and demand of tulips.

However, if we put the "output of next year", pay attention! It's "output in September next year" and will be put on the market in the form of "guild standard sales contract"

Then make a clear agreement that when the tulip bulbs are harvested, they must be delivered according to the current price. Isn't that the best of both worlds? "

At the beginning, others were still at a loss. They didn't understand how the things still in the field could be used for trading. But when they slowly understood what he meant, the eyes of a table suddenly lit up.

One after another unconsciously lowered his voice and excitedly said:

"It can be done, seconded!"

"Secondment!"

“....”

Although they don't have this concept yet, the world's first "futures contract" is destined to be fresh.

A thought of heaven, a thought of hell, oh, the great "Lord of gold" bless!

......

St. Evan's central cathedral has been renamed "St. Evan's cathedral".

In an independent side hall filled with students of different ages, professors in black uniforms knocked on the blackboard

"Come on, let's review the economics foundation we learned in the last lesson. Who can tell us what factors determine the price of a commodity?

Well, Mr. Osmond's hand is the highest. Come on

A young man with short brown hair stood up excitedly and talked in public

"There are four main factors that determine the price. The first is cost, which determines the bottom line of price; The second is the relationship between supply and demand. The stronger the demand is, the less the supply is, and the higher the price is;

The third is the information environment of buyers and sellers. The more information buyers have, the more cost-effective goods they can get; The fourth is efficiency. The less intermediate links there are... "

The "National University of Garriott", located in the suburbs, is still under construction. However, in line with the idea of your Highness the grand duke's vigorous efforts, the enrollment of the first batch of students has long been completed.

To overcome the hardware difficulties, the staff borrowed some rooms of the "Black Iron Cross Church" cathedral as classrooms and started teaching ahead of time.

At the present stage, the "National University", which is positioned as the highest institution of learning in the principality, has set up a total of Seven Disciplines: Liberal Arts (including literature, history, philosophy and Art), law, finance and economics, education, science and engineering, agriculture and forestry, and medicine.

Among them, science and engineering, medicine, liberal arts, finance and economics are the main subjects, with both industry, University and research.

Moreover, the National University has entered the preparatory list of the pan continental organization "Red Maple Leaf College Alliance". According to the tradition of the College Alliance, some excellent talents have the opportunity to be introduced into the extraordinary road besides the conventional disciplines.

Although the extraordinary power in the new world is far less mysterious than that in the relatively peaceful old world, it is also a power that most ordinary people can't expect in their lifetime, both because of knowledge and resources.

In addition.

Although the "National University" has been established for a short time, its faculty ranks among the best in many countries.

Art, history, science and engineering, agriculture and forestry, and medicine are the traditional advantages of witches. The witches who come to the principality to serve in the school of truth are like fish in water.

Although the conditions of the school need to be improved, the witches never thought that they would be able to go to the Church of the true God, and the clergymen all welcomed each other with a smile. The spiritual pleasure was no less than the material salary.

The sorcerers of "mechanical immortality school" gave great support to "Engineering". Even if the extraordinary part is removed, the rest is the most advanced dry goods of this era.

Dr. Taylor of the "visari school", Dr. Leon of the potion master, and Elvin's students of the "tree of life school" have profound attainments in the field of medicine or agriculture and forestry.

Even in the field of Finance and economics, Elvin captured the Elijah Kingdom, the successor of a group of top capitalists.

Last but not least, Elvin, the great wizard and Duke, acted as the headmaster. His vision transcended the times.

"National University of Garriott" has the foundation to become a world-class university.

of course.

While improving the quality of the population, the pursuit of quantity has not been put down. The performance appraisal of "mother of water" Melo started in August last year, and has successfully achieved the great goal of 5% net population growth in August this year.

In addition to the macro guidance of the government in this process, the nimasts with the majority of male population and the Atleans with the majority of female population are also rapidly integrating.

The principality is striding forward to the grand blueprint of a single subject nation.

Ivan also appointed count Milan snett as the son-in-law of the Hurons, Minister of national integration and chief astrologer of the duchy.

At the same time, thanks to the "Sabbath tree" in the inland areas, they have completely turned the mainland into a state of no spirit.

In addition, with the wolf people's all-out efforts to fight the existing spirits and ghosts, it may not take half a year for the principality's "westward plan" to be officially launched.

In addition to the inherent "Black Sea coastal area", "broken Star Sea coastal area" and the "Albert mountain area" full of gold mines.

In addition, the "upper itaska valley area" on the South Bank of the sixth Dalian Lake in the middle, the "lower itaska valley area" from the lower reaches of the Central River to the southern coastline, and the "central and Western great plain area" across the main basin of the itaska River can also start the first phase of development.

Starting from the most refined and livable part of each region, we will distribute the potential of the land in a distributed way.

At that time, not to mention that the population growth rate will be 5%, that is, 10%, and there will be places where 15% of the population can be resettled.

In addition.

With the victory of the international war and the steady improvement of tulip and duchy's international status, a large number of investment and personnel from all over the world are pouring into the duchy.

After firmly grasping the people's livelihood, Elvin began to open up the free market in other economic fields.

He is very clear that if the national economy does not turn into a backwater, it is necessary to give full play to the subjective initiative of all people, and maintain the basic rules of the game that the capable go up and the mediocre go down.

The students in the class are one of the guarantees for him to maintain the established rules and his own ruling power, or they are the royal party firmly united around the king.

Every student is an extension of his ruling power. As he spreads to all walks of life in the future, his ruling power will reach the most basic level of the principality.

The Principality of Garriott, a mainland country, has suddenly become one of the most potential and competitive emerging countries in this era.

In the steady progress of all aspects of national construction, time suddenly came to the spring of 192.

White Swan Castle.

"That's it. Those ghosts, apparently from ancient civilizations, have almost blocked the whole outer space. We can't leave herag without breaking through their defenses.

Most importantly, we have no idea which ancient civilization they came from? What is the intention of blocking the planet? Is it still under control?... "

Elvin and jeros, who finally accompanied Stephanie back from faletis, sat opposite each other. On the table in the middle of them was a fist sized wooden "walnut kernel" thing.

It is the core of the "sweeper" brought back from space.

Evan knows that this should be some kind of "chip" like controller, but in the absence of contrast information, it is not easy to interpret.

But jeros, who has been frowning ever since he saw it, pinched his forehead and said slowly:

"This stuff... Maybe I know where it comes from."

Pa -!

As jeros spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the "magic garden · uluk Temple" opened.

"I may not have told you that the third era of the ancient civilization, the Muria civilization, is very good at biotechnology."
