At this point, the internal conflict in the Versailles family had finally settled down. To everyone’s surprise, the final winner was Ivan, who was so low-profile that he was looked down upon by everyone.

No one dared to object to this result, as the meeting was held under the witness of the primordial Sword Saint. If anyone objected to this result, it meant that they were against the primordial Sword Saint. No one in the Versailles family had the guts to do so.

At the same time, the three elders who were loyal to the death finally realized that Ivan had unknowingly gained the same strength as them. It was no wonder that they had lost.

The three elders Ivan chose this time were also very interesting. Two of them were from the neutral faction, which was the core of Ivan’s faction, and the last one was stern from the Grand elder’s faction.

Everyone in the Versailles family knew that although stern was the Foreign Affairs elder, he seemed to be very close to the great elder, Caesar, to the point where he would almost listen to everything he said. Now, he had actually been chosen as the third elder, which was really beyond everyone’s expectations.

However, they soon understood why Ivan did that. After selecting stern as the third elder, he quickly took over the great elder’s original faction. His loyal faction now occupied more than 60% of the seats in the elder Council. This number was terrifying. Even the great elder didn’t have such power back then.

Caesar and the other two elders finally understood how powerful Ivan was. Just a simple position as an elder had taken over half of the great elder’s forces. This was definitely the work of a political veteran.

The decision made by the Versailles Elder Council left the people from the major trading companies dumbfounded. They had never thought that the two people they supported would fall in the end, while the forgotten Ivan rose to power.

The large trading companies were caught off guard. However, something even more shocking happened. Right after the meeting with the elders, Ivan suddenly announced that the Versailles family had shipped a large amount of food and would sell it to the civilians of the Duchy of Versailles at a low price. When the news came out, the price of grain plummeted.

Ivan wasn’t lying. As soon as he finished his sentence, carts of food entered the city. Although they were all bamboo rice, people had learned how to eat them. Many aristocrats ate bamboo rice, not to mention the civilians.

The large trading companies had also calculated that there were close to a million catties of bamboo rice being transported into Kasa city this time. There were also close to three million catties of bamboo rice being transported to other cities in the Duchy of Versailles. Once more than four million catties of grain poured into the Duchy of Versailles, the price of the grain would not be able to rise even if it wanted to.

The merchants finally understood that they had been tricked by Laura. If they couldn’t see through such an obvious thing, they wouldn’t be merchants anymore.

However, they couldn’t say anything. When they agreed to Laura’s conditions, they didn’t have a good heart. They were prepared to join forces to deal with Laura after the person they supported took over. They didn’t expect that Laura would be one step ahead and deal with them first.

The major trading companies also knew that if they continued to fight, they would end up offending the Versailles family, and their lives would become even more difficult. Therefore, the moment the grains entered the city, the prices of the grains in the Versailles Duchy fell.

The food crisis caused by the insect disaster and the series of chain reactions were finally over. There were only two biggest winners this time, Laura and Ivan.

No one knew that there was actually another winner. This winner had been hiding behind the scenes, but he had earned the most. This winner was Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai had earned nearly 20000 gold coins from the food crisis. He was still pocketing a few hundred gold coins a day. Most importantly, he was the one who caused the crisis.

When Zhao Hai received Laura’s message, he couldn’t help but laugh. This storm started because of him, and now it was settled with his help. Most importantly, they had earned money and even sent Ivan, who had a good relationship with the Buda family, to the throne of the Versailles family. This was very important to Zhao Hai and his friends.

With Ivan on the throne, he wouldn’t do anything to the Buda family anymore. This removed one of their biggest threats, and they didn’t have to worry about the Versailles Duchy doing anything to them.

Zhao Hai did not expect such an outcome. It was beyond his expectations. He no longer had to worry about the matters in Kass city. He no longer had to provide food. The large trading companies had reduced their prices of food. The prices of food around Versailles Duchy had also dropped. The food crisis had been officially resolved.

This news was not necessarily a good thing for Zhao Hai. To be exact, buying food was very profitable for Zhao Hai. He could earn a few hundred gold coins a day. Now that other places were selling food, his income was much lower.

However, Zhao Hai was still able to earn nearly 200 gold coins just by buying food every day. The evil consequences of the actions of the large trading companies were now fully displayed.

Ordinary civilians would bear grudges. They knew who had helped them in their most difficult times and who had harmed them in their most difficult times.

It was precisely because of this that very few people went to other shops to buy things. Most people would still go to the red spider lily shop to buy things.

At this point, the people from the large merchant families had no choice but to admit that Laura’s actions this time were much more brilliant than theirs. She had actually created a golden signboard in the entire Versailles Duchy.

These large trading companies all understood how difficult it was to establish such a golden signboard. As long as they had this signboard, the red spider lily shop would definitely be rolling in money in the future.

However, it was useless for them to think about that now. They could only try to get people to join their shops. Therefore, they had no choice but to offer some smart conditions, such as lowering the prices of certain products or giving small gifts when buying.

These big merchants had been doing business for a long time, so they were very familiar with this kind of small trick. Now, they were naturally very familiar with it.

Even so, there were not many people who went to their shop to buy things. They also knew that what they did before had completely offended these civilians. Fortunately, they were all big merchants with rich families and could afford to pay. As long as they could hold on for a while, they should be able to slowly recover.

However, it was impossible for them to return to their former state. Moreover, Laura would not let go of this opportunity and would definitely seize the opportunity to occupy the market. Even if they managed to recover, they would only be able to drink the soup.

Most importantly, these large trading companies had offended the Versailles family. If someone they supported took over the Duchy, it would be fine as Ivan would not make things difficult for them and might even give them some benefits. However, the person taking over the Duchy was Ivan, who had nothing to do with them. They were already being respected by Ivan if he didn’t kick them out of the Versailles Duchy, let alone benefits.

Zhao Hai did not care about what had happened in Casar city. He was more concerned about the situation in the blackearth wilderness and the rotten corpse swamp.

When the Versailles family called for their first elder Council, Zhao Hai had already received news from Zhao Zui. They had seen Boff the wind Saint, but he did not do anything. Boff was very curious about the zombies, but he did not do anything to them. After all, that was the rotten corpse swamp.

Zhao Hai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Boff had really entered the carrion swamp. He released the slaves and packed up the things in the castle. The oil press and the stone mill began to work. This time, they were ready to process the rice. The rice was much stronger than the ordinary bamboo rice. Zhao Hai still had a lot of rice left, which he kept for himself.

It turned out that the bamboo rice bought by Grimm and the others had already been given to Laura by Zhao Hai. Laura and the others had started selling the bamboo rice that Grimm had bought. One must know that the bamboo rice produced in the realm was much stronger than the ones bought by Grimm. Zhao Hai was reluctant to sell all the good things and keep the bad ones for himself.

At the same time, Zhao Hai had also begun to improve the soil in the black soil wilderness. It was already August, so it was too late to plant food. Therefore, Zhao Hai did not sow the seeds himself. Instead, he got some common vegetable seeds for the slaves to try planting. At the same time, he started to stock up some firewood to prepare the slaves ‘winter clothes.

When Zhao Haiti was on the ball, he was the only one who had his fill. Now that there were more than a hundred people counting on him, he realized that he had a lot to prepare.

The first was to burn firewood. It was impossible to lack firewood in winter. If there was too little, it would freeze people to death. In addition, there were cotton clothes and food. The amount of firewood planted was really quite a lot.

Fortunately, Zhao Hai had created a temporary teleportation point in the city of Casar. This teleportation point was not a fixed teleportation point set up by Zhao Hai. When Grimm arrived in Casar city, he bought a house in a relatively remote place in the city. Then, he entered the realm from the house, and thus, the place became a teleport point.

Zhao Hai bought a lot of things through the teleportation point. He couldn’t give the slaves glass windows as they were too expensive, so he only bought some paper Windows. Then, he put a bed, a cabinet, a table, four chairs, a Brazier, a copper kettle, and some food in each slave’s house.

After he was done, Zhao Hai realized that he had unknowingly spent almost 5000 gold coins. The speed at which he spent money was much faster than when he earned it.
