C368 Dock Talks
Soon, the table was filled with dishes. Xu Tianyu and Potter sat at the side and enjoyed their meal.
It was as if they were old friends meeting. Even Necromancer, Potter, had such a passionate side to him. It was rare.
After the alcohol was drunk, everyone became familiar with one another, so Potter went straight to the point.
"I wonder what Young Master Tianyu is here for?"
"The first reason, I heard that it's quite lively here, so I came to take a look."
The corner of Potter's mouth twitched. He pretended as if he didn't hear Xu Tianyu's words.
"As for the second one, you know about my Watt City. It's been fighting with Beastmen all year round, and I don't have enough manpower."
Xu Tianyu did not finish his sentence, Potter completely understood Xu Tianyu's intention for coming here.
He completely took a fancy to the number of people in Five Seas City. This made him frown slightly.
To them, the population was an equally important resource.
"Young Master Tianyu, maybe this time …"
Potter was about to refuse, but he was stopped by Xu Tianyu.
"General Potter, since you know my identity, you should understand my sincerity."
Xu Tianyu's headless words made Potter's frown loosen and a smile appeared on his face.
What was Xu Tianyu's identity? He was a grain merchant, and in the desert, other than water, there was only food.
To the Sand Empire, these two things were even more important than life.
Now that they had Five Seas City, water resources were no longer a problem but food was undoubtedly a problem.
Potter's idea was to stabilize the Five Seas City and vigorously develop the farming methods for the grains.
Then they would form a caravan and go to another city to buy food.
Now, Xu Tianyu, this big grain merchant, was in front of him. Why didn't he react?
"Young Master Tianyu, are you planning to use food to exchange for the population of Five Seas City?"
Although Potter had a guess in his heart, he still hoped to get Xu Tianyu's affirmation.
"Yeah, I do have that thought, but it still depends on what General Potter wants."
"No problem, absolutely no problem. I wonder what Young Master Tianyu's price is?"
Potter didn't even consider it.
Compared to the food that he was about to get, the population was nothing.
In any case, with so many cities in the Sky Dragon Empire, there would be a large population. As long as he went to the next city.
"General Potter is indeed straightforward, I will not bargain. A bag of food for one person, regardless of gender or age, this is the price."
Xu Tianyu did not beat around the bush and directly said the price that he wanted.
Potter was stunned for a moment. Although Xu Tianyu's offer was a bit low.
For a young man, a bag of food was indeed a little too little.0
However, the request Xu Tianyu gave him was for both men, women, old and young. With such a balance, the price wasn't unacceptable.
However, Potter didn't immediately agree and said with a smile.
"Young Master Tianyu, the price you gave is very real, but people are also very important to our Sand Empire, this …"
"Needless to say, one man for two bags of food. The others can only exchange for a bag of food. "
Xu Tianyu interrupted Potter's bullsh * t.
Just a few bags of food. He was able to purchase several bags of food from the system with 1 gold coin.
Food was not even worth much to Xu Tianyu. To be able to trade for people, that was a profitable business.
"Alright, Young Master Tianyu is straightforward. Should we do it now?"
"Sure, I've brought a lot of food. As long as you have enough people, I have plenty."
Xu Tianyu said confidently. A single Five Seas City would be equivalent to around a million people.
To Xu Tianyu, one million bags of food was nothing.
