The general's eyes were full of scrutiny and confusion. After staring at Sheila for a long time, the general asked, "His Excellency Sheila, will you lose money at this price?"

The whispered student in the restaurant immediately stopped, and the officers focused their eyes on Sheila's face again. Sheila had sent an envoy before she arrived at the legion, asking the legion to summon the captain and the soldiers above the leader to have a dinner together. Sheila would bring a new food to the legion. The officers had previously discussed what new food Mr. Sheila would bring. The statements were strange, and the common point was that she was full of expectations. The results in front of her even exceeded expectations, but did not make everyone happy.

Ordinary people in Eastern Rome would also use ripe berries to make sweet jam. The sweet candy in front of them is a delicacy that only nobles can enjoy. The officers in the legion only regarded the candy they had just eaten into their mouths as Sheila's kindness. This kind of thing is probably just a few bites to try some sweetness. If the total amount is a little, what can I do if I am cheap?

Sheila could understand the thoughts of these soldiers. Everyone had been waiting for a year. This sweetness was nothing compared to the anxiety they had endured. So Sheila raised her left hand high, stretched her fingers out, and said loudly: "From the price of wheat at the beginning of last year, three pounds of wheat were exchanged for two pounds of malt sugar! I guarantee that each soldier in Ankara's army can get five pounds of malt sugar every month. This is the kind you just ate."

Still no one spoke, everyone looked at Sheila like a monster, and some people's eyes were even full of pity. The price of sugar that a legion soldier could only eat for five kilograms of nobles per month was one and a half times that of wheat last year. The general smiled bitterly. The female veteran's concern for the Roman legion was indeed touching, but this female veteran might have gone crazy with great concern.

Sheila was used to the methods of the Europa Province and understood that these methods were often inexplicable to outsiders. She was too lazy to explain and asked the general loudly: "Genius General, I know that Basels has sent the food coupons to you. Can you accept the price I proposed?"

"Ha, hehe." The general couldn't help but smile bitterly: "His Excellency Sheila, are you sure you won't lose money?"

"I just don't make money, and I'm not at the point of losing money. You, I'm in a hurry to go back and transport the goods, so please give me a clear answer. Can the Legion accept this price?"

This insistence gave the general no longer room to help Sheila relax. The general asked the officers: "Brothers of the Legion, can you accept this price?"

"Of course I can accept it!" someone immediately replied loudly. The others who didn't say anything were not unable to accept the price, but felt that the price itself was ridiculously cheap.

The general said to Sheila: "Look, everyone can accept it."

Sheila stood up and said, "I'll go back to transport the goods now." After that, she walked out quickly.

Riding on the horse, Sheila felt that a large stone fell back into her stomach. Sulun is an unknown person in Constantinople, and few people know him. Ankara's nobles evaluated Sulun as a "weird". After such a long time of cooperation, Sheila felt that everyone's evaluation was correct. Sulun was indeed a weird person based on the standards of the past era. But the times began to change, and Sulun's personality would make him completely different in the new era.

The nobles of Ankara were very cautious in their first year of cooperation with the Europa Province. Most of the money earned through sesapole stone was used to purchase steel tools, and the area of ​​new crops was very small. The Sulun family had 2,000 Yugram land, which was converted into the Song Dynasty land of 24,000 acres. The enthusiasm for cooperation made people in the Europa Province feel a little unbearable. Almost the personnel asked Sulun to plant 12,000 acres of sweet potatoes, 4,000 acres of pumpkin, and 4,000 acres of corn. The two thousand acres of land planted barley and pepper, and the remaining areas were planted with potatoes. A small part of the particularly fertile land was opened into wheat experimental fields.

The harvest scared Sheila. One acre of pumpkin produces two thousand kilograms, one acre of sweet potatoes is also two thousand kilograms, and one acre of potatoes is six or seven hundred kilograms. The granary of Sulun’s family is already full of stuff, and the large number of sweet potatoes on the open space outside the granary are piled up as high as the mountain. Many nobles who were frightened by the small amount of planted acres came to Sulun’s family to see it and simply cried with regret.

The methods of the Europa Province were more than that. Sheila originally did not understand why the land that could have grown wheat was originally grown. Now she understood that sweet potatoes and barley could actually be made into sugar. The price of malt sugar Sullen gave Sheila was half of the price of wheat at the beginning of last year, and the yield of sweet potatoes was ten times the yield of wheat. Even if barley was converted into it, Sullen's benefits per acre of land were three and a half times the price of wheat at the beginning of last year. The unrequited benefits of the great nobles tried every means to move were easily achieved by Sullen. Since this was the case, Sheila had no reason to delay.

On the morning of the third day after Sheila left Ankara, thirty carts filled with goods were parked at the gate of the Ankara Legion camp. The general who received the news came to greet him in person, and Wu Yangyang followed many officers and soldiers behind him. This trip made Sheila feel tired. She tried her best to stand up straight and said to the general: "Your Excellency, how are you going to accept it?"

The general has experienced many fierce war scenes. Seeing the car full of things, he still doesn't know how to deal with it. If Elder Xila was not crazy, the general felt that he was going crazy. The army soldiers and their families had been in a food shortage for several months. At this time, Elder Xila's solution was that "there is not enough food, I'll give you candy."

At this time, there is no room for trouble. Since Sheila and the general are always crazy, the general decided to die early and be reborn. He ordered the deputy general: "Start acceptance."

More than an hour later, the acceptance of solid and liquid maltose was completed. The officers recalled the taste they tasted last time and smiled naturally on their faces. The soldiers didn't know what it tasted, so they could only hope. The general was silent for a while and asked Sheila: "These are only two months' worth."

Sheila smiled and said, "Your Excellency, these sugars are not very storage-resistant. I will send them again in a month."

"Yes." The general responded absent-mindedly.

Sheila asked straightforwardly, "When will you issue a certificate? I will also get the certificate and go back to Constantinople to collect the money."

The general's hesitation was swept away, and he replied decisively: "Hisa, this is the first time I have eaten this kind of candy. I don't know if the people in the Legion can accept it, nor do I know what will happen after so many people have eaten it. Are you allowed to issue a certificate in two months?"

"Okay." Sheila replied very simply: "Can you please help me write a letter of recommendation to other legions?"

"Of course." The general replied expressionlessly.

Sheila, who received the general's recommendation letter, rushed back to Constantinople as quickly as possible. She went straight to the legion of Constantinople without even returning home. She thought that the generals of Constantinople would be more likely to accept new things, but she did not expect that this place was more conservative than the generals of Ankara's legion. After the tasting, the general did not even order on a large scale, but asked Sheila to provide another 10,000 kilograms for internal promotion of the legion.

Sheila felt a little uneasy. Did these people not hungry for long enough? Or were they addicted to eating pumpkins and potatoes? Why didn’t you buy such a good thing quickly? Forcibly endured the uneasiness, Sheila began to prepare to travel again when she got home. No matter what the generals of the legion thought, all the legion except the legion where her brother was, had to go there in person.

When she heard that Sheila was going out again, her mother couldn't help but complain with distress: "Shila, why do I feel that there is only one senator in the entire Senate who is doing things, and the others don't know what they are busy with all day long. Look at what you are doing!"

Hearing this complaint, Sheila's father immediately expressed his objection, "You can't say that, other veterans naturally have their own affairs with other veterans, and they also have a lot of hard work."

She gave her husband a blank look, but Sheila's mother stopped talking. Sheila didn't think so much, and she continued to prepare her luggage for travel. Sheila was too busy with her own affairs, so she could not care about what other veterans were doing.

Through the office's own channel, Director Xin smiled and said, "Is the little girl very energetic?"

Being motivated is a tradition of the Europa Province for more than ten years. Thousands of miles away from the motherland is not a good place for retirement. Senior Li Natural has not been here for a long time, but fully understands this tradition. He also nodded in appreciation. The office hopes that Sheila can succeed. The two foods look amazing in gross profit, and the profit is just enough for the Europa Province to invest in aid. The better Sheila does, the sooner the province will make a profit. It takes principal to start a money house, and the Europa Province does not want to use the four-party payment as its principal.

Director Xin asked Li Natural as soon as he praised Sheila, "Will other veterans get into trouble?"

"They may intervene after seeing the interests. The purpose of the veteran who will intervene now is probably to be hostile to Sheila."

Director Xin agreed with Li Natural's analysis in principle, but this kind of thing is hard to say. The Yuan Kingdom originally had the intention of holding grain for sale. At this time, the Yuan team was fighting fiercely with the Teutonic Knights in Warsaw area. Eastern Rome really didn't have to consider importing food anymore.

After more than half a year of panic, the legion of the Eastern Roman court became increasingly hostile to the great nobles. After this struggle, the great nobles failed to achieve the goal of raising the food price. They were also desperate about the future. If the Song Dynasty encountered such a situation of despair between both sides, the greatest possibility was a civil war.
