Lynn nodded slightly, showing no surprise.

The time since Boer last came to his territory wasn't long.

To be able to purchase such a large amount of barley in such a short time and deliver it quickly to his territory,

the only possibility is that he traded with the manor lords in Morgan Town.

Only large manor lords could have stored so much barley for several years.

Lynn roughly calculated in his mind.

One million pounds of barley, at a price of two pounds per penny, if converted to five pence per pound of fine salt.

He needs to exchange one hundred thousand pounds of fine salt with Boer!

With a thought, Lynn opened the [Resource Management] panel.

Fortunately, after a month of salt mining and production, the storage of fine salt has more than one hundred twenty thousand.

Otherwise, he really couldn't afford these one million pounds of barley!

Lynn spoke, "No problem, I can compensate you for this price difference!"

Hearing Lynn's response, Boer looked delighted, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Lynn."

Fortunately, Master Lynn is willing to cover the price difference.

Otherwise, this barley price could directly bankrupt him and all the merchants under his association, costing them everything.

That's one million pounds of barley at double the price!

Boer thought to himself.

Perhaps, it's only because someone urgently needed barley seeds for planting.

And has a salt mine, like Master Lynn, willing to purchase a large amount of barley at double the price.

Lynn responded with a nod and said to Boer, "Mr. Boer, I remember you mentioned before that many manor lords are unwilling to sell barley."

"Why is Jonas willing to sell you a hundred pounds now?"

Boer, hearing this, didn't think much, "Master Lynn, a merchant under my association named Holland is the eldest grandson of the Zion Clan, one of the former manor lords of Morgan Town."

"The Zion Clan has always been on good terms with Jonas Manor."

"Through Holland's recommendation, I went to Frank Manor and met Jonas's oldest granddaughter, Janet Frank."

"She sold me this one million pounds of barley overnight."

Lynn said nothing, quietly listening.

Boer continued, "These five hundred thousand pounds of barley come from the warehouse at Jonas Manor."

"And another five hundred thousand pounds are stored in the grain warehouse of Morgan Town. Once unloading is complete, I will return to Morgan Town to transport them to you, Master Lynn..."

Suddenly Boer changed the subject, curiously saying, "However, Master Lynn..."

"What I can't understand now is a sentence Janet mentioned."

"She said, 'I can replace Jonas to agree to the trade with me'!"

"And Janet's tone seemed to imply a lack of Gold Pounds..."

Lynn still said nothing, pondering in his mind.

One million pounds of grains, for an ordinary manor lord with ten thousand acres of farmland, is nearly a year's entire grain production.

According to Boer's words, Janet Frank is merely Jonas's eldest granddaughter.

Above Janet, there must be her father or uncles.

How could a granddaughter bypass her elders to make decisions for her grandfather?

Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help frowning.

The information he had was still too little.

Seemingly sensing Lynn was deep in thought, Boer quickly said, "Right, Janet's biological father, Jonas's eldest son, passed away a long time ago."

"The reason is still unknown."

Upon hearing this.

Lynn's eyebrows immediately raised.

Jonas's eldest son, Janet's father, is deceased?

So that's it, Lynn instantly understood.

Janet being able to say, 'I can replace Jonas to agree to the trade with me'.

Clearly, she got Jonas's permission!

The reason for the permission is naturally because Jonas wants to support his eldest granddaughter, Janet, to become the next manor lord of the Frank Clan.

Other than that, Lynn couldn't think of any possibility.

As for Jonas's fourth son Eduardo, who was intercepted and killed by bandits sometime ago...

Lynn looked at Boer, "Does Jonas have many bloodline descendants?"

Boer thought for a few seconds and explained, "It seems he has twelve sons!"

"Six of them are adults..."

Listening to Boer's explanation, Lynn couldn't help but nod.

Lynn felt that if he guessed right, the death of Jonas's fourth son, Eduardo.

Must have a great connection with Janet.

In a world where the law of primogeniture prevails, even if the eldest son dies, there are other sons.

It wouldn't fall to a granddaughter to inherit.

For a granddaughter to inherit, there's only one possibility—all her uncles must die!

So, Eduardo isn't likely to be the last son of Jonas to die!

Thinking of this.

Lynn's heart was filled with anticipation.

What kind of woman is Janet to have such a snake-like heart?

He was more curious.

As a manor lord and biological father, does Jonas know his eldest granddaughter is killing his son?

If he doesn't know, that's one thing.

If he knows and allows it...

Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs.

This would be too cruel!

Lynn thought for a moment.

It's not just the Frank Clan, how is the Ducas Clan any different?

Withdrawing the thought.

Lynn said to Boer, "Mr. Boer, if possible, try to stay away from Frank Manor."
