The Great Zhou buys grain from these countries at the lowest prices, so the grain warehouses of Great Zhou have been well-stocked in recent years.
Upon learning that grain could be used as a form of payment, foreign merchants were quite pleased, as they too had an abundance of grain. However, since grain is cheap, quite a bit of grain is needed if one wishes to pay with it.
Currently, many foreign merchants are ready to pay with grain. Last year, these countries enjoyed favorable weather and abundant grain harvests, leaving the foreign merchants with more grain than they could consume.
Annan and Siam are not far from Swamp Prefecture, and the merchants have already sent escorts back to transport the grain.
In recent days, the former grain warehouses of Swamp Prefecture have already been filled. Fortunately, Zhao Yao had foresight and built ten new large grain warehouses last year.
