Chapter 16: Fortune Hidden
Jack was originally just a small seed merchant from the south, barely making a living by selling grain and fruit seeds.
Though his life wasn't wealthy, at least he had enough to eat and drink.
Until a few months ago, when he heard a fellow merchant boasting in a tavern:
After the "Northern Pioneering Decrees" were issued, many nobles rushed to the Northern Province to pioneer, creating an extremely high demand for seeds that couldn't be met!
This rumor made his heart race.
In the south, seed merchants were as common as horse dung by the roadside, with hundreds fighting over one piece of cake, making it nearly impossible to earn big money.
But the Northern Province was different. He'd heard it was barren and desolate, with seeds hard to come by. As long as goods arrived, there would be no shortage of buyers!
"This is a chance to get rich!"
Jack excitedly exchanged all his savings for seeds.
He filled his small cart and hurried toward the Northern Province without rest, dreaming of getting rich overnight.
However, when he stepped into Frost Halberd City, he was completely stunned.
