After entering autumn, good news sent to Ten Downing Street was as plentiful as the wheat harvested in the fields.
And today, what the Chairman of the Trade Commission Jenkins spoke about was related to wheat.
"Prime Minister, the Ottoman people have agreed to sell us 190,000 piculs of wheat." Jenkins's face was full of joy, "The price is only 12% above the market price in the Levant."
Due to Joseph halting the export of wheat from North Africa to England, coupled with Russia's war-induced decline in harvest, grain prices in the UK market have remained high for over a year.
Previously, under France's diplomatic suggestion, the Ottomans also raised the price of grain sold to England significantly.
In fact, even without France's suggestion, the Ottoman people were very shrewd, naturally not holding back when it came to selling at high prices.
