Lord of the Oasis Chapter 368: .Kant’s decision making
"Well, just come back."
Kant nodded, looked at Jocelyn with a beaming face, and asked with an unusual smile: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you have encountered something worthy of joy."
"That's right." Jocelyn nodded: "We can maintain long-term trade with the tree people of Fagon Forest!" Before Kant asked, he continued to report: "The elemental gems we had at the time were those Crystal clear blue and yellow gems, I think you know, Lord Kant."
"Of course I know the gems obtained after killing the elemental giant." Kant nodded.
"That's it!"
Jocelyn smiled and said, "Those treants need these elemental gems!"
"Huh?" Kant raised his brows slightly: "This is indeed gratifying news." However, he still asked: "How to calculate the specific value, if I remember correctly, those tree people are actually Don't care about currencies like gold and silver, or have no concept of trade at all?"
"This is not a problem, as long as the most primitive barter is fine."
The corners of Jocelyn's mouth twitched.
For this trade and future trade, he is very confident: "The tree people in the Fagon Forest have all kinds of wild spices that can be exchanged, such as cinnamon bark, black pepper, cumin grains and other expensive spices. Spices are all there!"
"Spice, very good." Kant nodded, this is indeed an expensive luxury.
This can indeed be exchanged.
It's even cheaper for Kant, after all, he doesn't have much thought about those elemental gems.
Although it can be sold.
Just like Pender and Calradia.
Those nobles who are into luxury buy elemental gemstones as pure and flawless sapphires and topaz.
There are not many dinars that can be exchanged. If Kant can exchange it for spices, even if it is 10 elemental gems for 1 sachet of spices, and then sell it to the merchants in the Principality of Lions, in exchange for a lot of golden eagles, it will be a steady profit. Do not pay!
Elemental gems are spice, golden eagle, and dinar in Fagon Forest.
And after this hand-off.
The value has doubled directly!
Spice is worth more than salt because it represents identity.
If there is no spice at the banquet of the nobles, it is equivalent to a miser, and it will not be accepted by the mainstream aristocratic circles, and will even be ridiculed, because the social atmosphere is like this.
As a high-ranking aristocrat, you must have a noble background.
Fine white salt represents this.
Spice that creates a wonderful chemical reaction in the mouth even more so!
It can be said that in the Principality of Lions, even in the human kingdoms, and even in the hands of alien tribes and kingdoms farther away, it can be regarded as a hard currency comparable to gold, a luxury that can be directly purchased with a golden eagle!
The value of spices is great!
"Adult."
Jocelyn said, "The exchange price is really good."
He paused and continued to report: "In the eyes of these tree people, earth element gems and water element gems can bring them a different kind of enjoyment. Just like when we eat, we can obtain supplies that are beneficial to our bodies."
"They are equal to half an elemental creature, which is normal." Kant nodded, not surprised.
"Of course."
Jocelyn nodded: "So their transaction price is, 1 elemental gem can be exchanged for 1 sachet of spice."
"So much?" Kant raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
"Hmmm."
Jocelyn said helplessly: "Of course, this is really a small bag of spices." Then he took out the spices from this transaction in his arms, fist-sized, with a spicy smell: "This is It's 1 sachet of black pepper, picked by the treemen, they're not stupid actually."
1 Elemental Gem is exchanged for 1 sachet of spice, which is indeed not a huge profit.
But Kant doesn't care.
Elemental gems don't do much for him.
But even this small bag of spices, like this black pepper, is definitely worth 10 golden eagles, or 1,000 large silver coins, in the male lion dukedom, which is more expensive than the trade of white salt!
"It just doesn't last."
Kant frowned slightly.
At present, the source of his elemental gems is obtained by relying on those two pages of wonders.
About 7 Earth Elemental Giants and Water Elemental Giants can be summoned every week. Elemental gems can only be obtained after killing these elemental creatures. Occasionally, due to the strength of the sharpshooters, the elemental gems will be severely broken.
This is not without precedent.
Elemental gems are also gems, hard enough but less powerful.
If the sharp and hard cone-pointed arrow is a little deeper, the arrow can easily smash through the elemental gem.
Although it will not be broken into gems and scum, there are traces of fragmentation, which can definitely affect the stability of the internal elements. Even if there is no tree person to inform Kant, you can guess. No one wants broken materials. .
But even so, there are only about 15 elemental gems that can be produced per week.
The exchange rate is 150 golden eagles.
The exchange of dinars is 15,000!
If you change hands, the price of 15 elemental gems has doubled!
It is important to know that it is only sold as a decorative luxury such as a gem, and the price given by the nobles of Calradia and Pande is only 250 dinars for a crystal clear top element gem.
And this kind of crystal clear top element gemstone is not something you can encounter every time.
"15,000 dinars per week."
Kant taps his fingers on the tabletop.
After a little thought, he said to Jocelyn after a while: "Continue to maintain good trade exchanges with the tree people in Fagon Forest. Although the money is small, building a good relationship with them is the most important thing."
"Understood."
Jocelyn nodded.
The current Kant certainly doesn't like 15,000 dinars per week.
If it is only about the salt trade, then his monthly income can reach 150,000+ dinars, which is more than 100,000. Even if it is all filled into town construction, it can be a small half of it. city.
For example, the investment in the city of "Aaron" was only 350,000 dinars.
Although it's small.
But it does count as a city.
Of course, the next step is to have a good relationship with the tree people. If you can hire these tree people, it will be the best. Even if you can't hire them, it's good to get the precious natural springs that these tree people have.
The Sentinel Oasis has been severely damaged, the vegetation has been trampled, and even the date palm trees have been damaged.
It will wither if left unattended.
Can be added to Natural Fountain to revive dead plants.
I have to say that this is the magic of consumption-type strange objects, which is comparable to the power of regularity.
"It's better to stabilize for now."
Kant came to a conclusion.
What is needed now is stability, the means to digest the fruits of victory as soon as possible, and at the same time to speed up the entry into the male lion dukedom. The most important thing is the ancient passage under the city of "Aaron", which should also come in handy.
You can go directly to the Reisniston River and go straight to the main point of the Principality of Lions!
Also on the verge of the Silver Plate Kingdom.
Furthermore, this river also communicates with other human nations.
Strategic!
Kant certainly has ideas for this river, especially after repelling the undead invasion force to the south, he has a deeper idea of the lion principality and the human kingdoms.
Not for territorial occupation, but for dinars.
This is Kant's purpose.
Land is nothing to him, in fact, there is a system and he doesn't need land.
Even the output of the land, the wealth of those nobles, is only a concept for Kant, only the dinar is real, because only this currency can be recognized systematically.
Dinars are required to recruit troops and purchase supplies.
So Kant needs dinars.
The only thing in the world that can be exchanged for dinars on a large scale is gold.
So he needs trade, just like the colonies that appeared on the earth in the past life in modern times, plundering all the economies in the colonies, obtaining a large amount of gold for the main force, that is, Kant, and converting them into dinars.
Only the dinar can strengthen Kant.
So-called soldiers.
So-called supplies.
Actually can be obtained in Dinars in the Chopping World!
This causes Kant to not take the supply of this world seriously. He really regards this world as a colony that can be plundered at will, especially the plundering economy, which is gold!
"By the way, since you're back, let Manid sort out the preparations for the salt trade quickly."
Kant instructed: "Tomorrow, I will set off with him to the central station."
"It should be." Jocelyn shrugged: "Those businessmen in the Principality of Lions, I guess they have to wait."
The undead have blocked the castle "Drehem" for two weeks.
That would be two weeks off the salt trade.
But for those businessmen who depend on Kant for a living, it means that the financial road will be cut off for two weeks. If it lasts for too long, it is estimated that these businessmen who are used to high profits will be furious!
They came all the way to the Naron Desert to make money.
It's fine now.
The salt camels that used to appear every week have disappeared.
Wanting to go deeper into the desert, Rolf, the commander of the local garrison, would never allow them to go in.
If you are not in a hurry, it is absolutely impossible. It is estimated that those businessmen will still unite and try to negotiate with Rolfe. After all, they are not relying solely on themselves, but also represent the nobles behind them!
The Sentinel Oasis has calmed down.
The current "Drehem" castle just needs to be vigilant.
Kant won't bring too many troops to the Central Post.
But there are still high-end arms~IndoMTL.com~ Because going to the central station is not the purpose, he still has to go to the Stone Pass, see the Fatis who has been stationed there for more than 2 months, and send a signal by the way, Let those nobles who want to go further know the benefits of cooperation.
Planning for the Principality of Lions is on the agenda.
Now Kant has enough troops.
The strength is also sufficient.
It is very simple for Kant to annex the lion principality, or to support agents, to completely control the business of this principality, and turn it into a source of continuous production of golden eagles.
Especially the Anzi buried in advance, Borg from East County, he also intends to make contact.
The dark son is for use.
Now.
It's time.
