Lord of the Oasis Chapter 116: .The idea of the slave team
For Kant, gnoll captives worth 30 dinars per person are the fastest way to obtain dinars, because as long as he wants, there are countless The gnoll tribe awaits his visit.
That's why he's never worried about the lack of dinars since he discovered that gnolls could be sold as captives.
"It is my honor to be able to solve your troubles for you."
With a smile on his face, the caravan leader bowed his head in compliment.
Gnoll captives are the most popular commodity in the Kingdom of Vikia, and are deeply loved by the snow mine owners. Although they eat more, most of them seem to be honest and hardworking. A gnoll can top 5 individual human miners.
This is an excellent value for money.
So he entrusted the peasants who were servants in the Consulate to help call a certain guard from his caravan.
Soon, the door to the Consulate was opened.
Wearing a linen robe, a very capable, yet young man walked in.
He bowed respectfully at the table and stroked his chest, and said with a very solemn etiquette: "Good afternoon, the great Lord Kant, Mr. Manid, Uncle Jocelyn."
"Hello." Kant and Manid nodded in response.
However, Kant also chuckled lightly and said with a little self-deprecating manner: "But I only know now that your name is Jocelyn." He looked at the caravan leader with a helpless tone: "I always like to call you Caravan leader."
"It's really my profession, and I love it," Jocelyn replied with a smile.
His answer was clever and didn't embarrass Kant.
After all, he knew so much about riding and chopping in his previous life that Kant directly liked to use game and professional terms to call Jocelyn, and he also attributed the caravan leader to others.
It's not wrong to say that, the current caravan leader is indeed the only Jocelyn.
"So."
Jocelyn instructed the young man he admired the most: "You can count the number of prisoners, feed these new prisoners some food and water by the way, and when there are 500 people, I will let you personally lead the team back to Zhivadin. "
"You won't be disappointed, Uncle Jocelyn." The young man was instantly delighted.
"Come on." Jocelyn waved.
"Yes." The young guard immediately bowed and saluted respectfully, then turned to leave, looking at his beaming appearance, he knew that he was very enthusiastic about being able to lead the team back to Zivadin in person.
"Your nephew?"
When he left, Manid smiled and said, "Looks a little young."
"Yeah, I'm 17 years old, and I'm still so easily excited." The caravan leader nodded helplessly, he naturally understood the meaning of Manid's painting, and sighed: "Let him try it this time, at least The caravan from the Land of Miracles has the reputation of Lord Kant, and there is no robber gang on Calradia who dares to rob, so let him be a test."
"It's always good for young people to exercise more." Kant nodded.
Although his own age is only 16 years old, he has lived as a human being in two lifetimes, and the combined years of his life are already over 40 years old.
"I think so too." Joyce nodded and sighed softly with some emotion: "He is the son of my former comrade-in-arms, but my comrade-in-arms died in the war with the Kujits and was dying. He wanted me to help take care of his son, but it's not bad, he is proficient in horsemanship and swordsmanship, and he has inherited his father's prowess."
"A brave father must have no cowardly son." Kant nodded comfortably.
The atmosphere in the Consular Hall was somewhat solemn.
Manid, apparently aware, diverted the conversation to business.
As the best young generation of the Nord merchant family, his ability to control the field between conversations is absolutely no problem.
The atmosphere is restored.
Soon, the young man is back.
Still bowed respectfully, and reported to Kant and Joslin Hui: "This time, there are 322 gnolls captured at the price of 30 dinars each, and the total value is 9660 dinars."
"Nearly 10,000 dinars?" Kant raised his brows a little. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked.
This time he went to the salt mine to hunt down the slaughtering gnolls. Although most of them were in small groups, there were also thousands of them in total.
Thinking about it now, it was a gnoll that I killed.
It is clearly worth 30,000 to 40,000 dinars, and it is worthless after being slaughtered and thrown into the desert!
Shaking his head slightly, Kant's heart swept across the gnolls in the Sanwaya Mountains, and he couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth: "It seems that in the future, a special slave hunting team will really be set up."
Manid nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea."
"Yeah." Kant frowned, this idea may really be implemented.
You must know that the current sentry oasis is quite barren, and the only commodity that can be mass-produced is probably only salt.
But although salt is a valuable material, Kant is also aware of its rules and constraints.
The system does not accept materials produced in this world at all. In the end, these salts can only be traded with merchants in this world, and can be converted into silver coins at most, becoming the capital for Kant to quickly establish a business circle with the sentry oasis as his heart.
According to the ideas of Kant and Manid, the most is to wait for the world's economic development to be sufficient, and use silver coins to start purchasing gold that can be exchanged for dinars, but this is not only troublesome, but also easy to make the already perfect financial industry. The turmoil, which in turn affects the business circle established by Kant in this world, can have a very significant impact.
Business is measured.
The large-scale exchange of silver coins for gold will eventually only lead to an increase in the price of gold.
The rise of gold will also affect other business activities, such as economic exchanges between countries, large commercial transactions, and then destroy the entire chain of business structures from top to bottom.
In the ancient times when there was no business concept, the collapse of the business structure chain could have serious consequences.
"Manid, remember this slave team's plan."
Kant turned his head, looked at his most trusted Nord business genius and said, "Maybe we should also discuss with Fatis at night. I think this plan is feasible."
"I agree." Manid nodded.
At this time, Jocelyn, the caravan leader, has also counted the number of prisoners and the dinars that should be paid.
After hesitating slightly, he turned his head and reported to Kanthui: "Lord Kant, you have captured 442 gnolls so far. If you can capture 58 more gnolls, then King Yarogerk's entrustment will be fulfilled. ."
"There are still 58 people?" Kant nodded, frowning slightly: "This is very simple."
A special mission arranged by King Yarogerk of Vicia, the final reward is 5 points of honor.
Kant covets this.
5 points of honor represented 5 chances to draw a lottery, and he would never let it go.
Lightly tapping his fingers on the table, Kant said solemnly: "Come here, send orders to Fatis, and lead the Swadian heavy cavalry to patrol around the oasis, and win more captive gnolls to come back."
"As ordered."
A guard is standing at the door, and the Swadian infantry guards answer immediately.
Since they are guards, they are also messengers.
Directly pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked outside, Kant's order was conveyed and implemented.
Just behind the sand dunes not far from the sentry oasis, there are a large number of gnolls lurking. Although some of them have been expelled and chased before, there are still residual leaks. These are the targets that Kant arranged to capture.
Although Swadian heavy cavalry fights deep into the desert, they are not as effective as Sarandian riders.
But at close range, these land tanks still work great.
What's more, they are led by Fatis. It will not take too long to complete the task. Maybe at dinner tonight, they will be able to capture a large number of gnolls. The hostile elements, other gnolls who are already starving, will definitely choose to surrender, it is really simple.
Kant pondered slightly.
The current deposit balance is realistic on his retina.
【Deposit: 15614 Dinars】
Desert Bandits' upgrade costs and canal construction costs have been taken into account.
But selling the gnoll captives twice, plus the previous balance, still made Kant's deposit soar to nearly 10,000. Basically, this month's fortress construction and troop expenses have been secured.
"Sir, we're going out for now."
Caravan leader Joyce bows and leaves the Consulate with his nephew.
The caravan is being deployed in the grocery store, and there are still important things to deal with, especially with so many prisoners, Joyce can't worry about letting his subordinates do it.
"Okay." Kant nodded to indicate that he knew.
Only he and Manid remain in the Consulate.
Frowning slightly, Kant raised his head and arranged to Manid next to him: "In this case, you will arrange for some peasants and peasant women tonight to boil the white salt as soon as possible, and tomorrow morning, you can set off." /
"Understood ~IndoMTL.com~ Manid nodded.
"There is also a post station." Kant frowned slightly and said to Manid: "Bring 7 Swadian light infantry and 10 desert robbers to station there. If the Stone Pass side wants to open a trade route, Just tell them that our trading post is that, if we continue to go deeper, it is the exclusive property of the baron, and it is a private domain that is not open to the public.”
"Understood." Manid still nodded, these were the plans they had negotiated.
Kant was still a little worried when he knocked on the table.
He raised his head and exhorted Manid: "Put more charcoal when cooking salt to absorb those impurities. I don't want my salt to be full of bitterness, except those serfs who have never eaten salt like it, but become nobles instead. The joke we hate."
"Please rest assured." Manid solemnly assured: "This will not happen."
