Lord of the Oasis Chapter 281: .The pressure to bear

Kant and Manid spent a lot of time together, and he could feel that he was a bit anxious about the future under the tired expression of this genius businessman.

Apparently the trip to Stone Pass was a setback.

After all, Manid is not only responsible for trade cooperation, but also to detect intelligence.

Although he left the Principality of Lions, Kant still had to have a way to understand some domestic information, and the Stone Pass was a good window. Every time Manid would send someone to inquire.

It's absolutely not normal to be so anxious right now.

It is true.

Manid did not hide the slightest, and reported to Kanthui: "Baron Dylan was polite at first, but just before leaving, the news that you announced foreign trade at the Central Post passed, and I was in a very embarrassing situation. , it stands to reason that the usual farewell dinners have been cancelled."

"Well, it can be expected." Kant nodded and rubbed his eyebrows: "But this Uncle Dylan is really small-minded. He has learned so many years of noble self-discipline, and he still looks like a warrior."

"I have no comment on this."

Manid said: "Lord Kant, my proposal for Baron Dylan to purchase feather arrows and crossbow arrows and purchase armaments has been rejected. At the same time, before I left, I received news about the sale of iron tools and food in the Stone Pass. It was also ordered to suspend the transaction by the noble mansion, which may also be aimed at us.”

Kant snorted lightly: "It should be aimed at us, I don't know, apart from the fact that we can purchase large-scale iron tools and grains, the nobles and businessmen in the northern county will be willing to pay more to purchase these in the stone pass. stuff."

The North County Territory is remote, and it is not as prosperous as the South County Territory and the East County Territory.

Even the material output is quite scarce.

Even if there are nobles who want to purchase materials on a large scale, they will send people to Nanjun to purchase materials, including all kinds of iron tools that are indispensable for daily necessities and food that can survive.

As for the sporadic goods, the commoners of the villages and small towns buy them.

The price is naturally high.

But there is no way, this is also the way and way for the nobles of the North County Territory to make money.

It is rare to see such large-scale purchases of iron items as Kant. After all, these materials from the North County Territory are really more than twice as valuable as the South County Territory, which is very uneconomical.

There are many doorways on the trade route, and the unspoken rules are even more complicated.

Not to mention ordinary commoners, even new nobles, if there are no friendly nobles who are responsible for leading the way, if they form a caravan without authorization and enter the business of the Principality of Lions, the final result will not be very good.

Either the robbers end up being destroyed by the caravan, or the caravan is defrauded.

There have been examples of this before.

Even Baron Dylan encountered it.

The unspoken rules formed by the nobles have already controlled everything at present in the Principality of Lions. If outsiders and new nobles want to enter this market, they will be competing with them for jobs, which will of course lead to conflicts of interest.

Baron Dylan suffered a heavy loss early on.

It wasn't until he married the daughter of a big businessman that he stabilized a lot through the relationship of the other's family.

Kant pondered slightly.

Thinking of Baron Dylan's current dependence on the salt trade, he can guess just how frantic he would have been when he announced that the Central Post would be open to foreign trade.

In just 3 months, this Baron Dylan has already tasted huge profits.

Want to give up.

It's a bit difficult.

No, it should be very difficult!

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

Baron Dylan has already tasted the beauty of being able to harvest thousands of large silver coins every month. Thinking about the previous territory's output of less than a thousand large silver coins every year, it is a huge difference between heaven and earth!

There's no way he'd give up the salt trade!

This is also why Baron Dylan, as a warrior nobleman, is willing to withstand the pressure of the Lion Principality while gritting his teeth, so that Kant can support the front-line firepower.

Available now.

Kant's opening up of trade means that he voluntarily gave up the basis for the relationship between the two sides.

It violated the fundamental interests of Baron Dylan!

Since the opening of the salt trade, the solid stone pass has been changing day by day. It relies on the fine white salt produced in the depths of the Nalen Desert. With Baron Dylan as a transit station, it has been resold and has made a huge profit difference. .

This is an important opportunity that was once unimaginable!

The contradiction between the two sides has become bigger and bigger under the tearing of interests.

The end result will never be too good.

Manid understands this.

Kant is equally clear.

He took this into account when he chose to open up the salt trade and set the rules at the central station.

Next, the two must face the increasing pressure, the greedy temptation of the nobles for salt, and even the tyrannical and narrow-minded guy Baron Dylan, secret revenge!

Kant pondered for a moment.

Looking up at Manid: "Next, I will discuss strategic and tactical planning with Fatis."

"As it should be." Manid nodded.

Business is dirty.

Just like politics, everyone has their own ideas, intrigues, and smog.

These words can describe business.

After all, businessmen focus on making money, and they are capitalists. Their ideological consideration is interests. For them, the so-called morality is only a measure of how much money they can make.

A great man on earth once said something like this.

If the capital has 50% profit, it will take risks; if it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample all the laws of the world; if it has 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime , even at the risk of being hanged!

This is true, even in this fantasy world.

Severing money is like killing a parent.

Kant must brace himself to face the pressure from all sides, especially the various bandit gangs that are about to appear, just like cats and dogs that smell fishy, ​​they can't stop running over and biting.

Fortunately, Kant's power is not what it used to be!

Want to bite him.

Prepare to burst your teeth!

Kant and Manid discussed for a long time, and made many suggestions for the next central station.

Mostly about economic exchanges.

With Rolf, the villainous nobleman, suppressing the local area, and three Swadian royal knights with the peak of the great knights stationed there, there must be no major troubles, only some small disturbances.

After all, in the early stage, even if there are nobles to try or retaliate, they are at most an ordinary gang of thieves.

What is the combat effectiveness?

"In that case."

Kant made the final call.

Turn his head to Manid and instructed: "Since the stone pass is unnatural, then we don't need to put a hot face to a cold butt. The salt mine is in our hands, so we have the initiative."

"But in this case..." Manid was stunned and frowned: "Our relationship will break down."

"Break and break."

The corners of Kant's mouth curled slightly: "Politics is not business, there is not so much peace and wealth, only interests are involved and interests are broken, not to mention my Uncle Dylan, when did he really have a caring relationship with us?"

Manid still has a businessman mentality.

What is important is to build a good relationship, but do not see the deepest, mutual compromise between the two sides.

When Kant was weak, Baron Dylan was unable to enter the Naron Desert.

After the win-win phase of mutual benefit, Kant has grown and developed, and Baron Dylan has also been building new buildings. He already has the confidence to enter the desert. Maybe in the near future, or even this year, he can organize a team to go deep into the sentry. Oasis, protect the territory for Kant, and solve the threat of the surrounding gnolls.

Perhaps in a certain battle, Kant, the lord of the Nalen Desert, "leads the way" into the ranks of the gnolls, and died heroically and tragically, worthy of the blood of Cameron, the great lion.

This is a palace drama that can be known by thinking about it.

"Got it."

Manid sighed softly, and also had a deep understanding of the struggles of the nobles.

However, Kant also arranged for him: "I recently opened a secret trade route, going to a place called Fagon Forest, to trade with a group of tree people, I think you can serve as the initial caravan Leader, lead the team to explore the road in the past, and provide a perfect start for us to carry out business exchanges in the future."

"The... Treants of Fagon Forest?"

Manid looked slightly stunned, looking at Kant a little stunned.

He obviously doesn't understand this fantastical race.

Kant explained it simply: "It is a group of ancient trees with souls ~IndoMTL.com~ that can think and act, which is no different from the wisdom of ordinary people, and even the wisdom of some ancient trees is equal to the wise man among human beings."

"Uh..." Manid nodded, accepting the explanation in his heart.

This is the Land of Miracles after all.

This explanation will suffice.

You can encounter anything, even the wilderness jackal can turn into a human-like appearance.

Now this group of ancient trees has wisdom, and it can also accept human-like activities, and even stones and water can become human-like, summoned in thin paper, the so-called water element and soil Warriors of the elements, rampaged in the battlefield, the treemen are not surprised now.

After chatting for a long time, Kant arranged for Manid to rest after having a supplementary breakfast. After all, he returned from a long journey, and the young businessman was still extremely tired.

End of the conversation, Kant went to inspect the city wall.

The construction of the "Drehem" castle is basically complete, but not the end.

Currently on the system, the castle level has come to an end.

It is still a small castle in construction.

Kant can still build city walls and towers, as well as arrow towers to enhance the castle's defense capabilities. After all, the "Drehem" standing in the sentry oasis is the most conspicuous position in the desert, which is equal to the target of public criticism.

It is true, the current sentry oasis has really become the target of public criticism.

The news has spread.

The nobles behind the merchants all began to look at the desert with their minds.

There is malice, there is greed, and there is evil intentions.

There is also a hatred to bite and bite.

For example, Stone Pass.

The already bad-tempered Baron Dylan has become violent.
