Lord of the Oasis Chapter 86: .Confirmed trade cooperation
The Lord's Hall.
The pine oil torches for lighting, which were inserted into the walls, were burning with a crackling sound.
The leftover food scraps are still on the table and have not been cleaned up.
The slightly plump butler was sweating coldly, standing next to his master, Baron Dylan's seat, with his head bowed and dumbfounded. He understood that at this time, he should maintain the most humble and respectful attitude.
But no one actually cares about him.
In front of Baron Dylan, the jar of white salt that Kant brought has been placed on the table.
Manid held it up and put it down.
Through the open seal, Baron Dylan could see, in a slightly dim light, the white flowers in the jar, the fine white salt, the finest condiments, the luxury that the nobility could buy, and Those mages who master extraordinary power in the mage tower are the most enthusiastic casting materials.
Slowly reaching out, Baron Dylan grabbed a pinch of white salt and scattered it like an hourglass in front of his eyes: "This is a good thing." His voice was still indifferent and cold, but it also had a few trembling sounds. .
"That's right, Uncle Dylan, as you can see."
Kant sat in the chair with a smile on his lips: "This is the deal I want to make with you."
Baron Dylan did not answer.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and there was a terrifying look in his eyes, just like his attitude when he was fighting for his life on the battlefield, he took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then slowly said: "Kant, what exactly do you mean."
"Long-term trade," Kant said.
Baron Dylan looked up at him, "I ask what you mean."
Feeling the prestige in his eyes, Kant didn't have the slightest wave in his heart, and said calmly: "Uncle Dylan, Auntie's family is a grain merchant in North County, and the trade route, together with South County and East County, I think this is yours. advantage.”
Baron Dylan didn't answer, still looking directly at Kant.
He suddenly realized that the seemingly shy and well-mannered child he had seen before was no longer the Baron Kant sitting opposite him.
"Salt trade." Baron Dylan murmured.
"That's right." Kant nodded.
"A salt mine was discovered in your territory?" Baron Dylan continued to ask.
"Yes." Kant chuckled, without covering it up.
Such a straightforward answer made Baron Dylan silent for a moment before raising his head to look at Kant: "How many cans of this white salt can you give me every week, I need an accurate number."
"10 cans." Kant said: "I promise to have it every week."
Baron Dylan looked at him deeply, and finally nodded: "Okay."
"Pleasant cooperation, Uncle Dylan, I know you are my closest and most trusted uncle."
Kant smiled.
He is a smart man, and although Baron Dylan is a warrior from a commoner background, his low background does not affect his intelligence, whether it is business or political.
To be promoted from a commoner to a knight, and then a baron, is an extravagant hope that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Baron Dylan did just that.
Looking at the baron who was kind to him when he was a child, Kant did not have any turbulence in his heart. He still looked at him sincerely and said, "The only one I can trust is you."
This is the truth, and Kant did not lie.
Baron Dylan squinted, he looked at Kant, and nodded equally blankly: "I am your mother's old deployment."
"I know." Kant nodded.
After coming into this world for so many years, he is not ignorant.
But this stunt has no effect on him now, because his mother died of illness 15 years ago, and the deployment that once brought the lion duchy was also used by the local nobles Pressed into scum.
For example, Baron Dylan, who made an important contribution to saving the victory of the battle, can only be exiled to the desolate and barren Stone Pass to become a baron. If it is a native lion principality, it is estimated that it will be carved out on the fertile plains of Nan County. It is possible to build a village in an area, and the gap between the two is obviously unequal.
That's why Kant came to him.
Born as a commoner, after going through untold hardships, what he finally got was an unequal and barren territory.
No one feels that their efforts are directly proportional to their rewards.
Baron Dylan, of course not reconciled.
Looking at this middle-aged baron, Kant did not show any inner emotions, but said sincerely: "Uncle Dylan, this may be the beginning of our success."
"That's right." Baron Dylan nodded, and he finally faced Kant.
Squinting slightly, he asked in a calm voice: "This trade is worth cooperating with, but I hope to understand the specific details first." After a pause, he stared at Kant and said, "For example, each jar of white salt What's the price?"
"50 large silver coins are 150 large silver coins cheaper than the white salt currently circulating on the market."
Kant spoke, but the answer made Baron Dylan's breath a little heavy.
Subconsciously clenching one hand, Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes, looked into Kant's eyes and continued to say solemnly: "I don't understand your price."
On the market in the Principality of Lions, the price of white salt is 200 large silver coins.
And in exchange for things, it is equivalent to the villages on the barren land in North County, all the fields cultivated by free people and serfs, all add up and are the output of a full three years.
At the beginning, Kant could make the exclusive elite cavalry of the Lion Fort work for 20 large silver coins.
Who can ignore the profit of 150 large silver coins per can of salt now?
Kant raised the corners of his mouth.
But his face is still sincere: "I mean, of course, at the price of 50 large silver coins per jar, selling these white salts to you, my most respected Uncle Dylan."
"This..." Rao is that Baron Dylan was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked and speechless.
10 jars of white salt per week, profit of 150 large silver coins per jar of white salt.
1500 large silver coins a week.
6000 large silver coins per month.
A year is 72,000 large silver coins.
You must know that even if the Lions Principality is the richest in the entire Lions Principality, built on the banks of the River Resniston and under the direct command of the king, the Lionheart City with extremely prosperous trade, the annual tax revenue can only reach 50,000 coins. silver.
In addition to various maintenance fees and personnel expenses, it is not bad to get a net profit of 30,000 large silver coins from these taxes.
But now, Baron Dylan is so easy to get 72,000 large silver coins a year.
Really profitable.
Baron Dylan clenched his fists.
He looked at Kant, the original reason suddenly disappeared at this moment.
Breathing deeply, Baron Dylan smiled: "My most generous little Kant, you know, in my honor and in your mother's name, we will be the best partners."
"Of course, Uncle Dylan." Kant smiled, very sincere.
It's just that in Baron Dylan's eyes, a bit of coldness flashed through ~IndoMTL.com~, but he was forcibly suppressed.
Salt mines in the Narun Desert.
This is indeed a coveted resource.
But he also needs to determine where this resource is and whether it can be completely controlled by him.
Although he is the lord of Stone Pass, Baron Dylan knows his own strength. He belongs to the weakest group of lords in North County, not to mention the wealthy South County and East County, which has stopped communicating. is able to become powerful.
This dinner is coming to an end.
With a smile on his face, Baron Dylan turned his head and glanced at the butler next to him, who was sweating coldly.
Looking at Kant, he also asked: "My dear little Kant, other people should not know about the news of the salt trade?"
"No, no one knows."
Kant nodded and shrugged with a smile: "But Uncle Dylan, after your caravan starts to operate, I think a lot of people will know about it, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble."
"It doesn't matter, it will be resolved." Baron Dylan lowered his head and smiled, his face even brighter.
