Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 216: Visit

Chapter 216 Visiting

Lorist was at the end of the month when he received the news that Princess Sylvia was accompanied by Count Kenmays to visit Boulder Castle. He stayed at Bullhorn Bay shipyard already for about a month. Now the shipyard is not only starting to build three training ships and one survey ship for already. It is also studying the concept of fast cruiser proposed by Lorist.

Grindia Continent now has countries and regions with maritime fleets. The mode of maritime engagement is still the traditional battle. Like the Forde Trade Union strong maritime fleet that Lorist saw when studying in Morante City, their warships are like a The square-shaped city wall is buckled on the hull. When the warships of the two sides are at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the ballista and longbow are used to launch a rocket for a long-range attack, and then slowly move closer to engage in a side-to-side battle to destroy the opposing counterattack forces. The enemy ship ends the battle.

Unfortunately, the black powder test of Lorist ended in failure, otherwise he could at least build the Bronze artillery and start the era of big sail battleships. In the past, as the factory director who made arts and crafts, he was no stranger to the famous sailing battleships in the era of great sailing. He had made more than a dozen models alone, but without artillery, these battleships could only be used as merchant ships in this alien world.

However, Lorist designed a three-masted sailing warship based on long-range attack based on the experience of making models of those sailing battleships in the past, emphasizing fast and flexible. As for the long-range attack method, Chariot Ballista and trebuchet can be installed on the battleship, try their best to avoid side battles, and use kites or monkeys to destroy the enemy skilled personnel is the best naval battle.

"Okay, just build a boat according to my design and try the effect. In the area of ​​long-range attack, if we Norton Family consider ourselves second, I believe no country or family dares to claim first, you must have This self-confidence. After building this warship, we can go to the sea for a drill. At that time it was clear whether this fast cruiser was suitable or not. "Lorist said to those shipbuilding craftsmen around him.

"Yes, Lord(s) ..."

After leaving the shipyard, Lorist returned to Maple Wood Villa and Irina for three days. Teasing my stupid stinky kid, this is no time to return to Boulder Castle.

I haven't taken a bath to wash the dust. Schwartz came in Reported and said Princess Sylvia came to visit. Lorist had no choice but to wash his face and change clothes to meet guests.

Princess Sylvia took a maid with a look of anger, and at the sight of Lorist, he complained a lot. After listening to Lorist for a long time, it quickly understood the reason for the matter, mainly because the negotiations between Princess Sylvia and Charade were deadlocked. Princess Sylvia thought that the ransom of Legion and soldier(s), a border defense proposed by Charade, was a ridiculous price of three cows. It was a lion's mouth.

Lorist smiled mildly: "No matter how you say, Your Highness Princess is coming here. As a Lord(s), you have to read to the beautiful Princess His Highness; so be it. A ransom for a border guard soldier(s) is a cow, Squad Leader is ten Head, Mid Captain(s) is a hundred heads, Great Captain is a thousand heads. As for Chris Dorf Viscount, you take care of it. Is this okay? "

This face is really big enough, almost two-thirds the price. Princess Sylvia watched Lorist suddenly flushed, lowered his head and said shyly, "Thank you, Locke Big Brother ..."

Lorist didn't feel any kind. He was talking to Charade for a long time, one sings white face and one sings red face. Finally, give Grand Duke Fisablen a face and let him owe Norton Family a favor. Now it is better that Princess Sylvia comes in person, this person sells enough. As for Princess Sylvia, he called him Locke Big Brother. It wasn't strange that she was called all the way when she was escorted back.

Lorist is anxious to send away Princess Sylvia. Go back to take a bath and go to Miss Tristy to see your daughter. Once I go there for more than a month, I feel really worried about it. Lorist has no meaning for children of Princess Sylvia. Although Princess Sylvia is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, or the goddess in Count Kenmays's mind, but Lorist is a man, regardless of his psychological age, his current identity alone is eight years older than Princess Sylvia. In his mind, Princess Sylvia is considered a very Cute and lively girl next door.

But Princess Sylvia talked about the price of the ransom and did not leave. Instead, he pulled on for a long time. Lorist was a little impatient, and asked with a smile: "His Highness Princess. Is there anything else you can do? Just tell me, if I can help, I will do my best."

Princess Sylvia just breathed a sigh of relief: "Locke Big Brother. Actually, I'm not here for ransom, but I also want to ask if you can sell a batch of weapons and equipment to the border guard Legion?"

"Yeah?" Lorist hesitated, but this request from Princess Sylvia was unexpected. He pondered for a moment and looked up at Princess Sylvia: "As a friend, I hope you can tell me why I came to our family to buy weapons and equipment ..."

Princess Sylvia's face looked very grieved: "The original weapons and equipment required for border defense Legion were provided by Iberia Kingdom for free. My grandfather and His Majesty King signed an agreement. One-third of all the two iron ore produced by Iberia Kingdom were produced. The output will be forged to the frontier defense Legion after being forged into iron armored weapons by the ordnance manufacturing company controlled by His Majesty King.

But I did not expect that Your Majesty King returned to Wangdu last time after being defeated by your Norton Family at Northern Land, and even leased the two iron ore related to the national lifeline of Iberia Kingdom to Vysia Chamber of Commerce for 30 years. In this way, Vysia Chamber of Commerce Although they acknowledged the agreement signed between my grandfather and His Majesty King, they are willing to provide only one-third of the iron ore output, not forged weapons and equipment, because this is not clearly written in the agreement ...

When I came to your family, Vysia Chamber of Commerce just sent us notice, saying that it would take two years to replace all mining equipment, so they were willing to use gold fordes to compensate us for the loss. But what we need is not gold coin(s), but weapons and equipment.

The main enemy of frontier Legion soldiers is the savage captives riding on the prairie in the Northeast. Although the weapons and equipment provided by Wang * Machinery Manufacturing were of poor quality and serious loss, after all, the supplement was still up. But now that the iron ore is missing and these weapons and equipment are not supplemented, the soldiers of the border defense Legion will be armed with broken blades to face the fierce savage captives after a few small-scale battles.

So Locke Big Brother. Please see that the frontier corps, like your Norton Family, is helping the frontier for the former Empire and helping out. Sell ​​weapons and equipment produced by your family to the frontier corps. Fisablen Family and frontier Legion soldiers will remember this friendship of Norton Family ... "

"Vysia Chamber of Commerce?" Lorist did not answer the question of whether Princess Sylvia sells weapons or equipment. Instead, she focused on what she called Vysia Chamber of Commerce: "Strange, why did Vysia Chamber of Commerce reach out to Iberia Kingdom?"

"Locke Big Brother, do you know Vysia Chamber of Commerce? By the way, you said that when you were young, you studied at Morante City, you should know this Vysia Chamber of Commerce well?" Princess Sylvia's ears were sharp and I heard Lorist talking to herself.

Lorist nodded: "Yes, I have heard of Vysia Chamber of Commerce, but I do n’t know much about it. Although I have been in Morante City for ten years. But Vysia Chamber of Commerce is one of the seven Chamber of Commerce of Forde Trade Union, ranking in the top three reads ;. Such a Chamber of Commerce giant stands high, and has nothing to do with the Mercenary we ate at Morante City at the time. However, Vysia Chamber of Commerce is the most famous major producer of fine weapons and equipment.

You know Michelle Steel Mail, known as the world's first defense force, produced by the Kingdom of Temunda, but the sale rights of more than 20 sets of Michelle Steel Mail are produced in Vysia Chamber of Commerce In the hands. It can be said that Vysia Chamber of Commerce is the largest weapon and equipment manufacturer of Grindia Continent ... "

"No wonder ..." Princess Sylvia suddenly realized: "Our family Knight(s) was angry when we received notice from Vysia Chamber of Commerce to replace the mining equipment. We think that Vysia Chamber of Commerce is deceiving us and asking them to send lessons. But my grandpa shook his head with a grin. Rejected their request, and only said that Vysia Chamber of Commerce is one of the seven giants of Forde Trade Union, which is not easy to mess with. Once they turn their faces, they are afraid that the business of the two provinces of Eastwild and Muyeyuan Province will be cut off, which will have a great impact on people's livelihood ... "

Lorist smiled, don't look at Grand Duke Fisablen sitting in two provinces, a border guard of Legion with more than 70,000 people, but the real strength may not even be as good as Kenmays Family. No minerals. Even if you want to grow grain, you must first invest a large amount of money for water conservancy construction. It is said that even an earthen pot needs to be brought in by an external merchant, and the product is cattle and sheep. fur and dairy products.

The Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce already hosted by Count Kenmays now not only sells snow salt, they also wholesale a large number of daily life groceries from Norton Family. The dumping place is the Eastwild province and Muyeyuan Province controlled by Grand Duke Fisablen. Don't look at the trivial and groceries of these daily necessities. In a year, even Norton Family with only 10% profit share in Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce can earn an additional two or three thousand gold fordes.

If it is not Grand Duke Fisablen as a third-level Great Sword Master, with great strength, and a subtle defensive frontier Legion with a strong reputation, then Iberia Kingdom would not be established at all. From Lorist's point of view, it is actually the easiest to deal with Grand Duke Fisablen. As long as the borders of the two provinces within Iberia Kingdom are blocked and commercial activities are strictly prohibited, the border defense Legion will not collapse without war within two or three years.

"Locke Big Brother, you haven't said whether to sell weapons and equipment to our family ..." Princess Sylvia urged.

"Selling is possible, but I worry that your family can't afford it ..." Lorist smiled bitterly.

"Our family has money, hundreds of thousands of gold fordes can still come together." Princess Sylvia was very unconvinced.

Lorist shook his head: "It's not that I look down on these hundreds of thousands of gold fordes. The problem is that gold coin(s) may not be fully equipped with even a corps ..."

"Ah? Is it so expensive?" Princess Sylvia was a little dazed.

"This is not an expensive issue, but it's worth the price. Your Highness Princess, you don't know much about weapons and equipment. So, I will have a banquet tomorrow at noon, and welcome His Highness Princess Come to Boulder Castle. After the banquet, I will put out all the equipment styles for sale for your family to choose. With the presence of Chris Dorf Viscount, you do not need to worry about our intentionally raising the price, he is an expert. "Lorist said.

"Sorry, Locke Big Brother, I really don't have much research on weapons and equipment. I just forgave you for not offending me. Then I will leave first, and see you tomorrow." Princess Sylvia lowered his head.

"It's okay, don't worry about this. See you tomorrow." Lorist waved his hand a lot.

Princess Sylvia took a few steps after turning salute and turned around again: "Thank you, Locke Big Brother. You are a good person ..."

"Well?" Lorist is inexplicable, why suddenly send yourself a good card?

The next day, after the grand welcoming banquet, Lorist welcomed the Princess Sylvia party to the second floor lobby with various armors and weapons on the wall.

"Princess Sylvia, Sandy Great Sword Master, Chris Dorf Viscount, the styles of armor and weapons that our family can sell are listed here, but you can choose. However, the prices listed below are all our internal prices. Sold to us Allies. If you buy from our family, the price will increase by 20%. This already is very favorable. "Lorist bluntly reads ;.

"Ah! One hundred gold fordes sets, isn't this the standard equipment of the Count Kenmays family armed forces?" Princess Sylvia was very surprised. She passed Kenmays Family Territory this time and was very impressed by Kenmays Family armed forces wearing silver glittering armor. At that time, she only thought it was good-looking, but she did not expect that the equipment would be so expensive.

Count Kenmays nodded: "Yes, my Princess, this is indeed standard equipment of our family armed forces. I also bought it from Locke at this price."

"Uncle Kerry, you said before that the iron armor provided by His Majesty King was worth about ten gold fordes. Why are these weapons and equipment sold by Norton Family so expensive?" Princess Sylvia is very depressed, so it really looks like Lorist said Hundreds of thousands of gold fordes in the family are not even equipped with a corps.

Chris Dorf Viscount wry smile. He is a discerning person, and naturally distinguishes the quality of these weapons and equipment: "His Highness Princess, Count Norton. Each set of armor here is a fine product, with excellent quality and strong defense. Previously, the iron armor provided by Her Majesty King to the border defense Legion and these ratio It looks like garbage. Let's put it this way, the defense of that iron armor is a little better than the leather armor made by our family. An soldier(s) is easy to wear one year. And the armor here is far from any aspect. It goes beyond that type of iron armor. If you take good care of it, you can even pass it on to your children and grandchildren. It ’s enough to be a heirloom. "

Sandy Great Sword Master also nodded in agreement with the words of Chris Dorf Viscount.

"But our family doesn't have so many gold coin(s) ..." Princess Sylvia hesitated.

"Look at this standard equipment." Lorist led everyone in time to a simple-form standard armor: "This set of armor was originally prepared for scout light cavalry. There are supporting throwing weapons , Long sword and spear. It is very suitable for the ranger equipment of your family's frontier defense Legion. The price is only sixty-five gold fordes, regardless of the lowest price of the armor here. In fact, its defensive ability is also very good. Empire's famous White Lion Legion standard armor is also only 20% less defensive. I think this should be enough for the soldiers of the border guard Legion to deal with grass brutal rides. If your gold coin(s) is not enough, I have another Suggestion, you can use cattle and sheep to compensate. Your Highness Princess, what do you think? "

"Very good, just use cattle and sheep to compensate. If the quantity is not enough, I can take soldiers to rob some of them on the Northeast Prairie." Chris Dorf Viscount was very excited, and did not wait for Princess Sylvia to speak. .

Three days later, the agreed Princess Sylvia embarked on a return journey in the escorts of Sandy Great Sword Master and Chris Dorf Viscount and the 3,000 front guards Legion soldier(s) who were released first. The remaining 12,000 prisoners of war will be equipped with standard equipment purchased from Norton Family when the cattle and sheep are delivered, and then returned in batches.

"Our day, Locke, can you be crazy?" Charade is very rare and rude: "Fisablen Family goes crazy, and you go crazy, they even want 100,000 sets of standard equipment. You promised, even the captive's ransom. In total, there are nearly two million cattle and sheep. Is this possible? Neither of their provinces add up so many cattle and sheep ... "

"Chris Dorf Viscount said that he would take the soldiers to the grassland tribe on the northeast prairie to grab cattle and sheep." Lorist said lazily.

"Uh ..." Charade stunned, he didn't expect that Fissab had this trick on the family: "Even if we grab it back, how can we have so many cattle and sheep to graze!"

"Well, it's okay. The agreement stipulates that it will be five years, and more than 400,000 heads a year. Keep tens of thousands of heads a year. The remaining half is slaughtered for jerky, and the other half is sold in the family Territory. It should be consumed soon, after all, our family is now nearly 800,000 people, and the demand for fresh beef and mutton is great. As for the grazing population, I have also discussed with them, and they will provide us a thousand A herdsman with more than 5,000 households, one household arrived at ten cattle. By then, setting up a town in the western part of Northern Land will arrange for these herdsmen to live, and it should be enough for them to graze four or five million heads of cattle and sheep.

What Lorist said makes sense, Charade has nothing to say and turns away.

"Go out and close the door. I'll slap it first. I'm exhausted." Lorist rested his feet on the desk, and was ready to take a nap on the chair like this.

"Bang !!!" ...
