"Which territory are you from?" Just as a few people were conversing, a voice of inquiry suddenly came from behind.
Everyone turned and looked back, only to see a richly dressed young man looking at them on a white war horse, with guards and carriages following behind the young man.
"I have met the noble lord!"
"I have met the noble lord!"
Laurie and others were shocked and quickly bowed respectfully and offered their greetings.
"Get up! I heard that you are here to buy salt in the Storm Territory?" This person was naturally Nalant. Such a large group of people passed by outside the castle, and the guards had already informed him of the matter.
Nalant didn't need to think too much. He guessed that they were the team that came to Stormland to buy salt, so he immediately asked Thomas to load the goods into the truck and rushed to Maiye Village.
"Yes, noble sir, we are from the Black Rock Territory and came to the Storm Territory to buy salt!" Laurie did not dare to neglect and answered immediately.
"Well, since we are doing business, there is no need to be nervous. My Storm Territory welcomes you to come and do business!" Nalant smiled warmer and reassured these people.
In any case, these people are the first group to come to Storm Territory, and Nalant needs to make them feel safe and secure in doing business in Storm Territory.
In order to retain the caravan, in addition to sufficient benefits, a stable trading environment is also crucial.
"Yes, noble lord!" Laurie secretly raised his head and took a look at the kind lord. He had never seen any noble lord be so approachable in the past.
"Thomas, this is their first time coming to the Storm Territory, please receive them well!" Next, Nalant stopped participating. He knew that if he continued to stay here, these civilians would probably be trembling with fear.
After the explanation, Nalant simply went to the shade and watched Thomas negotiate with the caravan.
"Ah, it's that gentleman from last time!" When Thomas appeared, Laurie and the other people led by Black Rock seemed to have found a backbone, because they had already had a transaction with Thomas last time, which made them inclined to trust from the bottom of their hearts. Thomas.
"Everyone, I'm glad to see you again. Let me introduce myself again. I am Thomas, the castle steward of the Storm Territory!"
"Nice to see Sir Thomas again!" After hearing Thomas's polite introduction, Bernie and others immediately responded respectfully.
"I'm curious. When you came to buy salt this time, didn't you bring some other goods to the Storm Territory to sell?" Thomas asked with a smile.
"Ah, Lord Thomas, I'm sorry, we came in a hurry and didn't know what the Storm Territory was lacking, so we didn't bring any goods!" Laurie and others immediately looked embarrassed.
In fact, it's not that they don't know what the Storm Territory lacks, but they are worried that the people in the Storm Territory are too poor and cannot afford to buy anything. When the time comes, the goods cannot be sold, and they have to carry them back again, which will be troublesome.
Thomas didn't say anything when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Well, it does make sense, but after the salt sale is completed later, you can go to Maiyechun for a walk, and by the way, you can ask the villagers what they are short of. Wait a moment You can try bringing some with you when you come next time!”
"Although there are only more than a thousand people in the Storm Territory, under the leadership of our Lord Nalant, they are not poor. They even eat meat every day during this period!"
"Ah, eating meat every day?" After hearing Thomas' words, Laurie's team immediately exclaimed. Even commoners like them couldn't eat meat every day. It was hard to believe how the serfs in the Storm Territory did it.
However, looking at Thomas' serious expression, no one had any doubts.
After all, after the transaction is completed, you can get the real answer by walking around Maiye Village for a while.
The fish and meat Nalant gave to the serfs last time was enough to feed them for three or four months.
During this period of time, the serfs not only received a lot of rewards from various tasks arranged by Narant, but they were also looking for sugar cane among the woods and grass. Narant had already given out more than two thousand copper coins.
It can be said that the people of the Storm Territory are now unprecedentedly wealthy, but for the time being they have no channels for consumption, because for their safety, Nalant has banned everyone from going to the Baron of Quinte.
"Okay everyone, you can inquire about it later in the town about bringing goods to Stormland to sell. Let's start trading the salt you need now!"
"As I said last time, since you have come to the Storm Territory, salt is five copper coins per pack, and dried fish is still ten copper coins per catty. I wonder how many catties you need?"
"Sir Thomas, we need 800 bags of salt and 100 kilograms of dried fish this time!" When they came to Storm Territory this time, Laurie and others had a total of seven or eight people in partnership, and they were very determined for this trip. , it can be said that he spent most of his wealth on this big gamble.
"Well, yes! Eight hundred bags of salt and one hundred kilograms of dried fish can be delivered on site. The salt and dried fish are on the carriage. You can check it. If it is confirmed, we will pay and deliver it!" Thomas Nod.
"Thank you, Lord Thomas!" Laurie and others immediately showed gratitude. Before coming, they were a little worried about whether the goods they came to buy this time would be of the same quality as last time.
But if the goods can be inspected now, there is no need to worry at all.
Moreover, this kind of inspection has never happened to other nobles. If you even ask a few more questions, you may be greeted by the fierce looks of the guards.
Laurie and others immediately came to the carriage and looked at the baskets in the carriage. The opened paper packages above were all filled with the same salt as last time without a grain of sand.
"Sir Thomas, salt and dried fish are very good, we just want to buy this!" Laurie said excitedly.
"Very good, then I will arrange for someone to weigh you!"
What happened next was much simpler. Thomas and Laurie watched the salt being weighed and put into the serf baskets brought by Bernie.
While Laurie and Thomas were busy, Kerr kept circling the carriage, his nose twitching, sniffing something.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, Vivian, who was beside the carriage, couldn't stand it anymore and asked, suppressing a smile.
Kerr was startled. He was not nervous when he heard the voice of a woman.
But when he saw Vivian wearing leather armor and carrying a long bow on her back, she immediately recognized that this was the dress of a guard. She couldn't help but replied in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "Master Guard, I...I didn't do anything, I just felt the fragrance! So smell it. smell."
"Scent, are you talking about this brown sugar and black bread?" Vivian stepped forward and opened the lids of the two wooden barrels at the back.
As the lid was opened, the rich aroma of brown sugar immediately wafted out, instantly making Kerr stand on the spot as if under a restraining spell.
