"Thank you. Without you, I really don't know how to arrange the supply of salt in the entire kingdom."
The agent of the Salt and Iron Department in the Dragon, Antreqi shook hands with Lant tightly, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down.
"I also want to thank you for providing food and river cargo ships, otherwise I wouldn't be able to transport the salt."
"Haha, you are too polite. Since I have made a salt purchase agreement with you, I have to be responsible for ensuring that your salt is transported and sold."
"What about the caravan?"
"Don't worry, I'll cover it. It's just your salt mine production?"
"Don't worry, it will recover as soon as spring comes."
"Great, Mr. McLaren is right. You are indeed the best nobleman in the Northwest Territories."
As he spoke, Antreq suddenly transformed into an extremely gorgeous crystal bottle. The forearm-long bottle was not only decorated with hollows and paintings, but there was even a small magic circle on the body and bottom of the bottle. The magic source of the magic circle was It's the magic crystal on the mouth of the bottle decorated with crystals.
At this moment, Lant was shocked by the extravagance of the Blue Dragon family. The price of this bottle was beyond the reach of small and medium-sized nobles. I wonder what the value of the purple-red liquid in the bottle is?
"Lord Viscount, this is the Dragon's Nest wine that Mr. McLaren specially asked me to bring. It is produced in the first Dragon's Nest of the Blue Dragon family. There are only a few barrels of wine produced every year.
This fine wine is of great benefit in improving magic power. It has always been specially provided to the legendary masters of the family. Even I would not have had the chance to taste it unless Mr. McLaren personally approved it.
Look at this crystal bottle. The two magic circles are the magic circle that slows down the passage of time and the cooling magic circle. Such magic circles are specially drawn by magicians. "
Antlage poured the wine as he introduced it. Lant took the glass and clinked it with the representative of the Blue Dragon family and Gu Leiya beside him.
"Your Majesty McLaren!"
Gulea drank the wine silently and re-evaluated the preparatory viscount in front of her.
The dragon girl could not have imagined that this Lant had such a flexible business acumen and an abstract and philosophical understanding of some laws of the empire that went beyond specific provisions.
Just now, the two people in front of me took almost 20 minutes to reach a package plan for selling salt, selling salt, and caravans. Not only did Lant actually take over the original production plan and price plan of the Gray Goose Tribe, but he also Manufacturers became distributors.
Lant will not only produce and deliver according to the plan formulated by Gray Goose and Antreq, but also assume the responsibility of transporting salt from the salt mine to Dragon Tooth City.
In exchange, Antrich granted Rand official salt and iron distribution status in the Northwest Territories.
Lant essentially took over Gray Goose's position, and also cleared up Lot's former identity as a private agent.
Seeing the two people in front of her with their arms around each other, Guleiya thought that Lant had just returned from the imperial capital.
"Ah, the pride of our family, the noble pure-blooded dragonborn, Gu Leiya, you have already met her."
"Of course, it was all thanks to Ms. Guleiya that day." Lant thought, otherwise I would really have become a barbarian.
"Of course" Antreqi was thinking, otherwise even the Blue Magpie Castle would be yours now.
"Gulea is still an assistant teacher at our Blue Dragon City Knight School. You will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
"That's great." Lant was very happy to have the opportunity to see Long Niang again. After all, it was so boring to come to a different world and only see people.
“I’ll take care of you in the future.”
"Well..." Gu Leiya didn't want to say much, so she held it in for a long time and said, "The lunch you arranged today is delicious."
“Great, as long as you are satisfied”
. . . . . .
After seeing off the two blue dragons, Lant continued to meet guests.
The Earl left after lunch, and most of the people who arrived with the Earl stayed and planned to chat with Lant before leaving.
As the most noble family in the kingdom, the Blue Dragon family undoubtedly has the highest priority. After seeing the Blue Dragon leave, the remaining nobles can talk to Lant.
For most nobles, the transaction with the original Viscount Lot was only a few horses, a few pairs of armor and less than a hundred pounds of salt. What's more, what they paid was only a deposit, not the full payment.
Now Rand has all the goods in stock, and as long as the full payment is made, all the agreed goods can be taken away immediately.
After one or two rules are set, all that's left is to take the contract and follow the rules.
On this day, Lan had completed the delivery of more than 70 black-scaled horses, more than 50 pairs of iron armor and 100 pairs of leather armor. Naturally, the largest recipient was the Earl's family. The remaining viscounts, barons, and knights all followed Lan. I specially ordered some. As a result, half of the deposit of nearly 20,000 gold coins left by Viscount Roth has been written off. The remaining orders are from customers in the royal capital, and they are all the other deputy leaders of the Maned Wolf Knights. Pulled over.
After sending away the satisfied nobles one after another, Lant was going back to his room to count the gold coins. As a person from the world of commodity economy, Lant had some very pure hobbies.
"Lant, let me introduce you. This is Jeor Mormont, Baron of Wild Bear Ridge." Huck stopped Lant and introduced a nobleman wearing a bearskin coat to Lant.
"Oh, hello, Lord Baron, my father told me before that the matter of Knight Winks Mormont is so regrettable." Lant recalled that the unlucky Baron of Wild Bear Ridge was killed by Gray Goose. The tribe's small force besieged him, his eldest son was killed, and even the baron's life was saved by a high-ranking paladin.
"Hello, Lant... Lord Viscount" Jeor Mormont fought side by side with Harker, and had met Lant earlier. However, Lant has changed greatly now, and shows a different This kind of temperament was completely incompatible with the little border nobility, which made Baron Yexiong Ridge feel a little at a loss.
"Lant, Geo's losses were very heavy this time. Several vassals in his family were killed in the battle." Huck was also looking for words, "We are all nobles in the northwest. Can you help Geo and give him How many suits of armor? Or horses?"
Lant looked at Huck with a very embarrassed smile and thought, "Can't you tell me this in advance? I'll give you a few more horses and a few more sets of armor, so why don't you just let him take them away? Now there are so many people watching, what will others do if I give it to them? If I don’t give it to them, where will you lose face?"
Under the gaze of many subordinates and the attention of several guests, Lant opened his mouth, "I don't think it is Lord Geo's original intention to be given alms by anyone. If, Baron, you want to buy some horses and armor, I can use extreme force to I will lend you a sum of money at a low interest rate. You can use the magic plants produced in your territory as collateral and let the children of your clan go to Dragon Tooth City to do business with our caravan. We will get 50% of the profit from the sale. Until you pay it back.”
"Ah? What do you mean?" Baron Geo felt that Lant promised to give him a batch of equipment and horses, but did he fully agree?
"I think...well" Lant looked at Baron Ye Xiongling, "In this case, I'll go to my accountant to check it out with you. Neil, go ahead and call Makoto!"
When Geo left, he finally understood that Lant had loaned him 3 sets of armor, 5 sets of leather armor and 5 black scale horses at the cost price, and that he would also bring his family with him the next time he did business. Although he now owes Rand 1,600 gold coins, his family's magic plants can be sold directly to Dragon Tooth City, and the profit has increased several times. At the same time, Rand can also sell his family's grain at cost price, so his annual food import expenses have increased. decreased.
"Your Lant is such a good guy," Geo said to Huck as he walked away with a contract.
"Well...yeah, I also think Lant's idea is pretty good," Huck said, while thinking about where Lant came from.
Several magical plants produced in the woods of Yexiong Ridge are the main ingredients in low- and mid-level magic potions. The royal capital has a great demand for such plants, but in the past, Baron Xiongling's family was too sparse to produce them. Independent caravan.
Now that Rand wants Wild Bear Ridge to join his caravan, on the one hand, it can reduce his purchase cost of potions, and on the other hand, it can increase Baron Geo's repayment ability. The Wandering Badger Tribe's "Black Scale Horse Production Cooperation" provides Rand with It was a great inspiration. He wanted to try to see if he could follow a similar path in other noble territories in the northwest.
