Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 58 Fifty-eight Two Trading Stations (Subscription)

  The lord of Oak Village knew his name, much to the surprise of the fat merchant Adol Overram.

   He happily took a few steps forward and saw the knight's badge attached to Laren at a glance: "Dear Knight of the Kingdom, do you know me?"

  Lyren explained with a smile: "The name of the Overland Chamber of Commerce has already spread all over Midden. I have heard a lot about your deeds when I was an Imperial soldier."

   "Ms. Fortune is here, I really didn't expect that a little bit of my reputation could reach your ears." Adol folded his arms and smiled naively. Because of his stature, he bowed politely.

   "Mr. Atru, please come in."

   "Sir Knight please!"

  The heater in the hall of the longhouse is burning hot, and the constant flow of heat is pouring in, making the indoor temperature more and more comfortable.

The decoration in the hall is very simple, with shields, long swords and the weapon of the oak village lord hanging on the weapon rack on the wall, the Helam warhammer. Grizzly bear head, the knight of the kingdom chopped off the bear head from the beast hunted by the wood elves and used it as a decoration.

The long table in the middle of the hall was full of visiting knights, and the maids of the longhouse kept coming in and out from the lord’s private kitchen. They carried large pieces of roasted meat and whole roasted chickens, and as soon as the barrels of beer came to the table, they drank it. clean.

"I'm liking your territory more and more. It's comfortable, comfortable, and there are not so many troubles!" Claire grabbed the whole lamb chop and the beer in the large mug, pouring it several times. The wheel, the piles of empty wooden plates in front of him, is enough to prove the huge appetite of the White Wolf Knight.

  The knights of the kingdom are slightly better than Kriel, after all, this is his territory, and he takes some personal decency into account.

  Lairn also became more aware that with the growth of his strength, his appetite for food also continued to increase. After swallowing three catties of bread, he was barely half full, and the number of dishes in front of him was comparable to that of the White Wolf Knight.

   A huge roasted boar was brought up by two longhouse guards, causing cheers in the hall.

  The knights sat at the long table and shared the huge roast pig. They were tearing and biting the pork while listening to Lallen tell about the process of building an oak village with Ali for two months.

   "A dwarf craftsman?" Krill tore off a piece of hind leg meat and said vaguely: "They are indeed very reliable, and the forged weapons are much stronger than ordinary blacksmiths."

   "But to earn the respect of the dwarves, as a lord, you have done an excellent job."

When he heard the arrangement of the knights of the kingdom for the blacksmith shop, Krill showed a very satisfied expression. A few dwarves settled in Bray Town. The captain of the White Wolf Knight Company often dealt with them. The weapons of the white wolf knights under him were often Entrust the people of the mountains to forge.

"Maybe, I've been too busy to find my way." Laren smiled, not showing too much emotion: "But then again, Your Excellency Krill, ambushed the army of Baron Jorn. The Beastmen Warband, any news about them now?"

The white wolf knight put down the lamb chops in his hand and shook his head: "Not yet, the Beastmen war gang has not left any trace. Some time ago, there was a scout report that the town of An Orborg in the Baron of Jon was besieged. Knight Milton brought an army of 200 men and rushed to support him from thousands of miles, but he didn't see a single animal hair."

  Lyren remembered the arrogant and arrogant noble father and son, and asked: "So, Baron Yorn himself and Baron's second son Yogg Yorn, how are they?"

"Baron Jorn died in an ambush and was buried with the six hundred soldiers in his territory. At this moment, I'm afraid all the corpses will be eaten up by wild beasts." Krill sneered, he didn't have a good impression of Baron Jorn himself. , said disapprovingly: "As for the kid who didn't know what to do, he slapped his **** and fled back to Ann Oberg Town, with only a few cavalry attendants."

  Lyren and Milton Thane looked at each other tacitly, both of them had a bad feeling.

  The Baron of Yon is also the beastman of the Dracowald Forest, one of the gateways to the human empire. An ambush battle has wiped out most of the living forces, which is not good news for other territories.

"Oh, that's right!" Krill slapped his forehead: "Where is the wood elf army that followed you? My eldest brother sent a letter and wanted to trouble you to contact Jian Er and ask them to leave after the spring. ."

  Lyren asked in surprise: "Contact the Wood Elf through me? What does the Count want to do?"

"My eldest brother wants to build a wood elf trading station in Bray Town, to exchange commerce and exchange goods." Krill drank a large glass of beer, then wiped it with his big hand, and said, "Lauren, you don't know that pointed ears How sought-after their goods are! Especially their handicrafts, which are more expensive than gold!"

"My eldest brother spent 270 gold coins through a big businessman led by Rick a few years ago! A full 270 gold coins! Just to buy a diamond necklace made by wood elves, after buying it, I only attended the Middenheim nobles. I wore it once during a meeting! Usually it's a treasure!"

   "That's outrageous, too." Lallen gasped.

  The price of a string of diamond necklaces is more expensive than the cost of five large waterwheels, and Oak Village can’t afford two strings for a whole year’s income.

"The point is, it's not just crafts that have pointed ears." Krill licked his lips and hummed: "Especially their herbs, weapons, and hunting furs, each of which can sell for big prices! For me, I also want to do everything possible to get involved."

   "Lauren, you must agree! If the trading post can really be built, we will make a lot of money!"

  Clear's hands were only greasy, and he patted Laren's shoulders with both hands, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.

   "Hahaha" The Kingdom Knight laughed dryly and knocked off his shoulders and hands, and did not answer Krill immediately.

   After he changed his clothes, there were only a few maids left in the hall to clean the dining table, and all the knights left the lord's longhouse and wandered around the Oak Village.

  The fat businessman Adol Overlan did not leave. He had something to talk to the Kingdom Knight, and Lailun took him to his private office on the second floor.

   "Mr. Atru, please take a seat." Lailen turned his back to the businessman and opened the window to let in light.

On the large wooden table in the office, a few broken candles have not been thrown away, and stacks of paper manuscripts are placed in the corner of the table. Since the Winter Veil Festival, the time of the Knights of the Kingdom in the office has almost caught up with the time spent in the military camp. training time.

   Spending money like water, no one can afford huge expenses.

  Lyren poured a glass of mead and handed it to the fat merchant, who stood up flattered and took the tin glass with both hands.

  The knight of the kingdom poured himself a glass of liqueur, the two of them clinked the glasses lightly, and sat behind the desk: "Mr. Lauryatru has been bothered by the large amount of goods transported along the way."

   The fat businessman took off his hat and nodded, and said sincerely: "The lord is too famous for the matter within his share."

The    is too gorgeously stacked on the fat body, which looks very incongruous. Every move of the businessman has a strange sense of dissonance and comicality.

  The knight of the kingdom picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "The number of goods is consistent with the list, and it is roughly calculated. I paid half of the gold coins in advance, and the remaining half, my affairs officer Pittman will fetch it for you."

   The fat businessman in front of him was very efficient in his work. In just a dozen days, he had collected all the goods that Lailun wanted, almost not a penny, and there was no need to beat around the bush in the transaction between the refreshing person and the refreshing person.

   "It's my honor to serve you once, my lord!"

  Atru nodded quickly. "I've heard the name of Lord Lallen in other towns, defeated the Beastmen War Gang, killed the Norsca Warlord in the duel, and saved countless people of the Empire. You are a well-deserved hero!"

  Lairn said lightly: "Everyone does their respective duties. Fighting against the Chaos Chaos is the responsibility of the knights, and it is an inescapable burden as a lord."

   "Adults speak well!"

   The fat businessman lifted his **** from the seat, just about to say a few more words of flattery, but was interrupted by the kingdom knight: "You can say nice things at any time, finish talking about what you want to say first."

   "Ok okay."

Adol didn't feel embarrassed at all, tried to sit up straight, put down the wine glass, and said impatiently: "I hope Lord Lailen can allow my chamber of commerce to build a trading post here, as long as it is built, I can assure you , any goods you need in the future can be delivered as soon as possible."

   The fat businessman finished speaking at a stretch without blushing or panting, but Laylen behind the desk did not respond.

  It was too sudden, it was too sudden.

  Atelu Overland mistakenly thought that Laren's silence was a sign of disagreement, and hurriedly said: "As long as you agree to build a trading post, all goods in my chamber of commerce, no matter how much they cost, will be discounted for you at 5%!"

   "50% off?" The Kingdom Knight asked in surprise, his brows and feet twitched unnaturally.

  Adol thought that he could become a knight of the kingdom, but it really wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp.

   As soon as he gritted his teeth, he immediately changed his words: "It's not impossible for a 10% discount."

   "10% off?"

   "Ten percent is not enough?" The fat businessman growled in his heart, his expression impatient.

   This oak village lord's appetite is even more greedy than an ogre! 10% off all goods, and at least 40% of his own profit has been conceded.

   But for a large trade, a trade worth more than 200 gold coins, it will be paid as soon as it is paid, without any delay, such a rich lord, Atelu can’t ask for a wealthy lady every day!

   Since last year, the Chamber of Commerce caravan under his name has been repeatedly attacked, and sometimes the reasons for the attacks are unbelievable.

   Continued losses made his assets shrink rapidly, and he needed a lot of gold coins to fill the loopholes.

   Therefore, Lailun's single trade is a timely rain for Adol, and a long drought brings good rain.

   Thinking about what he saw in Oak Village and the news he heard at the dinner table just now, Adol would never give up his idea.

   He compromised: "Then Lord Lailun thinks it's better to set a discount?"

   After hesitating for a few seconds, Laylen gradually understood the reason why the businessman from Midden Collar had lowered his conditions like a lunatic just now. In a booming territory, almost all fields are in urgent need of a lot of materials, so trade is bound to be needed to solve the problem.

The construction of a trading station in Oak Village is equivalent to seizing the opportunity and winning this growing market ahead of time. Merchants have investment savvy. Large-scale chambers of commerce in major cities in the empire send caravans to open up new business routes every year, just to Seize more markets.

   "It's easy to negotiate the question of how many discounts to set, but building a trading post is no trivial matter." Lailen calculated the bargaining chips in his hand.

   He coughed a few times and said solemnly: "I agree and strongly support the expansion of trade channels! It would be great to be able to create more wealth and make more money, but"

  Laylen glanced at the fat businessman calmly, and the latter said a little anxiously: "Mr. Laylen has any doubts, we can solve it together!"

   and so on is this sentence.

   The knight of the kingdom sighed with a sad expression: "As you can see, Mr. Atru, in order to build this village, I sold almost all my property."

   He started to make up stories, and the whole process can be described as tears and sadness for the listeners. If an ignorant female elf was also present, he would also be moved by Laren.

". Since then, I have vowed to make the people's life better and no longer struggle with starvation, so I bought this batch of ore with the last money, just to give my dwarf friends to forge some weapons and armor, get Go to other towns to sell and relieve stress. Alas."

   After listening to the 'story', Adol "couldn't return to his senses for a long time".

   He couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lailun really loves the people like a son. What he does is really admirable!"

  The lord of Oak Village behind the desk is a wonderful and heart-wrenching story. The fat businessman only heard three words:

"I have no money."

   Building a trading post is not as simple as building a house.

  Atru said with a look of sympathy: "Well, Lord Laren, my chamber of commerce can pay half of the construction of the trading post, and the other half will be paid by you, how about it?"

  He has been in business for more than ten years, and he has been crawling and rolling among the traders countless times. Of course, he is not willing to be slaughtered as a fat sheep.

"Hey. Oak Village is really poor, and the last few gold coins will be used to purchase seeds for spring ploughing. Mr. Yatru, you have also seen that there are so many newly cultivated farmlands outside the village, which will definitely be harvested when the autumn harvest occurs. It's a lot of money!" Lailun said sadly, "Your chamber of commerce has a lot of money, so you must not be short of money."

   "Then my chamber of commerce will charge 10% more. Similarly, whether it is buying or selling commodities in Oak Village, the Overland Chamber of Commerce has the first priority." The fat merchant proposed new conditions.

The    Kingdom Knight shook his head and sighed: "Not enough, not enough."

   He looked up at the sky outside the window. The noon sun had just shifted a little bit. The winter sun shone through the earth and the sky was clear.

Lailun smiled graciously: "Mr. Yatru, I don't think it's getting too early, you'd better get back the remaining half of the gold coins earlier, hurry up and leave Oak Village, there are no taverns or hotels in the village for you to stay. My lord's longhouse can't hold more people."

   "I don't think you want to make do with a night in the stable."

After    finished speaking, Lallen called out the affairs officer Pittman in a loud voice, signaling to see off the guest.

   "Mr. Atru, please come with me."

   Pittman stood outside the office door with a blank face, in no hurry.

  The knight of the kingdom lay on the chair with his hands behind his back, and picked up a stack of papers in an orderly manner.

  Adol Overland is not standing, nor is not standing, he is in an embarrassing dilemma, and the affairs officer outside the door just reminds him again.

   The fat businessman gritted his teeth and confessed: "Lord Lailen, tell me straight, how much did the Overland Chamber of Commerce pay before agreeing to build a trading post?"

"The Overland Chamber of Commerce paid the full cost of building the trade post, including manpower and resources; in the future, all goods sold to Oak Village will be 10% off compared to the outside price. I allow you to choose a trade item to have priority. "

   "As long as you agree to these, the trade post will start construction immediately."

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!
