Maned was born in the merchant family of the Nord mainland.
He, who belongs to the rich class, of course has systematically studied the aristocratic etiquette. After all, his elegant conversation and insightful vision can help these businessmen win the trust of strange aristocrats and partners.
So Manid is more important to etiquette.
Gobble also barely maintained his manners.
Waiting for his stomach to fill, he sighed in satisfaction, but looking at the lord who was waiting for him to finish his food, he immediately took a towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, apologizing: if there is offense, please forgive me for being rude . "
"No." Kant replied with a smile: "You did well."
"Thank you very much." Manid was relieved.
The peasant woman next to him came to quickly clean up the empty wooden bowls on the table. At the same time, wipe the table clean with a wet towel and a dry towel to restore the long table to cleanliness. No oil stars and food debris were found.
Next is the time for Kant to talk to Manid.
This is a business.
After a few chats, the two also talked about natural salt mines.
Manid, who had just returned there, first reported: "This time to the salt mine, 30 dromedary camel brought a total of 180 bags of raw coarse salt. After our processing and refining, we will get 120 bags of the purest fine white salt."
"Well, 120 bags of white salt." Kant nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad."
Just look at this world.
From the sentry oasis to the natural salt mine, the round trip cost is less than 2 large silver coins.
Even if it is processed and purified, and then transported to the Hard Rock Pass where Baron Dylan is located, plus a cavalry serving as a caravan guard, the cost will not exceed 10 large silver coins.
According to the contract with Baron Dylan, he will get 50 large silver coins per bag of white salt.
120 bags of white salt are 6000 large silver coins.
Very horrible numbers.
It is also a terrible profit.
In Kant's hands, these original saline-alkali soils in the depths of the desert were equivalent to natural crude salt that had been given away. After a little processing and purification, the value had turned hundreds or thousands of times. The word horror is extremely appropriate!
"Get ready today."
Kant opened his mouth and pondered a little, then instructed Manid: "Tomorrow we will set off for the Jianshi Pass."
"Understood." Manid nodded.
This is a planned arrangement, and he will know it when he goes to the natural salt mine.
The profit of these white salts is huge.
It can also have such a huge profit, it is inseparable from the big silver coin, which is a shining and lovely thing to measure its value, otherwise it is simply summarized in condiments and luxury goods, at most it is a small stimulating tongue circulated in the noble kitchen Gadgets, rather than high-value, precious goods that can make anyone tempted!
At least from the perspective of Baron Dylan of Hard Rock Pass, he has already tasted this share of profits that he could not refuse at all, and it is obviously impossible to directly reject Kant's demands.
At the price of 50 large silver coins per bag, 300 large silver coins were sold with a change of hands.
A rough estimate is the profit of 250 large silver coins.
If you remove the operating costs of the chamber of commerce, spend the expenses of various lords, and buy road money in the area where some villain gangs are located, you can finally reach Baron Dylan. Each bag of white salt still has 150 large silver coins. profit!
This is a rocky mountain pass where the land is severely desertified in the North County of the Principality of the Lions, which is already in a bad environment.
A barren field with hundreds of acres, no matter how busy the serfs and self-cultivating farmers are, they will not bring him 50 large silver coins in income!
If this place is really rich, the land is fertile.
Similarly, it is not his turn to be a civilian and sensitive Wufu noble.
Kant is sure.
The cooperation between the two sides will become closer and closer.
Before he completely tears his face, Dylan Baron will speak well, and will protect Kant, guard his own stone pass, and control this most important, and the only passage in the Samwaya Mountains. The highly profitable salt trade is completely monopolized in his own hands.
No one will give up such huge and enduring long-term profits, even if both sides have generations of blood feuds, they can sit down and negotiate with a false smile while stabbing secretly.
Moreover, Kant and Baron Dylan have no hatreds themselves.
Within a short time, with such huge profits, the relationship between the two parties can only get better and better.
It will not get worse.
Kant II was a man. He was still a nobleman in this life. After seeing this honeymoon period, or Baron Dylan, he has regarded Kant’s sentry oasis and natural salt mine as his own family business. As long as the strength develops and grows, after a certain accident, it is logical to accept the property of the friend Kant.
A very popular trick among the nobles, but with Chiluo's naked murderous intention and greed, even a false smile on his face, can't cover up the fragile balance line under this honeymoon period.
But the honeymoon period has not passed.
There is no need to worry about tearing the face of both sides. After all, Baron Dylan’s hard rock pass wants to develop to the point where he can conquer the sentry oasis, then Kant’s forces have already destroyed the Principality of the Lion.
With system blessings, Kant is not afraid to fight for the future!
Today's trivia is finished.
The salt-making workshop also burned firewood and began to boil salt, which was purified by the Salander method to obtain the most expensive fine white salt, which could be completed in one night.
To this end, Manid also arranged 20 peasant women and 10 citizens to take charge.
Compared with farmers from rural refugees, these citizens from urban immigrants are obviously much smarter, and they all understand reading and writing, and are qualified technical talents.
Night fell.
The sentry oasis was sprinkled with soft yarn.
But just in the handicraft zone, sugar and salt workshops are still busy.
The sweet sugary smell is mixed with the sour and salty breath, and the smell is quite strange.
Anyone who walks here covers his mouth and nose subconsciously.
The houses close to the residential area here, the doors and windows are also tightly closed, and even the linen is blocked, for fear that these two different flavors will drift into the room, disturbing their sleep and affecting their work tomorrow.
Many houses have been built in residential areas.
During these three weeks, the sentry oasis was booming.
As a house that can live and attract people, the size of 50 has been unable to adapt to the civilian population of thousands.
Therefore, when Kant built barracks, weapon workshops, and prison cells, he successfully built 150 more houses, completely built the residential areas inside the city walls, and formed five main streets, and more small alleys.
The 200 houses can accommodate 2,000 people.
If all are converted into a crowded Chase shop, even 5,000 people can sleep.
Of course, Kant does not need to worry at the moment.
There are enough houses now, 5 people can allocate a building, and there are additional common living rooms and toilets for people to use, even if married with a wife and children, a house of 5 houses, 15 people living without problems.
Good planning in advance can often benefit subsequent development.
Ruling hall.
With Kant as the lead, Fatiz, Manid and James are having dinner together while chatting on some topics, telling jokes to each other, and hearing secret things, and the atmosphere seems happy.
There is no slight depression.
The food is also very sweet and delicious.
Until the end of dinner.
"Hiccup..." A hiccup lightly.
Kant’s satisfied napkin wiped the grease on the corner of his mouth and smiled and said,
The chef’s skill is strengthened. The taste of this fried lamb chops is great, especially the honey and dates, and the sweet and spicy sauce made from spices like."
"It is from the craftsmanship of the citizens."
Manid answered with a smile: "There are tailors, blacksmiths and cooks among them."
"It is much stronger than ordinary farmers." Fatiz also nodded and praised: "I have to admit that the technical work is still suitable for citizens to sit up, and farmers are more suitable for farmland."
James was older and did not speak, but nodded in agreement.
Kant also understands this.
Just like in the mainland of Kaladea, the development of handicraft industry is often driven by citizens~EbookFREE.me~ and farmers are more responsible for agriculture in the countryside.
Citizens who specialize in arts and literacy often accept technical teaching very quickly and complete their tasks perfectly, just like the sugar and salt workshops nowadays, basically let these immigrants come Of citizens took over.
Farmers are solely responsible for agricultural areas and animal husbandry areas.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Hard Rock Pass with Manid before I get back at the end of the month."
Kant spoke up and brought the topic back.
Looking at Fatis and James, his commander-in-chief and the doctor, he said, "When the two of us leave, you will be responsible for the sentry oasis. It is best to deal with any problems carefully."
"Understood." The two nodded.
The four of them talked about some work arrangements to be done next.
"That's it." Kant turned his head to see that the sky was completely dark, and walked towards the stairs.
Tonight needs a good rest.
Departing tomorrow morning at dawn, after at least 3 days of trek, you will reach the Jianshi Pass.
This journey is not short.
"Dinner is delicious." Manid also left, but did not go to bed. Instead, he visited the salt and sugar workshops to ensure that there was no problem before returning to the room on the second floor of the ruling hall.
They are not traveling to Jianshi Pass.
It's trade.
As a full-fledged merchant in the sentry oasis, Maned is naturally impossible.
At the same time, I was already thinking about it. After reaching the Jianshi Pass, after seeing the Baron Dylan and his caravan, I should buy something to ensure the supplies of the sentry oasis.
Although a businessman, he is even a subordinate of Kant.
Everything should be "Drechem".
