Lord of the Oasis

Manid came from a family of merchants in the Nord mainland.

He belongs to the wealthy class, and of course he has systematically studied the etiquette of nobles. After all, his elegant conversation and well-informed vision can help these businessmen win the trust of unfamiliar nobles and partners.

Therefore, Manid's view of etiquette is more important.

Even while gobbling down, he barely maintained his demeanor.

When his stomach was full, he let out a satisfied sigh of relief, but looking at the lord in front of him who was waiting for him to finish his food, he immediately picked up the towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, apologizing: If I have offended you, please forgive my rudeness . "

"No." Kant replied with a smile: "You did a good job."

"Thank you very much." Manid breathed a sigh of relief.

The peasant woman next to her came over and quickly cleaned up the empty wooden bowls and plates on the table. At the same time, she wiped the table with wet and dry towels, so that the long table was clean again, and there were no oil stars and food residues that were contaminated at all.

Next is the time when Kant talks to Manid.

This is business.

After chatting a few more times, the topic of the two also talked about natural salt mines.

Manid, who just came back from there, first reported: "This time I went to the salt mine, and 30 dromedary camels brought back 180 bags of raw coarse salt. After our processing and refining, we will get 120 bags of the purest fine white salt. 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 Stone Pass where Baron Dylan is located, plus cavalry as caravan guards to escort it, the cost will not exceed 10 large silver coins.

According to the contract with Baron Dylan, he will receive 50 large silver coins for each bag of white salt.

120 bags of white salt is 6,000 large silver coins.

Terrible numbers.

It is also a terrible profit.

In Kant's hands, these natural coarse salts, which were originally in the deep saline-alkali land of the desert, were given away for free. After a little processing and purification, the value was multiplied by hundreds or thousands. The word horror is very appropriate!

"Get ready today."

Kant opened his mouth, pondered for a while, and instructed Manid: "Tomorrow we will set off for the Stone Pass."

"Understood." Manid nodded.

This was a planned arrangement, and he knew it when he went to the natural salt mine.

These white salts are extremely profitable.

It is also possible to have such a huge profit. It is inseparable from the bright and lovely things like big silver coins to measure its value. Otherwise, it is simply summed up in condiments and luxury goods. A gadget, not a precious commodity with a high value that can please anyone!

At least from the perspective of Baron Dylan of Stone Pass, he has already tasted the profit sharing that he cannot refuse at all. It is obviously impossible to directly refuse Kant's various demands.

Buy it for 50 big silver coins per bag and sell 300 big silver coins when you change hands.

A rough estimate is the profit of 250 large silver coins.

If the operating costs of the chamber of commerce are removed, the expenses of various lords, and the road money in the area where some thugs and gangs are located, they can finally reach the hands of Baron Dylan, and each bag of white salt still has the pure value of 150 large silver coins. profit!

This is a hard stone pass where the land is severely desertified in Beijun, the Principality of Lions, which has a harsh environment.

A barren field with hundreds of acres of land, no matter how busy those serfs and peasants are for a year, can't bring him 50 big silver coins in income!

If this place is really rich, the land is fertile.

It is also not the case of him, a civilian born and a sensitive warrior noble.

Kant sure.

The cooperation between the two parties will become closer and closer.

Before the face is completely torn,

Baron Dylan can speak very well, and will protect Kant to death, guard the stone pass where he is, control this most important and the only passage in the Sanwaya Mountains, and completely monopolize the hugely profitable salt trade. in his own hands.

No one will give up such huge and continuous long-term profits, even if the two sides have a blood feud for generations, they can sit down and negotiate with a fake smile, and stab the knife in secret.

What's more, Kant and Baron Dylan have no grudges themselves.

In a short period of time, with the blessing of such huge profits, the relationship between the two parties can only get better and better.

rather than getting worse.

Kant II was a human being, and he was from a noble family in this life. He had seen many honeymoons under the entanglement of interests. In other words, Baron Dylan had already regarded Kant's sentry oasis and natural salt mine as his own family business. As long as the strength develops and grows, after an accident, it is logical to accept Kant's friend's family property.

A very popular trick among nobles, but with naked murderous intent and greed, even a fake smile on his face can't cover up the fragile balance line in this honeymoon period.

But the honeymoon period is not over.

There is no need to worry about tearing the face of the two sides. After all, Baron Dylan's Stone Pass wants to develop to the point where he can conquer the sentry oasis, then Kant's troops have already destroyed the Principality of Lions.

With the blessing of the system, Kant is not afraid to fight for the future!

Today's chores are done.

The salt-making workshop also ignited firewood and began to boil the salt, purifying it in the Sarandian method to obtain the most expensive fine white salt, which can be completed in one night.

Manid also arranged for 20 peasant women and 10 citizens to take charge.

Compared with farmers who came from rural refugees, these citizens who immigrated from cities are obviously much smarter, and they all know how to read and write. They are qualified technical talents.

Night falls.

The Sentinel Oasis has been sprinkled with a soft veil.

But in the handicraft area, the sugar and salt workshops are still busy.

The sweet candy smell mixed with the sour brine smell, the smell is quite strange.

Anyone who walks here will cover their mouths and noses subconsciously.

In the houses near the residential area, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and even linen was blocked, for fear that the two different smells would drift into the room, disturb their sleep, and affect their work tomorrow.

Houses in residential areas are now being built a lot.

In the past three weeks, the Sentinel Oasis has been under construction.

As a house that can live in and attract people, the scale of 50 can no longer accommodate the civilians of thousands of people.

Therefore, when Kant built barracks, weapon workshops, and prison cells, he built another 150 houses, completely building the residential areas inside the city walls, forming 5 main streets and more small alleys.

200 houses can fully accommodate a population of 2,000 people.

If they are all converted into crowded Datong shops, even 5,000 people can sleep.

Of course, Kant doesn't need to worry right now.

There are enough houses now, 5 people can be allocated one, and there are additional public living rooms and toilets for people to use. Even if they are married and have a wife and children, there are 5 houses in one house and 15 people can live without any problem.

Excellent planning in advance can often benefit subsequent development.

Administration Hall.

Led by Kant, Fatis, Manid, and James were having dinner together, chatting about some topics, telling jokes to each other, and hearing secret things, and the atmosphere seemed happy.

There is no depressing atmosphere.

The food is also very sweet and delicious, which makes people appetite.

until the end of dinner.

"Hiccup..." He burped softly.

Kant wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with a napkin with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The chef's skill has been strengthened, this fried lamb chops taste great, especially the honey and dates, as well as the sweet and spicy sauce prepared with spices, I am very impressed. like."

"It's the craftsmanship of the citizens."

Manid smiled and replied, "There are tailors, blacksmiths, and cooks among them."

"It's much better than ordinary farmers." Fatis also nodded and praised: "I have to admit that technical work is still suitable for citizens to sit up, and farmers are more suitable for farmland."

James, older, didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.

Kant also understands this.

Just like Calradia, the development of handicrafts is often driven by citizens.

Farmers are more responsible for agriculture in the countryside.

Citizens who specialize in the arts and are literate can often accept technical teachings quickly and complete tasks perfectly, just like the current sugar and salt workshops, which basically let these immigrants come here. citizens took over.

Farmers are solely responsible for agricultural and livestock areas.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Stone Pass with Manid, and we will be back at the end of the month."

Kant opened his mouth and brought the topic back.

Looking at Fatis and James, his commander-in-chief and doctor, he said, "When the two of us leave, the sentry oasis will be taken care of by you. If there is any problem, it is best to handle it carefully."

"Understood." The two nodded.

The four talked about the work arrangements to be done next.

"That's it." Kant turned his head and saw that the sky was completely dark, and walked towards the stairs.

Need a good rest tonight.

Departing at dawn tomorrow morning, it will take at least 3 days of trek to reach the Stone Pass.

The journey is not short.

"Dinner is delicious." Manid also left, but he didn't go to bed. Instead, he inspected the salt and sugar workshops to make sure that there was no problem, and then returned to the room on the second floor of the Consultative Hall with peace of mind.

They're not traveling to Stone Pass.

but to trade.

As the plenipotentiary businessman of Sentinel Oasis, Manid naturally cannot be sloppy.

At the same time, he was already thinking about what he should buy after reaching the Stone Pass and seeing the Baron Dylan and the caravan he belonged to to ensure the supplies of the sentry oasis.

Although he is a businessman, he is also a subordinate of Kant.

Everything must be based on "Drehem".
