Lord of the Oasis

Kant and Manid have been together for a long time, and he can feel that he is a bit anxious about the future under the tired expression of this genius businessman.

Apparently the trip to Stone Pass was a setback.

After all, Manid is not only responsible for trade cooperation, but also to detect intelligence.

Although he left the Principality of Lions, Kant still had to have a way to understand some domestic information, and the Stone Pass was a good window, and Manid would send someone to inquire about it every time.

It's absolutely not normal to be so anxious now.

This is indeed the case.

Manid did not hide anything, and reported to Kanthui: "Baron Dylan was polite at first, but just before leaving, you announced the news of foreign trade at the Central Post, and I was in a very embarrassing situation. It stands to reason that The usual farewell dinners have been cancelled."

"Well, it can be expected." Kant nodded and rubbed his eyebrows: "But this Uncle Dylan is really small, and he has learned so many years of noble self-cultivation, still like a warrior."

"I don't comment on that."

Manid said: "Lord Kant, my proposal for Baron Dylan to purchase feather arrows and crossbow arrows and purchase armaments was rejected. At the same time, I got news before I left that the sale of iron tools and food in the Stone Pass was also rejected by the nobles. The order in the mansion to suspend trading may also be directed at us."

Kant snorted lightly: "It should be aimed at us. I don't know, apart from the fact that we can purchase large-scale ironware and food, the nobles and businessmen in the North County Territory will be willing to pay more to purchase these things in the Stone Pass."

The North County Territory is in a remote location, and it is not as prosperous as the South County Territory and the East County Territory.

Even the material output is quite scarce.

Even if there are nobles who want to purchase materials on a large scale, they will send people to Nanjun to purchase materials, including all kinds of iron tools that are indispensable for daily necessities and food that can survive.

As for sporadic commodities, they are purchased by commoners in villages and small towns.

The price is naturally high.

But there is no way, this is also the way and way for the nobles of the North County Territory to make money.

It is rare to see such a large-scale purchase of iron items as Kant. After all, these materials from the North County Territory are really more than twice as valuable as the South County Territory, which is very uneconomical.

There are many doorways on the trade route, and the unspoken rules are even more complicated.

Not to mention ordinary civilians, even new nobles, if there are no friendly nobles who are responsible for leading the way, if they form a caravan without authorization and invest in the business of the Principality of Lions, the final result will not be very good.

Either the robbers end up being destroyed by the caravan, or the caravan is defrauded.

There have been examples of this before.

Even Baron Dylan had encountered it before.

The unspoken rules formed by the nobles have already controlled everything at present in the Principality of the Lions. If outsiders and new nobles want to enter this market, then they will be competing with them for jobs, which will of course lead to conflicts of interest.

Baron Dylan suffered heavy losses in the early stage.

It was not until he married the daughter of a big businessman that he stabilized a lot through the relationship of the other's family.

Kant pondered a little.

Thinking of Baron Dylan's current dependence on the salt trade, he could guess how frantic he would be when he announced that the Central Post would be able to do foreign trade.

But for three months, Baron Dylan has already tasted huge profits.

want to give up.

Kind of hard.

No, it should be said that it is very difficult!

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

Baron Dylan has already tasted the beauty of being able to harvest thousands of large silver coins every month. Considering that the territory used to produce less than a thousand large silver coins every year, it is a huge difference between heaven and earth!

It is impossible for him to give up the salt trade!

This is also why Baron Dylan, as a warrior nobleman, is willing to withstand the pressure of the Lion Principality while gritting his teeth, so as to support Kant's front-line firepower.

But now.

When Kant opened up trade, he voluntarily gave up the basis for the relationship between the two sides.

It violated the fundamental interests of Baron Dylan!

Since the opening of the salt trade at the Stone Pass,

The ever-changing changes depend on the fine white salt produced in the depths of the Nalen Desert. With the help of Baron Dylan as a transit station, they are resold and re-sold, earning a huge profit margin.

Thereby obtaining an important opportunity that was once unimaginable!

The contradiction between the two sides has become bigger and bigger under the tearing of interests.

The end result will definitely not be too good.

Manid understands this.

Kant is equally clear.

This was taken into account when he chose to open up the salt trade and set the rules at the central station.

Next, the two must face the increasing pressure, the greedy temptations of the nobles for salt, and even the tyrannical and narrow-minded guy Baron Dylan, secret revenge!

Kant pondered for a moment.

Looking up at Manid: "Next, I will discuss strategic and tactical planning with Fatis."

"As it should be." Manid nodded.

Business is dirty.

Just like politics, everyone has their own ideas, intrigues and deceives, and there is no smoke.

These words can describe business.

After all, businessmen are mainly making money, and they are capitalists. They think about interests. For them, the so-called morality is just a measure of how much money they can make.

There was once a great man on earth who said something like this.

If the capital has a 50% profit, it will take risks; if it has a 100% profit, it will dare to trample all the laws of the world; if it has a 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even taking risks. Danger of being hanged!

This is true, even in this fantasy world.

Cutting people's money is like killing one's parents.

Kant must brace up to face the pressure from all sides, especially the various gangs of bandits that are about to appear, just like cats and dogs that smell fishy, ​​they can't stop running over and biting.

Fortunately, Kant's power has changed from what it used to be!

Want to bite him.

Get ready to burst your teeth!

Kant and Manid discussed for a long time, and made a lot of suggestions for the next central station.

Mostly about economic exchanges.

With Rolf, the villainous nobleman, suppressing the local area, and three Swadian royal knights with the peak of the great knights stationed there, there must be no major troubles, only some small disturbances.

After all, in the early stage, even if there are nobles to test or retaliate, they are at most an ordinary gang of thieves.

How about the combat power.

"In this case."

Kant finally made the final decision.

Turning his head and instructing Manid: "Since the performance of the stone pass is unnatural, then we don't need to have a hot face to stick a cold butt. The salt mine is in our hands, so we have the initiative."

"But in this case..." Manid was stunned and frowned: "Our relationship will break down."

"Break and break."

The corners of Kant's mouth curled slightly: "Politics is not business, there is not so much peace and prosperity, only interests are involved and interests are broken, not to mention my Uncle Dylan, when did he really have a caring relationship with us?"

Manid still has a businessman mentality.

The point is to build a good relationship, but not to see the deepest, mutual compromise between the two sides.

Back then, when Kant was weak, Baron Dylan was unable to enter the Naron Desert.

After the win-win stage of mutual benefit, Kant has grown and developed, and Baron Dylan has also been building new buildings. He already has the confidence to enter the desert. Perhaps in the near future, or even this year, he will be able to organize a team to go deep into the sentry oasis and replace it. Kant protects the territory and addresses the surrounding gnoll threat.

Perhaps in a certain battle, Kant, the lord of the Naron Desert, "leads the way" into the ranks of the gnolls, and died heroically and tragically, worthy of the blood of Cameron, the lion.

This is a palace drama that you can know if you think about it.

"Understood."

Manid sighed softly, and also had a profound understanding of the struggles of the nobles.

However, Kant also arranged for him: "I recently opened a secret trade route, which is to go to a place called Fagon Forest to trade with a group of tree people. I think you can serve as the first caravan leader and lead The team has explored the way in the past, providing a perfect start for us to carry out business exchanges in the future.”

"The... Treants of Fagon Forest?"

Manid looked slightly stunned, looking at Kant a little stunned.

He obviously didn't understand this fantastical race.

Kant explained simply: "It is a group of ancient trees that have souls and can think and act, which is no different from the wisdom of ordinary people, and even the wisdom of some ancient trees is equal to the wise man among human beings."

"Uh..." Manid nodded, having accepted this explanation in his heart.

This is the land of miracles after all.

This explanation is enough.

You can encounter anything, even the wilderness jackal can turn into a human-like appearance.

Now this group of ancient trees have wisdom, and they can also accept the activities like humans, and even stones and water can become human-like, summoned in thin paper, the so-called warriors of water and earth elements , rampaged in the battlefield, and now the tree people are not surprised.

The two chatted for a short time, and Kant arranged for Manid to have a rest after eating a supplementary breakfast. After all, he returned from a long journey, and the young businessman was still extremely tired.

After finishing the conversation, Kant went to inspect the city wall.

The construction of the "Drehem" castle has been basically completed, but it is not the end.

Currently on the system, the castle level has come to an end.

It is still a small castle in construction.

Kant can still build city walls and towers, as well as arrow towers to enhance the castle's defense capabilities. After all, the "Drehem" standing in the sentry oasis is the most conspicuous position in the desert, which is equal to the target of public criticism.

This is indeed the case. The current sentry oasis has really become the target of public criticism.

The news has spread.

The nobles behind the merchants all began to look at the desert with their minds.

Malicious, greedy, and scheming.

There is also a hatred to bite and bite.

For example, Stone Pass.

The already bad-tempered Baron Dylan was already irritable.
