Renard drank all the tea in his cup, then looked at the other party, "Are you thinking about what I'm here for?"

Duke Edmund opened his mouth and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "That's right, at first I thought you were here to ask for help, but after meeting your subordinates, I dispelled this idea. ”

Lei Ye sneered: "I don't lack soldiers, before I came, my Second Cavalry Regiment had completed the assessment, and the Third Cavalry Regiment and the Fourth Infantry Regiment had officially entered intense preparations. ”

Duke Edmund was a little surprised when he heard this, and he roughly calculated, so that the entire county of Meredith had more than four thousand regular troops, which was a terrible number, and not much less than that of Fort Duncan.

He didn't doubt the truth of his words, after all, in the face of a disaster like the Demon Calamity, there was no need to deceive some things, otherwise he would only perish faster.

Duke Edmund sighed, "Are you here to borrow grain?"

When Renard heard this, he laughed even more disdainfully: "Do I have to ask you for anything when I come here?"

Duke Edmund was a little surprised when he heard this: "You don't borrow soldiers or food, do you just want to visit me?"

This is so nonsense that he doesn't believe it himself.

Renard took a deep breath and said bluntly, "I'm here to help you." ”

"Help me?" Duke Edmund seemed to hear some funny joke, "Is there anything I need help with?"

Lei Ye was too lazy to play dumb riddles with the other party, he only said two words: "Food." ”

Duke Edmund was suddenly dumbfounded, his expression changed from funny to serious, he stared at Lei Ye for a long time, and then confirmed: "Grain?"

Lei Ye nodded: "That's right, it's food." ”

It doesn't take much nonsense for smart people to communicate with each other, and Duke Edmund asked directly, "How much grain do you have?"

Renard pinched his fingers and calculated, in fact, he had already come to the specific number before he came, and now he just wanted to adjust the other party's appetite, and it was not good to save the other party's old clothes.

In the end, he gave the exact figure: "I can make you 100,000 tons of grain." ”

Duke Edmund suddenly gasped, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get so much food?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately reacted: "You are the guy who started to loot grain before last." ”

Renard didn't deny it, in fact, he didn't need to deny it, he didn't steal or rob, he was exchanging real money for food, what is there to be afraid of, and there is no anti-monopoly law in this world.

The parlor fell silent suddenly, and Duke Edmund didn't need to rush to ask for it, because he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he had to think about how much to pay before he spoke.

Lei Ye was not in a hurry, he poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, no, this thing is too diuretic, and he felt embarrassed if he didn't do anything.

After a few minutes, Duke Edmund asked in a deep voice, "And what do you want?"

Finally can't take it anymore?

Reynard was almost full of water at this point, he hiccuped, and said very stinkingly, "Friendship, the friendship of the Duncan family." ”

Duke Edmund suddenly had black lines on his head, he lowered his voice again, and said, "Fuck off, tell me something." ”

Renard shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "You know, weapons, war horses, whatever you need later." ”

After saying that, he leaned in and said, "It would be better if there were muskets and cannons, and magic cannons would too." ”

After Lei Ye made these requests, the other party fell into contemplation again.

After a long time, Duke Edmund said: "I am not rich in weapons and horses, but there are many advanced muskets and artillery, and there are only four magic cannons in the entire dukedom, so I'm very sorry, I can't trade them." ”

When Renard heard this, a slightly disappointed expression appeared on his face: "The musket artillery is also good, I hope the price can be negotiated." ”

Duke Edmund nodded, this is also what he wants, because with the explosion of the population, the food in the territory is becoming more and more scarce, so he urgently needs to replenish food for emergencies, and cut leeks by the way.

Both sides are smart people, and they are not enemies, so there is really no need to play psychological warfare.

Duke Edmund directly confessed: "The muskets and cannons in my hands are from the Bronze Hammer Kingdom, and they are the masterpieces of the dwarves, of course, eighty percent of them are imitations. ”

When he said this, his expression was a little unnatural, and it was obvious that this experience of being fooled made him unforgettable to this day.

Renard smiled, high imitation is everywhere, but it is not uncommon for high imitation quality to exceed the original product, so he is not very repulsive to high imitation.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Duke Edmund continued: "I spent a great deal of money on these firearms, the price of which is six gold coins per musket and two hundred gold coins per gun. ”

Renard has long understood the market, the price is quite reasonable, and his system mall also sells firearms, only by comparing the prices with each other, you can confirm whether the other party is exaggerating.

At this time, someone will ask, why doesn't Lei Ye buy it in the system mall?

The reason is very simple, Lei Ye has no money now, no money, no money.

Say the important thing three times.

Ever since the Four Great Chambers of Commerce were shorted by that bastard Carlos, Renard's wallet has become more and more stretched, and he can no longer do whatever he wants like before.

Of course, there is another important reason, which is the storage of grain, which can become moldy, especially when stored in a dark warehouse, the mold will grow faster.

The southern coastal cities were very damp, and now the old grain of the county of Meredith was showing signs of mold, and he had to dispose of it before it could be completely moldy.

However, in the entire 100,000 tons of grain, there are very few grain merchants who have such a big appetite to eat them all, and I am afraid that the Arthurian Kingdom will not be able to find a few.

So Renard paid attention to the Duke of Edmund, but it is not accurate to say that the wrongdoer is wronged, and the two sides just take what they need.

He groaned for a moment and asked, "What price do you want to sell it for?"

Duke Edmund gave the answer almost without thinking: "Ten tons of grain for a musket, three hundred and fifty tons of grain for a cannon." ”

Renard just wanted to bargain, but was interrupted by the other party waving: "This is already my bottom line." ”

Duke Edmund looked at him with a smile and said, "I believe you have inquired about the market price before you came, but the price you inquired about is new grain, and the old grain that has been stored for two years is not included. ”

Lei Ye pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, I had heard Han Milton say that this Duke was a big boss, but the facts proved that this was thick and fine.

Duke Edmund then added: "Firearms will also be hard currency in the future, and this thing will hardly be broken. ”
