Chapter 253: Provocation (II)
First update!
When Luo Heng heard this, he turned his head to look over, and then said: "This gentleman, you are very rude like this, I don't know which family you are from, but you look at these people around me, as a nobleman, you should follow the minimum etiquette, didn't your family teach you how to be a gentleman at a drinking party?"
Instead of answering the question head-on, it countered with behavior.
Kui Sen nodded, and the other nobles who were concerned about this side also nodded, who are Luo Heng around him, Kui Sen, the president of the Alchemy Association.
It is very impolite for an unknown person to interrupt someone else's conversation.
The other party was a young man, probably in his twenties, and when he heard Luo Heng say this, his face turned red, and he asked loudly, "Duke Cheney, could you please answer my question head-on?"
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of what we need to do for a stranger, guard, to send this person to the Holy City Police. Luo Heng shrugged and said.
"You dwarf mule....... The young man on the other side yelled, and then a glove smashed on the young man's face.
"You are an insult to our dwarf clan, no matter what family you come from, from today on, your family and I Cheney will never die, Steward Wood, issue a reward to the major unions, this person's head, 100,000 gold coins, their immediate family members, 100,000 gold coins each. Luo Heng was direct and violent.
The young man on the other side was dumbfounded, and before he could react, he was dragged away by two guards covering his mouth.
The people at the scene were a little dumbfounded, one person had 100,000 gold coins, and the adventurer, the mercenary was not crazy, and half of the reward for an ordinary person was less than ten gold coins.
100,000 gold coins, which can already be a reward for people of the same level as high-level warriors.
"Sorry, I'm getting a little impulsive, where did this damn bastard come from. Luo Heng said.
"No, Cheney, you're doing the right thing, damn for this kind of disrespect for other people. "What can Quison say.
Although many humans will privately give other races an insulting word, such as dwarf mules and the like.
But that's a private thing, and once it's said publicly, it's an open provocation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to discuss with you about next year's procurement plan, and please don't mind some of the small troubles just now. Luo Heng stood on a platform, no way, people are much shorter.
The people from all walks of life who participated in the drinking party who were originally a little uncomfortable were a little happy after hearing this.
In private, some people complained, why aren't there more stupid ~ force?
"After more than a year, you are the most loyal partner of our dukedom, and last year our total trade volume reached more than nine million gold coins, and I am here to assure you that next year the transaction volume will be doubled, or even tripled. Luo Heng said.
"Lord Duke, what you said is true?" The eyes of the people below turned red when they heard this.
"Yes, I am also a nobleman, I know that it is very difficult for you to run a territory, the price of food is low during the harvest, and the taxes are not very much, and there are no taxes when there is a disaster. Luo Heng said.
Luo Heng is telling the truth, because the aristocratic system of this world is much better than that of the West on the earth.
Because there are many nobles, so there is an assessment of the nobles' management ability, and the number of people in the territory must continue to grow, not to mention the starvation of people, once the other nobles know, then your territory may be replaced by someone else.
Of course, your nobility will also be insecure, and you may have to pay a large penny.
The trade volume of nine million gold coins can drive the economy.
Horse-drawn carts, pack horses, merchants along the trade routes, sacks for grain, barrels for ale wine, livestock for salted meat and jerky, salt, and so on.
The trading volume of nine million gold coins can pull the economy tenfold, and this is no joke.
Among them, the biggest benefit is Baron William, Baron William's territory borders Luo Heng, and now Luo Heng is opposite a large ~ piece of warehouses and taverns, which are more prosperous than a small city.
"That's what the Duke said. The people below raised their glasses.
"Today I will also sign a purchase agreement with you, so that you can prepare when you go back, after all, some things take a long time to prepare. Luo Heng said.
Like the barrels of ale, which took a long time to prepare, there were sacks for grain, heavy carriages, and the training of pack horses, the hiring of manpower, and the increase in the number of caravans.
This is not something that can be done in a while, and winter is a good time to prepare these things, because it is free.
This time, it is wrong to look at each other's eyes.
Behind these caravans are all aristocrats, and the aristocratic territory is actually a small social structure, with pastures, farms, and winemaking workshops.
Even if you don't have one, your relatives have one.
Luo Heng didn't lower the price or anything, after all, he was in high demand.
"The time for signing the agreement is set for tomorrow afternoon, and the total amount will be doubled for the time being, and the price will still be the price of this year, which I will not disadvantage you, of course, if you are not able to provide it, then I may bring in other caravans. Luo Heng said.
"Your Excellency, no problem. ”
"That's it, Lord Duke, don't say double, double, triple. ”
The representatives of these caravans immediately said loudly, and these caravan representatives were all noble disciples.
"Well done Cheney. Kuisen saw Luo Heng coming out of the crowd and exclaimed.
"There's no way, people are poor. Luo Heng smiled.
"You've made an alliance as well, do you have any ideas?" asked Quison.
"Well, I have an idea, I want to form a business alliance, and within the alliance, there can be preferential purchases, and there is no tax on each other. Luo Heng said in a low voice.
"No taxes!" Quison heard this, a little incredulous.
There is no saying that there are no taxes, the biggest source of wealth in this world is taxes, whether it is each noble, or each territory, no matter anyone enters the territory, the nobles have the right to collect taxes.
The tax rate was customized by the nobles themselves.
Of course, the tax rate between the nobles and the nobles is very low, so the chambers of commerce and caravans that do business in this world are all nobles, and the others have passed a few territories, and the goods are gone.
"Well, in fact, many of the nobles are not taxed. Luo Heng said.
"I'm afraid it's not easy, after all, the Chamber of Commerce has to pass through more territories. Quison shook his head.
