Two days later, William arrived at the Chekel camp near Denlenburg, and as a semi-nomadic people, they did not have the same fortifications as the Loerdes, and it would be nice to have a fixed camp.

William led a few knights to the outside of the camp, and dozens of Cheker soldiers waited outside the door, waiting for William's arrival.

He followed the soldiers into the camp, where there were not many Chekers, only some old and weak women and children doing some light work inside.

The village is full of dried meat, and there seems to be a lot of milk, and it seems that although they are semi-nomadic, the nomadic tradition has not been lost.

William walked through the camp and was amazed that the Chekers did look better physically than the Loalds.

Although they can't eat meat often, milk is one of their staple foods, and they have learned a lot of farming techniques, so they don't starve a lot, compared to the Lourdian lifestyle, it is almost happy, of course, their lower class life is also quite miserable.

When he arrived at the door of the tent of the tribal chief, William was asked by the soldiers to unload his weapons, and although the soldiers were dissatisfied, they surrendered their weapons under William's orders.

After all, it is here to discuss business, not to fight, and it is a normal etiquette to hand over the sword, and I believe that the other party will not carry weapons in the tent anymore, if that is the case, the two sides can directly declare the negotiation broken.

What's more, the Çeker people were violently beaten by the Earl, and now they dare to do it to William, even if William is the main culprit that caused their defeat.

William lifted the curtain of the tent and stepped inside.

"Hello, Baron William!" The tribal leader stood up from his chair and greeted William.

"Hello, Lemutou!" William returned the salute, he also knew the other side, after the last defeat of the Chekers, there was this Lemutou in the negotiation sequence.

William returned the salute and glanced inside the tent to find that there was still a person sitting on the innermost chair! If you look closely, it turns out to be Chief Mutus! ”

"Hello Chief Mutus!" William said lightly.

Although William had brought up the trade, it did not mean that he was begging for help, he had already asked Jean to bring vodka when he asked the herald to deliver the message, and William did not believe that they would resist the temptation of this wine.

Coupled with the conditions offered to William, the two sides traded on an equal footing, which was an irresistible temptation for the Chekers, who were short of agricultural and sideline products.

Although the Ceker people did not have many silver coins, they had more cattle, sheep and horses, and although they were not as many as pure nomads like the Krizas, they were already very much more than those of Lordes.

Although the Chekel people were semi-nomadic, they lacked many things for the agrarian civilization, such as the most important cloth, which was difficult for them to obtain, and where they did not have the weaving technology.

Second, they will only cultivate the kind of crops that can fill their stomachs, and cash crops such as hemp are not planted at all, and as for the silkworms, there is no need to think about it, and the Lords do not have the technology.

"Hello William!" Mutus, who was proud of his identity, nodded to William very coldly.

William pulled out his chair and went down, and after greeting him, as if he hadn't seen Chief Mutus, he talked to Lemu about trade.

"Lemutou, compared to you, you already know the purpose of my visit this time, let me say this, there has been a peace agreement between our two sides before, and we will directly open trade between the two sides, but this trade can only be our official, do you understand? The populace cannot trade. William said.

"You mean that only the officials on both sides are allowed to trade, and the people are not allowed to trade with each other?" Chief Lemu asked.

"Yes, contact between the people on both sides will lead to instability in the territory of both of us, so it's better not to make contact!"

"Okay, so what do the commodities of trade consist of?"

"I brought you wine, grain, and cloth, and you have furs, all kinds of livestock, meat, and dairy! Trade on both sides on an equal footing and pay according to the median of the market price of the goods on both sides! "William has basically defined the scope of trade.

When Chief Mutus saw that William had really excluded him, his face became worse and worse, and the atmosphere in the tent gradually cooled.

Of course, William noticed it, but he didn't bird the other party, and a defeated general was still a fool? William borrowed their courage, but he did not dare to kill himself.

Although William didn't take Mutus seriously, Lemuke didn't dare to be like William, his face was full of cold sweat, and he glanced at Chief Mutus, who was pale.

He said to William: "But Baron William, it is useless for you to tell me this, after all, you are going to trade with the entire Chekel people, and I can't decide for the other leaders!" Lemu wiped the sweat from his face.

"Why don't you talk to Chief Mutus? After all, he is the rightful ruler of our Chekers. Lemu said.

William glanced at Chief Mutus, and did not refuse, if he let his face be too uncomfortable, maybe he would be banned from trading with William in a fit of anger, and then it would be impossible to steal chickens and rice.

"Well, I wonder what the opinion of the esteemed Chief Mutus is?" William asked, turning his head.

Mutus was also interested in the trade, even though the Chekers were already semi-nomadic and less hungry for food.

But in winter, there are countless cattle and sheep frozen to death, resulting in the storage of grain can not last in the spring, there are always some tribesmen will die in the cold winter, if you trade with the Loerd people, then you can sell the cattle and sheep that can not survive the winter to them, and then exchange for easy to preserve grain.

Although they heard that the Loald people were also living in a difficult situation, they were a farming people after all, and he had also heard that this year's Mandes Manor, that is, the territory of the person in front of him, had begun to harvest, and it was a rare harvest, and it was said that the people in his territory alone could not eat it for ten years.

In this way, the problem of winter food was solved, but no one else was birding himself, and at this time, Mutus already had some regrets in his heart.

But after all, he is a noble big chief, and he can't pull his face to take the initiative to talk to William.

Seeing that Lemutou had relieved himself, Mutus was very satisfied, and even thought about whether to give him some benefits and power.

"Well, since you strongly ask for it, then I will fulfill your small request, and today next month, we can have a formal trade! Let's both prepare first! Chief Mutus said, brushing the thin beard on his lips.

William saw that he was still dying, and he couldn't help but want to laugh a little in his heart, obviously he wanted to get involved, but it was like a gift to William, but now that the cooperation has been reached, William has not refutated.

After leaving the territory of the Chekels, William immediately asked Vidal to arrange these matters after returning to the manor, Vidal is now becoming more and more proficient in these things, and William intends to make him a clerk, and it is not impossible to become a courtier or something after the development in the future.

In a month's time, the autumn harvest was over, and William's territory was full of mountains of grain and alfalfa grass, which had been cultivated and simple farm manure to make the Mandes Manor harvest a bumper crop.

This year's production alone is worth more than 3,000 silver coins, which is estimated to be worth a lot of things if you exchange them with the Chekels.

Within a month, William's engineering team joined forces with the Chekers to build a trading post on the border between the two sides, where trade would take place.

Before that, William also had people inform the Earl of his life, after all, this was William's private act, and the matter of trading with the Chekels was already very suspicious.

However, the Earl did do what he said, and said that he would give some help, and he did not mean to embarrass William at all, and even expressed his support.

William could not say anything about it, and in order to repay the favor, he gave the earl two components, and the size of this market was no less than that of Denlenburg.

The western Chekels, that is, the tribes that cooperated with William, although they were the weaker of the three tribes, but the size of their territory was already four or five times that of Denlenburg, and the profits generated by such a market after trade were not comparable to those of the small Denlenburg.

And the earl does not need to contribute a manpower and material resources, he can get 20% of the income, I have to say that the identity strength is really important, so far, William and the earl have officially become a relationship of interest binding.
