"Your Majesty, Baron William begs to see you!" A valet reports to the king.

"Oh? What is he here for? Let him in! "King Brolin has been a bit anxious lately.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty!" William entered the king's study and greeted him.

"You may be seated, Baron William!"

"What's the matter?"

"I'm here to tell you, Your Majesty, about the gift I gave you last time."

"The kind of wine I offer to your majesty is called vodka, and I have priced it at three silver coins per can, and now the production of our territory is three thousand cans per month, which means that after selling it, it will be nine thousand silver coins, of course, and this does not include the cost."

"What I want to say is that I can expand production again if Your Majesty needs it, and there is still a lot more to offer His Majesty the King!"

"Unfortunately, my territory is very short of iron ore resources, and even the entire Denlenburg region is very scarce for iron ore, so I hope that Your Majesty can open up some of your iron materials, so that I can ensure the safety of my territory, and at the same time protect a small part of your assets, Your Majesty!"

"Iron shortage, I've heard about the lack of iron ore in Dengrenburg for a long time, but as far as I know, there are a lot of merchants dumping iron there, how can it still cause a shortage of iron?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the ** businessmen have iron in their hands, and they are united to raise the price, and the price they give is often five or six times that of the royal capital, we really can't afford such a price, except for some places where iron must be used, we will grit our teeth and buy it, and we can't use iron at other times!"

William was indignant and angry at the ** merchant, it has not been a day or two since Denlenburg was short of iron, he only noticed this matter recently because of the large-scale manufacture of armor, and now most of the money in his hand is spent on iron.

If it was really bought in the hands of that group of merchants, then the value of the iron materials needed for three hundred sets of scale armor and weapons would be nearly 10,000 silver coins, while in the royal territory with iron mines, the same quality and quantity of iron materials could be bought for just over a thousand silver coins.

This problem also plagued many territories, so until now most parts of Denlenburg still use wooden household utensils.

One is to save money, the other is to save money, what is the difference of more than 7,000 silver coins in the middle, if it continues like this, when the war horse market in the royal capital is saturated, William's hard life will come.

Before William left, there was not much iron left in the warehouse, it is estimated that the armor had already been discontinued during this time, and the 30,000 silver coins he got in his last business cost more than 10,000 in a period of time, plus the 60,000 silver coins he got this time, he saved 70,000 silver coins, but if he still spends money so lavishly, even if she has vodka support, it will not be able to escape the end of sitting on the mountain.

"No problem, there is never a shortage of these things in the royal family's warehouse, you can take them when you leave, and you can come here every month to take the amount you need!" King Brolin said indifferently.

The royal family held two iron mines in their hands, and William's request seemed to King Brolin to be nothing more than a trivial matter.

King Brolin holds two iron mines in his hands, which is really eye-catching, especially for a lord like William who comes from an iron-deficient region, and his eyes are shining when he looks at those two iron mines.

The economic value of iron ore is not too high, at least far worse than gold and silver mines, but its political significance is very high, and the discovery of iron ore means that the military will be very strong, especially in iron-deficient areas.

At the same time, although the economic value of iron ore is not as good as that of gold and silver ore, it is also very valuable, anyway, these two iron mines in the hands of the royal family can be sold a lot in addition to meeting the needs of the army.

For the Tskema Kingdom, which has only three iron mines in the country, the royal family's trade in iron is close to monopoly, coupled with the royal family's various small industries, so the royal family can maintain a luxurious style after losing 400,000 silver coins.

Holding two iron mines, William alone estimates that the royal family's income from selling iron can reach 100,000 silver coins every year, and the share that vodka can bring to the royal family is more than 20,000 silver coins per year, which is one-fifth of the iron.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and I thank you very much on behalf of all the nobles of Denlenburg!" William said sincerely.

"Anything else? Baron William? ”

"One more thing, Your Majesty!" William said.

King Brolin looked at him curiously.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really an offense to you!" William said with a sad face.

"Offense to me? What's going on, Baron William! When King Brolin heard that he was offended by him, the smile on his face was noticeably not as bright as it had just been.

"Yesterday I assaulted a ...... because I was drunk Your Majesty's maid, I'm really sorry because I thought she was my fiancée! William said unspeakably.

"I see!" King Brolin's face softened considerably, for a little maid was nothing to him.

"What do you want? You know I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me about it! King Brolin said, raising an eyebrow.

"I hope that Your Majesty will be able to give her to me as my maid, after all, I did it, and I will bear this responsibility." William said with a guilty face.

Two lives, finally handed over his precious first time in Lingsi, to be honest, William also has some feelings for Lingsi, just like every woman will clearly remember her first man, and the same is true for William at this time.

"Well, I don't have a problem, but it's up to you to see if she agrees or not, most of the maids in my court are the young daughters of the baron's fake, not the children of commoners, if she doesn't agree, I won't force him, do you understand?" Although King Brolin did not object, he did not directly give Lingsi to William.

In fact, King Brolin was amused by William's behavior at this time, in his heart, men, especially as a nobleman, can be on it, what can they do? There are very few people like William who have to get the other party to his side.

Of course, it is not excluded that the young man has just taken a fancy to which little maid! Although King Brolin is only twenty-nine years old, the perennial intrigue and the tempering of his mood have made him grow up rapidly, and compared to William's young age, of course, he seems mature.

"Okay, if it's nothing, you can step back first, I still have a lot of things to do here!" King Brolin issued an order to expel the guest.

"Then, I will first say goodbye to my honorable majesty." William retired and walked out of the study.

Out of the study, William found Lingsi waiting at the door, at this time she was holding her legs, covering her legs with her skirt, and leaning on the ground.

"I'm back!" William walked up to her side and whispered silently to her head.

William now feels like a lover, this kind of soft-spoken attitude William has only shown in front of Wella, looking at the petite and lovely maid, he sighed helplessly in his heart, this is all his own sin.

When the little maid saw William coming, she quickly got up from the ground and followed behind William.

"From now on, you are my man, relax, I won't murder you! When you return to my territory, you can stay with me and be my personal maid, and of course you can choose to leave, I won't stop you! William repeated what he had said yesterday.

Even if an innocent little virgin becomes a feudal lord, he still can't change his sentimental character and values other people's ideas, which is determined by William's long-term lifestyle.

William himself knows that he has a soft heart, and if others treat him well, he hates that person to be a brother, and this kind of character is good or bad.

If it sounds good, it is benevolent, but if it is not good, it is not a hero, and it can't do great things.
