Chapter 272 Negotiation of Interests
As soon as Baron Lunit said this, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly cooled down.
Basically, in Baron Lunet's words, his will was completely clear.
I'm here to ask for help.
"Baron Lunnet......"
Willy didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before he spoke slowly: "Before the collapse of the fiefdom system in the province of Daweipur, we were all equal titles. Now that they have become nominally independent lords, there was no difference in status between them before, so there is nothing to mention and not to mention. It's just that the sudden arrival of the era of independent lords may make you uncomfortable, in fact, we are too. It is enough to pacify the internal affairs, strengthen the troops, and do all this well. ”
Baron Lunit smiled wryly when he heard this.
Baron Willy's response was too tactful, and although he said a lot, he didn't say a word useful.
To pacify the internal affairs and strengthen the army, every lord knows what to do, but the problem is, it can't be done.
"Now that I've said that, Baron Willy, I don't want to hide it. ”
Baron Lunit knew that Willy would not take the initiative to ask for help, so he had to open his own mouth: "This time I came to White Bear Town, in addition to thanking you for driving those outcasts and robbers last time, I also have other thoughts. I hope that Sand Butterfly and White Bear can establish an alliance. ”
"Baron Lunnet......"
Baron Lunit wanted to continue, but was abruptly stopped by Willy.
Willy retracted the smile on his face before, and his expression gradually became serious, now that it has been laid out, he can only say it directly.
"I think it's too early to say about the establishment of alliances, we were originally friendly neighbors in the southwestern border of the former Duchy of Langton, and if there were any real difficulties, we would definitely help each other. So let's talk about the establishment of alliances later. ”
Willy seemed to tactfully reject Baron Lunnet's offer.
To establish an alliance? That is at least on the basis of the equal strength of both sides.
What qualifications does the current Sand Butterfly Town have to establish an equal alliance with White Bear Town?
In Wiley's view, it is okay to re-establish a reasonable relationship between the two parties, and this is not a problem at all. But Shadie Town must be able to show the benefits and benefits that it can see, and only in this way can it agree to the cooperation of both sides.
Otherwise, there is no reason for me to play the role of a good person in this special period.
Hearing Willy's refusal, Baron Lunnet's face showed a look of regret, but it quickly disappeared.
Baron Willy's talk of helping each other is nothing short of prevarication.
If it is said that White Bear Town and Diamond Town help each other, Baron Lunit still believes it, after all, the current Willy was born in Diamond Town.
But White Bear Town and Sand Butterfly Town help each other, don't joke, although they are also close neighbors, but when the situation changes, this kind of powerful neighbor is the most terrifying. As soon as he turned around, his neighbor turned into a giant beast and devoured himself.
Baron Lunit exhaled deeply, and it was clear to him that it was time to negotiate the issue of interests.
"Baron Willy, we, Shadie Town, want to cede certain benefits in exchange for the support of White Bear Town. ”
Baron Lunit sighed, and then directly picked out the conditions.
"Surrender of interests......
When Willy heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and his whole body leaned back slightly, and his whole body leaned against the soft back cushion.
He crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him: "Then, Baron Lunit, please tell me." ”
Willy behaved like a businessman who was purely interested in profit.
"Baron Willy should also know that since the situation changed, the grain trade and ore trade have basically been restricted between various territories, because these resources have basically become the foundation for accumulating power between each territory. However, I can assure you that once we have established an alliance, I can assure you that the ore trade, as well as the grain trade, between White Bear and Sand Butterfly, will continue as usual. Moreover, the price of the transaction can be negotiated by the people below, which can ensure that you are satisfied. ”
After saying this, Baron Lunit added: "This trade is one-sided, and we are not asking White Bear to adopt the same policy towards us. ”
After Baron Lunit finished speaking, the officials on the White Bear Town side all glanced at each other.
This condition is indeed very tempting. This means that Sand Butterfly Town will become a regular resource channel for White Bear Town.
In a turbulent environment, it is very rare to open up such a resource channel.
Not only the officials of White Bear Town, but even Baron Willy himself was obviously a little moved.
Instead of responding immediately, Willy put his fingers on the table and gently slammed the table.
Although there is no shortage of food resources and ore resources in White Bear Town for the time being, it cannot be denied that in this special period, the importance of the two resources is not denied.
There are more food resources and ore resources in their hands, and in addition to their own use, they can also play a role in inducing interests when they are competing in certain battles.
In addition, although Shadie Town is a small town, the ore resources around it are of high quality, which is much higher than the quality of surrounding towns such as White Bear Town and Diamond Town. If it can be supported by the ore resources of Sand Butterfly Town, the weapons and armaments of White Bear Town will also be upgraded to a higher level.
"Hmmm......"
Willy dragged out a long tone, then looked at Baron Lunnet: "The conditions are tempting, but you should also know that this is not enough ......"
"Hoo ......"
Baron Lunit let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Willy's tone loosen.
I'm not afraid that Baron Willy will open his mouth, but I'm afraid that Baron Willy won't let go.
Now that Baron Willy has this intention, it is much simpler.
Although Shadie Town is not as wealthy as White Bear Town, the territory has been established for nearly three hundred years, and several generations of lords have accumulated a lot of wealth. Now that the crunch is now, it's time to make their difference.
"Of course, in addition to trade, we in Sand Butterfly Town will regularly give you a certain amount of ore resources to promote our friendship. ”
Baron Lunit gritted his teeth, and then continued: "Even, I will give you the ownership of a special mine. ”
"Huh?"
Willy shrank between his eyebrows: "Special mining area?"
"What is this?"
Willy leaned forward slightly, clearly showing interest.
Seeing this, Baron Lunit gestured to the people around him.
I saw that the captain of Shadie Town's own soldiers, Bai Qiute, took out a tightly closed wooden box.
"It's this kind of ore. ”
Baron Lunit took it, then stood up, and the two sides were handed in front of Willy.
