Chapter 116 Negotiation of Interests

Cession of a coastal tunzi?

As soon as these words came out, even Willy's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

The cession of a coastal tunzi was not just a transfer of a large area of land, but gave Baron Kells the opportunity to get involved in marine resources. The abundance of marine fish, as well as some precious objects in the sea, can provide Baron Kells with great wealth.

Baron Kells did not immediately respond.

If such a big benefit is released, then the risk that needs to be taken behind it will naturally be greater. He knew very well that Baron Ndon was not a generous and benevolent man. To be able to make this kind of decision, you must be in big trouble.

"Ahem......"

Condas coughed softly, seemingly disapproving with Jarvis's expression.

According to Baron Engton's original words, it should be the right to lease the use of a coastal tun at a preferential price indefinitely, so that is the official expression. Directly saying that ceding a tunzi sounds difficult to accept.

But Jarvis didn't care, with his character, he wouldn't pull a fig leaf on this kind of thing at all, which would make him even more embarrassed. His conceited character, even Baron Endon himself, sometimes felt helpless.

"Let's be honest, what kind of trouble are you in here? Be specific, otherwise we wouldn't have accepted your request. ”

Despite the fact that there was such a big stake in front of him, Baron Kells still kept an extremely clear head.

He has very strict criteria when it comes to weighing the benefits and losses.

"Hmmm......"

Jarvis paused and nodded: "Then I'll just pick it all out." ”

"Viscount Barbila of Oyster City had a deep friendship with our father of Baron Ndton, and just a few years ago he brought us news. ”

Oyster City is a large coastal city east of Blue Whale Town, rich in resources, large population, with its own port, commercial trade and shipping industry is very developed, and Viscount Barbila is the lord of Oyster City.

"According to Viscount Babila, the overseas wandering pirates have been gradually consolidating a few years ago. Until this year, the cold winter was unusually cold, and those pirate forces in the overseas islands suffered heavy losses due to the shortage of resources, which forced them to accelerate the trend of consolidation. ”

"In order to speed up internal integration and solve the contradiction between supply and demand of internal resources, they have to take the plundering of coastal cities and towns as the most urgent task at hand. Once spring dawns and the coast melts ice, they will be greedy like never before, and they will carry out the most ferocious raids on our coastal towns. ”

"For those big cities, it's probably nothing, they have strong walls and plenty of troops, and even if they are plundered, they will only break their bones, not their foundations. But for us small towns, a large-scale impact may cause Blue Whale Town to suffer a catastrophe. ”

Javi said it all honestly.

Condas's eyes fluttered on the side, obviously speechless at Jarvis's openness. Such a performance on the occasion of negotiation is obviously to give the other side the opportunity to raise the price at will.

Although Jarvis is talented, the conceit that comes with it is also a headache.

"...... like this"

Baron Kells's eyelids drooped when he heard this, and his expression could not tell what he was thinking.

"What do you think, Bamos?"

Baron Kells suddenly turned his head to look at the Baron's heir to the side.

Bamos was silent for a moment, and he didn't hide it, and directly said what was in his heart: "I don't recommend participating, this matter has nothing to do with us, although there are very tempting interests, but we will also take too many risks." ”

Willy listened from the sidelines, and naturally couldn't make a statement.

But he always felt that what Bamos said should not be quite in line with Baron Kells's thinking.

Baron Kells, although he is steady, is a radical and ambitious man at heart. He weighed the interests quite accurately, and was very decisive at the critical moment, just like before the war, he did not hesitate to cede the snow deer he loved, and gave Diamond Town the most powerful guarantee at the first time.

This time, the coastal tunzi ceded by the town of Blue Whale represents the opportunity to participate in the allocation of marine resources. Although the share is small, it is a gap in a new process. In this era of slow class mobility, such opportunities are rare.

Unless the entire Duchy of Langton falls into chaos and the domestic forces are reshuffled, Baron Kells can only be entrenched in Diamond Town for the rest of his life.

Now that there is such an opportunity, how can Baron Kells be indifferent.

"Bamos, you have a point, but ......"

Baron Kells changed his words: "At the critical moment, we still have to choose to take care of our good neighbors. ”

Hearing Baron Kells's statement, Jarvis and Condas's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Before we do, though, we need to get three things clear. ”

Baron Kells was already in control.

"Lord Kells, please. ”

Jarvis made a gesture of please.

"The first question is, which tunzi are you ceding to you. ”

The benefits of different tunzi are definitely different.

The larger the area, the longer the coastline, the greater the benefits.

Jarvis beckoned to the knight squire behind him, and a map of the border between Blue Whale and Diamond was presented.

"The tunzi we want to cede is the pearl tun. ”

Jarvis's finger flashed across the map.

Willy followed suit, with an unexpected look on his face.

Pearl Tun is in the westernmost part of Blue Whale Town, and the north is very close to its own Fandoutun, only separated by a wilderness. It appears as an elongated triangle on the map, stretching directly from the south of Fandoutun to the ocean, covering almost the longitudinal length of the town of Blue Whale. Its coastline is not very long, but the location is too good.

The border with Diamond Town meant that Baron Kells would be able to control it better after getting his hands on Pearl.

The cession of marine resources was limited, but it also played into the hands of Baron Kells, and Baron Nton chose Pearl Tun, which was indeed a clever move.

"Baron Ndon really knows me......"

Baron Kells smiled lightly: "Yes, I accept." So the second question is, what do you need from us?"

Jarvis didn't respond immediately, and Baron Kells didn't rush.

This issue is the core part of today's negotiations.

Cost is more of a concern than revenue.

"We want to borrow three hundred guards and two knights. ”

Jarvis first asked for a sky-high price.
