Act 135 The Requirement for White Steel

The more Marquis Kadean thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he couldn't stand the torture of all kinds of cranky speculations, so he simply asked about Bai Gang's purpose.

"Earl White, please say your request directly, do you want me to serve you!? I'm so sorry, the Kadian family has been a vassal of the Duze royal family for generations, and I can't break the oath of my ancestors! ”

Sylne, who was standing on the side, suddenly became anxious and interjected: "Father, Count White is not such a person!" ”

Bai Gang looked at Marquis Kadean strangely and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is right, I am indeed not the kind of person who takes advantage of people's dangers. Lord Marquis, why do you think so? Why would I do that? I didn't come to the Anglia continent for war, I have no intention of being an enemy of Duze at all, and naturally I will not make such excessive demands on you, if I really make such a request, wouldn't it be tantamount to declaring war on Duze? ”

Now Kadean was really at a loss, if it weren't for this request, he really couldn't imagine what else was worth him to pay such a big price in the marquisate that had been torn apart by the undead, the lords were fighting around, to put it bluntly, wasn't it just fighting for land and population.

Naturally, the Marquis of Kadean would not know about Bai Gang and the idea of the storm base standing behind him, the gap in vision caused by the different times was very huge, and the land and population that the Marquis of Kadean favored were completely worthless in the eyes of the storm base.

What are those lands going to do here? Do you grow potatoes? It's hilarious! A place with such a high level of secrecy in the other world could not be used for immigration. As for the population, this is somewhat useful, because the base does lack manpower due to strict secrecy review, but the labor shortage of the base can be solved by hiring, and there is no need to make a big move. Besides, the vast majority of the people in a territory are farmers who can't read a single word, and the old, weak, sick and disabled, so what is the reason for all the unselective ones? It's almost useless, not to mention that the base has to manage them to eat, drink, and sleep.

If you can reap the gratitude of the natives of the other world, you can just raise it, and you will be able to raise it, and there is no shortage of this food anyway. But in the eyes of the lord of the other world, Bai Gang will become an aggressor, which can be described as thankless, and he will find guilt for himself.

The Storm Base is only interested in the unique resources of the Atlas, such as magic crystals and other good things that have not yet been discovered, and it is enough to obtain them through trade, and the predatory trade using the industrial generation gap is a very efficient and non-side-effect method when operated.

The smashing and looting colonization of those Western criminals in the Age of Discovery? It's so outdated!

"Lord Marquis, I really came here to establish friendship, the rescue just now and the food and medicine and other materials after that are just a little gift for me, maybe you think it is very valuable, but for me the Count of Monte Cristo, it is just something worthless, my country is peaceful and tranquil, and there is no shortage of food and medicine."

Marquis Kadean sighed and said, "Alas...... In that case, thank you Earl White. But don't you really have any requirements? ”

"Of course, I'm not without desires, in fact, I really have two things that I hope to be approved by the Marquis of Cardion."

Kade's heart tightened, the time to come is finally here, just listen to what this white earl wants, anyway, even if he fights to the death, he can't let the marquis retreat and the wolves fall into the tiger's mouth.

"First of all, I would like to be able to trade with the Kadean family, and of course, I would like you to be exempt from our toll tax. If I can, I would also like the Marquis to help us communicate with His Majesty the Emperor and allow us to do business throughout the territory of Duze, preferably without taxes. ”

"Huh!?"

Marquis of Cadian and the people around him were stunned, they didn't expect Bai Gang to make such a request.

"What's wrong? Is it hard to do? ”

Marquis Kadean hurriedly said: "If it's just my personal territory, of course it's not difficult, I can sign the document now!" Wouldn't the honor of our Kadean family become a joke if the benefactor who saved us still has to collect taxes!?

However, there is nothing I can do about the business in the whole of Duze. On the emperor's side, I can convince me, but now that Du Ze is facing great pressure from the undead, I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to take care of this. Other than that...... Although it is a little difficult to speak, but now the trade routes of Duze are indeed in a state of paralysis, and there are undead everywhere, and the lords' forces are only very reluctant to guard the castle, and it is impossible to exterminate those scattered undead, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for the earl to fulfill his request,"

"It doesn't matter at all, we can figure out our own way about the trade route, and we can even help you clean up the undead."

"Are you telling the truth!? If that's the case, I can guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will agree to your request! ”

Marquis Cadian looked at Bai Gang excitedly, of course he knew how important it was for a country to have smooth trade routes, and now this White Earl was actually willing to help clear the undead! Even for the sake of this, the emperor would not hesitate to agree to Bai Gang's request.

Bai Gang nodded with satisfaction, as long as this one satisfies the future base of goods, it can be rampant in the entire Duze!

In the medieval period of the feudal system of lords, goods had to be taxed every time they passed through a lord's territory, just like the situation when the warlords of China were fighting, there were tax-collecting checkpoints everywhere, and the cheapest of the same goods were those foreign goods that did not have to pay taxes! Domestic goods had to go by water in order to pay less taxes, but the shipping industry at that time was also dominated by foreigners! At that time, it was indeed commendable that the national industry could grow up in such a harsh environment.

"Then the second one, I would like to be able to buy a piece of land and build a town there as a transit point for Cape Storm to the hinterland of Tozawa."

"Land ......"

Marquis Kadean sighed, and finally waited for this one, although he was extremely unwilling to cede the territory that his ancestors had worked so hard to develop, but now there was no way to do it, as long as it was not too much, he could only agree.

"I don't know where you're going to go?"

"I haven't investigated it in detail, but my dragons see a place in the sky that seems to be pretty good, I think if there is no big problem, I should choose there, I don't know if you have a map here, I can point it out for you."

The Marquis of Cardian immediately asked people to bring up the map, and Bai Gang pointed to a place on the map and said, "That's right, this is it." ”
