The next day, Bai Gang and the negotiators went to Morey III's study to discuss the future relationship between the two sides.

To put it bluntly, I finished helping and asked for red envelopes......

Morey III behaved very happily, and after a little greeting, he handed over a few documents and handed them to the White Steel.

One of them was a document that allowed the private caravans of white steel to be tax-free in the territory of Tuze and to enjoy the same preferential treatment as local merchants, a clause that had been agreed between the two parties.

In addition, there were several documents for the transfer of minerals and land, including the Qingquan Mine, which was specified by White Steel, as well as a large box of gold coins and precious stones.

On the document, Morey III has signed his name and stamped it, and as long as the white steel is signed and then stamped, the document can be officially validated.

Looking at these documents, Bai Gang knew that even if the rest of the things could not be negotiated this time, it would not be a loss of money.

When the front line was fighting, the intelligence officers in the rear were not idle, and they used this time to find out the basic situation of Duze.

In Duze, with the exception of a small number of high-end goods that can be transported using commercial small portals, the average tax on goods transported over long distances can be as high as 300% to 500% of the value of the goods themselves!

And that's not counting the consumption of people eating horses along the way!

Most of the cost of a piece of goods coming from afar is taxes and transportation costs!

Even if it is shipped to the vicinity of the production area, the tax can be 50% to 80%!

In other words, once the caravan of the base has the right to tax exemption, even if the quality of the goods is the same as the local goods in Duze, it can completely defeat the major chambers of commerce in Duze with its absolute price advantage!

And if you add in the terrifying production and good quality of industrial mass production, the local chamber of commerce in Duze has no way to survive except to raise their hands and surrender!

As for uniting the local aristocracy to exclude and strike at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!?

Hehe, do you really think that the tracks of the Storm Base tank are made of noodles!?

The lawsuit is not afraid in front of Morey III!

However, considering the local snake forces behind these chambers of commerce, the base has decided to cooperate with these people as much as possible after letting them see the commercial strength of the base, and transform these people into the comprador class of Du Ze, that is, the two devils leading the way party at the end of the pigtail dynasty.

If you have money, everyone will make money together, and after the formation of a community of interests, it will be much easier for the base to secretly control Duze, before the rise of e-commerce, you have to find agents to sell goods on the earth, and now you have to find some local snakes to be compradors in the other world is also an effective means to quickly spread out the stall.

"Count White, this is what has been agreed upon, the right to trade and the minerals, land, and gold coins that are your military expenses.

As for other things, I think there are some details that need to be discussed, so I didn't write the paperwork beforehand. ”

After a pause, Morey III continued:

"I heard Cadian say that Earl Bai plans to help Du Ze dredge the river and build a road, and you are even willing to help exterminate the undead near the road, I don't know if this is true?"

Bai Gang said: "Of course it's true, I empathize with the disaster that Du Ze suffered, and I am very, very sad, so I plan to do what I can for Du Ze, including the construction of roads and the cleaning of the undead." ”

"Where?" Morey III and Marquis de Cadian glanced at each other, and both of them saw a worried look in each other's eyes, "Could it be that there is something else!?" ”

Bai Gang nodded: "Yes, there are many. I have already handed over the specific matter to Baron Liu, so I would like to ask him to explain it to His Majesty. ”

Colonel Liu first stood up and saluted Morey III, then sat down and said, "Your Excellency is very saddened by the disaster that has befallen your country, so you intend to provide some help to Your Majesty and the people of Duze.

For example, building roads, dredging rivers, and cleaning up the undead that you just mentioned, these are all fine!

We can make the road an asphalt road that is better than the stone road in Yunfeng City, we can repair the docks on the river, and we can send troops to help you sweep away those small groups of undead!

We can even build a railroad for Tozawa! ”

Morey III wondered: "Railway? What's that? ”

"The so-called railway, in simple terms, is a machine that lays two steel tracks on the ground and then has a special golem walk on them to pull goods."

Colonel Liu briefly introduced the benefits of the railway, such as fast speed, large volume, low freight, and it is perfect for pulling goods!

However, none of the Morey III, who understood what the railroad was, thought that this thing was really used to pull goods or passengers, and they were all 1,000% convinced that the so-called railway was a high-speed passage specially built to transport troops!

An alternative to a strategic-level portal!

As for the transporter that Baron Liu said just now, it's just a joke! Even if it's a kid, no one will believe it!

Pulling goods?

If the golem monster called the train really has the same amazing transportation capacity as Baron Liu said, how many times can the monster pull the steel used by Quan Duze in a year?

I'm afraid two trips are too much! It's just funny to spend huge sums of money to build a railway for this kind of thing!

Transporting people?

Both peasants and knights had their own land to take care of, and who would need to ride that kind of thing to a distant land, except for a very few merchants? If you really have something, you can use the portal!

Therefore, apart from the possibility of using this kind of monster golem during the large-scale mobilization of the army, Morey III, they really can't think of any other possibilities!

Despite his desire for this ability to quickly mobilize troops, Morey III was even more worried about not knowing when his Yunfeng City would be raided by Bai Gang's troops on a train.

Therefore, no matter what, he was unwilling to build the railroad to various strategic points in Tuze, but he forced himself to allow some railways connecting the mines to be built slightly to transport ore.

Of course, Morey III did not dare to excessively irritate Bai Gang, a "powerful nobleman", and the other party was helping to build roads and help clear the undead, so it was always inappropriate to refuse as soon as he asked for it.

So, Morey III agreed to the ownership of the railroad by White Steel.

The land around the railroad was also assigned to White Steel, and a small number of troops were allowed to be stationed around the railroad to protect them from the undead.

In the opinion of Morey III, since White Steel had promised to build railways on remote wasteland as much as possible, it would not hurt to sell him those wastelands that no one wanted, and since it had become the private land of the White Earl, it was the natural right of the nobility to garrison a small number of troops on his own land, and he could not take it away.

To be honest, when the negotiating team proposed the ownership of railways, land along the line, and garrison rights in the territory of other countries, they were very awkward, because this always reminded them of the South Manchurian Railway......

However, since it seems that Morey III did not resist these demands very much, they were not kind enough to take the initiative to tell each other about the conventions on the Earth side.
