Chapter 292: Spices for Slaves
So, Ma'sif felt like he was making a lot of money.
And in addition to making money, he also gained the favor of a great lord by returning the favor, and the favor of a lord may be used at any time, so no matter how you look at it, Ma'sif feels that he has made a lot of money.
Meng Yuan and Ma Xifu were hypocritical for a while before they said again: "Ma Xifu, I don't know what kind of business you usually do?" ”
Masif's eyes lit up slightly. Secretly said: "This gift is not given in vain~~~ It seems that it is beneficial~ Well, since this lord likes gold so much, it would be good to send a few more boxes of gold coins later." ”
After observing Meng Yuan's face for a moment, Ma Xifu said tentatively: "It's all some food and specialties, and occasionally collect some strange items."
Meng Yuan nodded and said, "You should have heard a lot of rumors about me when you were in Lu Gaoyin, I used to buy a large number of slaves there. I wonder if you do this kind of business? ”
Masif frowned slightly, "Slave? ”
Meng Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, slave, I need the population, because my territory is too rich and needs someone to cultivate it." ”
Masif thought for a while before he said apologetically, "My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you more. Because the slave business was only done by the royal family, which was also an important source of income for each kingdom, outsiders were generally not allowed to interfere. I'm just an ordinary merchant, and if the royal family knows that I'm buying and selling slaves, I'm ~~~~"
In general? The meaning is obvious. You can't do it under normal circumstances, but what if it's not an ordinary situation? Merchants seek profits, although on the surface the slave business can only be done by the royal family, but secretly who knows how many merchants are secretly doing this business? It's just that the merchants can't put this business on the surface. Therefore, if you want to say that no one other than the royal family does not do this business, who will believe it? What about liars!
Meng Yuan smiled: "Then what do you think of my spice business?" ”
At the mention of spices, Masif immediately smiled, for they were so profitable that his merchant ships would make a trip to Ru Gauin that would make more than ten times more than the profits of other goods. Although the official tax of Lu Gain is a bit more expensive, as long as the spices can be brought out of the country, the tax money is still money?
You must know that the merchants of various kingdoms are frantically crowding Lu Gaoin, in order to be able to buy more spices, and then ship them to other places to sell, and earn the difference. What industry is the hottest right now? Not weapons, not slaves, but spices! Lu Gaoin's spice!
Ma Xifu asked with a little excitement, "My lord, do you want to provide spices?" ”
Now people all over the world know that the spices of Lu Gaoin were provided by Lord Mencius. Therefore, when Meng Yuan talked about spices, the first thing that came to mind was that the lord was going to sell spices.
However, Masif was only half right. Meng Yuan did want to sell spices, but instead of selling them for gold coins, he wanted to exchange spices for slaves.
Meng Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." But I don't charge gold. ”
Ma'sif's smiling face froze slightly. "Then you ???"
Meng Yuan said: "That's right. I can provide you with spices, but I also need you to provide me with slaves! ”
"This~~" Ma Xifu lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he was weighing the disadvantages of power, and then looked at Meng Yuan with some seriousness, and asked cautiously: "Lord Lord, I don't know how many slaves you need?" If it's just on a small scale~ maybe I can send you some strong slaves. ”
Sure enough, the world is as black as a crow, and the merchants of this world don't sell slaves? Who believes ~~~
Meng Yuan smiled: "A lot, everything is needed, Amazons, barbarians, druids, those half-breeds, pure-blooded humans, etc. I also need professional slaves, assassins, amazon warriors, barbarian warriors, druids, clergy, magicians, and necromancers, and if you can get a Heradim mage, in short, I want all slaves. Young people, children, learned old men, demons, monsters, beasts, and even peculiar corpses! ”
As Meng Yuan's words slowly spit out, Ma Xifu's face became more and more pale, and his heart kept being shocked. "Are you sure you want these slaves? Lord Lord's taste is too heavy, monster? Demon? Corpse? What can this thing be used for? ”
Of course, he didn't dare to say this, because he was already frightened by everything Meng Yuan said.
Masif stammered a little and asked, "That~ the lord, other slaves may have a way, but ~~ but the corpse?" ”
Meng Yuan showed a wicked smile and said, "Didn't anyone tell you that in addition to my status as a lord, I also have a career?" ”
"Job~~Job~~Industry?"
Meng Yuan stood up and made a mage salute to Ma Xifu and said, "Undead ~ magician!" ”
Masif wailed inwardly. "It's true that necromancers need corpses, but ~ isn't that all about killing demons outside to get corpses? Are you so blatant about buying corpses? It is said that necromancers have a weird temper, but yours is too weird! ”
Mazef wiped his sweat slightly and said, "This~Lord, I'm afraid~~"
Meng Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "How many spices do you need?" ”
"What?"
Meng Yuan asked again: "As long as you can meet my requirements, I can give you as many spices as you want, and you don't need to do this alone, you can find more merchants to deal with this matter together, and you, as the leader of those merchants, will get the right to distribute spices." You and your merchant friends decide how to distribute these spices, and I don't ask. ”
Masif's eyes lit up. "My lord, fifteen days!"
Meng Yuan was puzzled: "What fifteen days?" ”
With a determined expression, Masif said, "Give me fifteen days, and the first shipment you need will be delivered here!" ”
"I'll go~" Meng Yuan was frightened by Ma Xifu's gaze. "That's too fast, isn't it? Just now, you said that you don't meddle in the slave industry, and you say that it's not easy to do, how can you do it? Fifteen days after that? Really! Businessmen are all profit-seeking, they are all black-bellied, as long as the interests are big enough, there is nothing they dare not do. ”
Meng Yuan shouted and said, "Okay! Then we'll trade in fifteen days, right here at this dock. I will give you as many spices as you bring with you, and I guarantee that the price of Biru Gain is cheaper, at least I don't need taxes here~ Moreover, in order to be able to complete a larger number of transactions, I can provide you with a portal, and you can trade with me directly in Lu Gain, then. Happy working together? ”
"Happy cooperation, my lord. (To be continued.) )
