Chapter 111: I actually only drank a mouthful of soup
An iron ingot is about ten catties, and four thousand iron ingots are forty thousand catties, that is, two thousand kilograms, which is two tons of weight. The people they brought, and this primitive transport wagon, it was not easy to transport.
But all the people were enthusiastic at this time, and under the command of Lao Muka, without waiting for Chi Nan to say anything, everyone pushed the cart and walked up by themselves. Chi Nan's own horses, they didn't want to use them, let Chi Nan ride like this.
Chi Nan had no choice but to let them. With so many goods transported, it would take three days to return to their territory, and this was only the time to get to the intersection outside Hongshaling. The road in Hongshaling is even more difficult to walk.
But Chi Nan was still very happy, this time the harvest was greater than he imagined, and he got the iron ore that his territory lacked, and now his army even had the iron ingots needed to continue to expand the army. It can even be used to improve your own life. To improve the lives of the people of the entire territory, this iron product is not enough.
Hey, I still need to keep trading. Farah watched from afar as Chi Nan left, slamming a cup on the ground. "Damn half-elf, I've lost face again. ”
"My lord, what about that one. A soldier pointed to the ground screaming on his pointed chin.
"What else can I do, take it down for treatment. It's really a waste, even if it's a half-elf, but it's also a nobleman, dare to be disrespectful to the nobles like this, and you should be thankful that you can survive by looking for death. ”
With so many soldiers lost this time, and the collapse of the city walls, all of which need to be replenished and repaired, it seems that there will be a lot of things for themselves. Fortunately, I made a lot of money from this transaction, at least I can give an explanation to the big nobles above. Really, it's all to blame on that damn half-elf.
If it weren't for the half-elf, this batch of goods would be his own, and he wouldn't have to pay any iron ingots at all, and he wouldn't have to lose the city walls and his own men. Farah felt that he couldn't vent the anger in his heart.
"My lord, my lord, we have brought back the pneumatic cannon left by the lord outside. ”
Hearing this, Farah suddenly looked excited: "Great, take me over to have a look." Hahahaha, you idiot half-elf, such a powerful weapon has been left, I deserve to get rich.
It was only when Farah walked to the square that he finally knew what it meant to be happy and sad.
"My lord, my lord, these pneumatic cannons are starting to wither, I can't do anything, my lord, come and take a look. ”
Hearing this, Farah suddenly became anxious, stepped forward to take a closer look, and the leaves on the pneumatic cannon really began to wither, and even the pneumatic cannon itself slowly began to age, visible to the naked eye, and the speed was very fast.
"Damn half-elf, if you dare to trick me again, I, Farah, will definitely make you die a bad death. ”
The people around them were silent, and their lords were in a bad mood, and they didn't dare to attract Farah's attention.
On the other side, Chi Nan rode a horse and led the team back. Because of his age, Chi Nan didn't let him push the cart, but let him follow on the side.
"My lord, you lost a bit of money in the previous transaction. However, the subordinates understand that the loss this time is to not offend Baron Farah, so the next transaction will be handed over to the subordinates. ”
Chi Nan was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you offend Farah, haven't we already offended?"
Old Muka was also strange: "My lord, aren't you deliberately suffering a loss and giving him some benefits because Farah is behind the Governor and the major lords?" ”
From Farah's words, it can be heard that behind Farah is indeed the Governor of Remas and some big nobles. These big nobles want to control the iron ore here, so they let Farah come here as a lord. At the beginning, I thought wrongly, I thought that there was some powerful family behind the lord here, but I didn't expect it to be a puppet.
"I'm not afraid of them, those nobles are powerful, but now, and we can be self-sufficient in everything, we don't need their help at all, why should I worry about offending them?"
Suddenly, Chi Nan's eyes narrowed: "Tell me, how much we have lost." ”
Lao Muka was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Qixiang flowers have a price, although the market price is a golden dragon, but the black market can even sell five golden dragons." This time the shipment is relatively large, but it is definitely more than the four golden dragons. There is also flour, which is too small in quantity, it is a luxury for the aristocracy, and the price must have multiplied several times. ”
"Then there's the iron ingots. Although the market price is indeed a piece of golden dragon, if it is purchased in Huangshaling, one golden dragon should be able to exchange for three or four iron ingots, which is probably so much. ”
Chi Nan was stunned, and it took a long time to react: "You profiteer, Farah, I remember you." Next time, if I can't let you drop a few pieces of meat, I'll give you your last name. "I didn't expect it, I thought I made a lot of money, but I didn't expect to be made a lot of money by the other party, I just drank a sip of soup, and I was still proud.
In the future, professional things must be handed over to professional people to do, and they must not mess around by themselves. Such a loss is enough once, and if you do it a few times, the loss will be really large.
"Well, forget about this time, there will never be a next time. ”
Chi Nan wouldn't believe that the cheap Farah would forget about this kind of thing, this guy is very small-bellied, and there are governors and other big nobles behind him, and he will definitely come to find trouble for himself.
The top priority now is to quickly develop your own strength, and under this great opportunity, you can quickly improve your status to the extent that those nobles dare not deal with you.
Those nobles are not such a small fight as Farah, and the subordinates of the big nobles, which one does not have tens of thousands of troops, and even some have hundreds of thousands of troops, once such an army is opened, their own territory cannot be stopped at all.
The number of people is too small, which is a hard injury. No, we must collect more displaced people, and it seems that we must develop the periphery as soon as possible. Only the small place of Hongshaling is not enough, Hongshaling Zhongnan has already thought about it, it will be used as a rear logistics base, maybe it will be used in the future, but I am afraid it will not work in a short time.
Waving his hand, Chi Nan said to Lao Muka: "You call someone to go back and inform Hongshaling, take a break from the road outside, and tell them that we have brought back four thousand iron ingots this time." Also, gather the blacksmiths and keep them on standby. ”
