Chapter 109 International Trade

What does it mean to have no fear?

That's the!

Everyone is the boss of Sigma, and if you have Sigma direct protection, the neuropathy will get you at this point in time.

Martin's face turned black into carbon: "The ghost only sells you!" Tell you, either you don't sell it, or if you want to sell it, you will change to the position of the emperor of the Rick Empire and sit down." You, the half-hung emperor, have a fart to sell later. ”

Martin is also farting when he says this, and with him, an outsider, it is impossible to sit on the throne of the emperor of the Rick Empire. And what Bakaria advocates most is the battle of justice, which is commonly known as the battle of chivalry. It's okay to fight a foreigner, as long as you have a good reason to get by, even if you go to war with the dwarves.

But humanity is hard enough, and if you want a civil war between humans, unless there is an absolute reason, such as the Rick Empire invading Bakaria, or opening a massacre against humanity, it will definitely not work in Bakaria.

You don't even need to assemble a large army, as long as you dare to announce in front of a few knights that you want to do this, the knights over there will draw their swords on the spot, slaughter you in the name of protecting the righteousness of mankind, and then plead guilty to the people and the king themselves, and finally commit suicide and follow you, GG.

Karna, the woman, is the one who has the right taste for the Bakaria and specializes in flirting with Martin.

In response to Martin's return, Karna's blue eyes were full of smart smiles.

"Yo, Martin, you don't really look like a Bakarian. Neither like the old-fashioned knight lords, nor like the insatiable interior officials. Well, you're qualified. Karna handed Martin a scroll.

"What is this?"

"My warrant. You can use it to withdraw 30,000 Rick Gold from Sigma's envoy ship. They're all yours. ”

It's a bit of a bunker.

According to the Millennium Pact between Bakaria and Rick, based on the same human kingdom, the currencies of the two countries can be exchanged at a ratio of 1:1.

In Bakaria, to raise a 120-man squadron of sword and shield infantry, 350 golden pegasus are needed. This includes the settling-in allowance (life money), equipment costs, and two months of training for these professional soldiers. In addition, there is a monthly maintenance fee of about 50 Golden Pegasus, which includes the soldier's salary, soldier replenishment, food, and equipment renewal and maintenance.

Over the course of a year, a team of full-professional sword and shield soldiers who only serve the lord will be sent off for a thousand gold.

This is just a benchmark, and the higher the rank, the higher the cost of formation and maintenance.

Karna now threw out 30,000 gold coins in one go, which means that Martin can directly form a standard Bakaria Knights of 1,000 people.

At a time when King Keane, the dead poor ghost, couldn't come up with the money to give Martin a turnover, this was life-saving money.

Martin was happy, but he was not carried away: "Karna, can you tell me, what kind of money is this?"

Karna's eyes rolled, and she was a little unhappy: "Hmph, isn't a future imperial empress worth 30,000 gold coins?"

Martin smiled wryly: "It's worth it! Of course it's worth it." ”

Karna showed a relaxed expression: "Yo, of course I know that saving lives cannot be measured by money. But that's all the money I can use, just a little thank you for saving my life in the Bloody Arena. ”

Well, you have big breasts, you have the final say.

Martin smiled and waited for the rest of the story.

"I also know that you are a pioneer leader, if you want to show your strength, 30,000 gold coins will definitely not be enough. Do you want to make more?"

Give Martin a huge sum of money first, and then get down to business.

Enough etiquette, enough sincerity, don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person, Martin has to listen to her proposal.

"You say. ”

"My people and I need food, no matter what type it is, as long as it's not stale grain from the bottom of the barn. I can buy it for twice the market price of Bakaria. I'm not a good politician, I'm not a good businessman, I only fight and war, and I look at people. ”

Karna looked Martin in the eye, "I don't mind telling you the truth. Because of the years of war, many fields in the Rick Empire were deserted. In the past, Rick City's food could still be supplied from the south, but unfortunately the south is too far away, and recently it has been disturbed by the orcs, and the food supply is gradually unable to keep up, and we need a new source of food. It can be said that there is as much food as there is.

She paused, "But I have one condition for this deal - it must be shipped directly to Rick City. On the city wharf, one hand to pay, the other hand to deliver, never in arrears. The fair will continue until the end of the Civil War, or if I lose Rick City. As for the rest, I don't care. ”

After Karna finished speaking, Martin touched his chin and fell into thought.

Looking at this deal alone, Martin definitely has a lot to offer.

100% profit is enough for any businessman to trample on all the laws of the world.

And the wholesale price is definitely lower than the market price, so the profit is more than doubled.

Here's the point: there's a huge risk to this deal, and that's that it's not safe on the road. If you take the land route, it is 300 kilometers to the border of the Rick Empire, and it is 400 kilometers to reach Rick City. Regardless of whether the previous journey will be disturbed by orcs, the last hundred kilometers alone are basically controlled by the rebels of the Rick Empire, which is enough to give Martin a headache.

Walking here is simply delivering food, and it is better to support the rebels.

The only safer thing is to take the river, first of all, you can save at least 200 kilometers on the journey. The bad thing is that the rebels also have warships. Maybe you can get through the trick once and a half, but after more than that, you will definitely be intercepted.

To put it bluntly, to open this route, it is necessary to have its own warship, and it is a fleet that is above the rebels.

"What ships do the rebels have?"

Hearing Martin get straight to the point, Karna smiled: "Nothing remarkable. There are less than ten small frigates of about 50 tons, each with two three-pounder guns. You can only run away from the river and scare the water thieves. ”

This is indeed a small ship, and the Rick Empire, as a country where most of its territory is landlocked, really does not need to form a fleet. After all, any fleet is a gold-swallowing monster. Moreover, as an inland river, the Rick River does not need to form too strong ships.

Now, this small fleet, which no one looks down on, has become a stumbling block preventing Martin from making a fortune.

This uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it.

If it was just for the small deal between Lorrainburg and Rick City, Martin would not have been so hot. But Lorrainburg was at the mouth of the sea, and he could turn Lorraine into a deep-water port and assemble a large fleet to transport the goods of the Rick Empire to the entire west coast of the continent.

You know, more than half of Bakaria's provinces are seaside!
