80: Tax-exempt
As expected, Raul, the aristocratic lords, couldn't stand it at first.
Because two days ago, Shangbao once again sent people to the surrounding territories to kidnap people, and captured many children and left, and the youngest son of one of the nobles was also taken captive.
After Raul communicated with other nobles, it was decided that he would go to Flying City to negotiate with Aslan on behalf of him, as for the others, it was not that Raul would not let them go, but that they didn't want to go, what soldiers would be brought, and the virtue of his subordinates, this Aslan was not very good.
Raul is also ready to fight a tug-of-war with Aslan, and must not let Aslan gain an inch.
Frey, who was a robber, at least maintained a certain gentlemanly demeanor in front of their nobles, and this Aslan, as a nobleman, was more scoundrel than the robbers.
The hall of the Flying Sky City City Lord's Mansion.
Looking at this city lord's mansion, which was so shabby, it was simply worse than the small attic where his servant lived.
"Tell me about the benefits you bring!" Aslan sipped his cup of tea, his gaze lingering outside the door.
Raul's face was very bad, but now he had to ask him, so he could only let go of the aristocratic reserve.
"That's the condition we offered? I hope you're satisfied. Raul shoved a scroll in front of Aslan.
Aslan pulled a look at it and nodded.
After the deed is completed, the caravans of Flying Sky City can do business in several major cities under their name, and they can be exempted from all taxes, and at the same time, those who enter these cities will never have to enter the city.
The materials include 50 war horses, 100 ploughing cattle, 50,000 catties of grain, and 150,000 gold coins.
"The conditions are acceptable, but I've been a little poor lately, plus 100,000 gold coins. Aslan smiled and said to Raul, Aslan valued the tax exemption more than Frey.
The caravans belonging to Flying Sky City have begun to be formed, and with the goods prepared now, they will definitely be popular throughout Andra State at that time, and at that time, this tax exemption order can at least save Aslan an unknown amount of gold.
I believe that this lord will definitely regret it when the time comes, as for adding an extra 100,000 gold coins, it is just a temporary idea of Aslan.
Hearing Aslan's increase in gold coins to 100,000, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, he had already prepared Aslan Lion's big mouth, but he didn't expect that it was just a few hundred thousand gold coins, and 100,000 gold coins were for one lord, or a lot, but for dozens of lords, it was still acceptable for a person to have a few thousand gold coins more.
"That's no problem! Raul smiled and took out a copy of the contract and handed it to Aslan.
After Aslan checked it, he nodded with a smile and signed his name, Raul saw Aslan's signature, and immediately put away the contract excitedly, as long as he signed the contract, he was not afraid that Aslan would regret it, unless his strength could surpass the contract goddess.
Raul put away the contract and prepared to leave, it was too shabby here, and the tea was very unpleasant, bitter and astringent, and he didn't know what to brew.
"Don't worry, Mr. Raul, the visitor is a guest, this is a small gift from my own Flying City, and I should thank Mr. Raul for not enduring the hardships of coming to our Flying City. Aslan snapped her fingers and Aunt Melia held a two-case mirror case in front of Raul.
Raul subconsciously glanced at it and said casually: "Thank you for the kindness of the city lord of Sara, I still have urgent matters, so forget about the gift." ”
In fact, Raul didn't look down on Aslan's gifts at all, the dignified city lord's mansion was so dilapidated, which showed how poor Aslan was, and what good gifts could such a poor lord have.
"Don't worry, Mr. Raul, you can take a look at things first. Aslan naturally saw Raul's prevarication.
Aunt Melia immediately understood, and opened the brocade box, a delicate and gorgeous necklace, inlaid with a never-before-seen gemstone, crystal clear, very beautiful.
The other box contained a bottle of a very beautifully colored liquid, which Raul was not uncommon.
It should be perfume.
"Is this a perfume?" Raul asked, a little unsure.
Aslan nodded.
"I'm a magician, and I make some perfume every month to supplement my family, and Mr. Raul will see if the smell is suitable. ”
Hearing Aslan's words, Laur's eyes suddenly looked in front of him, and he said politely, and his perception of Aslan instantly increased by N levels, and he was not in a hurry to leave as he was at the beginning, but sat down and chatted with Aslan, more often of which he was knocking on Aslan's perfume formula from the side.
Aslan naturally didn't say it, just said that an unexpected alchemy product, although the recipe had been memorized, it required a lot of materials and magic power, and the output was very low.
Although he could not get the expected answer, under this delicate necklace and stable perfume channel, Raul was the first to sign a trade agreement with Aslan, and the first city he hoped Aslan's caravan would go to was their Wales City.
..........................................................................................
Sending Raul away, the hall of the City Lord's Mansion fell silent for a moment, and Aslan was sitting there drinking the drink in his cup, which Thiago had just brought back from outside, and it tasted pretty good, similar to the hot cocoa on the earth.
As for the tea that just entertained Raul, it was the tea grown by Aslan with the Phoenix Single Cong Tea Seed that he exchanged for from the Endless Lord System with his faith points, and the seeds were those Song seeds, but there were no tea roasters, the technology was not up to par, not to mention the poor appearance, and the taste was not very good, it seems that next time I will ask the Endless Lord System to see if I can summon a professional tea roaster for him.
"Young Master, Mr. Thiago said he had brought a guest to meet you. A servant walked into the hall and bent over.
"Okay, I'll go meet them. Aslan put down the drink in his hand: "You can prepare some drinks and snacks for the guests now." When he walked out of the hall, Aslan also made a special explanation.
"Yes!"
At the gates of the Lord's Mansion, Thiago was chatting with a man who looked like a merchant.
"Our lord will be here soon, you can wait a minute. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
Aslan's figure appeared at the gate, and he looked at the chubby merchant in front of him with a little surprise.
The merchant saw Aslan and saluted enthusiastically: "Mr. Aslan, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be a city lord, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
"Mr. Shiram, why are you here. Aslan looked at the merchant in front of him in surprise, and his eyes looked at Thiago on the side.
Thiago explained: "Lord City, the one I told you who was willing to make a deal with our Stormwind City was Mr. Shiram's Hundred Refining Chamber of Commerce, and it was only after I went there this time that I learned that their representative was actually Mr. Shiram. ”
"Then let's go inside, please. Aslan took Shiram and walked in.
Shiram looked at Aslan's somewhat humble City Lord's Mansion, but there was no mockery or contempt on his face, he said respectfully: "City Lord, do you know, now the whole south is rumored that Frey, the cancer that broke into the south, was killed in Flying Sky City, Lord Aslan. ”
Aslan looked at Thiago, who nodded. Aslan didn't expect the news to spread throughout the southern Andhra region so quickly.
Aslan smiled: "I didn't expect everyone to know about this little thing so quickly." ”
Shiram shook his head and said, "This is not a trivial matter, Frey's Fan Bone Village has not only breached one city in the south, but every city that has been breached, except for the women and young people who are willing to take refuge in them, the other people have been slaughtered completely, which can be said to be mad and extremely cruel. Despite this, the various aristocratic city lords in the south only care about the things in front of their own doors, no one said anything to exterminate the robbers and bandits, and some just said not to do it, this time it was even more outrageous, and they actually asked those executioners of Fan Gu Village to come forward to crusade against the merchant fort, which was simply to lure the wolf into the house. ”
Aslan just walked and listened.
