"What is it?"

Sissi was not short of money, but she had never made any money, so she was full of interest in Downton's proposal, she wanted to be praised by her father, she wanted to prove her worth, not a vase.

"You're going to do the arms trade? Be careful of being played with until you don't have any bones left. Perrin sneered and said to the princess, "Your Highness, we have an arms company in our country, and if you do it, you will be robbing your compatriots for food." ”

"No, according to what you say, if your compatriots do business, others can't do it?" Sissi is not so easy to deceive, at this age, she has learned to think independently.

"The arms business is not the same as normal. "There's so much shady going on here, and Perrin really doesn't dare tell Sissi.

"How is it different?"

The main theme of the Western Earth Continent is war, so Sissi is not afraid of this.

"His Majesty's involvement in this trade has failed. ”

The water inside the Lombard Union is also very deep, and Perrin is vaguely reminding Sissi that what your father can't do, you did it in vain, but he didn't expect this sentence to have a completely counterproductive effect.

"Yes, then I should do it, I will definitely succeed, and impress my father. Sissi waved her fist and looked at Downton with a fierce gaze, "What are your plans?"

"Twilight, do you want to take a stake?"

Downton makes a waiting gesture and asks Twilight.

"I don't have any money!"

Twilight simply refuses.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, it's okay to have you. ”

Jokes, don't say that Twilight's words are prevarication, even if she doesn't have a penny, Downton will use the benefits to tie her to the chariot, her own potential. It's worth the investment.

"Okay, but I only have 100,000 gold coins for private money!"

Twilight acquiesces, and she wants to see how far Downton can go, she knows more about the young man than she knows about the young man, not to mention the Homer assistant.

"My army is idle. It can be used as a caravan escort, and the salary is very cheap. Downton made a joke and invited everyone out of the weapons shop.

"Did we start with the Lombard League? I'm a princess, and I'm talking here. Sissi also knew that if you want to do business, you must have a good relationship with the official.

"Although Lombardy is one of the nine empires, the market has long been carved up, and the people who buy arms are basically the military department, and the forces in this are intertwined. If you pull your teeth out, you will shake your father's rule. ”

Downton shook his head.

"It's that I'm thinking it's too simple. ”

Sissi doesn't have the temper of an ordinary princess, and it's easy to listen to others' advice.

"Where do you need weapons? Of course, it's a place where there are constant wars, and the first market we choose must be far away from the Nine Great Empires, so that those old arms dealers have limited power, and even if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, they will be beyond their reach. Downton organized the language in his head. Eloquent.

"What about talent? Who do you want to sell? Your native soldiers who can't even count ten?"

Perrin scoffed.

"The most important thing in this world is talent, and it is hired with a lot of money. There are definitely people who eat this bowl of rice. ”

Downton looked at Sissi and complimented, "With the reputation of the Bavarian Rose, I believe that many people are willing to work without a salary." ”

"Praise it. ”

Sissi was embarrassed.

"Hmph, what about logistics and transportation, can you rest assured that you will hand over the arms to other caravans?"

Perrin saw that Sissi seemed more and more interested. In a hurry, racking his brains to mess up Downton's plan.

"No, of course it's our own, as I said, the last thing we lack is guards. When logistics is established, even if it does not deliver arms, logistics itself is a lucrative business. ”

"What do you mean?"

Sissi and Perrin are puzzled, and Twilight looks thoughtful.

Downton was just about to elaborate, when he suddenly remembered that the trade in the Western Continent was no different from the Middle Ages in the dream, here, all the big companies that could do cross-border trade belonged to the wealthy nobles, who not only transported their own goods, but also spared no effort to fight other caravans, wishing that there was only one caravan in the whole world.

"What the hell are you thinking?"

Homer's telephony.

"This idea is not right, logistics exists, which can accelerate the flow of goods and the prosperity of trade, not caravans attached to trade, but trade parasitic on logistics, of course, it can also transmit intelligence and so on. ”

Downton is not a professional after all, but roughly speaking, it also makes Homer understand that logistics companies are definitely profitable.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Sissi asked.

"I think he has no ink on his chest, and if he says it, he will show his ugliness. ”

Perrin continues to fight Downton, trying to make the princess feel bad about him.

"I'll write a detailed plan, and you need to sign a contract, otherwise you'll leave me alone, and I'll have to cry to death." ”

Downton didn't argue with Palin.

"Okay!"

Sissi swallowed her curiosity.

"Even if you say it's possible, is the logistics so easy to set up?"

Lao Bu received Perrin's eyes and retorted with his own insight.

"Even if Sissi is a princess, some big nobles can also disobey you and make you stumble, this is still in Lombardy, and in other countries, it is estimated that the toll can send you bankrupt. ”

Sissi and Twilight frowned, now the various countries are still divided into feudal systems, not to mention the vehicle and vessel tax, the nobles have complete tax autonomy in their respective territories, and some greedy guys even have to take away the right of the first night.

If Downton is ruthless, all the girls in the West who are newly married must be sent to his bed first, and let him possess the first time, which is the right of the first night.

"We're buying from the dwarves, and when we leave, it's Saint Laurent, and my sister's mentor is Andrea of the Guise family, so we can open the door. ”

Downton explained, "You can go straight to my territory. ”

"And then?"

Perrin asked, but his heart was chuckled, he didn't expect Downton to know one of the heirs of the Guise family, it seems that he still underestimated this guy.

"Of course, he sold the goods to the orcs, but the eldest brother is the boss of Barak, and I heard that he has recently become a big merchant. ”

Hu Tao snorted.

"Barak, the new orc merchant?"

Perrin was stunned. Seeing Hu Tao nodding, his eyes immediately became excited, in the past year or so, a minotaur named Barak suddenly became prosperous in the sunset prairie, making a lot of money, and various families checked his origin and background. I didn't expect it to be Downton standing behind him.

Someone has followed the clues to find Downton, but this kid was just an unknown commoner before, who would believe that he had such a huge amount of money?

"He's a friend of Downton. ”

Hu Tao was too familiar with Barak, and every time the honest Minotaur came to the West, he would bring her a lot of gifts.

"We sell weapons to orcs, it's considered an enemy, right?"

In her bones, Sissi treats orcs as hostile aliens.

"There are good people among the orcs, not to mention that the orcs are fighting, and if one dies, there will be one less. Besides, in addition to weapons, we can sell iron pots and the like. ”

Downton smiled, although Barak had become a rich man, the relationship between the two was still very close.

That afternoon at the Golden Ivory Tavern, Downton beat the son of Grande, the first merchant in Morningfog, for him, and Barak will never forget it.

"We can establish a business route first and develop slowly. ”

Downton hesitated to throw his hole cards.

"Okay. The last question is even if you succeed in establishing a business path. The trade route is so long, not counting the wear and tear along the way, it will take at least a few months to walk once, how many gold coins can you earn?"

Perrin snorted coldly, "Don't forget, I'm also born in a big family. You are familiar with commercial trade, and even if you sell an excellent level weapon, you will not achieve a 300% profit. ”

"Yes, just like ocean trade, it takes about half a year at a time. Even a year, but the goods they carry are scarce in the West, worth 10,000 gold, even if you lose a few cargo ships on the way, the gold coins earned back are enough to make up for the loss, but your weapons are not good. ”

Twilight is sensible, not overwhelmed by Downton's rhetoric, and is eager to throw money in at once.

"So everything is in the air?"

Sissi was devastated and devastated

"After all, the arms trade is not the only business of the dwarves, other people can also produce, even if the quality is poor, they can be sold, why do you have to suffer this sin? ”

Perrin secretly rejoiced that Downton's plan was about to die, "If you want me to say, why don't you spend money to get a few ships and do long-distance trade on the Eastern Continent? Silk and porcelain are popular goods in our place." ”

"Well, I have a secret, and all these plans are based on it. ”

Downton sighed secretly, Twilight is really not easy to deal with, she is too serious to do things, even if it is a small amount of 100,000 gold coins, she does not want to be wasted.

"What's the secret?"

Women have never had much resistance to the word secret, not to mention Sissi looking at Downton expectantly, even Twilight is a little curious.

"I've got a steam airship, and now there are two that can take off!"

Downton raised his two index fingers and shook them.

"What?"

Perrin was shocked, as the successor of the family's full cultivation, he was definitely an elite, so in just a moment, he thought of the great significance of the airship.

"You're talking about the kind of big ship that can fly in the air?"

Lao Bu asked, gesturing subconsciously with his hands and feet, "Steam airship, isn't that a sign of the era of big goblins?"

"Yes!"

Downton nodded, glancing at Palin, how is it?

"I also have two airships at home, which cost a billion dollars, but it's really good to travel with them, they're fast, they're comfortable, and they save a lot of time. ”

As the richest Bavarian family, there is nothing that Sissi has not seen.

"We can form an airship caravan, and those lords' tax collectors can't fly to the sky to collect our taxes, right?"

Downton smiled, "Even if there is a big lord and a flying demonic beast, I can let the bone dragon cruise, and I will try it if I am not afraid of death." (To be continued......)
