Chapter 353: Strategic Resources

Webster knew that the stable relationship between them and the Terrans was based on the current peace between the two sides, and the trade in living resources would not be restricted in Songhai City, but wherever strategic resources were involved, not to mention the strict prohibition of trade in weapons and equipment, even metal products were under strict control, even if it wanted to get a few iron woks, it would not be easy.

And it is impossible to get a large number of iron weapons and equipment from the hands of merchants, they may have a small amount of equipment for self-defense, but the amount is definitely not much, compared to the equipment used by the army of Songhai City, it is completely different, even if you get some, it is meaningless, if you really want to get a large number of high-quality weapons and equipment, you must go through official channels.

If it was still thinking of trying to get iron weapons and equipment, it has completely dispelled this idea by now, but...

At this time, in addition to laughing at Habakir, it was also looking forward to Shaoyang's response, the tiger and leopard clans had just given him a piece of land of tens of thousands of square kilometers, maybe for the sake of this, things had a slight turnaround.

"I wonder why Prince Habalk suddenly made this request, as far as I know, you orcs mainly use bone weapons, and not many iron weapons. In the face of Habakir's request, Shaoyang still maintained a smile on his face, and then pretended to be confused.

The reason why most orcs use bone weapons is not that they don't want iron weapons, but that the orc tribe simply doesn't have enough iron weapons, maybe at the high-end level, weapons made of demonic beast bones are not weaker than metal weapons, but high-level weapons are limited after all, and a large number of low-level orc warriors need a lot of iron weapons.

Not to mention Habakir, even Webster couldn't help but want to smack him in the face, where is it that they orcs like bone weapons, but you humans control the iron ore and smelting technology, and don't give orcs the opportunity to use iron weapons.

Of course, they can only think about this in their hearts, now they are asking for others, it is not good to offend Shaoyang, and Habakr can also hear that people are not really curious, but are euphemistically refusing their own requests, so they are going to bring this topic over with haha.

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw that His Royal Highness's personal guards were well-equipped, and my eyes were hot for a while, and I wanted to get a batch of equipment for my subordinates, and I could show off it well when I went back. Habakr only said that he was on a whim, and he did not mention the equipment again.

The other party is reasonable, Shaoyang feels that he is not stingy, a large number of weapons and equipment can improve the combat effectiveness of the orc army The request is impossible to agree, but it is still possible to send a few sets, and with the sophistication of the pro-guard suit, it is really good to give a gift, and I am worried that the two clans have sent a territory and don't know how to return the gift, which is a good choice.

Although that territory is used to buy a group of 100,000 catties of wine, the value of the territory is obviously too much, Shaoyang is really not so thick-skinned seriously, a house with dozens of sets of equipment, in general, it will not be too difficult to test.

"In this way, how about giving thirty sets of personal guard equipment to the three princes as gifts?"

Habakr has temporarily given up the idea of getting equipment, but he didn't expect things to turn around, although thirty sets is not much, but it is not too little, really according to what he just said, after arming his subordinates, he brought it back for a walk, absolutely eye-catching, and immediately thanked Shaoyang with Gascol. "More His Highness Shaoyang!"

Webster didn't expect that he even had a share of himself, so he suppressed his joy and followed to thank him, "More His Highness Shaoyang!"

Thirty sets of fine equipment were white, and they were even happier than throwing a group of wine in Donghe City, and the only thing that made it unhappy was that it always felt as if it had been stained with the light of Habakir, and it had to suffer a little idleness.

After that, the affairs of the tiger and leopard clans, Shaoyang handed over to those businessmen to deal with, and now the president of the Songhai City Chamber of Commerce is a member of several Chinese families such as the Xu family who supported him at the beginning, and more than half of the entire chamber of commerce is in their hands, of course, more than half of their family business belongs to Shaoyang.

But even so, compared to a few years ago, their wealth has skyrocketed at a terrifying rate, exceeding the accumulation of hundreds of years before.

Not to mention that a large number of family children occupy a place in the Northern Wilderness Collar and the army, and the head of the Xu family is the lord of Songhai City, and Xu Sanmu is the head of the Tuntian Legion.

Shaoyang even guaranteed that in the future, the city lord of Songhai City would only be born among them, which was not only a reward for them, but also a plan for Shaoyang to leave the Northern Wilderness Territory in the future.

After all, in addition to summoning military generals, only these few families can really be regarded as his cronies and elders, the city lords and family forces of the three cities of Donghe, Yangguan, and Wilderness must be behind, if you want to control the Northern Wilderness Territory, Songhai City is the key, and only by handing it over to them can Shaoyang rest assured.

This change made those family patriarchs rejoice in their choice that day, and they spared no effort to support Shaoyang.

The affairs of the tiger and leopard clans were handed over to the Songhai City Chamber of Commerce to deal with, Shaoyang was still quite relieved, for the sake of insurance, he still specially ordered to go down, and the living materials could meet the requirements of the two clans as much as possible, and the price should not be too black-hearted, but strategic resources such as iron tools must be strictly controlled.

After that, they didn't know much about how to discuss Shaoyang with each other, anyway, Habakkel's mood was very happy, and he gradually became a little unhappy in Songhai City, and he didn't even plan to leave with Webster for the time being.

In this regard, Shaoyang didn't care too much, just smiled, and asked the intelligence system controlled by Guo Jia to pay close attention to them, so as not to have accidents, the previous Wale incident actually scared Shaoyang, if there was any accident in the middle, Webster was likely to die in the Northern Wilderness, and no matter what the truth was, the lion clan would definitely not give up easily.

Not to mention anything else, at least the trade between the two clans must be damaged, thinking of the report on the trade between the two clans in the last quarter that he saw not long ago, Shaoyang felt that Guan is this point was enough to make his heart ache, this kind of good thing that he didn't have to do anything at all, and waited for the caravan to come back and collect taxes that could be comparable to other industries.

"Fengxiao, have the tiger and leopard clans privately found a way to buy iron equipment?" Shaoyang suddenly asked, it seemed that this was also the thing that the orcs were most likely to cause him trouble in Songhai City.

"In the first few days, I have paid attention to it, from the Songhai City Chamber of Commerce, it has not opened the opening, and it has actually tried to contact the merchants from other places, as for the result, at least don't expect to get them from the Northern Wilderness. Guo Jia's implication was that if merchants from other places smuggled iron to the two clans from other places, they would be helpless.
