Chapter 141: Unsuccessful Purchase at a Raised Price

"My lord, although the Xu family is nothing, but behind them should be the Third Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to offend them like this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Some staff members were worried.

Shaoyang's prestige is still very loud in the adjacent Tiemu City, especially in the first battle at the beginning of the year, repelling the army of 200,000 werewolves, which is even more terrifying.

"What Third Highness, it's just a stupid prince, even if he is not stupid now, he is also a degraded prince, what can he do to me? ”

Greg was actually a little worried, but he felt that Shaoyang's status in the Northern Chu Kingdom was not high, and what if he had an army in his hand to fight, he didn't believe that Shaoyang would dare to use force against Tiemucheng.

And the reason why he dared to embarrass the Xu family caravan, or say that it was difficult for Shaoyang, was not only because of the matter of Blackstone Castle. Not long ago, he mentioned from a friend who served in the Northern Legion that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince and the Sneik family were at odds with the third prince.

For the Sneike family, the top force in the kingdom, Greg has long had the idea of hugging his thighs, but there has been no way.

He thought to himself that if he was embarrassed by banning the sale of iron wood to the Xu family's caravan, he would be able to hug his thighs when the friend of the Northern Legion revealed some news in front of the commander of the Arthur Legion.

"Don't worry, sir, you might as well call them in and see them. Some of the staff members stopped Greg from driving people away, and most of the staff members also spoke out to persuade him.

They wanted to sell their favors to the Xu family's caravan, anyway, they just persuaded Greg to see them, there was no loss, and they could get more benefits if they had a deal again.

"Okay, then let them in. Greg thought about it, and decided that it didn't hurt to meet him.

Shaoyang and the others outside the City Lord's Mansion waited for a long time, but they didn't see the reported guards come out.

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, it seems that people don't want to see us very much. ”

Shaoyang was not in a hurry, and chatted with Guo Jia and joked: "Wait a minute, fortunately, Yide didn't follow, otherwise with his temper, he would definitely not be able to help but go in." ”

"Lord Castle Lord, let you in. At this time, the guard finally rushed out of the inside and informed Shaoyang that they could go in, but he glanced at it and said again: "There are too many of you, the main one will go in to meet the city lord, and the rest will stay outside." ”

Gleg didn't ask how many people had come outside, let alone how many people had been allowed in, but the guard had some experience and knew that if he let a dozen people in, he would probably be punished.

In the end, only Shaoyang, Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, and the caravan steward entered the city lord's mansion, and even so, the guard didn't plan to let him go at first, and only allowed it to come down after receiving a few more silver coins from the caravan steward.

"This city lord's mansion is quite rich. Shaoyang looked at the layout of the City Lord's Mansion along the way, which was much more gorgeous than the City Lord's Mansion in Songhai City and Wilderness City, only the City Lord's Mansion in Donghe City could be compared, but it was still slightly inferior.

Entering the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, the banquet on the table had not been removed, and Greg and several staff members still took a sip of wine from time to time.

"I've seen the lord of the castle. The caravan steward saluted respectfully, while the three of Shaoyang only bowed their hands slightly, this scene was very eye-catching, and immediately attracted the attention of Greg and the others.

"What are you asking to see the lord of this city for?" said Greg in a cold tone, expressing his dissatisfaction.

The steward of the caravan said: "My Xu family needs to buy a large amount of ironwood for more than twenty years, but several families in your city do not have enough supplies, so they have to come to see the city lord, hoping to buy the required ironwood from the adults, and the price can be increased by one or two percent compared with the market price." ”

Behind the scenes, Greg forbade the sale of ironwood to Songhai City, but on the surface, it was all under the pretext that there was no supply, and it was difficult for the caravan steward to directly say the actual situation, so it would be even more difficult to discuss.

"Oh," Greg replied, but said no more, and fell silent. He didn't expect that the person who came was quite acquainted, and he didn't directly ask him to withdraw the order, but asked to buy ironwood euphemistically, which he didn't need for a while if he thought it would be difficult.

"If the price increase of one or two percent is not enough, the city lord can quote a price, as long as it is reasonable, it can be discussed. ”

"It's not a matter of price, it's true that there aren't many ironwood in the forest that is more than 20 years old in the forest cut down this year, I don't know what you want that ironwood for, if it's really urgent, I can consider moving some of it out." ”

When he heard that the price was raised again, Greg moved in his heart, no one would dislike having a lot of money, if he could find out the reason why Songhai City needed to be on the vintage ironwood, I believe that he could also get the Sneek family.

"My lord, this is a trade secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose it below. ”

"In that case, please go back, there is really no extra ironwood more than twenty years old in this city. Seeing that the caravan steward refused to tell the reason, Greg immediately ordered the expulsion, and he was ready to take the other party again, but it was not himself who was in a hurry.

When the caravan steward didn't know what to do, he heard Shaoyang's cough behind him, so he didn't stop, and the four of them turned around and left.

"It seems that the latter are the ones who call the shots. Greg naturally noticed it, and from the very beginning, he found that Shaoyang and the others were higher than the steward, and said uneasily: "They shouldn't give up easily, send someone to follow, I want to know their plans." ”

At present, only twenty ballistas have been built in Songhai City, and the trained ballista soldiers are powerful, and even Zhang Fei, who has always been unruly, does not dare to despise them after seeing them, so Shaoyang is determined to win Tiemu.

This visit to Greg is just to test it, if you can buy ironwood, it will naturally be a good thing, even if you spend more money, it doesn't matter, but Greg didn't let go, he had to find another way.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Shaoyang and the others did not leave Tiemu City and found an inn to settle in.

"Your Majesty, do you want to get rid of those tails?" Zhou Cang, who had been silent, asked Shaoyang for instructions, his palm crossed his neck, and made a gesture, where did the subordinates sent by Greg to follow escape the eyes of Shaoyang and the others, and they were discovered as soon as they appeared.

"No need, they are also acting on orders, as long as there is no ill intention, let them follow if they want to follow. Shaoyang waved his hand and rejected Zhou Cang's proposal, he is not a person who loves to kill, not to mention that those who follow are all human races, and they are not guilty of death.

Shaoyang: "Fengxiao, what do you think of that city lord, can the purchase of ironwood go smoothly?"

"It may be difficult to get the lord to change his mind, not only does he want to prevent us from buying Ironwood, but he also seems to be interested in the reasons for this, so that even if the lord reveals his identity, it may not be useful. ”
