Chapter 62: Negotiation

"Lord Claude, Lord Marsahar has made it clear to His Majesty Baz that you in Blackstone City want to make a grain deal with our people, and His Majesty Bazz has reported this transaction to the elders of the Council of the Round Table, and after discussion among the elders, they have decided that we can try to make a grain deal with you, and General Aug and I have been sent by His Majesty Baz to discuss with you about the details of the deal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the dwarven mage Blue in a gray robe.

"Thank you to His Majesty Buzz and the elders of the Council of the Round Table for agreeing to a deal between us, and I believe that this trade will foster friendly relations between Rift Rock and Blackstone. Meng Fan said with a smile.

"Lord Claude, although you are the lord of the two cities of Blackstone and Coldwater, the decision to trade grain with us should be your own mind, King Gilgias, and the Holy See of Light will not allow you to trade with our people privately..."

"That's right, the Holy See of Light does not allow the Human Kingdom to come into contact with the Dwarves, but Lord Blue, it is not the representative of the Gilgian royal family who is here today, nor the disciples of the Holy See of Light, but my Lord of Blackstone City, Claude Kuru. Meng Fan looked at the dwarven mage in front of him. "Lord Blue, His Majesty the King and the Holy See of Light have nothing to do with our deals. ”

"However, Lord Claude, I am afraid that the trade between us will go smoothly, you are only a lord of the Kingdom of Gilgias, and you must obey the orders of the King of Gilgias and the Holy See of Light. Blue said.

"Lord Blue, the affairs of the king and the Holy See, Lord Claude will take care of it, since Lord Claude is going to trade with the dwarves, of course you have to think about these things, after all... When the king and the Holy See are to blame, it will only be Lord Claude who will be punished, not your people..."

"You can solve the affairs between you and humans, in short, our trading place is in this redstone forest, you bring the grain, and we will send the iron ore you want. Ogg, the dwarven warrior standing beside Blue, said loudly.

The grain trade between Meng Fan and the dwarves was not settled by gold coins, and the gold coins commonly used by the nine kingdoms of mankind were not used by the dwarves in the Fallen Pine Hills, so Meng Fan asked Mar Saha to tell the dwarves to trade with iron ore.

The dwarves are a race that is very good at mining ores, and there are all kinds of rich ore veins in the Luosong hills, and the dwarves can get the iron ore that Meng Fan needs.

"Haha, I really appreciate General Auger's straightforwardness. Meng Fan laughed, "Then let's talk about the specific details of the transaction now." Meng Fan motioned to Tiberius behind him to take out two pieces of parchment, and wrote the details of the transaction on the parchment.

"You have to exchange a meal of grain for twenty tons of iron ore!" After listening to the transaction price given by Meng Fan's side, Og's eyes widened, "Yes, General Og, there is also a shortage of grain in many parts of our Gilgia Kingdom, originally our Black Rock City was not worried about the sale of grain, but if it can be exchanged for iron ore, I am willing to provide a thousand tons of grain for your people every year." Meng Fan said.

"But it's not fair to us to exchange one meal of grain for twenty tons of iron ore, in the human kingdom, one meal of grain can only be exchanged for two tons of iron ore at most. The dwarven magician Blue said that although he lived in the Fallen Pine Hills, the dwarves also knew something about the human kingdom.

"Your Excellency, the price of a commodity cannot be determined by its value in the place of origin, and in the kingdom of men, a meal may only be worth this price, but in the Fallen Pine Hills, grain should be much rarer than iron ore. Tiberius, who was standing beside Meng Fan, spoke.

"You dwarves are very good at mining ore, and there are also abundant veins in the Fallen Pine Hills, and mining 10,000 tons of iron ore a year is not a difficult task for the dwarves. Tiberi said as he looked at the dwarven mage Blue.

"As a token of my sincerity in the bargain between the two sides, General Auger, Lord Blue, I am willing to provide your people with an additional hundred barrels of fine and fresh wine each year. Meng Fan continued.

"Wine!" Hearing Meng Fan's words, Og's eyes suddenly brightened, the dwarf clan loves to drink This is a well-known thing in the Qinglan Continent, but in the Fallen Pine Hills, there is only wine made from wheat, and the Fallen Pine Hills where the dwarves live are too cold and not suitable for the growth of grape vines, so it is naturally impossible to make wine, and the dwarves are very yearning for the mellow wine consumed most in the human kingdom.

"Lord Claude, are you really willing to give us a hundred barrels of wine every year for free?" Auge asked Meng Fan in a loud voice, "That's right, General Auger, a hundred barrels of wine and grain are shipped to you every year. Meng Fan replied equally loudly.

"Haha, then our deal is done. Ogle stretched out his hand to Meng Fan, who shook hands with the dwarven warrior from the Fallen Pine Hills.

Soon after, "General Auger, Your Excellency Blue, I am very pleased to be able to have this pleasant meeting with both of you. Meng Fan, who was on a horse, said goodbye to the two dwarven representatives.

"Lord Claude, I hope you will keep your promise and deliver both food and wine to the Redstone Forest as agreed. Blue said as he looked at the black-haired man on horseback.

"Lord Blue, I swear to the great God of Light that I, Claude Kuru, will abide by the contract I have signed with the Dwarves. Meng Fan raised his right hand and said sincerely, seeing Meng Fan's sworn appearance, the dark mage Mar Saha who was riding a horse on the side showed a smile in his blood-red eyes.

Half an hour later, Meng Fan, Tiberius, Mar Saha and the others walked out of the Red Rock Forest.

"Tiberius, have you calculated how much gold we can earn each year by trading with the dwarves?" asked Meng Fan, who was riding on a horse.

"Lord Claude, in the Kingdom of Gilgias, a meal of grain can be sold for about ten gold coins, the price of iron ore in the Kingdom of Gilgias is about five gold coins per ton, and we exchange a thousand tons of grain for 20,000 tons of iron ore with the dwarves, and we can get 100,000 gold coins every year. Tiberius replied.

A thousand tons of grain can only be sold for 10,000 gold coins a year in the Gilgidian Kingdom, but after exchanging iron ore from the dwarves, it can be sold for 100,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to a tenfold increase in the entire area.

"Mar Saha, how much iron ore can the dwarves mine every year?" Meng Fan turned his head to look at the dark mage Mar Saha, "I don't know how much, but Lord Claude, with the dwarven mining technology, it must produce more than 10,000 tons of iron ore every year." Marzahar replied.

"That's great, if the deal goes well, we can expand the trading volume with the dwarves, even if there is no surplus grain to trade in Coldwater City, Giant Wood City, and Black Rock City, we can still go to other places to buy grain..." Meng Fan said excitedly.

"Mistress Claude, I don't recommend that you do this. Tiberius on the side said, "Trading with the Dwarves was originally hidden from His Majesty the King and the Holy See of Light, and if we buy grain in the Kingdom of Gilgias to trade with the Dwarves, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the royal family or the Holy See." ”

"Lord Claude, I agree with Lord Tiberius. Marsahar also spoke, looking at the two beside him, "Well, Tiberius, what you say makes sense, then we'll keep this volume going until the future... Meng Fan nodded.
