Chapter 343: Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce

Quickly cut through the mess, Lorist set the bottom line of the truce in a few words, and the rest was left to Duke Kenmeth to negotiate slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven if the Four Northland Alliances were the victorious side, they would not actually be able to force the Fisabrun family to sign a humiliating surrender treaty. This is the world of Gelinthia, not Lorlist's previous life, just like the conditions put forward by Lorlist, it is already very excessive.

Generally speaking, in the continent of Gelintia, two families are at war, and the defeated side pays a large amount of money, and if there is no money, it can cede the territory, if it is not in installments to the victor, plus interest, of course. Lorist does not need the Fisabrun family to lose money, on the contrary, it monopolizes the trade routes, and the funds in the Fisabrun family's territory will be slowly sucked by the high-priced goods of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, which is the long-term way to make money.

Even after the armistice was signed, Lorist would not let his guard down on the Fisabrun family. I really thought that as soon as the armistice agreement was signed, everything would be fine, and peace would come, then I was kicked in the brain by a donkey. It's just that the signing of the armistice agreement can allow the Fisabrun family to retreat for hundreds of miles, and the two points of stationing troops in Makinohara Province are the most important, at least increasing the reaction time of the change, and at the same time compressing the strategic maneuver space of the Fisabrun family.

Two days later, Duke Kenmeth showed Lorist the proposed armistice agreement, except for the so-called war between the four alliances of the Northland and the Fisabrun family due to a misunderstanding at the beginning, like the Fisabrun family's armed retreat for a hundred miles, the border garrison of the four northland alliances must be notified before any action. In the same way, if the garrisons on the border of the four northlands have any action, they should also inform the Fisabrun family to avoid misunderstandings.

"But what is the requirement that no regular field regiments be stationed in the two border areas, and only garrison troops can be deployed?" Lorist asked.

Duke Kenmeth hurriedly explained: "The Aridok steward of the Fisabrun family and the deputy envoy Napler insist on the principle of fairness and reciprocity, they say that the Fisabrun family has retreated a hundred miles in arms, but our four alliances in the north have deployed the Rock Corps on the border of the Southern Province and the Eastern Wilderness Province, which makes it difficult for them to sleep, so they insist that only garrison-based troops can be deployed on the border of the two families, and no offensive regular field corps can be deployed. I thought it didn't matter if we had a truce, so I agreed to their request. ”

"You're going to give me trouble. Lorist glared at the smiling Duke Kenmeth and ordered: "Jenorio, I will send a copy of this armistice agreement to Bodfinger, and tell him that from today onwards, the Rock Legion will be renamed the Rock Garrison Legion, and it will call itself a local garrison, and the actual treatment will remain the same." By the way, the cost of changing the flag will be reimbursed by this guy. ”

Duke Kenmax shrugged, spread his hands, and muttered, "You're too stingy, and you won't pay out of your own pocket for a hundred goldfords......"

Lorist ignored him, continued to look down, and the next were all commercial terms, to put it mildly, as long as this armistice agreement was signed, the Fisabrun family would be as small as a grain of salt and a piece of paper, as big as a cow and a horse, and all transactions would have to be carried out through the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. Just like the value of the materials and commodities they purchased this time was only more than 600,000 yuan, and in previous years, they sold a maximum of about 800,000 goldfords, but this time they had to bleed heavily, and the price doubled to about 2 million goldfords......

In business, this guy Kenmax is still very reliable, this guy's favorite thing is to be a second-hand dealer, and he is happy to do such a transaction with his left hand in and right hand out, and at most he will take some saliva and help transport the goods by the way. Rather than like Lorlist, who likes to open a production base in the family domain. According to his words, production not only requires investment but also very risky, the goods can not be sold to press the goods is a problem, the production cost is a high price will lose the competitiveness with other similar goods, and from time to time to invest in the development of new products or improve the quality, in short, it is a lot of trouble, how can he be so easy to resell.

When he saw the last agreement, Lorist was a little dissatisfied: "Why, the Fisabrun family refuses to hand over the entire Makinohara Province?"

"There's no way, I'm so dry of my saliva that I say, they are just willing to use the Sochus River as the boundary, the territory to the north belongs to us, and the territory to the south belongs to them, and the territory of Makinohara Province is divided into two, and said that we occupy more than half of the territory of Makinohara Province enough to ensure the safety of the Northland. I've tried my best, but I can't convince them, so I'll leave this agreement to you. Duke Kenmeth made a helpless expression.

This is indeed the territory of Makinohara, which is equivalent to almost two-thirds of the area of Makinohara. It's just that at the beginning of the war, most of this territory had already been swept by the hunting cavalry several times, and there were no people for thousands of miles, and the traces of people in Wanjing were very vividly described. The Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment of the Fisabrun clan was defeated in successive battles after being attacked by the Chaser Legion, and the remnants of the defeated army escorted the people to retreat across the Sochus River and defended the river until the Grand Duke of Fisabrun led more than 100,000 barbarian cavalry to set up an ambush and defeat the Chasseura Legion before recovering Makinohara Province. Now the terms of the agreement are just to restore the situation to the situation before the defeat of the Huntsman.

It seems that this should be the bottom line of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, anyway, the territory north of the Sochus River in the recovered Makinohara Province has been abandoned, and it is better to give up as a concession, which can also show the sincerity of the Fisabrun family to sign an armistice agreement. Lorist pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Then so be it, let them sign this armistice." ”

"There's one more problem. Duke Kenmax asked, "How many years are we going to sign this armistice?"

The armistice is time-limited, and it is only a guarantee that two rival clans or alliances swear in the name of the god of war to avoid conflicts and acts of war as much as possible, with a time limit. If the two sides have strengthened their friendship and eliminated hostilities, then they can sign a peace agreement, no longer regard each other as enemies, and the two sides can resume free trade and personnel exchanges, and they can reduce the garrison on the border to save armaments.

Lorist smiled: "Let the two envoys take it back and ask the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to decide, if he wants to sign it, we will sign it for a few years." One year or three years, we don't care how long the Fisabrun family thinks it will take to recover enough to retaliate against us. As long as they dare to do it, we can still teach them a deeper lesson. It can even make them even more painful, which is where the confidence of our four Northland alliances lies. ”

Duke Kenmeth was enthusiastically boiled by Lorlist's bold words, and was full of confidence: "Okay, then I'll tell them the truth, let them reply to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, they can sign for a few years if they want, we don't care." It's just that the next time they defeat us, the price of our goods will not be so cheap, at least it will have to be tripled......"

After speaking, Duke Kenmath walked to the door with great dignity, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, and returned to Lorist with a straight face: "That, Locke, let me ask, Baron Schreider wrote to me that it is true that your family will sell a large number of new large ocean-going armed merchant ships?"

Belch...... Can't you finish your business first and then talk about private matters?" But Lorist still nodded: "It's true, the family has streamlined the sea legion and deleted a large number of large, medium and small merchant ships and sea ships. ”

"The deleted ones are ready for a big sale?"

"No, I will make this announcement at the New Year's celebration at the end of this year, opening North Sea City, Cow Horn Bay and Hilois Island at the same time, putting these surplus ships up for auction, allowing nobles and merchants to form their own chambers of commerce to engage in maritime trade and fish......ing," Lorist explained.

"Oh, that's right......" Duke Kenmas looked a little disappointed: "I originally wanted to take all your deleted ships and sell them, but I didn't expect you to have such an idea." ”

"Hehe......" Lorist laughed, "believe it or not, these ships will be in high demand? I'm worried that there won't be enough for the auction, and you still want to make a profit?" But I think you can also invest in these chambers of commerce, or form your own chamber of commerce for maritime trade. ”

"In addition, I am not familiar with this aspect of the Chamber of Commerce, and second, I don't have the feeling of safety and security that I can rely on with you, so I am not ready to fight this idea. The Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce is enough for me to toss, and besides, the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce can also get involved in maritime trade. Our family's order at your Cow Horn Bay shipyard is actually my father's plan to form his family's sea trading caravan. However, if he wants to buy goods, he can't get around our Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, and I will give him a little discount at most, and there is no way to get a big bargain if he wants to......" Duke Kenmax looked proud.

Looking at Duke Kenmeth, who was ready to earn money from his father, Lorist was also speechless. But I have to admit that this guy is a very smart guy and knows the benefits of holding his thighs tightly. The Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce was run by Duke Kenmax alone, half of his shares and half of the dividends, the other half of which were 20 percent each owned by Count Philim and Earl Shahin, and 10 percent of the dry shares were taken by Lorlist. Originally, the three companies each held 30% of the shares, but later Philim and Shaheen felt embarrassed to take it for nothing, and each gave 10% of the dry shares to Kenmath, and handed over all the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to Kenmax to be responsible.

This was originally just a small joke to build a chamber of commerce, but I did not expect that under the painstaking management of Kenmeth, it has developed into the largest chamber of commerce in the northeast, and the total annual trade volume has reached two or three million gold fords, which has become an important interest link connecting the four northlands. For the two families of Count Philim and Count Shaheen, who are not very financially good, the annual dividends of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce have become a very important source of income for their family. And Duke Kenmax also earned a lot of money from the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, so much so that he was able to give nearly a million gold coins and materials to help the Philim family and the Shahin family when the territory was exchanged.

A conversation between Duke Kemmers and his father reached Lorlist's ears through the mouth of a Volibell intelligence agent. It was Kenmax's father who asked Kenmath if he should have given up the family business in order to run the Snow Salt Chamber. Kenmeth this guy immediately took out the account book to make his father look gloomy, this guy means that the current business of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce is so big, it has long exceeded several times the family business, to be honest, he is used to the transaction of millions of goldfords, and the family's business that is less than one million together should not be conspicuous.

His father was angry, no matter how small the family's business is, it is also the Kenmas family, and you make such a big loss in the business of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, half of the profits are made for others, and sometimes he suffers a little more to make up for Count Philim and Count Shaheen, and gives them the dividends in whole amounts, and even he runs the Chamber of Commerce alone and refuses to make some false accounts to greed for some profits......

Duke Kenmez laughed, saying that his father was too old to distinguish the situation, and that the four major families of the Northland had become a powerful alliance together. Among the four families, the Kenmax family is actually the weakest, and they don't even have as much money as the Norton family. Those three willing to carry it are already good luck, and they want to do their best to run the chamber of commerce by themselves. In fact, if you really want to do business, there are still few insiders, and the three can hire someone to run the chamber of commerce, leaving aside the Kenmasse family, so that the dividends can be more.

Since the three of them trust themselves, they will not let them down. Look at your family's business, even if it is a big business of one million, in addition to the cost of capital, you have to bow your head and bribe those nobles to pull relationships, even if you can earn a profit of more than 300,000 yuan, it will fall into the hands of the family after being offered everywhere is less than 100,000 or even less, and if you are unlucky, you will either be in arrears or in vain, and there is nowhere to talk about your suffering.

Look at the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, with the Norton family, the Philim family and the Shahin family behind their backs, the strong strength does not need to whisper everywhere to beg grandpa to tell grandma like their own family's business, so that even those places where the four alliance forces of the Northland have not arrived, when it comes to the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, those nobles are also respectful, and they trade in a proper manner without any crooked ideas, such a business is much more comfortable than the family business, and no matter how hard and tired Ken Math is, he is also willing. What's more, Kenmax is very confident that with the expansion of the four forces in the Northland, the development opportunities of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce are far from reaching the bottleneck, and sooner or later it will be able to develop into one of the seven giants that are not inferior to the Fude Business Alliance.

Therefore, Kenmeth told his father that he put his mind and energy into the operation of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce was to resolutely maintain the four alliances of the Northlands, and the longer the better, whether it was the huge aid to the Philim family or the usual subsidies to Count Shaheen, it was for this purpose. Only in this way will the Kenmasse family's position in the alliance of the four Northlands become stronger and stronger. And with the development of the power of the four alliances of the Northlands, the Kenmath family will gradually integrate into the circle of traditional hereditary nobles, becoming a member of it and will not be regarded as outliers and nouveau riche.

Hearing these words of Duke Kenmeth, his father was silent for a long time before he sighed. Then a family meeting was convened, and the position of head of the Kenmasse family was given to Duke Kenmasse, and it was affirmed that he was only responsible for the family business in the future, and that all the affairs of the family would be decided by Duke Kenmasse in the future, and he would no longer ask questions.

This is also the reason why Lorist trusts Kenmez very much, and only members of the alliance who are clearly aware of their status and what they should do can maintain and develop the alliance for a long time.

"Alright, don't get scared. Lorist patted Kenmez on the shoulder: "'Since you are going to develop the maritime trade of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, then let me remind you that you can purchase a merchant fleet for the Chamber of Commerce first, the scale does not need to be too large, and then try the water first." As for the security of the North Sea, you don't need to worry at all, our Norton family's North Sea Fleet will escort the ships of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, but the market needs to be developed by yourself. As the saying goes, you can only pick the biggest and best apples one step ahead of others. ”

"Got it, I sent two messengers to Baron Schrader right away. Duke Kenmath departed happily.
