Chapter 103: The Iron and the Merchant

Looking at the detailed list of government affairs lined up in front of him, Jonas started with the envelope.

This is a tool that Jonas asked Doron to create to classify government affairs, similar to the folders in the office in his previous life, Jonas divided this wooden shelf into three categories, one is urgent documents, which need to be processed quickly, one is that local documents are mainly matters near Cangsong Town, and the last is the letters sent over, which can be easily accessed by Jonas, and it is also the most important category.

There was only one letter in it, which was sent from the small town of Yuedong where Jung was located, but the letter was not written by Jung and Nader, but by the steward who was sent to Saluzo 6 days ago to be in charge of selling iron tools.

Yes, just 6 days ago, the smelter of Eagle Fort finally succeeded in smelting the first batch of iron tools, which were transported to Cangsong Town under the command of Mayor Kadir and handed over to Jonas, who was really excited at that time, because just a few days ago, Jung had sent a letter with the news that he wanted to arm the citizens of the town of Yuedong and serve as a food transport team, and there was a lack of a large number of weapons to arm these citizens.

And what's even more gratifying is that because these citizens are only responsible for transporting supplies and not responsible for participating in the war, the quality of the weapons does not need to be too high, just need to be not easy to break, which simply makes Jonas want to hug Jung and kiss him, he is now short of money, and the smelter also needs someone to buy things to let him run and improve his level in operation, Jung's order undoubtedly makes Jonas a lot more comfortable.

Opening the envelope, the steward who had been sent by Jonas to the town of Viet Toung told Jonas in an excited and scribbled handwriting what he had achieved on the battlefield border.

In this transportation, there are a total of 200 long swords, each of which costs about 300 gold marks, a total of 500 iron and wooden shields, and the price of each piece is 280 gold marks, and there are 30 long knives that Jonas whimsically made for Mayor Kadir to build, Jung gave a good price, 600 gold marks, and the total selling price is about 218,000 gold marks.

It costs about 6,000 gold marks to burn coal, the blacksmith's salary is about 5,000 gold marks, the slaves are negligible in addition to drinking water and eating bread, and there is 40,000 gold marks invested in the early stage, and finally the toll money that needs to be spent when transporting to the town of Yuedong, about 10,000 gold marks, which is for the nobles who are in the territory along the road。

Oh my god, this business is so good.

And the benefits are not only that, Jonas does not know whether the weapon is sharp or not, because he has only touched the kitchen knife in his previous life, and he knows the sharpness, but he has not had it otherwise, and in this life he even uses a table knife on the table is a very valuable object, all ivory, silver, and the weapons used in daily training are also extremely high-quality weapons specially made for Jonas, each of which can be said to be worth tens of thousands of gold marks.

Therefore, he did not know much about the sharpness and use of these iron weapons brought by Kadir, and he did not know whether they met the needs of the most basic weapons of this era, but the letter sent back by the steward clearly stated the appreciation of those who had obtained the weapons, and the steward summarized the characteristics of the weapons possessed by the Billo territory into a few words, which were cheap, durable, and blunt.

This evaluation is very satisfactory for Jonas at this stage, as long as the use cycle is longer than the iron tools sold elsewhere, then this is a natural advantage, even if the war is over, he can make iron pots, kitchen knives, and iron-clad plows for ploughing the land.

As for the point of not being sharp, Jonas has no choice but to let the blacksmiths of Eagle Castle sharpen their craftsmanship as soon as possible, so that these weapons can be sharper, and the price can be raised slightly.

At the end of the letter, he wrote a request to be able to ship more iron tools to the town of Viet Dong, indicating to Jonas the huge business opportunities here.

With a stroke of his pen, Jonas approved the steward's request, and immediately wrote an order and sent it to Eagle Fort to let them make more weapons as soon as possible, without diverting to Cangsong, and sending them directly to the town of Yuedong, which is a race against time to make money, if the war is over when it is delivered, it will not be perfect.

As for what kind of turmoil a large number of weapons will cause to the area, and how the local nobles should face the people with weapons after the war, this is not for Jonas, the local people are in need, you can blame me.

Facing the white silver falling into his pocket, Jonas was undoubtedly in the happiest mood in the past few days, and he also showed great enthusiasm for his work, and soon finished the paperwork on the desk, just as he was ready to enjoy a lunch and prepare to go out for horseback riding in the afternoon to relax, Doron, who had returned from the mayor of Dididora, stopped in front of Jonas, and with Doron, there was an additional stranger that Jonas did not know.

"Doron, who is this?"

Jonas looked at the clothes of the visitor, top hats, flower clothes, mainly purple, but the clothes were inlaid with diamonds or other luminous objects, which made this bulinbulin all over his body look like a nouveau riche, almost made Jonas roll his eyes at Dolon, this guy's dress is really amazing.

But when Jonas glanced at the ring on the hand of the big man, he felt that the identity of this nouveau riche should not be simple, because the ring on his hand was not gold or diamonds or other things that nouveau riche generally loved, but a ring that looked very similar to wood, which looked unpretentious and lacklustre, and there were some unknown words engraved on it.

Jonas's eyesight was very good, and he found that these scripts were not the pinyin scripts commonly used in Europe, but also hieroglyphs, that is, characters similar to ancient Egypt and ancient Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, which obviously made Jonas a little unclear about the people who came.

However, there is no need for Jonas to judge, this golden guy walked up to Jonas before Jonas finished asking, knelt down on one knee, let his face appear parallel to Jonas's vision, and said with a smile to Jonas in an obviously accented tone:

Hello, Honorable Viscount, I am a merchant from Gennaa, from the Diro Fimir family. (To be continued.) )
