For the appearance of Gegil, Ferroz was also a little surprised after the meeting.

After a simple nod of greeting, the two staggered past.

And Goodern had just come out of the parlor and was about to go to the study to attend to some business, and before his ass was hot, he received another notice from old Joseph.

"Young Master, the caravan and grain collection team from Jinyuan City have arrived, and Feroz, Kroger and the others have also arrived in the meeting room."

The arrival of the caravan and the grain convoy today was already known to Goodern.

The caravan in Jinyuan City made a new trading time last time, and the original transaction once a month became once every half a month.

At the same time, some urgently needed items and coins were sent to Qingyuan Town, and the date of the grain collection team was fixed, so it was not surprising to come together.

Putting down the pen, Goodern immediately went to the parlor to meet with a few people.

When I came to the living room, there were not only Kroger and Feroz, but also a strange face wearing an emperor's *** costume.

For the two old acquaintances, Gooden simply greeted him, and then asked about the identity of the third person.

"Who is this?"

"He's the Quartermaster Procurement Officer sent from above, Officer Walsh."

Ferroz, as half of the official staff, stood up for Goodern to introduce him.

"Lord Goodern." Walsh, who had been introduced, greeted Goodborn with a friendly nod.

"Hello, Officer Walsh."

For the respect of the other party's identity, Gooden also said hello.

"Officer Walsh's mission, he will talk to you in detail separately after we finish talking, let's deal with the caravan and the grain collection first."

"Okay."

There has already been a transaction experience between the two parties, and they don't care about some unnecessary etiquette, and go straight to the topic to start arranging.

"I've already arranged for Joseph Sr. to take care of the work of collecting grain, and what is the amount of taxes this year, Lord Kroger?"

Gooden is still clear about the principle of giving priority to business, and he will deal with tax matters first.

Kroger was also ready, taking out a prepared document and handing it to Goodern.

"Excluding the tax debt of 826 gold and 69 silver in the previous three years, the amount to be paid this year is 162 gold and 4 coins."

For the previous three years, Gooden no longer needs to make payments, he now only needs to make up this year's taxes.

The news that Matthews was intercepted and killed, Goodwin has also revealed to Kroger.

In response to this news and the new evidence obtained, Kroger went back to the tax office of the Governor's Mansion overnight with a copy of the evidence.

He returned with a moratorium on taxes for the previous year, bearing the signature and seal of the Governor of the Governor's Office of the North.

This can also show that the events of the Charleson family have received enough attention from powerful people at the top.

"Okay, when I arrange the caravan's trade, I'll count the taxes."

Now Goodern doesn't have that much money in his small coffers, and if he wants to make it up, he has to take some of the proceeds from this trade.

Kroger knew about this, and nodded, then waited quietly for Goodern to finish the conversation.

"Mr. Ferroz, now let's talk about the proceeds of this trade."

"Okay, this time, the fine salt, crystal sugar, and pure water will earn a total of 2,4624 silver coins, and after deducting 10% of the labor fee, there are still 2,216 gold left."

"In addition, there are two hundred and eighteen people coming to this conscription, so we will collect a small change and give you two thousand two hundred and ten gold."

The change money that Ferroz said was only six gold, and the price on the conscription order was about ten gold.

This time I saved so much, it is estimated that the auction house has eaten a full meal from the labor handling fee.

After all, it was just a sales opening, some labor and saliva, and time was not

When you arrive, you can earn more than 200 gold coins, who is not happy about this kind of good thing?

However, what made Gooden notice was that in addition to the fixed price of 2,000 gold coins, the auction of pure water actually earned more than 460 gold coins.

You must know that there are only eight bottles auctioned out, and the average price of a bottle of vodka pure water is seven gold coins!

It seems that the world seems to have a unique penchant for highly concentrated distilled spirits.

"In addition, the copper ingots, coal and some crop seeds that meet the requirements have been sent by the exchange to arrange, and it is expected that they will all be delivered in the next transaction."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

The deal was mainly about gathering a wave of money and purchasing supplies, and Goodern is now shifting his focus from grain and ore to other targets. 藲礿尛裞網

For example, copper ingots are used to make wires, and coal is used to smelt carbon steel on a large scale and extract some elements.

The seeds that meet the requirements are the rice of the Rydro Empire in the south, the rubber trees in the Forest of Dawn in the west, and the seeds of various fruit trees that meet his requirements.

In addition to the name, the various items and elements in this world are different from those on the blue star, of course, except for various fantasy items and biological races.

As someone who has the word farming in his DNA, Goodern intends to carry on this fine tradition.

After all, with an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, it is always a pity to leave it abandoned.

And if it weren't for the fact that the Flame Lands on the north side of the Badlands were hard to reach, Goodern would have wanted someone to collect some oil for him.

After completing the transaction report and the process of collecting the money, the two simply confirmed the details of the next transaction.

According to the previous proposal, this time Ferroz would return for sale with a thousand pounds of fine salt and a thousand pounds of crystalline sugar.

The amount of this batch of transactions was a full 4,000 gold, but Goodern could have predicted that it would take at least one to two months for this batch of goods to be fully digested.

The first batch of goods can be sold out quickly, all thanks to the high purity of the quality and the low price of the quantity, which makes many people who can barely reach the threshold to taste it.

Of course, there are also many of them who buy at a low price and then sell them at a high price in other cities.

Goodborn had already anticipated this situation, so he discussed with the people at the trading house when he sold it, and if he wanted to buy it, he had to show a token such as a family certificate or a chamber of commerce certificate.

And the family can only buy twenty pounds of each of them, and they will not sell any more, nor will they sell at a higher price.

In this way, even if they sell at a high price, they will not be able to sell a large amount, and there are other people who think the same way to compete in the market, which makes it difficult for their prices to rise to a particularly high position.

At the same time, when the second batch of salt and sugar enters the market, if you want to sell the goods in your hands, you can only go to a farther place to have a market.

By the time these men traveled to sell the high-quality salt and sugar throughout the empire, it was here that Goodern's reputation for Qingyuan Town was opened.

Although they may have come to find the location of Jinyuan Castle, by that time, the name of Qingyuan Town will be even louder, thus attracting people to Qingyuan Town to do trade.

The plan to kill many birds with one stone is not only about immediate benefits.

After the two sides were dealt with, Goodenke had not forgotten the quartermaster procurement officer sent by the military.

"Officer Walsh, I've kept you waiting, we can talk about you now."

Walsh, who sat silently listening to Gooden's handling of affairs, was also secretly analyzing Gooden's way of handling affairs in his heart, so as to gain some advantages in the next negotiations.

And now Goodern cut straight to the point, and Walsh didn't beat around the bush, just throwing out his own intention.

"Lord Goodern, the manganese steel in your hand is extremely superior, and the emperor is extremely interested in the manganese steel in your hand, so he sent me to contact you to see if there is a possibility of cooperation between us."

"Cooperation?" Goodern heard the word in his face

I was a little surprised, could it be that the emperor wanted to get the refining method of manganese steel from him?

"Yes, the upper echelons of the military are interested in manganese steel, so they want to purchase a batch of manganese steel, and the amount of purchase ranges from thousands of gold to a maximum of 30,000 gold coins."

"If you, Lord Goodern, are interested in this collaboration, I'll ask you a few questions about manganese steel to determine how many orders you can take."

Listening to this familiar way of operating, Gooden's eyes suddenly showed a slight confusion.

How the fuck is this familiar, as if I used this trick not long ago?

But he quickly came back to his senses and nodded.

"Of course I'm interested, as long as the question about manganese steel doesn't involve the proportion of material formula, I can answer it truthfully for you."

"Okay, I won't ask about the sensitive question of formula, the key question is how much manganese steel can be exercised in a month in terms of manganese steel production?"

"If the material is sufficient, the daily output can be guaranteed to be about one pound, which is one pound a month."

"However, due to the recent turmoil in the frontier, it is difficult to purchase iron ore and finished iron, the main materials, coupled with the restrictions on the mining capacity of many core materials, the output will also be limited, but the production volume of seven or eight thousand pounds is still no problem."

After a little thought and calculation, Gooden gave a conservative amount that is currently being refined by hand.

There was also a smelter's refining output, which Goodern did not count.

The construction of the smelter is also about to come to the final core critical time, if there is a smelter, it is not a problem to have 30,000 pounds a day.

However, at that time, the main job of the smelter was to smelt carbon steel, not manganese steel, so the second plant had to be built to have this production efficiency.

Walsh looked surprised at what Goodern was saying about the amount of production.

He had thought that the output of this metal would be one or two thousand pounds a month, but he did not expect that its output would far exceed his expectations.
