"Thank you, I don't know how to arrange the supply of salt throughout the kingdom without you"
Salt Iron Division's agent of the dragon, Antrechi, shook hands tightly with Rand, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down.
"I also want to thank you for providing grain and river cargo ships, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to ship this salt"
"Haha, you are too polite, since I have made a salt purchase agreement with you, I have to be responsible for letting your salt be transported and sold."
"What about the caravan?"
"Rest assured, it's just your salt mine production?"
"You can rest assured, as long as spring begins, it will recover."
"Great, Your Excellency McLaren is right, you are indeed the best nobleman in the Northwest Territory."
As he spoke, Antrechi suddenly conjured up an extremely gorgeous crystal bottle, the bottle with a small arm length was not only hollowed out and painted, but there was even a small magic circle on the bottle body and the bottom of the bottle, and the magic source of the magic circle was the magic crystal on the mouth of the bottle decorated with crystal.
At this moment, Rand was shocked by the extravagance of the Blue Dragon family, the price of this bottle is no longer something that can be estimated by small and medium-sized nobles, I don't know what is the importance of the purple-red liquid in the bottle?
"Lord Viscount, this is the Dragon's Nest wine that His Excellency McLaren has brought to me, it is produced in the first Dragon's Nest of the Blue Dragon Family, and it is only produced in a few barrels every year.
This wine is very good for the magic enhancement, and it has always been specially supplied to the legendary Excellency of the family, even I, if it were not for the approval of His Excellency McLaren himself, I would not have had the opportunity to taste it.
Look at this crystal bottle, these two magic circles are the magic circle that slows down the passage of time and the cooling magic circle, and these magic circles are specially drawn by the magister. ”
Antrechi poured the wine as he introduced, and Rand took the glass and clinked glasses with the representative of the Blue Dragon family and Gurea on the side.
"To Your Excellency McLaren!"
Guleath silently drank the wine, reassessing the Viscount in front of her.
The dragon lady could not have imagined that this Rand had such a flexible business acumen and an abstract, philosophical understanding of some of the laws of the empire that went beyond the concrete provisions.
Just now, it took almost 20 minutes for the two people in front of them to reach a package of salt sales, salt sales and caravans, and Rand not only actually took over the production plan and price plan of the original Grey Goose Tribe, but also became a distributor from a producer.
Not only will Rand produce and deliver according to the plan set by Grey Goose and Antrechi, but will also take on the responsibility of transporting salt from the salt mines to Dragon's Tooth.
In exchange, Antrechi granted the rand an official distribution license to the Salt and Iron Division in the Northwest Territories.
Rand took over the position of the gray goose completely, and also whitewashed the identity of Roth's private salt.
Looking at the way the two of them hooked shoulders in front of her, Gu Leia thought that Rand had just returned from the imperial capital.
"Ah, the pride of our family, the noble pure-blooded dragonborn, Gurea, you have seen it."
"Of course, thanks to Lady Grea." Rand thought, or I'd be a barbarian.
"Of course," Antrechi thought, otherwise even the Blue Magpie Castle would be yours now.
"Gu Leiya is also an assistant teacher at our Blue Dragon City Knight School, and you will have a chance to meet again in the future."
"Great" Rand is very happy to have the opportunity to see Long Niang again, after all, it is so boring to come to another world but only see people.
"I will take care of you in the future"
"Hmm... Gu Leia didn't want to talk much, so she held back for a long time and said, "The lunch you arranged today is delicious." ”
"Great, you're satisfied"
。。。。。。
After sending off the two blue dragons, Rand had to continue to meet the guests.
The Count left after lunch, and most of the people who arrived with the Count stayed behind to talk to Rand before leaving.
As the most noble family in the kingdom, the Blue Dragon family undoubtedly has the highest priority, and when they see the Blue Dragon leave, the remaining nobles can talk to Lante.
For most nobles, the transaction with the original Viscount Roth was only a few horses, a few pairs of armor and less than a hundred and ten catties of salt, not to mention that they only paid a deposit, not the full amount.
Now the rand has all the stock in hand, and as long as the full payment is made, all the agreed goods can be taken away immediately.
After the rules of one or two companies are set, the rest only need to take the contract and do things according to the rules.
On this day, Rand has completed the delivery of more than 70 black-scaled horses and more than 50 pairs of iron armor and 100 pairs of leather armor, the largest consignee is naturally the earl's family, and the remaining viscounts, barons, and knights have each ordered some with Rand, so that half of the deposit of nearly 20,000 gold coins left by Viscount Lot has been written off, and the remaining orders are all from customers in the royal capital, all of which are pulled by another deputy head of the Maned Wolf Knights.
After sending off the satisfied nobles one after another, Rand was ready to go back to his room to count the gold coins, as a person from the world of commodity economy, Rand had some very pure hobbies.
"Rand, let me introduce you, this is Jao Mormont, the Baron of Wild Bear Ridge" Huck stopped Rand and introduced Rand to a nobleman in a bearskin coat.
"Oh, hello, Lord Baron, my father told me before that the matter of the Knight of Winks Mormont was so regrettable," Rand recalled, the hapless Baron of Wild Bear Ridge was besieged by a small force of the Grey Goose Tribe, and his eldest son was killed, and even the Baron's life was saved by a high-ranking paladin.
"Hello, Rand... Lord Viscount E: "Jao Mormont had fought alongside Huck, and had seen Rand earlier, but Rand had changed a lot now, and showed a temperament that was completely incompatible with the minor nobles of the border, which made Baron Wild Bear Ridge a little overwhelmed.
"Rand, this time Geo's losses are very large, several of his family vassals have been killed in battle," Huck was also looking for words, "We are all nobles in the Northwest, can you help Jao and give him a few sets of armor?" Or horses? ”
Rand smiled very awkwardly and looked at Huck and thought to himself, "Can you tell me about this in advance?" I'll give you a few more horses, a few sets of armor, you just let him take it away, now so many people are watching, what if I give it to others, if I don't give it, where will you save face? ”
Under the gaze of many subordinates and the attention of several guests, Rand opened his mouth, "I don't think it should be Lord Geo's intention to be given by anyone, if you want to buy some horses and iron armor, I can lend you a sum of money at a very low interest rate, you can use the magic plants from your territory as collateral, let the children of your clan go to Dragon's Tooth City with our caravan to do business, and we will divide the profits of this sale until you pay it back." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Baron Geo felt that Rand had promised to give him a batch of equipment and horses, but he didn't fully agree.
"I think ... Well," Rand looked at Baron Wild Bear Ridge, "So, I'll find my account office and settle it with you, Neil, go and call Makoto!" ”
When Jao left, he realized that Rand had lent him 3 sets of armor, 5 sets of leather armor and 5 black-scaled horses at cost price, and would bring his family with him next time he went into business, although he now owed Rand 1600 gold coins, but his family's magic plants could be sold directly to Dragon's Tooth City, and the profit increased several times, and at the same time, Rand could also sell his family's grain at cost price, so his annual grain import expenses were reduced.
"You're such a nice guy Rand," Jao said to Huck as he walked with a contract.
"Hmmm... yes, I think Rand's idea is pretty good," Huck said, wondering where Rand came from.
The several magic plants produced in the woods of Wild Bear Ridge are the main materials in the middle and low-level magic potions, and the king has a great demand for this kind of plant, but in the past, Baron Bear Ridge's family was scarce, and he couldn't make up an independent caravan.
Now that Rand has let Wild Bear Ridge join his caravan, on the one hand, he can reduce the cost of buying potions, and on the other hand, he can increase Baron Geo's ability to repay, and the "black-scaled horse production cooperation" of the badger tribe has greatly inspired Rand, and he wants to try to see if he can follow a similar path in other noble territories in the northwest.
