266. Private Trade
On the morning of May 12th, Lanya finally arrived at the West No. 7 Station, if it weren't for Lanya's lack of magic and her inability to ride the fire, Rand would have run over early in the morning to take her directly back to the iron mine.
As an archon, the reason why Lannia moved slowly all the way was because every time she arrived at a station, she had to check if there was any latest information or letter sent to her, and she also had to have a general idea of the situation of the station along the way.
So taking advantage of the morning stop, Lannia began to check all the messages sent and received in the West 7 Station.
"Sister Lanya, it's so strange to take a look at this bit of information!" The girl who spoke, Rei Haili, who had followed Lannia since the salt mines, was one of the few writers in the territory, "Both Knight Dugan and Knight Pete ordered a batch of potions from the Knight of Rohr in Roth's territory, and also sent some messages to the Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital and Maned Wolf City."
Lanya looked at the message sending and receiving records, "This Pete is a mid-level knight who asked for two jars of potions to be transported by ship next time he supplies iron ore?" Do you want to send it to the West 7 Station? ”
"It's also strange that this high-ranking knight named Petraeu asked the inn to help him transport a package, and specified that it should be given to the knight of Tierney." Rei Haili took another piece of paper, which was a record of the contents of the fast horse delivery in the station.
"Which one is Lord Lanya?" The door of the hall of the inn was pushed open by a young knight, who asked very respectfully.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Tomokri Lanyuan, and my father, Petrau Lanyuan, wants to see you!" As a junior knight, Tomokri did not have the slightest arrogance towards the demonless Lenya he had never met, and respectfully invited her to the stationing area of the inn.
"You are the Archon of Lenia! I've heard that you're coming, because we're about to set off west, and we can't pick you up," Petraeu was still very friendly and respectful to Lenya, "Lord Rand has already said that he is waiting for you to come to the iron mine to take over the affairs of the government, and he will not be at ease to leave without you." ”
A management-type demonless person like Lannia will be found in any big family, and such a person will be a close confidant of the patriarch without exception, and Petrau is well versed in the doorway of the royal capital, so he naturally does not dare to offend her. Immediately took out a list, "These are my family members, you can tell them at any time when you need them, and I also hope that you can help me take care of them more." ”
Lanya watched Petraeu's pioneer team leave, wondering why this high-ranking knight deigned to wait for him here, and even gave some jerky of demonic beast meat. As Lante's confidant, Lannia naturally does not lack demonic beast meat, nor does she lack any daily necessities, but she also knows that such jerky should be more valuable for Petraeu.
"Sister, there's a situation again!" Mercy Haili came out of the post station and took a piece of paper, "Just now an internal merchant fleet met with Sister Wendy and their fleet, and there is a magician named Gatsby Lanyuan who has bought all the pickles and wants the caravan to be sent directly to the iron mine. ”
"Huh? No, the internal caravan can only collect work vouchers, shouldn't this mage have just been rescued in the iron mine? Where did he get his vouchers? Lania had no idea what was going to happen in front of her.
"Is it possible that Tierney or Dugan did? They have a lot of credit this time, and it is estimated that there are a lot of work coupons issued," but why did these two knights help this mage? ”
"Whatever the reason, I'm afraid this iron mine is not as easy to manage as a salt mine"
。。。
At this moment, Wendy was still in the cabin of the head ship, staring at Dugan and Tierney on the opposite side with Lili and Tenya.
"Captain Dugan, if you need it, you can explain to Lord Viscount that there is no need to sell your work voucher to the mage of the Lan Yuan family, right?" Wendy asked, "And Tierney, why did you sell him the voucher too, you don't know, if you do this, the entire West 4 to West 10 post stations will not be able to get pickles!" ”
The two knights sat awkwardly opposite the three mages, listening to Wendy's count, this matter was indeed a whim, and they used their own work to buy the materials for the intermediate Warcraft in the hands of the Gatsby mage, those materials from the Hindukr Valley, which were relatively rare in the human empire.
"Wendy, when the lord gave us the voucher, he didn't say that he wouldn't let the flowers go out!" Dugan was trained by the little girl to be unable to do it, and defended himself, "It was the adults who said that when the money is spent, we will use it to buy materials, and the adults didn't say that they can't spend all at once, can't buy magic materials, can't buy all the goods in the caravan?" ”
"But Captain Dugan, you can't think that this Gatsby mage bought all the pickles and went to the iron mine to distribute them, right?"
"Sister Wendy, I think I asked Daqila yesterday, the salt in the iron mine is indeed very small, and the food that many lords and demon supporters eat every day is not only without oil and water, but also very bland." Tierney also explained that in his opinion, Gatsby was no different from the merchants in Dragon's Tooth City.
"But the internal caravan also sells salt! Soon there will be enough salt in the iron mines! ”
"That's why we think that even if he buys all the pickles, he will have no problem selling them in the iron mine! Pickles and salt arrive at the iron mine at the same time! "What's wrong with him wanting to buy it, having enough money and not making a big impact?" ”
"He shouldn't have been given a large amount of work vouchers!" The two knights in front of them had no idea of Gatsby's possible influence, or even acquiesced, but Wendy and Lili understood that most of the barbarians in the territory did not have any economic acumen, and all the barbarians were completely on the leader of Rand and lived with the human race.
On the other boat, Gatsby Landarin is waiting with his partner, Sally Wyvern, who is also his lover, to reach the next station.
"Why did you choose pickles? How much profit can this have? "Sally Wyvern was a little angry, the two Warcraft materials he left behind were actually gone, and they were replaced with so-called intra-territory tokens, but he bought pickles that were substituted for salt.
"You know what? It's not the pickles that matter, it's the two knights," Gatsby pulled out a clay vase, the potions that Dugan had just sold him.
For Gatsby, Dugan and Tierney are the only two people in the entire Knights who can travel back and forth between the royal capital and the territory, and they are also extremely prestigious knights in the Knights. For such a channel, it is natural to give a gift that is hard enough.
"If we dare to monopolize salt and potions, we will be sent to the orc tribe as slaves tomorrow, pickles are not in large quantities, and they are not necessities, just to get through the relationship between the upper and lower levels" Gatsby took a sip of potion wine, and then asked, "Have you thought about what to bring to your house?" Don't let the two of them go back to the royal capital at that time, we can't get in touch with the Feilong family. ”
In the evening, the fleet finally received a reply from Rand himself: this business is legitimate, carry out all the information that has been reached, establish a new fleet to increase the frequency of internal trade, replenish the goods of the western territories, and Tania's fleet will no longer stop sailing during the return voyage, and accelerate to the Night Kirk City.
