No matter how much I complain about it, I still have to eat at the banquet.
The atmosphere of the main meal was quite harmonious. The fourth prince did not talk about the ore, so he was not inconvenient to say anything more.
When the prince ordered the maid to change the dessert after meals, Pelo tentatively said, Your Highness, according to past practice, today should be the day to deliver ore, but I did not see any ore in the dockyard.
Roland put down the small wooden stick in his hand and nodded. Unfortunately, a landslide occurred in the mine cave on the north slope a while ago. For the past month, my people have been trying to resume production.However, the gravel at the collapsed place has not been cleaned up. According to this progress, the start of construction in the mining area will be delayed until next year.
collapse?Pelo was stunned for a moment, such a coincidence?But he soon realized that there was no need for the other party to lie to him.Otherwise, you will be clear if you go to the north slope once. Saying such an obvious lie is like slapping yourself in the face.
That... two months ago?
Not too many, as usual, then a little bit of stone cannot support my subordinates.Roland emphasized the tone of the word "conventional" and said, "Mr. Ambassador, you should still remember the Demon Moon two years ago?"
Of course, Pero remembers that the severe cold that lasted for four months caused nearly 20% of the people in the border town to starve to death because the city administrator Ferenault was insatiable.
There were no objections within the nobles, and some even asked for punishment of Ferenault afterwards.
But in the end, the incident was left unresolved only because he was the husband of the Duke's second daughter.
Now that the prince mentioned this, Pelo felt a bad feeling.
This time it was even worse, Roland sighed. If the delivery was made in the previous way, I would probably have to be exchanged for two months of wheat.My people can't stand the winter, sir, the past methods of trade must be abolished.
Pelo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.
He is not a professional diplomat. Facing the good reason, he really couldn't find a problem, so he had to delay. Your Highness, I regret this matter. This time, the previous tragedy will never repeat. I will let the six families lend food together for one month, and your people can slowly repay it after the production resumes next year.
If I sell it to Liuye Town, I don’t need to pay it back slowly.
but……
There was nothing good, Roland interrupted, they were willing to use the Golden Dragon to buy stones, and at the same time sold wheat, cheese, bread, honey at the market price... They sold everything they could buy with the Golden Dragon.Take a step back, Mr. Ambassador, even if you are willing to lend food for one month, will the other five companies agree with your decision?As far as I know, Duke Ryan is not that easy to reach an agreement.
Pelo was silent. The fourth prince was right. Not only the other five families, he was not even sure of his own father to convince him.
If he wants to maintain monopoly, he must modify the transaction plan, but he has no right to make a final decision.
It is said that it is an ambassador, but it is actually just a melody.
Maybe the Duke doesn't want anyone to reach any agreement with the Border Town without permission?
No matter whether the target is the previous lord or the fourth prince.
That's why he assigns different candidates every quarter of each year, and these people have never been the power of the family.
No matter what the result is, he has to give it a try. Thinking of this, Pelo showed off his last trump card, 30%, he stretched out three fingers, and the fortress purchased ore and gem rough at a price lower than 30% of the market price.I think this price should be higher than that of Liuye Town, Your Highness.
Roland spread his hands and said, "It's indeed higher, but it's still an old question. Can what you say become a unanimous decision among the six families?"
I will set off for Changge Fortress tomorrow. After reaching an agreement, I will come with a new contract.
But my people can't wait that long.You should know that it is usually time-consuming to reach an agreement among nobles.
Your Highness, working with the fortress is a better choice for you and your people.Liuye Town is too far away. Although you can escape the Demon Moon there, when you talk about it, Peiluo feels his throat a little dry, but it is easy to... danger on the road.
Oh my God, the god is above, what am I doing? His heart is pounding. Am I threatening a prince?
Hahahaha, unexpectedly, Roland did not get furious, but laughed. Ambassador, you seem to have made some mistakes, I didn't think about going to Liuye Town.
You mean...
Of course, I didn't plan to go to Changge Fortress, Roland looked at the ambassador with a playful look on his face, and I didn't go anywhere.
Pelo wondered if his ears were wrong.
Fortunately, the prince did not let the strange silence continue, and he continued to explain, this winter, I will stay in the border town, and the border town will become the new border line of the Grayburg Kingdom.Don't be so surprised, my friend, this is not nonsense. I can take you to visit the newly built city wall, just at the foot of the North Slope Mountain.
City...wall?
Yes, it connects the northern slope and the Chishui River, and is a stone city wall that is twelve feet high and four feet wide.With this, we can defeat the evil beasts in the border town.
Peilu felt that his mind was not enough. Last season, the ambassador didn't mention the city wall when he went back. No, the lord of the border town was still a fortress at that time, so how could he send a limited manpower to build this?
In other words, the Fourth Prince began to build the city wall as soon as he arrived here?
Even so, it’s only three months now. What can I build up in such a short time?
Wait... What did your Highness just say?
Twelve feet high and four feet wide, and it is necessary to connect the northern slope and the Chishui River?
Peiluo estimated in his heart that a city wall of this size would not be completed in a few years. First of all, he did not have so many stonemasons to cut stones!
Border Town is not a grey castle, and most of the people living here only sell coolies.
Before he could digest the news, Roland's next sentence also shocked him.
As for ore sales, starting next year, I am willing to lower the price to 50%, sir, but not all of it to Changge Fortress.Because you don't necessarily need that much ore.I think you will prefer some finished metal products, such as shovels, shovels, etc. than raw ore with low profits.He paused for a moment, as if waiting for Pero to understand the meaning of his words. As for the gemstones, they would be purchased by the highest bidder in the form of an auction.Although I also want to wait until the gem is cut before buying a good price, I’m sorry that Bianfeng Town does not have such ability at present.
Then do you have the ability to build a city wall in a few months?
Pelo yelled in his heart, and it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t require so many ores. The output of only a thousand golden dragons a year will increase, and it will double the output if it lasts until it is over!
Is the two thousand Golden Dragon Fortress unable to eat?
It's too arrogant!
He suppressed the resentment in his heart and tried his best to maintain his last etiquette. I have recorded all the things you said, Your Highness.I will negotiate with the six companies immediately after I go back.But, the city wall you mentioned... I want to go and see it.
Of course, Roland smiled, but there was no need to hurry up. It wouldn't be too late to start again after enjoying these royal-style pastries, right?Mr. Ambassador.
