king.

The trade fair begins.

Walking on the street, all kinds of goods are piled up on the counters.The cries of merchants can be heard endlessly.

The prosperous Dadir city in the past seems to be back.

It can be seen that Baron Sith has done his homework.Among other things, it takes a lot of effort for a merchant like Guanghui.

Like many local nobles, Hudson only looks but does not buy.This is what everyone agreed in advance, no matter what products appear in the city, they will not be traded this time.

As for the future, let's talk about it at that time.The memory of nobles also has a time limit. Although emotionally speaking, everyone does not want to see the nobles in the northern border grow bigger, but the southern region really needs a business center.

Several Dardir cities become business centers, which can bring enough benefits to everyone, and it is estimated that everyone will not refuse this convenience.

If the gold owners don't make a move, the transaction volume will naturally not increase.The contributions of just a few dozen northern nobles are far from enough to support a commercial center.

Not surprisingly, none of Lord Kettley's orc slaves were sold.Not only did the local nobles not buy it, but all the northern nobles did not take care of the business either.

Although Baron Sith greeted everyone, it is a pity that all the northern nobles have a large number of orc slaves.If they didn't know that they couldn't make a move, they might have to sell some of them to cash out.

There is no way, orc slaves are really not easy to use.Apart from some simple menial work, nothing else can be done.

The most important thing is the language barrier, and it is difficult to carry out the training smoothly.

Not every territory has endless hard work. When the number of slaves exceeds the demand, the lords will naturally not continue to buy slaves.

Even though everyone sympathizes with Baron Kettley's experience, it is only in words, and it is a bit close to wanting them to support with real money.

Besides, it's not like everyone didn't help.A group of nobles from northern Xinjiang also collected a few thousand gold coins and lent them to Baron Kettley for emergency.

As entrepreneurs, the money is squeezed out from between our teeth.Being able to do this is already quite interesting.

After all, although everyone is aristocratic in Northern Xinjiang, the land of Northern Xinjiang is also extremely vast, and most of them have never socialized before.

If it weren't for a chance, let them go south together in a group, and it is estimated that they would not even have the current relationship.

……

"Baron Kettley, it seems that these slaves are no longer wanted. There is no point in keeping them except for wasting food. Find a chance to dispose of them!"

Sith suggested sincerely.

Although the reputation of slaughtering slaves is not good, you can always find a way to cover it up.If you keep supporting this group of idlers, your reputation will not be damaged, but your wallet can't stand it!

Just helping to raise him for two days, Baron Sith felt the pressure. If Baron Kettley stayed here for a long time, he couldn't stand it.

"Dear Baron Sith, this is really cruel. Otherwise, wait and see, no one wants these slaves now, because it is now the slack season.

After staying for two months, spring plowing begins, and lords who need labor may buy it.

You can rest assured that the daily expenses of the slaves will be taken as my loan from you.As long as these slaves are sold, I will return them as soon as possible. Baron Kettley said sincerely.

Those who don't know think how much he attaches importance to the life and death of the slaves in front of him, but in fact he is just fighting for interests.Anyway, now that the slave is being raised by Baron Sith, his pressure has been greatly reduced.

If it can be delayed until spring plowing, and these slaves are sold, it will make a lot of money.

But this is only a possibility. No one can guarantee whether the local nobles will be short of labor during the spring plowing season.

At least during autumn plowing, people rely on the help of relatives and friends to complete the sowing.

It is not impossible to borrow people again during spring plowing.Most nobles will sell this kind of favor that has no risk and does not require much price.

If these slaves are still unable to be sold until spring plowing, then not only Baron Kettley will be finished, but even Baron Sith will have to go crazy.

Poor ghosts are unable to pay back the money. More than 2 slaves eat, drink and scatter every day, which is not a small expense.

Even if calculated based on the daily expenditure of three copper coins per person, 5000 people would have to spend 75000 copper coins a day, or 50 gold coins.

After two months, at least three thousand gold coins will be in vain.This is just the most basic expenses, the military expenses of guarding the slaves, has it not been included?
In the event of an accident, a slave riot or something, I don't know how much loss will be incurred.

What's more troublesome is that all the money has been taken out, and the big trouble of orc slaves still hasn't been solved.

It is impossible to return the goods. Slave traders these days do not have the option to return the goods.

Maybe the unlucky Baron Kettley will be chased by creditors all over the world in the future, but the Baron Sith who took over the slave, Ray, will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"impossible!"

"Baron Kettley, if you insist on keeping these slaves, then take them home and raise them yourself!
Slave traders are not welcome in Dardir City, and I will immediately enact a set of laws to prohibit slave trading here. "

Sith said indifferently.

As a lord, he has the right to make laws in his own territory.

If the creditors were not too big, Baron Kettley could also make his own laws to keep all the creditors out.

"Respected Baron Sith, I don't want to do this either. But there is no way. If I deal with these slaves now, all my investment will be lost.

According to the agreement, my debt period is only half a year.If you can't repay the debt owed within half a year, you can imagine the consequences.

If you can come forward and get the creditors to agree to postpone the debt collection, I will immediately follow your will!

If you can't do it, then there's no other way, people can only let you go first.You can do whatever you want, anyway, I won't take them away. "

Baron Kettley said in a broken can.

Even offending Baron Sith to death is better than being hunted down by creditors.Among the two counties of Wright and Wyton, Baron Sith has the strongest family background.

Lord Kettley could do nothing better than rely on him.

"It's impossible! You have too many debts, and I don't have that face. If you have the time, you might as well beg your father.

If Viscount Hank Cage is willing to come forward, maybe everyone will give you another chance.

Maple Leaf Territory is fertile, as long as you manage it carefully, you can still pay off your debts within five years. "

The more he said, the lower his voice, obviously Baron Sith didn't believe this nonsense himself.No matter how fertile the land in the Maple Leaf Territory, the territory still has expenses!
Calculating income alone without considering the wealth accumulation model of expenditure is pure hooliganism.

There are many territories that earn tens of thousands of gold coins or even tens of thousands of gold coins a year, but there are very few territories that can still have a balance of tens of thousands of gold coins after spending.

Not to mention the Maple Leaf leader, even if Dardir City is managed, Baron Sith can't guarantee that he can have a balance of tens of thousands of gold coins every year.

If you simply calculate the territorial income, each of the five giants in northern Xinjiang occupies more than one province, and their annual income is worth millions of gold coins.

It can be maintained because the great nobles have other industries.

Including Baron Sith, who wanted to build Dadir City into a commercial center in the south. On the surface, it was for tax purposes, but in fact it was to gather popularity and develop his own industry.

Relying solely on that little tax, I'm afraid it won't even be enough for daily expenses.

What really makes money is renting/selling the shops and houses in the city, as well as selling the food, vegetables, meat and some daily necessities produced in the territory.

Similar gameplay, Maple Leaf collar can not copy.It's just the income from farming, and it's okay to live a small life with peace of mind. It's impossible to get rich all at once.

Perhaps because he thought the idea was too bad, after a pause, Baron Sith added again: "Maybe you can go talk to that mountain baron.

If it is said that among the two counties, who has the greatest demand for labor, it is that guy.

With that guy's appetite, even if the population of the territory exceeds [-], it still cannot meet his needs.

Anyway, you have also dealt with each other, so just sell the slave to him at a discount.As long as the price is cheap enough, he will not dislike it.

It's better to lose some money in the worst case than to keep procrastinating.You must know that every day of delay like this now will increase your loss by nearly a hundred gold coins. "

This is the truth, although Sith does not want to be an enemy.But compared to smashing a hot potato into one's own hands, it's better to let the enemy off the hook.

After this period of contact, he discovered that Hudson's strength lies in military and territorial development, but he really didn't see how strong his political skills were.

At the very least, he won't give compliments to his competitors when he's in a different position.

Since political means cannot keep up, the degree of danger is also reduced.There is nothing wrong with developing the territory, but it would be a big failure if you focus on the development of the territory.

"It's useless, that guy is also heavily in debt now. For the development of the territory, that idiot invested all his money in it.

Now that the situation is stable, the junk produced by that guy can no longer be sold, only some agricultural tools and daily necessities can be sold.

If it weren't for the iron products he produced to pay off his debts, his situation would not be much better than mine.

I invested more than 6 gold coins in these slaves. Even if they sell at a loss, do you think that bastard is capable of buying them? "

Baron Kettley said pretending to be helpless.

He wouldn't speak well of Hudson in front of Baron Sith.What's more, he didn't have a good impression of Hudson in the first place, and what he said now was from his heart.

Getting an unexpected answer, the Sith Baron is mixed.It is undoubtedly a good thing that competitors have financial problems, but the tragedy is that the troubles seem to be irreversible.

"Kately, what do you want?
If it's a stupid thing to ask me to settle your debts for you, that's fine.

Everyone is a smart person, you should know how big the basket you have made.

The investment of more than 6 gold coins collected a pile of garbage.Even if some of the high-quality slaves can be sold, the loss this time will not be less than [-] gold coins.

No one can bear such a huge financial loss for you.Even if the plan fails because of this, it is impossible for me to agree.

I have done my best for your sake.All the colleagues in Northern Xinjiang have a large backlog of slaves in their hands, and it is impossible to take your order. "

Baron Sith said indifferently.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he wished he could immediately kill this annoying guy in front of him.Compared with this guy, he suddenly felt that the "Hudson" who was hostile to him was as cute as a little white rabbit.

"Among the more than 6 gold coins, there is an arrears of more than [-], which must be resolved.

Among these slaves, the high-quality slaves who can be sold can probably get back [-] gold coins, and there is still a huge funding gap of [-].

I can probably borrow [-] gold coins from relatives, friends, and family members in the Northland, and the family can also lend [-] gold coins.

A group of colleagues also lent me a few thousand gold coins, and the weapons and equipment and war horses in my hands can also be cashed out for thousands of gold coins. Now I only need [-] gold coins to tide over this difficulty.

Therefore, I hope that your Excellency will be generous and lend me [-] gold coins to help me tide over this difficulty. "

Baron Kettler said earnestly.

The number of holes dropped from [-] to [-], and Baron Sith's complexion improved a lot.Just whether to lend the money, he was still beating drums in his heart.

His intuition told him that things would definitely not be that simple.If Baron Kettley asked to borrow money in normal times, there was a high probability that he could borrow money from relatives and friends.

But it's different now, everyone knows that he lost a lot of money.Before borrowing money, one has to consider his ability to repay.

What if you know that you can't fill in the hole and run away with the money?
Similar things have not happened in the continent of Aslante.Everyone can only admit that they are unlucky when they encounter it, and they can only think about the cross-border recovery of arrears.

"If I don't agree, don't you want to lead someone to snatch the caravan?"

Baron Sith asked uncertainly.

Going out to rob without money is perfectly normal for the nobles of the Northland.At other times, Baron Sith would not mind his own business.

It’s just not right now, before the word of mouth of Dadir City has been established, the big news of merchants being robbed spreads, and the following stories cannot be told.

"If we really want to get to that point, I can't help it."

Baron Kettley spread his hands and admitted directly that he had that intention.

……

Holding the extorted gold coins, Kettley knew that he had offended Baron Sith to death, and it might be difficult for everyone to maintain their apparent friendship in the future.

"Prepare the car, let's visit Baron Hudson."

"Kately, I'm afraid it's not good to be in the past right now?"

Holman Knight said worriedly.

It's too immoral to visit his opponent just after receiving money from Baron Sith, and it's still on his territory.

"If you don't look for him, what will I do with the slaves in my hands? Is it really necessary to dispose of them and bear the name of cruelty?

It is very interesting that Baron Sith can lend me [-] gold coins, and I can't push people into a hurry.

But even with the [-] gold coins, what should I use to fill the remaining big holes?
Uncle Holman, don't you think someone is willing to lend me money at this time?
Even within the family, if they knew the news, they would probably have complaints.

Instead of embarrassing everyone, it is better not to say this at all, so as not to hurt feelings. "

Baron Kettley said with a self-mockery.

If you don't ask to borrow money, you will never know how bad your popularity is.The aristocrats who had a good relationship with each other this time took out two or three hundred gold coins to deal with it.

In the future, everyone will still support each other, but now they are only willing to lend such a small amount of money.Then it is even more difficult to let relatives and friends who are far away in the north and have difficulty in socializing in the future pay for it.

After all, what the nobles pay attention to is mutual benefit and reciprocity, and they cannot be allowed to pay unilaterally and see no return!
Baron Kettley, who had seen through all this, did not complain, but chose to respond positively.

At least in the last conversation, he was sure that Hudson was interested in these orc slaves.Although this buyer may not necessarily be rich, he is still a buyer after all.

……

After going around in a circle and cheating Baron Sith, the two appeared on the negotiating table again.

Hudson hasn't changed much, but Baron Kettley's mind has changed.The cruel reality told him that the personal connections he had previously managed were not reliable.

In the last negotiation, he still had some confidence.I thought that the worst outcome would be nothing more than a loss, and with the help of relatives and friends, at worst, the territory could be kept.

The reality is very embarrassing. If it weren't for the strict fiefdom system of the kingdom, there might be some people who wished him to go bankrupt so that he could come and take over the fiefdom.

"Baron Kettley, to tell the truth. I am indeed interested in these slaves, but the mountain leader is currently short of financial resources, and the cash he can use is at most [-] gold coins.

If the transaction is made at this price, you may suffer a lot this time.Taking advantage of the fire like this is not in line with chivalry, so I didn't make an offer last time. "

After hearing Hudson's words, Baron Kettley groaned secretly.

A profiteer talks about "chivalry", which is very funny, but now he can't laugh at all.

The sole buyer was short of money, and kept saying that he would not take advantage of the fire to rob, so he should take the initiative to send it up for others to rob!
It's typical to stand up and down, and not willing to bear moral pressure.Later, it was spread that it was not Master Hudson who took advantage of the fire to rob, but Master Hudson who helped the poor.

As for him, Baron Kettley, he is naturally a gold medal supporting role who is too stupid to be saved.Who made him now have the title of "the stupidest slave trader"?
"Baron Hudson, [-] gold coins! As long as [-] gold coins, these slaves will be packaged and sold to you.

Now that the matter has reached this point, I will no longer hide it.In order to buy these slaves, I paid [-] gold coins for the cost alone.

Now it is sold at a [-]% discount, and I have to rely on debt to settle the final payment.If the price is lowered again, I can only go bankrupt in place. "

Baron Kettley said helplessly.

It is estimated that he should be the most failed businessman in the whole continent.Others bargaining is to earn more and earn less, but he is different, just to not go bankrupt.

"Baron Kettley, don't worry. Even if I raise [-] gold coins to trade, I'm afraid your life will not be easy in the future.

Territory development is expensive.No matter how good the foundation of the Maple Leaf collar is, it will be difficult to achieve a balance of payments in the first two years, and it will not work if there is not enough liquidity on hand.

How about we change the way of cooperation, I will buy these slaves at the original price.It's just that cash is not used for settlement, but iron products produced in the territory are traded.

You take these iron products to talk to the gang of slave traders. They are all agricultural tools and daily necessities. There will also be a large market in the Northland, so you don’t have to worry about selling them. "

Hudson encouraged.

Frankly speaking, he really didn't plan to cheat this time.After all, you can't catch a sheep and keep rolling wool, or else the sheep will be bald, and there will be no need to roll it later.

As a tool man, Baron Kettley overfulfilled the task this time.Not only did Baron Sith cheat, but also the northern nobles were divided.

It would be a pity if such a valuable chess piece was just thrown away.

It just so happened that the family needed to expand the market, so they simply took this opportunity to try it out.It would be best if the market in the Northland could be opened up, and it didn't matter if they couldn't.

As a high value-added product, the cost of a commodity worth [-] gold coins is less than [-] gold coins!

As long as it doesn't sell locally and doesn't compete with itself, Hudson doesn't mind hitting the outside market at all.

"Baron Hudson, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, right? Unlike the southeastern provinces, the iron products market in the Northland is actually monopolized, and foreign products cannot be squeezed in at all..."

Before Baron Kettley could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "Your Excellency, you have thought too much. Can't you sell it, and you are not allowed to use it yourself?
Even if you can't use it yourself, you can still sell it to the Beastman Empire, maybe you can earn more.As long as it is not sold in the Northland, it will be able to explain the past.

What's more, it was the group of slave traders who were responsible for the sales.You just hand over the product to them, and what happens later has nothing to do with you. "

There is no problem, whoever sells is responsible.Even if it really offends the interests of local snakes, it is impossible for them to travel thousands of miles to the southeastern province to find a middleman to settle accounts.

"However, cash has become a commodity, can they agree?"

Kettler really has no idea, at least on him, it is unacceptable for cash to become a commodity.

"It's not up to them. Anyway, you don't have any money now, they will either accept the goods to pay off the debt, or they will come to collect you when you have money. At most, they will beat you up and let out a bad breath.

Even if they wish they could kill you, for the sake of money, they still want you to live well.

Even if some of them are impulsive, others will help stop them.After all, if you really have an accident, the debt will be even more difficult to collect. "

Hudson said indifferently.

The one who owes the debt is the uncle, and the same applies in the continent of Aslante.If creditors are irrational, it must be that you don't owe enough.

Like Baron Kettley, who owed more than 5 gold coins, few creditors could give up.
