Chapter 471 Gale——'Old friends' get together
Leiden just came back from outside today, with a dusty look on his face. Many knights still had some blood stains on their armor. And George noticed that there seemed to be some trophies on those big carriages.
George asked curiously: "It seems that this journey is not very peaceful?"
"Haha, they are all a bunch of blind people." Layton patted the 'Thunderbolt' on his waist, touched his beard and said, "These weapons are really useful, they are worth a three-pounder cannon." !”
George nodded. Layton's words were a bit exaggerated, but the power of these small electromagnetic cannons was indeed far more terrifying than muskets, and they could cause fatal damage to many Red Devils. Hitting the knight's armor, the breastplate can often be broken in half. Those inside will be reduced to pieces.
As for those 'guys without eyesight' - how could the real robbers dare to rob Leiden's group. However, on the way back from collecting the goods this time, the several lords who caused mischief on the road must have been completely shocked.
Under the escort of the Dome Eagle Knights, all the goods have basically arrived at Dome Eagle City. The knights and soldiers are busy transporting the goods from the large carriages to the huge 'Wind Shuttle'.
"Leiden, is this batch of goods much larger than we planned?" Looking at the large carriages, George touched his chin. According to the original plan, the quantity of this batch of goods was probably more than one hundred cars, but now the quantity seems to be twice as much. And there are many more types of goods than originally planned.
Some of them are even works of art.
"Indeed, sir. Many of them are other people's goods, and some of them are the royal family's goods - these guys have helped a lot, so they all bought shares. With their reputation, we have to buy them. "Leiden stroked his beard and said: "After the nobles of the kingdom heard the news from us, each chamber of commerce formed another caravan. Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders and collected all the goods we needed. ”
George nodded, understanding what Layton meant.
He could guess that Leiden had probably put a lot of effort into collecting these goods this time.
Judging from this situation, Alfonso has already started work in the royal capital, and those who oppose him have also gathered together.
Thinking of this, George looked at the unfamiliar faces not far away - they seemed to be people sent by various nobles.
Although the nobles' shareholding this time has divided a lot of profits, the profits of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce can still be guaranteed. The only regret is that transporting more goods not only increases risks and costs, but also they may not be able to manipulate these goods very well. This made George feel like he was working for nothing.
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. These benefits cannot all be taken for nothing by yourself, and you can pull everyone to make money together. From the perspective of making money, although it has increased some costs, from the perspective of the future development of Qiongying, establishing stable interest connections with these nobles is Of great benefit.
And it can be regarded as helping Alfonso a little, allowing him to carry out his work in the kingdom better.
"How much does our own cargo take up?" George asked.
"Half and half, sir. Two of them were taken out by our family." Leiden said - in fact, more than half of the 20% is Leiden's contribution (including the territory and the Chamber of Commerce in his hands) , the others are from various vassals and Qiongying Fort.
"We purchased the other three layers from territorial residents, workshops, chambers of commerce in the kingdom and other territories."
The other 50% is all other people's goods - of which the royal family accounts for the majority (20%).
"But Sir, Alfonso and I have already discussed that we can take out 20% of the profits from their goods - just do the accounting, and His Highness the Prince will turn a blind eye. "Leiden smiled slightly: "He asked me to take him to express his gratitude."
Of course, Alfonso's goods are not his own, but the nobles who followed him to invest in shares probably never imagined that Alfonso would cheat them out of their own money.
Having said this, Leiden's eyes began to search among the crowd, and gradually fell on a few merchants ordering goods. The leader was still dressed as an aristocrat, and there were three flower bells on his felt hat: "Those few Guys, they are all from Alfonso. The prince helped us a lot this time. In addition, he also provided several channels to the Kingdom of Stars."
George nodded, knowing that the people Leighton was referring to were responsible for the finance and accounts of this batch of goods.
At this time, Lorna reached out and poked George's waist, and then looked at a person not far away. After George was slightly surprised, he followed Lorna's gaze and found an acquaintance among the merchants.
"Oh, sir. That is Earl Gael (non-hereditary), an upstart who rose to power through business. However, although this guy only has an honorary title and has no foundation among the nobility, his ability is very high. Normally. It is said that Gale made his first pot of gold in the real Southern Wilderness. "
After saying this, Leiden laughed: "This guy is a real gambler. Compared with some hesitant nobles, this time he can be regarded as investing all his capital in building the castle. Came in this trade.”
After hearing what Layton said, George couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and his expression became playful.
A nearby Skyhawk Knight Captain saw the look in Big Boss Lu's eyes, waved his hand, and ordered someone to bring Gale over.
Gale, who was not far away, was confused when he saw the knights surrounding him. After he and the knights came to George, he suddenly laughed.
Gale had heard of the reputation of the "God's Throne Knight". He suddenly discovered that the man who had always called himself a bishop was sent by the Bishop "Avery".
But Gale didn't know what happened in Skyhawk these days - not many people in Elda knew it. Many nobles only knew that the Black Pearl Earl "Tanya" came to Skyhawk. They didn't know that the world had completely changed here.
Some well-informed guys may have smelled some accurate news, but for guys at Gale's level, it is a bit difficult to get close to those powerful people - even if there are some social connections, they are purely used by the nobles.
Or to say, he was acting as an errand boy - he was now running errands for Alfonso.
But he did not become Alfonso's confidant. So although Alfonso told him that he would cooperate with the Sky Eagle, he did not tell him the exact situation - in order to avoid making the situation in the capital too complicated, it was not suitable to bring the Throne Knight to the stage now.
"My dear bishop! It's been a long time since we last met!"
