I have a shelter
Chapter 773 Lords' Council
Early in the morning, Salman stood in front of the floor-length mirror with full energy. With the help of the maids, he put on his tuxedo. Looking at his belly in the mirror, Salman patted his head and felt that the clothes were quite fitting.
The maids had brought breakfast in, and Salman had eaten it. He asked the maids to tidy up his room, then put on his monoculars, picked up his tall hat, and went downstairs humming a little tune.
In the hall downstairs, little Rona was leading the wizards to boil pots of potions.
These days, in order to improve the "incompatibility" of the Heavenly Kingdom Armed Forces, the wizards are boiling potions in large quantities. From those big pots, all kinds of strange smoke came out of those big pots, which made Salman sneeze a few times.
"Good morning, Princess Rona." When passing by, Salman took off his hat and greeted him. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, smiling brightly.
Little Rona nodded timidly, as if she was not used to this title and seemed a little shy: "Do you want to drink some?"
"No, Your Highness, these potions are very precious, it would be a waste if I drank them." Salman quickly waved his hand and said, "I am not worthy of it."
Salman had also benefited from this kind of potion to enhance physical fitness before, and had drunk several bottles. But with his physique, he could only take potions of level 1-2, and he could not bear any higher level.
But even so, he now felt as strong as a cow. The former puffiness had left him, and he had not taken any tonic for a long time.
After greeting the wizards, Salman came to the parade ground with his hat under his armour. Henry was wearing a set of temple knights' armor and inspecting the soldiers' morning exercises here. After seeing Salman coming, he called several knights and officers around him and went down to the mining area with Salman.
However, today they were not inspecting the situation in the mine, but meeting the local knights.
Today is actually a lords' council, located in the largest camp in the mining area. No matter whether they are mine owners or not, all the nobles in the Great Oasis have come. And the leaders of various gangs have also come. However, they did not come as gangs, but participated in this council in another identity - knights.
In this mining area, the gang leaders who have made it all have the title of knight.
This time, it is actually a reporting meeting. The output and situation of the mining area are mostly in the hands of the mine owners. As the new lord here, it is natural to have an understanding.
Of course, everyone generally conceals the information because it is related to taxes. Some of these concealed things will be sold to Nanhuang and Sand Country, but these two places have less demand for magic gems and more demand for ordinary ores. Therefore, most of the magic gems will be sold to the consortium privately through relationships.
George was too lazy to waste time arguing with these people, so Henry and Salman came today.
As the previous royal family of Sand Country, Salman has always been paying attention to the situation in Sand Country. The Canglan family even has the development rights of several locations in this large mining area. In this important mining area, Salman also has a noble relative from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. His name is ‘Matt’.
Matt is a distant nephew of Salman. He has a hereditary fiefdom in this large oasis and his title is baron. Although he has no mines, he is a real vassal lord of George.
Because the Canglan family has considerable power in the Southern Wilderness and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this distant nephew has been holding the banner of Grand Duke Canglan since his father's generation. Following this banner, Matt's family has been doing well here, and has also acquired a mine. It is considered a powerful local snake.
Matt is as ruthless as his father and has some ability. The development rights of the Canglan family's minerals are managed by him. He can be regarded as the spokesperson of the Canglan family here.
Matt knew about Salman's arrival a long time ago, but he never revealed anything.
As for Salman, he came three or five days earlier than George, but this guy has never shown his face, but secretly learned about the various forces here. Two days ago, he had a meal with the local snakes here under the leadership of Matt as the head of the consortium. He understood the situation of these guys.
Originally, everyone thought that the head of the consortium came here in person this time because he had many orders. So they all wanted to take Matt's opportunity to get some orders. Although the local snakes have the final say on how to develop the minerals here, the consortium is their big seller when they sell black goods.
This time, the consortium bypassed the local lords and contacted them privately, which made all the knights and gang leaders very happy. But who would have thought that this consortium director is actually wearing pants with the lord.
So Salman has not only understood the forces here clearly in the past few days, but also has an understanding of the real output of the mines in the hands of these guys. Of course, many people may have made false reports about the head of the consortium-in order to compete for orders, they should have reported very high numbers.
The leaders are not worried about how to complete the order, because as long as they get the order, they have plenty of ways to get mines in this mining area.
Salman wrote down the numbers reported by these leaders, and asked everyone to put their fingerprints when signing the contract. For him, he didn't care about the actual production of these people, he just wanted a number. Later, when Henry took action, if someone failed to complete this production, then the number reported to Salman by these people would be a reason for Henry to start the operation.
Who is Henry? After the fermentation last night, some well-informed people already know.
Today he officially showed his face, and when everyone saw the head of the consortium standing with him, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
However, at the beginning, everyone thought that the head of the consortium came here for a formality, but when Salman reported his name and said that he was a follower of the prince, everyone couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Interestingly, these knights didn't care about the princes and princes. But they were a little timid about the chief steward of the Canglan family. Especially when Salman mentioned some people intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation, the local snakes couldn't help but secretly wiped their cold sweats.
Among those mentioned, there are powerful lords of the Sand Country supported by the Southern Wilderness, and there are also tribal leaders on the grasslands west of the Great Oasis. They are all near this mining area, tightly holding the main roads of every trade route. Basically, they are all the backers of these mine owners.
If someone has a deep relationship with these people, then in this small piece of land in the Great Oasis, he can destroy whoever he wants to destroy.
However, what these people don’t know is that the relationship between the Canglan family and the Sun King has become somewhat subtle. Canglan’s power in Iberia has become greater, but because they are too close to George, their relationship with the Sun Kings in the south of the River of Stars has become worse and worse.
However, now Henry has the tiger skin pulled out by Salman, which is enough. Whoever the knights plan to move next, I am afraid that others will choose to watch the fire from the other side of the river for the time being, so as not to cause a big turmoil and affect the mine output.
