MTL - Release that Witch-Chapter 18 Messenger (below)
The abdomen is returned to the abdomen, and the banquet is still to be eaten.
The atmosphere of the dinner was fairly harmonious. The four princes did not talk about the ore. He couldn’t say anything more.
When the prince told the maid to change the dessert, Peitro tentatively said, "His Highness, according to past practice, today should be the day of delivery of ore, but I did not see any ore at the dock yard."
Roland put down the little wooden stick in his hand and nodded. "Unfortunately, the landslide occurred in the northern **** of the mine. I have been trying to resume production in the past month. However, the gravel in the collapse has not been cleaned up. Progress, the mining area is only going to be delayed until next year."
collapse? Pei Luo spent a moment, so smart? But he quickly realized that the other party did not have to lie to himself. Otherwise, going to the north **** will make it clear that the obvious lie is to hit your own face.
"That... two months before?"
"Not too much, by convention, then the stone can't afford my people." Roland added a tone to the word convention. "Mr. Ambassador, should you remember the demon moon two years ago?"
Peilu certainly remembers that the cold that lasted for four months has caused nearly 20% of the people in Bianque Town to starve to death. The reason is that the municipal officer Ferreno is insatiable. There was no voice inside the nobility, and some even asked to punish Ferreno afterwards. But in the end this incident was gone, only because he was the husband of the duke's second daughter.
Now that the prince mentioned this, Pello’s heart raised a bad feeling.
"This time is even worse," Roland sighed. "If you deliver in the same way as before, I am afraid I can only switch to a two-month share of wheat. My people can't survive the winter, sir, the past trade methods must be abolished."
Pei Luo opened his mouth, but did not know how to refute. He is not a professional diplomat. In the face of sufficient reasons, he really can't pick a problem. He has to delay the road. "His Royal Highness, I regret this matter. This time I will never repeat the tragedy before. I will Let the six families jointly lend a month's worth of food, and your people can wait for the next year to resume production and then slowly repay."
"If I sell it to Liuye Town, I can repay it without any need."
"but……"
"Nothing is good," Roland interrupted. "They are willing to use the Golden Dragon to buy stones, and at the same time sell wheat, cheese, bread, honey at market prices. Anyone who can buy them with Golden Dragon, they sell. Take a step back. Mr. Ambassador, even if you are willing to lend a month's worth of food, the other five will agree with your decision. As far as I know, the Duke of Ryan is not so easy to reach an agreement."
Pei Luo was silent, and the four princes were right. Not only the other five, he even did not even have the confidence to convince his father. In order to maintain the monopoly power, it is necessary to modify the trading plan, but he has no right to make a final decision. Said to be an ambassador, in fact, it is just a megaphone. Perhaps the Duke did not want anyone to personally reach any agreement with Bianbu Town? Whether the object is the former lord or the four princes. Therefore, he assigns different candidates every season, and these people are never the masters of the family.
Regardless of the outcome, he had to give it a try. Think of it here, Peilu spread out the final card, "30%," he extended three fingers. "The fortress buys ore and gemstones at a price lower than the market price of 30%. I think this The price should be higher than that of Liuye Town, His Royal Highness."
Roland said, "It's really higher, but it's still an old question. Can you make six unanimous decisions when you say it?"
"I will return to the Long Song Fortress tomorrow. After the agreement is reached, I will come with a new contract."
"But my people can't wait that long. You should know that it's usually time consuming to get an agreement between the nobility."
"His Highness, cooperation with the fortress is a better choice for you and your people. Liuye Town is too far away, although it can also avoid the demon moon," said Pei Luo Dry, "But the road is easy... dangerous."
God, the **** is on, what am I doing, his heart pounding, I am threatening a prince?
"Ha ha ha ha," unexpectedly, Roland did not violently jump, but laughed. "Mr. Ambassador, you seem to have made a mistake, I have not thought about going to Liuye Town."
"what do you mean……"
"Of course, I have no plans to go to the long song fortress," Roland looked at the ambassador with a look of interest. "I don't go anywhere."
Pelos suddenly wondered if his ears were wrong.
Fortunately, the prince did not let this strange silence continue, he went on to explain, "This winter, I will stay in Bianbu Town, Bianbu Town will become the new border of the Grey Fort Kingdom. Don't be so surprised, my friend, this Not talking nonsense, I can take you to visit the new masonry wall at the foot of the North Slope."
"City...wall?"
"Yes, the stone wall that connects the north **** and the Chishui River, 12 feet high and 4 feet wide. With this, we can defeat the evil beast in Bianbu Town."
Pei Luo felt that his brain was not enough. The ambassador of the previous season did not mention any city walls when he went back. No, then the people who were the lords of the town and the fortress, how could they send limited personnel to build this. In other words, when the Four Princes arrived here, they began to repair the city walls. Even so, it’s only three months now, what can I do at this point?
Wait... What did your Highness say? Twelve feet high and four feet wide, but also connected to the North Slope and Chishui River? Pei Luo estimated that the wall of this size could not be completed in a few years. First of all, he did not have so many stonemasons to cut the stone! Bianbu Town is not a gray fort, and most people who live here will only sell hard work.
Before he had finished digesting the news, Roland’s next sentence also shocked him.
"As for ore sales, starting next year, I am willing to reduce the price to 50%, sir, but not all sold to the long song fortress. Because you do not necessarily need so many ore. I think compared to the low-profit ore, you will I prefer some metal products, such as iron shovel and shovel.” When he said that he paused for a while, he seemed to wait for Pei to understand the meaning of his words. “As for the original stone, it will be auctioned in the highest bid. The merchant bought. Although I also want to buy a good price after the gem is cut, I am sorry that Bentham Town does not have such ability."
Then you have the ability to build a wall for a few months! Pei Luo is in the bottom of my heart, and does not need so many ore what it means, the output of a thousand Jinlong in a year, even if the output will increase, the death will double! Can you eat two thousand Golden Dragon Fortress? It’s too arrogant!
He resisted the innocence of his heart and tried his best to maintain his last etiquette. "I have written down all of you, my Highness. I will negotiate with the six after I go back. Just, you said the wall... I want to go Look."
"Of course," Roland smiled. "But don't be too hurry. It's not too late to enjoy the cakes of these king flavors, right? Mr. Ambassador."
