For Kant, the captive wolf man worth 30 dinars per person is the fastest way to obtain dinars at present, because as long as he thinks, there are countless wolf men in the Nalun Desert or the Sangwaya Mountains The Horde awaits his presence.
This is also the reason why he has never worried about the lack of dinars since he discovered that the wolf man can be sold as a captive.
"It is my honor to solve your troubles."
With a smile on his face, the leader of the caravan bowed his head and gave a compliment.
Gnoll captives are the most popular commodity in the Vikia Kingdom. They are deeply loved by those snowfield mine owners. Although they eat more, most of them seem to be honest and willing to work. 1 Gnoll can beat 5 ordinary human miners. .
This is quite an excellent value for money.
So he entrusted a farmer who was a servant in the governing hall to help call a certain guard in his caravan.
Soon, the door of the governing hall was opened.
Wearing a linen robe, a very capable, yet youthful young man walked in.
He bowed respectfully at the table and stroked his chest, and saluted with a very solemn etiquette: "Good afternoon, the great Lord Kant, Mr. Manid, Uncle Jocelyn."
"Hello." Kant and Manid nodded in response.
However, Kant also chuckled, and said with a little self-deprecation: "But I just found out now that your name is Jocelyn." He looked at the leader of the caravan, and said in a helpless tone: "I always like to call you the leader of the caravan .”
"This is indeed my profession, and I love it." Jocelyn replied with a smile.
His answer was clever and did not embarrass Kant.
After all, he knew so much about riding and hacking in his previous life that Kant directly liked to call Jocelyn in professional terms in the game, and also attributed the leader of the caravan to him alone.
It is true to say that, at present, the leader of the caravan is indeed only Jocelyn.
"so."
Jocelyn asked the young man he admired the most: "Come and count the number of captives, and feed these new captives some food and water by the way. When there are 500 people, I will let you personally lead the team back to Zhiwading."
"I won't let you down, Uncle Jocelyn." The young man was immediately delighted.
"Go." Jocelyn waved.
"Yes." The young guard immediately bowed and saluted respectfully, and then turned to leave. Judging by the beaming appearance, he knew that he was very enthusiastic about leading the team back to Zhiwadin himself.
"Your nephew?"
When he left, Manid smiled and said, "It looks a little young."
"Yeah, I'm 17 years old, and I'm still so easily excited." The caravan leader nodded helplessly. He naturally recognized the meaning in Manid's painting, and sighed: "Let him try his hand this time, at least it comes from a miracle." The caravans in the land, with Lord Kant's reputation spread, there is no bandit gang on the Calradia continent that dares to rob, let him be a test."
"It's always good for young people to exercise more." Kant nodded.
Although his own age is only 16 years old, the total number of years he has lived in two lifetimes is already over 40 years old, so there is no problem in being a middle-aged man.
"I think so too." Joyce nodded, and sighed softly with some emotion: "He is the son of my former comrade-in-arms, but my comrade-in-arms died in the war with the Kujit. I help take care of his son, but he is pretty good, he is proficient in riding and swordsmanship, and he has inherited his father's bravery."
"A brave father must not have a cowardly son." Kant nodded reassuringly.
The atmosphere in the executive hall was somewhat dignified.
Manid obviously noticed it, so he changed the topic to business.
As the best young generation of the Nord merchant family, his ability to control the field during the conversation is absolutely no problem.
The atmosphere was restored.
Soon, the young man returned.
Still bowing respectfully and saluting, he reported to Kant and Jocelyn Hui: "This time there are 322 gnolls who were captured at a price of 30 dinars each, with a total value of 9660 dinars."
"Nearly 10,000 dinars?" Kant raised his brows slightly, although he was prepared, he was still shocked.
This time he went to the salt mine to chase and kill the slaughtered gnolls. Although most of them were in small groups, there were thousands of them in total.
Thinking about it now, what I killed was a jackal.
It was clearly worth 30,000 to 40,000 dinars, but it was so casually slaughtered and thrown into the desert, it became worthless!
Slightly shaking his head, Kant's mind flashed across the same number of gnolls in the Sangwaya Mountains, and he couldn't help but licked the corner of his mouth: "It seems that in the future, a special slave hunting team will really be set up."
Manid nodded in agreement: "It's a good idea."
"Yeah." Kant frowned. Perhaps this idea can really be implemented.
You must know that the current sentry oasis is quite barren, and the only commodity that can be produced on a large scale is salt.
However, although salt is a valuable material, Kant is also aware of the rules that bind it.
The system does not accept materials produced in this world at all. In the end, these salts can only be converted into silver coins through trade with merchants in this world, and become the capital for Kant to quickly establish a business circle centered on the sentry oasis.
According to Kant and Manid's thinking, the most is to wait for the world's economic development to be sufficient, and use silver coins to start purchasing gold that is allowed to be exchanged for dinars. Affecting the business circle established by Kant in this world can have a considerable impact.
Business is measured.
Exchanging silver coins for gold on a large scale will eventually only lead to a rise in the price of gold.
The rise of gold will even affect other business activities, such as country-to-country economic exchanges, large-scale business transactions, and then destroy the entire business structure chain from top to bottom.
In ancient times when there was no commercial concept, the collapse of the commercial structure chain could have serious consequences.
"Manid, remember the plan of this slave-catching team."
Kant turned his head, looked at his most trusted Nord business genius and said, "Maybe we should also discuss it with Fatis at night. I think this plan is feasible."
"I agree." Manid nodded.
At this time, Jocelyn, the leader of the caravan, had already counted the number of captives and the dinars that should be paid.
Slightly pondering, he turned his head and reported to Kang Dehui: "Lord Kant, you have captured 442 wolf man so far. If you can capture another 58 wolf man captives, then King Yarogerke's entrustment will be fulfilled."
"There are still 58 people left?" Kant nodded, frowning slightly: "It's very simple."
The final reward for the special task arranged by King Yarogerke of Vikia is 5 points of honor.
Kant coveted it quite a bit.
5 points of honor represent 5 chances to draw a lottery, and he will never let it go.
Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Kant ordered solemnly: "Come here, send an order to Fatis to lead the Swadian heavy cavalry to patrol around the oasis and bring back more captured gnolls."
"As ordered."
The door was standing guard, and the Swadian infantry who acted as guards answered immediately.
Since they are guards, they are also messengers.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door and walking outside, Kant's order was conveyed and implemented.
Just behind the sand dunes not far from the sentry oasis, there are a large number of gnolls lurking. Although some of them were expelled and hunted down before, there are still some who escaped the net. These are the targets that Kant arranged to capture.
Although the Swadian heavy cavalry fought deep into the desert, the effect was not as good as that of the Sarande cavalry.
But inspected at close range, these land tanks are still very effective.
What's more, with Fatis leading them, it won't take too long to complete the mission. Perhaps at dinner tonight, they will be able to capture a large number of jackals, as long as they crush a lot of stubborn jackal enemies with their horseshoes, The other gnolls who were already starving would definitely choose to surrender, it was really simple.
Kant pondered slightly.
On his retina, the current balance is reality.
[Deposit: 15614 dinars]
The upgrade cost of desert bandits and the cost of building aqueducts have all been taken into account.
However, selling the Gnoll captives twice, plus the previous balance, still caused Kant's savings to increase to a figure close to 160,000. Basically, the construction of the fort this month and the expenditure of the troops have been secured.
"My lord, we are going out for now."
Joyce, the caravan leader, bowed and left the governing hall with his nephew.
The caravan that was being deployed in the grocery store still had important things to deal with, especially with so many captives, Joyce didn't feel at ease and asked his subordinates to do it.
"Okay." Kant nodded to indicate his understanding.
He and Manid were the only ones left in the governing hall.
Slightly frowning, Kant raised his head and arranged for Manid next to him: "In this case, you arrange some farmers and peasant women to cook the white salt as soon as possible tonight, and you can set off tomorrow morning."
"Understood." Manid nodded.
"There is still a station." Kant frowned slightly, and said to Manid: "Take 7 Swadian light infantrymen and 10 desert robbers to station there. If the Stone Pass side wants to open a trade route, tell them , Our trading post is there, if we continue to go deeper, it will belong to the baron, and it is a private territory not open to the outside world."
"Understood." Manid still nodded, these are the plans they have discussed.
After knocking on the table, Kant was still a little worried.
He raised his head and told Manid: "Put more charcoal when cooking salt to absorb those impurities. I don't want my salt to be full of bitterness. Except for those serfs who have never eaten salt, they will become disgusted by nobles. joke."
"Please rest assured." Manid solemnly assured: "This will not happen."
