The large-scale salt trade involved a terrifying amount of large silver coins.
For 400 bags of fine white salt, Kant’s external price is 100 silver coins per bag, which is a full 40,000 silver coins. It is estimated that those merchants will use rattan baskets to transport large silver coins.
If you use goods, you can't match the profit of salt at all.
Nothing but spices and war supplies, or sweetened sugar, is worth the salt's profit.
No matter how good the ironware, cloth, farm tools, etc. are, they are dispensable commodities for fine white salt with amazing profits. Although Kant really needs it, those merchants will prepare some to please Kant, but they will never prepare There are too many, and it is estimated that I have prepared too much. In the end, the supplies in the car can only be exchanged for 1 bag of fine white salt.
This situation is not cost-effective, and it is a taboo in business, so those merchants will definitely not bring too much, so the Golden Eagle, which can pay a large amount and has a wide audience in the upper class, comes in handy.
One week is enough time to pass the news and transfer the Golden Eagle.
Although not all the roads in the Principality of Lions are paved with stones, there is no problem with laying stone slabs on the main roads connecting the North County, South County, and East County to facilitate traffic.
So it's very convenient to get all the golden eagles you need.
There is also the most critical point.
In the transaction, 1 golden eagle is not equal to 100 large silver coins, but the transaction of 150 large silver coins in the black market in North County. This is equivalent to an extra profit for the merchants, and it is the most elementary currency exchange. beneficiaries.
But the ultimate beneficiary must be Kant.
As long as there is a currency that can be exchanged for dinars like the Golden Eagle, that's enough!
The continent of Calradia will provide him with a continuous supply of various materials, including the Pendor caravan led by Jocelyn who has already set off, and the Fangorn Forest caravan led by Manid himself.
The three trade routes can give him rich rewards.
There are even wonderful prospects.
For example, in Pendor Continent, what Kant asked Jocelyn to bring was the most valuable gold.
This kind of precious metal is also what Pendor Continent is pursuing, and it can be exchanged for a lot of dinars. Of course, it is not cost-effective when you think about it now, but if you convert it into a golden eagle and sell it to Pendor Continent, the first Narco is still more valuable than Calradia!
The exchange of the system is calculated based on the exchange of the Calradia continent. The exchange method is to exchange with Jocelyn's nephew, the new leader of the caravan, such as buying and selling gold with dinars.
If you open up the Pendor Continent, it will be exchanged with the caravans in the Pendor Continent.
Prices are naturally different.
As for the Fangorn Forest caravan led by Manid, Kant didn’t know what the tree people needed, so he asked him to bring some gold, water elemental, earth elemental gems, and negative energy gemstones, these fantasy items .
When these two caravans come back, everything will be revealed.
Kant will step into a new glory!
But at this time, Kant had already arranged his troops, led by 10 Swadian royal knights, 100 Swadian knights, and 40 newly recruited desert robbers this week, to the central station.
The caravan of 50 camels is ready, loaded with fine white salt.
"Lord Kant."
Fatis stood in front of the city gate and comforted Kant: "Please pay attention to safety this time."
"I know." Kant nodded.
As the leader of the central post station, Rolf has dispatched desert bandits to report the situation quickly, claiming that a large number of caravans have gathered in the direction of the post station, all of which are waiting for trade.
At the same time, there are also unfamiliar troops like caravan guards, who may also have ulterior motives.
Kant is relaxed.
Wave forward and formally lead the team forward.
40 desert robbers scattered out as the first sentry to scout the way.
The 10 Swadian royal knights were safely protected around Kant, and there were 100 Swadian knights behind him. If they encountered enemies, it is estimated that they could be easily eliminated with a single charge.
The caravan of 50 camels moved slower, but moved at a constant speed, not far behind Kant and the others.
It takes about a day and a half from the sentry oasis to the central station.
Just in time to arrive early in the morning on the weekend.
Time came.
Nothing happened.
After resting a few times in the middle, avoiding the heat at noon and the cold in the middle of the night, we soon arrived at the desert plain where the central post station was located, and the post station in the middle was already conspicuously visible.
The rising sun dispelled the chill of the night, and it happened to be early morning.
Kant rode his horse on the top of the dune.
Looking at the post station in the distance, I have already seen a caravan, and they are setting up tents not far from the south side.
The bonfire has not been extinguished.
Many caravans are still making breakfast.
Curly green smoke appeared over the desert, it didn't look like a deserted place, but a settlement where a group of traveling caravans rested together, the scene was in perfect harmony with the desolate environment of the Nalun Desert.
Kant's arrival caused a commotion.
Especially the camel caravan full of sacks, urged by 10 civilians with whips, attracted the attention of the caravan department.
Many businessmen, regardless of breakfast, got active and flocked to the direction of the post station. Because the desert robbers were guarding with spears, they did not dare to approach. Instead, they eagerly looked forward to the arrival of Kant and the camel team.
For them, that means the dinar, the expensive golden eagle!
The station also found Kant and their arrival.
Rolf took the 3 royal knights and 10 Sarande riders to greet them in person.
Seeing Kant, he quickly got off his horse, bowed respectfully and said, "Master Kant, why are you here in person? There may be danger here, so I reminded Fatis."
"I asked to come."
Kant chuckled, and reached out to support him: "Get up, let's go to the station to talk."
"Yes." Rolf immediately got back on his horse, tapped on the horse's belly and led the team.
Businessmen are even more eager.
Seeing Kant coming, they all waved their hands.
"Baron Kant, here, we are a caravan from the South County leader, I hope to talk to you!"
"My lord! My lord Kant! We are from South County, and our caravan leader hopes to establish a friendship with you. If possible, can we talk alone?"
"Baron Kant, we are from the East County Territory, and we also came here with friendship. We hope we can talk!"
But Kant didn't care about them.
Instead, Rolf reined in his horse, waved his whip and angrily said: "Shut up, Mr. Kant has had a hard time trekking here and needs to rest. If you continue to make noise, then you will be disqualified from this trade. If you don't accept it, all future trades will be cancelled. , if you don’t believe it, you can try it!”
His words were very effective, and the calls of the merchants suddenly weakened and became silent.
