There are very few things in the central station that Kant needs to handle personally.
Basically leave it to Rolf.
As for wooing businessmen.
Manid, who was born in a merchant family, had more conversations with these guys.
In fact, when Kant led his team to leave, the salt trade had already begun. Those merchants from the Lion Principality with the support of various nobles had good exchanges with Manid.
This was a good impression they had cultivated before, especially under the background of Rolf, Manid made them welcome.
At least.
Manid will not get angry because of a certain sentence.
Although it is difficult to deal with in business communication, it is very observant of business rules.
For example, Rolf, this villainous aristocrat doesn't care about business rules or not. If he dares to speak ill of him or make trouble for himself, then the next step is to fight with swords.
Threatening to draw a knife on the spot is the next best thing. The key is that Rolf will really have revenge in the dark and quiet desert at night!
This is also Kant's arrangement.
Play hard and soft.
At least Rolf doesn't care whether he sings bad faces or not.
As an evil general, not only did he not have the slightest burden to become a knife in the hands of the supreme lord, but he actually felt quite honored in his heart.
Those righteous generals don't have the capital to become a knife!
The central station returned to calm.
Just like the old days.
The rules of the salt trade have been perfected. Merchants purchase bags of salt one by one, and arrange labor to transport them to the carriages they brought. As long as they are transported back to the Principality of Lions, whether they are resold or sold locally, the profits will be doubled several times. .
This kind of white fine white salt, even if ordinary civilians can't afford it, the nobles will not be stingy.
There are many nobles in the entire human kingdom.
In order to be able to eat refined salt.
A lot of silver coins were taken out.
After all, this is about the face of the nobility, which is equal to the dignity of the nobility, and is a symbol of nobility's decency.
And the aristocrats who dealt with the salt trade would make a fortune through this matter. If Kant could choose to cooperate with them, it would be tantamount to cooperating with a brand new gold and silver mine, and a lot of silver coins would be hugged in his arms.
No one would refuse at all, especially the goodwill conveyed by Kant's people!
The trade went off without a hitch.
The businessmen beamed.
At the same time, many spies in the caravan were also excited.
Manid had conveyed his goodwill, and although he hadn't given up the truth, the communication between the nobles was always tactful and hinted, and these exquisite businessmen and spies naturally understood the reason.
As long as they return to their noble territory, they will report the news.
Off the shelf credit!
If the connection is a little closer in the future...
Then the credit for their coming this time is even greater!
Looking at each other, these merchants bid farewell to Manid, and organized caravans one after another, and began to march towards the road they came from, preparing to go to the stone pass, and at the same time trek towards the family territory of their nobles.
However, there are still many caravans, and they all guessed why Kant would take the initiative to release his goodwill.
Swept over Rolf and the cavalrymen.
The merchants squinted slightly.
Although not as good as the top knights in the Lion Principality, these cavalry are also considered elite.
It is still self-contained, completely belonging to Baron Kant, who comes from the Lion Castle, and belongs to the second heir of the Lion King Cameron, a separate cavalry team.
Perhaps in the depths of the Nalun Desert, at the sentry oasis, there is still a hole card.
Seize the position.
The word comes to mind among businessmen.
But no one said it clearly, but they all understood by coincidence that the Lion Principality might be in chaos.
The second son of the Grand Duke who was exiled actually mastered a powerful force of unknown origin, and was lucky enough to discover a salt mine and gained a lot of wealth. How could it not make many people think about it
Most importantly, Baron Kant is really qualified to inherit the title of Grand Duke!
If standing in line in this upcoming fight...
The benefits will be unimaginable!
These are the businessmen's own guesses. Although they are almost inseparable, the specifics are decided by Kant himself.
Now he is riding forward, 30 lion knights are following behind him, walking towards the Sanwaya Mountains along the road stepped by the caravan, the gap across the mountains is in front, probably not How long will it take to arrive.
This road is very deserted, but you can occasionally see a lot of small objects thrown around on both sides of the road.
Like road signs.
In fact, it is not the way to go now.
It's just the traces that most people walked and stepped on in the Nalun Desert.
Walking day after day, without sandstorms or strong winds, the surrounding gentle sand layer is very clear. If you walk for many years, it is estimated that it can really become a road.
At least in the desert, it would be nice to have such a slightly firmer layer of sand.
It is uncomfortable only if the original sand layer is loose.
Not to mention the horseshoe, even if the wheels sink in, it takes a lot of effort to move forward.
When Kant and the first 20 Swadian farmers went to the sentinel oasis, the carriage full of supplies was pulled by two horses, and the wheels next to it needed the help of the farmers to keep up with the walking speed of the surrounding people.
It can also be seen from this that a carriage that can perfectly match the terrain of the plains is uncomfortable in the desert.
It can also be seen from the behavior of businessmen in recent weeks.
When the salt trade first started, merchants arrived in horse-drawn carts.
Now, the number of horse-drawn carts has dropped sharply, but the number of pack horses has increased. Even if there are horse-drawn carts, they are used to carry daily supplies, and they are still pulled by several pack horses to walk in the desert.
When leaving, the salt was on the back of the pack horse, just like a camel caravan.
Although less cargo is being carried.
However, the trek speed has accelerated a lot.
This can avoid too many dangers and avoid wasting too long in the desert. After all, for businessmen, the Nalun Desert is really a forbidden zone of civilization, a grave of life, and people will die if they stay here for too long!
Hurry up and go back, it is the most correct choice to return with a full load.
The carriage is not needed for now.
At worst, just go back to the Stone Pass and use the carriage.
Anyway, the salt trade at the central post station has a quota. Although they are monopolized by them, each person's share is also different. You just need to ensure your own part of the quota, and earn the silver coins first!
Kant followed this trodden path.
He was fairly familiar with the way to Stone Pass.
On the horizon ahead, the shape of the Sanwaya Mountains became clearer.
Continuously.
Just like a long sleeping dragon.
However, just ahead, an area in the Sanwaya Mountains opened suddenly.
It was a straight gap, forming a canyon, just enough to allow people to pass through this majestic and majestic Sangwaya mountain range, avoiding the danger of wading through mountains and rivers, breaking through demonized creatures and scattered low-level wolf man tribes.
That's right, there are so many dangers in the Sanwaya Mountains.
Enchanted creatures still exist.
Living in the mountains, there are also scattered low-level Chala people.
This is the nightmare of ordinary caravans, and it is also the nightmare of many villages on the stone pass or the edge of the mountains.
Usually, troops are regularly organized to clean up the edge of the Sanwaya Mountains, or mercenaries are recruited to go deep into the mountains to kill those targets that pose a clear threat to the rocky passes or villages.
But even so, villages, logging camps and quarries on the edge of the mountains will still be threatened.
This is also one of the reasons why the development of Jianshi Pass is difficult.
The suppression of the nobles is still second.
There are many dangers in its own territory.
In addition, the land is barren, and there are no rivers that can support agriculture and animal husbandry and commerce.
Only the Sanwaya Mountains, which seem to have rich natural resources but are actually full of dangers and are completely dragged down, make it possible for the Stone Pass to develop!
But think about it too.
If Stone Pass can develop, it won't be Baron Dylan's turn.
This guy is from the Yinpan Kingdom. Even if he has made great contributions, he is not actually a direct descendant of the Lion Principality.
If he wanted to climb to the nobility, even a low-level baron, there was not much possibility, but because of the gift of the Lion King Cameron and the acquiescence of many nobles, he officially became a nobleman and was granted this place.
As a buffer shield to guard the Sangwaya Mountains and block those demonized creatures and gnolls!
the next day.
afternoon.
The Sanwaya Mountains are already in sight.
The huge mountain range is majestic and majestic, and the peaks are arranged one after another, getting higher and higher, just like huge giants covering the sky and covering the sun, they are arranged in rows, shoulder to shoulder with each other.
Only in the middle, a seemingly thin seam appeared before the eyes.
It is the only canyon in the Sanwaya Mountains.
"Walk."
Kant shook the reins and rode forward first.
The interior of the canyon, which was originally a mess, has been cleaned at this time, and the sandy soil is leveled. The broken rocks and rotten wood that fell from the mountains on both sides in the past have disappeared at this time.
Along the way, you can occasionally see many mercenaries in pairs and armed with weapons.
It appears that the canyon is being maintained regularly.
Of course, after seeing Kant and the 30 lion knights in plate armor and linen robes behind them, their complexions changed drastically, and they retreated to both sides of the road one after another, saluting with smiles on their faces, without saying much.
Obviously they all guessed Kant's identity.
Kant didn't care about them either.
Swept calmly, and continued to ride the horse forward slowly.
Nobility's reserve is still necessary, and these despicable mercenaries don't have much to reciprocate.
Of course, Kant is willing to salute the soldiers and civilians from the world of cavalry and hacking, because this means that they are his own people, and they can rely on trust, which is different from these mercenaries who are open to money and will give their lives to whoever pays!
Apparently constrained by the lack of personnel, Fatis also recruited local mercenaries to help after taking control of the Stone Pass.
Kant didn't care.
As long as the stone pass is still in my hands, it will be fine.
