"No problem, Lord Kant."
The caravan leader put down the sheepskin scroll, and said in a hesitant tone: "Oil, tools, and linen are all available in the caravan, but the price is a bit expensive."
"How much does it add up?" Kant didn't care.
"2 jars of oil 1,000 dinars, 10 tools 2,000 dinars, 5 bolts of linen 1,000 dinars."
The caravan leader finished counting the prices, looked at Kant hesitantly, and said, "The total is 4,000 dinars, but I can give you a discount. You only need to pay 3,800 dinars to take these goods."
"3800 dinars?"
Kant touched his chin, this is indeed a lot of money.
But he smiled lightly and said, "Then, can I exchange dates for something?"
"sure."
The leader of the caravan was slightly dazed, but still nodded, and after some calculation, he said, "But we only need the high-quality dates like before, and we need 76 baskets in total."
1 date palm tree can harvest 2 baskets of dates.
Now Kant has 120 date palm trees, representing 240 baskets of date palms.
Calculated at 50 dinars per basket, it is equal to 12,000 dinars, which is why Kant is very confident and dares to buy so many things directly.
If the current Zhiwadin caravan has enough dinars, Kant dares to turn all of them into cash!
It's a pity that this caravan has a maximum of 3,000 dinars of funds.
Can only be bartered.
"76 baskets of dates, no problem at all."
Kant nodded with a smile, and agreed directly. After all, last week, 200 farmers worked hard for 2 days and finally picked all the 100 date palm trees.
The 200 baskets of dates are left to dry on linen cloth, turning them from fresh to dried.
It is definitely not enough to eat.
Now bartering things to become the most scarce items in the sentry oasis is the most important thing.
Now that the communication has been completed, the materials Kant needs are moved out in the carriage.
And 76 baskets of dates were also stacked at the entrance of the grocery store, so full that they were about to block the road, and the sentries who were being used as labor were also quickly stacking the dates in the carriage.
Basket after basket, the dates are stacked on the wagon.
The 3 carriages swallowed all the 76 baskets of dates, which is absolutely impossible in reality.
Looking at the unchanging goods above, Kant also thought deeply. It must be that the system has the space folding technology. Otherwise, 76 baskets of dates would have to be loaded by 5 carriages.
"So farewell."
Before leaving, the leader of the caravan still respectfully said to Kant: "Lord Kant, thank you for your hospitality this week. If there is no accident, we will meet again next month, and I will bring you more goods."
"See you next month." Kant nodded.
The two sides waved goodbye, and then the Zhiwading caravan set off again, and the three carriages walked slowly towards the outside of the sand dunes.
There is still 1 caravan leader, 6 caravan guards, and 12 sentries.
Going around the sand dunes, it disappeared like an illusory shadow, and returned to the mainland of Calradia through the mighty power of the system, heading towards the Vekia town of Zhivadin.
Kant is not surprised by this.
The system has always been like this.
"Come here a few people."
Kant turned his head and yelled, and 10 Swadian militiamen came quickly.
Pointing to the supplies on the street, he instructed them: "Move these supplies back to the storage room of the Consulate Hall, and be careful not to break the fragile items."
"Understood." The 10 Swadian militiamen nodded.
Working together, they carefully moved the supplies left by the caravan.
The fragile product Kant mentioned is naturally oil packed in clay pots. This kind of thing with a unit price of 500 dinars is a luxury product. It is high-quality animal fat. It can not only be eaten, but also can be used to maintain weapons, or as a kindling thing.
Commoners can't afford it. These are all strategic materials, and they are good things that every lord must hoard.
For Kant, there are other uses.
"Since my father still has feelings for me, maybe I can tentatively contact the Principality of Lions."
Frowning slightly, Kant was also thinking about it.
Sticking to the Nalun Desert and developing secretly is of course the main part of his plan, but it is impossible to completely stay in this barren desert and completely cut off contact with the Lion Principality.
At least the salt mines that are going to be occupied in the future need a market.
And the only outlet is precisely the Lion Principality.
Besides, in the production of white salt, charcoal plays an essential role as fuel and filtering materials. Except for the junction point between the Nalun Desert and the Principality of the Lion, there is a large amount of wood in the Sanwaya Mountains. Kant can’t find where there is such a thing. kinds of supplies.
The 10 iron tools bought are actually 10 felling axes made of high-quality iron.
Kant naturally had arrangements.
Have the Swadian farmers go to a more secluded part of the Sunwaya Mountains and build a lumber mill.
At the same time, let the elite desert robbers ride their horses to the salt mine to steal the original coarse salt on the saline-alkali land.
Although the cost is quite high, but as long as the scale is formed, the finest white salt is produced and transported to the Principality of Xiongshi, a virtuous circle can basically be formed, and the profits are unimaginably high!
"Da da da…"
The sound of hurried hoofbeats appeared in my ears.
Kant looked up, and at the sand dunes in the northeast, a dozen cavalrymen were coming on horseback.
His expression remained unchanged.
This is not the enemy, but Fatis and the 17 elite desert robbers who have just returned from investigating the surrounding situation.
There are three necessary patrols every morning, noon and night.
Although there are watchtowers in the sentry oasis, the view is limited after all.
Let these light cavalry go, and go directly to the surrounding desert for reconnaissance, to see if there are any unusual footprints on the sand, and if there are any abnormalities, they can be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Call—"
Fatis came back with the cavalry, reined in the horse and slowed down.
Seeing Kant standing at the entrance of the street to inspect, Li Suo got off his horse and saluted respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Kant."
"Morning, Fatis."
Kant nodded, and scanned the 17 tough elite desert bandits at the same time: "Did you find anything abnormal?"
"No, everything is safe."
With a smile on the corner of Fatis' mouth, he said with great relief: "This is the best."
"Of course." Kant also nodded.
Now is the stage of development, if the wolf man is still entangled, it will be really uncomfortable for Kant.
As the victor, Kant temporarily took the initiative.
And one of the fruits of victory also includes time.
As long as Kant can quickly develop "Dherim" in this short period of time, and have the strength to fight against that wolf man tribe, everything will be fine.
Kant had no doubts.
Victory is ultimately his.
"Besides, I still have 3 unused volleys."
With a long breath, Kant was also full of confidence.
The 3 volleys of 500 Vikia marksmen were absolutely overwhelming.
After all, he was the strongest archer, and he used the best conical arrows. For those jackals without armor and shields, facing such a rain of arrows, the final result would be heavy losses.
If Kant's three volleys were used well, they could almost equal the charge of the previous 50 retinue knights.
"Fatis."
Thinking of this, Kant couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Please speak, Lord Kant." Fatis responded immediately.
But Kant remained silent for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at Fatis, and asked in a concentrated voice: "If we attack the wolf man tribe in an all-round way with our current strength, what do you think the chance of winning is?"
"Uh..." Fatis couldn't help being taken aback.
Obviously, he had no idea at all about Kant's wild ideas.
In other words, Fatis knew the size of his own army. There were less than 100 soldiers, and the number of farmers as auxiliary soldiers was close to 300. It would be really whimsical to directly attack a large tribe of more than 2,000 wolf men.
But at this moment, a system prompt suddenly appeared on Kant's retina.
[Ding...main mission released]
[Main quest: The first strong enemy]
[Mission rewards: 10000 dinars, 1000 prestige, 10 honors.]
[Introduction: In a long life, the first strong enemy is always hard to forget. It represents strength and invincibility, just like a giant, leaving an indelible impression on your heart when you were still young. But as long as you defeat it, you will find that this is just the first stumbling block in your life. Although it is impressive, it actually represents the fear when you are not yet strong.]
(Let me explain here that I changed the barley to wheat. I hope you will not be offended... But I checked and found that the production of dates is really bad, no wonder it is desert bread...)
