Lord of all tribes

Chapter 223 Hostage
It is also expedient to distribute the profits from the sale of Dukang wine to Carol.

As Carroll said, without his permission, Dukang wine could not enter the hinterland of the kingdom at all, let alone open up trade routes.

As for seeking the cooperation of other nobles who are more powerful than Carol, it is not in Rollin's consideration. First of all, there are not many upper-class nobles who can compete with Carol's brother, the Minister of Finance of the Dalton Kingdom.

Moreover, Luo Lin did not believe that they could offer a higher price.

In the final analysis, Luo Lin's influence is still not enough for him to preserve the existing complete interests. In this case, in fact, finding a greedy guy who loves to stand in front of him will save a lot of trouble.

"By the way, Your Excellency the Viscount, brewing Dukang wine still requires a lot of food. You also know that the northwestern part of the kingdom has always been full of disasters and disasters. There is not much food left. You see."

Rowling made an embarrassed expression. In fact, there is still a lot of surplus food in the Galactica, but with the gradual increase in population, and winemaking does require a lot of food, so the amount of stored food is according to Rowling As I thought, it shouldn't last long.

In addition, infrastructure construction is being carried out everywhere in the territory, and a majestic city wall at the city level must be rebuilt. A series of constructions such as these require the recruitment of a large number of young and strong. These young and strong are doing physical work, and naturally they need food full.

"That's not a problem, as long as Viscount Rollin can afford the gold coins, you can have as much food as you want!"

Carol spoke with full confidence. Of course, there is an older brother sitting in the position of the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom. Without this confidence, it would be useless.

"However, Viscount Rollin must have understood the price. There are various tariffs along the way to transport grain from the Kingdom's mansion, so the price should be raised appropriately," Viscount Carol said shyly.

"Hehe.. This is not a problem. As long as it is within a reasonable range, I will pay the price to Your Excellency the Viscount."

The name of an elegant vampire is indeed well-deserved, and she wants to get involved in any interests.

With Carol as an indirect seller of Dukang wine, it can be regarded as opening up a commercial route to the hinterland of the kingdom for Rollin, and the economic crisis in the Caledonian region can be regarded as temporarily coming to an end.

Three thousand bottles of Dukang wine were delivered to Carol every month, and a bottle of Dukang wine cost [-] gold coins, a total of [-] gold coins.

In addition to deducting the capital, there is still a net profit of [-] gold coins.

The income of [-] gold coins per month can be regarded as directly revitalizing the economy of the Galadi Land. As long as the monthly benefits are stable, the financial deficit of the Galadi Land can be eliminated soon.

The economic affairs of the territory were settled, and Old Quite was dismissed, but Arvid found Rollin again.

Arvid, the master blacksmith of the dwarves, came to Luo Lin for nothing more than two things.

One is that the wine is gone, and the other is that the iron ore is gone.

Luo Lin was also very helpless. Just like the dwarves' love for alcohol, they also liked to forge weapons and equipment according to their expectations in the hot blacksmith shop.

The days without iron ore to make ironware are boring and lonely, and even their favorite wine seems to have less flavor.

"My dear dwarf friend, one month, give me one month, after one month, you will see the iron ore that you can't use up in half a year!"

Rollin's head hurt from Arvid's chatter, the stubborn dwarf never knew what flexibility was.

However, the matter of iron ore is indeed urgent.

The craftsmanship of the dwarves is recognized in the mainland. The weapons and armor they produce are all high-quality goods. If the regular army led by Garadi can be equipped with weapons and armor of this quality, it will undoubtedly improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army significantly. of.

A sharp sword can kill the enemy more effectively, and a thick and light armor can make it easier for soldiers to survive on the battlefield.

Rollin also thought about getting a batch of iron ingots for casting through Carol's relationship, and he did so, but Carol, who has always been greedy, gave Rollin a very unexpected answer.

'No matter what price you pay, it is impossible for an iron ingot to pass from my Wobe stronghold into your territory. '

The blunt and forceful answer gave Rollin the illusion that what he saw before was not the fake Carol.

But at the same time, it also put an end to Luo Lin's hope of smuggling iron ingots through Wobe Fortress.

And within the territory of Garadi Territory, there is only one small iron mine that is almost exhausted, which cannot supply the needs of the dwarf blacksmith shop for a few days.

Among the surrounding territories, it seems that only Earl Jon's Versilia City has iron ore around it.

Luo Lin stared at the red label representing the city of Versilia on the map for a long time.

According to the dwarf Arvid, the iron mine in Versilia City should be huge, but Earl Jon never disclosed any news.

If it is said that Earl Jon did not mine this iron ore, Luo Lin would naturally not believe it. Among other things, if the equipment of the tens of thousands of troops in Versilia City is not supported by a huge blacksmith shop, it is impossible to equip it. not easy.

But since the city of Versilia was able to gather [-] recruits in a short period of time, and all of them were equipped with standard armored stomach weapons, it was worth pondering.

There is no doubt that there is a huge blacksmith shop hidden in the dark in the city of Versilia!
It is precisely because of the existence of this blacksmith shop that Earl Jon has never had to worry about weapons and armor, and he only needs to train new recruits!

First of all, I was convinced that there must be a large iron mine in Versilia City and it was reasonably used by Earl Jon.

The crux of the problem now is how to use the large iron mine in Versilia City for the Galady Territory. This is the crux of the problem.

A strong attack on the city of Versilia?Luo Lin recalled the tall city walls of Versilia City, and the existing [-] recruits in the city with full armor and stomachs. Luo Lin felt that it was better to put an end to this idea as soon as possible.
Take gold coins to buy from Earl Jon?Rowling felt that as long as Earl Jon was not a fool, he would not accept such an act of endorsing the enemy.

Gold coins won't work if it's a human
Luo Lin's eyes gradually brightened.
"What's the name of the commander of the Versilia city guard you captured?" Rollin thought for a long time but couldn't remember the name, so he directly recruited Brook.

"It's Jill Hurst, my lord," Brooke replied honestly.

"Yes, it's him. He's Earl Jon's nephew, right?" Rollin tapped on the armrest of the mahogany chair, thinking.

"Yes, according to what he said, he is still the first heir of the Hearst family."

"Very good! Send more people to guard this Jill and give him more food. This person is of great use to me!"
