Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"Master Lord, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. The northern border has changed drastically..."

George Santos, vice president of the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce, bowed to Harvey and exclaimed sincerely.

Although Harvey's attitude towards him was as gentle as ever, the experienced and slick businessman knew very well that in the face of the rumor that he was about to officially ascend the throne soon and become the new King of the North of St. Valen, he could no longer use it. The identity of "old friend" has been equally interacted. Facing a future king, the respect and etiquette they should have must not be missing.

Andrew, the mine owner and gem merchant, and Morgan, the trade director of the Royal Chamber of Commerce of Los Royal, still came with Santos... In fact, when they were invited by Harvey, they thought they had won the honor of participating in the other party's crowning ceremony, and they were flattered and carried them together. Many valuable gifts of congratulations came.

Gifts were delivered to the door, and Harvey naturally refused everyone. He held a small dinner in the castle that evening, and invited three leaders of the chamber of commerce alone.

"If I hadn't helped you to raise food some time ago, I would probably not be able to get rid of the blame in the city. Please accept my sincere thanks." Harvey sat at the dining table and raised his glass with a smile on his face.

Santos quickly stood up and responded, and smiled and said, "Mr. Lord, you are so polite. You have purchased food from us at a price increase, and you have not suffered any loss."

Harvey shrugged and chuckled, "I am not the only lord of the fiefdom who lacked food before the autumn harvest. You are willing to sell me the food you stockpiled in your hands first. It is also a rare kindness and favor..."

Most merchants are profit-oriented, but like Santos and the other three, the huge chamber of commerce with family power spread across the southern border, in a sense, as their leaders, their status is not less than that of the noble lords - many nobles who are on the verge of bankruptcy are not good at their own management. , and even curry favor with them in order to obtain cheap loans or business cooperation.

And his pioneering leadership can develop to what he is today. Santos, the vice president of the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce... does provide indispensable connections and support.

Andrew swallowed a large mouthful of ice vodka, raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and saluted Harvey with a smile, "Sir, congratulations in advance for you on becoming the new king of St. Valen. Next time we are summoned by you, we should I changed my words to call you His Majesty the King."

Harvey also raised his hand with a smile and responded to his congratulations.

Then the few people chatted for a few more times until the dinner ended, and it was finally time to talk about the main business while having enough wine and meals.

Santos quietly gave a wink at Andrew and Morgan, and he took the initiative to stand up and asked Harvey: "Master Lord, I don't know that we will be summoned alone this time. In addition to attending your upcoming coronation ceremony, There is something else…”

Harvey put down his wine glass and said straight to the point: "A brand new cooperation plan can give us new business opportunities that win-win for all parties."

"Cooperation plan? New business opportunity?" Andrew obviously felt a little drunk, and he was not as cautious as he was at the beginning, and said in a sour tone, "Sir, you gave the Longshi Chamber of Commerce a specialty for epidemic medicines, but let him earn money I have a lot of money. In a few years, I am afraid that all the accumulated wealth can be bought by Orland. If there is really a better business, please don’t forget me this time!”

Although Andrew and Morgan met through Santos, they actually helped the North. Not long ago, President Andrew, who took refuge in domestic refugees and purchased slaves, did a lot of effort. The Royal Chamber of Fallos, headed by Morgan, worked hard to cooperate with the secret police under Harvey to build a sound intelligence network with their trade points that reach the entire territory.

Harvey waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "Don't blame me for losing one's care. This time I called all three of you at the same time."

He paused, turned to look at Santos, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you ask me before, can you sell the armored ships that can sail at high speed on the river?"

"What? Are you willing to sell it?" Santos and Morgan screamed almost in unison.

"Military ships cannot be sold, but civilian models can be discussed... but there is no spot stock, so you can only book in advance, and the full payment needs to be paid in advance."

"I am willing to order three ships! There is no problem with the advance payment!" Director Morgan said immediately before Harvey could finish his words.

After all, he is the head of the Royal Chamber of Commerce of Faros, a country of Thousand Sails. When he is mainly engaged in maritime trade, he is obviously more aware of the value of ironclad ships sailing on the sea - ordinary three-masted sea ships made by the Royal Shipyard of Faros, each It can carry nearly 300 people and cargo of equal weight, and the cost is nearly 4,000 pounds. If you are accompanied by a captain with rich sailors and dozens of experienced sailors and boatmen, you want to launch such a large merchant ship , at least 5,000 pounds of cost.

Even such a expensive sea ship cannot guarantee that every long voyage will return safely - the sudden storm, the elusive pirates like hyenas, and some sea tribes with evil relationships will instantly let the chamber of commerce Inflict huge losses.

It's different with an ironclad ship. The story of Harvey's fleet defeating Duke Ralph's fleet in Sancha Town soon spread to all parts of the Principality. The well-informed heads of the Chamber of Commerce naturally heard about it. Without the help of sails and oars, the sailing speed can be far faster than ordinary sailboats. At the same time, the hull is made of steel and is extremely strong, which can easily smash ordinary wooden sailboats.

Fast speed means high transportation efficiency. If you encounter pirates, you can run fast. The hull is strong and can ensure that it can withstand storms and waves smoothly. Isn't it invincible on the sea!

No wonder Director Morgan immediately made an appointment without thinking, which made Santos and Andrew, who were a step late, regret it.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Harvey waved his hands and smiled, "You have already heard clearly about the advantages of ironclad ships, but you are probably not clear about its manufacturing cycle and cost, right?"

After that, he motioned the waiter to come forward and distribute a list of ship orders to the three people.

No mistakes, just read the content of the first post on 6-9 book forum!

"Civilian type 1, suitable for inland shipping, load capacity..., manufacturing cycle three months, price 8,000 gold pounds."

"Civilian type 2, suitable for long-distance sea transportation, load capacity... manufacturing cycle five months, price 12,000 gold pounds."

Morgan quietly raised his head and exchanged glances with the other two for a moment... Lord Harvey had mastered such a terrible monopoly technology, but he didn't ask for a sky-high price and ripped them off.

Although this ironclad ship was marked with a civilian model and had different specifications and sizes... it seemed that the price was not as expensive as they expected.

The King of the North really wanted to further cooperate with them in business, instead of using his own power to intimidate and extort them openly or secretly...
