Transcendent Noble

second day.

Bishop Pierot deliberately postponed the trip and stayed in Flatlake Town. He still has some questions about public carriage for Victor's advice.

While Master Bishop was waiting for Victor, Victor had just started talking to Sylvia.

On the east side of Golden Oak Manor, there is an 8-mu stream reservoir. The area of ​​this artificial lake is small, but the scenery is very beautiful. It is full of invigorating pure air. The tranquil lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the straight golden hemlock beside the lake. A green brick path winds between the lake shore and the woods. There are also places for visitors on the roadside. Benches for rest.

Sylvia and Victor are walking by the lake. Today she is wearing a blue noble girl hunting outfit, without a forehead crown that symbolizes identity. The golden hair simply wears a ponytail, and her simple and easy dress is less than in the past. It is graceful and noble, more cordial and easy-going.

"The scenery here is good."

Sylvia stopped in front of a bench, and the well-trained attendant quickly cleaned up the fallen leaves on the chair, and then unfolded a folding circle. A few, offered dim sum preserves, they even lighted a small stove and started to make coffee.

In a moment, a lakeside sofa appeared in front of Victor's eyes, Sylvia twisted a grain of snow sugar candied fruit, said with a smile: "My dear, don't you plan to sit down?"

Victor, a noble pie, was envious. He sat next to Sylvia and deliberately teased: "Actually, the snow sugar candied fruit is pickled with jaggery..."

"It's very sweet. "Sylvia took the attendant's silk scarf, wiped her spring onion fingers, and continued: "Didn't expect, you really formed a fast bird light cavalry."

Victor was shocked. , If nothing happened un'ed, Sylvia glanced at him sideways, and said slowly: "I remember that the notarization we signed also includes the fast bird..."

Seeing that we can't get rid of it, Victor said helplessly: "I don't have enough Swiftbirds. I will supply it to you in two years, okay?"

"Hehe, I like to see you feel distressed and helpless." Sylvia said with a smile "You can rest assured, I have no interest in the flashy Swiftbird Qingqi."

The York family obviously can’t solve the Swiftbird’s load-bearing problem. Victor just relaxed, but heard Sylvia say: "I There are still 427 Swiftbirds here, do you want to?"

"Why do you have so many Swiftbirds?"

Victor was taken aback, he asked suspiciously "Since you don’t like the Swiftbird Qingqi, why have you raised more than 400?"

"Centaur Hills are vast and vast, don’t you think that only Randal has Swiftbirds?" Sylvia Liu Meiyi Pick, and said: "After I got the method to domesticate the Swiftbirds, I sent someone to hunt the remaining Swiftbirds in Centaur Hills. Adding the 19 pairs you sent over, I collected a total of 156 Swiftbirds, all of which were kept in the Black at the time. Castle Town. In a few years, the number of Swiftbirds has increased to more than 400."

"No wonder..." Victor nodded.

In the earliest days, Randal owned nearly 300 first-generation Swiftbirds. Later, the hill camp fell. Most Swiftbirds were brutally attacked by Ant-Man. Only a few 80 Swiftbirds successfully ran into the mountains. Luckily escaped. Victor took a lot of effort to catch them back, and Black Castle Town was not attacked by ants. Instead, the number of swiftbirds raised by the York family surpassed the swiftbird populations in the mountain fortresses.

Sylvia continued: "I simply didn't plan to form fast bird light cavalry. It is my purpose to cultivate alien war beasts with fast bird."

"Unfortunately, Bruce and Nicole learned from The alienation rat brought back by Great Swamp is not sufficiently alienated. Its flesh and blood cannot alienate ordinary creatures at all." She shook her head as she said, "The Swiftbird's load-bearing ability is too poor, so it can only be used as a scout and herald. The mount...I will give you all these fast birds to decorate the facade, how about?"

Victor solemnly asked: "What conditions?"

"Raw sugar." Sylvia stretched out her powder With a slender hand like a jade, he said: "Sell me 60% of Randal's share of jaggery. All 427 Swiftbirds belong to you."

"Raw sugar?" Victor frowned.

Raw sugar is a seasoning for civilians. Randal’s shipping price is only 4 copper sol per pound, and the highest market retail price is not more than 1 silver sol. Most civilians still can’t buy it. rise. At present, Randal owns 505,337 mu of purple cane forest, with an average yield of 7 tons of purple cane per mu, annual rotation of 5,000 mu, the sugar output of purple cane is 7%, and the annual output of raw sugar is 2450 tons, totaling 5.39 million pounds. In the past three years, Victor only sold 2.82 million pounds of raw sugar and made a profit of 8,700 kinsall, while the backlog of raw sugar exceeded 13.35 million pounds!

Victor can't breathe because of the huge inventory pressure. If it weren't for the sake of brewing purple cane wine, he would have stopped producing raw sugar. Now, Sylvia opens her mouth to buy 60% of raw sugar, which is almost worth 24,000 kinsall, and she is giving away 400 Swiftbirds for free! Victor couldn't ask for such a good thing. However, since it was Sylvia's request... then it has to be weighed.

"My dear, what do you want so much raw sugar for?"

"Help you to solve the backlog of raw sugar...What is your look? Do you sell it? Right?"

"Not for sale!"

Sylvia slim eyebrows, squeezed Victor's cheek, and asked: "Why not for sale?"

Sylvia slim eyebrows There is something special about Boan. Victor caught Sylvia’s delicate hand, kissed it, and smiled hehe authentically: "My dear, if you really want to get jaggery from me, you won’t use such a straightforward means. Moreover, you simply don’t lack jaggery. ."

"Go ahead, what good news do you want to tell me?"

Looking at Victor's triumphant appearance, Sylvia smiled, and her tight jade face thawed like an ice river. The rose was in full bloom, and she shook her head and said, "You really know me..."

"Some time ago, Sophia's Chamber of Commerce wanted to purchase raw sugar from me. They offered a price of 6 copper sol per pound. The quantity is not limited. As for the reason, they did not hide it from me. Sasan Empire was fighting the orcs and they found that raw sugar is a very good supplement. It is easy to carry, can quickly restore the soldiers' physical strength, and can effectively relieve hunger. So, Sasan Empire has designated jaggery as a strategic material and requires large purchases... I made a mistake at the time and didn’t write jaggery in the notary before the gods."

Sylvia pretended to be annoyed, and then said with a smile:" Congratulations, Victor. You have mastered a strategic material!"

Victor couldn't help but burst into tears. He always believed that the value of purple cane is immeasurable, but didn't expect cane sugar to be sold. However, purple bagasse seeds have become a sought-after commodity. Four years have passed, the function of raw sugar has finally become known, and the purple cane industry has reached the time when the ripening of the melons has fallen. It’s a pity that Randal once had several million mu of purple cane forests. After the ant disaster, only 500,000 mu remained. After three years of sprawling, it was able to grow by 5,337 mu. If you want to restore the scale of one million mu, at least It will take 17 years.

Victor took a deep breath and said seriously: "We have mastered a strategic material!"

"Yes. It is us!" Sylvia lightly said with a smile: "But for 20 years, the raw sugar trade is up to you."

After the York family discovered the value of purple cane, they searched everywhere for purple cane forests. There are really a lot of corners in Centaur Hills. The scattered purple cane forests do not exceed 600,000 mu in total, and now there are only more than 80,000 mu left. The York family regarded these purple canes as treasures and sent special personnel to guard them to clean up nearby weeds at all times to allow the purple cane to grow freely. Without a recovery period of twenty years, the York family will never harvest these purple canes.

Victor is surprised that Sylvia does not intend to intervene in these two decades of raw sugar trade! You know, the purple cane grows after it is cut. Even if 20,000 mu is harvested every year, there is an income of 140,000 jinsols. This is not a small amount of money.

Victor sighed: "Sylvia, I admire your boldness!"

Sylvia pursed her mouth and said with a smile: "Don’t hold me up, since I said no to interfere, Will not interfere with your raw sugar business.” Paused, she asked: “It won’t be long before Sophia’s confidant will go to Flatlake Town to discuss the purchase of raw sugar. What do you plan to do?”

Victor I moved in my heart and asked: "What price did Sophia set for Sasanian?"

"It is said to be 4 silver sols per pound of raw sugar."

"6 copper sols, 4 Selling Silver Sol, a full 24 times the profit... What a huge profit!" Victor shook the head, said: "Then they won't use it to find me!"

"en?" Sylvia's eyes flickered. Then, he said: "Of course the price can be discussed, but I want to remind you that strategic materials are not ordinary goods, and their impact exceeds the profit itself. If you increase the price of raw sugar, Sasanian will increase the price of green wheat accordingly. This is not me. What you want to see is not what the royal family wants. You will be under a lot of pressure!"

"I understand." Victor nodded said: "I agree with the price of 6 copper sols per pound. But they must go to Wild Willow City to purchase raw sugar. The reason is also very simple, we must support the commercial status of Beria!"

"However, I harvest up to 8,000 mu of purple cane forest every year, Sophia can get it this year 10 million pounds of raw sugar will only account for 4 million pounds each year. I will reprice the rest of raw sugar!" Sylvia Jaws agreed, "The more purple cane is harvested, the tax will be paid. The more you don’t tell me, I’ll also remind you."

Randal is inevitable to receive the 11th tax next year. Raw sugar is now a strategic material. The royal family of Gambis is also staring at this, 20% of the tax. It doesn’t seem to be able to get away. 8000 acres of purple cane is 8.62 million pounds of raw sugar, and 4 million pounds are given to Sophia. There are 4.62 million pounds left. The Great Chamber of Commerce from other kingdoms will come to share a piece of the pie. Basically nothing. However, Victor puts at most 3 million pounds of raw sugar on the market, and he will smuggle the rest!

With 24 times the profit, how can Victor not be jealous? Other kingdoms find that they can buy strategic materials in short supply through private merchants, how can they not maintain the smuggling caravans? When the smuggling caravan grows, Victor will increase the production of raw sugar and form a dominant situation. Of course, there is no way to transfer huge amounts of raw sugar on rugged mountain roads, but Victor already has an overall plan for smuggling bulk materials, and the church plays a key role in it!

"It seems that I want to talk to Bishop Pierot, and I have to go to Raven Town to start the smuggling caravan in the north!"

Victor was thinking about it and couldn't help but smile. , Sylvia asked next to him: "My dear, what are you thinking?"

"Uh...I have a lot of income right away, of course I am happy."

Victor's mood Great, said to Sylvia: "My dear, you handed me all those Swiftbirds for breeding. I provide Golden Water City with at least 60 Swiftbird mounts every year, and I promise you will have surprises!"

"Of course, you have been giving me surprises, and I believe you will give me more surprises."

Sylvia said tenderly and irresistibly: "My dear, I think now Visiting your hill camp, you... won't you refuse me?!"

Victor's expression suddenly froze, Sylvia said with a smile: "I can give you something Time to prepare. Is two hours enough?"

Victor stood up and stretched out his hand to Sylvia gracefully.

"No need to prepare, we can set off now!"
