No one knows King Arthur better than I do

He didn't know that this was a script written by Morgan, Artoria, and Merlin.

He just took a look at it like a dog-blood plot in a TV series. The sisters fight for property, the older sister either fails, or lets the younger sister go, and then moves out to do business independently, and finally ends up at this point...

If you think about it this way, maybe the embarrassment in Moore's mouth is not a little embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Carl laughed out loud.

"Ok?"

you have a problem!

Morgan didn't have any expectations at all, and planned to drink some wine and leave.

But after she finished talking about herself, it's fine if Karl doesn't feel sorry for herself, why is she still laughing?

She was a little dazed, but Carl just waved his hand.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I just think it's a coincidence—it just so happens that I feel that the business of this tavern is not doing well recently, and I plan to make some money through other businesses, and I want to find a partner."

"Even if you didn't talk about it, I planned to talk to you about the business problem. I didn't expect that something happened on your side. In this case, if your arrears can be delayed for three months, Your problem may not really be a problem."

Drag it up for three months...

Well, with the reputation of the royal family and the recent war, it's okay to use various reasons to shirk it.

so...

"What lucrative business have you found?"

Morgan was a little curious.

Karl smiled at her.

"Salt."

"Salt?"

Seeing Carl's confidence, Morgan thought that he really had something to do, but now it seems that there is a reason why he is so poor.

It’s fine if you make salt in other areas, but making salt in a country like Camelot that is close to the sea...It’s not that you don’t have to make money, but I want to make enough for her lack of money within three months But it's not enough.

Thinking of this, Morgan sighed.

And Karl had long thought that Morgan would be like this, so he took out a bag of salt from the cabinet and placed it in front of Morgan.

"If it's ordinary coarse salt, there's nothing to earn, but what about this kind of refined salt?"

Hearing what Carl said, Morgan curiously opened the small bag, and immediately saw the pure white salt.

She tapped it with her finger, used magic to confirm that it was not poisonous, and then licked it. The clean salty taste occupied her mouth in an instant.

"It's not bitter at all!"

The salt in this era is coarse salt.

After being dried in seawater, the color of the salt is not necessarily good-looking, and the sea itself has some strong or light bitterness.

It is not at the same level as the salt that Carl took out.

Carl looked at the shocked Morgan, and he smiled.

"How about it, if it's this kind of salt, do you think it's worth it?"

Morgan heard what Carl said, and thought carefully about what she could do with her identity, and then she didn't know which official or rich man she wanted to cheat. In short, her face hung like a little fox successfully stealing chicken The snickering that only comes out when.

"I think it's worth making money, and I can make a lot of money!"

......

20. Lancelot and Cavalier Kay make a decision

Moore's identity was already clear to Karl.

Although she didn't tell Karl her own story in detail, Karl had a rough definition of her identity.

The eldest daughter of a traveling merchant family, lost to her sister in the process of fighting for the family property, and was picked up by Morgan as a maid when she was down and out.But while working as a maid for Morgan, she also told Morgan that she came from a family of merchants and still wanted to do business.

Then Morgan thought it was funny that Sword gave Moore the chance.

After that, Moore said the classic quote to Morgan with a firm face:

——I am the woman who will become the merchant king!

Um...

Maybe Moore didn't know, but she probably had such an impression in Carl's mind now.

Therefore, regarding the business of selling refined salt, Carl is relatively relieved to hand it over to Moore.

Because the other party is from a family of traveling merchants, she will definitely do business, and she is also Morgan's maid, and she is familiar with many important people. If the interests involved are too large in the future, she may be able to get Morgan's help.

So the business of selling refined salt was handed over to her by Karl.

Then Morgan, who had learned something from Carl, went back to the palace with a few bags of refined salt.

She first needed to make a quick buck over the course of a few months.

Then it is to use the refined salt business to make long-term profits, so as to better maintain expenses and magic research.

In all fairness, this matter is not difficult.

After all, compared with coarse salt, the output of refined salt is similar.

The so-called refined salt technology is to add an additional step of filtration to the coarse salt production of the original sun-dried sea salt.

There's some chemistry involved here.

Use quicklime made of limestone to prepare milk of lime, and then use milk of lime to filter out the magnesium ions in the coarse salt - logically speaking, carbon dioxide should be passed through to complete the secondary filtration, but if not, it can also be left in the air , After a period of time, impurities will appear again, and it can be filtered again.

Filter twice and then distill, and then you can get the refined salt.

Compared with the production of coarse salt in this era, there are more filtrations and distillations, and it does not take much longer than the production of coarse salt.

Under such circumstances, the output of refined salt is actually the advantage of making profits.

Karl has spoken to Morgan about this.

Using the production of refined salt to replace coarse salt as the mainstream edible salt, under such circumstances, the originally scattered salt sales business can be integrated.

As long as the price control is reasonable, coarse salt will directly depreciate.

This is the core profit of refined salt business.

"But doing business like this will definitely take a certain amount of time to operate and operate. Under such circumstances, if I want to get money quickly, there may be a little problem - long-term profits will definitely not affect you, But in a short period of time, let’s use a simpler and more brutal method~”

Morgan laughed.

The few bags of refined salt she brought back from Carl were not for propaganda—no, it could be said to be a kind of propaganda.

In short, they used to eat coarse salt, even the royal family did not have this kind of refined salt, so it goes without saying for those nobles and ministers.

They must be rich.

Since they think they are superior to others, it is not a problem that the salt they eat is also "superior" in terms of quality and price, right?

Morgan is not stupid.

In this way, she can make a quick fortune, and then it is completely enough as a publicity.

And the most important thing - she has already got inside information from Artoria.

Artoria intends to form a high-level organization called the Knights of the Round Table, and also plans to decide on major national affairs in the round table meeting composed of the Knights of the Round Table.

Under such circumstances, those ministers of the older generation must be replaced later.

So Morgan is not afraid of offending people at all.

She felt that her plan was good, and she really planned to do it.

of course.

If there is any profit, she will still distribute it to Karl.

However, she still needs to think of an excuse to explain to Karl how to ask Mr. Morgan to do this, it's as simple as that.

☆

Eh.

I don't know how many times Cavalier Kai sighed.

Maybe the number of sighs he has sighed in the past few decades is not as many as the number of sighs in the past few days.

Even Lancelot, who had just met him for a short time, felt that he sighed too much, which made him feel worried about his new friend.

"Kay, what's bothering you?"

Accompanied by Lancelot's question, Lord Kay did not hide anything. After sighing again, he explained the recent situation to Lancelot who had just joined the establishment.

"Lancelot, haven't you noticed that the king hasn't eaten recently?"

Forehead…

Lancelot failed to understand what Kay meant.

"For breakfast, I saw the king eat it, and sometimes I can see the maids send it to the king's office for dinner--it is rare to see the king eating at noon, but for the strong and very young Wang For me, it shouldn’t be a problem just skipping lunch, right?”

"This is a big problem!"

Kay raised his voice suddenly, startling Lancelot.

"Well... that's right. For us knights, three meals a day are still very important. Besides, the king's height is not enough. A slightly bigger sword should not be used with the king's size, and he doesn't eat lunch. It's really not a good habit..."

Although Lancelot didn't think it was a big deal, since his friend was worried from the bottom of his heart, he really couldn't directly veto something that others valued.

Kai, however, shook his head.

"Sorry, Lancelot, I was too excited just now... But what I want to express is not what you understand. You have just joined the establishment not long ago, so you don't know the former king, although most of the places and the present It's not the same, but if there are any hobbies in the king, it must be food."

"For the former king, three meals a day were necessary, and if there was a lot of activity, there must be supper. Occasionally, when talking about something on an improper occasion, me, Merlin and the king would also eat a little bit. something."

"You may not be able to understand the specific situation just by me—but you just need to know that for our king, not eating a meal without any reason is equivalent to the destruction of the world tomorrow. That's enough."

Hearing what Kay said, Lancelot nodded with a serious face.

"Kai, although I still can't understand. But since you have said that, it means that this matter is really serious."

Lancelot thought for a moment.

"However, since you said that the king will definitely not stop eating three meals a day, then I judge that the king will still eat lunch. Under such circumstances, it is better for us to follow the king quietly at noon, see What do you think of what he's been doing all this time?"

"Lancelot..."

Originally Kay was just planning to complain, but never thought that Lancelot would understand this weird thing.

But Lancelot chose to believe him.

This trust moved Kay a little.

"Kai, you don't need to look like this. We are colleagues and friends. If we are on the battlefield, we will be comrades who can give each other their backs. And although we haven't known each other for a long time, I, Lancelot, also know that you are not a lover." Those who exaggerate or lie, the one who speaks the truth is your knight Kai."

"Ok!"

Kai nodded heavily, and had no objection to Lancelot's previous proposal.

Arturia skipped lunch for five days in a row - that's a serious matter!

"Thank you very much for your trust... Then at noon today, the two of us will set off together and follow Wang quietly to see what he is doing at noon."

"Okay, if there is really nothing wrong, then I will accompany you to plead guilty to the king!"

"Lancelot..."

In this way, Cavalier Kai and Lancelot made a decision.

……

21. Maybe Wang likes women's clothing...

Artoria once again rejected Kay's offer to go to lunch.

Artoria didn't feel guilty about secretly going to Karl's shop to eat at noon.

The reason is that—not to mention the taste, the meals provided to the knights in the palace are more expensive than what she would spend on a meal at Karl's shop.
