Chapter 280. The returning caravan of traders

Hearing the maid's greeting, Kant was slightly stunned: "Good morning?" ”

Turned his head to look out the window.

It was bright, but not as bright as it was at noon or in the afternoon.

"When-when-when-when......"

A dull bell rang.

It is the bronze bell that is striking the time.

After thinking about it eight times, it means that it is now eight o'clock in the morning, which is not early in the morning, but can be regarded as morning.

"Thisβ€”" Kant was a little stunned.

It didn't seem to be any different from the time I had just come to my room to sleep.

Did you just sleep for a short time?

Kant wondered.

The pretty maid pursed her lips and chuckled, and explained to Kant: "Your lord, you have slept for a day and a night, and it is the next morning, I think you must be hungry, so please pad your stomach with these desserts." ”

In the tray, there is a dessert similar to yesterday.

But it's steaming, apparently just done, sprinkled with dried date cash, and the look is very tempting.

"One day and one night."

Kant rubbed his hungry stomach and got out of bed.

With a stiffness of lying down for a long time, he twisted his neck, sat down in his chair in his pajamas, and commanded the pretty maids, "Tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast, I am very hungry now." ”

"Yes." A maid immediately turned around and went to communicate.

There was dessert on the table, and Kant stuffed a few pieces.

It's really a hunger-based meal, and for sweets, he doesn't like to serve them as his main meal, even if the price of this food is slightly heavier.

It's a long-standing eating habit.

In the Lion Principality, the food is mostly salty meat products.

Although there are desserts, most of them are honey, and items such as white sugar and brown sugar have never appeared, after all, to obtain this kind of sugar, you need sugarcane, a plant with a high sugar production.

But there is no sugar cane in the Duchy of Lion.

In Kant's impression, such a thing as sugar cane also never appeared.

Just as the camel is an animal that has never left the slightest record among the human nations of this world.

For example, when Kant and Manid led the camel team to the Rock Pass, they attracted a lot of curious eyes, but most of the soy milk camels were regarded as alternative large pack horses, which did not move fast and did not have the high explosion of war horses, so they quickly turned their curiosity into ignorance.

Among the horse species, the most precious nature is the war horse, as long as the country has a large number of war horses, it can form a large and powerful cavalry force, which is the trump card on the battlefield, and can easily determine the situation on the battlefield.

As for the breeds of horses that are conducive to people's livelihood and can only carry goods, they are not valued at all.

It's the difference between the two worlds.

After all, even the crystal wall system is not one, and even the basic laws are fundamentally different.

At least there are no camels and sugar cane in this world, and in comparison, there are no demons, spells, gods and other things on the earth.

Soon, the delicate maids brought breakfast.

Fried cutlets, fried eggs, fried fish, as well as unknown tender wild vegetables, small skewers of edible berries.

There is also cereal, toast and toast, and dates.

The food was plentiful.

It can also be seen from this that the Sanwaya Mountains are entering the normal process and have begun to supply the sentry oasis with a small amount of supplies, such as these delicate wild vegetables, as well as berries, which were brought back by the camel caravans.

Uprooted, temporarily transplanted into a wooden basin, watered and transported back, can ensure half a month's vitality.

If you're lucky, you can even plant it in the shade of a date palm tree.

The shade of the trees shaded the sun, and the water in the canals moistened these edible wild plants and berry bushes, and the small number of transplants was limited by the caravan load, but it could provide for the lord Kant, who could enjoy the hard-won tender wild vegetables and fresh berries for three meals a day.

Just like Kant now, enjoying the deliciousness of food.

Tender lamb chops, pan-fried whole fish, berries and wild vegetables as a side dish.

The taste is superb.

Kant was stunned, this was even better than before he left.

After taking a bite of the soft and crispy bread baked and swallowing it with an omelette, Kant turned to the maid waiting next to him and asked, "Are all the kitchens now in charge of professional chefs?" ”

"You're right, my lord."

The maid next to her smiled sweetly and replied respectfully to Kant: "The three master chefs and seven assistant chefs in the Consulate are all full-time chefs who have learned from the Artisan Guild. ”

"Well, that's good." Kant nodded.

The maid added, "Even the chefs in the tavern and the barracks are full-time chefs trained in the artisan guild, and now the quality of the food in the castle has improved a lot, and it is much more delicious than the food cooked by our aunts." ”

"I see." Kant chuckled, it seemed that after leaving, Fatis recruited and trained full-time personnel.

The Artisan Guild can cultivate all kinds of talents.

In particular, handicraft talents, whether blacksmiths, tailors, cooks, salt boilers, or tanners, can be trained, so that ordinary civilians who have no skills can become the pillars of jobs in all walks of life.

That's what chefs do.

But more often than not, it is the talent of the construction of weapons workshops, blacksmith shops, salt workshops and sugar workshops.

The current "Drehem" Castle has increased the amount of salt produced every week from 200 bags to 500 bags now, and the profit that can be obtained every month has reached 25,000 large silver coins.

Thanks to the purchase of more dromedaries to form a caravan, more coarse salt can be transported back.

But thanks to the excellent salt workers who can make up for the loss.

25,000 large silver coins per month, which was a terrifying number in Kant's eyes at the beginning, if it could be exchanged for dinars, it would make him laugh and couldn't find the north!

Unfortunately, the currency cannot be exchanged.

It can only be exchanged for dinars by exchanging them for gold.

So Kant sent Manid to the Solid Stone Pass to inquire about the price of gold, a precious metal.

Now he has accumulated nearly 100,000 large silver coins, and if they are converted into gold, according to the rough price that Kant understands, he should be able to have 1,000 golden eagles, the currency of each country.

Similar to large checks, they do not circulate to the outside world, but only between high-ranking nobles and the state.

But as long as you have money, you can still buy it.

Kant was only sending Manid to secretly probe.

If you can get 1 golden eagle, then you can know the price of these gold, and how many dinars can be exchanged for it, so that Kant can know how to make money quickly in the future, and how to exchange a large number of dinars conveniently.

After eating breakfast quickly, the hunger in my stomach suddenly disappeared, bringing a kind of satisfaction.

The pretty maid quickly cleaned up the table.

Kant walked to the top floor.

The Consulate is a 6-storey building with a great view from the top and a view of the entire castle.

If you want to overlook your sentry oasis and the Narun Desert, you can also go to the 40-meter-high high-level watchtower, and look at the surrounding scenery, which is even more magnificent and spectacular.

But Kant wasn't there to enjoy the scenery.

He went to the apprentice's quarters.

This is the foundation of the Mage Tower in the Einface Empire, where the apprentices live and rest.

Since Kant extracted the building, it has also been incorporated into the Consulate, spending 50 dinars per week, allowing for the recruitment of 1 mage apprentice with basic spells.

Kant arrives at the apprentice's quarters, delicately patterned with the grace of the Xuan Ao and Einfas empires.

His mind communicated with a certain golden card in his mind.

"System, use rule cards!"

Kant commanded in a deep voice.

A dialog box pops up on the retina in front of your eyes.

【Ding... System Prompt]

[Recruit Double (Constant) has been used.] 】

[Apprentice dormitory: The number of recruits per week has been increased to 2.] 】

The golden cards suddenly scattered, and the data stream converged in the apprentice dormitory in front of them, changing the rules of the building, although not much, but there was a qualitative improvement.

This is an upgrade that Kant has already planned.

With this out of his mind, he made his way to the edge of the top floor of the Consulate.

The Vekia marksman is standing guard.

When they saw Kant coming, they all bowed respectfully and saluted: "Your Excellency." ”

"Hmm."

Kant nodded.

The castle in front of it is neatly planned, the roads and buildings are like a chessboard, clearly organized, and it seems very pleasing to the eye, and the military area, residential area, and handicraft area are reasonably distributed, with a symmetrical beauty.

This is his castle.

Turning to the Vikian marksmen standing guard, he asked, "Did you find anything abnormal?" ”

"No, it's calm inside the castle!"

The Vicchian marksmen hastened to reply: "Everything is calm!" ”

"Good."

Kant had a smile on his face: "Be vigilant. ”

"Yes!" The marksmen replied firmly.

Just as Kant continued to look at other areas, at the east gate, a caravan of 20 camels entered, and the people around him stepped out of the way, condescendingly and conspicuously.

"Manid is back."

Kant understood in his heart and turned and walked towards the stairs.

Manid should be able to bring back a lot of good news, well, bad news.

After all, the central post station, Kant Ke promised to open trade, any caravan can enter the post station to trade, and there will definitely be a lot of nobles and merchants who will get the news, as well as the Baron Dylan.

Baron Dylan, who was at the Solid Stone Pass, regarded Kant's sentry oasis and salt mines as forbidden places.

Now the post trade is open.

Everybody can buy salt, but it's his profits that are offended!

If he didn't make any moves, Kant would definitely not believe it, and Manid, who was trading and inquiring about news at the Solid Stone Pass, was definitely the first to bear the brunt, after all, everyone knew that this young man was actually Kant's business spokesperson.

Go back to the first floor of the Consulate and sit in your lord's hall.

Manid arranged the caravan and quickly walked in.

"Good work."

Kant was the first to speak, smiling and welcoming him: "I am glad to see you back. ”

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Kant."

Manid stood still and bowed respectfully to Kant.

"Alright."

However, Kant chuckled, looked at Manid's face a little tired, and said: "It seems that you should have encountered some difficulties in the stone pass, usually you are not so serious." ”
