For Kant, a jackal captive worth 30 dinars each was the fastest way to obtain the dinars at present, because there were countless tribes of gnolls waiting for him in the Naryn Desert or the Sanwaya Mountains as long as he wanted.

This is also the reason why he has never been worried about the lack of dinars since he discovered that the gnolls could be sold as captives.

"It's my pleasure to help you solve your problems."

With a smile on his face, the caravan leader bowed his head in compliment.

The Gnoll Captives are the hottest commodity in the Kingdom of Vekia, and are loved by the Snow Mine Owners, although they eat more, most of them seem to be honest and hardworking, and 1 Gnoll can top up to 5 human miners.

That's a pretty good value for money.

So he asked the peasants who were servants in the consul to help call one of the guards in his caravan.

Soon, the door to the consul hall was opened.

Dressed in a linen robe, he was very energetic, but he looked young and walked in.

He bowed respectfully at the table and stroked his chest, and saluted with a very solemn courtesy: "Good afternoon, great Lord Kant, Mr. Manid, Uncle Jocelyn." ”

"Hello." Kant and Manid nodded in response.

However, Kant also chuckled lightly, and said with a little self-deprecation: "But I now know that your name is Jocelyn." He looked at the caravan leader and said in a helpless tone, "I've always liked to call you the caravan leader. ”

"It's really my profession, and I love it." Jocelyn replied with a smile.

His answer was clever and did not embarrass Kant.

After all, in his previous life, he knew so much about riding and slashing that Kant directly liked to refer to Jocelyn in terms of the game and profession, and he also attributed the caravan leader to him alone.

That's right, the current caravan leader is indeed only Jocelyn.

"That's it."

Jocelyn instructed the young man he admired the most: "You can count the number of prisoners, feed these new captives with some food and water by the way, and when there are enough 500 people, I will let you personally lead the team back to Zhivadin." ”

"You won't be disappointed, Uncle Jocelyn." The young man's face was immediately delighted.

"Let's go." Jocelyn waved.

"Yes." The young guard immediately bowed respectfully and saluted before turning to leave, and by looking at his beaming appearance, he knew that he was very enthusiastic about leading the team back to Zhivading in person.

"Your nephew?"

When he left, Manid smiled and said, "Looks a little younger." ”

"Yes, I'm 17 years old, and I'm still so easily excited." The leader of the caravan nodded helplessly, he naturally heard the meaning of Manid's painting, and sighed: "Let him try his hand this time, at least the caravan from the Land of Miracles has the reputation of Lord Kant spreading, and no bandit gang on the Calradia continent dares to rob, so let him be a test." ”

"It's always good for young people to exercise more." Kant nodded.

Although his own age is only 16 years old, he has been a human being in two lives, and the combined number of years he has lived has already exceeded 40 years old, which can be regarded as a person who has no problems in middle age.

"That's what I thought, too." Joyce nodded, and sighed softly with some emotion: "He is the son of my former comrade-in-arms, but my comrade-in-arms died in the war with the Kujits, and he wanted me to help take care of his son before he died, but it is quite good, he is proficient in riding and swordsmanship, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's bravery." ”

"A brave father must have no cowardly son." Kant nodded in reassurance.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solemn.

Manid apparently sensed this, and shifted the conversation to business.

As the best young generation of the Nord merchant family, his ability to control the field during the conversation is absolutely fine.

The atmosphere is restored.

Soon, the young man returned.

Still bowing respectfully, he reported to Kant and Jocelyn: "There are 322 gnolls captured this time, which were purchased at a price of 30 dinars each, for a total value of 9,660 dinars. ”

"Nearly 10,000 dinars?" Kant raised his eyebrows slightly, although he had been prepared, his heart was still shocked.

This time, he went to the salt mine to hunt down and slaughter the gnolls along the way, although most of them were small numbers, but there were thousands of them in total.

Now think about it, it was the jackal who killed him.

It was clearly worth thirty or forty thousand dinars, and after such a random slaughter, it was thrown into the desert and became worthless!

Shaking his head slightly, Kant's heart crossed the same number of jackals in the Sanwaya Mountains, and he couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth: "It seems that in the future, a special slave hunting team will really be established." ”

Manid nodded approvingly: "That's a good idea." ”

"yes." Kant frowned, this idea may really be implemented.

You must know that the current sentry oasis can be described as quite barren, and the only commodity that can be produced on a large scale is probably salt.

But although salt is a valuable material, Kant is also aware of the rules in it.

The system does not accept the materials produced in the world at all, and in the end, these salts can only be converted into silver coins through trade with the merchants of the world, which becomes the capital of Kant's rapid establishment of a business circle centered on the sentry oasis.

According to the ideas of Kant and Manid, the most that is to wait for the economic development of the world to be sufficient, and start purchasing gold that is allowed to exchange for dinars with silver coins is not only troublesome, but also easy to cause turmoil in the already established financial industry, and then affect the business circle established by Kant in this world, and the impact can be quite significant.

Business is measured.

The large-scale exchange of silver coins for gold will only lead to an increase in the price of gold in the end.

The rise in gold will affect other business activities, such as state-to-state economic exchanges, bulk commercial buying and selling, and then destroying the entire chain of commercial structures from top to bottom.

In ancient times, when there was no concept of commerce, the consequences of the collapse of the chain of commercial structures could be quite serious.

"Manid, remember the plan of this slave catcher."

Kant turned his head and looked at his most trusted Nord business genius and said, "Maybe we should also discuss it with Fatis in the evening, I think this plan is feasible." ”

"I'm for it." Manid nodded.

At this time, Jocelin, the leader of the caravan, had also counted the number of prisoners and the dinars to be paid.

With a slight groan, he turned his head to report to Kant: "Lord Kant, you have captured 442 gnolls so far, and if you can capture another 58 gnolls captives, then King Yarogark's request will be completed." ”

"58 people left?" Kant nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "It's very simple. ”

The final reward for a special mission arranged by King Yarogrk of Vecchia is 5 honors.

Kant coveted this.

5 points of honor represent 5 chances to draw, and he will never let it go.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Kant commanded with a solemn face: "Come, go and give orders to Fatis, lead the Swadia heavy cavalry to patrol the perimeter of the oasis, and strive for more captured gnolls to come back." ”

"Yes."

The door was standing guard, and the Svadian infantry, who acted as a guard, immediately replied.

Since they are guards, they are also heralds.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door and heading outside, Kant's order was conveyed and implemented.

Just behind the sand dunes not far from the sentry oasis, there were a large number of gnolls lurking, although some of them had been expelled and chased before, but there were still remnants that slipped through the net, and these were the targets that Kant had arranged to capture.

Although the Swadian heavy cavalry fought deep into the desert, it was not as effective as the Salander riders.

But at close range, these land tanks are still very effective.

What's more, with the leadership of Fatis, it will definitely not take too long to complete the task, maybe at dinner tonight, they will be able to capture a large number of gnolls, as long as they trample a lot of stubborn gnolls with their hooves, other gnolls who are already hungry will definitely choose to surrender, this is really simple.

Kant groaned slightly.

On his retina, the current deposit balance is realistic.

[Deposit: 15,614 dinars]

The cost of upgrading the desert bandits and building the aqueduct has all been taken into account.

However, the sale of the gnolls in two batches, plus the previous balance, still caused Kant's savings to skyrocket to nearly 16,000, and basically this month's fortress construction, as well as the expenditure of the troops, have been secured.

"My lord, let's go out for the time being."

Joyce, the leader of the caravan, left the Consulate with his nephew.

The caravan that was being deployed in the grocery store still had important matters to deal with, especially with so many captives, Joyce was not at ease to let his subordinates do it.

"Okay." Kant nodded in agreement.

He and Manid were the only ones left in the Consulate.

Frowning slightly, Kant raised his head and arranged for Manid next to him: "In this case, you arrange for some peasants and peasant women tonight to boil the white salt as soon as possible, and tomorrow morning, you can set off." ”

"Understood." Manid nodded.

"And the station." Kant frowned slightly, and said to Manid: "Take 7 Swadian light infantry and 10 desert bandits to station, if the Solid Stone Pass wants to open a trade route, tell them that our trading post is there, if you continue to go deeper, it will belong to the baron, and it is a private territory that is not open to the public." ”

"Understood." Manid still nodded, these were all plans they had already agreed upon.

Knocking on the table, Kant was still a little uneasy.

Looking up at Manid, he admonished: "Put more charcoal in boiling salt, and absorb those impurities, I don't want my salt to be full of bitterness, except for those serfs who have never eaten salt, but it has become a disgusting joke of the nobles." ”

"Don't worry." Manid solemnly assured: "This will not be the case. ”
