Moreover, the merchants who have come here now are mainly tempted.
The nobles behind them asked them to come, in order to be able to get involved with Kant and establish friendly trade, without exception, they all planned to spend money, and asked for a separate talk for this purpose.
If you are really disqualified from this trade, you will even be disqualified from trading in the future.
It is estimated that when they go back, they will be stripped of their skin by the nobles behind them.
It's the early days.
Reluctantly, it is mainly based on cooperation of interests.
As for understanding Kant's reality and reality, after the unspoken rules of the aristocracy began to devour Kant's industry, there is no need to scruple too much at that time, just don't be too ugly.
But now there is still a need to maintain a certain level of friendliness.
There was also competition among the nobility.
If something really goes wrong, and you see that it's your political enemy, you don't mind yin the other party.
These businessmen are all lower-class errands, and they don't actually have much power, so they all honestly choose to be quails, and they are silent for a while, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Moreover, Kant is no longer what it used to be.
The character of kindness to cowardice at the beginning only conceals the prying eyes of others.
Now return to strength.
He didn't need to continue pretending at all!
Just like a week ago, the two merchants who dared to touch Kant's bottom line and incited many caravans to attack the post station, even if they had the backstage of Viscount Wayne, the lord of the northern county, and the century-old nobles of the southern county, they still killed them.
These businessmen saw it in their eyes, and they were even more afraid in their hearts.
Rolf is also not a good man.
The combination of the two can be very effective in making them shut up.
Returning to the central station, 10 Swadia light infantry immediately opened the door with shields and greeted them respectfully: "Your Excellency, welcome to the station again. ”
"Hmm." Kant nodded, and at the same time commanded, "Unload all the salt from the caravans." ”
"Understood."
The 10 light infantrymen immediately nodded.
Summoned more than 50 desert bandits around him, and immediately began to unload the sack full of white salt.
The appearance of the bulging sacs is like a gray meat worm, but with the unloading and piling up, the merchants not far from the south of the post station gathered, and their eyes widened one by one, looking at those sacks, the expressions in their eyes were extremely shocked, and they couldn't help but swallow and spit, and their eyes were full of greed.
That's a full 400 bags of fine white salt, which is worth 80,000 large silver coins at a converted price!
Don't say it's them small businessmen.
Even the hundred-year-old nobles in the southern county of the Lion Principality had to breathe a little faster when they saw the fine white salt worth so many silver coins, and the profit was almost 100% in terms of transportation costs and procurement costs!
The salt trade is a huge profit!
Otherwise, those century-old nobles would not have united to form a caravan to go to the dwarven kingdom to purchase salt, and then go to great trouble and risk being looted to transport it back.
You know, it's not easy to get to the dwarven kingdom.
Not all of them are human nations along the way.
There are also wastelands and wildernesses, where many evil alien races live.
Similar to the Gnolls, bloody and savage, uncivilized, all uncivilized bloodthirsty and savage races!
As long as the nobles, landlords, and merchants can enjoy this condiment, ordinary commoners can occasionally eat some salt, and ordinary poor people are not qualified to eat salt at all!
In feudal times, the average life expectancy of commoners and poor was less than 35 years.
No one cares if they eat salt or not.
Even if it is salt, some people eat low-quality salt.
It is the astringent and sour rock mineral salt produced in the underground and in some small salt mines in the ravines, with only a little salty taste.
As long as people with a little status will not eat, after all, there is no way to purify and remove impurities, eating too much of this rock mineral salt will cause irreversible loss to the kidneys, and it will really kill people!
Of course, the commoners and the poor who don't have money don't care if they die or not.
Anyway, very few of them will live past the age of 45.
Kant didn't care about this, people are born, old, sick and die, if he cares so much, he can't manage it, as long as he takes care of the civilians in his territory.
After a short break, Kant said: "Let those nobles enter the post station in a while, and I will talk to them personally." ”
"Understood."
Rolf nodded.
Kant brought 10 royal knights with him, plus 3 royal knights who stayed at the inn in advance, and the garrison was absolutely tight, not to mention that there were his Salander riders and desert robbers in the outside world, so it was absolutely no problem to prevent these merchants from making trouble.
It is estimated that the hundreds of merchants and caravan guards, even if they are combined, are no match for these 13 royal knights.
After all, this is a royal knight at the pinnacle level of a great knight!
With Kant's command.
The whole post house was cleaned up.
After breakfast, the cavalry put away their tents, extinguished the bonfire, and rode their horses around slowly, so that their horses gradually warmed up and returned to the peak state of being able to charge during the day.
The spear in his hand was clenched, the scimitar was at his waist, and they were all in good spirits.
Those aristocrats were meticulously observant.
One by one, they were thoughtful.
Kant's background and Sophia, the princess of the Silver Plate Kingdom, is not a secret news, although it is blocked, but people talk about it quietly, which adds to the exaggeration of this story and makes it more eye-catching.
At least the friction between the Silver Plate Kingdom and the Lion Principality has always existed.
Waited for a moment.
Rolf walked out, his face full of flesh with a bit of hideousness: "Be quiet, now every caravan has a representative, enter this post station to discuss the matter of the deal with Baron Kant, no weapons and escorts, and at the same time there must be no rude behavior, if we find out." Rolf paused, but his tone was even more stern: "Then I will put you to sleep forever in an unknown bunker in the desert!" ”
The businessmen nodded in response, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that their tone would collide with this villain nobleman who had no bottom line, and the gains would outweigh the losses at that time.
Even the new caravans were informed in advance and honestly followed the rules.
Although there are also many high-status businessmen in it.
However, looking at the scimitars and spears that flashed with cold light, the desert bandits and Salander riders who were eyeing each other, they understood in their hearts that if they wanted to make a fortune here, they had to be respectful first.
The inn was opened, and the group of merchants entered the hall.
On the main seat of the long table, Kant was seated, flanked by four royal knights dressed in full-covered plate armor.
Covered in silver and shining, it is more dazzling than ordinary knights in chain mail.
The strength is naturally stronger!
