The mineral resources of the Wren Empire are not barren, on the contrary, they are relatively rich, although they are not as rich as the Grace Kingdom, which is the richest in mineral resources, but it is almost comparable to the Solant Kingdom and the Illus Empire, and even far exceeds these two countries in terms of total iron ore reserves, and it is far behind those small principalities. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, due to the relatively backward metallurgical technology in the Rennes Empire, the utilization rate of mineral resources is very low, and although the mining efficiency is very low, a lot of mineral resources have been hoarded over time.

They can obviously obtain development resources and wealth by exporting ores like the Grace Kingdom, but because magic metals are valuable strategic resources, the ministers have not agreed to export these resources, so the Wren Empire has been hoarding mineral resources but not exporting.

Sitting empty, Baoshan stared.

Testro stood up: "It turns out that your ultimate purpose is for our magic metal mine!" ”

Fiona spread her hands: "Otherwise, is there anything else in the Wren Empire that can be used as collateral for property?" Well? ”

Oh, if you can guess, will there be so many circles?

Magical Metal Mine?

That kind of thing is important, but it is really not very valuable to Ellington, who has already developed universal alloys.

Of course, it's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't.

Termero sat down dejectedly: "No, no ......"

Fiona deliberately provoked him: "Speaking of which, you second-class women are very beautiful, and if you are willing to do slave business, it is not impossible-"

"Shut up!"

Testro stared: "I will never let my people be slaves!" ”

"This can't do that, I don't want to, do you want our Datang Chamber of Commerce to do charity?"

Terro was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "...... Let's change the conditions. ”

What does magical metal mean to Brandal?

Means equipment superiority in war!

That's the future!

The significance of magic metal is too great, it is related to the future strategic position of a country, it is absolutely impossible to transfer it so easily, it is not a transaction, it is a betrayal of the enemy.

It was strange that Testro could say yes.

It's just that Testero still underestimated Donn's routine.

Because their purpose wasn't a magical metal mine in the first place......

"Unwilling to pledge the Magic Metal Mine?"

Fiona frowned: "With all due respect, Your Majesty Testero, as far as we know, there should be a lot of reserves of magic iron and pure gold in the territory of the Wren Empire, and the only real value in your hands is probably these magic metal mines." ”

"Impossible! I'm not going to agree, you don't have to fight the idea of a magical metal mine anymore! ”

Testro shook his head, it was impossible to transfer the magic metal mines, those mines were the lifeblood of the Wren Empire.

"So what can you do with a mortgage replacement?"

“…… Five...... No! Ten years of tax holidays! ”

Termero relented and said, "Ten years of tax exemption!" This is almost unimaginable preferential policy! ”

"You ask yourself, in ten years, how much can the business scale of the Rennes Empire develop, and how much money can our Datang Chamber of Commerce make here."

Fiona said very calmly: "Frankly tell you, even if you give us a twenty-year tax holiday, considering the development of the economy, we can only agree to replace the debt of a billion gold coins at most. ”

"Then forty—"

In the middle of speaking, Testro suddenly closed his mouth.

A forty-year tax holiday, such a clause is impossible to agree to even now, this kind of preferential treatment is too exaggerated.

Property Mortgage ...... What else can be used as collateral?

Mine...... Mine?

Tytro suddenly said, "That's right! In addition to the Magic Metal Mine, we also have the Magic Crystal Mine! I'm willing to use the Magic Crystal Mine as collateral! ”

There are six small magic crystal mines, six medium-sized magic crystal mines, and three magic crystal mines with large reserves in the territory of the Wren Empire - these are all mines that have been proven and even mined for some time.

It's just that the situation of the Wren Empire is worse than that of the Ilrus Empire, and the magic crystals mined by the Irrus Empire can be sold to the Silver City through Ronitant's trade routes, or supplied to those big nobles for consumption, but the Wren Empire is completely unable to do so, and the magic crystals they dig up don't even have a market to digest - so after the discovery of the magic crystal veins and the short mining work, these mines are completely on hold.

After all, the Wren Empire's own demand for magic crystals is basically equal to zero.

The Magic Crystal Mine of the Wren Empire is also one of Donne's targets.

"The magic crystal mine is certainly possible, but you also know that the main market for the magic crystal is basically only the Silver City, with the consumption capacity of the Silver City, just the magic crystal mine produced by our Illus Empire is enough to meet the market demand, if we continue to expand production capacity here, it will only make this already saturated market cheaper."

Fiona began to stare and talk nonsense.

Although the Silver City was indeed a major consumer of mana crystals in the past, Ellington's magic industry has begun to grow, gradually covering the entire Illuth Empire, and the larger the scale, the greater the demand for mana crystals, and this market will only grow - of course, as a demander, she will definitely not disclose the information she has to Testero.

So Testro was completely tricked by Fiona's routine.

"The valuation of our Magic Crystal Mine is worth billions of gold coins—"

"That's just mining value, not market value, and I don't want to talk to you about the difference between mining value and market value."

Fiona interrupted him with a wave of her hand, and said lightly: "It's a good idea to exchange mines for debts, but it's not enough to just use magic crystal mines, if you don't want to use magic metal mines as collateral to replace, use ordinary metal mines, such as iron ore and copper mines." ”

Iron ore and copper ore?

Tystro hesitated for a moment, magic metal is related to the equipment of the country's high-end combat effectiveness, and iron ore is related to the equipment of low-level soldiers, so it is really a bit painful to sell it like this......

"Well, just iron and copper!"

Termero gritted his teeth, not wanting to drag it out any longer, in fact, he had no choice but to hold these cards in his hand, either hold them in his hand and wait for death, or play them out and have a chance to live.

Terro originally wanted to take out the map and take out the iron ore and copper ore that had been explored before for Don to choose, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The mines are all marked on the map of the Rennes Empire, and to display them means that the map of the Rennes Empire and the branches of various cities are all exposed under his nose!

Although he and Don are getting along fairly happily now, and the two sides have no intention of going to war, Testro doesn't know if Done's purpose is a map, or decisively dismisses that idea.

What a cunning and insidious human being! Don't dare to be careless!

Tystro pulled Sharp Tooth and a few orc ministers out to discuss for a while, and when he came back, Terro's face was already very calm.

He said: "Now that the mines that have been explored clearly by the Rennes Empire have owners, so they can't be assigned to you, so let's do it, I can give His Majesty Tang En a certificate of unlimited mining, as long as you have this permission, you can explore minerals in the area outside the military restricted area of the Rennes Empire without restrictions, and after exploration, you can mine them yourself by just notifying you, we only collect 30% of the minerals as taxes, and the remaining 70% all belong to you, how about it?" ”

Proof of Unlimited Mining!?

Tang En was shocked, this guy is going to bleed profusely!

Although there is a tax of 30%, don't underestimate such a proof, which means that the holder only used 30% of the price to buy all the mineral resources of the Rennes Empire! If a mining tycoon gets this proof, I'm afraid he will have a cerebral hemorrhage with excitement!

You must know that in Plandal, the mining industry is generally subject to heavy taxes, and after you have explored the veins, you can only start mining after you have obtained the king's mining permit, but this mining license is generally levied half of the mining volume as a tax.

That is to say, if you dig out ten kilograms of ore, five kilograms will be handed over to the state treasury, but the remaining five kilograms will not be all yours, in addition to the mining tax levied by the king, there will also be a thirty percent tax from the lord, that is, in the end, only two kilograms belong to you.

Looks cruel, doesn't it? But this is the reality of extremely backward productive forces.

Terro gave a 30% tax on unlimited mining certificates, estimated by the resource reserves in the Wren Empire, this certificate is now worth more than a billion gold coins, if it is a few years later, I am afraid it will have to be doubled several times!

Promise him!

Don hinted to Fiona that the conditions were already quite good.

But......

"Your Majesty, the tax of thirty percent is too high."

Fiona secretly waved her hand to Don En and continued: "You are equivalent to doing nothing, just using a piece of paper and a few words, you have obtained 30% of the mineral income for nothing, while we have to run all over the land to find ore and open mines, the cost is extremely high, I think this tax rate should be reduced to 20%. ”

"Twenty percent!? It's too low! ”

Testro shook his head decisively: "This is a certificate of unlimited mining!" His Majesty Tang En's strength is so strong, his life is so long, he has been alive, you keep mining, how many mineral resources will our Rennes Empire lose? The tax on 30% is already very low! And this certificate can only be used by you, and cannot be transferred or sold! ”

Fiona was shocked as she realized that she had misunderstood something......

The "unlimited" in the certificate of unlimited mining in Testero's mouth refers to unlimited mining for life! (To be continued.) )
