MTL - Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 116: Intervening in western trade and building new trade routes

After learning that there was a large iron mine in the entire territory and a source of Nau, Thor had some thoughts in his heart.

Compared with the east and north, the west is undoubtedly more prosperous, with more noble lords and pioneer lords. The construction of trade routes can only be truly completed if it can be involved in the west, and can it bring greater success. income.

 It's just that he didn't have any good opportunities before.

  He is not a lord of the west.

 Hurry insertion can easily lead to various problems.

He had to give up this idea.

 But when Tuono appeared, everything changed.

Compared to him, Tuono is a veteran pioneering lord in the west. Using Tuono as an opportunity to insert himself into the trade routes of the entire west will undoubtedly be much smoother.

 It won’t be a big problem.

As long as we can get involved in the western trade, the benefits of the entire trade route will undoubtedly be extremely huge.

 Disregarding other things, the income from black iron armor and brass armor alone can reach a terrifying value.

　　Not to mention the silver armor and the low-level life potion that is very likely to be successfully configured in the future.

And not only the income, using Tuono as an opportunity to intervene is also enough to help the further development of his brother's territory.

Although they only had a short period of contact, Thor already felt that the development of his brother's territory had actually reached a certain bottleneck.

It is different from the east. In the entire Maine Valley in the east, there are only about twenty pioneering lords and noble lords, but there are hundreds of pioneering lords around the entire Danube River. This is just around the Danube River, other places More pioneer lords.

 In this case, those who want to develop will undoubtedly fall into great passivity.

If the sheep-headed men had not destroyed this tribe this time, Tonodu might not have had the chance to develop.

 The construction of trade routes can also somewhat solve Tuono's problems.

Of course he thinks so, but it still depends on what Tono and Babrus think.

If these two people have no idea, Thor will not force it.

 At present, there is no urgent thought on whether to insert it into the west.

 After all, he has not yet fully digested the territory of a large number of pioneer lords in the entire Maine River Valley.

 The road can be walked slowly, and the future can also be planned slowly. There is no need to rush.

After finishing speaking, Thor looked at the two of them, waiting for their answers.

 Thono, and Babrus couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

 These two are not fools.

 It is natural to understand the meaning of Thor's words.

 It's just that this is not something that is easy to handle.

 Trading, this is not simple trafficking.

In the entire west, the only ones who really control the trade routes are the top noble lords. If you step in rashly, there is bound to be some conflict with a few top nobles.

 Once you don't get it right, there will be big problems.

But Thor's words couldn't help but make them a little tempted.

Once the trade route is built, relying on silver armor and various weapons and equipment, their income may be expanded tenfold or more.

 Ten times, that’s ten times the benefit.

Not only can they further increase the number of territorial knights, but they will also have a greater chance of breaking through the land knights in the future.

 “Hoo!”

After a long time, Tuono and Barbrus looked at each other, and Tuono took a long breath.

“Thor, you may not know that the trade routes in the west are mainly in the hands of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce and the two noble lords Spencer and Campbell.”

"They will also produce some silver armor. If we enter rashly, I'm afraid!"

He spoke slowly, and Tono's expression was solemn.

 “I know, but what I need is not to compete with them.”

"As far as I know, those two noble lords established trade routes based on the auction model of Loren City. They regularly hold auctions in their territories to attract the pioneering lords of the west. We don't need this. "

Thor shook his head, and then slowly told his plans and thoughts.

As for the method, it is naturally the model of trade road construction carried out by Lachos in the east.

 Compared to the auction model, this type of wandering merchant is more suitable for developing lords.

 After all, no one can guarantee whether they will encounter a crisis after leaving the territory, nor can they be sure whether the territory will be attacked after leaving.

  Not every lord is willing to leave.

  In contrast, although bringing goods to the territory will increase risks, as long as you have sufficient strength, you can avoid risks and raise the price.

Especially the west is much richer than the east.

 It can be expected that the gold coins that can be obtained will only be more.

 Hearing his words, both Tono and Babrus' eyes couldn't help but light up.

 “My brother, you are a genius!”

 “This is indeed possible!”

Tuno sounded excited, his eyes shining.

“Indeed, Lord Thor, you are indeed a genius!”

Babrus couldn’t help but speak with the same emotion.

  Don’t look at the slight changes.

 But the two of them knew how big a change this change would bring.

 The benefits contained therein will be as great as they are.

 As long as there are enough pioneer lords spreading, it can be expected that the next harvest will be endless.

 The west is rich in products, which also means that various pioneering lords have a lot of resources.

Even if some of these resources are gathered in Loren City, a lot of them still remain in various major territories. Being able to build good trade routes means that there are opportunities to utilize these resources.

Especially if you have silver armor as the key to knocking on the door, the situation will be smoother.

 It won’t even be a big problem.

“Brother, Sir Babrus, we can form a chamber of commerce, with three parties investing in it and dispatching knights to **** it. How about sharing it equally among our three families?”

Looking at the excited three people, Thor couldn't help but have a hint of joy on his face, and he spoke immediately.

 “Sir Thor, you are serious!”

"This is the plan you came up with. It's too much to share equally. Just give me 5%. I'm willing to send out one grand knight, two formal knights, and ten apprentice knights." Babrus heard Thor's words After speaking, he pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head and spoke seriously.

"Yes, brother, this is your plan. You can't suffer a loss. I can give you 5%. Without you, I can only sell ore, and I may not be able to win this territory!"

"As for the caravan strength, I will also send out one great knight, ten formal knights, and thirty apprentice knights."

Tuno also smiled and spoke.

 The two of them are not in a position to take advantage.

　　The previous result had already made them very embarrassed, so it was naturally impossible for them to split the score shamelessly at this moment.

 In the end, it was Thor’s insistence.

The two men agreed that one should take 12 percent and the other 15 percent, while Thor would take 65 percent and Lajos Assad eight percent.

Thor will naturally not forget the location where his one helped him build the new trade route.

  After all, we still need to rely on this person to open up the trade route to the west.

 While Lajos Assad held eight percent, Tono, and Barbrus did not object after Thor stated the situation.

The only problem is that Tono looked a little strange when he heard Lajos' last name.

 Of course it’s just some differences.

This territory was not obtained from the descendants of the Assad family, but from the sheep-headed people. Even if Assad's contemporary count came, he would have nothing to say.

And since Thor asked this person to run the trade route, there must be no problem.

 In fact, this is indeed the case.

 Although they are both descendants of the Assad family, Lajos does not have a good impression of his brothers and sisters.

 Naturally, I won’t care about this.

When he learned that Thor was planning to establish a chamber of commerce and set foot in the entire west, he couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.

 Even though the proportion has been diluted a lot, there is still only excitement.

Lajos has been in the Northland Province for a long time, and he naturally knows that the prosperity of the west is not comparable to that of the east and the north.

Even if it is diluted, the 80% return is far greater than before.

More importantly, over this period of time, his contact with Thor allowed him to see an infinite future.

 Even if there is nothing, he is willing to follow.

  Not to mention the 8% share.

 So on the third day after arriving, Lajos Assad began to take action.

Thor, Tono, and Babulus began to discuss other distribution matters for the entire territory.

They had previously promised that all of Nau's output in the past three years would go to Thor. Even though the output from one location had become two, neither of them had any intention of changing it. They still decided to give all Nau's output in the past three years to Thor.

 As for large iron ore and copper mines, Thor arranged for people to mine them.

The income is divided, Thor takes 40%, 30% is the distributed income, the other 10% is Thor's reward for mining goblins, Tono takes 20%, and transfers 10% to Babrus as his abandonment In the next three years, the income from the output of the two cities will be 10%, plus Tuono 10%, and Babrus will also occupy 40%.

 The materials obtained from other territories are equally divided among the three.

 These are not included in the division of the Chamber of Commerce and belong to the proceeds of this war.

  The three of them are extremely satisfied with this division.

 Even Tono and Babrus were a little embarrassed and felt that they had taken advantage of them.

After all, Thor and the knights brought by Thor played a decisive role in being able to win this territory at a small price this time.

Without Thor, even if they could win this time, the losses would be extremely huge.

However, Thor made a strong request, so they had no choice but to accept it.

As for Thor, he doesn’t care about these small interests. He cares more about the construction of the western trade route.

 Once completed, this is a truly huge amount of revenue.

At this moment, this allocation can not only increase the favorability, but also let his brother and Bablus understand that following him is enough to get enough gold coins.

 As long as they can recognize it from the bottom of their hearts.

 Next, many things will be much easier to handle.

 In fact, this is indeed the case.

 After division.

  Next, whether it is the preparation of trade routes or new planning, everything will be extremely smooth.

 Thono, and Barbrus almost completely obeyed Thor's arrangements.

 Under Thor's arrangement, everything was quickly implemented.

 Even just on the fifth day.

A caravan led by Lajos Assad set off first.

Naturally, the newly occupied large-scale iron ore and copper mines have not yet been mined, and the mining goblins have not been brought over yet, but the Eagle Territory already has a lot of armors, weapons, and silver armors. Lajos Asa Germany brought a lot this time.

  It can be used as the cornerstone of opening trade routes in the early stage.

Of course, since the Western Lords are more powerful, Lajos Assad is equipped with stronger forces this time.

 A total of three grand knights, twenty formal knights, forty trainee knights, and more than three hundred reserve knights were dispatched. The distribution was arranged by Thor, Tono and Bablus.

Thor even got Wren involved in this.

On the one hand, Renn's strength is strong enough, surpassing that of ordinary knights. On the other hand, Renn can also gain some experience through the construction of trade routes.

  Such a force, even in the western territories, exceeds the vast majority of pioneering lords, even more than 99% of the lords.

 The west does have a lot of powerful lords.

 But Thor's previous lords of the Northland Province, whose strength exceeded 90%, were also no joke.

 But a fact.

 Only in the west, there are many powerful lords, so there is an illusion that powerful lords are everywhere.

In fact, even in the west, the proportion of pioneer lords with great knights is not large, let alone three great knights, including one great knight who is enough to kill a second-level peak orc. exists.

 In addition, there is no need to find a powerful lord for the initial trade road construction, so naturally there is no need to worry too much.

Facing ordinary lords, such strength can almost push them aside.

This is not a question of whether the caravan needs to consider the safety, but whether the lord facing this force should consider the safety.

 In this case, everything went very smoothly.
