Chapter 145 Lajos' choice
Chapter 145 Lajos’ choice
Chance.
This is really an opportunity.
The essence of the entire Northland province lies in the west. However, in the west, due to twenty years of development, most of the important resource points have been occupied by powerful nobles.
Other nobles and pioneering lords have already been greatly restricted if they want to develop.
Even the Dressrosa family does not have a big voice in the entire west. It can only be said that it is relatively good.
This situation is actually very difficult to change.
After all, under the siphon effect, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.
The pioneering lords and powerful nobles who occupy more resources will become more powerful, further squeezing the living space of other noble lords.
Until the entire Northland province is completely developed and a large number of brand new earl families, viscount families, and baron families are born, and the system gradually stabilizes due to conflicts with each other, everything can come to an end.
Similar to other pioneering territories in the past.
According to Tono's knowledge, there are currently more than twenty-seven lords who have actually begun to evacuate, most of whom are powerful lords in the west.
“Send someone to inform Lachos and ask him to return immediately.”
Seven days later.
Those powerful noble lords are about to evacuate, and there are some things that he seems to be able to intercept.
The reason why the income has dropped is because these powerful noble lords are dumping various items.
The expansion a few months ago has already made him extremely fruitful.
With the arrival of "God's Enlightenment", a large number of powerful nobles obtained the information and began to choose to evacuate. However, people cannot evacuate their territories. These territories are undoubtedly a huge benefit. Once they can obtain them, they can also survive this time. The rewards of the "divine revelation" crisis will be unimaginable.
"yes!"
The news from Tono arrived first.
And the level has indeed been evacuated.
Tuno didn’t even eat dinner and left in a hurry.
In the territory.
But once time passes.
In the study.
Ryan nodded quickly.
“Raine!”
For example, a slave.
After all, there are some things that the lord here cannot take away.
So after the conversation.
Thor's eyes were fixed on the letter.
Watching Tono leave, Thor immediately opened his mouth and gave instructions to Ren next to him.
Especially for Tono.
Once they are aware of it, these lords will inevitably take action. If it is later, the losses will be considerable.
Similarly, Thor is also eager to know more news.
And this is only what is known so far, there will only be more than twenty-seven lords who are actually taking action.
The situation was just as he imagined.
Thor didn’t stop him either.
It wasn’t until half an hour later that Thor slowly put down the letter given by Tono.
Soon, a knight quickly headed west.
“Hoo!”
While waiting for news.
Return towards the territory.
At present, not many people have discovered the problem.
Time passes slowly.
Every moment at this moment is the most important.
Thor was taking care of things on the side.
Most of those that can be discovered are pioneer lords who are already aware of the situation. Naturally, it will have no impact if these people have to evacuate themselves.
But at this moment, due to the arrival of "divine revelation", there is undoubtedly a different beginning.
At this moment he seemed to see an opportunity again.
After exhaling a breath, Thor couldn't help but have a smile on his expression.
Other pioneer lords are not fools and can naturally detect it.
As a result, the prices of various commodities throughout the West have fallen rapidly.
The price of the silver armor even went back to 300 gold coins.
The price of nau has fallen to the bottom.
In the past, the price of one nau cost about one gold coin, or even a little more, but now the price of one nau is less than fifty silver coins, and it is still falling.
It can be expected that prices will fall further as more powerful noble lords dump.
This is just material.
Slaves fell even more seriously.
On the surface, the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce in Loren City strictly controls the slave trade, but in such a large Northland province, it is naturally impossible to completely ban the slave trade. As long as they are not slaves from the outside world, the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce doesn't really care. .
So there has always been a slave trade in the entire west, but it is not large, and the price is not much different from Loren City.
But at this moment, the price of slaves also dropped sharply. According to Tuono's understanding, the price of slaves was already less than five silver coins.
Tuno even asked him if he also needed to buy a group of slaves.
“Hoo!”
After exhaling a thick breath, Thor couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
The situation was better than he imagined.
Based on the current situation, his gain may not only be to solve the problem of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, but also to make a real fortune by taking advantage of this "divine revelation" opportunity.
His right hand tapped lightly on the desk.
In front, the knight was waiting respectfully.
After a moment, Thor spoke.
"Go back and tell your brother that there is no need to worry about the slaves for the time being. If you wait a little longer, you can have someone go and tell you about the major nau production areas and some large iron mines around it."
“Forget it, I’d better write a letter!”
He spoke and gave instructions to the knight in front of him. But as he spoke, Thor shook his head, picked up the quill and began to write.
The knight did not dare to disturb him and waited respectfully.
A moment later, Thor finished writing the letter, sealed it, and handed it to the knight.
The knight responded respectfully, and quickly retreated.
Watching the knight leave, Thor's eyes couldn't help but twinkle.
In my mind, there are thoughts flashing constantly.
This opportunity was something he did not expect.
Even if it was just a few words from Tuono, he could feel the endless opportunities in it.
Once he can grasp it, his territory can really soar into the sky.
While thinking.
“Dong dong!”
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Thor's thoughts went back and forth, and he looked towards the door.
“Crunch!”
The door of the room made a light sound.
The maid Karin came in.
“Sir, Lord Lajos has returned and asks to see you!”
Karin spoke respectfully.
“Okay, let him come over!”
Thor nodded.
Karin then retreated.
A moment later, Thor saw the dusty Lajos.
Compared to a few months ago, Lajos is undoubtedly a lot darker at this moment, and his whole person is also a little more haggard.
“Sir, are you looking for me?”
Lajos spoke respectfully. At this moment, his name for Thor had already changed.
“How is the situation?”
"It is said that the development of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has been affected." Thor spoke with an inquiry.
"It is true that there was some impact before. Those noble lords opened the pass, making it difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to spread. However, most of the nobles have canceled it half a month ago."
“However, I don’t know what happened now. Prices of a large number of commodities in the western region are plummeting, and the Chamber of Commerce has inevitably been affected.”
Lajos nodded, then shook his head and spoke with a wry smile.
During this period of time, he was indeed a little exhausted, and the constant running around made him feel a little overwhelmed.
But more importantly, the situation has not improved.
The noble lords originally canceled the pass. Although he was confused, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that it was over.
Who would have thought that all kinds of supplies would plummet immediately afterwards.
And it can be expected that the impact will be greater in the coming time.
This made him extremely uncomfortable.
“You don’t know yet?”
Listening to Lajos's words and looking at the other person's expression, Thor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and spoke with doubts.
“Sir, what did you say?”
Lajos spoke blankly.
“Nothing, your family hasn’t sent you any news yet?”
Thor spoke curiously.
"what news?"
Lajos was even more confused.
“The Divine Apocalypse is likely to break out in the Northland Province. These powerful noble lords are eager to flee and are dumping their supplies in preparation to reduce losses.”
Thor chuckled and spoke.
The words were very calm.
Just what he said made Lajos's body tremble and his pupils couldn't help but widen.
“Sir, sir, what did you say?”
Lajos stuttered a bit when he spoke.
“On the day of divine revelation, my father translated the Titanic script and discovered it. Some top nobles also discovered it, but the Assad family did not notice it.”
Thor nodded and explained, looking a little surprised.
Of course, he didn't know it at the moment. Although there were many people who knew about this news, not many people were aware of it. Only the top nobles were really aware of it, and they were also top families with a lot of power in the Northland Province.
Although the Assad family is extremely prominent among the count families, in the Northland Province, the Assad family does not have much power, so naturally they do not understand this matter.
"This this!"
Hearing Thor's confirmation, Lajos suddenly became a little panicked.
Hair turned pale instantly.
“Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any problems this time. The kingdom has already discovered it, so it won’t be serious.”
"Of course, if you are worried, you can also choose to evacuate. I will take back the shares you occupy for five thousand gold coins."
Thor looked at the pale Lajos and couldn't help but comforted him. Then he seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence.
Lajos has indeed helped him a lot during this period, so he will naturally not force him to stay.
Thor can still remember the kindness.
“My lord, it’s me!”
Lajos subconsciously wanted to speak.
But Thor waved his hand to stop him.
“You can think about it carefully, I won’t force you to do this.”
“Just give me the answer within three days.”
Thor shook his head and spoke softly.
Lajos was a little flustered, and he didn't even know how to leave the study.
Watching Lajos leave.
Thor didn’t say anything.
This is also human nature.
This is not a matter of crisis. Once the "divine revelation" breaks out, it is almost synonymous with destruction, and panic is the inevitable result.
There will be ghosts only if you don’t panic.
He can understand this too.
Even if Lajos chooses to leave, he will accept it and actually give him five thousand gold coins.
Thor can still distinguish some things clearly.
Night is gradually falling.
Lajos, who was returned to the room, was extremely flustered, with thoughts intertwined.
Fear.
Worry.
Confused.
There were even several moments when he thought about leaving.
Five thousand gold coins, coupled with his current status in the family, he will undoubtedly be able to do many things that were unimaginable before.
Divine revelation, that is divine revelation.
Once it breaks out, it will really be a dead end.
Thor wants to stay, why should he stay and die together?
“Otherwise, please advise me!”
Lajos’s thoughts came to him again.
I don’t know how long it took, and I don’t know how long it lasted.
Until his mind, the scenes of Loren City that day appeared in his mind, and the scenes in the territory appeared.
The picture of his family's continuous improvement in status appears.
I don’t know why, Lajos’s panicked heart gradually calmed down.
Other thoughts eventually receded.
I also made up my mind completely.
Without Thor, there would be no such thing as him.
Even if there are enough risks, Thor is willing to stay, so naturally he cannot leave.
The figure turned over, got up, and came to the desk.
Picked up the quill and paper.
Started to write.
Since I have decided to stay.
His strong business talent allowed him to instantly think of countless opportunities in this situation.
Time passes slowly.
The night passed as promised.
The morning of the second day came.
Lajos knocked on Thor's door again.
“Dong dong!”
There was a gentle knock on the door. Lajos, who had not slept all night, did not show any fatigue on his face at this moment. Instead, he looked excited.
In his hand is the result of last night.
“Please come in!”
A gentle voice sounded.
Lajos then opened the door and walked in.
“Lajos?”
Looking at the person coming, Thor was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised.
"grown ups!"
Lajos spoke respectfully.
“You don’t have to be in such a hurry, you can think about it for another two days.”
Thor looked at Lajos and was silent for a moment before speaking seriously.
“Sir, time is extremely precious now. This is our opportunity. If we can seize it, both the Eagle Territory and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will develop rapidly.”
“Three days is too long!”
“Besides, no sir, I’m afraid Lajos has been expelled from the Assad family by now, and I will not leave.”
Lajos shook his head, and then spoke seriously.
