Chapter 402

"Sir, the sausage in Raven town tastes delicious. Its price is three times that of ordinary sausage. Not only paladins but also barbarians like it." Said the knight of Nicolai with a smile.

"Because there is a little crude sugar in the sausage."

"Yes." Nikolai Knight's first way: "Compared with expensive and scarce honey, crude sugar is a cheaper condiment and can supplement physical fitness. Barbarians hunt in the ice and snow for a long time. When food is scarce, they still need to supplement nutrition, so Borui gin and our purple cane wine are welcomed by barbarians. But wine is not easy to carry. If we transport crude sugar to ARITE, it will sell well Price. "

"The problem is that anyone can make ale, and crude sugar is a specialty of the Randall family," Natalia said

"The Dodo royal family expects the price of crude sugar to double. They want to finalize the supply price and trade share of crude sugar and increase the reserve of crude sugar before the price rises."

"That makes sense." Victor smiled and said, "let's have dinner first. I can't wait to taste uncle Nicolai's roast deer."

Nikolai was stunned. He quickly took out the dagger, cut and plate the roasted short tailed deer, and handed them to Sophia, Victor and Natalia respectively.

The roast venison was golden in color, crisp outside and tender inside, and Victor was full of praise. Sophia casually tasted several pieces of deer tenderloin, and then returned to the carriage with a cold face. She was very dissatisfied with her husband's change of topic. Only Natalia happily accompanied Victor to dinner.

Sophia has long been aware of the value of crude sugar. She has always wanted to get the franchise of crude sugar. Now, the dodos finally made an offer with crude sugar, but Victor still didn't make a decision, which made her feel lost and angry.

Hum, all the sweet words along the way are false!

In fact, Victor thought of another possibility.

The nutritional value of crude sugar is higher than snow sugar, and the production cost is lower than snow sugar. Its only deficiency is that the storage cycle is slightly shorter than snow sugar.

Such a good thing with high quality and low price, the dodos secretly tried to buy it at a low price.

Fortunately, Victor took the blood boiling potion from the masked brotherhood, otherwise he was almost fooled by the dodos.

The biggest advantage of blood boiling potion is that soldiers can take three in a day, but the effect decreases. The reason for the decrease of blood boiling effect is that soldiers' physical strength can't keep up, not the problem of the potion itself. If blood boiling potion is taken with crude sugar, its blood boiling effect, duration and times will be surprisingly improved.

Victor had long suspected that the Borui had bought the great lord of the Dodo kingdom with the blood boiling potion. He now confirmed that the Dodo royal family had mastered the formula of the blood boiling potion.

While the Friedrich family used the great lord of Dodo to put pressure on Sophia, they secretly asked Viscount Negus to show kindness to Sophia, or he was using Sophia to blackmail people and horses.

The inside story is worth pondering.

Under the conditions of enfeoffment, the royal family and the grand Lord are interdependent, but they are by no means monolithic. In fact, the king has limited influence on the grand Lord, at least he has no right to interfere in the grand Lord's internal affairs. Monopolizing a certain resource is a common means for the Royal family to maintain an advantage over the Lord. On the contrary, the Lord must try to break the Royal monopoly.

The internal contradiction between the king and the Lord gave Victor an opportunity. He vaguely had an immature idea.

Like eating venison dinner slowly and quickly, Victor took Natalia back to the carriage.

Sophia's graceful figure was outlined in the spider silk curtain of the carriage. Victor called, "Dear Madam, I want to take a bath."

"Wash it yourself! Natalia, I won't allow you to help him!" Sophia said angrily across the curtain.

Victor smiled and said, "then you two help me."

"Think of the beauty!"

"I'm going to give you some advice. It doesn't seem necessary." Victor shook his head with regret.

A slender hand that bullied frost and snow opened the curtain, and Sophia slipped out of the car living room. She looked up and down at Victor, her eyes turned and bit her red lips: "honey, are you really going to help us?"

"I like Sophia most." Victor smiled, hugged the two beauties and squeezed into the bathroom of the carriage.

Washing away the smell of barbecue, Victor leaned against the bear skin soft couch with Sophia and Natalia in cool clothes.

Sophia raised her hand, spread her wet purple hair, stared at Victor with wonderful eyes and said, "my dear husband, what's your idea?"

Victor disturbed the breeze to blow his hair and asked curiously, "how much can the saber toothed tiger business group get for 5 knights and 11 trainee Knights every year?"

"Natalia can transfer funds directly from my vault. She doesn't need an annuity. The Knights of saber toothed tiger business group are 11000 gold sol per person, and the trainee knights are 3000 gold sol per person." Sophia said calmly.

Victor was stunned and the breeze stopped in the car. Natalia pushed him and said angrily, "honey, keep blowing."

The Lord Knights of the York family can get a subsidy of 4000 gold sols every year. The annuity of the guard Knights of Gambis is no more than 8000 gold sols, but they are all Knights promoted naturally, while the Knights of the saber toothed tiger business group rely on potions. Their blood and strength are very different, and their social status is also very different.

Lord Knight's fiefdoms or fiefdoms are very small. The Lords give financial subsidies so that they can maintain a decent and luxurious life of knights and nobles. The other four knights of saber toothed tiger business group belong to two families. A couple's annual salary is more than 20000 gold sol, which is even higher than the annual income of most barons.

Sophia's generosity surprised victor. He shook his head and said, "Nelson's annual salary of 2000 kinsol per year is not as good as one of your trainee Knights... No wonder they don't want to give up the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid only Natalia really wants to stay with me."

"Dear, I like you, whether victor in the past or viscount Randall now. But I will only stay with Sophia. Her will is my will." Natalia said positively.

"Loyalty is a valuable quality." Victor's jaw was full of admiration, and Natalia bowed her head and smiled.

A young and handsome, a mature and beautiful, how awkward... Sylvia has become young, so it's for convenience!

Sophia's mind was in a mess. She allowed her jealousy to ferment. After carefully experiencing it for a moment, she turned her mouth and said: "Your question is really interesting, and my knight is not as unbearable as you think. As the Lord, I also have the obligation to respect, protect and ensure my knight's livelihood. If the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce has a profit of 200000 gold sol every year, I will pay the saber toothed tiger knight the corresponding remuneration according to the total profit, which can reflect my attention to them, and they will return loyalty."

"Do you have any questions?" Sophia looked at Victor discontentedly and sneered, "won't you ask me to abandon my followers?"

"Nothing!" Victor denied it.

"Hum! I think you just despise my knights. I tell you, I'm there and they're there!"

Victor was moved by Sophia's moving style of light anger and thin anger. He was vaguely aware that Sophia's performance was different from the marquis in memory, becoming gentle and vivid and more feminine.

Fatuous monarchs often give power to unrestricted desires, and there are few fatuous lords in this world, because high-level knights are good at controlling their emotions. Their existence obviously makes the power game more difficult. Since the opponent does not make mistakes, he must not make mistakes!

Victor restrained his charming heart and said confidently: "I'm just sure whether your will can represent the real idea of the saber toothed tiger knight."

Sophia thought for a moment, puzzled and said, "shouldn't the vassal obey the Lord's will? Don't I exercise the Lord's obligation?"

A wise teacher is really important... Victor sighed in his heart, shook his head and said with a smile: "the truth is this truth, the fact may be just the opposite... Maybe your subordinates are affecting your will, but you don't notice it. If you use your personal ideas to represent your subordinates' ideas, the result will be very, very bad!"

"You'll think about the mystery later. Now I just want to know whether you are united as before, which is almost your only advantage!"

Sophia's beautiful face rippled with people's smile, like snow lotus, cold and noble.

"Of course, I firmly believe that!"

"I hope so..."

Victor gave her a meaningful look and said, "I've decided to hand over the raw sugar of the Randall family to the double headed lizard chamber of Commerce."

Sophia asked calmly, "why? You should know that Sylvia wants me to join the York family. You let me beg her. There will be no favorable results. How are you going to help me?"

"Can I make Sylvia happy for that reason?" Victor raised his eyebrows. Seeing Sophia's composure, he shook his head and sighed, "aren't you jealous? It seems that you really don't care about me."

"Why should I be jealous?" Sophia's boneless body entangled Victor, took a funny breath in his ear, bit her lips and said: "Dear Victor, so that we can be together every day. What else can I have besides you? Do you know what I will do? I will be a competent Viscount Randall, drive away all your lovers and have some noble heirs with you... My husband, you want to do the same, don't you?"

"I'm very satisfied, except the third..." Victor coughed and said, "let's continue talking about coarse sugar!"

"Viscount Negus wants to increase the trade share of crude sugar by 20 times, which is almost my annual crude sugar output. But do you know how many purple sugarcane I want to harvest? 8000 mu! Do you know how many purple sugarcane forests I have? 570000 Mu!"

Natalia covered her red mouth and her beautiful apricot eyes widened. Sophia said softly to victor, "honey, isn't that good?"

"No! Not at all!" Victor shook his head. "If the Friedrich family knows the truth, they have plenty of excuses to propose a new trade agreement to you... Or break it at any time!"

Sophia remained silent. Victor knew it clearly and continued: "Since crude sugar is so important, why can I take all the benefits alone? In fact, the Earl of tellandon and the Duke of York have 110000 Mu and 20000 mu of purple sugarcane forest respectively. They can make huge profits as long as they harvest 10000 mu, but they don't. why? Because Sylvia doesn't allow them to interfere in my crude sugar sales strategy."

"Sylvia trusts me and I will repay! I will hand over the crude sugar to the joint-stock chamber of Commerce for joint operation, so as to win the support of the York family and the Randall family can gain a firm foothold in the human horse hills."

Natalia looked admiringly and asked tenderly, "honey, can you tell us what your crude sugar sales strategy is?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Ah?"

"Certainly not just to make money!" Victor clenched his fist and said with a smile, "to our extent, the simple pursuit of money is particularly shallow. Crude sugar is like a crowbar. It can change many things in my hand!"

"For example, it can help me break the game." Sophia's eyes lit up and said.

Victor stared at the beautiful Amethyst eyes and asked with a smile, "do you really believe the sincerity of King dodo?"

"Before the barbarians crossed the river, no one dared to cut off the trade route of the Marquis of Wimbledon! The great lord of Dodo would not be so stupid, but the situation has changed. The kingdom of Dodo has changed from a place of war to a trade channel connecting the north and the south. The dodo people need a lot of materials to rebuild the Northern Territory. If I were the king of Dodo, how could I allow the Borui caravan to dominate? It's too late Source, transit tax collection is a wise choice! "

"The question is, why do the dodos support you?"

"Because you show your weakness, you are particularly bullied. You know that King dodo is insincere, but you still have to negotiate!"

Victor said lazily, "honey, tell me the truth."

Sophia was silent, shook her head and said with a smile, "Victor, you really surprised me. It can't hide from you... Well, if I don't take measures, the bucks business group will collapse soon."

Victor nodded and said, "it doesn't matter whether he can solve the problem. It's important to have a move to solve the problem. This move is for the bucks business group." He asked again, "to what extent is the stag business group now?"

Natalia looked at Sophia and sighed, "people are distracted. Many of the caravan's men have taken refuge in the Nanfeng caravan, and many of them are the confidants of the Bucks caravan. It goes without saying what they want to do."

"You led a mob. You caused all this. If you hadn't separated your confidant knights from the stag business group and formed the saber toothed tiger business group, there wouldn't be such an embarrassing situation!" Victor sharply criticized.

Sophia shook her head and said, "I don't regret my original decision. There is too much sand in the bucks business group to be removed. The saber toothed tiger could have absorbed the backbone of the bucks business group and replaced it. No one expected things to change so quickly!"

set up a separate kitchen? Absorb the backbone? It's the same idea as me... Victor muttered in his heart, looked up and said: "Then you should understand that the shining Knight Order ordered the Borui people to target you, and other forces just pushed the boat with the current. Even if you pay a huge price to buy Lord dodo, when the shining Knight order reaches an alliance with harlottes, the Sassanian empire will cut off your trade to weaken your influence on the barbarians."

"Honey, you dragged down the chamber of Commerce."

Victor rubbed Sophia's delicate cheeks and said sympathetically, "Gambis will have a new business aristocrat to replace you. Sylvia and I set up a double headed lizard joint-stock chamber of Commerce to deal with this change."

Sophia took Victor's hand and said faintly, "my dilemma seems to have no solution... But I am not willing to kneel down and surrender like this... This is tantamount to negating all my efforts."

"It's not like Sophia I know." Victor shook his head and said with a smile, "what's your breaking plan?"

"Convince you, you convince Sylvia and help me with my ideas."

Victor was stunned for a long time and murmured, "it's so simple?"

"Yes." Sophia tooted her mouth and said discontentedly, "laugh if you want. I'm a purple eyed susgui woman. Who does a man rely on if I don't rely on myself?"

This reason is strong.

Victor exclaimed, "simple and effective, extremely wise!"

Sophia and Natalia smiled wildly. She looked up and asked, "are you praising yourself? My little man has figured out a way?"

"Not yet." Victor touched his nose and added: "I have a general idea... The more difficult it is, the more I can't give in... I need the intelligence information of the powerful Lord dodo, including their relationship with each other and the current detailed situation of the bucks business group. You can sort it out and give it to me."

"What do you want?" Sophia stared at Victor with interest, trying to find a clue from his face.

"Thinking about how to convince Sylvia." Victor got rid of Sophia and Natalia, struggled to get up and said, "you make me unable to concentrate. I'll get out of the carriage and think about it." With that, he left the carriage and took Renault and shack into the quiet and dark woods.

Natalia put down the curtain of the car and said with a complicated look: "my heart is sour at the thought of Victor giving us advice for Nicole. He once..." when she saw Sophia's eyes turned sideways, she smiled and said, "Dear Sophia, you don't want to leave me."

"No, I mean... I have your feelings, too. Sylvia is right. It's wonderful..." Sophia closed her eyes and immersed herself in an inexplicable emotion. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said with a smile, "dear sister, don't worry. The initiative is in our hands."

"Because I am the Marquis of Wimbledon and the Viscount Randall."

In the woods, with the help of the dim moonlight, Victor quickly wrote two letters in Chinese, one of which was the formula of recovery medicine.

"Use the alchemical crow to pass these two letters to Kane, the leader of the elite guard who follows Barol, and let him act according to the contents of the letter."

"Yes." Renault took the letter, turned and left.

Victor grabbed him and complained, "aren't you curious about my plan?"

"Oh." Raynorton paused, imitated Nelson, came up and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what's your plan?"

"Plant, slap, wash... Forget it, forget it, you go."

Victor waved back Renault with interest and sighed:

"Smart people are really lonely."
