"Why don't you come? We are all willing to buy your salt!"
For a moment, the townspeople who looked happy just now looked disappointed. Since they bought salt at a low price once, they naturally hoped to buy it a second time.
In addition, they also discovered that the salt they bought from their lord before was mixed with a lot of sand, but the salt they bought from the Storm Leader convoy was genuine, without even a grain of sand in it.
In total, they used seven copper coins to buy not just one pack of salt, but more than one pack.
Seeing the disappointed expressions of all the townspeople, Thomas smiled and continued, "However, although our convoy is not coming! You can go to the Storm Territory to buy it!"
Go to Stormland to buy?
Not to mention that it takes two days to go there, and it is also a cursed place of misfortune. For a mere three copper coins, no one is willing to make this trip. After all, it is really not worth it.
When the townspeople heard these words, they still didn't show much surprise.
Thomas had already anticipated the reaction of the townspeople and went on to drop a bombshell.
"Our lord has said that as long as you go to the Storm Territory to buy salt, the price of salt will be even lower, only five copper coins per pack!"
"What? Five copper plates a pack?" At this time, the townspeople finally showed their faces in shock. This was already half the price.
"That's right, it's a package of five copper plates, guaranteed not to be mixed with sand! And we in the Storm Territory don't limit the amount of salt we can buy!" Thomas confirmed with a smile.
"In addition, I can also give you a suggestion. If you are capable, you can form a small caravan to go to the Storm Territory to buy goods. In this way, you can buy a large amount of salt at once, and then you can take it back and sell it for seven copper coins!"
After saying that, Thomas stopped stopping and the convoy drove directly out of the town.
The townspeople who stayed behind watched the convoy leave, but their eyes flashed, and they had already listened to Thomas's suggestion.
Although the profit is only two copper coins, it is definitely a good deal. After all, people can never live without salt.
In this world, most transactions are done by nobles, and they had never dared to think about transactions like salt before.
…
"Three thousand three hundred and ninety-seven, three thousand three hundred and ninety-eight, three thousand three hundred and ninety-nine... four thousand! Haha, we earned forty silver coins in this trip!"
Thomas sat on the carriage, holding a big clay pot and putting the yellow and orange copper plates into the wooden treasure box. When the last copper coin was put into the wooden box, Thomas laughed happily.
In Black Rock Town, they sold more than 400 bags of salt and more than 120 kilograms of dried fish. The total cost of the goods sold was less than 3 silver coins, but they earned 40 silver coins in revenue.
You must know that this is only a morning's income. If they can stay for a whole day, it is not a problem to earn a gold coin. After all, there are many newly received Black Rock Territory citizens who are coming in a steady stream.
Thomas couldn't help but sincerely admire his learned and wise lord at this time. Such a profitable business was actually established by the lord in just over half a month.
"Butler Thomas!" At this moment, Captain Quaker spoke up, "Why does the Lord want to sell the salt and dried fish at a reduced price? If we sell it at the original price, wouldn't we make more? Especially the salt, we don't mix it.
Sand, those serfs and common people will definitely not find it too expensive."
Quick was also happy that the team could make money, but the problem was that seeing such good salt being sold so cheaply made him feel sorry for the lord.
"Quick, this is the difference between us and Lord Nalant!" Thomas smiled slightly.
Then he stood in awe and looked in the direction of the storm leader, "Before setting off, I also asked the adults this question, but the adults told me that we will have countless salt and dried fish in the future, but these salt and dried fish can only be sold.
Talent can be turned into money. There are only so many nobles in the principality. If we only sell to them, we will never be able to sell them all and we can only make a small amount of money."
"But if we sell to commoners and serfs, it will be different. The number of serfs and commoners is the largest, tens of thousands of times more than the nobility. Even if one person buys a bag of salt, the pile of copper plates can probably
The whole castle is filled!”
"If the price is too high, the serfs will definitely not be able to afford it, so we have to sell it at a lower price!"
"In addition, the Lord also said that the most important thing is... he wants Baron Quint to kneel and sing Conquer?"
"Kneel down and sing conquer? How should you sing the word conquer?" Quick's eyes widened.
"I don't know how to sing, but I'm sure the adults will teach him when the time comes!" Thomas shook his head and looked back.
Next, Thomas and others walked all the way, staying for half a day every time they passed a noble territory. The sales pattern was exactly the same as in the Black Rock Territory. When leaving, they told the townspeople that they could go to the Storm Territory to buy salt in the future.
There are no restrictions on the entry of civilian caravans.
In this way, all the more than 300 kilograms of sea salt and more than 2,000 kilograms of dried fish brought by the merchants were sold after passing through five noble territories.
A total of four gold coins and twenty silver coins were obtained.
After the goods were sold out, the speed of the convoy suddenly increased. When approaching the territory of the Berwick family, Quick sent a guard to deliver some salt and salted fish to the Berwick territory, and the convoy continued on its way.
Tulip City is only about a day away.
…
While Thomas and others will arrive in Tulip City in the near future, the Storm Territory has also become busy recently.
First of all, the toilets in the town have been built. Nalant asked Vivian to recruit a hundred strong serfs to start the work at the same time.
"What do you think this toilet is for?"
"Such a nice stone house might be used by future civil affairs officials to live in!"
"But there is only one civil affairs officer, but now three toilets have been built!"
"Is it used to sell beer? I saw beer being sold in the stone house there in the Baron of Quint!"
"The place that sells beer is called a pub! And ours is a toilet!"
"No matter what it is, the lord lets us work anyway and gives us a salary of thirty copper coins. We just have to work hard!"
"Yes, Lord Nalant is the most generous, but Lord Nalant just doesn't know how to farm. If we plant the wheat seedlings so densely, I'm afraid a lot of the wheat will have empty husks by then!"
"Hush, do you want to be hanged in the square? How dare you talk about the generous lord like this? Besides, the lord lent us fifty kilograms of meat on credit. The wasted wheat is nothing compared to that!"
"Yes! Let me ask you, could you eat meat every day before?"
