Chapter 164: Young Master Qingyue (1)
"War Horse?" Cons was stunned for a moment.
Bikud and Celtic both shook their heads at the same time. Bikud smiled bitterly and said, "Fel, I told you at the beginning that our Ultraman Empire is short of war horses. The war horse supplies are war horses in the war preparation supplies. Unless they are great nobles, it is impossible to smuggle war horses."
Cons blinked, he was a little curious. Is the war horse really as important as what Bikud said? Why did he buy hundreds of war horses in the imperial capital? Celtic just now agreed to give himself a hundred war horses.
Perhaps seeing Cons' expression, Celtic came forward and whispered: "As long as you are in China, you can trade war horses, but as long as you go abroad, especially selling military horses, it is definitely a death sentence."
"Why? You can't even get the number of ten horses per month in the past, right?" Fair said very dissatisfied.
This not only made Bikud uncomfortable, but also made Celtic extremely embarrassed. He said in a fury: "No, it's not. Anyway, we're re-signing the contract now and the previous contract is invalidated, so we are not considered a breach of contract."
Fair glanced at Celtic and Bikud, and then said to Cons, who was still smiling on his face, "I wonder how Lord Cons decided?"
Cons was stunned for a moment. This guy is too good at being a human being, right? He was so bold and sowed the disagreement. Two of the three partners disagreed and even came to ask the remaining one for their opinions. Wouldn't he want to trouble himself?
Cons wanted to shake his head, but Bikud, who was originally very uncomfortable, suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you can convince me, Brother Cons, it's not difficult to sell horses to you."
Celtic was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth to say something, but he was stopped by Bikud.
Cons noticed this and frowned slightly. When Fair heard Bikud's words, he immediately said to Cons with a smile: "Sir Cons, we are willing to buy a war horse for a price of one hundred gold coins."
Hearing this, everyone laughed, and Oaked reminded: "Mr. Fair, the horse price in the Ultraman Empire is no less than this."
Fair wanted to slap himself a few times, but forgot about the difference between the two places for a moment, and even told him the price directly, hoping that they did not notice this.
Fair immediately said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm really reckless. The price of this army horse is up to the lord."
Bikud nodded and smiled, "That's right, such an important transaction still requires your master to make a decision."
Cons frowned and waved his hand and said, "Everyone, it seems that I did not agree to use the war horse for a transaction. Moreover, this violates the law of the empire, and I will not commit it."
Bikud smiled at Cons and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't spread to the sensation, all the people of the empire know it, then there will be no problem at all."
When Ferr heard this, he looked at Bikud with dissatisfaction, and then said to Cons with joy: "My Lord Cons, I dare to use my life to guarantee it. My lord will definitely trade with you for the price of no less than a thousand gold coins per war horse."
Cons didn't understand why Bikud suddenly changed his words. He didn't say it was against the law, and it was impossible for him to sell it himself.
Although he has thousands of war horses now, due to the increase in the number of militias, he cannot even guarantee one person and two horses. It is impossible to treat war horses as trading goods. However, when he was about to formally refuse, Okde came forward and whispered: "Sir, the provincial governor is trying to catch your handle. If there is no handle, he may not be assured of the future cooperation."
Hearing this, Cons suddenly realized. No wonder Bi Kud suddenly changed his words, and no wonder Kester, the division commander who originally wanted to open his mouth, doesn't say anything now. He really hopes that he has a handle in their hands.
After all, only one of the parties in the alliance is caught by the other party, so this party may feel uncomfortable sleeping.
Once both parties have the other party’s handle, I believe it will be more at ease to cooperate.
Thinking of this, Cons hesitated for a moment and asked Oaked in a low voice: "How many free war horses do we have now?"
Okde thought for a while and said, "If we use the sprinters called Dragoons as infantry, we can have more than a thousand free war horses. If we maintain their organization, then there will be only two hundred free war horses."
Oaked is a civilian guard who helps Oak manage the logistics, so it is not surprising to know these situations.
Cons, who had a decision in his heart, said to Fair, who looked forward to looking at him, "It's not that war horses cannot be sold to you, but there are not many war horses on my side. At the same time, I also need war horses urgently, so I can only free up two hundred horses at most, and there will be no more."
Fair immediately looked happy. Although it was one-time, it was much better than ten horses per month, because in this way, two 100-man cavalry teams could be formed directly, without having to add up the amount of ten horses per month before they could be seen, so no new cavalry teams had been formed at all.
Thinking of this, Fair immediately said excitedly: "Sir Cons, let's prepare funds!"
It is normal for Fer to be so excited. The combat effectiveness of the two cavalry teams is as weak as an ant in the eyes of several major countries, but on the flying peninsula, it is enough to decide the outcome. After all, the cavalry's damage to infantry is really huge.
"Wait, I won't sell these war horses," said Cons.
Fair was stunned, then remembered something and said, "I wonder what Lord Cons is going to exchange for these war horses?"
"Craftsmen, shipbuilders, if they don't want to, they will be free from talking about anything."
As soon as Cons said this, everyone's face changed, Bikud and Celtic looked full of praise, while Ferr looked embarrassed.
Seeing Cons' relaxed and comfortable expression, Fer knew that Cons actually didn't care about the craftsman's problem. Thinking of this, Fer gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know how to change it?" There is nothing we can do about it. Although boatmen are important to coastal cities, cavalry that ensures territorial security is even more important. Fer knew that his choice would be recognized by the Lord.
Before Cons spoke, Celtic looked at everyone, but no one knew what his eyes meant. Bikud opened his palm and shook it back and forth, and Okde made a gesture.
Seeing this, Cons thought for a while and smiled, "I will exchange for three ordinary boatmen with a war horse. This boatmen have no requirements, as long as they are boatmen."
Hearing this, Bikud and Celtic both wanted to say something with eagerness, but in the end they just sighed and said nothing, while Ferr slapped his chest with relief, ensuring that he would definitely send the boatman in the shortest time.
Of course he dared to pat his chest. The outstanding ship craftsman might be scolded by the lord, but since Cons had no requirements for the ship craftsman, he could be regarded as a ship craftsman as long as he participated in the construction of the ship and had some carpenter abilities. Such a person would have as much as he wanted in the lord, and it was not worth it to be difficult for him.
After Fel was anxious to leave, Celtic immediately shouted to Cons: "Brother! Brother, I tried my best to wink you for ten of him, why do you want three?"
And Bikud sighed, "Brother Cons, how could you speak like this? This time you will definitely lose money. That guy will definitely give you the most incompetent and oldest craftsman. What's the use of such a craftsman coming? It's simply a burden!"
Cons smiled and said, "Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the craftsmen are incompetent. As long as they reach a certain age, they will definitely have one or two tricks. As long as these craftsmen pass on these tricks, can we still suffer a loss?"
"Teacher? It's a joke. This is their ability to eat. Will they be willing to teach?" Bikud said sneering.
Okede interrupted and said, "Hehe, the provincial governor, since these craftsmen were exchanged for war horses, then they are slaves of my adults. Since they are slaves, will they dare not obey orders?
"Besides, as long as my adults give you a reward of how much money you will be rewarded with one apprentice. I believe they will rush to take out their skills."
Celtic clapped his hands and praised him for his goodness, while Bikud glanced at Okde deeply and sighed in his heart: "Talent, it's a pity that it's not mine."
I don’t know if Qingyue City needs war horses in particular. In just two or three days after Fair left, he carried six hundred craftsmen’s ships and anchored on the dock of Consling.
But as Bikud was worried, these six hundred craftsmen were either old or young, and in addition to these six hundred craftsmen, they also had thousands of craftsmen's families.
Fair said without blushing that the family members of these craftsmen were gifts given by their lord to congratulate Cons on becoming his partner.
In addition to Cons and his confidants, other militias who switched to the Imperial Army, including Bikud and others, despised the Lord of Qingyue City. The craftsmen were all slaves and sent slaves to others, but even sent them to the slave family. What is this not to reduce the burden?
Fair may also feel that it is a bit scammed, so after exchanging the product catalog, he immediately excitedly carried two hundred war horses back to Qingyue City.
Of course, after reading the product catalog, Bikud and Celtic could not help but curse in the direction of Qingyue City.
When Bikud and his friends saw that the craftsmen's family thought of burden, while Cons and his friends saw that the craftsmen's family thought of population. Cons, who was trying to increase the population of the territory, immediately accepted the craftsmen's family with a smile on their faces. At the same time, they did not break them apart, but arranged them according to the family one by one.
Of course, they can only have a family of people huddled in a tent. After all, even most militiamen do not live in wooden houses. However, if they had not been back with Oak to the provincial capital to purchase, these craftsmen would have to stay in the open air.
Although the conditions were simple, but the craftsmen who were originally sent to others and felt that their future was bleak, they could live with their families when they saw that they were in disguise. Although the living environment was as narrow as before, their mood was very different, and they immediately recognized the new master.
Not a day after these craftsmen came ashore, when Liu Bin was commanding the personal guards and militia to settle the family of the craftsmen, Xiang Wen and Weijie, who went to recruit the merchant regiment, also came back at this time.
The young militia, who was surrounding the young women among the craftsmen's family, immediately rushed to the dock with saliva to welcome the arrival of the merchant regiment. The militia, who had been unaware of the smell of meat for many days, were looking forward to the stars and the moon.
When several professional business groups set up camp, all the militias led by Cons learned howls, and Cons led by Cons were noisy until dawn for the first time.
The next day, in addition to the militia, personal guards, and servants, the family members of the craftsmen and Neil's direct subordinates also participated.
The militia did not say that he was ordered by Cons, and Neil's direct subordinates came back to report the news and took the opportunity to enjoy the opportunity.
As for the family of the craftsman, it was because Cons gave each craftsman a gold coin. Although this gold coin could not be eaten or drunk, it was enough to buy some daily necessities. A smile appeared on the faces of the family of the craftsman for the second time.
