Lord of the North
Chapter 39 Depends on Acting Skills
"I've done some research before I came here. Although iron teeth collars are poor, bows and arrows and leather armor are still very popular in other places." Virlia took a sip of water and said.
Willia was ready to master the rhythm and made an offer Jason couldn't refuse.
Indeed, these bows and arrows are very popular in the southern part of the kingdom, and even in other countries. Hunters in the north are used to using short bows.
This kind of bow is short, light and easy to carry, and it looks very delicate with a little modification. It is very popular among nobles, but only the Kingdom of Susin really started to trade this kind of short bow.
However, Jason has limited channels, so he can only sell them in the vicinity of the Northland. Not to mention the small profits, the local lord will collect a large amount of taxes, and the inconvenient transportation also made Jason distressed for a long time.
He wanted to learn how his predecessors laid railways and built steam engines, but the reality severely shattered his fantasy.
The first problem he encountered was lack of money, the second was lack of iron, which was no different from the first one, and the third was that he knew nothing about the structure and manufacture of the steam engine except that it was powered by steam.
Then he wanted to make gunpowder. Apart from knowing that charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur were needed, he was also confused. No one here even knew what sulfur was.
Although he knew that there would be sulfur near the volcano, there was only one place in the entire continent where there was a volcano, and on the south side of the continent, this road was impassable again.
Now he sees another opportunity.
It would be a very good choice for him if he could sell it to the business alliance for operation, or directly to the Kyle family, so that Jason wouldn't have to face those damned vampires.
The premise is that Violet can give herself a satisfactory price.
But the initiative is not in his hands, Jason rubbed his forehead slightly distressed, he was too excited just now.
"But the number of bow makers is too small, and a good short bow cannot be made in a day or two. The work efficiency is really low." Jason said distressedly.
There are only more than 300 bow makers in the entire arsenal, and they have bad tempers and are unwilling to lower their production requirements, but the steps of making bows and arrows are too cumbersome.
As a result, each of these bow makers can only make one excellent short bow in about three months, and even according to them, it takes a year or even longer to make a high-quality bow!
The arsenal has been established for such a long time and has only produced 230 short bows, except for those equipped with the army, only 60 or 70 can be traded.
What's more, the materials needed to make a bow are too expensive, and the price is too low to be suitable. This is why the hunters in the Northland only make bows and arrows, but do not sell bows and arrows.
One is that they don't have that much money to buy materials; the other is that they lack trustworthy channels, and those merchants are black-hearted masters; affordable.
"The price I gave, I believe the lord will like it."
Virlia smiled slightly, and she held Jason's sore foot. As long as this trade issue is stuck, the next negotiation will be much easier.
"What conditions do you have?"
At this time, Jason stopped pretending to be confused with her, and went straight to the point, leaning on his chair and looking at Virlia playfully.
He has already seen that the eldest daughter of the Kyle family is clearly here to discuss cooperation with him. No matter what purpose she came for, this business must be negotiated!
In the final analysis, the development of iron teeth collar still needs money.
"I was entrusted by someone to redeem Bell Boya." Violet said with a smile.
"I don't have anyone named Bel Boya here!" Jason replied very seriously and affirmatively.
Greedy guy! Violet gritted her teeth,
She could tell that this young nobleman would not scatter eagles when he sees rabbits, but if he agreed to Boya's request and failed to do so, these vassals would be disappointed.
The Kyle family also has enemies.
"It's the young man who contradicted you in your territory a few months ago and was knocked unconscious by you." She reminded Jason and at the same time secretly mocked Jason, but Jason had a thick skin and didn't care about such a small problem .
"Bo Ya's family offered 8,000 gold coins and five undersea pearls as an apology." Virlia told about the gifts from Boya's family, but Jason didn't know how much she had withheld.
But Jason was still thinking, as if he still couldn't think of it, don't blame Jason for being too greedy, he is almost crazy poor now.
"Oh, by the way, the Business Alliance is also willing to give out another two thousand gold coins and ten sets of chain armor to support the development of your lord's territory." Virlia was still smiling, but she was already cursing in her heart.
Pooh! Good-looking, yet so greedy at such a young age! Can't I remember that there is still a mayor here? You won't ask?
She had a lot of resentment. If Jason wasn't an important step for the Kyle family's chamber of commerce to enter the kingdom, she would immediately get up and leave. After all, it would not be easy to meet a prince with a strong background but temporarily excluded.
It happened to take advantage of the matter of the third young master of the Boya family to get in touch with him and evaluate whether he deserves the support of the Kyle family. The answer is obvious, the second son of the kingdom is not as bad as the rumors say.
"Oh! I remembered, there is such a person!" Jason suddenly realized, looking at Willita apologetically and said.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about this person. I don't know if I'm starving to death now." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help muttering.
Violet's expression froze when she heard this, but she immediately realized that this brat was trying to amuse her.
"Come on, go and bring that rude guy here." Jason waved his hand to the guards outside.
"For the sake of the beautiful Miss Violet, I will let him go first this time."
Are you looking at the face of the shiny gold coins? Violet swore she had never seen such a shameless noble.
"Then I don't care about that guy. I'll take him away when I leave. Let's talk about business cooperation first."
She quickly calmed down and regained her composure to talk to Jason about business issues. In such a situation, she must seize the initiative.
"Okay, but let's have some snacks first. We'll talk about business issues later. I don't want the beautiful Miss Violet to be hungry." Jason smiled and nodded, not answering her topic.
"But...but I've already eaten before I came here." Violet stared at her big beautiful eyes, a little unable to keep up with Jason's train of thought.
"But I didn't eat it." Jason looked innocent.
"..."
In this way, under the watchful eyes of a group of people, Jason drank fresh milk, ate exquisite desserts, and listened to Violet's saliva, and finished this comfortable breakfast.
Violet clenched her small fists and was about to explode with rage. She really was a man without gentlemanly demeanor.
Seeing Jason eating breakfast with relish, she was actually a little hungry, obviously just finished breakfast!
What was even more embarrassing was that her stomach actually made a "gurgle", and that nasty guy actually looked at her with a smile.
"Master Marquis, if you think it's fun, you can play by yourself, sorry I can't accompany you!" She kept a straight face, trying to make herself look angry and hide her embarrassment.
"How could it be?" Jason looked at her innocently, knowing that Violet was on the verge of breaking out, he immediately became serious, and he had to understand the truth that too much is too late, since the rhythm has returned, there is no need to challenge her bottom line.
"Then let's talk about cooperation!" Jason changed his frivolous expression and suddenly became serious. The speed of the change made Violet a little unacceptable.
"..."
