Start as Inherited Baroness
Chapter 60 Weapons Merchant
The flag was painted with the pattern of the sun and the moon shining together. Simon and his party arrived at the edge of the caravan camp not long after.
"Sir, what do you want to buy?
We are a caravan from Iron Hill Castle, mainly selling weapons and armor.
That's the Tulip Caravan, which brought a lot of food."
Immediately, a middle-aged man in scale armor came over with several guards and said enthusiastically.
"Let me see your goods, first let me see your armor and weapons." Simon said in a low voice.
There was a family emblem on the armor he wore, which Winness put on when she had the chance.
Therefore, the merchant immediately stared at him and negotiated with him cordially.
"Sir, please come this way, the goods are all on the carriage." The middle-aged man in scale armor smiled.
Simon glanced at the situation at the merchant camp and refused: "No, pull it over here."
The two caravans seemed to be traveling together, with nearly 200 armored guards in total, and their strength should not be underestimated.
If there was a sudden attack, Simon could only flee back to the camp and defend it in a dangerous place.
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The leader of the merchants wearing scale armor smiled and didn't care, and led his men back to the camp.
After a while, he drove two carriages back.
One carriage was loaded with weapons such as iron swords, spears, maces, battle axes and bows and arrows.
The other carriage was loaded with several types of armor, including leather armor, iron-studded leather armor, chain mail, iron-plated light armor, heavy armor, and heavy scale armor.
There was no plate armor. Heavy armor and heavy scale armor were actually of the same nature and belonged to the category of armor, but the former was rough and the latter was fine.
Simon's guards no longer needed to change their equipment, as they were already very sophisticated.
He thought about changing it for the foot soldiers. This kind of slave soldiers had good potential. If they were trained, it would not be a problem to reach the level of high-level warriors.
Therefore, he set his sights on the iron-plated light armor, which also had good protection.
The whole set consists of a braided breastplate, a conical iron helmet, arm guards, shoulder guards, skirt guards, and leather boots.
Ordinary swords cannot cut through the chest, and spears can hardly pierce it.
It would be better if it could be matched with a single layer of chain mail, but the budget is a bit insufficient.
"How much is a set of braided light armor?" Simon asked calmly.
"Sir, a set of eight golden eagles is already very cheap." The caravan leader said with a smile on his face.
"It seems that you have no sincerity at all. Are you deceiving me that I don't know the market price?!"
Simon heard this, his face sank, and he said angrily.
Then, he patted his horse and went to the Tulip Caravan.
"Hey! Hey! Sir, you can bargain, don't be angry.
Six golden eagles! Hey sir, five golden eagles... can be reduced a little bit..."
The caravan leader's face changed, and he said anxiously. To be honest, these armors are not easy to sell.
They overestimated the situation of the weapons market in West Sedi. The sons of nobles who were granted titles had no shortage of armor, while the new nobles were mostly poor.
Simon heard this, pulled the reins, turned around and went back, and said to Mailan who was not far away: "Go call Mad and bargain with him."
"Yes." Mailan immediately rode away.
After that, Simon chatted with the leader of the caravan, holding a conical iron helmet in his hand and looking up and down.
Not long after, Mad followed Mailan on a horse.
Simon put down the iron helmet, rode to his side, and whispered: "Buy fifty sets of iron light armor and bargain with him. The lower the better."
"I understand! My lord! You can see what I am doing..." Mad nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and said confidently.
After that, he walked to the caravan leader with a smile on his face, and the two began to talk enthusiastically...
Mad's trading skills are very high, and he may be able to buy things at a much lower price. For things with inflated values, he should be able to lower the inflated prices.
He talked for more than half an hour, making both of them sweat.
In the end, the results were quite fruitful, and the transaction price of a set of iron light armor was less than four golden eagles.
Although it was slightly more expensive than the price in the mainland, they had to pay some labor fees for transporting them over a long distance.
The caravan leader shook his head and sighed, returned to the camp, and transported fifty sets of iron light armor. Simon sent someone to check them carefully.
After confirming that they were correct, he paid the money in full.
As for the other things of the caravan, Simon was not very interested, and then took people to the tulip caravan.
"Baron, what do you want to buy?
I have rye, barley, wheat and black beans here, all of which are excellent new grains."
The leader of the tulip caravan said politely.
Simon nodded slightly, glanced at them, and thought to himself: "This caravan seems to be a little strange.
A caravan leader is wearing plate chain mail, and the guards are too well-equipped..."
After a moment of silence, he smiled and said: "Malan, Mad, go and see their rye."
"Yes." The two took the order and left.
"Come, the rye is here, please take a look, it's all newly harvested that year, you can smell it..."
The caravan leader greeted skillfully.
At this time, Simon's eyes were fixed on a young man in a brown robe, and he looked him up and down for a few times, and he always felt that this person had an extraordinary demeanor.
It didn't look like someone who often followed the caravan to ride horses, his skin was too white, much whiter than him.
It had a bit of aristocratic style, but he didn't wear any badges or marks on his body.
"Could it be that a noble family came to scout the area? There is such a possibility, and merchants are also doing spy work..."
Simon secretly doubted in his heart.
After a while, Mad and Mailan returned and said, "Sir, their rye is really good. I can confirm that it is new this year."
"Well, buy thirty cars, but we will send our own cars to pull it, and don't let their people wander around." Simon heard it and said seriously.
"Yes! Got it!" Mailan responded, and then took a few people to prepare.
Mad went to the caravan leader to negotiate the price and paid the money.
Rye is not worth much, so much is just a few golden eagles, Simon didn't care.
He thought for a while, and then took people to the Iron Hill Caravan.
"Sir! What else do you want?" The caravan leader was full of joy and greeted him enthusiastically.
"I want twenty longbows, in addition, fifty bowstrings, twenty bags of arrows, and two bags of armor-piercing arrows." Simon said.
He felt a little uneasy, so he decided to buy more weapons for defending the city.
Now the Yongyi Territory does not have the ability to make hard bows, nor can it make qualified military bowstrings, so it is better to buy more for backup.
These things are not cheap, and they cost a lot of golden eagles.
When Simon returned to the camp, only a few dozen of the three hundred golden eagles he took out were left.
Most of them were spent on armor and weapons.
"Sarrit, go and replace these fifty sets of iron light armor with the foot soldiers.
The replaced leather armor will be given to the servants who can be mobilized at any time." Simon ordered.
"Yes." Sarrit responded and went.
"Aile, you take fifty guards to monitor the people of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, and don't let them walk around in my territory at will."
He thought about it and ordered again.
"My lord, I understand!" Aile saluted and then went to recruit soldiers.
