After sending someone out, the old butler looked like he wanted to speak.

Link: "What do you want to say?"

Old housekeeper: "Marquis Marquis, I don't want to question your decision, but if these three chambers of commerce join forces, it will have a great impact on the territory's business. Most of the salt and iron resources lacking in the territory are transported to sell by these three chambers of commerce. If these three chambers of commerce join forces to raise the price of salt and iron, or even stop the sale of salt and iron, it will have a great impact on the territory.

At that time, we need to send our own people to buy these resources outside, and we also need to send strong people to escort along the way to avoid accidents."

Link: "Don't worry, there are not only these three chambers of commerce in this world."

The old housekeeper: "Since the Marquis has long thoughts, I have been over-thinking."

In fact, the three chambers of commerce have already had a plan, that is, what will happen if the new Marquis of Raphael do not accept their squeeze. Of course, it is stuck on his neck and the salt and iron resources transported into the Marquis of Raphael are in the hands of the three chambers of commerce, and the remaining 10% is considered border trade between adjacent territories, which is not controlled by the three chambers of commerce. One feature of such border trade is that the transaction volume will not be too large.

After raising the price of salt and iron in the Marquis of Raphael, the entire territory will have a surge in the cost of living. Iron tools are consumables, especially iron farm tools and iron tools. And no one can avoid salt. Eating less salt will make people gray hair and even lose their whole body. Not eating salt will cause death. The amount of salt in the army is more than that of citizens.

Even if the new Marquis of Raphael is a legendary powerhouse, it is just a pure commercial act when it comes to business and the price of goods in the Chamber of Commerce is just a pure commercial act. If it really takes action, the reputation will be spread and no Chamber of Commerce will come to the Marquis of Raphael to do business.

It was three days later that Link learned that the price of salt and iron in the territory had doubled, and complaints were inevitable, but because the time was still short, it did not have much adverse effects.

However, most people do not buy salt for a few days, but once a month or even a few months. Anyway, the salt will not deteriorate. On the contrary, after the price of salt doubles, everyone is willing to buy salt for a few days to eat, and then look at the future changes.

Maybe other caravans will bring salt to sell when they see the high salt price here.

As for iron tools, even fewer people urgently need to buy them. A piece of iron plow can be repaired and used for decades. After the iron plow and iron pot breaks, most people will not buy new ones. They just go to find a blacksmith to add a few kilograms of iron to repair it and continue to use it.

The blacksmith is the biggest buyer of the Chamber of Commerce, and the blacksmith will also save a certain amount of iron, so how can we buy iron ingots every day? As the price of iron rises, there are more small vendors on the market who collect scrap iron and sell scrap iron to blacksmith shops.

If repaired, iron ingots and scrap iron are actually iron.

After learning the news, Link was not surprised. If he had no means, how could he force himself to submit?

However, they were destined to think too much. Developing a ruby ​​mine was His Highness Helena's decision, and His Highness the Legendary Wizard would never sit idly by.

Link has not come back these days, so he brought the people from Baishan Fortress to Hongshan Fortress (Link’s name is just that). Now, Baishan Fortress has only 50 cavalry and 50 infantry left, saying that it is to defend this place, but in fact, this little person only has a patrol and early warning function.

Nowadays, nearly a thousand soldiers are mostly developing ruby ​​minerals in the Red Mountain Fortress, and even five magic soldiers are working hard to build the Red Mountain Fortress.

Originally, Hongshan Fortress was located in a turnaround place, but unexpectedly, after finding rubies here, Baishan Fortress became a turnaround place.

Link even equipped the one hundred epic dwarf muskets in his hand to the soldiers of the Red Mountain Fortress. In Red Turkish City, only fifty-five people equipped the epic dwarf muskets.

When I returned home in the morning, Link was not very anxious after hearing the news. He just used the magical messaging ring to send a message to His Highness Helena. Then he started to rest.

In the afternoon, Lucy pulled the portal and sent Alice, a roommate who was learning magic at Link.

Except for the portal, he saw Link Alice lifting her skirt and bowing slightly: "I have seen His Highness Marquis Raphael."

Link: "You're an old classmate, don't be polite."

Alice: "This time I came here to go to the business with His Highness Helena. This time I came to record the magic coordinates. My family has prepared the goods in the imperial capital. Before dark, we can deliver the first batch of salt and iron. I would like to ask, Lord Marquis, what kind of checkout are you? If you use gold and silver coins to pay, I will lose a lot of money on one way."

Link took out a small bag of jewelry-grade gems from the storage space and poured it on the table: "How about checking out with gems? Just check out with half the market price."

Jewelry-level gems are not of high value to Link, but about half of the rubies produced by mining are only jewelry-level and relatively valuable. The Marquis of Raphael itself does not have a market for consuming these jewelry-level gems.

On the contrary, the Alice House Chamber of Commerce is in the imperial capital. As the saying goes, there are many people and wealth, and there are many rich people in the emperor who can always sell these jewelry-grade gems.

After checking a few rubies, Alice took out a magic balance from her storage wrist guard and weighed it.

Alice: "Well, our salt and iron are shipped to you at 90% of the market price. The profit of salt and iron is not as high as luxury goods like gems. Ninety percent is our limit. The market price of jewelry-grade rubies is 20,000 gold coins per pound, and half price is 10,000 gold coins per pound. The price of gems here is 1,300 gold coins. Before dark, I will bring the equivalent salt and iron here. Just prepare the warehouse here."

"This is a good idea, nine percent of the time."

Link is the lord here. There is no need to make money when doing business. It is good to be able to stabilize the prices in the territory.

The next day, the city lord's mansion found an unmanned store and rented it. A truckload of salt and iron was transported in and the store opened soon and began to sell salt and iron at a fair price - the affordable price here is 100% twice the purchase price of Link, and there is still a certain profit.

This is also to prevent the three chambers of commerce from stocking up. The price of salt and iron in the Marquis of Raphael is originally more expensive than the origin, and the cost of transportation and the profits of the chamber of commerce must be calculated.

The three chambers of commerce had a lot of eyeliners in the city, and soon calculated that the total amount of salt and iron moved into this new store was worth about one thousand gold coins. In theory, if the three chambers of commerce still wanted to carry on, they should send someone to eat all the affordable salt and iron in this shop.

However, no one knows how much source of goods the new Marquis organized. This world has teleportation magic and space equipment. Because there is no new caravan entering the city, the three chambers of commerce believe that this is using magic portals and space equipment to organize the purchase, which is not uncommon on a magical continent.
