Chapter 17 (2/2)

Hearing his aide shout, he looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a shi+p with aleaf on their green banner, hanging on their single pole, slowly sailing down the river The hull waterline was very high, indicating that it was loaded with cargo

Petrov blankly nodded, but his heart sank, the prince un to contact those towns and cities downstreainally intended to acquire the ore for 30 percent lower than the nor Not to mention, after the stones were turned into polished jewelry, the price of luxury goods were several tiher Unfortunately, this was not a monopoly, nor was it only his fa project in Border Toere six noble families If they lacked majority consent, then there would be no resolution

However, they were slow in reacting, thinking that the situation was the sa project was not worth thatfive were indifferent, even his own father confidently rejected hi output waspossibilities, if they transitioned to the normal trade, they could earn more And if you earn more, you will be likely to produce more ore next year

Could they achieve the ht out before? In all likelihood, no, it certainly couldn’t be realized Petrov thought, since he could see the empty yard, the prince did not intend to let these ed for poor quality wheat, he had to contact the other buyers

If they still wanted to hold this line of business, a thirty percent discount was his best bargaining chip Since the distance between Willon and Border Toas further, this would end in an increase of the transportation costs, but Willon had more than one source of ore; the first price they would offer would likely be lower than the on Mountain and Red Town, the price would be even lower, so the 4th prince would agree to Longsong Stronghold em trade

But the probleree with it? The other five families believed that it would be a simple matter to let Border Town surrender, should he diset the contract?

After all, in their eyes, Border Toas still controlled by their own Longsong Stronghold, and everything could be given or taken away by them

They slowly crossed the town, heading toward the castle located in the southeast corner It was not Petrov’s first tied

When the guards saw the ambassador, they immediately went in and informed the Lord

But thanks to years of training in aristocratic culture, he could hness’ eating habits were a lot worse – in particular his use of the knife and fork Petrov noted that in addition to the carving knife, the 4th prince used a pair of s was completed, he used the sticks for all the other moves And it looked like… two sticks were much more convenient than a fork

“What do you think?” At the end of the meal, Roland suddenly questioned the ambassador

“Uh, what?” For a moment the ambassador lost his spirit

“This,” Roland shook the hands with the sticks, before answering Petrov, “The iron fork, for most people it is a luxury, not todirectly with your hand, it is very easy to put dirty things together with the normal food in the belly Disease enters by the mouth, you know? “

The ambassador didn’t kno to answer, he didn’t understand theto his understanding of the previous sentence, Roland was probably referring to the dirt stuck on food, and it would be easy to get sick when eating it But when sonose the sickness, no one knew the reason why they died

“Howdown one oak tree in the forest? These sticks are clean and easy to get I’ to promote this in the town”

The prince sipped his wine and continued, “Of course, now e that”

Petrov felt relieved, he no to answer Routinely, he expressed his support and blessing, but in his heart he did not agree Let all the people have meat? That would simply be whimsical, even Graycastle could not do this, and this Border Toas in this desolate land
