The Knight's Journey to the Empire

On May 4877, 5 in the Knight Continent calendar, in the conference room of Baron Sauron’s residence.

At this time, Soren, Wolfe, Gubellini and Javier had already gathered in the conference room.

They were listening carefully to Adam's report on the caravan trip.

As for Ramos, Martin and Doug Johnson, they went to deal with matters related to the recruitment and expansion of the territory guard.

"This time I led the White Bear Territory's caravan. After leaving the territory, we headed east to the county seat of Ganise County - Ganise City."

"In the city of Ganise, we bought five carts of sand salt, each cart was 1500 kilograms, a total of 7500 kilograms;"

"Since Ganise City is one of the main production areas of sea salt in the kingdom, the price of sand salt there is relatively cheap!"

"Because we purchased a large quantity and were willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the seller, the seller sold it to us at the lowest price of 120 copper coins per kilogram."

"So the total cost of this batch of sand salt is 360 gold coins."

"Among the other ten carriages, three were purchased by me in Ganise City!"

"The goods on it are all daily necessities, as well as the daily office supplies that you all asked me to buy before leaving, such as linen and cotton fabrics, pots and pans, pens, ink, paper, etc. There are all kinds of things!"

"Except for the pens, ink, and paper, the prices of these things are not very expensive, but because the purchase quantity is huge, the number of gold coins required is more than 200!"

"As for the grain that Brother Javier said he needed to buy, I have also discussed it with a trustworthy grain merchant and paid him a deposit first. In half a month, he will lead a caravan to deliver the grain to the territory!"

"And after I talked to him, he clearly expressed that he was very interested in our territory, so he wanted to send someone over to investigate!"

"In this way, although the price of these grains may be higher, I think this method will be safer."

"After all, it's a long way from Ganise City to our White Bear Territory. If we transport it ourselves, other accidents may happen!"

"They are old businessmen. They know the twists and turns much better than we do. And doing this will help promote the commercial development of the territory."

After telling everyone everything about his trip at once, Adam took a sip of water and then waited quietly for everyone's questions.

"Brother Adam, why did you buy so much sand salt?" Wolf asked in confusion.

Needless to say, you will know the quality of these sand salts!

Because that's what slaves and livestock eat!

And if we buy so much sand salt now, even if we distribute it to the entire territory, it will take more than three years to finish it!

In fact, other people didn't know that Adam was out doing business this time. It was Soran who specifically asked him to go out.

They thought that Adam had taken the position of commercial officer and just wanted to go out and learn about the market conditions on his own!

Moreover, Sauron had not yet spread the information that he possessed the method to refine sea salt among his confidants!

"This is what the Baron ordered!" When Wolfe asked this question, Adam immediately understood that Soran had not explained the situation to them.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to throw the question directly to Sauron.

Everyone then turned to look at Soran, also with a puzzled look on their faces!

Originally, Sauron didn't want to say it, because before the practical results came out, he was not sure whether his method would work!

After all, it was a different world, where even rebirth appeared! There was even the extraordinary power of fighting spirit!

It is normal for the normal rules of physics to change and cause Newton's coffin to fly.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be better to tell everyone everything.

After all, if the sand salt purification is really developed in the future, it is only a matter of time before everyone wants to know about it.

Moreover, everyone present here is a confidant whom he can trust.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about this secret being leaked out!

When they first heard the good news, the happiest people were Ramos and Gubellini.

Because they are the former and current financial officers of White Bear Territory.

Now one person is in charge of the territory's finances, and the other is in charge of Sauron's private treasury.

Therefore, they know everything about the territory’s financial situation!

And in the past few months, no matter what the financial situation is, it has only been going out and not coming in!

In this era when agricultural tax is the main form of taxation, if the territory has no harvest, there will be no fiscal revenue.

Nowadays, the arable land in White Bear Territory has just been developed and cultivated!

So this really worried them!

And now they suddenly heard that the territory had a new source of financial income, so how could they not be happy!

Of course, Sauron was also very worried about this!

If it weren't for the situation, given his personality, for safety reasons, he would definitely have to stay alive for a while before he could come up with this purification technology!

But now, with the Xueming Flower and Grassland in his possession, all his worries gradually disappeared!

And Woolf was just as happy!

Because the conduct or implementation of various tasks of the government affairs office also requires financial support!

Without saying anything else, let’s just talk about the second phase of Barrett’s Avenue of Wealth.

Now that the date is approaching mid-May, the busy farming season in the territory is almost over!

It is also time for the second phase of the project to be carried out!

He had submitted the relevant documents a long time ago, but had yet to receive Sauron's approval!

Not for anything else, just because of money!

The territory’s current finances are not completely out of funds.

But if it is taken out, the finances of the territory will be difficult to operate or maintain!

Because starting a business is really hard!

And the financial resources are not used up just like that!

You have to keep some reserve funds for emergencies or to maintain operations.

"Okay! You don't have to pin too much hope on this. I saw this method in an ancient book. Although I am very confident in this method! But the specific situation can only be known after practice!" Sauron did not discourage them, but pretended to tell the truth.
