Chapter 111, the debtor is(1/2)
The trade fair begins.
Walking on the street, there were a lot of goods piled up on the counters. The merchants' hawking sounds were endless.
The prosperous city of Dadir seems to be back.
It can be seen that Baron Sith did his homework. Not to mention anything else, it would take a lot of effort to gather such merchants.
Like the local nobles, Hudson only looked at it and didn’t buy it. This was agreed in advance by everyone. No matter what products appeared in the city, they would not trade this time.
As for the future, let’s talk about it at that time. The memory of the nobles also has time limits. Although emotionally speaking, you don’t want to see the nobles in the northern border become bigger, the southern region does need a trade center.
Several Dadier cities have become commercial centers, which can bring enough benefits to everyone, and I guess they will not refuse such convenience.
If the financial owners do not take action, the transaction volume will naturally not increase. The contributions of just a few dozen northern nobles are far from supporting a trading center.
Without any surprises, none of the orc slaves from Kate came to the Baron were sold. Not only did the local nobles not buy it, but also the northern nobles did not take care of the business.
Although Baron Sith came forward to say hello to everyone, it is a pity that all the northern nobles had a large number of orc slaves in their hands. If they hadn't known that they could not take action, they would probably have to sell some of them to cash out.
There is no way, orc slaves are really not easy to use. Apart from some simple and rough work, you can't do anything else.
The most important thing is that the language is not clear and it is difficult to go smoothly if you want to train.
Not every territory has endless hard work. When the number of slaves exceeds the demand, the lords will naturally not continue to buy slaves.
Even though everyone sympathized with Kate's experience in coming to Baron, it was only verbally. It was a bit short of asking them to take out real money to support them.
Besides, everyone was not helping. The northern nobles also collected several thousand gold coins and lent Kate to Baron for emergency response.
As entrepreneurs, this money is squeezed out from everyone's teeth. It is already very interesting to be able to do this.
After all, although everyone is aristocrat in the northern border, the northern border is also extremely vast, and most people have never had social interactions before.
If it weren't for chance that they would have gone south together, I guess they wouldn't even have the current relationship.
...
"Kate comes to Baron, it seems that no one wants these slaves. It is meaningless to keep them aside from wasting food. Find an opportunity to deal with them!"
The Sith sincerely suggested.
Although the reputation of massacre of slaves is not good, I can always find a way to cover it up. If I keep this group of idle people, my reputation will not be damaged, but my wallet can't stand it!
After only helping to raise the Baron Sith for two days, he felt the pressure. If Kate came to Baron, he would not be able to withstand it.
"Dear Baron Sith, this is really cruel. Otherwise, wait and see, no one wants these slaves now, because it is now in the slack season.
After two months, spring plowing began, and lords who needed labor might buy it.
You can rest assured that the daily expenses of the slaves were taken as I borrowed from you. As long as these slaves take action, I will return them as soon as possible." Kate Baron said sincerely.
Those who don’t know thought he attached great importance to the life and death of the slaves in front of him, but in fact he was just fighting for profit. Anyway, the slaves are now supported by Baron Sith, and his pressure has been greatly reduced.
If you can delay the spring plowing and sell these slaves, you will make a lot of money.
But this is just a possibility. No one can guarantee whether the local aristocrats will be short of labor during the spring plowing season.
At least during autumn plowing, people have completed the sowing with the help of relatives and friends.
When spring plowing, it is not impossible to borrow again. Most nobles will sell this kind of favor that is without risks and does not require much cost.
If these slaves are still not sold until spring plowing, not only will Kate come to the Baron, but even Baron Sith must follow and go crazy.
The poor are unable to pay back the money. The daily consumption of more than 20,000 slaves is a considerable expense.
Even if calculated based on the expenses of three copper coins per person per day, 25,000 people will have to spend 75,000 copper coins a day, which is equivalent to 50 gold coins.
After two months, at least three thousand gold coins will be wasted. This is just the most basic expense. The army expenses of guarding slaves are not included?
In case of an accident or a slave riot or something, I don’t know how much losses will be caused.
What's even more troublesome is that all the money was spent, and the big trouble of orc slaves was still not solved.
Returning is impossible. Slave dealers these days do not have the option of returning the product.
Perhaps Kate comes to the unlucky Baron, and the creditors will chase the world in the future, but Baron Sith, who has taken over the slave, will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
"impossible!"
"Kate comes to Baron. If you insist on keeping these slaves, then take them home and raise them yourself!
Dadir City does not welcome slave traders, I will immediately enact a set of laws that prohibit slave trade here.”
The Sith said coldly.
As a lord, he has the right to legislate in his own territory.
If the creditors were not too big, Kate could also make laws by himself to keep all the creditors out.
"Dear Baron Sith, I don't want this either. But there is no way. If I deal with these slaves now, I will lose all my investment.
According to the agreement, my debt period is only half a year. If I cannot repay the debts I owe within half a year, you can think of the consequences.
If you can come forward and ask the creditors to agree to postpone the debt recovery, I will do it immediately according to your will!
If you can't do it, then there is no way, so people can only let you go first. What do you want to do? I won't take them away anyway."
Kate said with a broken can.
Even if he offended Baron Sith to death, it would be better than being chased by his creditors. Now, among the two counties of Wyden, Baron Sith has the richest family.
Apart from relying on him, Kate could not find a better way to come to Baron.
"This is impossible! You have too much debt, and I don't have that kind of face. With this skill, it's better to beg your father.
If Viscount Hank Cage is willing to come forward, maybe everyone will give you another chance.
The territory of Maple Leaf is fertile. As long as you manage it with your heart, you still have hope of paying off your debts within five years."
The more you speak, the less the voice is. Obviously, the Baron Sith himself doesn’t believe this nonsense. No matter how fertile the Maple Leaf Corps is, the territory still needs to be spent!
Just calculating income without considering expenditure is simply a hooligan.
There are so many territory that earns tens of thousands of gold coins a year, but after spending, there are very few territory that can still be replenished with tens of thousands of gold coins.
Not to mention the Maple Leaf Corner, even if Dadir City was managed, Baron Sith could not guarantee that he would be able to redeem tens of thousands of gold coins every year.
If we simply calculate the territory income, the five major wealthy families in northern Xinjiang each occupy more than one province, and the annual income is enough for millions of gold coins, but in the end it is not enough to make ends meet?
It can be maintained because the great nobles have other industries.
Including Baron Sith, he wanted to build Dadir City into a trade center in the south, which was on the surface for taxation, but in fact it was to gather popularity and develop his own industries.
Relying solely on that little taxation is probably not enough for daily expenses.
What really makes money is to rent/sell shops, houses in the city, and sell food, vegetables, meat and some daily necessities produced from the territory.
Similar gameplay, Maple Leaf Collar cannot be copied. Just farming income, it is okay to live a quiet life, but it is impossible to get rich once you get rich.
Perhaps because he thought his idea was too bad, after a pause, Baron Sith added again: "Maybe you can go and talk to the mountain baron.
If there is anyone who has the greatest demand for labor among the two counties, that guy will count.
With that guy's appetite, even if the territory's population exceeded 20,000, it still could not meet his needs.
Anyway, you have dealt with me, so I can just sell the slave to him at a discount. As long as the price is cheap enough, he will not dislike him.
At worst, you can lose some money, which is better than just dragging it all the time. You should know that every day you delay, you will increase your losses of nearly 100 gold coins."
This is the truth. Although the Sith doesn't want to gain enemies, it's better to lose the enemy than to smash the hot potato into his own hands.
After this period of contact, he found that Hudson's strength lies in military and territorial development, and his political skills were really not obvious.
At least he will not support his competitors when he is transferred.
Since political means cannot keep up, the level of danger will be reduced. There is nothing wrong with developing a territory, but if you plunge head on the development of the territory, it will be a big failure.
"It's useless. That guy is also in debt now. For the sake of territory development, the idiot put all his money in it.
The situation is stable now, and the junk produced by that guy can no longer be sold, so he can only sell some agricultural tools and daily necessities.
If he hadn't been able to pay off his debts with the iron products he produced, his situation would not be much better than mine.
I have invested more than 60,000 gold coins in this batch of slaves alone. Even if I sell them at a loss, do you think that bastard has the ability to buy it?"
Kate said helplessly as the Baron.
In front of Baron Sith, he would not say good things about Hudson. Moreover, he had no good feelings for Hudson, and now he said everything from his heart.
After getting an unexpected answer, Baron Sith was mixed. It is undoubtedly a good thing to have problems with the competitor's finances, but the tragedy is that the trouble seems to be unavoidable.
"Cate, what do you want?
If it is a stupid thing to ask me to solve your debts for you, then there is no need to say it.
Everyone is smart, you should know how big the mess you have caused.
The investment of more than 60,000 gold coins has gathered a lot of garbage. Even if some of the high-quality slaves can be taken, the loss this time will not be less than 50,000 gold coins.
No one can bear such a huge loss of funds for you. Even if the plan fails, I will never agree.
I have done my best for your business. The colleagues in Northern Xinjiang have a large number of slaves in their hands, so it is impossible to take your plate."
Baron Sith said coldly.
