Chapter 68 Trade 2

"You have sugar here?" Robert said in surprise.

"Of course." Chris nodded: "You haven't drunk it just now."

Robert looked at Chris in surprise. This pioneering territory that penetrated into the wilderness actually had white sugar. You should know that there are not many places that produce brown sugar in the Kingdom of Florence, and the white sugar is even less pitiful. Now this small town with a population of only 1,000 actually produces white sugar.

Soon, Robert recovered his calmness. He realized that he was lucky this time and sorted out his mood. Robert continued, "So I don't know how Miss Chris, how are you going to trade these sugars?"

"Tell me what you think first?" Chris said without raising the little whip in his hand.

"We are willing to buy all the sugar in your territory and sign a contract. In the future, we are willing to buy all the sugar in your territory of Your Excellency Sulun. At the same time, we will give you a 20% discount on all the materials needed by your territory." Robert said.

"All sugar? Robert, your Skylark Chamber of Commerce has a big appetite." Chris shook his head. "If you want to monopolize the sugar trade? Dispel this idea as soon as possible."

Robert was not surprised. As long as he was not a fool, he would not hand over all the sugar to a chamber of commerce for monopoly. He still felt a little regretful in his heart, "How much sugar can he sell to us?"

"The sugar used to trade this time is fifty kilograms, and the price per kilogram is fifty jinnals." Chris said with a smile.

"Fifty kilograms of white sugar?" Robert was secretly surprised. Although fifty kilograms were not much, the sugar in Carter City was only sixty or seventy kilograms a year, and now it has doubled.

"No, fifty pounds are too small, and the price is also high. You should know that in Carter City, the price of sugar is only thirty jinars. If we follow this price, we can't make a copper nanal and we will lose money even if we can't make a copper nanal!" Robert shook his head and said.

"Mr. Robert, do you think I don't know the market for sugar?" Chris glanced at him and then continued: "Thirty kinars are indeed the market price, but that is the price of the distribution of sugar. You won't know how much the amount of sugar is distributed. You can't tell me, thirty kilograms a year, the share of the nobles in the entire city of Carrent is just that. What are the prices of other sugars?"

Because the sugar yield is very low, in the Kingdom of Florence, half of the sugar yield is directly distributed to each noble. Each noble distributor of these sugar is a fixed share, ensuring that every noble will have it, and the price is also fixed as the distribution of sugar.

There are hundreds of nobles in Carrent City. So many nobles divide 30 kilograms of sugar, but on average, each person doesn’t even have half a kilogram. This amount is naturally not enough, but if you want more sugar, you need to buy market sugar. Of course, the price of sugar in the market is much higher, and the minimum is doubled, and the supply is in short supply.

"And do you think we will lack partners? As long as the news about sugar is released, those chambers of commerce will definitely flock to you, so you will recognize your position."

The sugar trade began in Zhenbeibao, and Gene also led the caravan to Carent City. The development of the territory required a large amount of supplies and population, and Sulun was preparing to rely on the sugar trade to obtain it.

In fact, only after stable trade can the development of a territory be truly driven. For example, if there is trade in Sulun, more caravans will come to trade. If the caravan wants to come to Zhenbeibao, they need to go through the dangerous wilderness, so they must hire guards. In this way, a caravan will have at least hundreds of people.

The arrival of these people has also driven local consumption. It won’t take long for various hotels and restaurants to appear in towns. The prosperity of the economy will naturally allow more people to come here. If you want to develop here, you will naturally buy industries. The houses and land built by Sulun will also become popular.

The arrival of these populations will also provide a large amount of taxes to the territory. In this way, Sulun's territory will form a virtuous cycle. Only in this way can the territory be considered successfully established.

At noon, people who had been busy all morning were resting, and the women and children had prepared a sumptuous lunch. The craftsmanship of the barbarian women was not very good. Their best way was to stew them randomly, put various meats and foods into a big pot, add water and salt to stew them all the time.

The most common food in the territory is potatoes, and fortunately it is potatoes. Otherwise, with the skills of the barbarian women, the stewed things will definitely be a disaster. Potatoes stewed with fish, potatoes stewed with beef, potatoes stewed with lamb, etc.

The barbarian warriors do not have high requirements for food. As for the goblins, kobolds and werewolves as slaves, they would eat well. Sulun now misses the various delicacies in his previous life.

The rain for two consecutive days made the territory muddy, and the autumn rain for two consecutive days brought a hint of chill. Under the order of the lord, the serfs were catching up on the time to cultivate the farmland.

The promise of the Lord made these serfs see hope again. As poor people of this era, their requirements are actually very low. Sulun just gave them a faint hope, and they will work hard for their hope.

As long as you work hard, you can have enough food. Although a few people live in one house, the house is dry and warm, and it will not leak when it rains. There is a small house that shelters from the wind and rain. The lord promised that if they work hard for five years, they can gain freedom.

If you continue to work, you will also receive rewards for land and houses, which is simply a gift for those poor and careless serfs.

In early autumn, after the continuous autumn rain, most of the dry and heat in the air dissipated, and the potatoes planted in the fields had sprouted, and the earliest batch had grown green leaves. These potatoes were the food for wintering in Zhenbeibao. In addition to these, the most salted fish in Zhenbeibao warehouses were dried.

These dried salted fish are specially made to supplement meat in winter, and there are also some made jerky meat. However, with the arrival of autumn, the weather is less and less suitable for drying dried fish.

Zhenbeibao was recognized by his system at this time, and even some resource points near the territory were included in the system. On the system's strategic map, Sulun's territory was not marked with many resources, namely wood resources, iron ore resources, and fish resources.

Other resources not found are not counted on this.

At present, the only things that can be used for trading in the territory are iron weapons and sugar. As for wood, Sulun's territory is too far from Blackstone City, and transported there is a loss of money.
