Chapter 904: Territory replacement(1/2)
"President Theodore, it's not about that matter, but I have other things I want to ask you about!" Nalant shook his head.
As for Jerry and the others, Theodore had already said yesterday that proper arrangements would be made, so he was not worried about this.
"Other things, Nalant, please tell me!" President Theodore nodded after hearing this, put down some pieces of parchment on hand, and waited for Nalant to ask.
"President Theodore, I would like to ask, if I want to sell the North Burley territory I just acquired, do you think other empires will buy it?"
"Also, if it is really sold, at what price should it be sold?"
Nalant didn't hesitate and asked his question directly.
But Theodore was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened, "Narant, are you planning to sell the territory of North Burley?"
"That's right, President Theodore, this Northern Burley territory is located in the north, separated by many empires. I can't manage it at all, so I thought it would be better to sell it." Nalant nodded.
In fact, he had already thought about it. After acquiring this territory, he would definitely take action as soon as possible.
Not to mention that he doesn't have that much free time to manage this enclave.
Another important reason is that Narante cannot trust the Nabach Empire.
These guys are bowing their heads now because they are forced by the situation, so they are willing to sit down and negotiate with themselves.
But once the other party is free, they will probably cause trouble for themselves.
Although Nalant felt that the other party would definitely not mobilize troops to attack his Storm Territory again.
But the territory of Beiboli is right next to him. If he takes it back at the slightest disagreement, there is nothing he can do about it.
Although Nalant could withstand the attack of Bach's 100,000-strong coalition, it was unable to directly attack the Bach Empire for the time being.
Therefore, this enclave still needs to be sold early, and it is only right to replace it with gold coins or other things that you can control.
Moreover, Nalant had reason to believe that Duke Michel might be having this idea.
"Narant, are you really willing to sell your territory?"
Nalant's affirmative answer really exceeded President Theodore's expectations.
Which of the nobles in this world does not have a deep attachment to the land, because the land represents their foundation.
It is precisely because of this that unless they are at the end of their rope and on the verge of bankruptcy, the nobles will definitely be reluctant to sell their territories.
At the moment, Nalant's territory has not yet been acquired, let alone covered.
But he has already thought about selling it. He is simply an outlier among the nobles.
"Narant, did you plan to sell it when you promised to use the North Burleigh territory as ransom?"
Suddenly, President Theodore thought of something.
"That's right, President Theodore, I know I can't control this territory, so I thought about selling it from the beginning!"
Narante nodded.
"Haha, Nalant, your rise is indeed no accident." President Theodore was also generous in his praise.
When he winked at Nalanthe before, he actually thought of the risk that the Bach Empire might go back on its word in the future.
At first, he thought Nalant didn't notice his wink just now, but now it seems that all this was part of Nalant's plan.
"Nalant, although the climate in the North Burley territory is relatively cold, the crop yield is slightly lower than in warm areas like the Black Rock Plains."
"But Northbury is a very safe area. Except for the occasional appearance of monsters, there are almost no other threats."
"So, Beiboli is actually one of the important grain producing areas in many empires."
"And if this land is sold, each earldom will be able to sell it for at least eight to nine million gold coins!"
"Eight to nine million gold coins, not bad! It doesn't seem like a loss!" Nalant suddenly smiled.
Although he has only obtained a territory equivalent to the size of three counties, which is worth about more than 20 million gold coins.
But it was a sky-high asking price at the beginning, so now the value is definitely beyond his original bottom line.
When President Theodore saw this, he smiled slightly and said, "Narant, although the value of this territory is definitely worth eight or nine million gold coins."
"But if you really want to sell it at this price, it's still a bit difficult. Even... whether there is an empire willing to acquire it is also a question."
"Oh, President Theodore, can you tell me why?" Nalant's smile disappeared immediately, and he frowned slightly and asked.
"Narant, since you have thought that the Bach Empire is likely to take action against the three earls of North Burley again, then other empires must also understand."
"So, if you want these empires to be willing to acquire your territory, unless there are benefits that they cannot refuse."
"You should understand what this irresistible benefit means, right?"
President Theodore looked at Nalant and spoke.
And Narant naturally knew what it meant.
That is, enough benefits must be given up to make the empires feel that they can prevent the troubles that the Bach Empire may cause in the future at all costs.
Therefore, Narant can't even think about eight or nine million gold coins.
Unless the price is halved, it is estimated that many empires will be tempted to take action.
"Damn it, I lost half of it right now!"
Nalant's heart suddenly started to bleed, as the saying goes, brothers settle the scores.
Although his relations with other empires are pretty good, business is business.
At that time, people will definitely try their best to lower the price. After all, the current situation is a buyer's market.
"Narant, in fact, I think it would be good if we could sell a county for four to five million gold coins. At least it would be more cost-effective than asking the Bach Empire to directly give out the gold coins."
"After all, I think if you really let the Bach Empire ransom those coalition prisoners with gold coins, then the maximum ransom they would give would probably not exceed six million gold coins."
"And now that you have obtained the territory of Beiboli, you can sell it for double the price. This is already a profit!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Nalant's look, Theodore laughed.
I thought that this cunning little fox was still a little impulsive after all, and didn't think everything through.
"President Theodore, do you think that if I exchange the three counties of North Burley for the territory of Black Rock Plain, would those empires be willing?"
However, the next moment, Nalant suddenly asked a question that Theodore did not expect.
"Exchanging North Burleigh for the land of Black Rock Plains? Nalant, this is not a good deal!" Theodore shook his head.
"Nalant, if you directly exchange the territory of Beibolli for gold coins, then these gold coins will still be in your hands and help you develop the territory faster."
"But if it were replaced by the land of Black Rock Plain, it would definitely not be of any benefit to you."
"The Black Rock Plains being harassed by orcs is not something that happens in a day or two. If you exchange it, let alone farming with peace of mind, I am afraid that letting your subordinates stationed at the border will consume a lot of your experience."
"I know Nalant that you have repelled several orc attacks, but that was against a large group of orcs."
"But for those small scattered groups of orcs, they are like rats in the dark corners. There is no way you can completely get rid of them."
"This is why the six empires ignored the fertile black rock plains and paid little attention to it."
"Because, compared to the Black Rock Plain, the six empires have other equally safe and fertile lands."
"President Theodore, I know that orcs are indeed a trouble for Black Rock Plains."
"However, it is precisely because of this that I feel that if I propose to replace the territory of Black Rock Plains with the territory of North Burleigh, the empires will be more interested."
"That way I don't have to sell off the North Burley property at a super low price."
"After all, I think the empires must be able to understand the difference between a stable territory and a land that can only be idle."
Theodore's persuasion did not change Nalant's idea of replacing the Black Rock Plains with the North Burleigh territory.
Because he really couldn't stand the behavior of selling land at low prices.
Therefore, if land can be exchanged for land, at least the North Burley territory will not be sold at a low price.
As for whether Nalant can guard against the orcs who are fighting against the autumn wind after he has really acquired the Black Rock Plains territory.
In this regard, Nalant was very confident that these orcs could be reduced to parts.
But no matter how hidden they were, they couldn't escape the patrols of the little bees.
Therefore, this matter is not a problem at all.
Furthermore, there is no need to develop the territory immediately after acquiring it, Nalant only needs to hold it in his hands.
