Give Me the Name of God

Baron Madsen had long seen Baron Claudesay's men and knew that there was a conflict between him and Krejci Monchik, but the old fox did not want to interfere in their affairs, and was even very happy to see this fight.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Baron Claudesay was gone that Madsen came to the door of the manor, pretending that nothing had happened, and reminded the farmer to pass on the news for him.

There was no need to communicate at all, Manda was standing less than a hundred steps away from him.

Lord Baron, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Manda held the injured Silva and greeted the Baron with a smile. He had made an appointment to meet Baron Madsen today, so he was not surprised by his arrival.

Seeing the mess around him and looking at Silva covered in bruises, Madsen pretended to be surprised and said: Mr. Monchik, what happened here? Is your housekeeper injured? Did you encounter a robber?

Although he was seriously injured, Silva did not lose his demeanor as a butler and still showed a polite smile: Lord Baron, this is not a big deal. I will ask someone to help you hold the horse.

Manda sighed and said: Baron Claudesay just came here. I don't know why he went crazy. He insisted on coming to my place to find his son.

If it were anyone else, I might not really understand, but it doesn't surprise me at all that Baron Claudesay did this. I really don't know how to describe him. Take your butler to treat the injury first. Don't worry about me. , this is not my first time here, I will go directly to the lobby to wait for you.

After settling Silva, Manda came to the lobby, exchanged a few words with Madsen, and then started to complain about Claude Sai, and the topic started.

Madsen came here to discuss business: Claudius is a madman, an ignorant and arrogant madman, but this madman has a good father-in-law, Lord Pedros, you have also met him, the man before this manor Master, he is the best businessman in Tieshan Town. He is richer than the Viscount. Guess what kind of business he does?

Manda thought for a moment and said, As far as I know, he has many iron kilns and more than a dozen blacksmith workshops.

Do you think you can earn so much wealth with that little business?

Manda was stunned, and this really stopped him asking: In Tieshan Town, what is more profitable than the iron business?

Madsen smiled and said, Have you ever bought salt at the market?

My butler bought it.

Do you know the price?

Didn't notice it.

You are a rich person and will not care about this small amount of money, but it is different for ordinary people. A farmer's family has to buy at least two silver coins of salt a year, which is just a small bag. It cannot be used in other places. Forty copper coins.”

The price of salt here is five times higher than outside? Manda really doesn’t know about this. Although the original owner has lived in Tieshan Town for twelve years, he has never had the experience of buying salt in his memory. This is not because of his special status. Manda's status in the family is similar to that of a servant, and he often goes to the market to buy things.

Based on what Madsen said just now, Manda had some inferences that Lord Pedros was in the business of selling salt.

Unfortunately, his inference was not accurate. Madsen took a sip of wine and said: He is not just in the business of selling salt. Pedros knows several big salt merchants in Blue Bay, and those people sell salt to him at low prices. , all the salt in Tieshan Town comes from him.

No wonder Baron Claudesay never buys salt. It turns out that his father-in-law has monopolized the entire salt market in Tieshan Town, so his son-in-law naturally has no shortage of salt.

But why don't other nobles do the salt business? In addition to Viscount Sorens, there are three barons and seven lords in Iron Mountain Town. Aren't they greedy for money?

Madsen shook his head helplessly and said: I said, Claude Sai is a madman. If we dare to steal his business, he dares to burn our house. He has four knights and some guards who have fought in the war. No one wants to offend those desperadoes.

Thinking of the fighting prowess of those guards, Manda couldn't help but want to laugh. The fact that these soldiers and crab generals could scare Madsen to such an extent showed that Madsen's strength was not very good.

No, even if these nobles were frightened, could it be that Viscount Sorens was also frightened?

This is impossible. A war broke out between Sorensi and the valley, and he lost a son because of it. Manda knew him to a certain extent.

In order to consolidate his rule, he has been trying his best to weaken the power of other nobles in Tieshan Town, but his own strength is not weak. He can form an army of hundreds of people at any time. With just one move, he can defeat Claude Sai He was on the same page with the two major Pedros families, so why did he have to endure the arrogance and tyranny of these two families?

Because it is profitable, Madsen said with a smile, Pedros will contribute half of the income from selling salt to the Viscount. He will make money no matter what, and the Viscount is too lazy to deal with those salt merchants.

You also want to make this money? Manda added a glass of wine to Madsen.

Madsen shook his head and said: It's not me, it's us. I spent more than a year becoming friends with several salt merchants. They will sell me cheap salt, but it is not convenient for me to do business in person. I don't want to do business with them. Claude started a conflict, I think you are a courageous person, there are a lot of gold coins waiting for us, let's see if you dare to reach out and get it.

Manda is very interested in this. Although he has more than 20,000 gold coins, there are still more than 150 young people waiting for him to train in the manor. The cost of entering and upgrading is very huge, and there is no way to sit back and have nothing.

Moreover, hollowing out his father and grandfather's property is something he is happy to do.

Manda nodded lightly: Some things have to be taken risks, but depending on how the interests are divided, the Viscount cannot be left behind.

That's right, Madsen said, thinking Manda was very good. We will each contribute half of the capital. The Viscount's 50% remains the same. I will give you 30% of the remaining 50% and you will take 20%. Is it a deal?

Twenty percent is a little less, Manda curled her lips, I am the one facing the madman.

Don't be so greedy, young man. I spent a lot of money to win over those salt merchants, Madsen put down his glass and said, If you are willing to agree, I will transport the salt in two days. We have to start as soon as possible. According to reports, I know that Pedros is also planning to transport a batch of salt to Iron Mountain Town. We must sell it cheaper than them and sell it faster than them, otherwise the vendors in the town will not buy our salt.

Manda thought for a long time and said: Transporting salt from Blue Bay to Tieshan Town, won't you encounter bandits during such a long journey?

I dare to do this business, so I am naturally prepared, Madsen said with a smile. I have already chosen the route. I will not encounter big thieves or bandits on the road. As for the small thieves, I will bring more guards when the time comes. That’s it, they don’t dare to take advantage of the caravan.”

Manda shook his head and said: We will not encounter bandits, but it is hard to say about Lord Pedros.

This is even more impossible. They have been in this business for decades, how could they...

Madsen suddenly stopped speaking. Seeing Manda's weird smile, he seemed to understand something: You mean, Pedros's caravan might have encountered an accident?

Manda nodded and said, I think your Lordship's luck has run out.

Madsen whispered: Claudius will send soldiers to accompany him all the way. Are you sure of this?

Manda smiled and said: As long as you are familiar with their route, I believe that bad luck will definitely find them.
