Throne of the North

Under Baron Hatton the population increased.

Through Baron Hatton's words about selling grain, Ryan knew that this guy must have collected a lot of slaves in the territory after last year.

He has been unable to make ends meet with food and has to rely on purchasing.

But this problem is also more serious for Ryan.

"Those chambers of commerce in the empire first arrive at Beifeng City, and then disperse things from Beifeng City to various counties. However, Yinchuan County may be able to retain a group in advance. The wealth of Viscount Hogg may be greater than that of Enter the Count."

Hatton said enviously, and then followed Ryan into the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.

The price they can buy food in Beifeng City is lower than that in Lingdu City, but transportation also requires funds, which will eventually be cheaper, but it will not quench their thirst.

The moment he entered the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, Ryan smelled a unique smell.

"liquor?"

Logically speaking, Beifeng Province should be in great need of wine, because it is too cold here, but making wine requires food, and Beifeng Province lacks food, so wine has become a luxury product in Beifeng Province.

When I met Viscount Miles in Lingdu City before, the Viscount never took out the wine.

When faced with the maid's recommendation, Ryan suppressed his thoughts.

"I just want food."

"I wonder how much food the Baron wants?"

The person in charge came to Ryan and asked with a smile.

Ryan looked at the woman who called herself Ossie and threw a gold coin into the opponent's abyss collar.

"How about at least ten thousand gold coins of food?"

Ossie's breathing quickened at this moment, and the smile on his face suddenly became flattering.

Don't look at the noble meetings in Beifeng City where tens or millions of gold coins are often given. In fact, ten thousand gold coins is already a very huge number.

If the level of the empire is not involved, the transactions of small nobles are usually based on dozens or hundreds of gold coins.

Like Ryan's previous transaction of several thousand gold coins in Lingdu City, it was considered a large amount.

After receiving a positive answer from Ossie, Ryan continued:

"How much does it cost to transport food to the tundra territory?"

"Tundra Territory?"

Obviously, Ossie, who is a nobleman from the North Wind Province, has also collected some information, and he was embarrassed when he heard the name of the Tundra Territory.

"Seven hundred, no, at least eight hundred gold coins."

She was even worried that the frozen soil baron would not be able to pay at all.

"I will give you nine hundred gold coins. The food I want must be sent to the Tundra Territory as quickly as possible."

In this regard, Ryan doesn't mind giving a little more tip, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that all the food delivered to the tundra territory is intact.

"Definitely."

The charm of gold coins made Ossie abandon his doubts, and the smile on his face turned sentimental.

"Don't worry."

Pulling his hand out of the softness, Ryan coughed and said:

"I also want some livestock. You can send them over when the time comes, including cows, horses, mules, chickens, ducks, goats, vegetables, etc. Then I will have someone tell you how much of each type of livestock you need."

Ossie's chest kept rising and falling, and the light of gold coins reflected in his eyes.

"I will definitely select the best batch for you and send it to the Tundra Territory. It will be delivered within two months at the latest."

"Well, then, do you have any slaves here?"

"some."

Ossie's whole body was almost pressed against Ryan's body.

The Imperial Chamber of Commerce naturally has its own slave house, not far from the Chamber of Commerce Street, and the people in charge here are no longer Ossie who judges people by their appearance, but a group of rough and strong men, headed by bronze knights.

Since the Imperial Chamber of Commerce goes north every year, not to mention the long journey and a lot of troubles, so even the slaves are carefully selected, not those sallow and skinny serfs.

"Lord Baron, the best batch of goods sent this year is here."

The bronze knight said with a smile on his face, and then the long whip in his hand hit the iron cage in front of him.

With a bang, a huge force shook, causing the beautiful slave girls in the iron cage to tremble and hug each other.

There is only a thin layer of gauze draped over these slave girls with pointed ears and emerald green pupils, which makes people feel itchy just looking at them.

"This is... an elf?"

Ryan was a little surprised. He looked at the bronze knight, who also smiled lewdly.

"Generally, these elves are not sold to the public. Viscount Landa originally ordered them, but Viscount Landa doesn't want them now."

Ryan knew why. Hanshan County had been ravaged all over, and Viscount Landa was also in a state of distress. He probably had no intention of spending money on these enjoyments.

That viscount is still very courageous.

"Look at the others."

Ryan said calmly.

"These are catwomen transported from other provinces. This year, the orcs went south, and many provinces in the northern part of the empire were invaded, causing the number of slaves to increase a lot."

"These catwomen were the first ones to be caught and sent directly to Beifeng Province."

"There is also this group here. It is said that they still have some noble blood, but it is no longer possible to verify it. Their families were originally wealthy, but now hehehe."

The slave leader said that he wanted to sell it at a high price.

Looking at these delicate slaves, Ryan almost got angry, but he asked in the end.

"Don't you have any others here?"

Looking at the nobles in front of him who were obviously young and vigorous, the knight nodded after doubt.

"Of course there are more, there are more than 200 slaves with trainee knights and 30 formal knights, I'll take you to see them."

After a circle, they were also slaves, but these with power on their bodies were much stricter, and everyone was locked with iron chains.

After seeing them, Ryan was not satisfied with any of them. This group of slaves obviously had a bad origin.

"What is the price of those female slaves?"

Ryan finally asked. He knew that if he wanted to buy slaves to go back to build roads and open up wasteland, he still had to find those nobles.

"Those four elves, 3,500 gold coins each."

"A catwoman is 300, and an ordinary female slave is 150 gold coins."

"They are so expensive, why don't you just rob them?"

"Robbing is not as fast as this."

In the end, Ryan could only save the five catwomen and five ordinary female slaves with regret. As for the elves, the risk was too great.

If the elves knew that some elves were bought as slaves, the frozen land would not be able to bear the revenge of the big elves.

It is said that there was a kingdom on the mainland that had fought a direct war with the elves because there were a large number of elf slaves in that kingdom.

If you are not strong enough, you can't do it secretly.
