Chapter 143 The value of red sand steel (210)
"That's great. You are indeed a role model for nobles. We should all learn from you."
The nobles would naturally not be stingy with praises after receiving benefits, and Chi Nan didn't care either. It’s really not certain who has the greater benefit in the end. In Chi Nan's view, those who are not valued are the most important.
Population is the most important group of people who create and consume wealth. Without this population, who can the nobles say they are noble?
"By the way, Mr. Chi Nan, there are still those flours. Can we also get the right to sell them?"
Recently, they have watched the big nobles on the front line buy flour, and then sell it in large quantities to other provinces, and get a large amount of golden dragons. This really makes them jealous, but they have no share.
Chi Nan said calmly: "Of course, we are the lords of Remas. I will only sell the flour to us in the territory of Remas. Now we need other people to drive away the wild orcs for us." , give them a little benefit first. After that, these shares will be yours.
"They advertised our flour in advance. Now people in many territories across the Rusiyala Kingdom know about flour, a new food. By then, our business will be even better."
The young noble from before said: "When Remas recovers, don't cut off their flour source directly, just reduce the sales volume. Otherwise, we will offend these big nobles."
Many of those who benefited from the front line were big nobles, and they were not something they could afford to offend. At that time, Chi Nan directly cut off the source of flour, but they were able to obtain it. Those big nobles not only resented Chi Nan, but also resented them. There is nothing they can do about Chi Nan, but that is not necessarily the case for them.
Many nobles suddenly calmed down and nodded: "Yes, yes, we can't offend them."
Chi Nan was also shocked. He actually ignored this. He thought he was smart in vain and made such a small mistake. "Of course, they are here to help us Remas after all. I will not abandon them directly."
Now everyone felt relieved. Chi Nan quickly changed the topic: "There is another business. We have a special iron bark tree here that can produce a red metal. I call them red sand steel. The various properties of red sand steel are far superior to ordinary metals. It’s even close to magic metal, that’s the data.”
Chi Nan waved his hand, and the attendants who had prepared the forms quickly distributed them to everyone. "These nasty parchments are so expensive and hard to use. We must make the best paper possible."
Chi Nan looked at the parchment in his hand, feeling depressed in his heart. The kind of paper used to write noble documents was good, but unfortunately it was a magical material and could not be used casually.
Looking at the form, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter: "It turns out to be this kind of metal. Just tell me, how could that idiot Farah get such a good metal by himself? He even said he dug it out by himself."
"What? Farah also has this kind of red sand steel?" Chi Nan said with narrowed eyes.
Mocha nodded: "Yes, I know some inside information. It seems that Farah gave Count Longgen a small tree some time ago. This small tree can absorb iron ore and condense a red metal."
"I was a little surprised at first, but now I understand, it turns out that you cultivated it. The armor on your soldiers is made of this metal. The various properties of this metal are very high, but because the output is too small, So few people know about it. Because of this incident, Earl Longgen did not punish Baron Farah too much. He is still the lord of Huangshaling. "
Chi Nan nodded: "Yes, two ironbark trees were indeed stolen from our Hongsha Ridge some time ago. I didn't know who did it at first, but I didn't expect it to be this scumbag again."
It's a pity that there is no such thing as patent protection law in this world. Even if this kind of thing breaks out, it will be like losing two saplings at most, which is not a big deal at all.
Chi Nan felt lucky that he quickly blocked the hole. The ironbark tree was not so easy to plant.
"Don't worry, the iron bark tree was specially improved by me. Although it is easy to transplant, it is very difficult to reproduce and the growth rate is not very fast. Therefore, even if Huangshaling gets two iron bark trees, it will be difficult to produce this metal in large quantities. . Our internal price for this metal can be set at the same level as the market price of ordinary iron ingots.”
Chi Nan is talking about the market price, which is several times more expensive than the wholesale price. The other nobles didn't say anything. The price was too cheap for the performance of this metal.
But Mocha said: "That's good, we Remas can add a high-level item. But since ironbark trees like yours are difficult to reproduce and grow up, how about selling the finished trees directly? . After all, you are not the only place with iron ore. If you keep it in your hands, it will easily attract others' attention. "
Chi Nan narrowed his eyes: "That's true, but if we sell it in large quantities, the price of our red sand steel will be affected."
"It doesn't take much, just sell it to us, the local lords of Red Sand Ridge. Only those who join our business alliance are eligible to buy it. Others will let them watch. We, the Remas nobles, are not afraid of them."
"Hehe, you don't have to be surprised. There are two large iron mines in Mocha's territory. He wants to develop himself." The noble with sparkling eyes reminded him.
Chi Nan understood. So that's the case: "Hahaha, don't worry. If it's just our own friends, there's no problem. But this iron bark tree is different from other plants. It grows too slowly and it's not easy to stimulate it, so the price can't be too low for you. One iron bark tree costs at least 120 gold dragons."
Chi Nan gave a very high price. But it's not too high. The output of red sand steel produced by a tree is very large. One hundred and twenty gold dragons can be earned back in two or three years at most.
All the gold coins earned afterwards are his own. Mocha calculated this price in his mind and found that it was already very generous. "Okay, this price, but this is our internal price."
Chi Nan said as a matter of course: "Of course, if other people want to buy it, at least 500 gold dragons per tree." At the same time, Chi Nan also had a little grudge against Count Longgen in his heart. He didn't expect that Farah was still the lord next door to him.
