Listening to Reiner’s high-sounding words, Sir Horn couldn’t help but twitched his face, but he was not worried. Not only did the Northern Territory produce iron ore with the other party, if his asking price was too high, I believe others would be loyal to it. The lords of the royal family are also happy to sell steel.

"Five gold coins a ton, Baron Rainer, I believe this is much higher than your previous prices!"

Sir Horn gave a price he thought was more appropriate, five gold coins per ton. Although this was much higher than the ordinary purchase price in the Northern Territory, it was nothing at all within the empire.

To create a full-body chain armor, even if you count the loss, at most 50 kilograms of steel can be used, and a meal is 1,000 kilograms, which is enough to create 20 sets of armor. The price of 20 sets of armor is naturally the price of the mainland of the empire. It doesn't need to be much, don't even think about it without one hundred and fifty gold coins.

And if the raw material steel is purchased directly, the price will be much lower.

Hearing this, Rainer said with a bitter expression: "Sir Horn, please weigh me! I just suffered such a big loss. At your price, I can't even get my capital back! Absentees The salary is more than that, I don’t think the price is right!"

Sir Horn didn't believe Rainer's words at all. He wasn't the inexorable strawbags in the empire who had only been entrusted to aristocrats in recent years, and wandered in the banquet of flowers all day long.

He is a traditional nobleman. His father is a royalist earl. Although his family strength is not in the rankings, he is also a relatively important supporter of the royal family. Since he is not a family heir, he entered the royal guard to make a living.

He was canonized as a knight by his majesty the Emperor for his martial arts practiced in his family. It is precisely because his family also has a territory, so he knows the price of manpower very well.

Perhaps Reiner will give these miners some salary, but it will never be too high, and it is also reasonable to let them work for themselves directly for free.

He knew that this was just an excuse for Reiner, for nothing more than to increase the price of steel.

He chuckled in his heart, but there was no smile on the surface: "I understand you, Baron Rainer, but now the royal family's situation is also very urgent! Lords everywhere are watching, and even sporadic rebellions have appeared. Up!"

"Just for the royal family! Six gold coins per ton! After all, you are also the descendant of Molander!" Sir Horn persuaded painfully.

"Ten! As long as ten, I will buy you steel! You know, I have a lot of steel, and the only lord who can give you such a large amount of steel in the entire Northern Territory is me!" Rainer thought aloud. Fan, with a struggling expression on his face, said in a heartbroken tone.

Sir Horn is a bit speechless, this is clearly asking the price to pay back! And his expression is not much different from the actor.

"This is too much, Baron Rainer, the royal family can't afford it! After all, the royal family also has the army and a lot of other expenses, and the price for you is quite good!"

Rainer didn't speak, just watched coldly as Sir Horn was fidgeting as he watched him.

In the end, he finally gave in: "Okay, Baron Rainer, you won, what a shrewd man! Seven gold coins, if this is already the highest price of steel, if it is higher, then I don’t have to buy it. At that time, I may need to talk to other lords!"

Sir Horn actually didn’t want to find someone else, but after all, the steel production and storage in the entire northern territory are in Lener’s hands. Three of the five territories have iron ore. From this we can tell what he will have. Storage capacity.

The other lords who will sell steel to the royal family are small lords. The output and storage of steel are bound to be small, and the lords of Earl Zerbo will inevitably not sell steel to him, so he would rather buy Lai at a higher price. Na’s steel is unwilling to buy other people’s.

He had previously communicated with the other lords that he wanted to buy steel, purely because he wanted to suppress the price at Renner through such a move, letting him know that he was not the only choice.

But obviously, this approach was not very successful.

Hearing that, Rainer nodded helplessly. Seven gold coins are not unacceptable. Under the mining of the miners, the three iron mines in his territory can produce about 30 tons of steel each year. It used to be 270 gold coins per year.

This is a large amount of stable income. Although I made a lot of money from selling armor, it was still a one-shot deal, not as stable as this one.

The gap between the rich and the poor exists at all times. A mere twenty gold coins may force the lord to sell his territory. However, for some large merchants and major lords in the mainland, the cost of a month may be only this figure.

Reiner hates this difference between the rich and the poor. The reason is simple, because he is one of the poor. His idea is easy to explain, just two words, hatred of the rich!

After reaching an agreement, Sir Horn took Fid out of the room. During this period, only Lena and Horn were talking, and the others were silent.

I glanced at the people around me with a smile, and after looking at each other for a while~lightnovelpub.net~ everyone couldn't help laughing. The wealth of the territory is still very happy, which means it will be more and more in the future. The stronger.

At this moment, the door of the study was knocked.

"Bang Bang, Bang Bang"

There were three polite knocks on the door, followed by Logan's voice: "My Lord Baron! Can I go in now? I have something very important to report to you!"

Logan is a very measured person. Not only is he very thoughtful, but he can't fault his behavior and manners. This can be seen from this very standardized knock on the door.

Lena frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "Could it be that what happened in the past few days when I was away?"

Thinking in his heart, but not idle, he said to Logan outside the door: "Come in!"

Logan walked into the room and saw his brows frown tightly, and his slightly yellow eyebrows were about to squeeze together, looking very distorted.

"What's the matter? Logan?" Rainer asked curiously.

"It's such a baron!" Logan opened the parchment in his hand, glanced at it, and then handed it to Rainer. "On the third day after you left, a group of robbers from the east entered your territory. !"

"They do nothing but do nothing, but the number is small. After looting the food of some villagers, they will leave and will not harm the villagers."

"Because of the emptiness of the castle's troops, I asked the lady for instructions and chose to ignore it for the time being, and wait until you come back, Lord Baron, but just now, I received a report again that they once again plundered a village and took two away. A little lamb! The robbed villagers have already come outside the castle. They hope to get the protection of Lord Baron and take those two lambs back!"
