Black Iron Crown

Chapter 223: Leave

Reiner was a little speechless about Sir Horn's heroic behavior, but there was no way he had to make money. Even if he is not particularly short of money now, it is always good to reserve more.

"I only have 20 tons of steel right now. This is all my reserves in the past three months!" Rainer looked at Sir Horn and said. He admired the speed at which the empire lords consumed steel, and he was not the lords of the country. These steels are only needed by the direct lords of the royal family of knowledge. Thirty tons are not enough for them at this stage?

But Reiner was happy about it, and it would be great if this situation can continue.

After the two reached an agreement, Sir Horn said excitedly to Rainer: "Ah, yes, you told me before that there are four hundred full-body chain armors to sell, right? Isn't there no plan to change now?"

Rainer nodded when he heard it. There were indeed a lot of spoils seized from Count Jebo before. After some simple repairs, it became a good armor.

"Indeed, I haven't found a buyer for which batch of armors, but the quantity may not be as large as before, because some of them have been worn by my soldiers, and now I only have two hundred sets to buy for you! "Liner said with a wry smile on his face.

Sir Horn froze for a moment, and then said with an unnatural expression: "Well, I want all these two hundred armors, too. At what price do you hope to sell them to me?"

Sir Horn looked directly into Lena's eyes, putting him a lot of pressure.

In his opinion, Rainer had just been entrusted as an earl, wouldn't it be necessary to show it in front of the royal family and lower the price of this batch of armor?

However, what he didn't expect was that Reiner didn't eat his set. He smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Ten gold coins in each set! These are all six-ring buckles. The price is very fair!"

Looking at Renner's face, Sir Horn couldn't help but twitch his cheeks slightly. He didn't expect Renner to be so stingy and stingy.

In his opinion, Rainer, who was given the title of earl by the royal family, should be grateful to give this batch of armor to him.

Rainer looked at Sir Horn in a little astonishment and couldn't help but secretly taunted him. It was true that he had received the title of earl, but is there any actual benefit besides this title?

not at all! The title of the Earl of the Northern Territory is indeed very noble, but the premise is that he can unify the entire Northern Territory, so as to make this title worthy of its name. You give me an airdrop check and I will provide you with steel and iron for free. armor? How old am I to do this kind of thing?

"I'm really sorry Sir Horn, I can't do anything about it. I am full of gratitude and respect for the royal family, but I still have to live! As you can see, the food and wealth produced by my larger territory are not There are so many soldiers and knights to support so many soldiers and knights. If I can’t make any more money, I’m afraid I’ll be bankrupt! You really have to be considerate of me!” Lena said with an innocent expression on his face. It is simply sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

Listening to Rainer’s words, Sir Horn did hesitate a bit. He knew that Rainer’s subordinates had very large and elite soldiers. Obviously, these soldiers could not be dismissed with just a few rations. After looking at it, there was almost no decoration. For the furnished castle, he couldn't help but believe what Rainer said.

He knew that Leiner was talking nonsense. The cost of the system soldiers is indeed not small, but it only costs more than 50 gold coins per month, although for many territories this is already a very scary figure. , But it's actually not as expensive as the regular army of the royal family.

He sighed helplessly and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Sir Horn spread his hands and said, "Well, then, buy it at the price of ten gold coins, so can you lower the price of steel? "

No way, the imperial royal family and the other group of lords have slackened their armed forces because they have been in peace for many years.

Except for a few sweeps and sweeps, the empire hasn't had a war for a long time.

The army under these lords naturally became a tool for oppressing the people, and their combat effectiveness was diminished again and again.

And without frequent wars, of course, some of these lords were short-sighted, unable to see the hidden dangers within the empire, and were initially reluctant to spend money on the army, but used it for their own spending.

Although the eight thousand regular troops maintained by the royal family and the seven hundred knights, two thousand archers and two hundred heavy cavalry under their command are quite large in combat effectiveness, it is inevitable that some soldiers will still become moths in the peaceful era.

For the 8,000 regular army maintained by the royal family, almost one-third of the people have been completely out of training. Originally rising in the north, one-third of the royal army that can easily maneuver a full-body chain armor has no one. Armor out.

The royal family only recently discovered such a situation and wanted to remedy it, but found that the supply of steel had been completely cut off by Earl Zhebo, so Rainer was able to sell it at such a high price so easily before.

Even now, the empire lords have obtained steel and part of the armor from Rainer, and there is at least a gap in all kinds of weapons and equipment.

After judging this in his heart, Rainer nodded, or the profit of selling armor is relatively high, and steel is still a small head after all.

"Yes, I can lower the price per ton to five gold coins, what do you think?" Leiner said hypocritically.

What does this mean? Reiner knew that the main purpose of his visit this time was to buy steel ~ lightnovelpub.net~ Being able to buy steel at the price of arable land is far more important than buying armor at a low price, and it seems that the credit is greater.

Even if two gold coins are lowered, what's the point? Two hundred sets of full-body chain armor, all of which were pulled from the enemy's body, at no cost at all. One change of hands is two thousand gold coins, so is 40 gold coins cheaper?

Seeing Rainer's eyes full of smiles, Sir Horn laughed with satisfaction, and began to chat with Rainer.

It wasn't his money anyway, it was the most important thing to get this credit.

Soon, Rainer ordered the slaves near the mine to immediately put down their work and help Sir Horn load the steel into the truck.

After dealing with the trivial matters on Sir Horn's side, the lords who gathered in Fort Morland left the castle and rushed to their territory. They were about to gather their troops and wait for Rainer's call.

At the same time, the diplomats sent by Sir Cod and Logan's spies were also active among the lords on the side of Count Jebo.
