Chapter 224: Huge compensation, expansion of Eagle Chamber of Commerce

Chapter 224 Huge compensation, expansion of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce

 In the study.

"how come?"

Marquis Spencer suddenly stood up, his pupils widened with an expression of disbelief, and his eyes were filled with blood at this moment.

  Panic and a touch of fear inevitably appeared in his mind.

Zhaparov Spencer is the only Sky Knight of their Spencer family. It is also because of the existence of Zhaparov Spencer that their family can obtain the huge benefits they have today and become one of the powerful marquises.

 Without the loss of Zhaparov Spencer, the Spencer family can only be said to be an ordinary marquis family.

 “Father!”

The figure was a little trembling, and his heart couldn't calm down at all. At this moment, he spoke subconsciously, and he didn't know how to continue the words.

 “Hoo!”

"what did they say?"

 “In other words, what did they ask for?”

The figure moved back and forth, bloodshot eyes filling Marquis Spencer's eyes. Then he looked at the knight and spoke again with a trembling voice.

"The Dressrosa family needs us to pay the 300,000 gold coins as compensation for Moravi's invasion of the children of Dressrosa, and the 200,000 gold coins that my grandfather paid for destroying the town of Dressrosa. In addition to In addition, we, the Spencer family, will hand over Qinghai Lake to them.”

The figure looked at his father, took a deep breath, and then transmitted the information from the Dressrosa family.

"bump!"

"impossible!"

“Damn it, are they crazy? Why don’t they grab half a million gold coins?”

“It’s simply impossible to have Qinghai Lake.”

Marquis Spencer's eyes became more and more blood-red, his pupils widened instantly, and a roaring voice sounded.

Facing his father’s roar, the figure opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

 It was not until a moment later that Marquis Spencer sat down on the chair.

 “Haru, what should we do!”

 Marquis Spencer’s words were filled with despair.

 “Father.”

 “We have no choice.”

“Grandfather is in their hands. If we don’t give them these, the kingdom’s war will last less than two years, and our family’s current interests will not be protected.”

The figure looked at his father and smiled bitterly.

 His words did not answer.

 However, such information is actually equivalent to an answer.

 As he said, the Spencer family has no choice at this moment.

Either pay a ransom or wait for heavy losses in the kingdom's war.

 Even then, they will not even be able to control their existing interests.

 In comparison, the loss of half a million gold coins and the handover of Qinghai Lake are undoubtedly much smaller.

 Listening to his son's words, Marquis Spencer opened his mouth, but at this moment he didn't know what to say.

He naturally understood what his son said, or in other words, he had already thought of it when he asked about it.

But the problem is that half a million gold coins were accumulated by the Spencer family in ten years, and they still didn't eat or drink. In fact, it took hundreds of years to accumulate so many gold coins.

 Not to mention Qinghai Lake, which is a place where the family can continue to make profits.

 That is more than 30,000 gold coins every year, and it is a continuous gold coin income.

 He was really not willing to hand it over like this.

 But it was clear that no matter whether he was willing or not, he had no choice at this moment.

 Marquis Spencer finally sighed and made a decision.

 Sent envoys to the Dressrosa family for negotiations.

 This negotiation, including the time to go, took almost half a month. In the end, the Dressrosa family and the Spencer family finally reached an agreement.

The Spencer family paid 500,000 gold coins as compensation for this attack on the Dressrosa family, of which 300,000 gold coins were used for the attack on the Eagle Territory, and the other 200,000 were used for the town of Dressrosa. Compensation for damages.

In addition, the Spencer family handed over Qinghai Lake, the boundary of the Western Moon Province, to Dressrosa for management, and no longer interfered with the management of Qinghai Lake. However, the Dressrosa family needed to give the Spencer family annual Provided ten thousand pounds of green salt.

 Such conditions are almost the same as those proposed by the Dressrosa family.

 The only extra thing is 10,000 pounds of green salt, but this is actually better than nothing.

Of course this is normal. Zhaparov Spencer is in the hands of Dressrosa, and the Spencer family is actually not qualified to negotiate at all.

 Being able to give some choices is considered as Count Engel giving some face.

 Otherwise, if you bite me to death and don’t agree to anything, the Spencer family will have to agree.

 half a month later.

One fleet after another arrived at the town of Dressrosa, and boxes of gold coins were transported to the town of Dressrosa, including a lot of supplies.

 There are naturally not that many gold cards.

 Similarly, there are not that many gold coins.

 The rest can only be settled with materials.

 This is not a bad thing for the Dressrosa family.

 If you want to expand the strength of your family, you need to purchase some supplies. It is very good to obtain them directly at this moment.

 Above the castle.

 Looking at the motorcades, Count Engel couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

“Charlie, how much has arrived in Dressrosa so far?”

Count Engel opened his mouth and asked Charlie next to him.

"Master, currently nineteen nobles have sent 270,000 gold coins. The Spencer family has sent a total of 270,000 gold coins. In addition, various materials are worth more than 100,000. Others are still on the way. In the past few days, They should be able to arrive gradually.”

Steward Charlie spoke respectfully, with a touch of excitement in his expression at this moment.

This is worth nearly 600,000 gold coins. For the Dressrosa family, it is almost more than the total income of twenty years.

“Exchange the 200,000 gold coins sent by the nineteen nobles into gold cards, and ask people to send them to Thor. We also select other materials and send half of them to the same.”

“In addition, send someone to the royal capital to inform Carlo and see if we can apply for a high-level knight’s breathing method from His Majesty the King.”

After pondering for a moment, Count Engel immediately began to give instructions.

"yes!"

Butler Charlie was a little shocked, but he quickly responded.

 Soon, the Dressrosa family began to take action. A few days later, powerful groups of troops marched towards the Northland Province.

 On the third day after the troops set out.

There is also a knight group setting off from Pat City.

Luppy Dressrosa, as the commander-in-chief, led his knights towards the north.

 After this month, Lubi felt like he was in a dream.

First, news came from his uncle, who broke through to the Sky Knights and defeated Zhaparov Spencer. Then the Pat family actually allowed him to lead the knights to the north.

Although Marquis Pat had promised him before that he could be ennobled as a noble for his meritorious service in the kingdom's war.

 But it was a kingdom war.

At this moment, he actually agreed to go to the north and lead his own knights.

 This means that as long as he can obtain enough merit points in the north, he can get the opportunity to be canonized as a baron before the kingdom war.

Different from wandering knights and family knights, vassal knights like them are not qualified to become pioneer knights unless they leave the vassal family, but this is completely not allowed by the kingdom.

 In other words, if he wants to become a noble, he can only do so through meritorious service.

 He was somewhat looking forward to the Kingdom War, but also a little worried. He didn’t know whether Marquis Pat would allow it.

 But now there is no need at all.

 As thoughts flowed, Ruby Dressrosa thought of her uncle again.

And the cousin Tordressrosa whom I met in Pat City that day.

“I wonder how Thor is doing?”

  "And father, he probably hasn't settled down yet!"

 “It’s time to go and have a look!”

 Libi spoke with a smile, and he couldn't help but look expectant.

A few months ago, he asked his father to take his son to the Northland Province. He originally thought that this trip would take who knows how long, but he did not expect that he would be able to get there so quickly.

"Walk!"

 “Go at full speed!”

The words rang out, and the next moment, the roar of horse hooves resounded on the road.

 Luppy Dressrosa quickly caught up with Dressrosa's convoy, and soon the two merged into one, heading towards the Northland Province.

 At this moment, the Northland Province.

Thor still doesn’t know what happened to his family.

 The kingdom’s information did not spread so quickly, at least not so quickly among the nobles.

 This period of time, after the settlement of the Northern Alliance matters.

 His entire mind is focused on the expansion of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

 The Northern Alliance was resolved. The three noble heirs, including the top noble heir who was preparing to arrive in the Northland Province, did not choose to arrive again. The expansion of the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce was no longer a problem.

Even because of the frontal defeat of the Northern Alliance, the reputation of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce can be said to have completely spread.

 Let the Eagle Chamber of Commerce take action more smoothly.

In just over a month, the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce has expanded to most of the western areas, and at the same time, a large number of pioneering lords in the north and east have been included.

 At this speed, perhaps within half a year at most, the entire Northland Province will be completely included.

By then, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will not only be able to spread to other provinces, but may also be able to expand to other kingdoms, such as the neighboring Purple Flower Kingdom.

 Compared to the Tulip Kingdom, the Purple Flower Kingdom is undoubtedly more prosperous and has more resources.

If the Eagle Chamber of Commerce can open up the trade route to the Purple Flower Kingdom, the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce will truly grow and become the top chamber of commerce in the entire Tulip Kingdom.

 Of course it is still too early to reach this point.

 Firstly, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce currently does not even have control over the northern border, and secondly, the current Eagle Chamber of Commerce is not strong enough.

At present, the strength of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce is quite strong in the Northland Province. Even Marquis Lehman cannot match it, but it is only in the Northland Province.

  It is nothing in the kingdom.

 Let alone the Tulip Kingdom.

Even if they are both in the north, the Northland Province of the Purple Flower Kingdom is much more powerful than the Northland Province of the Tulip Kingdom.

For example, Sky Knights are completely invisible in the Tulip Northern Province. However, the Northern Province of the Purple Flower Kingdom, where the original core defense line of the Orc tribe is located, has many, and the number of Earth Knights is even greater. .

 In the study.

 Illuminated by an oil lamp.

Thor was sitting at his desk, sorting out various matters that had come over the past month.

A large number of matters in the Eagle Territory are basically handled by Joseph, and the affairs of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce are also handled by Lajos, but they still need to be summarized to him.

Thor still strictly controls some important matters.

In this world where extraordinary power is combined into one body, although it is difficult for accidents to occur, Thor does not want any problems to occur.

“At the current rate, the income from gold coins should be able to increase again next month.”

“However, the population of the Northland Province is still too small and needs further expansion. I wonder how Lajos has arranged it?”

Muttering to himself, Thor couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

 During this period, while the Eagle Chamber of Commerce was expanding, he did not forget to build the territory.

 For territory construction to reach a certain level, the number of people is essential.

 So far, the population of the Northland Province is still too small. Even with the addition of dozens of nobles, it is still not enough.

 So a few months ago, Thor asked Lajos Assad to negotiate with the Assad family to form a new trade route.

 The purpose was to purchase a large number of slaves.

Although Marquis Lehman also has many slaves.

 But firstly, the quantity may not be enough, and secondly, the price is too expensive.

At this moment, since Marquis Lehman has lost control of the Northland Province and his own strength is sufficient, he naturally needs to get involved in this industry.

His previous emancipation of slaves did not mean that he was against slaves.

 As the transaction with the lowest transaction cost and the highest value among all transactions, everyone will be excited.

 The slave trade alone can give Marquis Lehman more than 100,000 gold coins every year.

 Whether it’s profit or simply construction, Thor is unlikely to give up.

 It is not that easy to just build a channel for the slave trade.

 Forget about him, even the Dressrosa family currently does not have the ability to participate. Currently, among the count families, only the Assad family is eligible to participate, or in other words, only the Assad family has participated.
