Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

Otherwise, how could he not have heard of such a big change in Qingyuan Town?

As soon as Gejier left Qingyuan Town, he encountered a huge convoy coming from Jinyuan City.

This is the team that came to collect taxes and grains this year, and among them, Gezier also saw a familiar face, the head of the auction house, Feroz!

Chapter 95 Second trade, military orders!

Feroze was also a little surprised by Girgil's appearance after meeting him.

After the two simply nodded to say hello, they passed by each other.

As for Gudern, he had just come out of the living room and was about to go to the study to handle some matters. Before his butt was warm, he received another notification from Old Joseph.

Master, the caravan and food collection team from Jinyuan City have arrived. Feroz, Kroger and others have also arrived in the living room.

Gudern had already known about the arrival of the caravan and the food collection team today.

The caravans in Jinyuan City made new trading times last time, and the original trading time of once a month became once every half month.

At the same time, some urgently needed items and coins were also sent to Qingyuan Town. The date of the food collection team was fixed, so it was not surprising to come together.

Putting down his quill, Gudern immediately went to the living room to meet a few people.

Arriving at the living room, not only Kroger and Feroz were present, but there was also a strange face wearing an imperial military uniform.

Gudern briefly greeted the two old acquaintances, and then asked about the identity of the third person.

Who is this?

He is the military procurement officer sent by the higher-ups, Colonel Walsh.

Feroz, as a semi-official, stepped forward to introduce Gudern.

Lord Gudern. After being introduced, Walsh greeted Gudern with a kind nod.

Hello, Colonel Walsh.

Out of respect for the other person's identity, Gooden also greeted him out loud.

Colonel Walsh's mission will be discussed in detail with you alone after we finish talking about it. Let's deal with the caravan and food collection first.

good.

There was already a transaction experience between the two parties. They did not care about some unnecessary etiquette and went directly to the topic to start the arrangement.

I have arranged for Old Joseph to take charge of the food collection work. Also, what is the amount of this year's tax collection, Mr. Kroger?

Gudern is still clear about the principle of giving priority to official matters, and he will deal with tax matters first.

Kroger was also ready and handed a prepared document to Gooden.

Excluding the tax debt of 826 gold and 69 silver coins in the previous three years, the amount that needs to be paid this year is 162 gold and 45 silver coins.

Gooden no longer needs to pay the taxes accumulated in the previous three years. He only needs to make up this year's taxes now.

Gooden had also revealed the news to Kroger that Matthews had been intercepted.

Regarding this news and the new evidence obtained, Kroger went back to the tax office of the Governor's Mansion overnight with a copy of the evidence.

When he returned, he also brought a document suspending previous years' taxes, which was engraved with the signature and seal of the governor-general of the Northern Governor's Mansion.

This can also show that the incident of the Charleson family has received enough attention from powerful people at the top.

Okay, after I arrange the caravan's trade, I will count the taxes.

Now, Gudern doesn't have that much money in his small treasury. If he wants to make up for it, he has to get some from the proceeds from this trade.

Kroger also knew this, and after nodding, he waited silently for Gudern to finish the business conversation.

Mr. Feroze, now let's talk about the gains from this trade.

Okay, this time the fine salt, crystal sugar, and pure water have earned a total of 2,462 gold and 54 silver coins. After deducting the labor fee of 10%, there are still 2,216 gold left.

In addition, there are 218 people coming under this recruitment order. We will collect a small change and give you 2,210 gold.

The change that Feroz mentioned was only six gold coins, but based on the price on the recruitment order, it would cost about ten gold coins.

Saving so much this time is probably enough for the auction house to eat from the labor fees.

After all, it is just a sales outlet. With some labor and saliva, you can earn more than 200 gold coins in less than four or five days. Who wouldn't be happy about such a good thing?

But what Gudern also noticed was that in addition to the fixed price of two thousand gold coins, the auction of pure water actually made more than four hundred and sixty gold coins.

You must know that only eight bottles were auctioned. On average, a bottle of vodka pure water costs a full fifty-seven gold coins!

It seems that the world seems to have a unique love for high-strength distilled spirits.

In addition, the exchange has sent people to arrange the copper ingots, coal and some crop seeds that meet the requirements. It is expected that they will be sent together for the next transaction.

Okay, I'm sorry to bother you.

This transaction is mainly to gather a wave of funds to purchase materials. Gudern will now shift his focus from food and ore to other goals.

For example, copper ingots are used to make wires, and coal is used to smelt carbon steel on a large scale and extract some elements.

The seeds that meet the requirements are rice from the Redro Empire in the south, rubber trees from the Dawn Forest in the west, and various fruit tree seeds that meet his requirements, etc.

Apart from the names, the various items and elements in this world are not the same as those on Blue Star. Of course, except for various fantasy items and biological races.

As a person who has farming engraved in his DNA, Gooden plans to pass on this fine tradition.

After all, with a territory close to 10,000 square kilometers, it would be a pity to leave it abandoned.

And if it weren't for the fact that the Flame Land on the north side of the Desolate Land was difficult to reach, Gudern would have wanted someone to collect some oil for him.

After completing the process of reporting the transaction and collecting money, the two simply finalized the details of the next business transaction.

According to the previous proposal, this time Feroz would return with a thousand pounds of fine salt and a thousand pounds of crystal sugar for sale.

The transaction amount of this batch reached a full four thousand gold, but Gooden could predict that it would take at least one to two months for this batch of goods to be fully digested.

The first batch of goods sold out quickly, all due to the high purity of quality and the large quantity and low price, which allowed many people who could barely reach the threshold to have a taste.

Of course, there are also many scammers who buy them at low prices and then sell them at higher prices in other cities.

Gudern had already anticipated this situation, so he discussed it with the people at the trading house when selling it. If he wanted to buy it, he would have to show tokens such as family certificates or chamber of commerce certificates.

And a family can only buy twenty pounds of each item, and will not sell any more, not even if the price is increased.

In this way, even if they sell the goods at a high price, the quantity they can sell is not large, and there are other people with the same idea competing for the market, making it difficult for the price to rise to a particularly high position.

At the same time, when the second batch of salt and sugar enters the market, if you want to sell the goods, you can only go further to find a market.

When these people brought high-quality salt and candy to various parts of the empire to sell, Qingyuan Town's reputation began here for Gudern.

Although they may have come looking for the location of Jinyuan City, by that time, the name of Qingyuan Town will be even louder, thus attracting people here to do business in Qingyuan Town.

A plan that kills two birds with one stone is not just about immediate benefits.

After the matters on both sides were settled, Gudern had not forgotten the military procurement officer sent by the military.

Colonel Walsh, I have kept you waiting for a long time. We can now talk about your matter.

Walsh, who was sitting silently listening to Gooden's handling of affairs, was also secretly analyzing Gooden's way of handling affairs in his mind, so as to gain some advantages in the subsequent negotiations.

But now that Gudern went straight to the point, Walsh did not beat around the bush and directly revealed his purpose of coming.

Lord Gudern, the manganese steel in your hand has extremely superior properties. The imperial military is extremely interested in the manganese steel in your hand, so I have been sent to contact you to see if there is any cooperation between us. possible.

Cooperation? Gudern was a little surprised when he heard the word. Could it be that the imperial military wanted to get the method of refining manganese steel from him?

Yes, the upper echelons of the military are interested in manganese steel, so they want to purchase a batch of manganese steel. The quantity purchased ranges from a few thousand gold to a maximum of 30,000 gold coins.

If Lord Gudern is interested in this cooperation, I will ask some questions about manganese steel to determine what level of orders you can get.

Listening to this familiar operation method, Gudern's eyes suddenly showed a hint of confusion.

Why is this so damn familiar? It seems like I have used this trick not long ago?

But he quickly recovered and nodded.

Of course I'm interested. If you have any questions about manganese steel, as long as they don't involve the ratio of material formulas, I can answer them truthfully for you.

Okay, I won't ask about sensitive questions like the formula. The key question is the production of manganese steel. How much manganese steel can be produced in a month?

If enough materials are available, the output can be around 500 pounds a day, which means 15,000 pounds a month.

However, due to the recent turmoil on the border, it is difficult to purchase the main materials of iron ore and finished iron. In addition, there are restrictions on the mining volume of many core materials, and there will be some restrictions on production. However, the production volume of seven to eight thousand pounds There’s still no problem.”

After some thought and calculation, Gooden gave a conservative number that is currently purely hand-refined.

There is also a smelter with a refining output, but Gudern did not include it.

The construction of the smelting plant is about to reach the final critical moment. If a smelting plant appears, then 30,000 pounds a day will not be a problem.

However, the main job of the smelting plant at that time was to smelt carbon steel, not manganese steel, so a second plant had to be built to achieve this production efficiency.

There was a hint of surprise on Walsh's face at the amount of production Gooden was talking about.

He originally thought that the output of this metal could exceed one or two thousand pounds a month, but he did not expect that the output far exceeded his expectations.

Chapter 96 Ten Thousand Gold Order, Snow Valley Refugees

Of course, for the imperial military, the more manganese steel the better.

The performance and weight of this special metal are far superior to those of equivalent steel materials.

Although the current price is slightly expensive, it does not mean that it is a large purchase price. Therefore, the upper levels of the military want to contact and test the bottom price of manganese steel.

After reacting, Walsh quickly asked: If there is enough material, how much quota can you sell?

Well, if I can ensure enough materials, I can provide half of the production quota every month.

half?

That's about seven to eight thousand pounds of manganese steel, which translates to 3.1 to 3.6 tons.

Regarding this number, the joy in Walsh's eyes became even more obvious.

But next he wants to ask the most critical question, the lowest cost price.

According to the purchase standard of Jinyuan City Trading House, which is eight gold per pound, this price is still too expensive for the equipment of elite troops.

Lord Gudern, manganese steel comes from your territory. I think you must be very aware of its value. The imperial military wants to purchase a large number of them to equip soldiers.
