Chapter 94 Prototype of Chamber of Commerce

   Bruno looked at Cario with a ugly expression. How did this person say such a nonsense proposal? The skin is not so thick!

   It seemed that he heard the annoyance in Bruno's words, Cario knelt on the ground with a trembling in his legs.

   "Lord Earl...the little man thinks that the Odin will definitely go to war with the empire..." Although Cario's voice trembled because of tension, the words revealed a certain kind of strong confidence...

"Why? There is a noble congressman colluding with Odin? But have you ever thought that since things have been revealed, then the Norman Empire will definitely be guarded, Odin people are not stupid, how can they take advantage of Norman? When the empire was prepared for an attack?"

   Cario took a deep breath, then said word by word: "Odin, now, he is buying food at a high price in the Norman Empire."

   "What?" Bruno frowned.

"On the way to Idar, the villain discovered that there were a large number of grain caravans all the way north, and the food purchased by the Odin people in the Norman Empire this year was far more than any previous year, even at the current food prices. The price has been quite high, but the purchase has not stopped. Lord Earl, you know, the most important factor restricting the Odin from attacking the Norman Empire is food!"

   Hearing Cario's explanation like this, Bruno also felt that Cario's assertion of war between the two countries had become somewhat credible.

The Odin Empire is located in the northern part of the Norman Empire, and the climate is relatively cold. Only the southern border with the Norman Empire can grow food on a large area, and it can be grown twice a year, while the rest of the vast area is extremely unsuitable. Farming, even if it is barely able to farm, can only be harvested once a year at most, and the yield is extremely poor.

   It is precisely because of the cold climate and harsh living environment of the Odin Empire that a large part of the Odin people can only be self-sufficient by hunting beasts in the mountains and forests.

   Therefore, the per capita combat power of the Odins is generally much stronger than that of the soldiers of the Norman Empire, and an Odin can almost hang two imperial sergeants without pressure.

  So that in the eyes of most of the nobles of the Norman Empire, the Odin Empire, located in the north of the Norman Empire, is a group of uncivilized barbarians!

   However, no matter how much you look down on this northern neighbor in your heart, it will not change the established fact that the Odin Empire has actually become the biggest threat facing the Norman Empire.

   And most of the time the war between the Odin Empire and the Norman Empire was initiated by the Odin Empire.

   After all, when food is limited, the Odin Empire can often only consume the excess population through war, while the Norman Empire only relies on the northernmost winter fortress for passive defense.

   Food is often the most important factor that restrains the Odin from launching an offensive.

   But if the Odin people have enough food...Then the only problem that can limit the Odin people's offensive will be solved.

   If it weren't for war, Bruno couldn't think of why the Odin people would buy so much food.

   Therefore, the more Bruno thought about it, the more he felt that the Odin Empire had a great possibility of launching a war.

"In addition, Lord Earl, do you remember that in the spring of last year, the price of iron ore in the Norman Empire soared. It is said that there were many anonymous buyers who secretly bought it. The villain was still a little confused at that time. But if you think about it now, , Those anonymous buyers may have something to do with the Odin Empire.” While Bruno was lost in thought, Cario added.

last year?

   Bruno was taken aback, but he hadn't crossed it yet!

   However, looking back to the memory of the original body, such a thing did happen. At the time, the original body was still thinking about the iron ore in the Grand Heights, but it was difficult to mine due to the border dispute with Sauron.

  Iron ore can build weapons, food can supplement military supplies, and some noble congressmen who have been arrested for conspiracy to treason, if all these are connected...

   The invasion intention of the Odin Empire is almost certain!

   Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but re-examine the salt dealer who was kneeling in front of him.

   I was able to detect clues from the rise and fall of food prices and the shortage of iron ore a year ago. This guy named Cario... is indeed an individual...

   The limitations of the times may sound like a very distant concept in some cases, but it actually exists, and what it limits is often the angle of people thinking about problems.

   It is like a window on the ceiling. Few people can look up and see the vast stars outside the window.

   When the noble lords of the Norman Empire were entangled in whether they needed to send more soldiers to the border of the empire, Cario, as a merchant, had already sensed the determination of the Odin Empire to launch a war from the bits and pieces that happened around him.

   After all, the extra cost of buying iron ore and grain can only be made up for by the spoils of war.

   At this moment, Bruno finally had the idea of ​​soliciting Cario...

Seeing the Lord Earl in front of me seemed to be persuaded by himself~www.novelmt.com~ Cario quickly said, "So, Lord Earl, as long as you can grasp this opportunity, this is undoubtedly much for Idalling. A windfall! And you can send soldiers with me, so that you can supervise the villains and protect the sea salt in the caravan."

"What you said makes sense, and I was temporarily persuaded by you." Bruno nodded, but he immediately said: "But... although what you said makes sense, it doesn't mean I want to sell sea salt. Here you are? This lord can sell the sea salt of Idar Territory directly without your hands. In this way, there is no middleman to make the difference, and the profit will at least double."

   Hearing Bruno's words, Cario suddenly stunned.

   The earl’s reaction in front of him was obviously something he hadn’t expected.

its not right!

   The script shouldn’t be written like this!

  As an imperial nobleman, how can he do business himself?

  Although the status of merchants in the Norman Empire is not low, it is not a little bit worse than the nobility. Otherwise, Cario would not use most of his savings to buy the title.

   In the eyes of most nobles, doing business in person is a very low price!

   Cario had to look at Bruno with incredible eyes...

  Earl, can’t you ask for a face?

   You are decent as a nobleman! ?
