"Yes!" Winters suddenly remembered the words of Monk Reed, and he laughed loudly: "Who doesn't agree? What does the army do for? In the final analysis, you still have to hold the hilt. If you can hold the hilt, you will have to hold the hilt. If you can hold the hilt, all problems will be

It's not a problem. Just go and do it! I haven't been afraid of anyone in war."

...

Bard took over the land reclamation business, while Winters was determined to deal with Rhodean.

As graduates of the same military academy, everyone is too familiar with each other and things will definitely not end like this.

The sixth day after Revodan received the news that Bud and Mason Centenarians were "annihilated" - that is, September 21.

Charles is back and still brings the little lion.

The last thing Winters wants to see now is the guests, but the guests always come when he least wants to see them.

"Good luck and good fortune, take the capital." The little lion gave a saber as a gift and hugged Winters intimately.

In addition to the saber, the little lion also brought thirty horses, which were also gifts.

It has been a while since I heard the name "Badu", and Winters felt a little subtle.

"You are lucky too!" Winters gave the little lion a hug: "How are your brother? Are you... sister okay?"

"Eerlun? She is very good. My brother, he is also very good." Little Lion replied casually: "He has been busy organizing Qimin recently, otherwise he would have come here in person."

Winters' body became stiff in an instant.

He sorted out his emotions and asked as naturally as possible: "Oh? I'm a household registration and a civilian? What does it mean?"

"It's just a household registration and a civilian." The little lion obviously didn't want to answer this question more: "Just like you."

When a distant guest visits, family and friends should be introduced to their families and friends, whether according to the rules of the wasteland or the etiquette of Paratu.

Winters took the Lion to the barracks first to meet Bud, Andre and Mason.

Bad and Andre still had a deep impression of Hed slaves on Chiyi Island.

Everyone was also very sad when they learned about Winters' experience in the wasteland.

Then, Winters led the Lion to meet the female family members such as Anna, Catherine, Mrs. Mitchell, Scarlett and others.

Although the ladies were surprised when they saw a "barbarian" visiting, they still showed twelve politeness to the little lion.

Little Lion can speak the common language and respect the women, but there is only one rude thing:

When Winters introduced Anna, "This is my fiancée", he raised his eyebrows and looked Anna carefully, which made Anna feel a little uncomfortable.

Winters' smile also became a little stiff.

The little lion sighed: "I know why Eerlun lost."

The ladies keenly perceived the subtle emotions in the little lion's words.

Catherine's almond eyes immediately glared at Winters. If there weren't any guests, she would have attacked on the spot.

Mrs. Mitchell shook her head helplessly, but Scarlett was still a little confused.

Anna frowned slightly and asked the little lion with a smile: "Who is Eerlun?"

"It's my benefactor." Winters answered first.

"I'm asking-Mr. Yahatch." Anna's smile became brighter.

Winters was very familiar with this smile. The last time he saw this smile, he slapped hard in the face.

"Who is Eerlun?" Anna asked again with a smile.

The little lion swallowed and replied seriously: "It's Winters' benefactor."

The matter has been revealed for the time being.

When Winters left Mitchell Manor, he asked Anna for credit: "I made you a particularly beautiful easel, which I made myself. The pine wood is light and sturdy, and can be carried on a horse's back.

Go outdoors. I'll send it to you tonight..."

"Be careful, Mr. Montane." Anna leaned on Winters' shoulder and said kindly: "I have brought the golden sword you gave me too. If you are unfaithful, I will follow you

Teach me - sting it hard."

After saying that, Anna gently kissed Winters on the cheek.

Winters took the Lion and fled to leave Mitchell Manor.

Of course, the little lion went to Wolf Town not to visit friends.

He is fully in charge of the representative of Bai Shi and wants to discuss a business, which may be a big deal.

After the etiquette reception, it is time to get to the point.

The little lion just arrived in Wolf Town in the morning and opened a closed-door meeting in the military camp in the afternoon.

"What do you want?" Winters went straight to the point.

There were only Winters, Bard, Andre and Mason in the big tent, and no one else was there, and there was even no recorder.

"What do you want?" The meeting was private, and the little lion was relaxed. He smiled bitterly and said, "You want anything."

Grain, iron, cloth, oil... Chihemen wants everything.

The Hed wasteland was surrounded by mountains from north to south, and to the west was a bitter and cold plateau, and behind the plateau was still a mountain; there was only one exit to the east, and it was severely blocked by the Palatus people.

The smuggling caravans to the wasteland were either money-making tools for the powerful or spies from the Palatou Army. Most caravans had two identities at the same time.

Even though the Hed tribes knew that they were coming to spies, they could only do business by biting the bullet.

The little lion spread his hands: "The grassland produces nothing but grass; nothing except grass."

There is an exaggeration in his words, but it is roughly accurate.

"The key is what do you have?" Little Lion asked back

Winters' face turned slightly red: "We have nothing. Wolf Town has nothing but farmland and lacks anything except forests. But there will be something in the future."

The little lion sighed: "I can see too, you are rebelling...what do you want?"

Bud and Mason smoked their pipes without saying a word.

"Prisoned." Winters did not hesitate.

The little lion nodded.

"There is a horse!" Finally, he talked about what Andre cared about.

Mason said slowly, "We all need horses, cows, sheep, these livestock."

The little lion nodded again.

Winters simply took out a quill pen and settled the score for the Lion:

"Veneta has a saying, [The only thing that can be sold thousands of miles away is gold]. Items with high unit weight and volume profit can be transported long distances. Wolf Town produces nothing, and Tiefeng County only has a little handicraft. If your brother is

It is actually not suitable to think of Tiefeng County as a smuggling window.

Tiefeng County is not directly connected to the grasslands of Chihe tribe. Transferring supplies from other places to Lang Town and even Rewodan, and then transporting them to Chihe tribe is equivalent to a big circle.

Cargo from Veneta and the United Provinces to Paratu is usually transported by water. It is originally going upstream and has to go around the land, and the cost of goods will be pushed very high. Moreover, the road conditions in Tiefeng County are very poor.

It will also increase costs.

For goods with low unit prices like fabric, the freight is one to two times the value of the goods itself. If you detour again, the freight may reach three to four times the price of the goods itself.”

Winters concluded: "It is necessary to produce, process it in Tiefeng County and then send it to the wasteland to the cheapest price. If the Chihe tribe wants to sell leather and other raw materials outside the wasteland, it must first roughly process it and transport it.

When you arrive in Tiefeng County, you will have to process it carefully. It is best to leave Tiefeng County and be the finished product, so that it will be competitive.

I have sent someone to reconnaissance [Tiefeng County-Veneta] landlines, if…”

Winters talked endlessly about business practices, which surprised Andre and Bard.

Senior Mason may not know, but Andre and Bard know Winters well.

Winters Montagne, a man who can't even remember the account, never counts the money he spends.

He goes to buy things, and he doesn't even bargain. He gives as much as he says. If he thinks it is expensive, he turns around and leaves.

He has some knowledge of business, simply because he has lived in Hailan and Guitucheng since childhood, and has been influenced by his own eyes.

But I have never been so eloquent like today.

Andre and Bud stared at Winters and asked with their eyes.

Winters noticed the eyes of the two, and he coughed softly, pretending to be careless and explained: "Miss Navare told me."

"I understand what you mean. You want to open a furnace, smelter iron in Tiefeng County, sell it to us, replace people, change horses, and change skins. Isn't that what you mean when you tell my brother about the iron ore?"

The little lion leaned against the back of the chair carelessly: "Actually, we know that there is hematite in the Hanlan River. My brother also sent someone upstream to explore the mines. The problem is that the grassland lacks iron smelting fuel and there are no blacksmiths."

“There are forests in the new land, and there is a large forest.”

"But according to your statement, the further you transport the higher the cost. Have you considered how far the iron ore is from the upper reaches of the Hanlan River??"

Winters' pupils dilate slightly.

The Little Lion's words before were all price-pressure, and what he really wanted to say was at the end.
To be continued...
