Scene 135 Bai Gang's Request
The Marquis Kadean became more and more anxious the more he thought about it. He couldn't stand the torture of all kinds of random speculations, so he simply asked Bai Gang's purpose.
"Earl Bai, please tell me your request directly. Do you want me to serve you? I am very sorry, the Kadean family has been vassals of the Duze royal family for generations, and I cannot betray my ancestors' oath!"
Sierne, who was standing aside, suddenly became anxious and interrupted, "My father, Earl Bai is not such a person!"
Bai Gang looked at Marquis Cadian strangely and said, "Your Highness the Princess is right. I am indeed not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger. Marquis, why do you think so? Why do I do this? I came to the Anglia continent not for war. I have no intention of being an enemy of Duze at all, so naturally I will not make such excessive demands on you. If I really make such demands, wouldn't it be equivalent to declaring war on Duze?"
Kadian was really confused now. If it weren't for this request, he wouldn't have imagined what else he had already been ruined by the undead's marquis, who was worthy of such a huge price. The lords fought over and over again. To put it bluntly, wasn't it just a fight for land and population?
Marquis Kadean naturally would not know what Bai Gang thought about and the Storm Base standing behind him. The gap in vision caused by different times is very huge. The land and population that Marquis Kadean is interested in seems to be of no value to the Storm Base.
What should those lands come to do? Are potatoes? It’s funny! Places with such high levels of confidentiality in other worlds cannot be used for immigration. As for population, this is of some use. Because of strict confidentiality review, the base is indeed lacking in staff, but the labor gap in the base can be completely solved by hiring, so there is no need to make a big fuss. Moreover, most of the territories in a territory are farmers, old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are all drawn without any choice. What’s the reason for pulling them in? It’s almost useless. Not to mention that the base also has to take care of them eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping.
If this can be done, it would be fine if it could reap the gratitude of the indigenous people in the other world, but if it is raised, it will be raised. Anyway, there is no shortage of this food. But in the eyes of the lords of the other world, Baigang will become an invader. It is thankless to do his best and he will suffer for himself.
The Storm Base only focuses on unique product resources from other worlds, such as magic crystals and other good things that have not been discovered yet. If you want to get them, you only need to trade. Predatory trade using industrial generation differences is a very efficient means that you have no side effects after being operated well.
The smashing, looting and colonization of those Western criminals in the Age of Discovery is too outdated!
"Marquis, I really came to establish friendship. The rescue just now and the food and medicines and other supplies afterwards are just a little gift for me. Maybe you think it is very expensive, but for me, Monte Cristo, it is just something worth mentioning. The country where I live is peaceful and peaceful, and there is no shortage of food and medicine."
Marquis Kadian sighed and said, "Ah... since that's the case, then thank Earl White. But do you really have no requirements?"
"Of course, I am not without desires. In fact, I really have two things to be answered by Marquis Kadian."
Cardan felt nervous. What was coming was finally here. Just listen carefully to what this White Earl wanted. Even if he tried to die, he would not let the Marquis take back the group of wolves and go into the tiger's mouth.
"First of all, I hope to be able to trade with the Kadean family. Of course, I hope you can exempt us from the toll. If possible, I also hope that the Marquis can help us communicate with His Majesty the Emperor and allow us to do business throughout Duze, and it is best to be exempt from taxes."
"ha!?"
Marquis Kadean and the people around them were stunned. They did not expect that Bai Gang would make such a request.
"What's wrong? Is it difficult to do?"
Marquis Kadean quickly said: "If it is only my personal territory, of course it is not difficult. I can sign the document now! Isn't the honor of our Kadean family a joke if we save our benefactor and collect taxes!?
However, I can't do anything about doing business in Duze. I can convince the emperor, but Duze is facing huge pressure from the undead, and I'm afraid there is no energy to take care of these. In addition... Although it's a bit difficult to speak, Duze's business route is indeed paralyzed, and there are undead everywhere. The lords' troops are only forcing to guard the castle, and it is impossible to wipe out the scattered undeads, so it is probably difficult to fulfill the Count's request."
"It doesn't matter. We can find ways to do business on our own, and even help you clean up the dead."
"Are you saying true? If so, I can guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will agree to your request!"
Marquis Kadean looked at Bai Gang excitedly. Of course, he knew how important the smooth trade route of a country was. Now this Count Bai is willing to help clear the dead! Even for this only, the emperor would agree to Bai Gang's request without hesitation.
Baigang nodded with satisfaction. As long as this product that meets the future base, it will be rampant throughout the entire city!
In the Middle Ages of the lord's feudal system, the goods had to pay tax once every lord's territory. Just like when the Chinese warlords fought, there were tax checkpoints everywhere. The cheapest goods were foreign goods that did not have to pay taxes! In order to pay less tax, domestic goods had to go through the water, but the shipping industry at that time was also dominated by foreigners! It was indeed rare for national industries to grow up in such a harsh environment.
"The second thing, I hope to be able to buy a piece of land and then build a town there as a transfer station for the Storm Corner to the hinterland of Duze."
"land……"
Marquis Kadean sighed and finally waited for this. Although he was extremely reluctant to cede the territory that his ancestors had worked hard to open up, there was no way to do it now. As long as it was not too much, he could only agree.
“I don’t know which place you plan to choose?”
"I haven't conducted a detailed investigation yet, but my dragons saw a place in the sky that seemed pretty good. I think if there is no big problem, I should choose it. I don't know if you have a map here, so I can point it out for you."
