"You have white sugar here?" Robert asked in surprise.
"Of course." Chrissy nodded. "Didn't you drink it just now?"
Robert looked at Kris in surprise. This pioneering territory deep in the wilderness actually had white sugar. One had to know that there weren't many places in the Kingdom of Florence that produced brown sugar, and white sugar was even rarer. Now, this small town with less than a thousand people actually produced white sugar.
Robert quickly regained his composure. He realized that he was going to be lucky this time. After sorting out his emotions, Robert continued, "Then, Miss Chrissy, how do you plan to trade for the white sugar?"
"Tell me what you think first." Chrissy played with the leather whip in her hand without looking up.
"We are willing to buy all the white sugar in your territory. We can even sign a contract. From now on, we are willing to buy all the white sugar in Sir Suhlen's territory at a high price. At the same time, we will give you a 20% discount on all the resources you need," Robert said.
"All white sugar? Robert, your Skylark Merchant Guild is quite greedy. "Chrissy shook her head. "You want to monopolize the white sugar trade? You better give up on that idea. "
Robert wasn't surprised. As long as one wasn't an idiot, they wouldn't let a merchant guild monopolize all the white sugar. He still felt a little regretful. "How much white sugar can you sell us?"
"We will be selling fifty pounds of white sugar this time. The price for each pound is fifty Kinnar," Chrissy said with a smile.
"Fifty pounds of white sugar?" Robert was shocked. Fifty pounds wasn't a lot, but Calt City only produced about sixty to seventy pounds of white sugar a year. Now, it had doubled.
"No, fifty pounds is too little, and the price is too high. You should know that the price of white sugar in Calt City is thirty Kinnar. If we follow this price, we won't be able to earn a single copper. We'll lose money!" Robert shook his head.
"Mister Robert, do you think I don't know the price of white sugar?" Crazy glanced at him and continued, "30 Kinnar is indeed the market price, but that's the price of white sugar. You should know how much white sugar is distributed, right? 15 catties a year. That's all the nobles in Kalent get. What's the price of the rest of the white sugar?"
Because the production of white sugar was very low, half of the production of white sugar in the Kingdom of Florence was directly distributed to the nobles. Every noble had a fixed share of the white sugar, and the price of the white sugar was also fixed.
There were more than a hundred nobles in Kalent City. With so many nobles sharing the fifteen kilograms of sugar, each person would not even get half a kilogram. This amount was naturally not enough. However, if he wanted more white sugar, he would have to go to the market to buy white sugar. Of course, the price of white sugar in the market was much higher. The lowest price would be doubled. Moreover, the supply did not meet the demand.
"Besides, do you think we will lack partners? As long as we release the news of the sugar, those chambers of commerce will definitely flock to us, so we need to know where we stand. "
The white sugar trade had just begun in Northtown Castle. Zeon also brought a caravan to Kalent City. The development of the territory required a lot of resources and people, and Suhlen planned to rely on the white sugar trade.
In fact, only with a stable trade could a territory develop. For example, Suhlen's territory. If there was a trade, more caravans would come to do business. If the caravans wanted to come to Northtown Castle, they would have to pass through the dangerous wilderness, so they had to hire guards. In this way, each caravan would have at least a hundred people.
The arrival of these people also increased the consumption of the locals. Soon, all kinds of hotels and taverns would appear in the town. The prosperity of the economy would attract more people. If they wanted to develop here, they would have to buy a property. The houses and land that Suhlen built would also become popular.
The arrival of these people would also provide a lot of tax revenue for the territory. In this way, Suhlen's territory would form a virtuous cycle. Only then could the territory be considered a success.
At noon, the people who had been busy all morning were resting. The women and children had already prepared a sumptuous lunch. The barbarian women were not very good at cooking. They were best at stewing. They put all kinds of meat and other food into a big pot, added water and salt, and then simmered until it was ready.
The most common food in the territory was potatoes. Fortunately, it was potatoes. Otherwise, with the barbarian women's cooking, the food they made would be a disaster. Potatoes stewed with fish, potatoes stewed with beef, potatoes stewed with lamb, and so on.
The barbarian warriors did not have high requirements for food. As for the goblins, kobolds, and gnolls, they were lucky to be able to eat as slaves. Suhlen really missed the various delicacies of his past life.
After two days of rain, the territory became muddy. The two days of autumn rain brought a slight chill. Under the Lord's orders, the serfs were seizing the time to farm.
The Lord's promise gave the serfs hope again. As the poor people of this era, their requirements were actually very low. Suhlen only gave them a faint hope, and they would work hard for it.
As long as they worked hard, they would be able to eat their fill. Although there were only a few people living in a room, the room was dry and warm. It would not leak when it rained. There was a small room to shelter them from the wind and rain. The Lord also promised that as long as they worked hard for five years, they would be able to regain their freedom.
If they continued to work, they would even be rewarded with land and houses. This was simply a gift for poor serfs like them.
At the beginning of autumn, after the continuous autumn rain, the heat in the air had mostly dissipated. The potatoes planted in the fields had already sprouted. The first batch had already grown green leaves. These potatoes were the food for the Northern Castle to survive the winter. Other than these, the most common thing in the Northern Castle's warehouse was dried salted fish.
These dried salted fish were specially made to replenish meat during the winter. There were also some dried meat that was already made. However, with the arrival of autumn, there would be less and less weather suitable for drying fish.
The Northern Castle was now recognized by the system. Some of the resources near the territory were also included in the system. On the system's strategic map, there were not many resources marked in Suhlen's territory. They were wood, iron, and fish resources.
The other resources that were not found were not listed in the system.
Currently, the only things that could be traded in the territory were various iron weapons and white sugar. As for wood, Suhlen's territory was too far away from Blackstone City. It would be a loss to ship them there.
