Throne of the North.

Chapter 54 Trading and Selling

The advantage of spending enough money is that all goods can be delivered to your door.

When Ryan returned to the mansion where he was staying, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce had already delivered the slaves he wanted. As for the food and livestock, he would have to wait two months to receive them in the Frozen Territory.

After resting for two hours, Ryan went to a noble mansion in North Wind City in the afternoon.

"Go and inform Viscount Landa that my Lord Baron is visiting."

Rosen shouted in front of the mansion, and soon someone came out to lead Ryan into the mansion.

The meeting between nobles should be cumbersome, but the nobles in the North Wind Province rarely have such a troublesome process. After passing through several gates, Ryan saw Viscount Landa.

He knew that the viscount was very short of money, so short of money that he would rather give up the deposit than buy the pre-ordered elf slaves.

"Lian has met the Viscount."

"Well, you are Ryan. As expected of a child from the Clayton family, you are very handsome."

Viscount Landa looked at Ryan and smiled. The North Wind Province was not small, but the circle of nobles was not big anywhere else. As a baron, even a baron from the Frozen Territory, he was a veritable high-ranking official in the North Wind Province.

Moreover, Viscount Landa also knew some news inside the empire. The Clayton family had been gaining momentum recently. Even if they did not become the Grand Duke, their status among the earls and nobles would rise a lot.

Naturally, since Ryan came from the Clayton family, no one in the North Wind Province had been targeting him recently.

Even when I spoke up in parliament before and said that the frozen land had no money, didn't you see that no one stood up to make some sarcastic remarks?
They were all nobles, and although they did not communicate much, they all knew about Earl Clayton's affairs within the empire. In addition, they were also clear about what the Frozen Territory was like, so they did not create any obstacles.

If I have to go to the south of the empire in the future, I might have to exchange pleasantries with Ryan.

This is the benefit brought by the second generation of your family.

Viscount Landa seemed to have become much kinder recently. Perhaps it was the experience of the entire Hanshan County that made him change.

He asked first:
"Lian, come to me, but what help do you need?"

Ryan naturally understood the etiquette between nobles and the importance of giving each other face.

"Lian does want to ask for Viscount Landa's help."

"I want to buy a batch of slaves from the Viscount. I want both serfs and orc slaves."

After hearing Ryan's words, Viscount Landa's face was filled with smiles.

"For developing wasteland, slaves are indeed the best choice."

The orcs moved south and ravaged many places, causing these nobles to lose a large amount of property, but at the same time, they also brought them more slaves.

Captured orc slaves and civilians who lost their wealth and land were also forced into slavery, and eventually became the property of the nobles.

"It's just that... Hanshan County is in a mess right now, and I need a lot of slaves to help me cultivate the fields. Ryan, you know that we have missed the best time for spring farming, and this year's harvest may not be as good as last year's."

"I'm willing to pay a 20% premium."

Ryan directly used the method of adding money, and sure enough, Viscount Landa's eyes suddenly lit up.

The slave trade was the basis for him to return to his viscountship. The biggest buyers were of course the chambers of commerce, but those chambers of commerce only wanted serfs, and there was no market for those orc slaves in the south. Before Ryan arrived, he was still worried about how to deal with them.

Orcs eat a lot, and the cost-effectiveness is very low. I didn’t expect that I would be the one to take advantage of them when I felt sleepy.

"Five orc slaves for one gold coin, I want fifty thousand."

Ryan spoke directly, but was rejected by Viscount Landa. "Ryan, that's not how business works. Ordinary gnoll, cat, rat, and man slaves are five for one gold coin, but those minotaurs are very useful. Their endurance is worth one gold coin each."

"It just so happens that I now have tens of thousands of Minotaur slaves and more than 6,000 Kobold slaves. These are all high-quality slaves who do hard labor, and they cost at least one gold coin each."

As soon as Viscount Landa finished speaking, Ryan waved his hand and said proudly:
"Three gold coins and five. I want them all."

"Three gold coins and five I still know how to..."

Viscount Landa suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words and stared at Ryan's face.

"You want them all?"

Viscount Landa stared at Ryan closely. He didn't believe that Ryan was so rich, nor did he believe that Ryan's frozen land territory would need so many slaves.

But... Ryan gave too much.

"It seems that your life has improved a lot since Lord Earl Clayton returned to the Empire, Ryan."

In Viscount Landa's mind, this was the only answer. Only the Earl of Clayton's family could be so generous. It was said that not long ago, all the things that originally belonged to Ryan were sent to the Frozen Territory.

Ryan smiled without saying anything and looked at Viscount Landa. Soon, the deal between the two was reached.

Ryan also bought a batch of food from Viscount Landa. Ten or twenty thousand orc slaves also needed food.

At the same time, it was necessary to rent an army from Viscount Landa to suppress the group of slaves. It can only be said that in just over ten minutes, Viscount Landa made a fortune.

After waiting for a few days, Ryan brought his soldiers and Viscount Landa to Hanshan County. A total of 700 soldiers escorted a large number of orc slaves and began to return to the Frozen Territory.

The speed of walking with slaves is very slow, and under the high pressure, many orcs will die on the road, but this is all Ryan can do.

From Hanshan County to Lingdu County, there were seven or eight hundred orc slaves killed on the road. When approaching Lingdu City, Ryan brought a few people into the county town.

He went directly to the Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce to buy some magic hatching scrolls.

"Monster egg?"

Listening to Ryan's description, big-breasted Irina's eyes lit up. She had been extremely busy since the beginning of spring, but at this moment she planned to put other things aside.

"The egg of the frost python..."

Irina hesitated, then looked at Ryan.

"Lord Ryan, my suggestion is that you should sell it."

"why?"

"The growth cycle of the Frost Python is too long. It takes a hundred years for it to reach adulthood. After you wasted the hatching scroll to hatch it, even if you ordered the southern magic beast growth potion from the Chamber of Commerce, it would be expensive. The one hundred year cycle can only be shortened to about thirty years. Any more and it will affect the foundation of the magic beast."

"Especially the Frost Python, which is considered a large monster among all monsters. The amount of food it needs every month is equal to your frozen land..."

To put it bluntly, the food consumption is high and unaffordable, resulting in the Frost Python being not cost-effective.

Frowning, Ryan found that he seemed to have overlooked the energy consumption required for the growth of Warcraft.

A magical beast could certainly protect a family for hundreds of years, but for Ryan at the moment, his territory was on the rise and there was no need to waste time on it.

"Then, how much do you want for three frost python eggs?"
