Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0
Ma 'abadal Rock Salt, West to East Journey
- In the western city of Mahathi, in the market of Melangar.
"What a new territory Lord Me 'Abadar has acquired!"
The territory is a mountainous land of salt, and it's amazing how much salt has been mined in just one day!
Lord Ma 'abadal is concerned about the collapse of prices in the market, so he seems to be avoiding a lot of mining at once... but he still regularly sells a certain amount of money to try to get the territory's development funds!! "
Arriving at the Mahathi market, unloading the wooden boxes on the wagon... pile up some boxes to create a sales floor, and then raise your voice.
Ellie, who had just arrived at the market like that, suddenly... some merchants in the market began to fuss about whether it was advertising or business.
Many of the confused merchants were pedestrians from outside the realm, but the merchants in the Mahathi domain also had a look of surprise...... Ellie smiled in her heart when she saw it.
Ellie had brought rock salt to Mahathi territory several times before, and she had wholesale them to her guild.
That amount was a small amount, and I didn't advertise it like this, but it was just a deal for my family... but the eye-catching merchants noticed the movement, and in the realm of Maabadal, I could take a small amount of a little bit of rock salt... I could only take a small amount that I could only sell to my family.
However, if you believe the current words, the evaluation is completely wrong, and it seems that there is a considerable amount of rock salt in the production area... Even if you don't deny that you can't tell such a lie, you can't help it because the production area is a "new territory" that they don't even know.
As for Diaz's acquisition of a new territory, Eldan and those around him had already been contacted and knew, but it had not even spread to the merchants at the end of the line... They hadn't gotten enough information to say anything about it.
In addition, Ellie claims to be the duke's official merchant, and the fact that the official merchant will not spread the lie until the duke's name is used, also gives such encouragement that Ellie's words are true.
In fact, this amount of lies was mixed in the words "mined in one day", but there was no way to break it... so the merchants who had no choice but to grab their mouths rushed out to their shops, warehouses, and other territories where they were... The merchants who remained in the market rushed closer to the sales floor to check the quality of the rock salt, and the three men, Seki, Saki, and Aoi, rushed underneath the merchants and put the pieces of rock salt on the ceramic plate,
"Here's a taste."
"This is free because it is a fragment that came out during transport."
"It's delicious because the quality is good and there is no mixture."
I offer it while saying what the hell it is.
After receiving them, the merchants honestly tasted them and were surprised at the quality...... They purchased some as a sample to check the quality, and slowly left the market while troubling their heads about how to move.
Then the Mahathi residents who had come to the market began to buy the hard-to-reach salt, wondering if it was so hard to get... The rock salt, which was filled with crates the size of a crate, was sold out in no time.
While selling them, Ellie continued to promote the fact that this rock salt region is the new territory of Lord Ma 'abadal, and that it will continue to be sold regularly... so that the rock salt of Ma 'abadal will be known as Ma 'abadal salt or Ma 'a salt... and the information will spread from the western end of the kingdom to the east at once.
The merchants rushed in a great hurry, and it was okay to reduce the price a little earlier, so spit out the salt that had accumulated, and somehow they managed to sell out and make a fuss... I wonder how many early horses they used and how fast they were...
Ellie predicted that this would happen, naturally, before she went to the market, she came to the Mahathi branch of the guild and contacted them to spread the information... then the guild's early horses ran and there was time for the information to spread to the guild's people... After waiting for a few days, she was causing a market commotion... The guild had not lost any money in this commotion, but had succeeded in gaining some profit.
In those few days, Ellie had made similar contacts with Eldan, and because of that, Eldan and the merchant had nothing to lose in this case.
In addition, some of the merchants in the eastern part of the kingdom benefited from selling the salt they had accumulated without losing money.
The source of information for the merchants in the capital city was the royal castle... the report letter and map that Diaz sent, whether they should finally say it or whether it should be earlier than the merchants, and it was successfully delivered to the royal castle of the royal capital, and it became clear that the new territory and rock salt could be obtained from them... and because of the deep connection with the royal castle, only the merchants who acquired the information first gained it without loss.
As some merchants gathered in joy... the king, who had received a letter from Diaz, was also full of joy... Gathered in the capital for the early summer ceremony. Even before the princes and princesses, that didn't change.
― ― ― ― between the capital city, the royal castle, and Satomi
Many kingdom flags are waving, walls, columns, window frames, ceilings, etc. There are elaborate workmanship using gold and silver in the room, and there is a small chair for the prince in front of the throne that fits well with the word splendid and luxurious...
The First Prince Richard sat on the chair placed on the right side of the throne in front of him. The First Princess Isabel sat on the chair placed on the left side of the throne in front of her. The Second Prince Helena sat on the chair placed on the left side of the throne in the same position as Isabelle. The King, who waved his fine white beard at such children, continued to repeat the same story again and again from the point of view of happiness.
"The port town bordering the South China Sea is under my direct jurisdiction. I immediately felt this worry when I saw that it was in trouble, and I just felt painful that this was exactly the case with the loyal minister... right?"
Not only will you be able to exploit that meadow brilliantly and acquire new territory... but that will be enough for your loyalty... don't you think... even the word "hero of national salvation" will dawn? "
Since we are royalty, we understand that we cannot be normal parents and children, and due to various things until now, we have made corresponding grooves between each other... In terms of inheritance rights, the groove between brothers and sisters has also grown.
With that in mind, the king kept calling out to her children's words and reactions like that... Richard, Isabelle, and Helena said, "Really?" "I see." "That's good." Only appropriate and gentle words were returned.
... it was a sight that made me want to let out a sigh unexpectedly from the lords, but the king read the subtle changes in the children.
Richard was half joyful and half dazed.
Perhaps Richard himself was watching the flow of salt in the market... and was shocked to see that the aircraft was crushed from the wrong direction. On the other hand, he was honestly pleased that the little chaos that had occurred in the country had been resolved, that his acquaintance was active, and that the territory he would inherit in the future had spread.
Isabel was calmly trying to make iron skin, but she was shaking her shoulders as if she could not bear to laugh. If it weren't for her eyes, she would have immediately laughed and spit out the words in her chest with a tremendous volume.
I didn't know what Isabel was thinking from her father, the king... but I can still tell that there are some unusual feelings in her.
Helena seemed a little frivolous, but she had managed to pretend to be more calm than the other two... but her eyes were shining brightly.
Whether it was an admiration or an emotion... I couldn't understand what she was thinking because it seemed the most difficult thing for the king, and her honest reaction seemed a bit surprising.
The king, who slowly watched the reaction of the three, smiled satisfiedly and nodded again and again... and then repeated a story similar to the one just now... then suddenly tightened his mouth, hardened his voice, and said words as if he thought he was scolding the three.
"... by the way, I heard rumors that there are some people who are trying to imitate such loyalists recently."
I'm not going to say evil just by sending my own people and messengers... but if someone were to pull the legs of such loyal ministers, I wouldn't be able to forgive them for being so merciful.
Especially doing such a thing in a hurry to obtain the throne is a foolishness that is to lose sight of what the throne is all about.
Richard, Isabel, Helena... don't forget these words. "
After receiving such a sudden word, Richard's expression and body tensed, and he almost simultaneously returned the word "yes" while keeping this and his thoughts in his mind.
The king smiled and nodded heavily as he received it... He raised his hand lightly and let the restraints see something like a stone on a small tray... Bring the rock salt and show it to Richard and the others.
"This is rock salt that I bought from a merchant I was eager to meet...... It belongs to the Ma 'abadar domain I talked about earlier."
It's supposed to be used for tonight's dinner... so it's good if you can enjoy the taste of the western wind that keeps blowing to save this country as well. "
After saying so, the king... took a big, raised hand and urged Richard and the others to leave the room.
In response, Richard and the others stood up quietly...... after a ritual bow, they could no longer fix it. They looked complicated and looked at each other.
