Chapter 144 Madsen's Business

Baron Madson had long seen Baron Claudesey's men and knew that there was a conflict between him and Crach Monchik, but the old fox didn't want to interfere in their affairs, and was even very happy to see this battle.

It was not until it was confirmed that Baron Claudesey had gone away that Madson came to the door of the manor, pretending that nothing had happened, and reminded Li Nong to spread the news for him.

There was no need to pass the news at all, and Manda stood less than a hundred steps away from him.

"Sir Baron, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Manda held the injured Silva and greeted the Baron with a smile. He made an appointment to meet Baron Madson today, so he was not surprised by his arrival.

Seeing the mess around and looking at Silva covered in bruises, Madsen pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. Monchik, what happened here? Your housekeeper was injured? Have you encountered a robber?"

Although he was seriously injured, Silva did not lose the demeanor of the butler and still smiled politely: "Sir Baron, this is no big deal. I'll ask someone to help you lead the horse."

Manda sighed and said, "Baron Claudesey has just arrived. I don't know what crazy he has been, so he has to come to me to find his son."

"If others are not, I may really not understand, but Baron Claudesey did this, it did not surprise me at all. I really don't know how to describe him. Take your housekeeper to treat the injury first. Don't care about me. This is not the first time I'm here, I will go directly to the hall to wait for you."

After settling down on Silva, Manda came to the hall, exchanged a few greetings with Madson, and then began to complain about Claudesey, and the topic opened.

Madson was here to discuss business on this trip: "Claudesey is a madman, an ignorant and arrogant madman, but this madman has a good father-in-law, Lord Pedros. You have seen him, the owner of this manor before. He is the best businessman in Tieshan Town. He is richer than Lord Viscount. Guess what business he does?"

Manda thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, he has many iron kilns and more than a dozen blacksmith's workshops."

"Do you think you can earn so much property with that little business?"

Manda was stunned. This really made him ask: "In Tieshan Town, what else is more profitable than the ironware business?"

Madsen smiled and said, "Have you ever bought salt at the market?"

"My housekeeper bought it."

"Do you know the price?"

"I haven't noticed it."

"You are a rich man and don't care about this little money, but ordinary families are different. A farmer has to buy at least two silver coins of salt a year, which is just a small bag. If you do other places, you won't be able to use forty copper coins."

The salt price here is five times that outside? Manda really doesn't know about this. Although the original owner has lived in Tieshan Town for twelve years, he never had any experience in buying salt in his memory. This is not because his identity is so special. Manda's status at home is similar to that of a servant, and he often goes to the market to buy things.

Based on Madson's words just now, Manda made some inferences that Lord Pedros was in the business of selling salt.

Unfortunately, his inference was not accurate. Madson took a sip of wine and said, "He is not just a business selling salt. Pedros knows several big salt merchants in Blue Bay. Those people sell him salt at a low price. All the salt in Tieshan Town comes from him."

No wonder Baron Claudesey never bought salt. It turned out that his father-in-law had monopolized the salt market in the entire Tieshan Town, so his son-in-law naturally did not lack salt.

But why do other nobles not do salt business? In addition to Viscount Sorens, there are three barons and seven lords in Tieshan Town. Are they not greedy for money?

Madson shook his head helplessly and said, "I said, Claudesay is a lunatic. If we dare to steal his business, he will dare to burn our house. He has four knights and some guards who have fought wars. No one wants to offend those desperate people."

Thinking of the combat effectiveness of those guards, Manda couldn't help but laugh. This group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals could scare Madson like this, which shows that Madson's strength is not very good.

No, even if these nobles were scared, was Viscount Sorens scared?

This is impossible. Sorens broke out in war with the valley, and he also lost a son for it. Manda had a certain understanding of him.

In order to consolidate his rule, he has always tried his best to weaken the power of other nobles in Tieshan Town, but his own strength is not weak. He can form an army of hundreds of people at any time. With just one move, he can flatten the two families of Claudesse and Pedros. Why did he tolerate the arrogance and dominance of these two families?

"Because it's profitable," Madson smiled, "Pedros would contribute half of the income from selling salt to the Viscount. He would make money everywhere and every other way, and the Viscount was too lazy to deal with those salt merchants."

"You want to make this money, too?" Manda added a glass of wine to Madson.

Madson shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's us. I spent more than a year becoming friends with several salt merchants. They will sell me cheap salt, but I'm not convenient for me to do business in person. I don't want to have a conflict with Claudesay. I think you are a brave person. There are a lot of gold coins waiting for us, it depends on whether you dare to reach out to get it."

Manda is very interested in this. Although he owns more than 20,000 gold coins, there are more than 150 teenagers in the manor waiting for him to train. The expenses of entering and upgrading are very huge, and it is not a solution to lose money.

Moreover, it is something he is happy to hollow out the property of his "father" and "grandfather".

Manda nodded gently: "Some things have to be taken, but it depends on how interests are divided. Viscount must be missed after all."

"That's right," Madson thought Manda was very acclaimed, "We each paid half of the capital, 50% of the Viscount's as usual, and the remaining 50% of the 30% of the Immortals, 20% of the Immortals, will the deal be made?"

"Twenty percent is a little less," Manda curled her lips, "I am the one who faces the madman."

"Don't be so greedy, young people, I have spent a lot of money to win over those salt merchants," Madson put down his wine glass and said, "If you are willing to agree, I will transport the salt in two days. We have to do it as soon as possible. As far as I know, Pedros is also preparing to transport a batch of salt to Tieshan Town. We must sell cheaper than them and take action faster than them, otherwise the vendors in the town will not buy our salt."

Manda pondered for a long time and said, "Can you not encounter robbers after transporting salt from Blue Bay to Tieshan Town?"

"I dare to do this business and naturally prepare," Madson smiled. "I have chosen the route. There will be no big thieves or bandits on the road. As for some little thieves, I will just bring a few more guards at that time. They dare not attack the caravan."

Manda shook her head and said, "We won't encounter robbers, but Lord Pedros is hard to say."

"This is even more impossible. They have been operating this business for decades, how could it be..."

Madson suddenly stopped and saw Manda's strange smile. He seemed to understand something: "You mean, Pedros' caravan might have an accident?"

Manda nodded and said, "I think Lord Lord has used up all the money."

Madson whispered: "Claudshow will send soldiers to accompany you all the way. Are you sure?"

Manda smiled and said, "As long as you are familiar with their routes, I believe Doom will definitely come to them."
