Chapter 225: Collaboration with the Assad family and involvement in the slave trade

As a newly born province, the Northern Province may not need anything else, but there are two things that are absolutely indispensable. One is weapons. Without weapons, it is difficult to deal with the complex situation in the Northern Province.

The second is naturally the population.

The entire Northern Province is a wild scene. If you want to develop it, you must have a large population.

Even the importance of population is more important than weapons.

This is also the main reason why Marquis Lehman does not prohibit weapons, but strictly controls the slave trade.

Even if it is just the slave trade, the gold coins brought to the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce every year exceed 100,000 gold coins, which is the most important source of gold coins for the entire Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. It is also the fundamental reason why Marquis Lehman's income far exceeds that of ordinary marquises, and even some powerful marquises cannot match it.

Thor has always had an idea about this slave trade.

Unfortunately, there was no way before, whether it was the restrictions of Marquis Lehman or his own strength.

As the fief of Marquis Lehman, the Northern Province will be completely controlled by Marquis Lehman within ten years, and even other powerful nobles cannot intervene.

For this reason, Marquis Lehman also had to serve as a pioneer to resist at the border of the orcs.

Not to mention him, even the Dressrosa family and even the powerful Marquis family could not intervene.

Second, it was his own strength.

His previous strength was not enough, and it was almost impossible for him to participate in it.

After all, there are many people who want to participate in the slave trade, but at present, there are only four families who can truly control the slave trade, not counting those who intervene.

That's right, there are only four families.

They are the Tulip Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Tulip Royal Family and the Chamber of Commerce controlled by the three dukes.

Even if the indirect involvement and intervention are included, there are only nine families.

The other five are the three top nobles, Marquis Lehman, and the Assad family.

The three top nobles are involved with the three dukes.

Marquis Lehman and the Assad family.

The former relies on the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, and the latter relies on the Karenina family.

These nine families, even the weakest Assad family, are far more powerful than the general powerful earl families, and are not inferior to some marquis families.

There is no need to say more about other families.

Thor wanted to intervene, not to mention with his previous strength, even with his current strength, it was almost difficult.

However, the road can be walked step by step, and the food can be eaten bite by bite.

It is difficult for him to intervene like Marquis Lehman and the Assad family, but he can rely on the two to intervene.

It is almost impossible to get it from Marquis Lehman.

But it does not mean that it cannot be obtained from the Assad family.

Although this is already a middleman to make a difference, the profit of slave trading is more than a hundred times, even if there is a middleman to make a difference, it is enough to meet his needs.

As for whether the Assad family will agree.

Thor is not too worried.

At this moment, with the expansion of the North and the retreat of the orcs, Marquis Lehman’s mission to guard the city naturally does not exist, so his privileges will also be deprived.

Such a large northern province is full of unlimited opportunities.

The three dukes may not be very interested in the power of the royal family.

But the three top marquis families, the powerful marquis families, and some families with chambers of commerce will certainly be very interested.

After all, let’s not talk about other things.

The Nau in the Danube alone is enough for them to spread their tentacles.

In this case, Thor gave the Assad family an opportunity, and the Assad family would definitely be happy to cooperate.

Especially Thor showed his sufficient strength this time.

If there is no accident, Thor’s Eagle Territory will definitely become the uncrowned king of the entire Northland Province in the true sense, and it will be even more impossible to miss it.

In the study.

Thor tapped the table lightly, and a series of thoughts were flowing in his mind. He was constructing the development plan for the entire Eagle Territory and even the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

His crisis was indeed resolved next.

But competition is coming soon.

Although there is still some time, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

While Thor was slightly hesitant.

Lajos Assad had already returned to Frost Moon Province with the mission given to him by Thor.

Assad family territory.

Compared to Dressrosa territory, Assad family's territory is located in the east, occupying an area of ​​almost one-fifth of the Frost Moon Province.

In the entire Frost Moon Province, Assad family was only slightly inferior to Pat family before, because Pat family has a sky knight, otherwise Assad family might be stronger than Pat family.

Therefore, in Sahara Mine, Assad family holds more than 25% of the shares, second only to Pat family's 30%.

Before this, Assad family far surpassed Dressrosa family.

Its inheritance has been more than 700 years. Assad family currently has five known earth knights, and the actual number is more than ten. There are at least three or more earth knights at the peak.

Such a family, Pat family may not be comparable.

However, with the outbreak of Earl Engel this time, Assad family was also shocked.

At this moment in the study.

Looking at the details sent by subordinates.

A blond man still couldn't calm down, even though more than half a month had passed.

But the impact of this news on him was still too great.

"He actually made a breakthrough!"

Muttering to himself, the blond man couldn't help but think of the purple grass purchased by the heir of the Dressrosa family last time.

Obviously, if nothing unexpected happened, Count Engel should have made use of that purple golden grass to break through.

What seemed almost impossible to him seemed to come true at this moment.

This has made it difficult for him to calm down recently.

Their family has been pursuing the Sky Knight for two hundred years. Since the death of that Sky Knight ancestor, the Assad family has not been able to give birth to a Sky Knight for two hundred years.

The Assad family also fell from a powerful marquis family to a count family.

But at this moment, the Dressrosa family has completed a leap.

This made him feel extremely complicated, and he didn't even know how to describe it.

And in his complexity.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Boom!"

"Come in!"

The blond man took a deep breath to let his emotions gradually calm down before he spoke softly.

"Crunch!"

The door was opened and a figure walked in.

"Master, Master Lajos wants to see you."

The figure spoke respectfully.

"Lajos, why is he back?"

The blond man was a little surprised when he spoke curiously.

He originally didn't pay much attention to his son, who was just an illegitimate son. A few hundred years ago, he wouldn't even have the chance to recognize him. But now he cares a little more, but he just gave some gold coins casually, and almost... A useless store in Loren City.

But he didn't expect that in just a few years, his son would undergo earth-shaking changes.

First, he caught up with a descendant of Dressrosa, and then that descendant of Dressrosa developed rapidly, and Lajos also got a lot of room to play.

He also paid more attention to it and gave Lajos more opportunities.

And the result undoubtedly proves that his son is indeed good.

Income has increased rapidly in a short period of time, and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce established with the help of one of Dressrosa's descendants has a decent appearance. He can't help but be concerned about this.

But it was just some attention. For him, he was just a son. If he made a casual investment, it would be good to gain something. If there was no gain, the loss would not be big.

However, no one expected that the unexpected surprise would come so suddenly.

The Dressrosa family suddenly erupted.

This casual investment seems to be the most correct investment.

Because if he remembered correctly, the heir of Dressrosa seemed to be Count Engel's son, and he valued him very much.

This time, it even gave him the power to directly defeat the alliance of twenty-seven powerful noble descendants.

It was an alliance of twenty-seven powerful noble heirs. Even the Assad family could feel their scalp numb when they faced it.

In the end, he was defeated by Tordressrosa.

He didn't believe that this was the power of Tordressrosa. The only explanation was that Count Engel gave him a lot of power.

With such attention, Thor's future achievements can be fully expected.

Lajos must have achieved a lot by following Thor.

"Let him in!"

Thoughts flowed, but only a moment passed. The blond man seemed to ponder for a moment, and then spoke.

"yes!"

The figure nodded and then retreated.

After a few moments, Lajos was brought into the room.

"Father!"

Looking at the blond man, Lajos quickly greeted him.

"Lajos, why do you have time to come back and visit me?"

The blond man spoke with a smile.

"Father!"

Lajos was in a daze, but he still spoke quickly, but he didn't know what to say for a while. His father had never been so kind in his memory.

"Okay, I'm just talking casually. Is there anything you want to do when you come back this time?"

Seeing Lajos's stiff expression for a moment, the blond middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, and then took the initiative to change the topic.

"Father, it's like this. The Lord wants to cooperate with our Assad family and wants to see if Father has any intention."

Lajos nodded, took a deep breath, and then told the purpose of returning this time.

"cooperate?"

The blond man raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, Father, you should know that the Northern Territory has expanded. Since then, the agreement between Marquis Lehman and the Kingdom has been terminated. Other forces in the Kingdom can also enter the Northern Province. What the Lord wants is to make peace with Assad. Chamber of Commerce to cooperate and occupy more markets as soon as possible.”

Lajos nodded, and then told some of Thor's arrangements.

The blond man was a little surprised at first, then showed a hint of interest.

In the end, his thoughts were completely attracted by Lajos's words.

Until Lajos finished speaking, the blond man's thoughts were still silent.

Lajos did not interrupt, but waited quietly.

He believed that his father would agree.

After all, I believe no one would be willing to refuse such a temptation.

"Toldresrosa means that our Assad family will provide slaves and corresponding supplies. The supplies of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will be purchased at the Assad Chamber of Commerce as much as possible. At the same time, we can go to Eagle City Open a corresponding store?”

After pondering for a moment, the blond man slowly spoke.

"Yes, Father, and it is only Eagle City at the moment, but soon, when other cities are built in the future, the Assad family can also go there."

Lajos nodded and spoke seriously.

"Indeed, it's attractive enough."

"But Lajos, you should know that even if I don't cooperate with you, I can already let the Assad family spread to the Northland Province, so why should I cooperate with you?"

The blond man nodded, his words carrying a hint of meaning.

"Father, with all due respect, most of the resources in the entire Northland Province are now in the hands of our Eagle Chamber of Commerce, and we have built a complete trade route. Even if Father is involved in it, if you want It may be difficult to achieve sufficient results.”

Lajos shook his head and spoke softly.

"It seems that you have really grown up."

"For cooperation, yes!"

"But the conditions need to be changed. If Tordressrosa can agree, then there will be no problem!"

The blond man smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then his face became solemn.

"Father, please speak directly!"

Lajos looked more serious and nodded seriously.

"I don't need the shop. The Assad family can also provide supplies specifically for your Eagle Chamber of Commerce. However, the slave trade needs to be independent. Our Assad family needs to hold at least 35% of the shares."

"You can go back and discuss with the Tordressrosa family and give me a response then."

"Of course, if you are afraid of wasting time, I can ask Deli to take the first batch of slaves to follow you. If you agree, you can connect at any time. If you don't agree, then withdraw."

The blond man looked at his son and spoke slowly.
