Chapter 612 Sell it at a good price

"Baron Potter, what can I get and what can you give me?"

Count Ortiz slowly shook the glass and took a sip. The flaming wine leaked out from the corner of his mouth, slid across his pointed chin, and dripped onto the two pounds of meat in front of him.

Baron Harry Potter raised his glass and studied the wine in it, and replied, "We take what we can, and you take what you can't."

Ortiz figured that the Wesson army would not stay and occupy the land for long, so they only wanted the floating wealth.

The land is the most important thing. If the things on it are gone, they will grow again in a year or two.

“The population,” Ortiz said, “the population must be left to me.”

Population is also an important resource and cannot be replenished in a short period of time.

Potter nodded and said, "No problem."

"I have one last question," Ortiz narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard that you have already cooperated with Sampaio, why do you want to cooperate with me?"

Potter took a sip of wine, and it was like drinking a mouthful of fire.

"It's very simple," he said. "Charles Smith, who leads the business over there, is just the cook of Grand Duke Wesson. He can only brag and can't do anything big, so he can't command an army like me."

"My father and Grand Duke Wessen's father died in battle on the same day and in the same place. I studied with Grand Duke Wessen."

Ortiz's eyes lit up. It turned out that he was a close minister of Grand Duke Wesson, a person with a bright future. This kind of person could handle any problem as long as it didn't cause too big of a problem.

"There is one most important reason," Porter said with a smile, "Sampaio is just an old man who is about to die, and you are a beautiful lady."

Ortiz narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked, "So you are very brave?"

Porter said confidently: "Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay."

Ortiz took out a piece of paper that was slightly soaked in alcohol and threw it over, asking, "Can you provide these within half a month?"

Porter took the note and read it. There were ten motorcycles, fifty bicycles, a lot of "Emperor Water", allicin injection and equipment on the list.

The so-called "Emperor's Water" is happy water, thanks to the fact that Ferdinand kept two bottles of it before his death. This is how local merchants in the former Duchy of Wessen promoted it.

These things are sold in the Kingdom of Madeira, mainly by a certain Knight Gu and her family, and the price is not low.

"No problem," Porter said, and then quoted the price according to his own understanding.

"So low?" Ortiz looked incredulous. "Please give me a reason."

Potter thought that the Shakespeare family seemed to be quite evil-minded, so he smiled and said, "Of course I have conditions. I want to pay with food."

"These things are hard to explain. I can explain that they were lost when we were collecting grain."

"besides……"

He looked at the other person with a slight smile.

"Food?" Ortiz pondered.

After a moment, she said, "Food is fine. We'll calculate based on the current bulk grain price."

"But it will take time for me to gather so much food, about ten days."

"You stay with me for fifteen days and teach my people how to use the magic medicine."

Potter nodded and said, "Okay."

"Do you want me to help beat someone?"

Ortiz shook his head slightly and said, "No, His Majesty Doss will summon the nobles to the capital in two months. I will take these things back and seek a new territory far away from here."

Porter took another sip of wine and said, "It seems that you want to stay away from the war." Ortiz nodded slightly, without any denial.

Porter said: "That's fine. I can't bear to see a beauty like you become my medal of honor."

"I have a suggestion," his eyes became sharp, "I can give you twice as much, just tell me what you know."

Ortiz asked him, "Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Potter smiled and said, "I can give you three times as much, but you have to make sure it's true."

"If you lie to me, I can tell Grand Duke Weissen and suggest that he stop trading with your country and explain it to the merchants."

"I was just deceived by you. Not verifying the authenticity of the information is the business of the higher-ups. It's not a big deal for me. The most I'll get is a scolding from Grand Duke Wei Sen, and I'll have to pay for the loss myself."

According to the information provided by Archduke Suarez, the Ortiz family was the loser in the court struggle. Ortiz's father died of depression less than two years after arriving here, and she has been wanting to leave for many years.

There was only one way to leave, bribing important officials in the palace, so she needed high-end goods that were in short supply in the royal capital.

Since Ortiz is talking about the truth of intelligence, Frederick is naturally using a stick in one hand and a beet in the other.

For the nobles, the survival of their own family is the most important thing, so if the king can get a good price for it, they will naturally sell it.

On this day, Count Ortiz announced that he would fast for 20 days in a monastery outside the city in order to return to the capital.

Frederick sent the letter back and followed to the monastery.

At first he thought he had come to a palace prepared for the king to lead his troops in person, until a group of nuns in khaki robes walked out of it, and then he was sure that this magnificent building was a monastery.

The fast begins with a bath.

Two nuns took Frederick to a small bathroom and took a piece of soap called "Mother Earth's Gift" from the shrine.

Frederick was completely confused. This was clearly his own sulfur soap, so how could it become a gift from the God of Earth?

The two nuns chanted scriptures like singing, lit some light incense, and prepared hot water filled with flower petals.

The process seemed quite solemn and Frederick felt a sense of calm, as if his soul was sublimating.

Ortiz had agreed earlier that he would live in a small yard during this period and try not to go out.

The two nuns changed him into a khaki robe, took him to the yard, and brought him today's lunch.

There are potatoes, onions and carrots in the big bowl. According to the Earth God Religion, the root foods in the ground are gifts from Mother Earth, and only these can be eaten during fasting.

Frederick didn't believe that the followers of the Earth God Church were so devout. The two nuns were not so serious just now.

He peeled aside the potatoes, and sure enough, underneath was stewed venison.

A nun whispered to him, "Count Ortiz prepared this especially for you."

Frederick whispered, "It could also be for you."

"Really?" The nun's eyes lit up. This man had been very serious just now, and he was different from the man that her sisters had talked about before.

Frederick thought, potatoes have only appeared here for a few years, but they have been absorbed into the system of the Earth God Cult. And the sulfur soap just now, it seems that they are not stubborn old antiques.

As long as it is not an antique, then there is room for business negotiation.

Frederick found that the potatoes in the bowl were not big, obviously an old or degenerated variety.

As long as the money is in place, he doesn't mind selling the high-quality crop seeds to the Earth God Cult.
