"A thousand cans? So many?" Boris exclaimed in his heart, doesn't this mean that Nalant has thousands of gold coins.
"Nalant Your Excellency, if there is really such a large amount, one gold coin per jar is slightly lower, but it can guarantee that the nobles will be willing to buy and use it!"
Boris understands Nalant's intention of setting a low price.
If there are only dozens or hundreds of cans of White Sugar, the selling price can indeed be higher, such as two or three gold coins per can, or even four or five gold coins per can.
But if you really do this, the nobles will definitely not be willing to use it on weekdays. After all, honey only costs fifty silver coins per jar, and it will take more time to sell all the thousands of jars White Sugar.
But if it is just one gold coin per jar, I believe the nobles will not be able to resist the temptation of White Sugar. After all, White Sugar is really more delicious than honey, but the price has only doubled.
"Sir Nalant, how are you going to sell these White Sugar?" Boris's heart moved again. His original goal was Brown Sugar Black Bread.
But now if we take this White Sugar, wouldn't it be better than Brown Sugar Black Bread?
Moreover, only the nobles can afford White Sugar, but the nobles are afraid of Land of Misfortune...
"Your Excellency Boris, since we are neighbors, I won't hide it. In fact, I am going to offer this White Sugar to my father for eighty silver coins a jar and let him sell it on his behalf." Seeing Boris take the bait, Nalant replied with a smile.
"This..." Boris's expression was a little stiff, and a glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart was dashed. However, he was a little unwilling to accept it, so he tried to speak, "Sir Nalant, I'm afraid you can't do this. The territory of Baron Andrew is too close to Tulip City!"
"The appearance of White Sugar will definitely attract the attention of many people. Over time, they will definitely be able to detect the clues. If they find out that White Sugar comes from Storm Territory, it is likely to cause their dissatisfaction with Baron Andrew!"
Although it was selfish, Boris did not deceive Nalant. If those nobles knew that White Sugar came from Land of Misfortune, some timid nobles might cause trouble for Andrew.
Even if Berick Family is simply isolated, Andrew will not feel comfortable.
"What Baron Boris said seems to make sense!" Nalant frowned and nodded, "This is not easy to handle! Should I ask my father to transport White Sugar to other Earl Territory for sale?"
"Sir Nalant, to be honest, if a White Sugar like you is not protected by enough strength, it will be very dangerous to transport it to other Earl Territory!"
"Then what should we do!" Nalant frowned even more.
Boris felt happy, his opportunity had come.
"Sir Nalant, why don't you give this White Sugar to me for sale! We are neighbors, and no one will be able to notice your White Sugar when it is shipped to me!".
"Furthermore, Your Excellency Nalant, I am willing to buy White Sugar from you for eighty-five silver coins per jar!"
"Is this... okay?" Nalant hesitated.
"Sir Nalant, of course it is possible. We are originally on the edge of Tulip Territory, and we don't need to pass through other territories when transporting White Sugar!" Boris followed the temptation.
After hesitating for a moment, Nalant seemed to have figured it out and finally said, "Sir Boris, I can hand over this year's White Sugar to you for sale, but I have a request!"
"Nalant, please tell me!"
"I hope Your Excellency Boris can sign an offensive and defensive alliance contract with me!" Nalant said slowly.
"Huh?" Boris was stunned.
The so-called offensive and defensive alliance contract is an alliance contract between vassals and small nobles!
Such contracts are particularly popular in certain unstable areas or on the borders of principalities.
Although many small nobles have their own lords who come to protect them when they are in danger.
But sometimes in the face of a sudden attack, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby. At this time, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
However, Nalant's proposal was really beyond his expectation. After all, although Storm Territory is on the edge of Tulip, the biggest threat is Dark Creature.
But the problem is that the arrival of Dark Creature is unpredictable. Black Rock Territory is one day and one night away from Storm Territory. If Dark Creature really invades and waits for them to go to support, the day lily will be cold.
Is it to prevent Quinte from becoming jealous and invading him?
Boris felt that he had found a somewhat reliable explanation. It was probably because Nalant had a conflict with Quinte's bitter illegitimate son about selling white salt, so Nalant needed to find himself as an ally.
"Okay! Your Excellency Nalant, as a neighbor who also belongs to Tulip Territory, I, Black Rock Territory, am willing to sign an offensive and defensive alliance contract with Storm Territory!" Boris made the decision immediately. If it was Dark Creature, he would not dare to fight, but if it was just Quinte, then he would not be afraid.
And this cooperation involves a thousand cans of White Sugar. Excluding the cost, these one thousand cans of White Sugar can earn him at least hundreds of gold coins, which is a lot of wealth.
Thinking of hundreds of gold coins, Boris immediately spoke without further ado, "Your Excellency Nalant, why don't we start signing the contract now!"
"Okay, Your Excellency Boris!" Nalant also felt happy.
His plan was finally achieved.
First of all, White Sugar is sold by himself. Now there is definitely no noble willing to buy it. The nobles are very precious about their lives. The fact that Boris can come to Storm Territory is already an anomaly.
Give up the profit of fifteen silver coins and sell this year's White Sugar so that you can develop your own territory. This is what Nalant is most urgent about.
Moreover, he understands that if anything is as good as the forest wind, it will be destroyed. Now it is very worthwhile to use Boris to block the gun.
What's more important is this offensive and defensive alliance contract. Others don't know when Dark Creature will attack, but Nalant has Nightmare Precognition...
Boris felt that he had taken advantage of him, Nalant just hoped that Boris wouldn't cry when the time came.
Next, both parties began to sign the contract on the spacious long table without moving anywhere.
There are two contracts in total.
One of the contracts regarding the sale of one thousand cans of White Sugar in the second half of this year stipulated that Nalant would provide at least two hundred cans of White Sugar to Boris at the price of eighty-five silver coins every month, and the price of White Sugar sold by Boris was not allowed to exceed one gold coin, and both parties must keep this matter confidential.
The second thing is the offensive and defensive alliance. No matter which territory is invaded by the enemy, the other party must provide full support!
After the contract was signed, Boris continued to chat with Nalant in the castle for a while, and then proposed to return to Black Rock Territory.
Nalant knew the situation in his territory and did not leave Boris overnight.
It was agreed that Boris's caravan would come to collect the first batch of White Sugar in a week, and he sent Boris to the gate of the castle.
"Nalant, thank you for your hospitality today! Then I will return to Black Rock Territory first! As for the black rock you need, I will have someone deliver it in a week!" At the gate of the castle, Boris smiled from ear to ear. After the contract was signed, the relationship between the two became closer, and they even omitted the suffix. After all, the age difference between the two was not much different.
"Okay, Boris, I wish you a safe journey!" Nalant also responded with a smile. As for the black rock, Nalant bought it from Boris, and he planned to use it to build new buildings.
Afterwards, Boris boarded the carriage directly, and his personal servant followed closely behind him holding a small clay pot.
Inside this clay pot is Nalant's return gift, a small pot of White Sugar.
