Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Beyond
Millie said: "These things are also in short supply among the human nobles, and they are not worrying about the market at all. I am curious, do you only buy or sell?"
It's just that food is not enough, they also need weapons and armor for war, and salt is also an essential material.
The centaurs are natural herdsmen, and the grassland elves are indeed very comprehensive, but the weapons they produce are all high-end products, which cannot be equipped on a large scale.
As for the rich mineral deposits on the North Wind Prairie, I'm very sorry, even if they knew about it, they couldn't mine it, because they didn't understand it at all.
This is one of the reasons why the Ottoman kingdom wanted to attack them.
Now the Ottoman Kingdom is doing its best to crack down on the human caravans that smuggle supplies to the horses and grassland elves, making weapons and salt in the grassland more and more scarce.
If it weren't for the wise men among the grassland elves who proposed to reserve salt, the grassland would have been in chaos long ago.
So they must find new sources of supply as soon as possible.
This was indeed beyond Aslan's expectation, but it was just in line with his goal.
"I have a lot of goods, very miscellaneous! I don't know what you want to buy? Don't doubt the source of my goods. It is really disgusting to do business with the human race, but I have to admit that their goods are the most complete. Only we can't think of them. Without them, we can't sell them. "Aslan said very confidently.
"Salt and weapons!" Millie looked at Aslan deeply.
Aslan sighed lightly, and said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It is indeed a bit embarrassing. Human nobles control these things very strictly."
"I have to go back and discuss with them, but the price may be more expensive."
Millie nodded, expensive is normal, they have long been used to this kind of exploitation.
"Mr. Aslan! The works of art and magic props produced by our tribe are very famous." Millie also began to sell their tribe's products.
Ji Guduo next to him was anxious, his things haven't been sold yet?
Food is scarce on the grassland recently, and they have killed a lot of livestock. In order to prevent the meat from spoiling, they have to ask elf magicians to help freeze it every day. It is very troublesome, but it is good to be able to do it this morning.
"Wait! Ms. Millie, wait until my meat is processed." Kiguduo said hastily.
Millie agreed after a moment's thought.
"I don't know if Aslan wants raw meat, that is, the kind of raw meat that has been slaughtered and divided?"
Aslan nodded and said, "Frozen Mongolian beef is fine, I guess those human elders will not be used to it."
Gareth and Belmode, who were next to them, were thinking at the same time, seeing that you are not used to eating well, why are you not used to it?
"Then how much raw meat do you want?" Ji Guduo asked nervously.
Aslan asked curiously.
"How do you sell your meat?"
"One catty of meat is exchanged for three catties of grain." Ji Guduo replied.
"The bones and internal organs too?" Aslan asked with a serious face.
"Of course not. The bones are fine. We throw away most of the internal organs." Ji Guduo shook his head and said.
Aslan nodded, and said in thought for a while.
"I want meat, bones, and offal. Let's set the price at one to two!"
"Both bones and viscera." Ji Guduo blinked and nodded happily.
The meat yield of a cow is about 40%, and the remaining 5% is completely useless. As for the internal organs and bones, they are almost thrown away as garbage on the grassland. Make money or lose money.
"We have tens of thousands of catties of raw meat here in Fengcheng. As for the internal organs and bones, we don't have them. We need to bring them after the slaughter next time." Ji Guduo said with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Deal! I don't know if there are any live livestock, such as cows. The price is guaranteed to satisfy you. I heard that the lords in the Melo region like to drink milk very much, and have been buying cows at high prices." Aslan said solemnly, The faces of other people were different.
Kreuzer almost couldn't help laughing, but was stepped on by Wulusi before he could hold it back.
"Indeed, the price of live livestock is different from that of raw meat. This needs to be discussed with the leader of my Hui tribe and Khan." Ji Guduo said seriously.
"And the wool?" asked Aslan nervously.
Cotton has not yet been discovered in the Kingdom of Cleveland, so in winter, most of the warm clothes are mainly animal skins, or a few more clothes.
Because of this, once it snows every winter, many people will freeze to death.
Wool is Aslan's warm clothing for winter.
"Wool do you want? What about sheep?" Kigudo asked.
Millie suddenly came to her senses, and looked at Aslan thoughtfully.
"We don't sell sheep, we have as much wool as we want." Millie said decisively.
Aslan couldn't help showing disappointment on his face, and at the same time, he was secretly wary of this woman, Millie. It was obvious that his behavior was too obvious just now, and she saw something strange.
"I'll bring that wool next time I come here. You can decide whether to buy it after you have seen it!" Ji Guduo said with an apologetic smile.
Obviously, because the relationship between the two parties is no longer the trade relationship at the beginning, Ke Guduo's attitude towards Aslan is also very generous.
In fact, if it wasn't for the presence of the prairie elf, Millie, Aslan would have been able to fool the 'big brothers' of the centaur tribe into giving him things on credit first, and then he would pay in installments.
Aslan nodded. As for the goods that Millie took out, he just glanced at them and was not interested.
The artworks of the grassland elves do have the characteristics of the elves, but they are not very popular for the human race. In terms of artwork, the human race has not lost to the elves after years of development.
Nowadays, the artworks of the elves are only interested in some special collectors, and the market is too small to sell.
The only thing that interested Aslan was the blankets woven by the prairie elves. They were colorful and had different patterns. Putting them in the hall and bedroom could indeed add a lot of color.
"Except for the blanket, I'm really sorry about the other things." Aslan said lightly.
Millie subconsciously said: "Impossible, these things are very popular even in the Ottoman Kingdom. Don't tell me you deliberately wanted to lower the price because I just interrupted."
Aslan looked at Millie like an idiot.
"The Billy region is next door to the Merlot region. Many of my main trade lords are from the Billy region. I have even been to Billy City. The magic sanctuary recognized by the province of Merlox may not be as good as the legendary magic. All, but compared to us alien races, whether it is academic research or magic alchemy, they are far superior to us. The human race has been the overlord of the continent for so many years and has controlled the resources of the entire continent for so many years. We can no longer look at them with the same eyes as before. .”
Hearing Aslan's words, Kruse and the others looked bewildered and proud.
