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 wine glass and took a sip. The flaming wine leaked from the corner of his mouth, slid down his pointed chin, and dripped on the two kilograms of meat in front of him.
Baron Harry Potter raised his glass to study the wine in the glass and replied: "We take what we can take, and you take what you can't take."
Ortiz calculated in his mind that Wesson's army would not stay and occupy the land for a long time, so they only wanted to make money.
The land is the most important thing. If the things on it are gone, they will grow back in a year or two.
"Population," Ortiz said, "population must be left to me."
Population is also an important resource and will not be replenished for a while.
Porter nodded and said: "No problem."
"I have a last question," Ortiz squinted slightly, "I heard that you have already cooperated with Sampaio, why do you still want to cooperate with me?"
Potter took a sip of wine as if he were taking a sip of fire.
"It's very simple." He said, "The family of Charles Smith who leads the business there is just a cook for Archduke Wesson. This man can only brag and can't do big things, so he is not able to command an army like me."

"My father and Archduke Wesson's father died in battle on the same day and in the same place. I studied with Archduke Wesson."
Ortiz's eyes lit up. It turned out that he was a close minister of Archduke Wesson. He was the type with a promising future. This kind of person could be solved as long as he didn't cause too big a problem.
"There is another most important reason." Porter said with a smile, "Sampaio is just an old man who is dying, and you are a beautiful lady."
Ortiz narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked, "So you are brave?"
Porter said confidently: "You're kidding, I'm super brave."
Ortiz took out a piece of paper soaked in a little wine and threw it over, asking: "Can you provide these within half a month?"
Porter took the note and read it over. There were ten motorcycles, fifty bicycles, and a lot of "Emperor's Water" and allicin injections and equipment on the list.
The so-called "Emperor's Water" is happy water. This is because Ferdinand drank two bottles before his death. This is what local businessmen in the Principality of Wesson preached.
These things are sold in the Kingdom of Madeira, mainly because of a certain Gu Knight and her family, and the prices are not low.
"No problem." Porter said, and then quoted the price according to his understanding.
"So low?" Ortiz looked incredulous, "Please give me a reason."
Potter thought to himself that the Shakespeare family seemed to have a dark heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Of course I have conditions, and I have to pay with food."
"These things are not easy to explain. I can explain that they were lost when collecting food."
"And..."
He looked directly at the other person with a slight smile.
"Food?" Ortiz thought.
After a while, she said: "There is no problem with food, just calculate it according to the current bulk food price."
"But it takes time for me to mobilize so much food, about ten days."
"You stay with me for fifteen days and teach my people how to use the magic medicine."
Porter nodded and said: "Okay."
"Who do you want me to help beat?"
Ortiz shook his head slightly and said: "No, His Majesty Doss will summon the nobles to the royal capital in two months. I will go back with these things so that I can seek a new territory far away from here."
Porter took another sip of wine and said, "It seems you want to stay away from the war." Ortiz nodded slightly, without any intention of denying it.
Porter said: "That's fine, I can't bear for a beauty like you to become my military medal."
"I have a proposal," his eyes became sharp, "I can give you twice as much and tell me what you know."
Ortiz asked him: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Seeing that she did not refuse, Porter smiled and said: "I can give you three times, you have to make sure it is true."
"If you lie to me, I can tell Archduke Wesson and suggest that he stop trade with your country and explain it to the merchants."
"I was just deceived by you. Not verifying the authenticity of the information was a matter for the higher ups. It is not a very important matter to me. The most I can do is get scolded by Archduke Wesson and pay for the hole myself. ”
According to the information provided by Archduke Suarez, the Ortiz family was the loser in the palace struggle. Ortiz's father died of depression within two years of arriving here. She has been wanting to leave for these years.
The only way to leave was to bribe the palace officials, so she needed the high-end goods that were in short supply in the capital.
Since Ortiz talked about whether the intelligence was true or false, then Frederick naturally had a stick in one hand and a beet in the other.
For nobles, the survival of their own family is the most important thing. If the king can get a good price, he will naturally sell it.
On this day, Count Ortiz announced that he would fast for two days at the monastery outside the city in order to return to the royal capital.
Frederick sent the letter back and followed him to the monastery.
At first, he thought he had arrived at a palace prepared for the king's personal expedition. It was not until a group of nuns in khaki robes walked out that he was sure that this magnificent building was a monastery.
Fasting begins with bathing.
Two nuns took Frederick to a small bathing room and took a piece of soap "Gifted by Mother Earth" from the altar.
Frederick saw a black line. This was obviously the sulfur soap produced by his family. How could it become a gift from the God of the Earth?
The two nuns chanted verses like singing, lit a light incense, and prepared hot water filled with flower petals.
This 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 compound during this period and try not to go out.
Two nuns put him into a khaki robe, took him to the courtyard, and then brought him today's lunch.
On top of the big bowl are potatoes, onions and carrots. According to the Earth God Cult, the root foods in the ground are gifts from Mother Earth, and you can only eat these during fasting.
Frederick didn't believe that the followers of the Earth God Cult were so pious, and the two nuns were not so serious just now.
He pushed aside the potatoes, and sure enough, they were all stewed venison.
A nun whispered to him: "Count Ortiz specially prepared it for you."
Frederick whispered: "It can also be prepared for you."
"Really?" The nun's eyes lit up. This man had been very serious just now, and he was different from the man his sisters had said before.
Frederick thought to himself, Potatoes had only appeared here a few years before they were absorbed into their own system by the Earth God Cult, as well as the sulfur soap just now. It seems that they are not stubborn old antiques.
As long as it's not an old antique, then business is not out of the question.
Frederick found that the potatoes in the bowl were not big, and they were obviously old varieties or degraded varieties.
As long as the money is available, he doesn't mind selling improved crop seeds to the Earth God Cult.
