Chapter 135 - 113: Entering West Trade, Building New Trade Routes

Chapter 135: Chapter 113: Entering West Trade, Building New Trade Routes Upon learning that the entire territory possessed a large iron ore deposit and a place producing agate, Thor had some thoughts.


Compared to the East and the North, the West is undoubtedly more prosperous, with more Noble Lords and Pioneer Lords. Only by establishing trade routes in the West can it be considered truly successful and bring greater profits.


Previously, he didn’t have a good opportunity.


He was not a Lord of the West.


Rash involvement could easily lead to various problems.


Making him dismiss this idea.


But when Tono appeared, everything was different.


Compared to him, Tono was already an established Pioneer Lord of the West, and using Tono as a bridge to enter the trade routes of the entire West would undoubtedly be much smoother.


And would not have too many problems.


And as long as he could engage in Western trade, the profits from the entire trade route would undoubtedly be enormous.


Without considering anything else, the profits from Black Iron Armor and Brass Armor alone could reach a terrifying figure.


Not to mention the Silver Armor and the possibility of successfully preparing Low-Level Life Potion in the future.


Besides income, using Tono as a bridge to involve his brother’s territory would help it further develop.


Although it was a short time of contact, Thor already felt that his brother’s territory had actually reached a certain bottleneck.


Unlike the East, even when Pioneer Lords and Noble Lords were considered, there were only about twenty in the entire Maine River Valley, but around the Danube River, there were hundreds of Pioneer Lords, not to mention other places having even more.


In such a situation, attempting to develop was undoubtedly very passive.


If not for the Sheep-headed Man wiping out this tribe, Tono might not have had the opportunity to develop further.


The construction of trade routes could slightly solve Tono’s problems in this area.


Of course, this is what he thinks, but it still depends on Tono and Barbus’s thoughts.


If these two have no ideas, Thor will not insist.


Currently, the thought of entering the West is not so urgent.


After all, he hasn’t fully digested the domains of the many Pioneer Lords in the entire Maine River Valley.


The road can be taken slowly, and future plans can be made gradually, there is no need to rush.


After speaking, Thor’s gaze turned to the two, waiting for their answers.


While Tono and Barbus fell into contemplation involuntarily.


The two were no fools.


They naturally understood the meaning in Thor’s words.


Yet this is not an easy matter to promise.


Trading is not simple trading.


In the entire West, the trade routes are truly controlled by those few top Noble Lords. Entering rashly could potentially lead to certain conflicts with a few top nobles.


If not handled well, it could lead to big problems.


But Thor’s words couldn’t help but tempt them.


Once the trade route construction relies on Silver Armor and various weaponry, their profits might increase tenfold or even more.


Tenfold, that is tenfold the profit.


Not only could they increase the number of knights in their territory, but their future breakthrough to Earth Knight would also become more likely.


"Phew!"


After a long time, Tono and Barbus exchanged a glance, and Tono took a long, deep breath.


"Thor, you might not know, but the trade routes in the West are mainly controlled by the Habbs Commerce Association, as well as by the Noble Lords Spencer and Campbell."


"They also produce some Silver Armor, if we rashly enter, I’m afraid!"


Tono spoke slowly, his expression carried a hint of gravity.


"I know, but what I need is not to compete with them."


"As far as I know, those two noble lords have established trade routes using an auction model in Loren City, regularly hosting auctions in their territories to attract Western Pioneer Lords; we don’t need that."


Thor shook his head, and then slowly explained his plans and thoughts.


As for the method, naturally, it is the commercial route construction model implemented by Rajos in the East.


Compared to the auction model, this kind of itinerant merchant is more suitable for Pioneer Lords.


After all, no one can guarantee safety when leaving their territory, or ensure their land wouldn’t be attacked once they leave.


Not every lord is willing to leave.


In comparison, bringing goods to where the territory is, although riskier, can avoid risks as long as there’s enough strength, and the price can be raised a bit.


Especially since the West is much richer than the East.


It can be anticipated that the gold coins to be obtained will only be more.


Listening to his words, Tono and Barbus’ eyes couldn’t help but light up.


"My brother, you are simply a genius!"


"This can indeed be done!"


Tono’s excited voice sounded, his eyes were shining.


"Indeed, Sir Thor, you truly are a genius!"


Barbus also couldn’t help but express his admiration.


Note that it was just a small change.


But the two understood how significant the changes brought about by this change would be.


The benefits contained within are enormous.


As long as the spread of Pioneer Lords is sufficient, it is foreseeable that the forthcoming harvest will be continuous.
