Baron Madsen had already seen Baron Claude\'s men and horses and knew that there was a conflict between him and Craig munchke, but the old fox didn\'t want to intervene in their affairs, and even was very happy to see the fight.

Until it was confirmed that Baron Claude Sai had gone far, Madsen came to the door of the manor, pretended that nothing had happened and reminded Li Nong to pass the news for him.

There was no need for communication at all. Manda stood less than a hundred steps away from him.

"Baron, I\'ve been waiting for you for a long time." Manda greeted the Baron with a smile, holding the injured Silva. He made an appointment to meet Baron Madsen today, so he was not surprised by his arrival.

Seeing the mess around and looking at the bruised Silva, Madsen pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. munchke, what happened here? Your housekeeper was injured? Did you meet a robber?"

Although he was badly hurt, Silva did not lose the demeanor of the housekeeper and still showed a polite smile: "Baron, it\'s no big deal. I\'ll ask someone to lead your horse."

Manda sighed and said, "Baron Claude Sai has just come. I don\'t know what\'s wrong with him. He has to come to me to find his son."

"If someone else, I may really don\'t understand, but Baron Claude Sai\'s doing such a thing doesn\'t surprise me at all. I really don\'t know how to describe him. Take your housekeeper to cure the injury first. Don\'t care about me. I\'m not the first time to come. I\'ll wait for you directly in the hall."

Settled in, Silva, Manda came to the hall, exchanged a few words with Madsen, and began to make complaints about Claude.

Madsen came here to talk about business: "Claude Sai is a madman, an ignorant and arrogant madman, but this madman has a good father-in-law, Lord Pedros. You have seen him. He is the former owner of this manor. He is the best businessman in Tieshan town. He is richer than the viscount. Guess what kind of business does he do?"

Manda thought for a moment and said, "as far as I know, he has many iron kilns and more than a dozen blacksmiths."

"Do you think you can make so much money from that business?"

Manda was stunned, which really stopped him: "in Tieshan Town, what is more profitable than the iron business?"

Madsen smiled, "did you buy salt at the market?"

"My housekeeper bought it."

"Do you know the price?"

"I haven\'t noticed."

"You are rich and don\'t care about this little money, but ordinary people are different. A farmer\'s family needs to buy at least two silver coins of salt a year, just a small bag. It can\'t use 40 copper coins in other places."

The price of salt here is five times that outside? Manda really doesn\'t know about it. Although the original owner lived in Tieshan town for 12 years, he never had the experience of buying salt in his memory. This is not because of his special status. Manda has the same status as a servant at home and often goes shopping in the market.

Combined with Madsen\'s words just now, Manda has some inference that Lord Pedros is selling salt.

Unfortunately, his inference was not accurate. Madsen drank and said, "he is not just selling salt. Pedros knows several big salt merchants in blue bay. Those people sell salt to him at a low price. All the salt in Tieshan town comes from him."

No wonder Baron Claude Sai never buys salt. It turns out that his father-in-law has monopolized the salt market in Tieshan Town, and his son-in-law naturally doesn\'t lack salt.

But why don\'t other nobles do salt business? Besides Viscount sorense, there are three barons and seven lords in Tieshan town. Aren\'t they greedy for money?

Madsen shook his head helplessly and said, "I said, Claude Sai is a madman. If we dare to rob his business, he will dare to burn our house. He has four knights and some guards who have fought. No one wants to offend those outlaws."

Thinking of the combat effectiveness of those guards, Manda couldn\'t help laughing. These shrimps and crabs would scare Madsen like this, which shows that Madsen\'s strength is not very good.

No, even if the nobles were frightened, was Viscount sorense frightened?

It\'s impossible. Sorense had a war with the valley. He also lost a son. Manda knows him.

In order to consolidate his rule, he has been trying his best to weaken the power of other nobles in Tieshan Town, but his own strength is not weak. He can form an army of hundreds of people at any time. As long as he takes any action, he can level the two families of Claude Sai and Pedros. Why should he tolerate the arrogance and hegemony of these two families?

"Because it\'s profitable," Madsen smiled. "Pedros will contribute half of the income from selling salt to the viscount. He makes money everywhere, and the Viscount is too lazy to deal with those salt merchants."

"You want to make this money too?" Manda added a glass of wine to Madsen.

Madsen shook his head and said, "it\'s not me, it\'s us. I spent more than a year making friends with several salt merchants. They will sell me cheap salt, but it\'s inconvenient for me to do business in person. I don\'t want to conflict with Claude. I think you\'re a brave man. A lot of gold coins are waiting for us. It depends on whether you dare to reach out for them."

Manda is very interested in this. Although he has more than 20000 gold coins, there are more than 150 teenagers waiting for him to cultivate in the manor. The cost of entering and upgrading is very huge, so it\'s not a way to eat nothing.

Moreover, hollowing out the property of "father" and "grandfather" is what he is willing to do.

Manda nodded gently: "some things have to take risks, but it depends on how the interests are divided. It should be the Viscount\'s, after all."

"That\'s right," Madsen thought Manda was very good. "We\'ll pay half of the capital. The Viscount\'s 50% is still the same, and the remaining 50% is 30% for me and 20% for you. Is it a deal?"

"Twenty percent is a little less," Manda said. "I\'m the one facing the madman."

"Don\'t be so greedy, young man. I spent a lot of money to win over the salt merchants," Madsen said, putting down his glass, "If you\'re willing to promise, I\'ll ship the salt in two days. We have to start as soon as possible. As far as I know, Pedros is also going to transport a batch of salt to Tieshan town. We must sell it cheaper and faster than them, otherwise the vendors in the town won\'t buy our salt."

Manda thought for a long time and said, "don\'t you meet robbers so far from transporting salt from blue bay to Tieshan town?"

"I dare to do this business. Naturally, I\'m ready," Madsen said with a smile. "I\'ve chosen the route. There won\'t be big thieves and mountain bandits on the road. As for some small thieves, just bring more guards at that time. They don\'t dare to make the idea of a caravan."

Manda shook her head and said, "we won\'t meet robbers, but Lord Pedros is hard to say."

"This is even more impossible. They have been running this business for decades. How can they..."

Madsen suddenly stopped and saw Manda\'s strange smile. He seemed to understand something: "you mean, Pedros\'s caravan may have an accident?"

Manda nodded and said, "I think Lord\'s good luck has run out."

Madsen whispered, "are you sure that Claude will send soldiers all the way?"

Manda smiled, "as long as you are familiar with their route, I believe bad luck will find them."
