Chapter 21 21 No Truth

I only heard Tang Mo continue to say: "So, naturally, I will buy some poor land, you get a profit, I get a benefit, and the soldiers at the bottom can also get money... Naturally, everyone is happy isn't it?"

"Well...you said that, so I understand." The mayor's expression eased a lot, he nodded slightly and praised Tang Mo, and said, "I've already seen that you are very sensible, and the future of young people is limitless."

You just heard that there was a fortune, so I became that young man with a bright future, right?Tang Mo contemptuously complained in his heart.

However, he still smiled, stretched out a finger, and promised, "I'll give you this number when the matter is settled!"

"..." Seeing Tang Mo's mouth shape, the mayor's little heart beat wildly involuntarily.That's a hundred gold coins!He wants to be greedy... No, he has to fight for a whole year to get so much gray income, okay?
Don't look at the fact that the Cyric consortium only gave Baron Stella a year's share of as much as 150 gold coins.The mayor of his small town can only earn 100 gold coins after a year of hard work.Now that he has the opportunity to double this income, can he not be tempted?

"Tell me more specifically, and see if I can help the Earl solve his problem..." the mayor said with something in his words.

"I'll go north to buy! Go to the direction of the vicious forest, how about buying wasteland and forest land over there?" Tang Motu saw his real intentions.

The mayor was taken aback for a moment, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Okay! I knew that since you spent money to get this job done, you must have a way to earn the money back..."

If it is for the fertile land in the south, and manors and the like, he cannot accept it.Because that is his profit, and it is also his bargaining chip to control the sheriff and the tax collector and let them support him.

But the land in the north is different. These lands are basically unable to grow food, and there is no way to cultivate them. It is not safe to be next to the vicious forest, so few people care about them.

This kind of land is idle, and if it can be sold for a large sum of money, he is turning waste into treasure, and he has reaped benefits that other mayors cannot.

He paused, pretended to think about it, and continued to agree to Tang Mo: "Yes, if it is the unowned land in the north, I can make the decision and sell them to the Earl."

While talking, he looked at the man dressed as an officer who stood behind Tang Mo and kept silent. After seeing that there was no dissatisfaction in the other party's expression, he knew that these soldiers seemed to be captured by Tang Mo. This cunning businessman was "bought".

This made him feel more relieved, because it meant that the people below were colluding and connected together.In this case, the nobles above will be deceived by their subordinates for a while most of the time.

"It's just!" But he still leaned towards Tang Mo, and pretended to ask a question that seemed to worry him: "If the Earl finds out, this matter..."

"You can rest assured... Lord Mayor." How could Tang Mo give him a chance to raise the price, and immediately assured him with confidence: "When the Earl loses North Ridge and escapes here...he still has the mood to find Is it our trouble?"

"Uh...hahaha!" The mayor was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.He pointed to Tang Mo, and praised with satisfaction: "Why didn't I realize that you are such an interesting person?"

"Tell me, how much does the Earl plan to spend to buy this piece of barren land... Ah no, to buy this piece of land?" After laughing wildly, he asked Tang Mo.

Hearing the mayor's question, Tang Men stretched out six fingers: "600 gold coins! Buy all the land between Bunas and the Vicious Forest!"

Tiger, who was standing by the side, was really convinced this time. Tang Mo started rambling and talking nonsense as soon as he came in. Until now, none of what he said was true!

Even Tang Mo's extremely sincere "six hundred gold coins" was actually a complete lie!

Because others don't know, Tiger knows it all!Tang Mo now only has about 500 gold coins to spend, so where can he find [-] gold coins to buy land?
How many gold coins does Tang Mo have?Or how much money does he have now?Let's do a simple calculation.

Logically speaking, he went to see Earl Rhonin Fisherlow and received a reward of 500 gold coins for the new weapon.Among them, he promised to give Weiss 400%, which means that he still has [-] gold coins left in his hand.

On the other hand, he also signed an agreement with the earl to sell the K1 quick gun. In this agreement, the earl purchased 1 K500 quick guns, and may purchase another 1000 guns in the future.

This deal also includes 1 rounds of ammunition for the K10 fast gun, and there is also a supplementary agreement that may purchase an additional 10 rounds of ammunition.

According to the price offered by Tang Mo, the total price of this batch of ammunition is actually quite a lot - just the K1 quick gun and its matching equipment cost as much as 7500 gold coins, including the 3000 gold coins for bullets, Tang Mo has 1 gold coins at a time. more than gold coins into the account.

In the past, such a large sum of money was enough for Tang Mo to support the entire workshop for a long, long time.

But in fact, this money is not Tang Mo's profit, it is only gross profit, not pure profit - the production of these munitions requires raw materials and labor costs, so Tang Mo's actual income is actually discounted.

Even so, this is already a very considerable income.But Tang Mo actually got more than 1100 gold coins so far.

Previously, Tang Mo brought back less than 600 gold coins from the Earl. Then the Earl put together another sum of money and sent it to Tang Mo.

According to the letter sent by the earl along with the gold coins, the earl will raise another 1000 gold coins and send them to Bunas in ten days.

However, after the 1000 gold coins, the earl could not find any more gold coins in a short time, and most of the remaining money would not be paid until a month later.

Of course, even so, Tang Mo couldn't get 1 gold coins - most of the money was actually converted into goods and paid to Tang Mo in the form of repayment of debts.

These included the grain, leather, wood, coal, and steel that Tang Mo returned with.It also includes the food, meat, wood, coal, and steel that Northridge will supply to Tang Mo in the future!

So, Tang Mo looks very rich now, but in fact, he doesn't have much money at his disposal.

There was no way to do this, because Earl Fischero was not greedy, so he couldn't afford that many gold coins for a while, so Tang Mo naturally couldn't get all the money for the goods at once.

Tang Mo was actually quite content, being able to bring back more than 1000 gold coins in one go had actually greatly exceeded his expectations.

Over time, this money has actually been consumed a lot.On the one hand, Tang Mo also purchased a large amount of steel and grain from the port, as well as a large amount of leather and bristles.

In addition to recruiting construction workers, buying construction materials, acquiring some nearby land, and paying wages to his workers-he has already spent about 300 gold coins.

Of course, he can’t spend all the remaining gold coins, because he needs to reserve about 300 gold coins to hire teachers, build schools, build new factories, and purchase more steel raw materials in the future.

Therefore, the funds he can use are only around 500 gold coins.Considering that some gold coins are reserved to deal with possible risks, there may only be 300 to 400 gold coins that can be spent unscrupulously.

That sounds like a lot, but it's definitely not a lot.Compared with the large piece of land he wants to buy, the money is actually a bit stretched no matter how you look at it.

The mayor over there didn't know this. He heard that Tang Mo, who was taken advantage of, came to help the Earl buy a large piece of wasteland, and he had already started to think about how much he could get from this deal.

Afterwards, the two began to discuss the specific area of ​​the land. After all, the gold coins in Tang Mo's hands were not enough to directly buy all the land between Bunas and the Vicious Forest.

Therefore, it is necessary to discuss specifically where to go or not to go.Tang Mo is very familiar with this generation, and the mayor also knows it well, so the two of them sketched on the map and quickly decided on the size and location of the land.

Tang Mo wasn't picky about the quality of the land, he wanted the land to build a factory and expand production capacity.Therefore, he only needs a piece of land next to his weapon workshop. Because it is barren, the area can really be described as huge.

After pondering for a while, the mayor raised his head, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! We can sign the land sale agreement immediately!"

"Wait!" Sure enough, it was impossible for Tang Mo to come up with 600 gold coins, so he naturally stopped the mayor who wanted to get up to draft a land purchase contract and eat Tang Mo, a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered. .

"Huh?" The mayor frowned and looked at Tang Mo.

"My lord, part of the earl's gold coins is still on the way... So, I will pay you the other half of the gold coins after ten days!"

"What am I supposed to do! You can write an IOU! If the gold coins are not available at that time, our contract will be void..." the mayor waved his hand openly and said.He has no reason not to agree to this kind of thing. If Tang Mo can't pay the final payment, he will take back the land and get a few hundred gold coins, which will naturally make him more profitable.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, he immediately showed a greedy smile: "However, if you are the one who breached the contract, half of the purchase price paid in advance will not be refunded!"

"Of course! It's very reasonable!" Tang Mo didn't intend to default on the 300 gold coins at all, so he extended his hand with a smile, shook hands with the other party, and said the words he was very familiar with: "Have a nice cooperation!" !"
