Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Chief, I'm Spencer who has done business with your tribe before." Spencer introduced immediately.

"Well, may I ask your Excellency Spencer to buy sheep this time? Or a draft horse?" Elsa asked straight to the point. She didn't want to be too polite with the human race, otherwise she would talk about it for a long time.

"This..." Spencer was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded, "Boss, it's not that I'm here to buy sheep and horses, but Mr. Niu Wu who is next to me wants to buy sheep. I'm just an introducer."

"Oh?" Elsa raised her eyebrows and looked at Niu Wu with her golden eyes. There was nothing special about that ordinary face, and she said lightly, "Where does Mr. Niu Wu come from?"

"Xiyang City." Niu Wu replied calmly.

"Xiyang City?" Elsa frowned, turned to look at the maid, and got a shake of her head, indicating that she had never heard of this city.

"Boss, Xiyang City is a city in the west, and the owner of the city is His Excellency Liu Feng, a very talented baron." Spencer quickly introduced, and in a few words, he revealed the general situation of Xiyang City.

"Oh, I see." Elsa nodded flatly, suddenly lost interest.

How many sheep can a little baron in a remote place buy? I'm afraid I won't buy two hundred of them. As for the talent of speaking, it seems that the human race likes to praise people exaggeratedly.

"Boss, Your Excellency Liu Feng also wrote you a letter." Spencer took out the letter from his pocket, handed it to the orc knight standing aside, and he handed it over.

"Oh, write me a letter." Elsa was surprised, looking at the letter the maid was opening. The maid opened it and handed it to her without danger. She took the letter and looked at it.

The general content of the letter is Liu Feng's words and deeds of goodwill, and also mentioned that he hopes to cooperate and buy a large number of sheep and draft horses from her.

Elsa read the letter quietly, put it aside casually, and asked her to comment on the letter. It can only be said to be boring and hypocritical. She knows the human race very well, and she can speak beautiful words, but her actual action is not satisfactory. .

"I read the letter, Mr. Niu Wu, what is the quantity of sheep and draft horses that your baron mentioned?" Elsa asked indifferently.

"Two thousand sheep." Niu Wu said seriously, knowing that the real negotiation had begun.

"Two thousand sheep, uh... Huh???" Elsa said silently, and then she realized, her golden eyes widened, and she asked in astonishment, "You mean two thousand sheep?"

"Yes, two thousand sheep." Niu Wu nodded affirmatively, and said calmly, "Two thousand sheep a month."

"What?" Elsa opened her mouth wide, looked at Niu Wu in disbelief, and asked in a shy voice, "Two thousand sheep a month?"

Is this a lot? For the tens of thousands of sheep in the orc tribe, it must not be many, but it is the largest transaction volume of the Elsa tribe.

"Yes." Niu Wuying said, these 2,000 sheep are regarded as a tentative transaction, and the number of sheep purchased, compared with the population of more than 10,000 in Xiyang City, is definitely not enough to last for a month.

"What about the price?" Elsa asked, if it was too low, it would be a waste of joy.

"Fourteen copper coins for a catty of mutton." Niu Wu quoted the price, which was about 10% lower than the market price.

"Fourteen copper coins!" Elsa closed her eyes and thought about it. This price is similar to that sold by other tribes.

What she was curious about was that this human race did not lower the price. Last time, a human race caravan came to discuss the business of buying sheep, and they lowered the price to ten copper coins per catty of lamb.

Is it really the same as what was said in the letter, is this nobleman named Liu Feng not discriminating against orcs? Or is there another plan?

"Boss, what do you think of this price?" Niu Wu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Okay, just the price of fourteen copper coins." Elsa said in a deep voice. She thought about it, and if the other party had any premeditation, it would be to pay the coins for the goods before allowing the sheep to leave.

Chapter 0452 Negotiations.

"Boss, please start killing the sheep tomorrow." Niu Wu sat up straight, and when he talked about it, the sheep business was concluded.

"Kill the sheep? Didn't you just take the whole sheep away?" Elsa was stunned, looking at Niu Wu inexplicably.

Other human race merchants transported the whole sheep away, and would not leave a hair in their tribe.

"No, there is no way to take away the whole sheep for the time being, only the meat." Niu Wu shook his head, their ships couldn't come over, so they had to kill the sheep to transport the meat.

"The viscera and sheepskin of the slaughtered sheep? What are you going to do with it?" Elsa asked. It is better to discuss the details clearly so as not to be caught by the human race.

"The viscera will be left to your tribe, and it will be used as the slaughtering fee. Please help store the sheepskin. Next year we will send a big ship to buy the sheep, and then transport them away together." Niu Wu said seriously.

Offal has a strong fishy smell, but it is a good thing for civilians who can't afford meat, but Niu Wu and the others are struggling to transport meat, let alone offal.

Moreover, it is very difficult for live sheep to be transported to Xiyang City alive. It is difficult for them to forage alone. Do they need to buy more forage? That would increase the cost too much, and it would be very troublesome to slaughter the froze-to-death sheep. Generally speaking, it is the most affordable to slaughter on-site and take the meat away.

"Oh? Will you come to buy sheep next year?" Elsa's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and it sounded like she was still coming by boat, which was good news.

"Yes, the young master has said that if the first cooperation is happy, we will continue to cooperate with your tribe, and next time we will buy more than 2,000 sheep." Niu Wu said seriously.

"The first cooperation will definitely be very pleasant." Elsa immediately said, if they can find a long-term buying caravan, they don't have to worry about the sheep they raise can't be sold.

"Of course, the next purchase quantity, etc., please ask the leader to talk to our young master in person. I can't make up my mind about this." Niu Wu took the opportunity to throw out the topic that the young master explained.

He knew that the young master wanted to talk to the leader of the orc tribe in person, and he had important business to be confirmed by himself. He was not qualified to be the master, and he didn't understand.

"Let me talk to Your Excellency Liu Feng in person?" Elsa frowned, thinking about her intentions.

"Yes, next year we need to buy at least 20,000 sheep. This amount is a bit huge, and I can't decide." Niu Wu lowered his head and said.

"Twenty thousand sheep?" Elsa opened her mouth, staring blankly at Niu Wu. She wondered if she heard it wrong? You must know that in her tribe, the number of sheep raised in a year is only about 50,000 to 60,000, and now she has to buy one-third of the sheep.

"Yes, this is the minimum amount. Please talk to the young master to find out the exact amount." Niu Wu said with a serious face.

"..." Spencer looked at Niu Wu speechlessly, he was thinking about why that young man with black hair and black eyes had such courage to open his mouth to buy 20,000 sheep.

"You're not kidding, are you?" Elsa raised her eyebrows, her golden eyes flickered, and said in a low voice, "To put it bluntly, your city lord is just a little baron. Can he afford to buy 20,000 sheep?"

"Hahaha……"

Niu Wu was stunned, then laughed loudly, "Boss, I think you made a mistake."

"What's wrong?" Elsa's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she wanted to see what she could say.

A little baron actually opened his mouth to buy at least 20,000 sheep, and asked her to talk to him in person? Just a Baron?

"My young master is not an ordinary baron. To put it bluntly, as long as my young master is willing, he is at least an earl now."

Niu Wu stood up imposingly, his voice full of sternness, "Boss, don't use other barons to judge our young master, it's an insult to him."

"..." Elsa raised her eyebrows, quietly looking at Niu Wu, who had completely changed, thinking about what kind of person could make her subordinates protect him like this.

"Bold, how dare you do this..." The maid was fine with it, and a small businessman dared to speak rudely to the princess.

"Let's not talk about it for the time being." Elsa waved her hand to tell the maid to shut up. She didn't want to ruin the business of the two thousand sheep.

If it was her in the past, if Niu Wu dared to talk to her like that, a whipping would be indispensable... But now she has to think about the tribe and restrain her temper a little.

"I was the one to be rude." Niu Wu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stepped down the steps for the other party.

"Mr. Niu Wu, what did you use to pay for the sheep?" Elsa asked indifferently. This is the most important thing. If it is paid with gold coins, she will arrange for someone to sneak into the human city to buy supplies.

"It depends on the leader's choice. If you want gold coins, we can settle the settlement on the spot. If you want goods to be deducted, we also brought some goods." Niu Wu said slowly, and finally arrived at the most important time of the day.
