When Liu Feng arrived at the living room, he looked at the bloody corner of Tory's mouth, and his eyelids twitched. Thinking of the report that Niu Ben had just given him, he couldn't help but have the urge to laugh.
"Mr. Torrey, please sit."
Liu Feng waved his hand to let Torrey, who had stood up to salute, sit down and ordered for more refreshments.
"Thank you, Baron Liu Feng!" Tori bowed again and then slowly sat down. He accidentally pulled the corner of his mouth, causing his face to tremble in pain.
Torrey looked at the exquisite pastries on the table and resisted the urge to attack. He could not lose the face of the nobles of North Wind City.
"This time, we have to thank Northwind City for their generosity and willingness to open up the wheat for us to buy.”Liu Feng held the teacup and took a sip. His behavior was becoming more and more aristocratic.
"This is a win-win situation. Baron Liu Feng, please don't take it to heart.”Tori said seriously.
Now, he did not dare to underestimate this noble Liu Feng at all. From the moment he entered the castle until now, all the details showed that his current living standard was very superior. It was at least dozens of times better than that of the nobles in North Wind City.
As for the lives of the commoners, Tory did not care at all. Wasn't the common people providing for the nobles?
He thought about the butler called Niu Ben, who was wearing better clothes than him. Baron Liu Feng's clothes were even more noble, and he had never seen the style before.
"So, Mr. Torrey, what business do you have this time?”
Liu Feng went straight to the point. He didn't have time to argue. There was a good show to watch tonight. He had to personally go through some preparations in advance.
The main event was coming. Tori tried his best to sit up straight. Of course, in Liu Feng's eyes, his entire body was his waist.
"Baron Liu Feng, my father, the lord of North Wind City, hopes that you can open up the fur trade in Xiyang City.”
Before Liu Feng could reply, Torrey continued," Of course, our North Wind City will continue to open up the trade of wheat for you. Our North Wind City's wheat has already piled up like a mountain, enough to last for two years.”
Northwind City was a city close to the river, so there were many fleets. They often went to other cities to trade.
Liu Feng believed that North Wind City could produce two-year-old wheat. However, the fur trade made him think of something, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
"Oh? Fur trading is not a big problem. I can agree to it.”
Liu Feng agreed. Apart from keeping the fur warm and making it into clothes, the most important thing was that it could be made into leather armor, leather armor for war.
Xiyang City was one of the cities closest to the Imprisoned Mountain Range. The Imprisoned Mountain Range had nothing but wild beasts.
The hunters in the territory would hunt many wild beasts every year. They would be skinned and sold. After the fur was tanned, they would be sold at a high price.
"Really?" Tori was stunned. He thought that he would have to pay a price to make the other party agree. He did not expect him to agree so easily.
"Mr. Tori, there is nothing else in Xiyang City, but there is some fur. It can generate income for the people, which is a good thing.”
Liu Feng chuckled. The main thing he didn't say was that he didn't care about leather armor at all. He already had steel, so there was no need to make leather armor that wasn't durable.
Moreover, from this point, he could also see that North Wind City's business was not optimistic. They actually came directly to buy fur, just like most nobles who secretly bought military supplies.
Tory frowned. He was wondering if there was a conspiracy. As long as it was a knowledgeable noble or even a businessman, they knew the importance of superficial knowledge.
No matter which city it was, it was forbidden to sell fur in large quantities. There were even some cities that directly banned the sale of fur, and all of them were collected by the city lord himself.
Of course, the fur mentioned here was the kind that could be made into leather armor, such as wild boar skin, rhinoceros skin, and so on.
"Baron Liu Feng, do you have any requests?”That was the only thing Tory could think of. The other party had a request.
"Oh?" Liu Feng was slightly taken aback before the corners of his mouth curled up." Of course, our Xiyang City needs more wheat, and even some cows, sheep, and horses. Of course, we just need to give them some young ones.”
" That's all??" Tori was even more confused. He didn't quite understand such a request.
It was understandable for young horses to grow up to be warhorses, but cows and sheep were all livestock that had been killed for meat.
How many months would it take to raise a cow, and then kill it to skin it and make armor? It was better to buy other furs, such as wild boar fur.
The fur of a sheep was very good at keeping warm, but the meat was too fishy. Only the lowlifes liked to eat it.
"Yes, that's all!"
Liu Feng understood that all the people who thought like Tory, even Niu Ben was no exception. He even said that beef wasn't very delicious.
Therefore, he almost laughed to death. The cow was actually raised as a pig to eat meat and then asked for that little bit of fur.
Liu Feng thought about the standards of this era. It was understandable that they would do this. The commoners did not have any horses or cattle to farm. They could only farm by hand.
In an era where even ironware was not widespread, many people used hoes made of stone to farm. They cleared the land one by one. The yield of wheat planted in that way was naturally terrifyingly low. How could they not starve to death?
In Liu Feng's territory, there was no lack of fur, but these three animals were lacking. There was no need to talk about cows. They were only found in the inland. It was said that they came from afar and were very rare.
He wanted to put a ring on the cow and turn it into a ploughing cow. Then, he would get the plow out and add a hoe made of iron. He would also bring some improved seeds from Earth.
Next year, Liu Feng's territory would be able to bid farewell to the famine and no longer need to buy wheat from North Wind City.
