System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 874: Chapter 272: Mistress (10,000 Words)

Lynn shifted his body, moving from the middle of the bench to the right side.

In doing so, he made ample space for Kari to sit down.

Kari didn’t mind.

She took a few steps and sat down next to Lynn.

Instantly.

A faint fragrance wafted from Kari’s body, drifting into Lynn’s nose.

Kari seemed to notice the slight sound of Lynn sniffing.

The corners of her mouth noticeably curved upward.

Lynn looked towards the truck convoy not far away and asked.

"Miss Kari, what kind of goods did you bring for me this time?"

Kari followed Lynn’s gaze and explained.

"Leather, a large batch of leather."

"On ten wagons, totaling fifty thousand pounds of leather."

"Master Lynn, you may not know, but to get this batch of leather, I even had disputes with other merchants!"

"Fortunately, I finally invoked the name of the Brown Clan, and that merchant slinked away."

Lynn slightly turned his head to look at Kari and said.

"It seems I owe Miss Kari a thank you."

Just as he finished speaking.

A glimpse of the snow-white cleavage outlined by the leather armor in front of Kari instantly caught his eye.

His height was already above Kari’s; even sitting on the bench, there was a height difference.

The view was almost fully captured by Lynn’s eyes.

Young, with a devil-like figure.

As a merchant, Kari would naturally showcase her inherent advantages.

If it was just once or twice, Lynn might not think much of it.

But every time Kari came to his land, she dressed like this.

The key is.

Even in the scorching sun now, Kari still took no precautions.

Unashamedly displaying her figure in his eyes.

Lynn couldn’t help but suspect.

Was Kari doing this on purpose?

Bright light gleamed in Kari’s eyes.

She said to Lynn, "Of course, Master Lynn."

"Imagine... it took me several months just to purchase this batch of leather!"

"If it were other goods, I could have easily purchased them from traveling merchants in Kakasong City or nearby docks."

"Within the same time, I could have made at least three trips to your place."

"The profits earned would be at least two or three times higher than leather!"

Lynn nodded, "Miss Kari, I certainly understand that."

"That’s why I previously mentioned I could offer you prices higher than the market rate!"

"The current market price for leather is five pence per pound; I can offer six pence!"

Even though he had constructed a ranch on his land.

The number of poultry and livestock in the ranch was increasing.

But it had not yet reached the scale for mass slaughter.

Within the territory, there was almost no fixed source of leather production.

While the sewing labor in the weaving workshop required large amounts of leather for each set of composite armor.

Used for making linings.

Or used to string together pieces of armor plate.

Even some large-scale equipment in the woodworker workshop and the crossbow production in the bow and arrow workshop required leather as a component.

Kari’s ability to go outside the territory.

To find and purchase leather was naturally beneficial to him.

But for Kari, finding goods required more time and effort.

Brightness shone in Kari’s eyes, her words full of praise.

"Master Lynn, you are indeed the most generous lord I know!"

Lynn was noncommittal.

The market price of five pence was not Kari’s wholesale purchasing price!

The price at which she bought from other merchants or lord’s slaughterhouse ranches was at most around four pence or so.

Even if Kari didn’t transport this batch of leather to his land but instead transported it to the market, she could still earn the profit from the price difference.

However,

She naturally couldn’t obtain a profit like exchanging six pence per pound of fine salt with him, priced nearly half the market price.

The profit from such an exchange was not simple!

If it weren’t for his open-pit salt mine.

If it weren’t for his salt factory producing four thousand pounds daily.

He wouldn’t have so much capital to ’splurge’!

Considering the price of fine salt transactions alone, Lynn naturally took a loss.

However.

He used nearly unlimited fine salt to trade for any items he needed.

Such an exchange would never be a loss for him.

Thoughts churned quickly in Lynn’s mind for the exchange.

"Fifty thousand pounds of leather, six pence per pound, that is One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Gold Pounds."

"Exchange it for fine salt, or give you One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Gold Pounds."

Kari’s rosy lips stretched into a smile, "Master Lynn, of course, it’s the fine salt."

Having traded so many times, Kari naturally knew that converting the transported goods into fine salt was most profitable.

Lynn nodded: "No problem, then it is sixty thousand pounds of fine salt!"

The light in Kari’s eyes became even more apparent.

Before Kari could speak, Lynn’s gaze shifted to George in the distance.

George, who had overheard the conversation between Master Lynn and Kari, nodded in understanding.

Without needing instructions from Lynn, he stepped forward towards the convoy of wagons.

Preparing to lead these wagons to the warehouse by the workshops for unloading.

Among the continuous rolling sounds of wagon wheels, the wagons departed from Lord’s Square one by one.

On the wooden bench.

Lynn and Kari remained seated.
