Chapter 172 - 5 Streams, 1 Source.

Considering that King Michael consulted this Wheat Grain Project a week earlier before he started the Chicken Egg Project, he wrote a Parchment and gave it to one of the Cargo delivery men who comes to claim the profit from the Iron Sword project, that team also brings the Swords from Pameres Kingdom for the Zamerian delivery team to pick up. So when they meet on the assigned day, the profit from last month's delivery is handed and the Swords for the next month are delivered. So he handed the Parchment to Pameres Kingdom's little delivery team, so they can hand this letter to King Zar!

It works to King Michael's advantage since he doesn't have to wait for a month or more to get another Parchment as a reply when it comes to forging some kind of potentially profitable deal. Because King Zar usually sends a messenger a day after if they aim to to handle this deal under a short period of time. To clear it out a bit, he requires King Zar's assistance on some deals or at least help narrowing them down, on the other hand Zar can be a potential Customer when it comes to ordering Chicken Eggs in large amounts, because he has been aiming to increase food options for his people. Tends to be difficult really since a lot of people there refuse to work, they are picky with work even though their financial situation is terrifyingly bad.

King Michael wanted to ask for help on both striking a deal with the Zamerians about the Chicken Egg project he had in mind (Which is now active.), plus he wanted to lend some Horses and Wagons for the Wheat Grain project. Rather a lot to ask considering that Pameres Kingdom might not get much out of these requests. So in aims of helping Pameres Kingdom too instead of just his own, he offered 10% of the Chicken Project's profit. A rather good deal considering that it's a side profit the Kingdom doesn't have to invest a cycling monthly budget on. 

What King Zar replied with however, tended to portray realism instead of making too many promises. To make it clear, he is more than willing to help though. "King Michael, I'm happy to see you trying to bring more streams of income towards your respected Kingdom. I think that your Chicken Egg project would prove quite profitable if more Domains were by our side, in Ignis it would be an easy earning since it's worth a lot and you don't have much genuine competition. You might have heard that I've sent a Governing Team to Bale Town. At the first chance I get, I'll ask them if they need imported eggs from yours truly. We will try to make this Project work here because with the Zamerians, specifically Lav Kingdom, I think it will be a bit difficult to reach some sort of deal considering they likely have a lot more Chicken farms than Ignis. When it comes to profit they get from Ignis, they look for cheap products that would sell double or more there, eggs likely have a price almost equal to what we can find in Ignis. But I will do my best to attain a deal for you! Apart from trying to work out a deal with Bale Town for you, I'd also like to place an order of Eggs. I'd like to make a permanent monthly flow of orders, this won't be temporary so you will have one stream to depend on even if it isn't that big! If you find it doable, I'd like to order 200 eggs each month for as long as both Kingdoms shall stand, I hope it isn't too much to provide. I'm willing to pay 20 Gold Coins per egg, since I plan to sell them for 25 here. I'm sure people would be willing to purchase one or two as a taste of luxury. If 200 is too much to provide, you can cross the number off of the Contract and turn it into something more possible for your Farm's rate underneath it. If you manage to provide more Eggs in the future, I'm more than willing to help you strike a deal with the Zamerians. If you can offer them to provide large orders, the chances of forming some kind of deal are of course bigger. Since you are looking for more streams of income, I'm willing to offer you 10% for a couple of offers I will propose to Lav Kingdom once our delivery team meets with theirs on the port. I offer 10% as a pay for the usage of your port of course. I plan to start a Tailoring business, if I manage to get a deal, 10% of this business is yours. It is the same concept about the Furniture making Business I lately established, your Kingdom will earn 10% of it too. I'm sure with 5 Streams of income coming from Pameres Kingdom itself, your Domain will further reach towards financial freedom. I'm more than happy that our Domains are working together, this is helping all of us progress. As for your Wheat Grain project, I can provide a few Wagons. I can get the Building Constructors to build a few for you to lend, that's the easy part of granting this request at least! As for now I will send a couple of Wagons with the messenger, It's all my Kingdom currently has with most being at Bale Town. The Horses however, your team has to wait a bit until we get them back from Bale Town, we can't build Horses after all. Your team is welcome to start their journey towards Pameres Kingdom once my messenger brings you this Parchment. I hope we can agree on a deal, let's help each others Kingdoms thrive." With this long message full of opportunities, came the Contract attached to it. In Fact, 3 Contracts! They all appear truthful and state Exactly what King Zar offered in the letter, except they are more detailed.

This deal seems more than amazing. Because with the ten Chickens only providing around 300 Eggs a month, this deal matches what Gaster Kingdom can provide on a monthly basis even if the Chickens don't manage to provide 300 Eggs. Plus King Zar even offers to work a deal for him with Bale Town, this just makes everything easier about this Project. Apart from that, Gaster Kingdom will be earning 10% out of two newly established businesses. This is profit that Gaster Kingdom doesn't have to invest expenses on, apart from that it can be more profitable compared to the other 10% they earn from the same domain. Specifically the one they earn from the Iron Sword Project.

But to King Michael it feels like Pameres Kingdom is mostly giving with little in return. So he decided to offer Pameres Kingdom a short lasting stream of income as a thank you for all the help they offered so far of which no other domain would even think of providing, however it might be a slow small income for their standards.

Cloth! This will be like fishing out two fish with one hook. It will help Pameres Kingdom to earn a bit more, plus he can gift his own people with something unique for once. Clothes are expensive in Ignis and definitely not common in Gaster Kingdom, so King Michael won't be able to sell any cloth here especially after considering the average salaries here, hence the word "Gift".

He wants to buy Leather Jerkins to all 435 people on this Kingdom without discriminating a single person (Including the Farmers.) bit even for the Calidum Lutum! That would require a lot more leather and would likely cost more, but King Michael is willing to pay without even asking for some sort of Discount.

These Gifts will be given as a reward for all the hard work his people have been putting in over the months even though they didn't get much in return. But King Michael wanted to set a limit of how much he can pay for one month, all he can afford is to send 4,000 Gold Coins a month even after the established income from the Chicken Egg Project, he has 180,000 Gold Coins in the budget too, but he can't risk throwing Gold at this order, so he made a rather unique request. All of the 435 Leather Jerkings will be delivered in the first month if possible, while the payment will be covered over the months depending on the total sum. It's not a deal every domain wants to work with, but it's still 4,000 Gold Coins stretched for at least 2 months.

As for the Chicken Eggs they need to provide, the timing worked to their advantage in many aspects. Since it will take a while for this Contracted deal to finally be active, the Kingdom will be more than ready to provide the order of 200 eggs when the time comes. For now, King Michael's primary task is to get the team ready for the Wheat Grain project.
