Karl exited the foundry, a confident stride in his step, with Leo following closely behind. "Let's take a look at the new structures," Karl said, as he walked towards the opposite side of the civilian industry, where the burgeoning military industrial complex was located.
On their way, Karl brought up a pressing question. "Leo, is our current supply of iron ores enough for the vehicle manufacturing?"
"It is more than enough, my lord," Leo replied with a nod. "We have raised the buying prices for iron ores from 10 bronze to 15 bronze per kilo. The Lupens, on the other hand, only buy iron ores from villages for 7 bronze per kilogram."
"That's quite small," Karl mused, mentally calculating the figures. "If we assume that a horse-pulled wagon can carry up to one tonne of ore and they fully load it, per trip they would earn 70 silvers. And that's not even taking into account that they need to hire mercenaries to guard their precious ores from bandits."
