"Don't take any action for now. I need to return to the family to discuss our stance on Krober Amethyst Rose."
"Remember! Don't act rashly during this period. Wait for me in the tavern. Got it?"
Luke was afraid that something might happen to his servant, so he quickly gave him a few more instructions.
"Yes, sir, I will obey your orders."
The thin servant accepted Luke's order firmly and promised that he would never step out of the tavern during this period.
Luke nodded in satisfaction at this, then turned around and returned to his residence. After packing his luggage, he prepared to return to his family.
At this time, Knight Foster was still meticulously carrying out Krober's mission.
He bought at least six thousand slaves from several slave traders, but it would take some time for these slaves to be delivered to Black Feather Island, and only a few hundred could be delivered at the moment.
So Foster only paid the price of those few hundred people and part of the deposit, and most of the remaining money was used to buy food.
Given the large quantity, Foster mainly purchased food that was easier to store.
For example, oats, wheat, corn kernels, etc.
This kind of food is generally cheaper, so the gold coins Foster spent on food were much lower than he imagined.
Foster used the money he saved to buy some livestock, such as cows, sheep, and chickens.
The choice of these three was made by Foster after careful consideration.
Among them, cows can produce milk, which is rich in nutritional value.
Wool can be spun and used to make clothing.
Chickens can lay eggs, which increases food diversity and reduces food consumption.
Foster spent all the remaining gold and silver coins, leaving the balance for the slaves. In exchange, he received enough food to feed 10,000 people for more than half a year, as well as some tools and poultry.
Oh yes, and those 6,000 healthy adult slaves.
Thanks to Foster who has been spreading the news about Kroeber's discovery of a new island and his promotion to Viscount.
After learning about this, the forces behind these merchants lowered the prices of various commodities significantly. Otherwise, he would not have been able to purchase so many slaves with only a little over 100,000 gold coins.
Most of the supplies cannot be delivered yet. After all, Heiyu Island is just a small island and cannot handle so many supplies at once.
So Foster signed an agreement with them to transport the purchased supplies to Black Feather Island in batches within seven days, and provide free ships to help Krober's soldiers transport the supplies to Amethyst Island.
In this process, the loss of ships was borne by Kroeber's side.
