"I see, they must have been deceived by that lord, as long as I tell them my true value, those barbarians will definitely leave him, then our chance has come!" Owen walked around the tent excitedly, his expression seemed to have taken more than thirty powerful barbarian warriors under his command.

"I'm so stupid, no wonder Johnson ignored my conditions along the way, it turns out that they don't know the difference between silk and linen, they should have thought of it a long time ago!"

"Ahem, sir, we're in that noble lord's territory right now, and it's seeming—" reminded the leader of the mercenaries named Alec.

"Yes, it's still his territory. Owen, who reacted, finally stopped, but the excited expression on his face couldn't be hidden. There was a constant glint in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was planning.

......

Early the next morning, Owen handed over a carriage of materials to Su Lun as taxes, and Su Lun accepted it directly without refusing.

After paying the taxes, Owen asked their caravan to rest in the city for two days before leaving, to which Suren agreed.

Commanding the slaves to carry the materials on the wagon and send them to the warehouse, Su Lun also checked it when he entered the warehouse, and the cart was full of grain, which was good news for Su Lun.

Because of the rapid increase in population, his food stock here is already insufficient, such a carriage can carry a thousand catties of supplies, a thousand catties of grain may not be a lot in Carthusian City, but here, the value of a thousand catties of grain has increased at least tenfold.

There are not many types of trade in the wasteland, tea, cloth, salt, etc., the most popular is ironware, grain is not the most profitable, Owen They carry so much grain mainly because the centaur tribe requires that there must be a certain percentage of grain and iron tools in the goods used for trading.

Originally, the centaur tribe was not short of food, but they have been at war with an orc tribe for the past few years, and the food is naturally not enough, if it weren't for the caravan transporting a large amount of food every month, the centaur tribe would not be able to survive for a long time.

Now that they are holding on, it is their turn that the orc tribe is now uncomfortable, the long war has left them with a lack of food, from the beginning they are evenly matched, and now they are barely holding on.

On the second day after the barbarian women and children came to the territory, Suren began to allocate houses and land to the barbarians, and fifty or sixty houses had been built in the camp, and although the houses made of mud mixed with reeds were not pretty, they were quite comfortable to live in, much better than the houses of the barbarians' previous tribes.

Thirty-five barbarian warriors, each family was given a house, in addition to these, there were a few Sulun who only had women and children left, and they were also given houses, although there were no war merits and no points, but they could be owed first.

In addition to the houses, each family was allocated twenty acres of land, and thirty acres of wasteland were also given to cultivate. As for those bison, they also need battle merits or points to redeem. Of course, now the battle merit or lack of points can also be owed first. Soon more than a hundred bison were allocated, and more than thirty were allocated.

Su Lun also rewarded those mercenaries with land, but compared to the barbarians, it was much less, most of them were about five acres, after all, this mercenary had limited combat achievements, and as for the points obtained from working every day, there were very few points.

After acquiring the land, the mercenaries were also very happy, although the mercenaries' days seemed to be very chic, and in the mouth of some bards, the mercenaries' adventures were magnificent, but in reality, most of the mercenaries did not have a good time.

Many of the mercenaries in the stratum have no land, no money, and no legitimate occupation, so in the end they can only go to the profession of mercenaries who lick blood, and of course, many of them become robbers. If there was land to plant, many mercenaries wouldn't do it at all.

In the Florentine Kingdom, the land had already been allocated, and the rest of the land, except for some yeoman farmers, had basically been divided among the nobles. As the population grew, landless peasants had to leave their hometowns and work in the cities.

They have no skills, most of them have become coolies or mercenaries, and now that they have obtained the land, these people are naturally unwilling to go to that kind of life of licking blood from the head of the knife, and it is foreseeable that these mercenaries will become the first free people in Suren's territory.

While Suren was busy allocating land to the mercenaries, Owen also began to secretly contact those barbarians, most of whom had a bold personality and a big grin, and after facing Owen as a long-sleeved businessman who was good at dancing, he quickly had some good feelings for him.

After gaining initial trust, Owen began to tell the barbarians what kind of treatment should be received for a warrior as powerful as them. And promised that if they were willing to follow them back to the Kingdom of Florence, all of this could be fulfilled.

It's just that to his disappointment, those barbarian mercenaries were not interested in what Owen said about knighthood, aristocratic treatment, and so on, and directly rejected his offer. This was completely unacceptable to Owen, and of course he did not give up, but instead went to contact the other barbarians.

The result was exactly the same as before, and all the barbarians rejected Owen's solicitation, which he did not expect.

"Damn, what the hell is going on?, why did I make things so clear, those barbarians still don't want to cooperate with me!" Owen said angrily in the tent of the caravan station, and the other mercenaries around him looked at each other a few times, but no one answered.

"Sir, are these barbarians not trusting us?" said one of the men who looked like a man from a trading house.

"After all, we have only just met them, and it is normal for those barbarians to be wary. Maybe we should come up with something and they see our sincerity?"

"That's a solution, and you'll leave it to you. Owen thought about it for a while but was still unwilling, so he decided.

If Su Lun knew what Owen thought about them, he would definitely die of laughter, all barbarians on the system interface have a loyalty value, and now most of these loyalties are above ninety, and even many are one hundred.

Such a high level of loyalty is not something that can make them rebel, not to mention that barbarians worship the strong, after following Su Lun to fight for a period of time, many of them have become Su Lun's diehard loyalists, and it is basically impossible for them to rebel.
