If you want to win the respect of the barbarians, it's simple, just win them, and if you want to win their favor, it's easy to fight with them. The vast majority of barbarians have a simple idea, and do not have as many fancy intestines as the Florentines, although there are exceptions.

"You should be well aware that I have paid you for you, and from this day forward, you will be my slaves. Su Lun took out the slave contract and raised it and said.

The barbarians did not speak, and Suren was not surprised by this situation, after all, no one wanted to be a slave.

"You should thank me, if I hadn't bought you, your last destination would have been the cannon fodder camp. ”

"Didn't you buy us to use us as cannon fodder?" a barbarian separated from his companions and stepped out from behind, standing in front of Suren.

Su Lun looked up at this barbarian, he didn't like to talk to people with his head up, the barbarian in front of him was already two meters tall, even among the barbarians, he was a burly man. Suren was like a stunted child in front of him. What's more, this barbarian is very flexible in his movements, and there is no bulkiness at all, giving Suren the feeling of a cheetah in the Northland wilderness.

Quietly taking two steps on his hind legs, Su Lun adjusted his posture, and finally didn't have to raise his head to look at him, "Of course not, if I want to use you as cannon fodder, why do I buy those old and weak women and children together?"

"You're not going to use them to threaten us with cannon fodder?" the man said in a low voice, after a moment of silence.

"I'm not a soldier and have nothing to do with the military. Su Lun spread his hands and said: "Besides, I spent so much money, but I didn't let you go to the battlefield to be cheap cannon fodder." ”

"I'm a nobleman, I just bought a pioneer order, I need a group of warriors to follow me to the wilderness to explore the territory, that's why I bought you. ”

"Of course, it is dangerous to open up my territory, but I can promise that if my territory is successfully developed, you will be removed as slaves, and you will become free people in my territory!"

"Sounds good, but how can we trust you?"

"You don't have a choice, you can only trust me. Su Lun smiled and said, "Of course, I can use my noble reputation to guarantee that as long as the territory is successfully developed, I will fulfill my promise." And, in the early days of the territory, I can let your family live here. ”

"As the most prosperous city in the Northland provinces, it is also the safest, I will supply them with food every month, of course, you can send someone to supervise each time. ”

After listening to Su Lun's conditions, this barbarian who should be the leader has already agreed in his heart, and this is the best result.

Su Lun's method is acceptable to both sides, leaving the old and weak women and children in the city can not only ensure their safety, but also reassure Su Lun, if they go to the wilderness to open up the territory together, Su Lun is also worried that these barbarians will take advantage of his inattention and run away directly, after all, they have lived in the wilderness before.

"We agree. The barbarian grinned, a smile that was more ugly than crying, "My name is Johnson, and I'm from the Storm Bear Tribe, but it doesn't exist anymore. ”

"My name is Suren. Su Lun nodded and said.

"Now you clean up this camp, you stay here for the time being, and when I have bought you weapons, you will set out to open up territory in the wilderness. ”

Then more than a hundred barbarians also joined in cleaning the camp, and the speed of clearing the camp increased at once, although there were many women and children among these barbarians, but these women and children were not weak at all, and those female barbarians were not as strong as men, but they were still strong compared to the Florentines.

Have you seen a frail woman walking around with a hand carrying a pound or two hundred pounds of garbage? And the underage children, each one of them no worse than an adult Florentine.

By the end of the night, the barracks of the entire camp had been repaired, and Suren was resting in the inn, and tomorrow he would continue to prepare supplies for the development of the camp.

This group of barbarian warriors added up to thirty-five, and all of them were good, better than the slave warriors he wanted to buy before, and so many people spent more than seven hundred gold nars, so he saved a lot of money.

The warriors in the slave market cost about thirty kinnars each, but their combat power was average, and the barbarians could easily beat them even if they didn't go berserk, and if they did, it would be no problem to fight five or six at a time. The Florentines and barbarian berserkers relied more on numbers and weapons.

Heavily armoured, heavy soldiers were only in the death throes of the barbarians, who wore animal skins and used stones or sticks, even if they were powerful. In addition, the Florentines are not without strong men, whether they are knights or wizards, they can deal with these people.

There are more than 4,000 kinnars, and it doesn't cost much money to buy weapons for these barbarians, but as for the armor, one leather armor per person is enough, what? Why don't you buy iron armor? How expensive is that thing, it starts with hundreds of kinnars, and Suren has not had the luxury of putting heavy armor on these barbarians.

Maybe he won't think about these when he has money in the future, the most important thing now is the territory issue, for occupying a territory and cleaning up the monsters in this territory, this is not difficult for Suren, it is rare to hold this land, after all, if this territory cannot be guaranteed to be safe, and there are no free people to come to cultivate and live, then it is a tree without roots, and it is untenable after all.

Only with the freedmen can Suren collect taxes, and with taxes can his territory continue to develop, otherwise he will not last long with his endless investment.

And for the early development of the territory, he must buy a large number of slaves, after all, the territory that has just been opened up, it is difficult to recruit free people, so he can only use slaves instead, and the construction of the territory also requires a large number of slaves to work, he can't let the barbarians build a house, these barbarians are estimated to build a shack, counting on them to build a house, it is better to count on the sow to go up the tree.

Carthusian City is the largest city in the Northlands, where all kinds of materials are abundant, and the materials needed by Suren to open up the territory can be bought, and the price is relatively cheap, if this is in a border city, I am afraid that he may not even be able to purchase all the materials, even if he is reluctant to buy the estimated cost is much higher.

Wagons, grain, weapons, seeds, farm implements, tents, and building materials were bought and piled up in the camp, of which the grain was the largest, because he had to prepare at least a year's worth of grain, and even if he opened up the territory this year, there would be no output, and only when the grain was ripe next year could he be self-sufficient.
