The coachman looked at Chen Shihao with a smile and said, "When the adult hired the small carriage, the little one guessed that the adult was the upstart rewarded by Lord Jay, but I didn't expect Lord Jay to actually give you the best share of the reward." ”
Chen Shihao waved his hand and strengthened his momentum and said: "Looking at your appearance, I know that you are not a simple person, and I am too lazy to explore these things, now I want to exchange this fertile Hu Cong Collar for a larger area of territory, I don't know if you have any way to help?" ”
The glint flashed in the coachman's eyes, and he said with admiration: "Your decision is very wise, because as long as the news of your acquisition of this territory spreads, you will definitely become the target of all the nobles, so it is the best choice to give up this territory to obtain other territories." Speaking of this, seeing Chen Shihao's indifferent nod, he also knew that the other party must understand this reason and was ready to give up such fertile land, so he no longer politely said directly: "My lord, my master is indeed very eager to obtain this piece of subordinate territory, and he is also willing to pay sincerity, but I don't know what the adults have for the replaced land?"
As soon as he heard that the other party confirmed that the owner behind him was indeed here to fight his own idea, Chen Shihao couldn't help but feel a chill, just let the city guards find a carriage casually, but he didn't expect that this coachman was arranged by others, it seems that the other party's strength in West is terrifying, but seeing that the other party is willing to negotiate instead of directly robbing it, he is also a rule person, of course, maybe the other party is worried about the testimony of the gods.
Chen Shihao suppressed the wild waves in his heart, and said with an indifferent look: "Naturally, the larger the area, the better, as for whether it is fertile or not, it doesn't matter, as long as it is not a desert wilderness and can grow some food." Of course, it's better to compensate a little gold pound, and now I'm too poor to open the pot. ”
"Uh......" The coachman obviously didn't expect Chen Shihao's request to be so simple, and he was overjoyed and had a headache, because this matter was not something he could decide, he was just a person who monitored and matched, so he had to say helplessly: "I'm sorry, my lord, this has to be reported to make a decision." ”
"It's okay, why don't we go back to the city directly, and let someone who can make a decision come and talk to me directly? I believe that the change of territory will be witnessed by the god of order, right? If the negotiation is settled, we can go directly to the temple. Chen Shihao said with a smile.
"As you wish. The coachman didn't pay any attention to the fact that he was almost in town, but turned his horse's head, flicked his whip, and drove the carriage towards the city.
Back in the city, Chen Shihao drank two glasses of ale wine at the bar, and the coachman who came in a hurry invited him to a very ordinary hotel, where he saw a fat man with big ears and a smile on his face, dressed luxuriously, and looked like a middle-aged fat man who was a promising businessman.
As soon as the fat middle-aged man in a fancy dress saw Chen Shihao, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Ah, this is Lord Chen Hucong, right?
Glancing at the metal badge hanging on the other party's chest, Chen Shihao, who had already carefully probed the World Title Mark, and also learned the identity of this person from the coachman's mouth, immediately saluted and said, "It's a great honor to meet you, Lord Baron Chur." ”
"Don't be so polite, I'm just an outburst, I donated a sum of money to the earl by chance, and was rewarded by the servant, so I stepped into the ranks of the nobility. Although my knighthood was later promoted through military merit, the stain on the beginning has always been with me. Speaking of which, the fat baron looked lost.
Chen Shihao is a little awakened, this world is the same as the ancient earth, extremely despised merchants, especially this kind of businessmen who have obtained noble status through donations, and is even more despised and isolated by the entire aristocratic group, it is no wonder that he wants to improve his prestige by acquiring the land of Bangwei Village, not to mention that he is a baron who personally went out to negotiate business with a small servant.
The baron quickly regained his hearty smile: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your subordinate leader, your request is that the larger the land you can exchange, the better, and it doesn't matter if the yield is high, right?" Seeing Chen Shihao nodding in approval, the baron pondered for a while and said, "Let me tell you about my offer, you can see if it is suitable or not." Chen Shihao smiled and made a gesture of please.
"Well, your subordinate produces 5 stones per mu, and 30 acres is 150 stones, alas, it is really frighteningly fertile. The baron couldn't help but sigh again before continuing: "I have a piece of land in Mao'er Town, which is a poor land with a yield of 5 liters per mu, but it is enough for 300 acres, a total of 1500 liters, and 20 liters of one stone is 75 stones, well, if it's just like this, you will definitely suffer a big loss, how about I add 500 acres of woodland on the side and a pond on the side, and then subsidize 2 gold pounds per mu?"
Chen Shihao's heart was beating, and he chatted with the coachman on the road, but he knew that the maximum number of subordinates was 150 acres, and the general territorial rewards would be mixed with half of the mountains, forests and ponds, that is to say, the land given by this baron was enough to be divided into 4 largest areas of subordinate territories! If it was replaced by the smallest subordinate of 30 acres, it would be enough to divide 27! Damn! If he was a knight now, he could recruit more than 20 vassals as thugs!
Chen Shihao naturally knew that although it was possible to exchange for more land, it was more likely to be suppressed, and it was possible to exchange 1 gold pound for an acre of land! Moreover, this Baron Kur was born as a merchant and was isolated by other nobles, so the price he gave should not be low, so he simply accepted it when he saw it, nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you, Lord Kuhl, for your generosity, I am ashamed to accept it." ”
"You're welcome, everyone takes what they need, this change of territory is the same as doing business, although there are losses and gains, but as long as both parties meet the requirements, that's fine, you say?" the baron laughed.
"Yes, but my lord, I don't know the tenant farmers on this land......" Chen Shihao asked a little reservedly, how can he work on this 300 acres of poor land without tenant farmers.
"Oh, I have 30 tenant farmers and 2 hunters there, and of course they were transferred to you along with the land. The baron waved his hand very generously.
"Haha, thank you so much, sir. Chen Shihao saluted happily and thanked him, but he didn't expect his subordinates to multiply by 5 times all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but be complacent about his decision to exchange 30 acres of fertile but absolutely provocative land for such a large piece of unnoticed land. Although this is a game, it is also self-made, which is really fulfilling.
"Then I'll go to the Temple of Order first and wait for Chen Hu to follow?" the baron looked very eager, and as soon as he saw that the discussion was over, he immediately got up and prepared to leave.
"Okay, come over in the inferior. Chen Shihao got up and wanted to send it, but the coachman had already conveyed his intention that it was best to make the territorial transfer between the two quiet, and this coming and leaving one after the other was a necessary procedure. Chen Shihao, who didn't want to be in the limelight when he was weak, naturally would not object.
After sitting quietly in the room for a while, accompanied by the coachman, he once again arrived at the Temple of Order, this time being ushered into a room at the back of the temple, ready to witness an old priest who was also old and much more gorgeously dressed. After a few polite words, the two sides took out their identity certificates and territorial certificates, plus a transfer contract, and after Chen Shihao put his fingerprint on Baron Kuhl and signed his name and stamped the baron's seal, the gods once again carried out the seal-like certification process, so far, Chen Shihao, an upstart, has become a super servant of 800 acres of land in the town of Cats, the Earl of West!
Chen Shihao, who had 60 gold pounds in his pocket, walked out of the temple with great satisfaction, and saw that Baron Chur got into a gorgeous carriage and was about to leave, and also wanted to find a carriage to go to the new territory, and at this moment, the coachman who followed the baron into the carriage suddenly jumped out of the carriage with a bag and ran over, Chen Shihao was slightly stunned, but also stopped and waited for the arrival of the coachman.
The coachman came to him, stuffed the bag directly to Chen Shihao, and said: "My lord feels a little sorry for you, this is a special compensation for you, and it is the cost of letting you hire guards!" Then without waiting for Chen Shihao to react, he ran back to the carriage all of a sudden, and the carriage immediately rumbled away quickly.
Chen Shihao looked at the vanished carriage in a daze, and then looked at the heavy bag in his arms, some couldn't understand what was going on, but a bad feeling suddenly surged in his mind, opened the bag and saw it, immediately gasped, immediately closed the bag and hugged it tightly in his arms, and that bad feeling has become a dangerous premonition!
There is no other reason, because the bag is full of golden pounds! According to the weight of this bag, it is at least five times the 60 gold pounds in his pocket! That is, about 300 gold pounds!
30 acres of fertile land with a yield of 5 stones per mu in exchange for 300 acres of land with a yield of 10 liters per mu, 500 acres of woodland and a pond, 30 tenant farmers and 2 hunters! And 60 gold pounds! This price can be said anywhere, but it is already to such an extent, and the other party still looks embarrassed to compensate 300 gold pounds more? And he is so guilty that he doesn't dare to meet each other and runs away! What does this mean?!
And in the baron's carriage, the coachman asked the baron with a curious expression: "My lord, anyway, he has completed the god's witness according to the agreement, and he can't regret it afterwards, why do you still give him so many gold pounds?"
The baron was in a very happy mood and said: "He started with military merits, don't tell me that his merits are small, think about the situation of those reserve knight leaders, hundreds of adventurers only survived dozens of people, and even the reserve knights died several people, but think about how strong the strength of those routs is, and among these dozens of people, he is the only one who has obtained two military cards, and he has obtained the first merit as a first-class samurai, whether it is strong or lucky, they are all powerful people, I believe that Lord Jay Lun They also know." ”
"Ah, then, why abandon such a character?" said the coachman, astonished.
"Haha, it's just a, what's the big deal? Plus the other 9 people are all abandoned, just he doesn't give up, but it doesn't fit the nickname of the fair knight that Lord Jay Lun boasts of. The baron smiled: "So, although the territory of Mao'er Town was transferred to him, there is a bit of a frame-up, but the 300 gold pounds are enough to make up for this frame-up." ”
"But what if Chen Shihao can't see the value of the 300 gold pounds, but instead confesses that you framed him?" asked the coachman with some concern.
"Haha, I believe that Chen Hu would never be such an uninformed person, and even if he is wrong, would I be afraid of a servant as a baron?" the baron laughed proudly. Naturally, the coachman immediately answered the sentence of the adult's wisdom.
Chen Shihao stopped a passer-by with a pale face, threw a few pennies over, and said politely: "What kind of place is Mao'er Town this gentleman?"
