Chapter 34 Preparation for the Caravan
Jean's attributes are simple, and he is much weaker than the Barbarian, but he has advantages that others don't have.
[Transaction: Through the observation of words and colors, you can better communicate with people, have a clearer understanding of various prices, and obtain more favorable prices in the transaction by observing words and colors. 】
Originally, Jean was just an ordinary mercenary, and after joining the territory, he was ready to be a free citizen, of course, if the territory was attacked, he still needed to take up arms to defend the city. After discovering that he had a talent for trading, Suren was ready to train him as an exclusive merchant in his territory.
In fact, basically every fiefdom nobleman has one or several caravans, in order to transport the output of the territory to sell, after all, if you only rely on the output of the territory, it is not difficult to maintain the life of the nobles, but it is not easy to develop and grow.
Su Lun originally wanted to wait until next year's territory had a stable output before starting to form a caravan, but now it seems that it needs to be advanced.
"Jean, I'm going to appoint you and the steward of the caravan in my territory, do you have any requirements?" said Su Lun, looking at the sturdy middle-aged man in front of him.
"Sir, you want to appoint me as the caravan steward? Originally, he was still a little nervous, worried that Su Lun was settling accounts for him in the last battle, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to be the caravan steward, and Jean agreed directly without thinking about it.
"That's good, as a caravan steward, you can get twenty acres of farmland, but these twenty acres are only used temporarily, if you don't do well, these twenty acres of farmland will be recovered, if you do well, these twenty acres of farmland are your reward, of course, this is only the most basic reward. ”
"I will form the caravan as soon as possible, give you a day to arrange personal matters, and officially start tomorrow morning. After saying that, Su Lun waved his hand to signal that he could go.
For Jean, Suren didn't fully trust, Jean's loyalty was only seventy-six, this loyalty was not high, and it was not low, but this loyalty was not enough for Suren to trust him completely.
Therefore, Jean, the caravan steward, does not care about money, and he never uses money to consider people's hearts, because the vast majority of people cannot withstand this kind of test, and the best way is to formulate a reasonable system to eliminate this situation as much as possible.
Fifteen hundred gold Narsulen was given to Johnson for safekeeping, and he was prepared to make Johnson the head of the caravan's guards. Johnson's loyalty has already reached a hundred, and it belongs to his diehard loyalists, the kind that will not betray at all, with Johnson in charge of these Jinnar, Su Lun can rest assured.
In addition to being the captain of the caravan's guards, Johnson also had the task of keeping an eye on Jean, and as for the rest of the caravan's guards, Suren was also ready.
The next morning, the camp became very lively, and many of the barbarian warriors who had followed Owen the previous two days had returned. As for what to do with Owen? I'm sorry, I've already given it to you, and you can't see it yourself, so it's no wonder to me.
Even if Owen came back to ask for someone, he would not admit it, and besides, when the transaction was made, the two sides did not leave any documentary evidence, Owen could only pinch his nose and admit it, and turn his face with Su Lun to make a move, he was afraid that he didn't have the guts, so he relied on the force of Su Lun's territory to sweep his caravan back and forth without panting.
So this time he is empty of people and money, who gave you the courage to dare to run to my territory to dig a corner. Why do you say you want to pay back? Why do you want to pay back the money you have cheated by your ability?
Of course, he can also use the banner of Marquis Chrisman, but once he does this, his career as a caravan steward will be over, and the noble lord will not care if you have been deceived or not, once they know that you will cause a huge loss to the merchant, he will let you make up for it as soon as possible, and then kick it away, Su Lun is completely fearless.
These barbarian warriors who had just returned were the guards of the caravan, and the carriage that transported supplies last time was also there, and Jean and the others left the territory with twenty wagons and headed in the direction of Carthusian City. The wagons were also loaded with all kinds of furs harvested during the hunting in the territory during this time, and when they returned again, the population of the territory would grow explosively.
......
"Ding, open the territory dungeon quest, a giant tiger has appeared near your territory, the existence of the giant tiger threatens the safety of the territory residents, please destroy the giant tiger as soon as possible. ”
The prompt sound of the imperial war game system suddenly sounded in his ears, Su Lun was slightly stunned, after hearing the system prompt of the territory dungeon mission, Su Lun immediately changed out of the system interface and began to check.
[Quest Mission: Destroy the Giant Tiger that invaded the territory.] Rewards: Generous rewards. 】
There were very few hints from the system, and Su Lun looked at it for a while and thought that when he used to play the game, some wild monsters would be refreshed in the wild every once in a while, and this territory copy should be like this. And in the game, these mobs usually drop some nice items.
"Head, no, we're missing three cows!" Su Lun had just turned off the system interface when a barbarian warrior hurried over.
"What's wrong?"
"Head, when Qiao Sen went to herd the cattle today, he found that the number of cattle was wrong, and there were three missing. There was a big gap in the fence, and it is not known what animal attacked the cattle pen. ”
"Monster attack?" Su Lun was slightly stunned, and then suddenly thought of that quest, could this be the clue of the quest. Thinking of this, Su Lun did not delay, and immediately got up and went to the cattle pen.
The cattle pen was outside the camp, because if these wild cattle were placed in the city, it was estimated that his camp would become stinking in a few days, so he deliberately set aside a place outside the city, built a cattle farm out of logs, and arranged personnel to take care of it.
When he came to the cattle pen, Su Lun quickly saw the damaged fences, only to see that the logs that were half a meter thick were broken by the huge force, and the surrounding fences were also shattered, and the scene was a piece. The fence is made of logs, and to destroy it to this extent, it requires a very strong force, even a barbarian.
Coming closer, on the grass next to the fence, there were still several huge paw prints on the ground, and seeing this, Su Lun could already determine that the destruction of the cattle farm was the giant tiger prompted by the system.
"Go find some wood and renovate this place. Suren asked the others to repair the cattle pen. He himself followed the clues on the ground and prepared to find it. There are many paw prints on the ground, which look like cat footprints, except that these footprints are many times larger than cat footprints.
The footprints stretched outward, and Suren soon came to the wilderness, at this time these footprints had become a little blurry by the destruction of other animals, but they could still be distinguished, and soon Suren followed the footprints to a forest.
