Yan Xu, who was interrupted from his train of thought, was not angry, although there are perfect exercises to learn from, but after all, they are two worlds, just like the gears on two different machines, if you want to play the highest speed, you must go through a long time of running-in and debugging, anyway, you already have a way in your heart, just keep going, I don't care about this time.

While eating, he reported the information he had heard, in fact, there was really going to be a fight here, of course, according to Hami's description, Yan Xu would rather classify this as an armed brawl.

The situation is simple, there is a very sour fruit near the wine town, even if it is ripe, it is not easy to eat, but if it is made into fruit wine, it is very delicious. This fruit wine was loved by the aristocracy, especially in winter, and it was a pleasure to have a glass of it. So every year, when the wine was made, a large number of merchants waved bags of gold coins to buy these wines, which allowed Baron Sal to become a wealthy nobleman, even to the point of envy of the viscount.

Unfortunately, Baron Thrall's neighbor, a powerful viscount, was jealous of his gains, so he set up a checkpoint in the path of the merchant to draw heavy taxes.

In a way, this is the right of the other party, and it is reasonable for him to draw taxes from the king's caravan in his domain, as long as he is not afraid of being put in small shoes or dying in an accident.

Originally, Baron Thrall didn't care about this, after all, he was just a group of merchants, why did he stand out for businessmen. It's a pity that Baron Sal didn't know that the merchant was not wronged, and this level of heavy taxation made the fruit wine unprofitable, and he would not come back if his head was in water.

When, as in previous years, Baron Sal organized his men to collect fruit wine during the ripening season, and waited for hordes of merchants waving money bags to rush to buy it, and it was not until the beginning of spring that more than a dozen barrels of fruit wine were sold, half of which was consumed by the town itself.

Although this fruit wine is sold exclusively, it has no value if it is kept in the town, so a merchant must ship the goods out for money. Without merchants, there is no money, and without money, Baron Sal cannot sustain himself in luxury, and even over-reliance on fruit wine leads to famine in small towns that lack sufficient agriculture.

Baron Thrall panicked at this time, but there are generally only two ways to solve the conflict between the two nobles, one is to find a high nobleman to mediate. But this is not free, and if you want to mediate with the high nobles, the price you pay is enough to make Baron Thrall vomit blood. And with Baron Sal's knowledge of which viscount, mere verbal mediation is useless.

The second way is to start a war and get a result, many of the battles between nobles that have lasted for hundreds of years are because of these things, and they are also one of the main ways to resolve conflicts between nobles. But fighting, which viscount is a knight, and he relied on his own bravery to obtain the title of viscount, even if Baron Sal drank too much, he didn't dare to wave his fist at a brown bear-like Viscount Kogan, and he would be beaten into a ****.

Fortunately, a small merchant who had come to buy the wine this year brought him good news, and on the condition that he had bought the wine at half price for three consecutive years, Baron Thrall had been given a path which he could bypass the territory of the Viscount of the Brown Bear without having to pay the heavy tax.

Although the path was not accessible to carriages, it at least gave Baron Thrall a way out, and if it cost him some money to expand the path, he could live a happy life of sitting at home and counting money.

The general path is because it lacks the conditions for expansion, the first is that it is unnecessary, the second is that it cannot generate benefits, and the third is because of danger.

The path is a beast road belonging to humans, and if you want to use it as a trade route, the danger on the road will definitely make any merchant lose all his money. So Baron Thrall had to clear the monsters on both sides of the path before he could send the men to cut down trees, clear the bushes, dig up the roots, fill in the road, and expand the path into a trade route for carriages to continue to benefit him.

However, Baron Thrall's territory did not have enough troops to clear the monsters on both sides of the path, so he released the news that he planned to hire some mercenaries, because they were very cheap, as for the effect, Baron Thrall, who had never experienced battles, did not know this, but he had money.

Yan Xu needs some combat to adapt to his new body, and he also needs experience points, his strength has not all disappeared, and all the essence has been preserved in the copper mother and Yan Iron. When passing through the plane passage, although most of the two metals were consumed, the rest were fused into a new metal, because it had the characteristics of two metals, Yan Xu called it red copper.

When the newborn body was generated, because it contained a large amount of life essence, the red copper automatically evolved into a heart, and the remaining essence in it fused into a flesh and bone relic under the huge pressure of the outside world.

Many eminent monks will leave some relics after being cremated, which is the relics of flesh and bones, but the living person has no relics of flesh and bones, unless it is a great monk who has cultivated the vajra relics.

Although Yan Xu did not reach the realm of cultivating the Vajra Relic, he did reach the realm of cultivating the Flesh and Bone Relic, but he was still a living person, so naturally he could not evolve into a Flesh and Bone Relic. However, while passing through the dimensional passage, the body collapsed, and the essence of it was protected, forming a strange relic similar to a flesh and bone relic under the tremendous pressure of the outside world.

This kind of peculiar relic can be said to be unprecedented, so Yan Xu did not break it up and restore it to life essence to strengthen this new body, but chose to use it as a kind to continue cultivating.

If he only cares about the present, Yan Xu can recover the strength of the sixth or seventh layer at his peak in a few days, but if he wants to breed relics, he doesn't know how many years it will take.

What's more, low strength also has the advantage of low strength, a real martial artist will never think that his foundation is deep, if there is a chance to start again, he will not change it for ten thousand gold. Because only you know yourself, you can naturally feel your shortcomings while your strength increases, and you can naturally gain stronger potential for strengthening again.

The same is true for Yan Xu, he himself is self-taught and grown, although his foundation is not weak, but because of the lack of guidance, he has taken many detours, leaving a lot of hidden dangers. After entering the world of the main gods, he got a chance to recast his foundation, and he entered Shaolin, which is the first in the world of basic martial arts, to make up for this shortcoming.

However, the opportunities of the main god world made his strength still grow too fast, and he lacked a little precipitation and a careful taste of the experience in it, resulting in his strength Although his strength was not much inferior to Lu Junyi, in the end, he could only rely on the instinct and inhuman strength and defense of the witch to fight the other party. It's a joke for a warrior, what difference is it from a beast, even if victory brings not glory but shame.

Therefore, Yan Xu will definitely not waste this third opportunity, because God is already generous enough to him, three chances are equivalent to three rebirths, and this plug-in has been opened big enough.

Early the next morning, more than 100 mercenaries squatted here in the square in front of the town's temple basking in the sun and catching lice on their bodies, looking bored, giving Yan Xu the feeling of being like a beggar gang rally.

There is also a large group of townspeople watching the excitement next to it, of course, they are also very concerned about opening up trade routes, after all, the life of the whole town is inseparable from fruit wine, if they can't sell it, they won't get money, and the tax will not be reduced.

After a while, four lord guards wearing iron helmets escorted a brightly dressed nobleman to the square with a war halberd in their hands, but in Yan Xu's opinion, this was purely pretending. After all, the four bodyguards walked, but the protected person rode a tall horse in bright clothes, and he could be solved with an arrow from afar, while the bodyguards could only wave their hands in vain and watch the protected person fall.

Seeing the arrival of their employers, the mercenaries surrounded them, but the mighty lord's guards scattered them with their halberds to prevent any of them from plotting against the lord. Of course, it's more because Baron Thrall is very identity-conscious, and it's not easy to come to see these bastards who should all be hanged, if they touch him, he will probably be mad, and then their guards will be unlucky.

Baron Thrall did not choose to let his shiny riding boots sink into the mud, but rode on a tall horse, holding his head high, and gave orders in a classic aristocratic tone.

Yan Xu bet that there wouldn't be a single person in his sight, unless his eyes were in his nostrils, or the objects he was facing were all giants four or five meters tall.

However, both the mercenaries and the townsfolk were accustomed to all this, and after Sal finished speaking, he continued to look up at the sky, and the tax collector in charge of collecting taxes, heralds, and proclamations translated it again in words that the civilians could understand, and his tone was equally arrogant and impatient.

Interestingly, Baron Sal spent five minutes composing the order in a beautiful tone and ornate words, and the tax collector reduced it to three sentences.

Fortunately, for the common people of this world, appreciating the nobles' every move is a solemn and meaningful activity, and it feels like not knowing it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because they are not nobles, just don't understand it, anyway, the lord's orders are also conveyed through the tax envoy, and it is enough to understand what the tax envoy says.

The first sentence of the tax collector is how much to pay, the second sentence is to come and receive dry food after signing the contract, and the third sentence is to ask the priest to preside.

The relationship between the human temple and the nobility is quite harmonious, one needs wealth and the other needs faith, the stronger the strength of the nobility, the bigger the territory, the more the population, the more faith the temple can get, and the interests of the two are one, so unless the lord is a pioneer against feudal superstition, otherwise the local temple will try to help the lord develop the territory.

In addition to being responsible for healing, exorcism, and preaching, the priest is also responsible for the contract, after all, the priest is standing behind the gods, and when the gods are unhappy, it is not uncommon for the priest to punish those who violate the contract.
