"Angus, you speak first. Luo Heng said.

"After the adults left, we arrested more than sixty unknown people, all of whom were sent to the mines. Angus spoke.

"Hmm. Luo Heng nodded.

Nicole looked at Luo Heng and said, "Recently, we have sold three thousand four hundred and fifty crabs, as well as five thousand three hundred and twenty catties of prawns, and fifteen thousand four hundred and thirty catties of various fish, and the total income is thirty-five thousand four hundred and fifteen gold coins. ”

As soon as Nicole's number came out, Woods' eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask, "What about the expenses?"

"Two thousand three hundred and forty head of sheep, half of which are breeding sheep, and fourteen hundred head of cattle, almost all of them breeding cattle, and 300,000 catties of forage, the total expenditure is four thousand five hundred gold coins. Nicole continued.

"Good. Luo Heng exclaimed, 30,000 gold coins is already a great number, 99% of the nobles don't have so much in a year.

Woods opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it, eating hundreds of sheep a month, what kind of concept is this?

"Cheney, I've found out that a lot of the caravans live in Riverside, why don't we build inns too?" suggested Nicole again.

"Forget it, let Baron William get rich. Luo Heng shook his head and said.

The rest of the people all smiled slightly, and it was very troublesome to manage the hotel.

The purchase of materials in the territory is all traded on the wooden bridge, and now the section of the road from Riverside Town to Luo Heng's territory is several kilometers long, and there are houses built on both sides.

Speaking of Baron William, Baron William was also listening to the report in Riverside Town.

"Lord Baron, last month's tax on our side was fifty-two gold coins and thirty-five silver coins, which is income, and the expenditure is to recruit twenty guards, and it is estimated that this month, our tax revenue can reach one hundred gold coins. The tax collector of Riverside Town reported

"Fifty-two gold coins, is this what is left after paying taxes?" William couldn't believe it, knowing that the nobles collected taxes in their territories, unless they were big nobles, and a town like his own had fifty gold coins a year.

The aristocracy relied more on their own operations, such as grain in the town, or other commercial trade, of course, the majority of the taxes on the farms and pastures in the territory, but that was basically collected once a year and during the harvest season.

"It's the removal of all expenses. The tax collector spoke.

"Doesn't that mean that the price of the goods purchased on the other side is more than five thousand gold coins?" William knew the proportion of taxes.

"Yes, and I suggest that the Baron plant more grass next year, and the price of grass is very good. The tax collector suggested.

"Oh?" William asked, confused.

"My lord, Duke Cheney's side is said to buy a large amount of fresh pasture, fresh grass can be cut four or five times, and an acre of land can be harvested at least three thousand catties at a time, and he is not afraid of rain or wind. The tax collector spoke.

"Fresh pasture, really?" asked William when he heard this.

"Yes, and only part of our riverside town has this supply capacity. The tax collector spoke.

William's heart was moved, planting food or something, too tired, no rain, rain, harvesting, pests and diseases, and maybe when it was harvest season, a fire would be over.

The pasture grass is not in the village, and it is fresh pasture, if you want to talk about dry pasture, there may be some risks, after all, is it dry or not?

"Is there anything wrong with policing?" asked William again.

"No, my lord, the adventurers in the town are basically gone, and there are nearly three hundred corpses hanging on the opposite side, and it is said that a member of the Council of Nine has also been arrested by Duke Cheney. The sheriff spoke.

"Tsk, worthy of the dwarven god of war, I'm going to meet Cheney. William was also very happy in his heart.

In fact, in William's opinion, the private orders of those guys in the noble council are no longer of any use.

The first is that Luo Heng buys grain directly from the Alchemy Association, and the orders issued by the Council of Nobles are private and not public.

In addition, Luo Heng only bought, not sold, big businessmen did not come, and small businessmen were among them.

There are more small merchants, and it's the same.

"I'm afraid that Cheney only buys tens of thousands of livestock a year, right?" asked William.

"More than 90,000 of them, and we are still buying them, and I heard that in the future, all the areas on the other side of the river that can be grazed will be turned into pastures, which will be managed by giants. The sheriff spoke.

"That's fine, our territory will be safe. William breathed a sigh of relief.

The sheriff did not speak, a strong neighbor, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

Luo Heng received the news that William wanted to see him, and it was already the next day.

Woods led his guards to train in the snow and ice, and he didn't mean to be lazy.

And Nicole lived with Luo Heng, and no one said anything.

"Uncle Woods, this is Baron William, and the town on the riverside opposite is his domain, William, this is Baron Woods, my elder, and the territory is on my side. Luo Heng opened his mouth to introduce each other.

"Lord Duke, I'm sorry for the thieves. William began by saying sorry.

Luo Heng waved his hand and said: "They are all outlaws, William, the pressure on the security of your territory is very great." ”

"Thank you Lord for your understanding. William spoke.

"William, next year I will buy a large amount of pasture, fresh enough, enough for 200,000 livestock to eat for five months. Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, the green storage feed made last year has been successful, but in fact, it is not used, it is just something like sake lees left over from brewing wine, and the result is not bad.

Of course, it is also to blame for the relatively low temperature here, especially at night.

"No problem. When William heard this, he immediately reassured.

"At least I need a lot of wine, I don't know how much William can provide?" Luo Heng said, the wine was also very popular among the orcs.

"My territory is about 150,000 catties of wine, I don't know?" said William.

"It's too little, at least a million catties. Luo Heng shook his head and said.

"What?" exclaimed William, wine was nothing else, it was more expensive, an average gold coin a catty, not high.

"Where's the ale?" Luo Heng asked again.

"How much does the Duke want?" asked William.

"Four or five million pounds are always needed, maybe more. Luo Heng felt that this was all conservative, and he sold it to the Orc Empire, and he could eat as much as he could.

Poof!

Four or five million catties, a barrel of thirty catties of ale wine, about five silver coins, three hundred catties is fifty silver coins, and six hundred catties is a gold coin.

That is, the ale wine worth 10,000 gold coins, which is a huge fortune, and the raw material water of the ale wine occupies a large part, and more is the cost of wooden barrels and the like.

"Yes, I can sign contracts, and then there are livestock, mainly cattle, sheep, etc., and the demand is probably a million heads. Luo Heng opened his mouth and moved.

"Duke, Lord Duke, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat that much here?" William stammered.

"I bought five million catties of grain from the Alchemy Society. Luo Heng said with a smile.

William's mouth opened wide, in disbelief, Luo Heng opened his mouth again: "The seafood auctioned by the Alchemy Association recently, the Wyvern, are all provided by me, and I, Cheney, have opened up the trade route to the Orc Wasteland. ”

"What!" William didn't know what a huge guy the Orc Empire was.

I didn't see those chambers of commerce that dealt with the orc empire, and they were eating with their mouths full of oil.

"Yes, the giant has a good relationship with me, I hired the giant to deliver goods for me, and I also have an identity, the god of war temple guard, in the orc empire, there are already orc tribes who have submitted to me. Luo Heng said.

The reason why Luo Heng chose to say it now is that he gave William enough benefits just now, what I buy in your territory, and let the news go to William, then William will naturally not cause trouble for himself in the future.

Next year's territory meat supply, all to buy, meat purchase, Luo Heng doesn't want to trouble the Alchemy Association, mainly to the Alchemy Association, a little worried.

"These are my gifts to you, go back and think about it, and you can also build a huge trading market in your territory. Luo Heng pointed to the carriage.

William looked at a big fish that was longer than a carriage, and there were also tied up crabs, prawns, or something.

William returned to the territory in a daze, William's castle was only about four kilometers away from Luo Heng in a straight line, but if he wanted to go back, he had to go to the town first, and then turn back.

"Wow!" the children's exclamations woke William up, and the children looked at the huge sea fish, the huge crabs, and their eyes widened.

"William, this will cost a lot of gold. "Lady William looked at the huge sea fish, and the crabs, and felt a little painful.

This winter, crabs, prawns, and sea fish are high-end ingredients, which are priceless, and a few days ago I went to Lakeside Town to attend a cocktail party, and the viscount took out crabs, and there was a sea fish, and Mrs. William ate two pieces of sea fish, and there was no more.

Because there are too many people, and I can't eat the prawns soaked in wine, because the quantity is limited.

"It was given to me by someone else, to bring these things in. When William heard this, he put his arms around his wife and spoke.

After listening to William's explanation, Mrs. William opened her mouth wide: "A million catties of ale wine, fresh pasture for 200,000 livestock to eat, and all the wine, this, this is worth at least 200,000 gold coins!"

200,000 gold coins, the total annual income of William's territory is 1,500 gold coins, excluding taxes of a few hundred gold coins, and then the family's consumption, no less than 500 gold coins a year.

Five hundred in one year, five thousand in ten years, 50,000 gold coins in 100 years, 200,000 gold coins, four hundred years!

"Yes, I'll go tomorrow morning to sign the agreement, and then we'll go to your father's side, and then hire the winemaker, and buy the grass seeds. William had already thought it through and spoke.
