Chapter 67 Independence Manor
The reason why Viscount Terrance said that Wang Xiaode was so sharp and exposed was ambitious was grounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In this world where strength is respected and individual strength far exceeds collective strength. Having a piece of territory under one's jurisdiction that is under the complete control of others is a dangerous sign, because as long as there is one being of the same level, it is likely that the assassination of the master will be successful, or a few people can start a war.
Therefore, Wang Xiaode's behavior is equivalent to putting a knife on the neck of the Viscount of Terence, although Viscount Terence does not think that Barony Ronald has such a powerful figure now, but he does not dare to guarantee whether he will have it in the future.
And the reason why Terrance was willing to ask for 5,000 gold in exchange was not a decision made in a dizzy mind. In fact, this viscount deserves to be a bit unworthy of the name, because not only the various baronies are not capable of controlling themselves.
Even in his own city, there are three barons including Baron Donald who have placed them in the Viscount City Hall, which is already more harmful than a manor requested by Wang Xiaode.
And if he agrees to Wang Xiaode's conditions, he will not only be able to get Wang Xiaode's large financial support, but he can reduce the financial pressure and resume territorial production as soon as possible, but he can also muddy things in the city.
You can fish in troubled waters, after all, you are still a viscount, and when they have a dispute, it is the time for your status to improve.
As for the harm to the manor, although it seems to be very harmful, Viscount Terrance is not very concerned. Not to mention that there are also people under his command who monitor the entry of these strong people, but it is normal that those big chambers of commerce and barons, knight lords and other lords have not placed strong people to enter the city, but they are just more hidden.
Moreover, it is also important to note that although Terrance is now a viscount, he is the concubine of the former Viscount Trilu, and he has a strong sense of crisis. He has been training hard since he was a child, and he is also a veritable intermediate swordsman. It is one of the highest combat power in the viscounty.
And once Wang Xiaode has a manor, his strong man is equivalent to being on the bright side, which is conducive to his own monitoring. If something happens a little bit, you can take the opportunity to make trouble. When the time comes, many things will still be decided by themselves.
Viscount Terence thought about it, and suddenly found that Wang Xiaode did this, as if it was not much harm to himself. On the contrary, it seems to be a kind of overture of advancing and retreating.
"It's really incomprehensible!" Terrance muttered.
"What did you say, sir?" The old butler next to him asked when he heard Terrance's whisper.
――――
A few days later, Wang Xiaode received a letter from Viscount Terence in Barony Ronal, agreeing to Wang Xiaode's request. And a group of carriages organized by Wang Xiaode went back to the viscount with the messenger on the spot.
"Sir, sir. The people who went to Barony Ronald are back. The old butler ran out of breath to the castle's study.
At this time, Viscount Terrance was deliberating with several of his henchmen about the reconstruction of the viscount and the current situation. I heard the old housekeeper's hurried voice and asked: "Tru, why are you in such a hurry, people come back when they come back, is it possible that they are still beaten back." ”
"No, no, no," said the old butler, taking a breath.
"Sir, it was not one person who came back with the message, but a convoy. Baron Ronal's convoy," replied the old butler excitedly.
Viscount Terrance thought in his head for less than a second and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."
The baron took a group of Wencheng generals around him to the outside of the castle and saw the ten horse-drawn carriages parked at the gate of the castle at this time. When I went up and opened it, the first carriage was a cart of white salt, followed by a cart of sugar, a cart of meat, a cart of pig iron, and six carts of dried sweet potatoes.
"Yes, yes. Uh, does Ronald have anything to say? Viscount Terrance was excited at first, but then reacted and immediately asked.
After all, the value of this batch of materials is too high, and white salt and sugar can be sold at a high price to purchase construction materials. And meat, meat can improve the standard of living of soldiers and increase combat effectiveness;
Pig iron, although not used as a weapon for warfighters, can be used as a raw material for ordinary soldiers' weapons, or as a farming tool. Whether dried sweet potatoes are eaten by the people or sold, they can solve the problem of food and clothing for many people in the territory.
Due to this viscount war, a lot of food in the territory has been consumed, although it will not starve many people to death, but if you want to recover, it is not a matter of one or two days, at least you need to wait until the next wheat is ripe.
Although the population of a viscount county is tens of thousands, if you save a little food, these sweet potatoes alone can still support the territory's food for a month. Coupled with the grain stocks of the territory itself, it can fully support the winter wheat until it matures.
Originally, Viscount Terrance had already prepared to go to the county to borrow grain, and now he can solve it in his own territory, of course, it is much more convenient than going to the county.
"Baron Ronal said that this is the first one, and that there are two more equal supplies to be delivered, but it will take time to procure. And we need to pay it off with gold or magic crystals within three years. The other coachmen who accompanied him stayed in the viscounty to help him take care of the manor. The messenger was also one of the viscount's personal soldiers.
When Terrance heard the first few words, although he didn't show his face, he was still very happy in his heart. No matter what the other party thinks, at least this batch of food and materials is in his own hands, as for the repayment, it is nothing in itself, as long as the viscount is running, these things can be repaid soon.
Moreover, at that time, the strength of the viscount may have recovered a lot, is he still afraid of a new baron who has just been knighted.
However, hearing that the coachman should be left to take care of the manor in the end, Terrance looked up at several coachmen.
Under the strong perception of Viscount Terrance's intermediate swordsman, Viscount Terrance did not feel the fighting spirit or magic fluctuations on several people. In other words, these people are ordinary people.
The only characteristic is that there are more yellow skin, but I don't care, this kind of yellow skin, black hair, black eyes people, it is also common in their own territory, but it is rarely so concentrated.
"Find them a better manor in the city, even if I gave it to Baron Ronal." Terrance instructed the old butler beside him, and at the same time, the voice also reached the ears of several coachmen sent by Barony Ronal. Several people bowed slightly to Viscount Terrance.
Then he let the carriage go with him to the warehouse to arrange supplies, while several coachmen followed the old butler to the outer city to find a manor.
