Chapter 157: Buying a Territory
After walking around the bazaar, Lin Feng took Crosier back to his home.
Lin Feng sat down on the chair, saw Clossier standing restrainedly, pointed to the stool and said with a smile: "Sit down, take it easy." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you." Klossier sat down lightly in his chair, and it was obvious that he was still a little nervous.
Lin Feng smiled and asked, "Klossier, do you know an herb called White Silk?" ”
"White silk? You know, white silk, also known as old man's grass, is a very common herb, some old people when they are unwell, drink the water soaked in white silk will feel comfortable, others drink it seems to have no effect, so there is the name of old man's grass. Klossier almost blurted out, but he was puzzled why Lin Feng would mention the white silk.
The white silk is like a weed, and the leaves are white and as slender as a hair, so it is called white silk.
White silk is a very common herb, which can be found everywhere in the fields, and because it is not valuable, Crosier will not pick white silk.
The use of white silk is still unclear, only some symptoms of the elderly will be quickly relieved after drinking the water soaked in white silk.
There is also information about Bai Si in Lin Feng's memory, and according to the elderly diseases targeted by Bai Si, Lin Feng guessed that Bai Si is likely to have a significant effect on diseases such as hypertension and high blood lipids.
The physical fitness of human beings in the Bright Continent is generally good, and there are very few people who can get high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and only among the elderly will people get these diseases, and these old people will soon recover their health after drinking the water soaked in white silk.
Lin Feng has some guesses about the effect of white silk, but he is not very sure that once the true effect is determined, selling white silk will be a good way to make money.
Of course, Lin Feng will not sell the finished white silk stupidly, but will sell it after deep processing, and Lin Feng's flower tea factory is prepared for this.
"Klossier, can you get me some white silk now?"
"Absolutely." Although he didn't understand Lin Feng's intentions, Klossier still agreed very respectfully.
"Then go ahead, I need to use the white silk as soon as possible." Lin Feng said.
"Yes, sir." Crossier agreed, and left with a head full of doubts.
It wasn't long before Barto Sr. returned, and brought news of Baron Kilipps to Lin Feng.
The Kilyps family is a veteran local aristocracy, having lived in this land for more than sixty years, and has gone through four generations of barons, and in the third baron, the Kelips family moved out of the territory and lived in Dolan City.
The name of this generation of the Cillippers family is Koopman. Kilyps, is the fourth baron of the Kilips family.
Koopman. Baron Kilips was a favorite drinker and was notoriously drunk in the city, and the exact address of his house was easy to find.
Lin Feng took Old Barto to visit Koopman. Baron Kilips.
"Your Excellency the Mage, is there anything I can do for you?"
For Lin Feng's visit to the strange magician, Koopman. Baron Kilips was amazed, but Baron Kelipps also knew that a noble magician was not something he could afford to neglect, so he immediately welcomed him warmly.
A baron of real power may not be afraid of a formal magician, but Baron Kilips is not a real baron, he is just a down-and-out nobleman with no power, and he does not want to offend a mysterious and powerful official magician.
Lin Feng did not be polite to Baron Kelipps, but said directly: "Baron Kilips, I want to build a mage tower on your territory to provide my retreat, so I hope to be able to buy your territory, I have already asked Master Clauwell, he said that your territory is barren, and you can buy it all with only eight hundred gold coins, in order to compensate for your loss, I am willing to buy your territory on the premise of eight hundred gold coins, plus one hundred gold coins, for a total of nine hundred gold coins." ”
Lin Feng naturally didn't ask about Master Clauwell's territory, but at this time, bringing Master Clauville out would probably be more conducive to the negotiations.
"Master Clauwell? Nine hundred gold coins. Hearing the name of Master Clauwell, Baron Kilips was a little more jealous, and thinking about the high price of nine hundred gold coins, Baron Kelipps was a little moved.
As Lin Feng said, the territory of the Baron de Kilipps family is a barren land, and the barren land not only does not grow good crops, but also does not attract more farmers, and the annual tax is a very low figure.
The territory of the Baron Kelipps family is not small, but the land is too barren, according to the current market price, 800 gold coins is already a high price, and 900 gold coins is already a sky-high price.
Being able to sell his territory for a sky-high price of nine hundred gold coins, Baron Kilips has already taken a big advantage.
Although he took advantage of it, Baron Kilipps still had some reluctance, knowing that this territory had been in their family's name for more than sixty years, and it was too easy to sell it, at least...... It will also be sold for at least a thousand gold coins.
The golden gold coins occupied Baron Kilipps's mind, greed blinded him, Baron Kilips chuckled and said: "Your Excellency, you should know that the territory is an important surname for a nobleman, and this territory has been in the hands of our Kelipps family for sixty years, and all our family's expenses depend on this territory, without this territory, our Cillips family will lose the source of livelihood. ”
After a pause, Baron Kilips said the point: "So you see, your bid is probably still too low, at least add another three hundred gold coins." ”
Baron Kelips had an idea, and changed the one hundred gold coins he had just thought of to three hundred gold coins as soon as he exited.
"Nine hundred gold coins plus three hundred gold coins is one thousand two hundred gold coins, which is really a brilliant idea." Baron Kilips was secretly applauding his brilliant idea......
Lin Feng's face immediately sank, adding three hundred gold coins didn't matter to him, but Lin Feng knew that this matter must not be agreed, otherwise it would be a bad start, and things would be even more troublesome.
Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "The territory of the Kelipps family has been abandoned for many years, and there is not much tax revenue every year, plus the tax that has to be handed over to the king, there is not much tax left that can fall into your pocket. ”
"And I know that it's not the taxes on the territory that keep your Kilips family up for their expenses, it's the income from your brewery."
"Think about it, the income of 900 gold coins is enough for you to double the size of the brewing workshop, and the gold coins you can earn at that time are the real big heads."
The matter of the winemaking workshop was also inquired about by Lao Bato, because he knew the existence of the winemaking workshop, so he did not put Lin Feng in a passive position.
Baron Kilips obviously didn't expect that the strange magician in front of him actually knew about the brewing workshop, he smiled awkwardly, but still argued forcefully: "But you should also understand that the territory is not very demanding for a nobleman's important surname, as long as you add three hundred gold coins." ”
Lin Feng smiled coldly and stood up calmly: "Baron Kilips, nine hundred gold coins is already a very high price, I don't think anyone will offer a higher price than me, I know that you have a deep affection for the territory, so I will give you a day to think about it, and you can give me an answer tomorrow." ”
"By the way, I have agreed to the invitation of Master Crowwell, Master Walcoat and Master Isolde to have dinner with the three masters, if your territory cannot be sold to me, then I think I can only ask the three masters to find another territory for me to build a mage tower."
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow."
Hearing Lin Feng mention the names of the three masters, Baron Kilips flashed a trace of anger and horror.
"What is this? Suppress me with the names of the three masters? Baron Kilipps was very angry in his heart, but it was undeniable that the names of the three masters were still very useful, and Baron Kilips knew everything about the power of the three masters in Doran City, that was a person who could make the ground tremble by stomping his feet, and he would definitely not be able to provoke the joint efforts of the three masters.
Despite his horror and anger, Baron Kilips's mind was clear, and he knew that it was best for him to do so.
Seeing that Lin Feng was leaving, Baron Kilips immediately shouted loudly: "Dear Your Excellency, I suddenly feel that what you said is absolutely correct, nine hundred gold coins is a very good price, and I promised to sell my territory." ”
Lin Feng stopped, turned around, and said with a smile, "It's a very wise choice for you to do this. ”
Lin Feng said again: "I like to do things neatly, since you have agreed to sell the territory, then we will go to the noble council in this city now and complete the formalities." ”
"As you wish." Now, Baron Kilips could only smile and agree.
The Council of Nobles is an authority that governs the nobility, and its members are composed of local nobles and are used to administer the noble members in the jurisdiction.
The power of the noble council is quite large, and any matter related to the nobility must go to the noble council to deal with.
Land transactions between nobles also needed to be handled in the noble council.
Now that he had come to the Council of Nobles, a baron on duty received a land deal between the two.
Baron Kilips was willing to sell the land, and Lin Feng was also eligible to buy the land, and after Lin Feng quietly handed over a small bag of gold coins, the baron on duty happily completed the formalities.
The sale and purchase of land can be said to be quite strictly managed, or it can be said to be quite loosely managed.
If the object is a commoner, then the management is quite strict, and the object of the nobles is quite loosely managed, especially this kind of small land transaction between small nobles, and the noble council is also turning a blind eye.
Of course, this is also a premise, the transaction area of land must not exceed the rated amount, the corresponding noble level, you can have the corresponding area of land, the title is not enough, you can never have more than the title of land.
Baron Kilips's land is not small, but it is not too big, and as Lin Feng's official magician, it is enough to legally buy it.
The formalities have been completed, and from now on, this territory will be owned by Lin Feng.
