Chapter Eighty-Three: Transaction Completed: New Business
And take it for granted, if you are strong, then you should protect us, we are a race! He didn't want Morton to go down the same path, so he gave him a constant spell in the hope that he could go to the human world to survive, but he didn't expect Morton to go down this path again.
If it weren't for Li Youran, I'm afraid that even if Morton becomes stronger in the future, he will still not be able to run the fate of being dragged down by these lazy bones, and finally embark on the same path as his father.
"In this case, then you can rest first, those who want to apply can sign up for that person, say what you want to do, and then according to your table, he will arrange what you want to do, this vacant land will be your settlement in the future, the tent or something is a meeting gift for you, and you will have to pay for it yourself when you want to repair the house in the future, so everyone, please cherish each other."
Li Youran walked to Morton's side, he had been watching Li Youran and the half-elf talk from a distance, and he didn't really relax until Li Youran came over.
"Look! It's as simple as that, and that's it. ”
"Thank you! I think I was wrong before, I have never seen them so energetic, I used to take care of them carefully, but everyone rarely saw a smile on their faces, they were all gloomy, even if I took care of them well, but there are still people who will leave, I didn't understand before, now I can understand, there is no difference between living and dying without a goal, I think I know why they left. ”
"It's best if you can see it, how about it, my chief of guard?" Li leisurely joked.
"What can I say when you say that? Don't forget that we've fought side by side, Lord Lord, Captain of the Guard Morton reports to you. ”
"This is my biggest takeaway of the day, and welcome, my chief of guard." Li Youran is very happy, he finally paid and reaped the rewards, and the gains were not small, not only a half-elf tribe, but also a super archer, this is a cattle man who can snipe thousands of meters away, don't be too bullish!
"My lord, there's another team of soldiers outside, what should I do?" A man came running from the refugee area and said.
"See how many people there are?" Li asked leisurely.
"No, but there's a big flag with a bear on it." The visitor described it.
Li Youran suddenly appeared, it seemed that the viscount's grain transport team was coming, Li Youran nodded and said: "I know, you go down first, don't worry that you are not an enemy this time." ”
Li Youran took Modern, Zig, and Ellington out to greet the Viscount's team, and saw a group of people approaching Li Youran's castle at a rapid marching speed, and smoke and dust were raised in the distance, and it seemed that there were a lot of people.
After waiting for a while, I finally saw the team, a knight riding a wildebeest in front and behind a few cavalry, and then a convoy, and hundreds of pikemen, it seems that the Lord Viscount is very careful about transporting food, and even knights and cavalry have been sent, you must know that these are very valuable troops.
"Welcome, welcome! The knight had come from afar and entered the castle to have a drink together. Ziggy walked up and said hello.
"Who is this?" The knight asked, looking at Ziegy and the people behind him.
"I forgot to introduce, this is my lord baron, I am the baron's housekeeper, and I came to greet you when I heard the announcement." Ziggy said with a smile, and then introduced everyone to each other.
"It turns out that you are Lord Baron, I met a group of refugees on the road, they said that your castle was attacked, I heard about it and came non-stop, it seems that it is completely unnecessary, Lord Baron thinks it has been solved."
After hearing that Zige was the butler, the knight didn't care about him, just said hello, and then went to Li Youran, Li Youran naturally didn't give him a good look, just said lightly: "It's just a trivial matter, a bunch of thieves are not to worry, are you here to transport grain?" ”
"Yes, Lord Baron, Lord Viscount hopes to be transported over quickly, I wonder if you are ready for the other world?" The knight asked cautiously, he had heard of this person, not only a merchant but also a mage, if he could not offend, he should not be offended, and it was better to be careful what he said.
"Hmmm! Just load the truck here, let the vehicle pull to the side, and I'll let the food out. Li Youran's order was naturally carried out immediately, and then Li Youran opened the space of the temple, and the grain appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, thirty tons of grain, put there is a small mountain, and the eyes of the knights who saw it bulged out.
Ziggy and Morton are no longer surprised, Morton is a person who has followed Li Youran to the Alternate Plane, so naturally he will not be surprised for a little space spell, while Ziggy has seen it several times, and no matter how much surprise he has, he has used up his surprise, and it is those soldiers and knights who are excited to watch it one by one, such a scene is not something that can be seen casually, and there are blows when they go back.
"That's it, you load the car first, call me when you're done, I'll go with you, there are just some things that need to be solved." Li Youran said to the knight, of course the knight was overjoyed, it was very stressful to escort so much food, and it would naturally be much safer to have a mage with him.
More than a dozen carriages were filled with food, and the food that was built high also let the refugees see, and there was a new look at the strength of the territory, if the mage is a guarantee of safety, then these grains are reassuring, so that their impetuous breath changed suddenly, and they waited in the territory to be called as serfs by the lord.
On the way back to the town, nothing had happened, much to the relief of the frightened knight, who finally saw the gates of the city when it was almost dark.
The grain was finally delivered to the Viscount, who happily asked Li Youran to drink, but Li Youran refused.
Li Youran said with a straight face: "Lord Viscount, may I ask if there is something wrong with the agreement between us?" ”
The viscount was dumbfounded, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "How is it possible, there is nothing wrong, the quantity and conditions can be matched." ”
"I'm not talking about this! Lord Viscount, in fact, my territory has just been attacked, and if I hadn't rushed from my family territory, I'm afraid my castle would have been in ruins. ”
Li Youran's words made the viscount change color and said, "What do you mean? ”
"I mean, you've got spies around you!" Li said it bluntly.
Li Youran didn't know what would happen next, but later, according to the news brought back by Ellington, who stayed there, there was a battle in the Viscount's Mansion, and a rebellion was inevitable, although the Viscount successfully found the traitor, but failed to keep the traitor, a fire broke out in the Viscount's Mansion, and then several people took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The viscount was very annoyed and accelerated the deployment of aggression against his neighbors, Li Youran only smiled after knowing this, this has nothing to do with him, of course he will go to which country to settle accounts, but, not now, the most important thing now is to make money, and there is not much money in reality.
This time the food made a lot of money, plus some daily necessities brought with them, especially soap and perfume, these two things, simply sold crazy, those caravan people after seeing the powerful soap, immediately began to rush to buy, watching their mud-covered hands under the effect of soap, become white and clean, especially also exuding a faint fragrance, which made them think of the smell on their own body, although they couldn't smell their own, but others could still do it.
Merchants with a keen sense of business flocked to the end of the day Li Youran offered a sky-high price of ten gold coins, but they were still sold out, and if the profits of these dozens of soaps were known by domestic businessmen, I am afraid that Li Youran would be kidnapped immediately and let him open up business routes for them.
And perfume is a magic weapon that makes Li Youran make a lot of money, he will not be stupid enough to give up an opportunity to make a lot of money, each merchant gets a small bottle of perfume, and then let them try it out, when they are fascinated by the perfume, they say that the perfume needs to hold an auction, of course, the auction is located in Li Youran's territory, if the chamber of commerce needs, you can participate in the auction at that time.
This news made the merchants scream and whet their appetites, but now they are told that they are out of stock, and watching the money in hand slip away, that feeling is really torturous.
Li Youran floated away with a large amount of gold, making a lot of money, Li Youran really loves this world to death, and most importantly, he belongs to a vested interest group, an aristocracy, a group that does not need to pay taxes.
After returning to the territory, he began to instruct his subordinates to build a large auction hall, and the market also needs to be built, as well as housing and hotels, etc., all of which are needed, Li Youran wants to build this place into a commercial city, of course, this needs a special product to attract businessmen, and Li Youran's choice is perfume.
Fortunately, there were just a few thousand refugees and more than a hundred captives in the territory, all of which were good laborers, and Li Youran needed to pay at least a little food and promise to make them serfs in the future.
There are some half-elves who want to work, but the refugees obviously can't accept a foreign race, among them, although they don't dare to say anything because of the lord's orders, but the half-elves obviously feel such hostility, so soon there will be no half-elves to work, based on this, Li Youran instead conscripted the half-elves into the army, anyway, he also hopes that the half-elves will be trained as his own archer troops.
This practice also made Morton's gratitude reach the highest, according to his opinion, Li Youran obviously saw that the half-elf's life was unsatisfactory, because his relationship deliberately opened up a team to accommodate the half-elf, and the training and commander of the archers was Morton, which made him not grateful.
