Chapter 0141: The Magician of Coral City
Of the four hundred and seventy-six serfs, about two-thirds were women, and there were many babies and children, and many old people, and a small number of men in the prime of life, who were regarded as excellent labor in the serf trade market, and whose prices were much more expensive than those of the elderly, children, and women.
In the eyes of another lord, the quality of this batch of serfs was very poor.
In addition to the value of craftsmen, women and children are burdensome, and craftsmen are all old people, which is extremely not cost-effective.
But Liszt had no complaints—women could marry the Lords to offset the imbalance between men and women in Flower Town, children and babies were nurtured to be candidates for future knights, and veteran craftsmen were skilled enough to produce a large number of apprentices.
Of course.
Middle-aged men are equally important to Flower Town, whether it is farming, building roads and docks, they need prime-aged labor.
So on the surface, Liszt still had to complain: "Mr. Frank, the quality of these serfs is not very good. Women are what I need by name, and it's okay to have more, but there are too many children, and the craftsmen are all elderly, isn't that a little fooling me?"
"Oh, Baron Liszt, I don't dare fool the blood of the Tulip family. Frank laughed, "This batch of serfs was brought together by the fleet from various serf markets, and the labor force in the prime of life was bought out by others early on, you know, without war, there would be no high-quality serfs." ”
"So, now, the fleet sails again, and it should be able to buy high-quality serfs, right? The Iron Ridge Kingdom has already started a war with the Eagle Kingdom, and my father and they have also gone to war. ”
Frank's eyes moved: "You still have to continue the serf trade...... Oh yes, and the seafood market brings you a ton of gold. ”
"The benefits of the seafood market, Mr. Frank is well aware, isn't it. Liszt didn't cry poor, after all, the other party has been helping Levi collect dividends, "I will get together a sum of gold coins as soon as possible, and I hope that the fleet can bring me another batch of serfs." ”
"There should be no problem, the tulip fleet goes to sea, always to do business, and now that the war has begun, the serf business is better done. So, how many serfs are you going to buy?"
"A thousand, including two hundred craftsmen. ”
"A thousand serfs, according to the price, need two hundred and forty gold coins. ”
"Before, the serf business was not good, and I could accept that the price was a little higher, but now during the war, the serfs are still so expensive, I can't accept it, Mr. Frank. ”
"War or not, the serf business was always fraught with risk......"
A bit of haggling.
The price of two hundred and ten gold coins was finally set.
Taking out the gold coins that had been saved for this time and moving the caravan's money and handing them to Frank, the smile on Liszt's face was not so gentle—he had to live a poor life again, and the feeling of the money bag being dried up was uncomfortable, especially after he was used to spending lavishly.
......
Refuses Frank's invitation to lunch under the pretext that "Little Shirley wants to see you", and his lunch is eaten in Mrs. Penelope's castle.
Lady Mary in the Tulip Castle also sent a servant to invite him, but he did not go, and was not familiar with Lady Mary. Li Vera also stayed here, and at the dining table, she asked Liszt vigorously: "Your terricity dog has grown so big, give it to me, how many gold coins do you want!"
What an international joke.
Although Shake Sen didn't release magic, others didn't know what it was capable of, but looking at its shape, it was also extraordinary.
This cannot be measured in gold coins!
Liszt responded coldly: "Dear sister, the first person Shake Sen saw when he opened his eyes was me, and no one recognized me except me." Even if you use the dragon coin, you can't get its approval, so give up this stupid idea. ”
Hearing the word "stupid", Li Weila's face was gloomy: "You are becoming more and more arrogant now, and you don't even dare to listen to your sister's words." ”
Liszt, with a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, cut the steak neatly: "I'm just telling you a fact, please stay sane." ”
Madame Penelope seemed to appreciate Liszt's domineering transformation now, and rarely helped him speak: "Livila, please eat like a lady, and don't always think about snatching something from Liszt." You want, you can choose a suitable husband from so many excellent nobles, and meet everything for you. ”
"Grandmother, you don't love me at all now. ”
"You have all grown up, my little girl, and the boys, grandmother is about to get old and confused, I just hope that the three of you brothers and sisters will get along in harmony, and take care of Lytton by the way, so that the blood of the Tulip family can flourish. ”
Lunch was not very harmonious.
After the meal, Li Vera pulled out her sword angrily and stopped in front of Liszt: "Like a warrior, fight with me, I want to prove that you are still the cowardly Liszt!"
Didn't wait for Liszt to respond.
Shaking Sen, who was lying lazily on the side, suddenly broke free from Tom's grasp and rushed towards Li Vera. The momentum was like that of a tiger descending from the mountain, roaring in a low voice, rolling up a gust of wind.
At that moment, cold sweat instantly trickled down Li Weila's face.
She felt herself enveloped in an intense murderous intent over her.
It was a kind of murder that could only be experienced in the face of irresistible forces and when her life was at stake—just like when she was seven years old, she whipped a fierce horse with a whip, only to have the horse rush at it and open its mouth to bite her—the difference is that she is now a knight of the earth, and the same is just as powerless to resist.
"Come back to Shake Sen!"
Liszt gave a faint command, and the slamming Sen braked suddenly, no longer rushing forward. But the kryptonite dog's eyes still flashed with a fierce light, staring at Li Vera viciously, and the feeling was that he would pounce on him at any time and choose someone to devour.
"It is a demonic beast of Thorn Ridge, and although it recognizes me as the master, its ferocity is not so easy to remove. Sorry to scare you, I still have something, I made an appointment, dear sister, let's talk next time. ”
After speaking, he smiled slightly.
took Shaker Sen and left the castle.
Li Vera's face was pale, she stood stupidly and didn't move, she didn't continue to be reckless in her words, and she was really scared when she pounced on it just now—after all, it was just a flower in a greenhouse.
On the balcony of the castle, Madame Penelope watered her new nightshade with a kettle, and there was no doubt that she could see the scene of what was happening at the gate of the castle.
She just muttered: "That's right, girls have to look like girls, boys have to look like boys." Melissa and Marry, the two Bichi, are not lacking in the ability to have children. ”
......
Liszt did not fool Livila.
He did make an appointment, or rather, he needed to find someone.
Directly came to a small town near Coral City, and looked at the dilapidated appearance of the town, his brows furrowed slightly: "Roma, is this here?"
"My lord, this is it, Moss Town, I've been to this town before. Rom Barrel replied.
"Whose fief is this town?"
"It used to be a baron's fief, but it went bankrupt and was taken back by the earl, and it has never been divided. ”
"It's indeed here, I've found what Galtai said, a two-story building with a white spire. Liszt waved his hand, "Let's go, go meet this Mr. Magician." ”
