Galloping north along the only avenue for a moment, Oss slowly became comfortable with horsemanship. www.biquge.info When he was on Earth, he was very fond of horseback riding, but at that time he was limited to walking in the horse farm. In Azeroth, the aristocracy learned to ride from an early age, which was not only an aristocratic culture that must be mastered, but also one of the necessary skills.

"In the drawing room, when I lifted you up, you seemed to look different." After a while, Oss slowed down by tugging on the reins and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The Trojan four lightly clamped the horse's belly and went hand in hand with Oss. It's just that the four of them look at each other, and they always look like they want to say something.

Oss looked left and right at his childhood friends, and he already had a rough idea of what was going on. I'm afraid the problem is still in some common sense that he himself has overlooked. Therefore, Oss pondered for a moment and asked, "As far back as I can remember, there seems to be no farmland in our town of Blackwood, nor in Stratholm and Talon County. How is the food problem solved? Is there a granary reserve in the town? ”

Troy replied, "It's all ready-to-go, and from the west, there are three or four farms in Sidaronmir and Tirisfa, and we don't have a suitable place to grow in East Dalongmir." ”

"There are only a few farms in the whole kingdom? Why not burn forests for reclamation? ”

Oss asked, whether it was Troy and Trogda on his right, or Seth and Marcus on his left, they all looked at each other.

"The ......," said Troy, bewildered, "doesn't have to do this?" Burning forest land to reclaim farmland is more than worth the loss. ”

"Why? Will the harvest of just a few farms be enough to take on the people of the whole country? ”

"I can't finish it." Seth explained in detail, "Not only that, but we also sell to the elves in the north, and those long-eared artists don't farm. ”

"......" Oss couldn't imagine at this moment, how big a farm it must be to handle the population of the two kingdoms, "How big is the farm?" How many crops are ripe in a year? How's the harvest going? ”

Oss asked, suddenly a little cold. The four Trojans also understood, feeling that their little young master didn't understand the situation at all.

"Young Master......" Seth stiffened his head and said to Oscop, "Natural growth is basically once a month, so you don't have to worry about not having enough food." If something really happens and food is urgently needed, just let the great magicians ripen it. It's almost overnight, and the next day it's ready to be harvested. ”

"Huh!?" Oss was surprised for a moment, unable to imagine. In his childhood memories, there is no information about this. And during the three years he spent in the dwarf kingdom, he spent most of his time at the top of the mountain to feel the power, and he didn't have time to go on a field trip. However, Oss remembered that there was only one frozen stone farm in the whole of Danmoro, which was responsible for all the food supply of the dwarves.

"That's true." Troy continued, "Not only are all kinds of crops, including herbs and fruits, but if they are urgently needed, there are great herbalists and great botanists who are proficient in ripening magic, and they can ripen in one night. ”

"That's what happened!" Oss couldn't help but sigh. He thought that on the earth, most of the wars that have occurred in human beings for thousands of years are fundamentally due to lack of food and resources!

Suddenly, two more things came to Os's mind.

The first thing is a mission that I used to be in the game. So, Oss asked his partners on the left and right again, "How big is the pumpkin when it's ripe?" ”

When the four Trojans heard this, they all clamped their horses' bellies with their legs and gave Osby a free hand to them. They were all of different sizes, but even the youngest Marcus, Oss could tell that the ripe pumpkin was at least more than a meter tall and about one and a half meters in diameter.

"That's nice......" Oss sighed softly. Then he remembered the panda man, who loved to cook. It looks like the farmland that has been carefully cultivated by the panda farmers, such as radishes and cabbage, is several meters tall when ripe, which is extremely huge!

After a moment of emotion, Oss asked about the second thing that came to his mind: "In addition to crops, plants, and herbs, can creatures ripen?" Like some kind of critter? ”

The reason why Oss asked this was because the word "ripening" reminded him of a man, a female half-orc - Garona! It seems that this female half-orc was raised by Gul'dan using magic overnight when she was a child!

Seth replied, "Yes, the great magicians of Dalaran have created a construct called a corpse puppet to serve as a garrison. How exactly to do it is a secret. ”

Oss was silent, thinking in his heart as he slowly walked away. After answering Oss's question, the four Trojans did not speak again, and they stood guard on either side of Oss, keeping their guard.

Shaking his head slightly, Oss put some thoughts behind him for a moment and continued to ask: "Usually a family of three, how much money does it take to maintain food and clothing in a year?" ”

"Just food and clothing?" Seth asked rhetorically.

"Hmm."

"No money." Seth replied.

“……”

Fortunately, Seth was very discerning, and he hurriedly explained to Oss: "Slaves are not counted, ordinary people can only survive by taking refuge in the lords, as long as they can pay taxes on time, the food will naturally be supplied by the lords." But it's just the most common food, and if you want to eat well and live well in the territory, you have to work hard. ”

"Why do you have to take refuge in the lord to survive? Since farming is simple and you don't have to worry about the harvest, isn't it good to be self-reliant? ”

"Uh......" Not only was Seth speechless, but Troy, Trogda, and Marcus were also speechless.

Troy pointed to the forest beside everyone, which was quickly skimmed, and said, "There are wild beasts ten miles out of the city, and there are fierce beasts all over the place if you are too far away from the town. The deeper you go, the more powerful existences there are, and no one knows what monsters are in the deepest depths. Not only that, but there are also roaming bandits, and even the occasional troll. If you don't take refuge in the powerful lords and don't live in the territory, even if ordinary people gather together, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for even a month. ”

"Oh! I see. Oss suddenly realized.

There was silence again, and Oss raised his right hand and clenched his fist, he took several deep breaths, trying to adjust his mind. Admittedly, he hadn't thought of this aspect at all before, and it was because he already had great power. Unconsciously, he has ignored all kinds of dangers in the wilderness. And this arrogant and complacent mentality is undoubtedly more dangerous than external dangers!

Oss then asked about how the commoners lived in the territory, what jobs they could do, what wages they were paid, and the general price of goods. He then learns more about all aspects of Kurogi, including his father's reputation.

"How much is the poll tax a year? Is this the only tax? ”

"That's not necessarily, the taxes are set by the lords themselves, and each town is different. His Majesty the King only collects taxes from the lords, and the lords collect taxes from their respective subjects. ”

Marcus suddenly interjected happily: "Young Master, our Black Wood Town and Dalong County, that is the best place in the entire kingdom!" The lord only collects the poll tax according to the year, and it is only twenty silver coins! ”

Trogda added: "Those who live under the territory of the Barov family are in bad luck! Who in the kingdoms doesn't know that the family is greedy for money, snobbish, and keen to use intrigues and tricks to expand constantly! ”

"Enough, shut up! The matter of the noble lord, can you talk nonsense! Troy leaned out and punched Trogda.

Oss didn't feel much about this, and he didn't care about the nobility of the human race. As for the deeds of the Barov family, he had some impressions, but he did not investigate them with his own eyes, and he would not blindly draw conclusions. It's just now that Oss finally knows exactly what a fortune the five bags of treasure the teacher gave him at the time of parting! It is no exaggeration to say that he could spend money to buy a new title, buy a large piece of land, and build a town by himself as a lord!

Knowing the basics of common sense, Oss continued to ask questions about the Terrans themselves. And the first thing he asked was the system: "Are there many slaves?" Where did they come from? And the servants and maids in my house, what is the situation? ”

"Not much, just robbers, murderers, and captured trolls." At this moment, Seth has completely incarnated as Oss's general knowledge teacher, "There has been no war in many years, and there is no source of slaves. They all work on farms and mines, and civilians rarely do these jobs. As for the people in the young master's family, they are all hired laborers, innocent people of the territory. ”

"Although it is just food and housing, and there is no fixed salary, whoever is unwilling to go to the young master's house to work is a fool!" Marcus added.

Oss just smiled and shook his head. By this time, of course, he had already understood everything. It is not easy to survive in Azeroth, and there are only two ways for ordinary humans to live well: in addition to clinging to the strong, the only way to make themselves stronger!

What should be understood, basically understood. Oss looked left and right at his companions and said with a smile, "Now you should understand, I have little impression of common sense. When I was a child, I didn't care about all these things, and I have been staying in the dwarf kingdom for the past three years. So, what's going on when I'm at home? ”

After a big circle, the problem turned back again. This time, Seth replied bluntly: "Young master, we thought that you didn't need our allegiance......"

"Huh? Of course I need you, we're walking together, aren't we? ”

"Then why then?"

"It seems that I made a mistake, what should be the correct response?" Oss asked, recalling the past three hundred years ago. At that time, Uncle Jigax also swore an oath to follow him, and his response at that time was to lift him up.

Then, the Trojans realized that they were thinking too much. Then one by one, he happily compared this so-called "Terran allegiance ceremony".

When Oss figured out the ritual, he was noncommittal. But he just smiled and said to his friends: "It's so troublesome, do we have to do it all over again?" I hope we can always be like this, if you want to call me young master, you can call me young master, and if you want to call me Oss, you can call Oos. We are not only partners, but also comrades-in-arms! ”

However, Oss's answer made his four companions shout in unison, "Master! ”

Such an abrupt title made Oss stumble, and he was really thundered: "Hey! You guys are really ...... Replace this title for me......"

"Your Excellency!"

"What's the big one...... Oss thought about it and came to a conclusion, "It's good to call the boss, this sounds more pleasing to the ear." ”

"Uh......" The four Trojans looked at each other again, and they didn't dare to shout this title, "That, young master, the title 'boss' sounds like a gangster leader and a robber leader." If your lord knew that we called you that, he would have punished us for guarding the gates for another three years! ”

"Haha! Drive! Oss laughed and waved his whip to speed up. And his four companions also accelerated and followed closely behind.
