Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first, have more children and raise more cattle!" - Sentinel Ridge in the Western Wilderness, a sign on a conspicuous wall.

"My lord, you are proficient in magic, and you are definitely not good at farming, and we crop men only know about the things in the crop field. Thanks to the blessing of the adults, we have recovered a lot of land, but it has become difficult to turn over the land. The land in our western region is barren and the soil is very dry, and if we don't dig deep and plough deeply, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive on the crops.

Under normal circumstances, we will organize strong laborers and directly use manpower to excavate with hoes, but the effect is not high, and only large livestock are used. "The old man pulled his beard, worried!

"My father is right, a strong man like me digs hard every day, but he can't turn over much ground, and he is very tired. It's a pity that the big livestock in this neighborhood have basically been lost in recent years, and there is an old Carl's family at the front door, and there is a thin old cow, barely taking care of something. Heiko resigned as a soldier of the People's Army, and now concentrates on raising his daughter-in-law and baby at home, and is a real strong laborer on the farm, and he is also worried at this time.

Iger thought for a moment, and remembered that when he first entered the Western Wilderness, he met old Marbrandt on the road, as if the family was working on horses.

"Will the horse succeed?"

"Of course, you can, big animals refer to cattle and horses, and horses are not as good as cattle when they turn over the ground, mainly because their endurance is not as good as that of cattle, and they have to rest after pulling for a while, but they are much stronger than manpower, but they are more stable and easy to use, and they have their own strengths and weaknesses. Farmers prefer to raise cattle more. ”

The mage smiled and asked, "What if I say, I have two horses?" "Actually, he has six horses. It was seized from the Diafi horse team, with six sets of horses and carts. I didn't think much about it at the time, and just put it away.

The eyes of the two fathers and sons lit up and looked at each other, and old Sardin asked eagerly: "My lord has a horse?" ”

"Yes, there are two horses, they are not good horses, they can't go to battle, they can only pull bad horses for carts."

"It can't be a bad horse. For our farmers, what we can pull is a high-quality livestock. Now there is an urgent shortage of large cattle in the western wilderness, all of which are caused by the brotherhood, and there are no cattle and horses everywhere they go, and most of them are killed for meat and abuse. If the adults have horses, the old man is cheeky. Willing to buy it! ”

The honest Hekra pulled his father's sleeve and whispered, "But we don't have any money?" ”

The old man rolled his eyes: "We have land?" ”

The eldest son smiled bitterly: "But look at the adults, do you seem to be a person who wants to buy land and plant?" ”

The old man was stunned...... After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Drink, and mention it again at this time!" ”

Iger watched the excitement from the sidelines: "How much land can a horse exchange for now?" ”

"If you don't say anything, you have 25 acres of fertile land, and now there is a shortage of cattle and horses in the west, and more than 30 acres have been replaced."

"Good! Then I will sell my two horses to your house. I don't take advantage of you, and I will pay you fifty acres of land. Let's go, go out and inspect the goods! ”

Iger stood up and took the lead and walked out, the father and son looking at each other. I was stunned for a while before I followed.

Good horse!

As soon as I went out, I saw two horses in their prime of life. Even with the improvised carriage dragged behind, of course, the ore on it had already been left in Egg's space. Seeing the two of them staring eagerly at the two horses as if they had met their first love "Qingren", Iger knew that the business was done: "The carriage is a gift, buy one get one free, haha." ”

"Fifty acres of land for two good horses, of course we have no problem, the title deed can be delivered directly, in the final analysis, it takes advantage of the adult, I have to accept your personal feelings. But my lord, what do you want to do? ”

"Seed!"

"Huh?"

Seeing that the two of them were inexplicable, Iger explained: "I am wandering all over the world, and it is impossible to settle down to farm, but with my friendship with your family, I am willing to entrust these fifty acres of land to you, and in addition to the normal handover, fifty percent of the harvest in the field will belong to me, and fifty percent will belong to you." Of course, business is business, and the title deed belongs to me, no problem, right? ”

"Of course, of course. With your horse, it's no problem to cultivate some land, and my Sardinia family took over this job, but we really don't have a face to see each other for half a point, or ...... three-seven"

"Yes, that's it! Half of it, you keep my share for me, and usually every other year, I will come and take my share. Walk, go in and continue drinking and eating meat. ”

……

With a slight drunkenness, Iger continued on the road, in fact, he basically had no love for the title deed or anything, and it was not bad to collect some rent every year, and it was okay if he didn't have it, and he always wanted to help them. Western people are sincere, and they are afraid that they will lose face if they send it directly, so they are half sold and half sent like doing business, and people remember that you are a good one, worth it!

There shouldn't be much way to go to Sentinel Ridge, so Iger rode his horse down the road, and when he saw some buildings in the distance, he rolled over and summoned four wagons full of food from the space. Naturally, these grains did not come from the reserve grain of the kobolds in the mines, but the grain and grass that were intercepted by Egger before they entered the mine, and they were the goods that the Brotherhood headquarters traded with the kobolds, after all, they were sold by humans, and they were different from the messy grains of the kobolds.

Iger unloaded the ore from the wagons and moved the grain to the wagons, each with a boar or mountain dog hanging on it, and he wanted to fund these tenacious westerners and at the same time make some extra money, which was a matter of mutual benefit, not robbery.

Four wagons laden with goods, at the urging of Knight Egger, slowly marched along the main road towards Sentinel Ridge......

After a short time, a group of about a dozen KPA soldiers rushed out of the checkpoint and faintly surrounded the convoy, but after seeing the pass shown by Egger, they watched with envy as the convoy followed the checkpoint and entered Sentinel Ridge. Of course, a soldier sat on each wheel, who acted as a coachman on a temporary basis. At the same time, one of the scouts reported inside.

Not long after, Grian. Stallman, leading three or four staff officers, treated Iger as a guest of honor and greeted him respectfully.

"Look, what good news has Lord Iger brought to us?" Stallman had been sad lately, and when he saw the four carts of grain that Iger had brought, he had a good idea of what he was doing, and he made a rare joke.

"Lord Stallman is serious, I am a small mage, my ability is limited, but I have the heart to do something for the western men. No, on the way, I happened to run into a team of horses that went to the Jangorod mine to trade, and I was lucky to take it in one go, and the loot is here. What price are adults willing to pay for this deal? ”

Four carriages, each with four bags of grain, as well as the carcasses of four wild boars or mountain dogs that Iger made up, and even some confiscated ordinary weapons, according to the current situation of the current shortage of food in Sentinel Ridge, the price is afraid that it will be expensive, Stallman is a little hesitant, the price is too high, his own family is too losing, and he is afraid that it will chill people's hearts, and people will poke their backbones and scold, they are all short of food to this one, and they are still holding on to that little money, and he didn't dare to speak lightly for a while. However, the little mage is not willing to negotiate this price for too long, after all, he has the heart to help, there is no need to make this money, and he makes himself vulgar for no reason.

"In this way, according to the price of the grain traded between Stormwind City and you last month, just send someone to count it, this price is fine, right?" Iger waved his hand absentmindedly and found a chair to sit down.

Of course, there is no problem, how does last month's price compare with this month? The gap is still very large, which shows that the mage in front of him is not a stingy person, Stallman naturally does not have any opinions, but his heart is open, and he orders a staff officer to go down to calculate, and at the same time orders to send someone to prepare to carry the grain.

"Don't be busy, I won't bother the two masters. These horses and carriages will be settled into gold coins at the current price. If you can see it. ”

Of course you can see it, how can you not look at it. What is most lacking in the west now is big livestock, farms everywhere are in an emergency, there is a lack of big cattle to pull carts, Stormwind can supply grain, but there is no reason to supply cattle and horses, these are all good things that money can't buy, Stallman is secretly grateful, waved his hand and asked the staff officer to give him a high price, and then personally poured a cup of tea for Egger to show respect.

"Your Excellency Egger, what do you think of the current situation in the west?" Stallman asked casually, this made the little mage a little unpredictable, he was a big man, asking a little mage like himself about the situation? What does it mean?

"What do you mean by that, Commander?"

"It means nothing else, it's just small talk, by the way, ask your opinion on the situation, and you can say whatever you want."

"Huh? What I feel the most is the drought and food shortage in the west. If you want to talk about the current situation, to be honest, I'm afraid it's not good on your side. After the Brotherhood is connected with the South Sea Pirate Regiment, it will be easier than you to replenish manpower and deliver supplies. ”

"But our People's Army is currently gradually regaining lost territory, what is the wrong way?"

"In my opinion, the opponent is deliberately backing down, like a fist, retracting and hitting it again, it will be more powerful. I see that the current main force of the Brotherhood is in the area of the Death Mine, and it has been absorbing resources from the outside, so I'm afraid that it is nesting in it and preparing to do something big! ”

Stallman leaned forward: "What's the big deal?" ”

Iger laughed, "I'm not Van Cleef, how do I know?" Okay, I'll just say it casually, if it's unfounded, just listen to it, don't take it seriously. By the way, the kobold of the Jangorod Mine, I've already killed all the accounts, why don't you find a time to pay the payment? ”

Stallman and several staff officers were stunned for a moment, and one of them asked a little more hurriedly: "Your Excellency didn't lie to us, did you?" It's heavily guarded, and there is information that there are not many kobolds and thieves, and even pirates are coming to ...... it."

A huge head, casually thrown at his feet......
