Chapter 52: Buying a Fief (Part I)
After confirming that she wanted to use the bad idea proposed by Roth, Vivien motioned for Rothel to take Baizhan to the medical car and talk to Xiang Bo in advance.
After listening to the general statement, the upright Xiang Bo immediately disagreed. Vivien just lazily said that if that happens, the first armor to turn in is the vanguard.
Xiang Bo immediately sat up and said with a look of reminiscing about the past: "Speaking of which, a few years ago, I had a relationship with that Master Yanshi. Unexpectedly, when we meet again this time, Master Yanshi's ability is even better than back then......" Xiang Bo's face was full of admiration and admiration. In short, it really can't be true......
Vivien nodded. If it weren't for "that Yanshi-sama" Baizhan child sitting on the side, Vivian would have believed Xiang Bo's nonsense.
The three of them made up nonsense in detail, and Bai Zhan, the real central character of this storm, was at a loss......
Rothel's bad idea was to keep the armor and to hide the battle.
If it is now revealed to the outside world, Baizhan once singled out a xenomorph giant, the main force of the battle of Tonglin Road, the mastermind of closing the Dingguo Canyon, produced various rocket launchers and machine guns, and upgraded four or even five generations of Yan armor...... The whole world will go crazy about it. Especially the Eastern Continent will definitely tear its face and come directly to rob people. If you don't get it right, "relatives and friends" from various continents will emerge in a hundred battles. However, this is contrary to the real idea of Baizhan. Bai Zhan now wants to go to school in a low-key way to learn about the system of armor and armor.
Right now, Hundred Battles is Vivienne's slave. It is not very convenient to go to school in this capacity. How can a soldier be a slave? Moreover, the school will certainly reject the hundred battles of slavery status. Therefore, Vivien needs to give Baizhan a new identity, not too high, not too low. Even if it's a small sacrifice, it's worth it.
After making a plan, before entering the Cullinan Empire, Silver Moon Guard quietly changed his route that night. After hiding from the eyes and ears of the nations, Vivien led her troops into the place called the old barracks that Rothel mentioned.
It was an abandoned military camp, and the people did not want to live here because of the giants nearby. So this area has been completely barren for nearly a hundred years. Comparing the map in the bronze computer, Bai Zhan found that this area was a mining site of the Divine Empire in the past, and this military camp was the place where the mining area was guarded.
Entering the old barracks, the commander of the scout gave everyone a briefing on the situation: "It's been almost a hundred years since there was no one here. It's so close to the battlefield that no one wants to stay here. Therefore, it has always been regarded as a demarcation of national borders, and there is no practical significance. There are no garrisons, no residents, no one wants to come. If anything, there are some war slaves who have escaped here. You can guess what the living conditions are. ”
Baizhan walked while bowing his head and thinking about the problem. Vivien seemed to see some clues, and she asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Question, on what basis is the identity of human beings divided?"
Vivien was stunned for a moment, but still replied, "This! Power, strength, financial resources. If you have all three, you will be a superior person. Why is this asked? ”
"So if I have that, is there no threat to my life?" Baizhan asked curiously.
Vivien nodded, "Of course. It's just that if there is an enemy, then it is another story. How? Do you want to change your identity? ”
Bai Zhan shook his head and asked again, "If Vivien's status is higher, won't you have to worry about someone threatening you?" ”
Vivien was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Bai Zhan was obviously referring to what she said in the medical car when she was burned, and her heart warmed. "Yes. No matter where you are, as long as your status is high enough, no one will bully you. This is the law of the world. ”
"So, what we have to do is get stronger. in every sense. Bai Zhan looked at Vivian and said seriously: "Then, Sister Vivian, can there be a way to get the ownership of this land?" ”
"Here?" Vivien was stunned: "Yes, yes." This time, our Silver Moon Guard has made a great contribution, and Your Majesty will reward it. It's just that this place is deserted and inhabited, and you can't do anything here......"
"No, we can open factories here, build bases, upgrade our own civilization, and then sell the equipment, weapons, and other things that our factories produce to others who need them."
"Sell? Do you need money? Vivien asked curiously.
Bai Zhan replied very bluntly: "That's right, I need a lot of money and resources. Because in the Dingguo Canyon, I saw a threat, a threat to the world. If the giants in it come out, the current human civilization will be completely incapable of fighting against it, and can only be destroyed. ”
At the mention of this topic, Vivian also became serious: "Is it the giant seen on the alloy suspension bridge in Dingguo Canyon?" You're right. Indeed, if those giants come out, I am afraid that the human race will really be wiped out. However, in this world, Yanjia is still the main combat power, can anyone buy the weapons we sell? ”
Bai Zhan said confidently: "Yes." Our weapons allow soldiers to have the ability to deal with the lower giants, which can increase the combat effectiveness of even the most basic units. As a weapon with high-level combat power, Yan Armor should not be produced so much, or it is very rare. So it can't be used universally. Otherwise, the war here would not have been fought like this. So I want us to produce some weapons to increase our funds, and then purchase raw materials to produce new types of weapons and equipment. ”
Hearing Baizhan's idea, Vivien also agreed very much: "That's a good idea! In that case, I can also become a local tyrant! It's just that I want this place to be a station...... I'll have to think about my rhetoric. Vivien walked all the way, thinking about what to say.
Rothel commanded the armor to park all the armor and arrange for men to guard it. In the end, he also instructed the commander of the scout to arrange a sentry nearby. After everything was arranged, Rosil looked at the rows and rows of armor like a rich man, and he was stupid.
Baizhan and Vivien walked all the way to the site where the armor was parked. Vivien was still figuring out how to phrase it. And Hundred Battles has called up the map of the barracks, and if it is reorganized a little, it will definitely be able to live here. And the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one bothered. It's very convenient for him to study something here. It's just that I need to go to school......
At this time, Vivien suddenly spoke: "Rothel, choose two armor and bring them with us into the Imperial City. ”
"With two armours? What are you going to do? ”
"Buy a fief!" Vivien said seriously.
"Buy fiefdom? Where are you going to buy it? ”
"This is it!" Vivien pointed to her feet.
After Vivien finished speaking, Rothel almost turned his back on his breath, and coughed several times before asking, "Lord Vivian, you don't have a fever, do you?" What's wrong? I asked you for a remote fiefdom, but didn't you say it was here? It's such a broken place where birds don't, and you have to exchange two fourth-generation armor for it. Are you burned? Or is it crazy? ”
Bai Zhan explained on the side: "It's my opinion. I would like to build a factory and a new production workshop here. It's quiet, and it's close to giants, so you can test the power of your weapons at any time. Plus, you won't be bothered by others. I think it's worth it to trade two armors. ”
"Is this place so valuable? Worth two fourth-generation armor? Rothel still felt very painful.
Bai Zhan nodded and said, "It will make a lot of money, and it will be able to keep it secret." ”
"The problem is that this broken place, in the final analysis, is only the demarcation of the Cullinan Empire's borders, not the real territorial scope. Her Majesty will certainly be willing, and the ministers will be happy. Give us a place where they don't lose their profit, and they want to! Rothel was calculating.
Bai Zhan replied calmly: "If that's the case, then it's even better." This way, we can expand our territory as we like without anyone getting in the way. I also plan to build more factories, and the bigger the places that are needed, the better. ”
Rosil pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, you got the armor, let's do what you say!" Speaking of which, I'm enough of being an adjutant, and if I get a fief, Lord Vivien, you can make me a security captain or something, and let me be a leader to have a good time, right? ”
Vivien smiled, "Okay, I promise you. If this fief is bought, you will make me the head of the first village. If it grows, you will be the mayor. How? ”
Rothel gave a thumbs up and said, "Exquisite! That's it! I can't imagine that our Lao Luo will also become an official one day, hehe. Let's go! Buy a fief and go! ”
Rothel agreed because he believed in the vision of a hundred battles. In addition, he also felt that Bai Zhan should not join the Cullinan Empire, although Rosil was a native of the Cullinan Empire. But what the nobles of the Celestial Cullinan Empire were like, he knew very well in his heart. In addition, there is the matter of the prince, and Rosil is also very unacceptable. His original intention was for Vivien to ask for a remote place, so that the people of Vivian's family and the princes would not disturb Vivien all the time. But if you want to demarcate a place within the border as a fief, it is a subject country. And this area is far enough away and open enough. He believes that with the ability of a hundred battles, he can definitely develop the potential in it!
And Rothel is old, he can't always go to the battlefield. Someday it's going to be retired. Once you retire, you have to think about your family's livelihood.
As for Xiang Bo, as soon as he heard that it was a hundred battles' decision, he immediately expressed his support. He also said that he would use his own money to make the first sponsorship for the renovation of the barracks. Xiang Bo was saved by Vivian, and it stands to reason that he is a member of the Cullinan Empire. But he is also a great nobleman of the Silver Empire, and it is really embarrassing to join the Cullinan Empire. But if Vivien asked for a fief, the nature would be different. Although the family will not understand it at first, once it happens, the family will definitely support it.
Xiang Bo is the third son in the family, and there are two eldest brothers above, both of whom are capable people. Therefore, Xiang Bo is not valued in the family. And now there is an opportunity to give full play to his abilities, and he can also do what the rest of the Xiang family can't do, that Xiang Bo must fight hard. Especially being able to have a new armor, this alone is enough reason for Xiang Bo to support it.
As for those armorers in the Eastern Continent, they have been reluctant to come down since they put on the new armor, and they have to stay for everything.
As soon as the repair team heard that they were going to buy fiefdoms and build workshops and factories, they raised their hands and feet and said that they would do it even if they abandoned their homes and businesses. And if the fief is bought, immediately take over the family as the first wave of residents.
The soldiers didn't think much about it, it was the same everywhere. It's a good place to be alive. And everyone was very happy to be able to ask for their opinions.
So, after soliciting a circle of opinions, Vivien happily decided: enter the capital and buy a fief!
