Chapter 180: The Wolf's Head Industry (Part II)

The "real" orc warriors, with their nomadic husbandry and rudimentary farming skills, often robbed humans of food, had relatively good diets, and were on average physically fit a little better than the average adult male.

They are also able to craft their own leather armor and a small amount of iron armor, using a variety of weapons ranging from maces to tomahawks and hammers.

Ordinary militia will definitely be torn apart by orc warriors in one-on-one fights, and a knight with a high-level swordsman, wearing plate armor and riding a war horse can generally only deal with five or six orc warriors, and any more may be injured or even killed.

Even the swordsman is surrounded by dozens of orc warriors, and if he doesn't find an opportunity to escape quickly, he may lose his life.

Of course, the orc warriors are already strong, but now they have not conquered vast areas and become a nightmare for entire continents, because of their limited population.

Although dozens of orc warriors can even be defeated by swordsmen, a small orc tribe can only afford to support dozens of such warriors in total, and most of the rest of the orcs are poor worms who can only eat half full, are skinny, and do not even have cloth armor, so they can only carry wooden sticks into battle.

Those who can come up with thousands of orc warriors are considered to be the largest tribes in the world.

This makes the killing of orc warriors a beautiful talk in human society. In the heart of the safest country, taking out the head of an orc warrior can deceive some praise.

When it comes to those borders that suffer from orcs, the "big heroes" who can kill orc warriors are often admired by nobles, worshiped by the people, and can even attract girls to throw themselves into their arms.

In fact, there are huge business opportunities lurking in the middle.

There weren't many virgins in this era, and even a model of integrity and kindness like Granty wouldn't be merciful to these aliens who were completely different from humans.

Therefore, the heads of these jackals are actually no different from those ivory carvings and tiger fur coats, and they can not only be displayed in their own homes to show off their martial arts, but also given as gifts to others, or directly put them out for sale.

As for whether others buy it home, whether it is simply used as an ornament or used to brag about it, it is none of Luo Ming's business, as long as it can make money.

This also greatly broadened Luo Ming's thinking: within the principality, it was easy for him to expand his strength too much, so he needed to train an elite army and then colonize the outside world, and lay a bigger foundation outside.

As for the alien heads killed in the process, they can basically be used as goods - the colonists on the earth often bought the head crafts of the headhunters and brought them back to Europe to sell, and the industry was so popular at that time that the headhunters killed all the hostile tribes they could see, and then attacked orangutans and monkeys.

Looking at these loot piled up like a hill, Luo Ming didn't have to worry about not being able to take it away.

Because when the jackals robbed, they often came back with truckloads of goods, and now these cars are in the valley - for the jackals, it is estimated that these cars are treasures that they themselves cannot replicate at all.

In addition, the goods of the two caravans that Luo Ming killed were also "found" by him...... When the time comes, send them back to the city, ask the owner for a fortune fee, and even find a place to sell it.

It can be said that this time it was a bumper harvest.

Although Luo Ming knocked out those big families in Bajina City, after they knew that the money would not come back, they pinched their noses and admitted it, and some people even began to deceive themselves, thinking that the money was actually very cost-effective.

That's right, it's self-deception, after all, instead of being indignant every day for spending unjust money, it's better to look at the point, feel that the money is worth it, and then you can laugh - humans are such realistic animals, most people will quickly become obedient when they can't resist and don't suffer unbearable losses.

Especially when Luo Ming came back with a cart of jackals' heads, it was even more applauded by ordinary citizens, and those big families who were knocked out of bamboo were also shocked, and they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

"We went out this time only to encircle the gnolls, but when we saw the looted goods, we didn't leave them there or smuggle them away and sell them, but worked hard to bring them back. ”

In the middle of the city hall, Luo Ming spoke eloquently to a group of citizen representatives: "Although I am happy to return these goods to their rightful owners, there is one premise, that is, to make my brothers feel that this hard work is worth it.

Even the handyman who carries the goods deserves his wages, and we should be paid accordingly for dragging those goods back from distant places. ”

Although those big families looked ugly, they still agreed to Luo Ming's last request - anyway, they could send this disaster star away, and they could also get the goods that had been lost, and it would be nothing to pay some money.

Of course, a small part of the goods with higher value, Luo Ming is considered to have swallowed it privately, and when he is far away from here, he will sell it - but these guys will definitely not be able to find out for a while, and even if they do, they will not turn their faces with Luo Ming for this bit of goods.

Sitting on the boat on the way back, the rest of the people were drinking and laughing, squandering the honorarium, while Luo Ming was in the cabin, illuminated by a small cangyan, writing on parchment what he had done this time, of course, with a little spring and autumn brushwork.

And at the end, with a smile on his face, and then a solemn face, he raised his quill pen and wrote in a dignified font:

"Of the proceeds from this extortion, I will hand over two hundred gold coins to supplement the part of the tax that has been paid less in the city of Bajina this year, and it can be regarded as wool from the sheep. And the gnolls are extinct, and they can no longer be used as an excuse to delay the payment of taxes.

If those unscrupulous merchants are still thinking of finding other excuses to default or underpay their taxes next time, then please feel free to warn them in my name. This time my means are not very bright, but they are needed to deter thieves. ”

If it is a dynasty with a high degree of centralization, and Luo Ming is just an official, I am afraid that if he does this, although it is a miracle, it is also a catastrophe, and it is likely to be unloaded and killed by the emperor Lao'er, and then thrown out to dissipate the anger of those guys whose interests have been violated.

But in today's principalities, the situation is completely different.

Luo Ming believed that the princess would definitely applaud him, and even more so for him.

In ancient times, the emperor ruled the world with scholars, and the principality was ruled by the royal family and many loyal nobles.
