Chapter 112: A Smart Man
The Earl of Wastestone pays his third visit to Lynn in Twin Cities.
This time there was also a short brown man standing beside him.
The man is very young and energetic, at the age of twenty, the lines of his face are sharp like an axe, but his eyes are a little melancholy, he is the type that makes people impressed at first sight.
"Brother Lynn, this is Fod Ward of the Beauty Bazaar, who was previously sealed in Riverrun, and is generally young and promising. ”
When Earl Mulder saw Lynn, he greeted him very eagerly, and introduced the young man next to him.
Lynn took a closer look at the Frey Ward knight, and found a hint of pride in the man's eyebrows.
It is a kind of arrogance brought out in the bones, and it has nothing to do with family or strength.
Born arrogant?
Lynn was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly at de Wood.
He wasn't a nobleman yet, and Lynn didn't need to be too polite with him.
Then, turning to the Earl of Mulder, he began to greet him.
"Lord Earl, I heard that I vomited all night after I went back last time? This is because the wine is too urgent, so it is not good to hurt the body and bones, today let's change the trick, how about an open-air barbecue with red wine?"
Lynn smiled and talked about the last drunkenness, completely forgetting that the culprit of the previous persuasion of alcohol was himself.
Count Mulder waved his hand and smiled awkwardly, "I can't drink the wine, I brought this person to you, you have something to talk to Fod, I have to guard my one-acre and three-point land, the vicinity of Wastestone City has been unstable recently." ”
Lynn's expression moved, and he said, "What's the matter?
Mud's face showed a rare hint of unkindness, and he scolded angrily and said: "That's not true, it's just that there have been some damn bandits who want to plunder the wheat fields outside my city recently, and it's the summer harvest season, and the second half of the year depends on this batch of grain, I have to keep an eye on it." ”
"If there is anything you need help with, please send me a message, I will be moving back to the north in a few days, and I don't know when I will see you later. ”
Lynn was very scene, but unexpectedly made Muld excited, he stretched out his hand full of red hair and patted Lynn's arm, and said with a sincere face: "Brother Lynn, you have a heart, no matter what other people think of you, the Barren Stone City between the rivers will not forget the kindness and kindness of my brother." ”
Lynn was stunned by what Earl Mulder said, and said in his heart what he had done, how could he be kind and kind?
However, in an instant, Lynn understood what was going on.
Earl Mulder was probably referring to Lynn's harvest of grain from the Riverlands.
Recently, when he was harvesting grain at a price higher than the market price, he only bought a little bit of the great cities in the Riverland, except in Wastestone City.
Because the price is really attractive, the selling of surplus grain in the hands of civilians is very enthusiastic.
Lynn's move can be regarded as giving the Earl of Wastestone City a little thin face.
However, Lynn also knew that this was also because the purchase price was too high and there were not too many golden dragons around him, if the funds were sufficient, he would not let go of the food in the hands of the civilians of Wastestone City.
The two chattered a few words, and Count Mulder, seeing that it was not early, confessed to Lynn, and hurried away.
Although the two places of Barren Stone City and Twin River City are not far apart, the carriage round trip is only half a day's scene.
But Earl Mulder personally sent the Lady Bazaar to Lynn to see Lynn.
To a considerable extent, this reflects the importance he attaches to what he promised to Lynn.
This is a good earl with affection and righteousness, not to mention whether this person can become a qualified ally, but Lynn still receives the heart of others.
"Your name is Forde Wood?"
After Earl Mulder left, Lynn turned her eyes to the young man in front of her and asked.
The latter nodded indifferently when he heard this, and did not speak, but waited for Lynn's next words.
Lynn frowned slightly, not quite liking to talk to the silent ones, so she went straight to the point.
"I've heard that the Woods bazaar is so successful that even the current vendors in Riverrun choose to trade their goods in the beauty bazaar.
Presumably, as long as the grain is transported from the south, most of the food that comes to Twin River City will pass through the Beauty Bazaar, and as the manager of the largest trading place in the Riverlands, I have a deal I want to discuss with you. ”
Forde Wood looked at Lynn and smiled lightly, "My lord has won the award, what can you say clearly, since it is a sale, my Wood family has always welcomed it." ”
Lynn said, "I want you to buy all the grain that will be shipped from the south to Riverland in the second half of the year and next year, as long as it comes from the Beauty Bazaar." ”
Forde Wood's face did not change in the slightest, as if he had already guessed that Lynn had brought it up.
Is it really just a young man in his early twenties who can have such an old spicy and urban government?
Lynn was secretly frightened.
I couldn't help but look at the administrator of this beauty market a few times.
Verde Wood groaned, his slender fingers resting on his cuffs, rubbing them lightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, his eyes flickered, and he bowed his head slightly to Lynn and said, "My lord, this matter is not difficult, but can you tell me about the price of your lord?"
The merchant makes profits, this person masters the beauty bazaar, he is no longer a simple knight, and the spirit of chivalry has long been lost in his heart.
Lynn looked at this person, and suddenly remembered the hesitation and hesitation that Dani had revealed in her words when she talked about this person that day.
Heart, I'm afraid this person is not as simple as Earl Mudd of Wastestone City said.
Lynn was guilty of slander, but smiled quietly on her face.
He smiled lightly and offered a price that the other party would never refuse.
"I think you are a wise man, and I promise in the name of the Rothschilds that one day when I sit on the Riverlands, your family will become a true nobleman, and your market will not only be a market, but a part of the history of the city of Beauty. ”
Lynn's words were said very indifferently and casually, but they stirred up turbulent waves in Forde Wood's heart.
Lynn squinted at the knight's face, only to see that the calm and calm look on his face was long gone, replaced by a red tide caused by overexcitement.
This is to be expected.
Lynn analyzed from the information he had obtained before that the Vord family started by hiring swordsmen, and it took three generations and a hundred years for him to come out with such an oath knight, and he thought that after being sealed in Riverrun, the future would be bright from now on.
It was even possible to make the Vorts a quasi-aristocratic rank, but it backfired, and for some unknown reason, the Tully family expelled Verde Wood from Riverrun.
Frustrated, Forde Wood accepted the bazaar on which his family depended.
Although the Beauty Market is in full swing by him, it makes him quite popular in Riverland.
However, it is only eye-catching.
An expelled knight is just a merchant.
It is far from the status of nobility.
Smugglers like Davos Seaworth, who was given the ironic title of 'Onion Knight' by Stannis, have been faithfully assisting Stannis ever since, dedicating almost everything to the advancement of this status.
In medieval society.
Promotion to the aristocratic class, this ravine, which makes the low-level commoners exhaust the trench that generations cannot cross.
In the eyes of a person like De Wood, it is a hundred times more attractive than the golden dragon of Huang Cancan.
