Chapter 214: Carding (Final)
Genius remembers "Love ♂ ÷ Little" in a second to →provide you with wonderful novel reading.
Although this metal ingot may seem expensive, it is actually the most profitable business in Brandon this time - wear-resistant steel can be made into all kinds of processing tools, any drill, milling machine and so on...... Although Luo Ming is not an industrialist who blows water on the Internet when he has nothing to do, he has lived on Earth for twenty years and knows some basic things.
According to some of the sayings, what kind of traverser is a traverser if he doesn't engage in industry?
Even if you don't do it yourself, just by instructing those craftsmen, you can greatly improve the process.
In addition to these purchases, it also cost Luo Ming some money to solicit people.
Of course, some followers heard about Luo Ming's deeds and came to follow him with their own dry food, hoping that Luo Ming could further develop and then reward him with the status of a retainer.
But one of them was in debt, and after Luo Ming helped him pay off his debt, and then signed another deed of sale with him.
Others were recruited by Luo Ming for special money - there was even a big shelf to see Luo Ming's territory to see if what he said about building the territory was true and the deeds of killing demons before, and only after that he was willing to sign a contract.
The lord will carefully choose his courtiers, and the capable courtiers will also carefully choose the lord worthy of follow.
I don't know if that guy is really capable or a liar......
If there is real talent to learn, Luo Ming doesn't mind learning Liu Da'er who is looking at the thatched cottage three times, but if it is a liar, Luo Ming's sword is not used to cut stakes, but a murder weapon full of blood.
Killing a liar is just a matter of losing money - of course, this liar must also have relatives and friends to act as sufferers to sue the official, otherwise the so-called is completely the people do not raise the official and do not hold the official accountable, and no one cares no matter how miserable the death is.
Not to mention the feudal system, even if the ancient absolute monarchy of the Celestial Empire was actually the same, if no one reported to the official, it would not be a big deal to kill a person in the countryside, or even sink the adulterer ** into the river together, and usher in hundreds of onlookers.
If officials pursue this matter, it is most likely to blackmail the killer into spending money to eliminate the disaster, not to uphold the so-called justice.
Luo Ming also wrote down the names, personalities, specialties, and appearances of his followers on the tablet in front of him, and turned through dozens of pages, recording these disciples who followed him to Miana.
Several of them were children of the nobility, and when they went to Miana, they brought their own dry food, and not only had to pay for their own tuition (although Luo Ming did not collect much), but also had to pay for their own room and board.
On the other hand, they are Luo Ming's guests, if you want to ask them for help, it is better to say that they are busy for the sake of the master-apprentice relationship, and they have to settle accounts for the big busy, and Luo Ming will pay for them.
Some of the remaining commoner children could afford tuition and room and board, and some were more difficult, but Luo Ming was very "generous" to sign a contract with these disciples, including education and food and lodging, in exchange for them to serve themselves for free for seven years.
As for seven years later, his territory will definitely be prosperous, and the expansion of his territory should be done, and at that time, a few people are willing to leave, and a few people want to stay, which is not to be considered at all.
After counting these one by one, Luo Ming began to think about the food in his territory again - it was a little difficult to think about the food problem in his territory with so many people pouring into the territory, and raising the anchovy chickens that ate a lot.
Hurry up and reclaim more land, and plant some autumn and winter crops, and borrow or buy the surplus food directly from the other nobles of Miana......
It has to be said that becoming a lord is not so wonderful, and if you don't want to sit back and eat, you have to do your best to develop - the so-called "I have dedicated my life to this land" is sometimes not false propaganda, but a real example.
Perhaps one day, reliable and competent courtiers will help with every specific matter, and he, as a sovereign, will only have to review their work and determine the general direction.
It took Luo Ming a whole day to sort out many things.
After that, it didn't take long for the two cargo ships to dock at the pier in the port of Puran.
The port of Puran is an excellent river port and a thriving commercial port has made it the second largest city in Van Shee County after the county itself.
The Barony of Miyana is only half a day's journey from here—even considering the slow speed of the ox carts, it doesn't take a whole day.
Unfortunately, Miana's proximity to the frontier – beyond the border was a wilderness with few caravans, and Miyana's prowess, so it didn't profit from its proximity to the bustling port.
However, since I'm here, of course I want to change this situation!
Filled with ambition, Luo Min returned to Miana.
First, he went to the baron's castle, called the new butler, and showed him Charlotte's handwritten letter of authorization.
The new butler immediately became deferential, and even his attitude bordered on flattery.
"Rest assured, Lord Regent, this appointment will be passed on one by one, so that the people of Miana will know who is now their master. ”
This is almost like showing loyalty, Luo Ming is a little embarrassed - he didn't plan to be the Duke of Cao, now he is really just taking care of the barony, at most taking a little advantage of the princess, and when Charlotte comes back, he will still honestly return the power to others.
Although Hendrik had encouraged him to take over the entire territory of Miana, Lockin was reluctant to bully a little girl who took him as his big brother.
As for whether Charlotte will gradually become dissatisfied with Lom's dominance and treat him as a powerful minister...... Luo Ming thinks that most of them will not, and even if he really becomes a powerful minister who holds the lord hostage, does Charlotte have the power to resist?
Even if she is really dissatisfied with Luo Ming, what can she do? Within three years, he will go on the road of opening up to the outside world, one is out of sight and out of mind, and the second is that the strength in his hands will swell at that time, but Charlotte will make himself slap himself.
Of course, Lormine didn't want to see one of Charlotte's rare friends become so philistine.
"Do a good job, and I'll praise you in front of His Highness the Baron. Luo Ming responded to the enthusiasm of the new butler.
This sentence reflects his will - he is not here to usurp power, the real master of this territory is still Charlotte, and the rewards and punishments for the steward are still done by Charlotte herself.
Let's hope the butler will restrain his unnecessary thoughts, or Lormine will tell Charlotte whether she will choose to expel or execute the man.
