Field gave Chen Xiao a salute, looked at Chen Xiao with a strange face, and said, "Lord Yushi." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe land of Black Rock Village, owned by the Lord of Mormont. I can't call the shots. ”

From Field's mouth, it was learned that Black Rock Village belonged to a part of the territory of Lord Mormont, and unlike Rodri Village, Rodri Village was a lordless territory, because it was a small village in itself, but due to its geographical location, coupled with the existence of the Mage Tower, it gradually developed into a village comparable to the size of a small town.

Previously, Baron Orka was exiled to the village of Rodri, which was equivalent to Orca's territory, so taxes, fees for entering and leaving the village, and monthly fees were all controlled by Orca.

At that time, Chen Xiao bought the land and houses in the village, and through the operation of the village chief Aberdeen, he was officially recognized by the empire, which was actually reported to Orka, who wrote the title deed. Chen Xiao didn't know the doorway at the time, and he was sold by Aberdeen and made a profit.

Now he is the Imperial History of Rodri Village and the secretary of the village party committee. The land in the village was all under his allocation, but in terms of land ownership, except for the land he bought, the rest of the land belonged to Baron Orka.

The annual tax was finally paid to Orka, and then to the Empire. After this layer of deprivation, the village's tax is actually very high, as high as 50%.

In other words, the villagers harvested 1,000 catties of grain at the end of the year, and they had to hand over 500 catties of grain.

The tax collector will go to the countryside at the end of the year to collect taxes when the crops are harvested. The tax collector is the most annoying kind of person for the villagers who mainly farm.

After Chen Xiao understood the situation, he followed the village chief of Field to the "Black Stone Fort", the residence of the lords of several villages near Black Rock Village.

Black Stone Fort, which follows the use of black rocks as the outer wall, is mainly made of blue bricks, and is a castle built on the mountain, consisting of a main tower and two sub-towers, although it is not as large as the large castles in the town, but it has a sense of ancient grandeur that is independent of the world.

Chen Xiao touched the exterior wall of the Black Stone Castle, the black greasy substance stuck to his hand, and he couldn't wipe it off. His face was strange, and he couldn't help but complain: Does the owner of this castle want to die?

After Field reported the guards guarding the gate, a group of men and horses soon came out of the castle. Surrounded by a bunch of heavily armed soldiers, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume appeared in front of Chen Xiao with a not very good-looking face.

"I'm the lord of Blackstone Castle, Bolton Tarth, and according to Field, you want to buy my land?" the middle-aged man, Bolton, said in a bad tone.

He carefully observed the ten-man guards behind Chen Xiao, as well as the sub-races beside Chen Xiao. This is not a weak force, and he does not dare to take it lightly.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Chen Xiao." He is currently the Imperial Historian of Rodri Village. Lord Fort Bolton, I'm short on time, let's get down to business, I wonder if the land near Black Rock Village can be sold to me?"

Chen Xiao, the imperial historian of Rodri Village, is a celebrity who dominates the headlines of the two issues of "Mainland Experience", and Bolton can't even think about it.

After he learned Chen Xiao's identity, his face was full of surprise, and his originally guarded face suddenly showed a smile: "It turned out to be Chen Yushi." There is a long way to go. Blackstone Fort is full of sparkle. "He is just a small castle lord, a small lord, although his power position is higher than Chen Xiao, but his reputation and prestige are far inferior to Chen Xiao, so Bolton is very polite to Chen Xiao, this is a celebrity on the mainland.

Most people know Chen Xiao's name, but they don't know his name as Bolton Tas.

Stretching out his hand and not smiling at people's faces, Chen Xiao naturally would not refuse the invitation of the Lord of Blackstone Castle. He ordered the ten guards to stand by outside the fort, and led Leon to follow Bolton into the Blackstone Castle.

"Chen Yushi, I don't know if my Black Rock Village has anything that can enter your eyes. There was no grass in the place, only those black rocks and mud. As he walked, Bolton spoke of the character of their territory, which was rich in amber and rosin oil in addition to black rocks, and surrounded by dense pine forests, which were the highland pastures of which they were proud of Blackstone Fort.

There are many wild beasts and beasts for them to hunt, and when the pine trees bloom and bear fruit, the smell of rosin fills everywhere, which is very charming and magnificent.

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "I asked the Lord of Fort Bolton if he could sell me the land near Black Rock Village." ”

Bolton frowned slightly, took Chen Xiao into the lobby of the castle, and ordered someone to take out the map and spread it out on the table. He smiled faintly and said, "It depends on Chen Yushi, whether he can afford the price." "For him, it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, like chicken ribs.

If he can sell it for a satisfactory price, Bolton doesn't mind selling Black Rock Village either. Chen Xiao drew a circle on the map with his finger, including all the areas within a five-kilometer radius of Heiyan Village.

Bolton glanced at Chen Xiao, who had a calm face, and frowned slightly. Heiyan Village is located in the center of his territory, and if Chen Xiao buys a territory, his territory will be incoherent and separated from the middle, which is very inconvenient for him to manage his territory.

"I bought these lands for three gold coins per acre. I wonder if the castle lord will accept my proposal. Chen Xiao said with a smile, "This price can be said to be very high for this Black Rock Village where birds don't." ”

The area he circled on the map actually reached 20 square kilometers, which is equivalent to an area of 2,000 hectares, or 30,000 acres when converted into acres.

If there are three gold coins per mu, it is worth 90,000 gold coins.

This is a very large number, and its value is already very high, even dozens of times more than the money that Bolton spent on buying these territories at that time.

Hearing Chen Xiao's offer, Burton's face was full of incredulity. He was not very good at arithmetic, and immediately called his tax collector to calculate the value.

After a while, the tax collector said profusely, "My lord, about ninety thousand gold coins." ”

Bolton was suddenly messy. He didn't have that much gold in his life savings.

I'm not a fucking dream, am I? Like the place where birds don't shit in Black Rock Village, it's worth 90,000 gold coins!?

After Burton's consternation, he was full of suspicion.

He looked at Chen Xiao who was smiling, and walked by with many thoughts in his heart.

Chen Xiao was able to spend so much money to buy this piece of land where birds don't, which means that the value of this land is very high, even higher than the 90,000 gold coins.

Like Chen Xiao, the little imperial history of Rodri Village, he actually spent 90,000 gold coins to buy a piece of land that looked useless, without even blinking an eye......

Burton pondered and was terrified.

The urge to say yes immediately subsided.

This is his territory, and if he can dig out the secrets of this land, the biggest winner is himself.

As for Chen Xiao's little imperial history, let him die.

If you don't accept it, you will hit him!

He is a lord, and there are more than 300 soldiers in the collar, and he can destroy the small village of Rodri Village in minutes, and it is also a matter of minutes to destroy Chen Xiao.

"This is my territory, and I don't plan to sell it, Mr. Chen. Burton said with a smile.

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the Lord of Fort Bolton with a little meaning, and said, "Are you not satisfied with the price? The price is negotiable." ”

He is now rich and spends more than 100,000 yuan to buy a coal mine, and he feels that he is not at a loss. If the coal mine is developed, the gold coins obtained will be countless, and more than 100,000 gold coins can be earned back at any time.

Burton's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and his heart was ecstatic, he had already determined the value of the land in Black Rock Village.

"No, Mr. Chen. No matter how much it is, I won't sell it. Bolton smiled with a slight regret, "Mr. Chen can choose the Amber Village next to it and the Pine Forest Village above." Both of these places, with their own specialties, are good villages. ”

Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel regretful.
