Chapter 33: Buying Cattle

Facing the cold wind that was still cold in early spring, Lu Sien and his party set out on the journey again after saying goodbye to Little Harpy at the gate of Rouse Town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe direction of this advance is the Roman territory to the east.

The Rominian Territory is one of the three direct territories of the Marquis of Stag, about a day and a half away from the town of Rolls, and mainly operates pastures, and if Russon goes there directly, he should be able to buy a sufficient number of cattle at once without having to go to other villages.

Then he went out of the city in the morning, only to see this village that was much richer than Moon when the sun was about to set, and Lu Sien, who was galloping all the way on a flat snowy field. At least from afar, the construction of most of the wooden houses in the village and the smoke from the roofs indicate that the people here are doing well, at least not worrying about food and heating.

"The village of Rominia looks unremarkable, the fields and orchards are busy, the villagers are busy with their work according to the season, both men and cattle seem to be healthy and strong, but some of the fields are still abandoned, and some of the walls seem to be in urgent need of repair, and it seems that the village is not very well manned.

This village and the surrounding land belonged to the Marquis of Decar.

The inhabitants of this village believe in Benier, the god of the stag,

The locals look at you with blank faces (0). ”

This is what the Code of Order shows, which roughly sketches some vague outlines in Lu Sien's mind, but in fact, there are no fields and orchards in this land at all, and if you don't count the wooden fences that can only intercept cattle and sheep, this village actually has no walls at all.

Moreover, it is the season of early spring, and I don't know what the villagers are busy with now.

At the entrance of the village, the patrolling village guards came to inquire, and after Lu Sien expressed his intentions, they led Lu Sien to the residence of the village elder who managed the territory for the marquis.

Perhaps because of the fact that they rely on the mountains and the water, the villagers of Romenia, who mainly rely on raising poultry and livestock for production, are usually able to consume enough protein and fat, so it seems that the complexion is more ruddy than the residents seen in Moon or in the lower part of the town of Law, and the physique is quite strong, and the visual strength is about 8 or 9 points. Relying on their daily labor and training and development, when an adult is at the peak of his physical condition, as long as he has not undergone professional training, 10 points of strength is their ultimate.

However, it is still typical of the small village model of the dark period of Europe, there is no sanitation system, there is still garbage and feces everywhere on the streets, and although the weather is still cold, Lu Sien can still smell the smell of the villagers around him who have not bathed for a long time and the smell of dealing with animals.

Although this was very ungraceful, Lu Sien rode away from the militia escorting or watching them with a cold expression on his horse (the villagers only dared to stand and salute at a distance, and would not approach). Whatever they think, I don't care.

"Good day, young knight. "The village elder, who received the report of the militia who had left early, was so hurried that he stopped Lu Sien halfway through.

There is no way, the number of cattle in the cattle farm is a bit too much, and the stored feed is not enough to support them until the end of spring and the beginning of summer, if they cannot be sold in the early spring, the only way is to slaughter them on a large scale, and the products after slaughter, without perfect preservation measures, part of them, well, a considerable part of them will become worthless because of corruption, and the rest will become extremely cheap because of a short period of mass shipments. Such prices will recover at the beginning of summer, then fall slightly in the fall, reach the top of the year in the winter, and so on.

When the family of the Marquis of the Stag first came to this land, everyone at that time did not call the lord of their family the Marquis, but the earl, and in less than two hundred years, in addition to expanding the territory to the standard of a marquis, the degree of development of it was far from being reached, so the territory could not digest the products produced by the complete joke pasture.

It's embarrassing.

So when the clerk came with the news that a young knight came to ask if the shipment of the village could meet the fifty healthy cattle, and when he got a definite answer and continued to ask for the number of eighty, the village elder who was in charge of managing the village for the Hou Ye did not hesitate to refuse the temptation of the fire pond, and penetrated into the cold wind of this early spring, obediently, you must know that the pasture is only about 200 cows in total.

"Good day, well, just stand there, Your Excellency, well, I'm not used to getting too close to strangers I meet for the first time. "A slut is hypocrisy, but it is undeniable that the smell of the village elders who roasted themselves warm around the fire is much stronger. "I heard you have big animals for sale here?"

"Uh, yes, yes, Your Excellency. Although he didn't know the reason, the village elder just kept a reasonable (not very smelly) distance from Lu Sien unconsciously, and just regarded Lu Sien as a knight with quirks. "I don't know how much you need?" thought to himself, hearing that you need a lot, the village elder spoke.

"Yes, I'll take at least fifty healthy oxen that can work, and I'll take more of them, at a price that is satisfactory to both of us. Lu Sien slowly drew circles in mid-air with his horsewhip, "Don't worry, we have enough money." With Lu Sien's words, Ellie picked up the small box on the pack horse behind her, revealing the round and yellow cutie inside, about 1,900 pieces, Lu Sien went out with 2,200 pieces, and spent some in the town of Law.

"Oh, yes, sir!" the village elder swallowed with a grunt, and was so shocked that he even changed his name. "I promise, you'll get what you want. ”

"Very well, take me to see your cows. ”

"Please follow me, this ...... Uh, don't know your name yet. ”

"Russon, Rusin Kabas, you can call me Sir Lusen. ”

The group simply visited several cowsheds, and Lu Sien was not in the mood to go any further, and he didn't understand the specifics, but after he saw that the adult cattle here were almost the same size, and the cowsheds were relatively clean, he didn't have any desire to continue to explore, and he didn't know what kind of cow to choose, as long as he knew that there was no particularly thin and looked like he was sick.

"Say, how much can you sell to me?" The uncomfortable smell made Lu Sien not want to stay for a moment, and the multi-day journey also made him miss the thriving village under his leadership.

"This ...... Hmm......" The village elder carefully calculated, counting the feed stored in the village, "Well, sir, you can take 80 cows from the manor at a price of 60 dinars each, and if you exceed this number, you will have to take away at a price of 90 dinars per cow, which is a very reasonable price." He calculated a profit of 15 dinars for each cow.

Well, almost, it's still within Lu Sien's acceptance range, and the number of eighty cows is almost enough, after all, there are not enough people in the village for eighty households, but the bargaining must still be discussed, and I brought enough 8,000 dinars on this trip, and the cost of buying these cattle is only 4,800 dinars, and if I bring back all the remaining 3,000, I'm really sorry for my meals and sleeping in the open these days.

"Well, are there sheep here besides these cows?" replied Lusen.

......

In the end, Lusin sold 100 sheep for 20 dinars each, and hired 20 able-bodied men, who were required to drive the cattle and sheep to Yaxing at a rate of one dinar per day, during which time Lusin was not responsible for their food and lodging, and the village had to give them enough fodder for 20 days.

The above prices cover the transaction tax on these goods as well as the toll tax.

So far, Lu Sien's trip this time has basically been completed.
