On the top of a hill in the interior of Koya Island, Baron Edley was introducing with a look of merit: "Sir Aned, starting from the river below and ending at the mountains over there, this large piece of land is your territory, and in order to unite the four knights together, I have spent a lot of effort to beg people everywhere!"

Chen Haoran looked at the vast and vast land in front of him, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "It's so huge, how much area is here?"

Baron Edley glanced at it and said with some disapproval: "It's not big, that is, 10 to 20 square kilometers, there are only about 3,000 lords on this land, and there are only three manors, so in order to compensate you, the mountains over there are also counted in your territory." ”

However, speaking of which, he suggested very kindly: "Sir Aned, your territory has met the requirements of the baron, but the number of people and taxes is not up to standard. If you can expand your vassal to 10,000 people and build a town with a monthly tax of 100 gold, you will automatically be promoted to baron. When the time comes, your voice on this Koya Island will be completely different!"

"Where can we gather the population, the population of the island is fixed now. Chen Haoran said with emotion.

"You don't lack money to buy slaves, do you?" said Edley, whose eyes twinkled inexplicably.

"Baron Aedley, do you have a way?" asked Chen Haoran.

"Hehe, of course, the price is not expensive, if you are only young and strong, 5 silver coins apiece, if you don't pick it, 2 silver coins apiece. Promise not to be as unreliable as the slave ship you met in the port of Koya, phew, 100 slave soldiers dare to sell for 5,000 gold coins, this is a disruption to the market!" said Edley with an indignant expression.

"Uh, no, your slaves are also from Bavaria, right?, another trophy under the command of the god of war?" Chen Haoran asked in amazement.

"Hehe, don't ask about the source, anyway, there are goods that will be delivered directly to the nearest dock to your territory, regardless of men and women, young and old, 2 silver coins per person. How's that, do you want to?" said Aedley, laughing.

"Naturally, I want to bring me 10,000 slaves, and then give me a batch of food enough for them to eat for a year, a wooden house enough to settle them in, enough tools for their labor, enough clothes for them to change, and other bits and pieces, anyway, to ensure that these 10,000 slaves can quickly settle down in my territory, and after a year can enter the level of self-sufficiency, how much do you say?" Chen Haoran said.

Adorli, who was originally dancing with his fingers dancing and calculating the price, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the last sentence: "Let them be self-sufficient? Are they your slaves? Don't you keep them?"

"In the beginning, I naturally raised them, but if they had no future, they would be lazy, so it was natural to give them the hope of becoming free people, so the means of production that could make them self-sufficient naturally had to be prepared in advance. Chen Haoran said with a smile.

Edley's eyes rolled, he understood, and grinned: "You are free, ah, I will roughly calculate, it will take at least 20,000 gold coins to complete your requirements." ”

"No problem, by the way, you have to help me set up a few artisan workshops, such as blacksmiths, archery and whatever. Chen Haoran said.

"Hehe, I know that you want to take revenge on those guys, no problem, just add five thousand gold coins, help you build a complete barony artisan workshop, and help you recruit the right craftsmen, of course, you can't ask how good these craftsmen are. Adelly laughed.

Speaking of this, Aideli suddenly rolled his eyes and asked: "Do you want to help you hire a team of mercenaries to come over?" The dozens of sailors you brought can't maintain your territory, especially after the 10,000 slaves are transported, the whole territory must be in chaos, how can it be governed without thousands of people?"

"Do you have a way to this?" Chen Haoran was curious.

"Hey, we indigenous nobles, we can't make money without relying on these messy things, we can't compare with those big businessmen. Edley sighed.

"I'll give you 30,000 gold coins, get everything you just said, and hire me a team of 1,000 people to take charge of the security of the territory temporarily. Chen Haoran nodded.

"No problem, so we're going to take over the territory now?" said Edley, smiling and waving his hand.

The group rushed to Chen Haoran's territory with such a rumbling horse, and when they came to the territory, under the introduction of the neighbor baron and the original lord, Chen Haoran, the new lord, took office.

On this land of about 20 square kilometers, there are only three small estates, and one manor cultivates thousands of acres of land, which is a general population of thousands of people, so it is natural for the three estates to divide up the population of 3,000.

But out of a population of 3,000, only 500 are young and strong, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

And apparently the original owner of this place did not have the money to hire the priest of the agricultural temple to help speed up the production of crops, and it was not a main road where people came and went, let alone a location, so the people here were all very stuck, there were not many clothes, and all the faces were yellow and thin.

Looking at this poor lord, Chen Haoran was a little stunned, no wonder Aideli divided the four knight collars so easily, and also helped himself exchange the four knight collars with this almost equivalent to the barony's territory.

Dare to love this place is big, but there is not much potential for development, the fertile knight lord naturally left it and took out this huge barony.

But Chen Haoran doesn't care, the place is big, as long as it is not a desert, it can always grow food, and it is close to a big river, and there are still continuous mountains behind it, as long as the population is reached, it can always develop.

Because of the money, Edley's subordinates naturally began to look for a new place to live in this vast area, planning the division of the town, the docks, and the various new estates. The adjutant and sailors brought by Chen Haoran naturally acted as assistants and followed the actions of Aideli's people. And Erha sweet vinegar and five rabbits have long been wandering around in this spacious land.

The two leaders, Aideli and Chen Haoran, of course, don't bother, just sit on the side and chat.

"Sir Aned, what the hell is going on with you and the Business Alliance, and why are they willing to go to such great lengths to attack you? Adeli only asked at this time.

"I don't know, they suddenly attacked me before I even started to stand in line, it's really inexplicable!" Chen Haoran shrugged and didn't say anything to guess.

"I think it's because you have a territory, so you naturally become on the side of the nobles?, that's why the business alliance is so eager to attack you?" said and shook his head: "It can't be because of this, after all, many members of the business alliance have territories, and according to this reason, they are also naturally on the side of the noble alliance, so what else is the business alliance fighting for." ”
