He stood up and walked out. Now that you know what Talloran is coming for, there's no need to stay any longer.

"Wait. Baron Talloran blocked the doorway with an incommensurate speed, his chubby round face full of smiles. "Viscount Thunder, if you are not satisfied, you can still ...... Markup, one-fifth of the market price? No? That one-third... The market price is always okay!"

His bucket was blocked in the doorway, and he refused to leave no matter what. Seeing that Lei Ming was still indifferent, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said painfully: "The market price is doubled, if you don't agree, I won't leave here." ”

Lei Ming turned back and sat down in his chair, his index finger tapping rhythmically on the table. When Tarolan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and was about to faint, he said slowly: "Ten times the market price, and it only sells 100,000 catties of grain." ”

He waved his hand to stop Tarolan from arguing. "Think about it, if you want to stay here, Viscount Ben is very welcome, but the price of food, clothing and accommodation is a bit expensive. ”

Tarolan turned into a bitter gourd face, thinking about it in his heart. 100,000 catties of grain, if the people only eat one meal a day, it can just last until the autumn harvest. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as there was a stutter, those untouchables would not dare to make trouble, so that they could save a lot of money on equipment and conscription.

"Viscount Thunder, I promise you. Tarolan looked up and gritted his teeth in agreement. Compared with the possible cost, buying food gold coins is only a drop in the bucket. Even though he didn't want to spend even a little bit of gold.

Lei Ming shook the doorbell, and a few minutes later, Lisa walked in, and he ordered: "Allocate 100,000 catties of grain to Baron Talloran, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other." The carriage could be borrowed on a temporary basis, and the baron would bear the cost of transportation. ”

Lisa nodded knowingly and led the way.

Baron Talloran opened his mouth, sighed, and followed with a sad face.

Lei Ming retracted his gaze and shook his head helplessly, asking for money from this guy was more uncomfortable than killing him. I really don't know how this kind of stingy personality can be so fat! Is it obesity?

He got up and went to the study, and worked on the papers. She returned to the bedroom, and let the maid take off her clothes, change into a new dressing gown, and lay down on the soft and gorgeous bed.

When I woke up, it was already dawn. Lei Ming finished freshening up and went out refreshed. After a brief bite to eat in the dining room, head to the study.

"Your Excellency, President Chase has arrived. Lisa approached her and saluted.

Lei Ming nodded and smiled gently. After the relationship progressed, he persuaded Lisa several times not to be polite. But she still strictly followed the rules of the housekeeper, and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and only occasionally obeyed when there were two people. After repeating it a few times, he didn't say more.

In the study, Chase walked back and forth restlessly, and when he saw Thunder come in, he hurriedly saluted. "Your Excellency. ”

"Don't be nervous, sit down!" Lei Ming pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Thanks to you for the food problem in the territory this time, even Viscount Ben has taken a lot of advantage. What do you wish? Viscount Ben can grant you a request that is not too excessive. ”

"It is the duty of a family merchant to serve the lord. Chase hurriedly waved his hand, and waited for Lei Ming to sit down, then carefully sat in his place, and admired: "What's more, my wish is to open up maritime trade, and my lord not only did it, but also did it very well, and even built a port." ”

Lei Ming smiled dumbly, worthy of being the head of the family businessman, whether these words were sincere praise or fake flattery, at least they sounded very comfortable.

"My lord, what I said is true. Chase was a little anxious.

"I believe it. Lei Ming waved his hand, sat upright, and asked, "Presumably, the reason why Viscount Ben came to you is how much he knows in his heart, where did he get the food?"

He thought about it countless times, but he never found the right answer. It is as if so much food was conjured out of nowhere, and it can be attributed to miracles.

"My lord, when I encountered a storm at sea, I was separated from the fleet, and when I woke up, I appeared near an island with a boat. I can swear it was never registered. After some exploration, it was found that the island was very large, and many places were full of food. Chase scratched his hair and wondered, "But in a strange place, the whole island seems to be empty." ”

Lei Ming listened carefully, as if he was thinking about something, and after listening to it, he frowned and said, "Where is that place?" Take me to see it. ”

"Yes, sir. When he heard these words, his heart moved, and he immediately understood the meaning of the thunder. An unregistered territory is nothing more than a piece of fat, and the only thing you need to worry about is whether the king will sign the possession of the territory.

The group walked out of the mansion, got into the carriage that had been prepared, and galloped towards Port Vale, surrounded by ten guardian knights. After more than two hours of galloping, the carriage stopped at the harbor at noon.

"Your Excellency. Seeing Thunder get out of the carriage, Sayles hurried over. Maybe he had seen Thunder's powerful combat power with his own eyes, even after being promoted to Sky Knight, he would still instinctively feel fear.

Lei Ming's eyes were like lightning, as if he had insight into his thoughts, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he patted him on the shoulder. "Sayles, is the ship ready?"

"Your Excellency, you're ready. Sayles hesitated for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "It's just that after such a long time of sailing, coupled with frequent battles, many navies have been a little unable to hold on. If you continue to sail long distances, I am afraid that few people will be able to support it. ”

Lei Ming glanced around, his eyes were everywhere to greet the navy, and most of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at them. Only a handful of them took the initiative to meet his gaze, their eyes fanatical. He withdrew his gaze and waved his hand absently. "Pick a small number of navies, this time a large warship will be enough. ”

"My lord, I didn't make it clear before, but that island is not far from the Grant Territory, and it can be reached in three days if the wind is downwind. Chase stepped forward and took the initiative to explain.

"Three days?" the thunder sounded at first glance, and I couldn't believe my ears. At such a close distance, if an island had been discovered earlier, how could he have waited until now? If he hadn't sensed the sincerity in Chase words, he would have thought he was lying to himself.

"President Chase is not misremembering? Not three days, actually, but thirty days. Sayles came back to his senses and reminded him.

"Get on board!" Thunder interrupted the conversation with a wave of his hand, and strode onto the warship.

The sails were hoisted, and the Grant Collar flag hung on the mast and fluttered in the wind. The large warship pulled anchor and set sail, riding the wind and waves, heading towards the depths of the sea. Chase stood on the deck, pointing out the reference bearing from time to time and adjusting the course.
