Chapter 241 - Purchase of Military Funds

Fang Mo didn't expect that the Spirit Realm turned out to be a place where technology was abandoned, and everything had to be done by himself, inch by inch!

It's like in "Shenmu Xinghe", which is so hearty, directly controlling the asymmetric power of deep space, and a planet can do it, and here, everything depends on people, strength is important, and strategy is even more important.

In Fang Mo's view, the great Holy Empire was a mess, and of course, it could also be that they didn't need a peaceful situation.

From this point of view, there is not much difference between the Holy Empire and the Red Spirit Temple, the only obvious difference is that the power of the Red Spirit Temple comes from the evil spirit body.

Moreover, the dark star cluster where the Red Spirit Hall is entrenched itself is relatively close to the Spirit Realm, and the spatial interface is relatively weak, maybe they really have something to do with the Spirit Realm.

Moreover, the compulsory idol worship system of the Red Spirit Temple is similar to the spiritual realm, or it itself is some kind of imported product of the spiritual realm, but it has gone astray.

Fang Mo thought about it seriously, he had a lot of fate with these things that went astray all the way.

"Grand Knight of Chapra! If there is any tactical arrangement, just let us know directly. ”

Chapra only nodded slightly, and patted Fang Mo on the shoulder in encouragement.

Fang Mo saw that the matter of food and salary had landed, so he took the knights and escorted the gold coins to Yier Town, which is also a bad place in the spiritual realm, and all the gold coin goods were materialized, and it was very difficult to transport.

The town of Whittier is actually very close to the territory of Kailas, and it is also relatively close to the front line of the battle, and Eli is 150 kilometers north of the town of Whittier, which is also a seaside town.

Meltown is only their medium-term plan, and the tactical layout there is not under Dort's control, of course, the battle will go well in the later stage, and it is not ruled out that they will advance there.

As soon as Fang Mo led the team out of Whittier Town, he sent out three teams of elite knight scouts, and he had to be agile here, and this difficult task was none other than Jim.

Those knights who opened the palace in their womb are unreliable, after all, they have not experienced the tempering of blood and fire.

At this moment, in the camp on the side of the road, there is a knight who opened the palace in the womb, discussing history with a princess.

Fang Mo commanded the team to cross directly from the camp tent, and even if Fang Mo pressed the baggage, he tried to maintain a fast marching speed.

One hundred and fifty kilometers, two days of journey, no thrills and dangers along the way.

A powerful super-composed knighthood, no one dares to provoke casually, but when it comes to Il, it's different.

There was also a natural deep-water harbor, which Blackbeard often haunted, until the offshore waters were filled with deep-water obstacles by Dort's legions.

But Fang Mo can be sure that the 2 million gold coins placed in Iltown are definitely a huge temptation for Blackbeard.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Fang Mo received a black letterhead.

Fang Mo opened it and looked at it, revealing that it was really like this, BulΓ₯s and Princess Rayla were kidnapped, and asked Fang Mo to pay a ransom of 2 million to untie them, and signed Blackbeard after the letter.

Quill stood aside and asked quietly, "Lord Kuka, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

Fang Mo smiled: "Why should I be in a hurry? Bross hangs, and I'm the head of the Knights. ”

He knew very well that this clumsy kidnapping had nothing to do with Blackbeard, but was planned by Tokara, a slightly prestigious little lord in the melee zone, as for who revealed the news, it was self-evident, the ransom was exactly 2 million gold coins, Fang Mo never believed in coincidences, and there was almost no interval in between.

Actually, this was not the result Fang Mo wanted, he just wanted to know who was working with Blackbeard again, which was a crucial point.

Fang Mo put down the letterhead, stared at Jim and said, "There is no security problem with Bross, right?" ”

Jim said confidently, "Absolutely not!" ”

Quill was dumbfounded, "You already knew? ”

Although Tokara is a small lord, his jurisdiction is also about 200 kilometers in radius, and the reason why he has a relatively high reputation in the region is because his territory is rich in cheap food.

Fertile land like Tokara is very scarce in the coastal area, of course, he can stand firm here, mainly because the family is prosperous, and the internal unity, and there is the largest knight order in the region, more than 600 people, which is stronger than the knight brought by Fang Mo.

Moreover, a windfall was made from the war, and many support legions had to trade with them to buy beans, wheat, sorghum, corn, oats, carrots, black cabbage, and other war necessities.

The price is not too expensive, and it saves the hassle of shipping.

Although two towns in Tokara were occupied, he was actually stronger than before.

Fang Mo immediately asked Quill to draw up a shopping list, and then he began to wander around the town of Il, which was basically inhabited, and there were traces of fights everywhere, which did not look like acting.

The dense sea surface of the offshore sea is a spectacular sight to behold, and below the float are thick and dense chains, and at the end of the chains are huge boulders that go deep into the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, the chains are connected to each other, forming a vast network of submarine chains.

The centre of Il-town is a flat, open area facing the deep-sea port area, which is also very convenient if Il-town wants to expand the port in the future.

"Kuka-sama, take a look at the list!" Quill found Fang Mo in the open port area.

"Beef to duck, 1,000 pounds of cream, 5,000 pounds of carrots, 15,000 pounds of wheat, 30,000 pounds of potatoes, and 600 pounds of salt."

Fang Mo glanced at the price list, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, meat, eggs and milk were twice as expensive as a week ago, and salt was three times more expensive, so he immediately decided to purchase them immediately, and the seller was responsible for transporting these materials.

Non-meat cheap food is all purchased from Tokara's territory, meat is purchased from Kailas's territory, and a lot of seafood is added at the end.

Salt is a strategically controlled item that can only be sold in Dort's territory.

Of course, after Mel, Jeffman can also provide it.

Fang Mo let Quill place orders quickly, as a businessman, reputation is the most important, the more wars and chaos, the more he must reflect his stable business reputation, so he is not worried that someone will take the money and not give the goods.

Because there are already nearly 100 lords of all sizes gathered here, from the inland and farther along the coast, and the influence is extremely wide, if anyone ignores the customer's money, then he will not mix it up at all. Peace has laws in times of peace, and war also has order in times of war.

Fang Mo directly sent a list of 1,500,000 gold coins, and it was delivered in kind, of which the purchase share for Tokara's territory reached 900,000 gold coins, almost monopolizing all of their inventory.

Tokara was directly confused, he had been fighting for more than a few months, and he had never seen a lord who had to hoard goods for months at a time, and many lords bought it on a monthly or weekly basis.

Because no one will think that this is a protracted war, they are all ready to run away at any time, if the war goes well, there will be some gold left, and then bring it back to the territory, if you run hundreds or even thousands of kilometers home with potatoes, it is not to be laughed at by people.

Tokara is riding a tiger at the moment, and now 900,000 gold coins are already in his territory, but he is not here to change people, but to exchange food, this business cannot be refused, he once swore that if there is money, there will be goods, and all the lords are looking at it.

"Ship!"

Tokara consulted with several of his brothers for a long time, and decided that he could not destroy his reputation, and besides, he would not be able to share much of the ransom paid by Bross.

But the trading volume of 900,000 gold coins, the profits they get are all their own, and no one can share them.

Jim finished reading the list and said, "Master Kuka, we really don't have to ransom Lord Bross?" ”

Fang Mo smiled: "Why ransom? Ransom them back and sprinkle dog food? ”

"yes!"

Jim pondered for a moment, then said, "Master Kuka, I'm afraid it's not safe to store so much grain in Il, but Blackbeard is more interested in food. ”

"We have to gain a foothold on the seaside, and we will inevitably have to deal with Blackbeard, now is the opportunity, I am only afraid that there is little food, and they will not come."

Fang Mo glanced at the nearby coastal defense map, and said, "There is a high probability that Blackbeard will send someone to test our strength first. ”

Jim shook his head and said, "Isn't that a scareless snake?" ”

Fang Mo said: "If the food doesn't run, they don't care about anything else." ”

"Lord Kuka, the goods have departed, and they are being escorted by Lord Tokara himself."

Quill walked into the temporary station and reported.

"Oh? Prepare a list of 500,000 gold coins now! In addition, prepare a hole for Lord BorΓ₯s .... Room! ”

Fang Mo said proudly.

Jim and Quill were stunned at the same time, and asked, "Are you ready to redeem Lord Bross?" But we don't have enough money! ”

Fang Mo replied: "They are already on their way back, maybe in a sack, you should be careful when unloading." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded incredulously.

In the evening, the south entrance of the town.

A huge wagon was coming towards the town of Il.

Tokara's figure was already majestic, and he was dressed in heavy armor, with a silver giant sword hanging from his waist, and a full beard, he looked very powerful and domineering, followed by 200 silver-armored knights.

Fang Mo stood on the guard tower behind the town, not looking at Tokara at all, but holding a monocular four-section telescope and constantly scanning the sea.

Three Kirk-type brown-and-yellow sailboats, about three kilometers from the town, glide slowly from west to east with a netting area.

Fang Mo's right eye suddenly flashed red, and he clearly saw that the other party was also holding a telescope to observe in the direction of the town.

"It's really well-informed, it seems that the melee zone has been infiltrated quite badly, which also reflects the chaos of Dort's management from the side."

Fang Mo put away the binoculars, sighed softly, and then walked in the direction of the town.

"Great Lord Tokara, thank you for personally escorting the material to the town of Il!"

Fang Mo also rode on his war horse, and stroked his chest with his right fist and saluted Tokara.

Tokara laughed loudly and immediately dismounted: "You are a big customer, how can you not come in person?" The volume of goods is large, and it is extremely valuable, so there is no room for mistakes. ”

"Quill! Take the order, Lord Tokara, and we'll add another 500,000 gold coins. ”

As soon as Fang Mo's voice fell, Tokara immediately became excited, and Quill directly handed over the order form, and Jim had already prepared the gold coins.

"Oh ho! Generous. Tokara looked startled and immediately exclaimed.

Although many lords did business with them, they were all piecemeal, and the total profit in a year was less than half of the two transactions made by Fang Mo.

After completing this deal, they will not have to open the store for two years, except for their own use, the inventory is basically gone.

Moreover, such seasonal food crops are also costly to store, and selling them all can save a lot of labor, and Tokara simply can't ask for it.

Next, Tokara and Fang Mo boasted to each other again, and then parted at the entrance of the town.

Some people died, but not completely......
