775. Honey's proposal
In the face of Rand's question, Honey introduced unhurriedly: "My lord, my grandfather said before that the total number of Hindukr Terrans exceeds 100,000, and the number of demon supporters exceeds 20,000. In the scorched wolf mines in the south, the Terrans are almost the only miners, and the farmers in the fields of the Lyncat are mostly Terrans, and these two large tribes alone need more than 70,000 laborers. ”
Rand was a little surprised: "So many people? ”
"Yes, Lin Mao not only has one city in Xingtian, but three: Xingtian, Linjiang and Tie'an City." Honey didn't rush to explain, but slowly told the history.
"For hundreds of years, Linjiang City has been the capital of the cat clan, and Xingtian and Tie'an City are two large mines, these three cities have magic furnaces left over from ancient times, and the dependents of the cat clan are all sitting in Linjiang, and the small sects in the clan are sent to supervise the mining of mythril ore and gem ore by the human race in Xingtian City and Tie'an City.
About 90 years ago, the veins of Xingtian had been mined, and my grandfather, Rousseff, was recognized by the entire basin for his life magic, and became the only Terran magister in the basin.
The cat clan handed over the rule of Xingtian to his grandfather, who turned it into a city dominated by planting, and then as he delivered more and more dependents, it became the cradle of the dependents, and then the dependents needed potions when they grew up, and there were a few more workshops in the city of Xingtian......"
The more Honey talked, the more he recounted the history of Xingtian City, it can be said that Rousseff successfully transformed this resource-extracting city into a new city integrating agriculture, potions processing, and medical services.
"My lord, I am telling you this to show that the reason why the Terrans are able to have so many numbers in the basin is because the local orcs do need a large labor force. Not only the forest cats, but the scorched wolf clan also owns three cities, and the mines near these three cities also need tens of thousands of miners. Honeyll concluded, "If there were no Terrans as laborers, I'm afraid the whole basin would be depressed." ”
Rand understood: "So, you think it's impossible for the forest cat and the scorched wolf to hand over the Terrans in their hands to me?" ”
Honey agreed: "Yes, it is impossible for a nezumi or a lizard to become a miner at all, this has been proven repeatedly by the two races in the past few hundred years, the leader of the scorched wolf, Tata, is too confident and thinks that he can control the nezumi, but in fact, the nezumi reproduce too fast, their individual strength is too small, and their lifespan is too short to be a stable labor force at all." ”
"I see what you mean." Rand nodded, "Maybe I'm thinking too simply. ”
"My lord," the girl stepped forward and pointed to the camp on the west side of the Iowa Boundary River, "There are now 3,000 demon supporters in this camp, although they are all at the level that has been promoted in the past two days, they are the strongest Terrans in the basin, and I hope you can find a way." ”
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for Faneuil to act, and she'll send a message to the Terrans in the camp tonight......" Rand nodded, not saying anything more.
"Faneuil Emissary? She ......"
"Let's not talk about her." Rand waved his hand, interrupting Honey's question.
Now Faneuil's identity is very sensitive, and Ranger doesn't want to mention it more, so he changed the subject and asked: "Anyway, you also met my eldest brother Ryan Galloping Horse just now, he is not only the eldest brother of our family, but also sincere and friendly, brave and resourceful, and now he is a high-ranking knight, and has won the title of Viscount of the Palace, and he will become a high-ranking knight in the future." ”
After Wendy's reminder just now, Rand seriously promoted his eldest brother Ryan Galloping Horse to Honey, the two have the same rank, the same title, and even the same status, but the female knight's reaction is very cold.
"Your brother is a good guy ......" Honey looked at Rand after handing out the good guy card, it was clear that if Rand was really going to continue selling, there was a 'but' waiting behind her.
"Hey~" Rand looked at such a simple good guy card, and knew that the female knight in front of him was afraid that she was not a master of love, and her good brother really married her, and she couldn't control it at all.
Looking at Rand's embarrassed look, Honeyr thought that he was jealous of his royal bloodline, so he said: "My lord, if you are afraid that I will cause you trouble in the future, you can put me in the tribe of the Demon Tiger or the Tapara, I don't mind living with orcs or demonic beasts." ”
"They all live with me, and their tribe is in this castle." Rand rejected Honey's offer, "I'm not worried about your identity, it's just that Wendy and I believe that there is a real need for a suitable person in the territory to handle the banquet, and Jenny Galloping Horse has been recommending you." ”
"My lord, if that's the case......" Honey paused tactically again, and she looked around before continuing, "When I first came to this room, I saw a lot of girls, and I thought they were all your wife. ”
"It was a misunderstanding." Rand shook his head.
"Really? You mean, if most of them have sweethearts and become the wives of other nobles, or if there is another young nobleman who marries most of them, you ...... too."
"He dares!"
Rand subconsciously scolded directly, and his unconscious anger even lowered the temperature in the room a lot.
Feeling the cold, Honey knew that this was really angry as a high-level rand, and quickly explained:
"My lord, I don't think that there is any high-ranking person in this world other than you who would dare to marry Sophia, Wendy and Mage Gulya at the same time, not to mention that they are living with you now, even if you tell others that they are not your wife, other nobles will not be able to believe it."
"But I have to remind you that instead of finding an agent for the territory, the most important thing you should do is to stabilize the most important power in the territory, and there are knights like me who can be recruited, but there are no mages like Wendy and them."
"Thank you for the reminder," Rand nodded thoughtfully, but felt that Honey's attitude towards Wendy and the others had suddenly changed dramatically, and he hurriedly asked, "But I heard that you and Wendy have some ......."
Seeing that Rand made a "contradictory" lip shape, Honey smiled and said, "My lord, I am a knight, since I have declared my allegiance to you, I should make suggestions according to my heart." ”
"Of course, you're doing a good job."
Honey didn't linger in the study, she leaned slightly and walked out the door, from the study to the living room, and then opened the door and left the lord's room.
As soon as she closed the door, Honey suddenly found Wendy and Lili standing in the doorway, looking at her with excitement on their faces.
"Wendy, you ......"
"What you said just now is so right!" Wendy grabbed Honey's hands at once, nodded vigorously and said, "That guy doesn't know what to think, either he thinks of himself as a sandbag for the city's monsters, or he is with the animals every day, and he doesn't know how much to accompany us......
"You dare to eavesdrop on the lord's conversation!" Honey was even more surprised.
"Don't worry, if he really doesn't want me to listen to it, he will be cut off from the magic net," Wendy put his arms around Honey, "Your armor is not good enough, let's go to the factory in the new industrial area in a while, and I'll give you a better set!" ”
