Carlos arrives in Karin City, finds the manager of the local Flying Eagle Real Estate, and gives Leo the slip.
Thinking of Leo's instructions, he briefly mentioned his identity, and as a matter of course, he was warmly taken care of by Manager Wen and put him on the list of the latest batch of land divisions.
On the day of the division of the land, he rode the horse he had bought early and went to a wilderness outside the city. There were already many people waiting there like him for the division of the land.
The staff gave each of them a flag.
For the sake of fairness, those plots have already been divided in advance according to fifty acres each. It's just that the owner is not indicated. And this requires them to compete on an equal footing.
These future landlords will run wild on the same starting line that the Flying Eagle Company has drawn in advance, and under their orders. Whoever occupies a piece of land first and replaces the red flag planted in the middle of that land for his own, then he will be the owner of that land.
When Carlos first heard about the division of land, he regretted that he should not have bought a horse to ride cheaply, fearing that with that stupid horse, he would not be able to grab the most fertile piece of land.
But at this time, when he saw those who had come to divide the land like him, his heart suddenly calmed down. The men's horses weren't good, and his horses were among the best of them all.
But it's no wonder that all the people who divide the land here are in a much better situation, and no one is better than the other.
Among those men, Carlos even saw a few of them with long hair. A half-orc who doesn't look much like a big bear.
They didn't ride horses like humans, but on foot. Apparently he was going to compete with the horses to see who was faster.
The guys looked excited, and they kept rubbing their hands, looking full of confidence, which made the humans present very uneasy.
Even Carlos couldn't help but beat the drums in his heart. I was very skeptical that my horse would be able to outrun those guys.
At this moment, an officer of the Eagle Company, wearing a black eagle uniform and a large cap, looked very Nazi and was very SS, and slowly walked in front of everyone on horseback.
As he walked, he shouted in a loud voice, "Attention, everyone. Let me say it one last time, we are strictly in accordance with the principle of justice and fairness.
Only after I command you can you start. No one is allowed to run away, otherwise they will be punished according to the emperor's law."
He galloped to the side, then raised the flag in his hand.
At this time, a land divider standing on the starting line either couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, or relied on his identity as an adult's brother-in-law, and disdained his words.
Whatever the reason, in short, before the man could order, he neighed and urged the war horse to rush out of the starting line.
At this time, the officer saw it and immediately shouted: "Come back, come back quickly." I'll say one last time, you give me back"
Later, his voice was extraordinarily harsh.
But the man turned a deaf ear and continued to gallop.
At this time, the other people present couldn't help but make noise.
Everyone is not a fool, an officer can't control it, but that person is one step ahead of others and grabs the fattest land, and everyone will regret it for the rest of their lives.
The officer saw that the crowd was all eager, and if the man who ran away did not come back, they would all rush up. He was not in a hurry at the moment, but stretched out his hand and pointed at the man's back.
Suddenly, a blazing fireball the size of a basin was seen passing over everyone's heads.
But just before they had time to blink. I saw that the fireball had caught up with the guy who was running.
Then in the next Xuan, the fireball exploded with a "boom".
The light that exploded suddenly stabbed everyone's eyes.
Immediately afterward, the shock wave swept like a violent wind, blowing the crowd to the east and west, and the people were unsteady on their feet.
After a while, everyone looked towards the center of the explosion, and they were shocked to see that the guy who had rushed away had been blown up and there was no scum left. All that remains is a huge deep pit.
Above them, a magician flew into the air, looking down at them murderously. The officer was glad to see that he had an example in front of him, and he no longer had to worry about anyone daring to disobey the order and run away in advance.
Even the half-orcs, known as the "most heartless eyes", did not dare to sneak over the starting line again, but took a big step back, looking at themselves with a pure face like a pot friend in a kindergarten class.
The officer sneered, didn't say more, and directly raised the flag in his hand.
Everyone present suddenly held their breath.
Everyone bowed their bodies, looked at the officer's flag without blinking, and rushed out when the officer gave the order.
Time seems like a hundred years have passed, and it seems like only one breath has passed.
Then the officer waved his flag vigorously and shouted:
Suddenly, like arrows from the string, everyone galloped out.
Carlos also swung the whip desperately, hitting the horse under the crotch, and did not hesitate to stab the horse in the abdomen with a spur. In order to allow the horses to swing to the maximum extent and grab that piece of land.
That piece of land he can see in advance, is this piece of fertilizer, in
At this time, his eyes were full of longing for the land. It's not the usual look at all. It's like a bloody battle on the battlefield.
There was only one thought left in his head, and that was, run, run. Grab the front of others, grab that piece of land.
Because of the constant galloping of the horse, before he knew it, he was already tired and sweating, and he was panting.
At this moment, I saw a familiar landscape in front of me.
Carlos looked around, and now that he had left most of his competitors behind, only a half-orc not far away was spreading his legs and running wildly.
Carlos was in a hurry, leaned down, whipped his whip on the horse's buttocks, and galloped.
After a while, he saw that the red flag finally appeared in front of him, and he didn't bother to look around, so he immediately rushed over.
He galloped to the front, and before the horse could stop, he jumped off his horse. The inertia caused him to stumble and fall to the ground. But he didn't care about the pain in his body, and rolled all the way through the ground with his hands and feet, and then pulled down the flag and planted the flag he was carrying.
After doing this, he felt that his tired whole body was sore, and he couldn't breathe. He fell to the ground on his back, gasping for air.
After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves. Carlos looked up and saw several land dividers galloping towards him on horseback.
He immediately got up from the ground. Vigilantly watched the men.
But when they saw that the flag had been changed, they were all disappointed, but then they took the reins of their horses and galloped away to other places.
After all, it's not a good piece of land, if it's gone, go and grab another piece, and if you regret it here, then you can't even grab other good land.
Carlos saw them gallop away from his eyes. Only then did I realize that now the land was my own. He was now the owner of the fifty acres of land.
Carlos couldn't help but take a deep breath, then fell to his knees and kissed the land deeply, the land that belonged to him
To do things for the leader, of course, you have to do it wholeheartedly, even if you don't do it wholeheartedly. Let the leader also see your wholeheartedness.
Catherine herself is the top leadership of the large trust family monopoly group of the Ruman Empire, and she usually directs others to do things, so the following people will naturally show Catherine their wholeheartedness.
But it's different for Lorraine, Emperor Julund is now Lorraine's top boss, not to mention Catherine's big, don't look at the whole empire now everyone knows that Lorraine is the white face hand-picked by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Catherine, but if you want to marry Catherine home, the two brothers of Archduke Julius and Emperor Julund are the most important.
In fact, the conditions for these two brothers to treat Lorraine are very consistent, after all, Lorraine is Catherine's own favorite, and Archduke Julian also recognizes it, as long as the dowry is enough.
Archduke Julian now simply treats Lorraine as a bank for unlimited withdrawals, and has already cheated Lorraine a lot, but every time he writes to Lorraine and Catherine, he still calls him poor.
On the contrary, Emperor Zhulunde's conditions were very simple, as long as he earned enough territory as large as three cities.
For Lorraine, whether it is in terms of work or family affairs, Emperor Jolund is the elder that Lorraine must work hard for.
This time, Emperor Zhulunde found Lorraine for this private matter, so Lorraine should be even more expressive, especially to let his expression fall in the eyes of Emperor Zhulunde.
When Lorraine was talking to Leander, he had already made up his mind in his heart, this matter must be handled well if there are difficulties, and it is easy to do it if there are no difficulties to create difficulties, and Emperor Jolund must know that he has withstood the pressure, overcome difficulties, and paid a great price to do it.
Knowing that Lorraine was dishonest, she had a crooked mind, and she fooled her superiors to get it to Emperor Jolunde, Catherine only pulled Lorraine and punched her twice, and didn't pay attention to it at all.
Since she wants to do things beautifully, Lorraine still has to prepare early. That night, when everyone was gathered in the lounge, Lorraine and Leo walked into the lounge with a thick stack of texts as if they were holding fragile rare antiques.
Looking at the appearance of Lorraine and Leo, Catherine and Adele, who were familiar with the two of them, said at the same time: "What the hell are you two doing?"
Leo carefully placed the stack of papers on the table, as if he were his most precious toy, sat on the chair, patted the paper, sighed with satisfaction, and said with an old-fashioned look: "We have fought with the orcs for this time, and the results are almost all here." β
Adele pulled Wen JiΓ n from Lorraine's hand, picked up a copy and glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Title deed!"
Lorraine and Leo smiled proudly and nodded to Adele, who simply flipped through the title deed in her hand, stared at her big eyes, and said in surprise: "Why are there so many?"
Catherine picked up the teacup and said angrily, "Do you still need to ask, it's a good thing for the two of them again." β
Leo slammed his fist on the table, and with a thud, startled the girls at the table, and Catherine's hand shook, and the hot tea almost spilled.
Catherine also slapped the table, glared at Leo, and said, "What are you doing?"
Leo shouted with a chubby face: "Is it easy for me and the boss to work hard to get these lands, that is not bought with real money, you don't know the goods, forget it, and talk about cool things." It's really aunt who can bear it, but uncle can't bear it. β
Catherine put the teacup down, pinched her fingers, and said with a smile: "No, what, do you have an opinion?"
Leo stiffened his neck and said, "Originally, you see, these are all our own names." β
Catherine pulled all the title deeds out of Leo's hand, and quickly flipped through them one by one, only to see that they were all written on them by Lorraine, Leo, and their names.
Catherine passed the title deeds to Hillelia and Lorina, and the women at the table looked at the names on the title deeds and the number of lands.
Luo Lina smashed her mouth, added a pink tongue to her lips, and then raised her head and said angrily: "I didn't expect that we will become big landlords now." Adele glanced at Lorina and said, "Your family is originally a big landlord, okay?" β
Lorena waved her hand and said, "That's different, those are handed down from my ancestors, these are my own earnings, good guy, there is more land than our family has now, if this is passed back to Ruman City, my father will have to drop his jaw." β
Adele touched the title deed in her hand and said with a sweet smile: "Now, I see if my grandfather has anything to say." β
Vera frowned, tilted her head to look at Lorraine, and said suspiciously: "Young master, I exchanged tens of thousands of gold coins for a few pieces of paper?
Lorenca knocked on Vera's head angrily. "Vera, sometimes you are as good as a dragon, and sometimes you are as stupid as white, I really don't know how your parents taught you." β
Vera touched her head and said, "No one in our family has any land, everyone only likes real gold." β
Luo Lina shrugged her shoulders and said, "I know that it is useless to tell you, let's put it this way, from today onwards, in the Ruman Empire, you Vera is also the number one landlord." β
Vera let out a stupid "oh" and said, "It's okay if you don't lose anything, I don't know how to farm anyway." β
Lorraine shook the title deed in his hand and said: "According to what we said, the money has been spent, these lands are here, in order not to attract attention, I signed the title deed according to 10,000 acres, but the plots are all adjacent, and everyone is 90,000 acres, and any more will be a big deal." β
Luo Lina took a breath and said, "Everyone is 90,000 abandoned, and there are eight of us, which is 700,000 acres, Lorraine, you really dare to get it." β
Adele raised her eyebrows at Lorina and said, "What's this, for this battle, our people didn't contribute, and now we should get these loot, compared to Lorraine's record." It's less than one percent. β
Lorraine stretched his waist and said, "Is there such a thing as war, once you lose it, you will be bankrupt, and once you win, you will be rich." Whether it's orcs or us, we are born and die with blades, not for the sake of land and gold. β
Catherine pinched Lorraine and said, "Okay, okay, I know you're right, what's the matter with so many title deeds written on the Flying Eagle Group here?"
Lorraine shrugged his shoulders and said, "As you can see, this is a real estate purchased in the name of the company, although I didn't expect your uncle to come and ask us for land, but these things have been prepared for a long time." In order to cope with today's situation. The land we hold in our hands is basically the best quality of the land currently under the circle. β
Leo laughed, like a simple bear, and said: "180 million acres of land, 800 miles in width, 600 miles in length, it looks like a very large place, but the best plot of land is more than 3 million acres on the table." β
Leo knocked on the title deed on the table and said proudly, "It's all in our hands." β
Lorraine drew a large circle on the map, expanding the territory of Nai'an by more than half, but of course this circle was not a nonsense drawing.
First of all, we must ensure the safety of the land, so that people can reclaim this land with peace of mind, if the orcs come to loot at every turn, no matter how good the plot is, no matter how fertile the land is, no one dares to ask for these places.
Pushing six hundred miles to the south is the limit of the current capacity of the Naian army, although Lorraine still has a grand plan in his heart, "But the time is not yet ripe, first digest it in his arms, and accumulate military expenses before proceeding to the next step."
Lorraine doesn't want to be like the country that is rich in love action movies, eating from the bowl. Looking at the pot, I still think about other people's families, and I was given a big chrysanthemum by the ghost animal country with an atomic bomb, or twice.
After enclosing the land, the Flying Eagle Company sent a survey team of hundreds of people, divided into more than a dozen groups, and spent a full month to carefully survey every corner of the land.
Appearance, environmental organisms, air, water and soil, etc., are clearly recorded, and according to the custom of the Ruman Empire, these lands are also divided into four levels.
After the information was brought back to Nedel City, it was locked in a safe by Lorraine and Leo as the top trade secret of the Flying Eagle Company.
The land that was rated as the best grade was digested by Lorraine and Leo within the Flying Eagle Company, and fell into the hands of the Lorraine family.
