Early in the morning, after breakfast, the prince's guards took Wang Yong to Prince Xihami's study.

Prince Xihami laughed when he saw Wang Yong, and then pointed at Wang Yong with his finger and said: "Ivan, Ivan, you made Martin very angry yesterday, and now almost all the nobles in the imperial capital know about yesterday." Come and tell me what the hell is that ritual of yours for?"

Wang Yong scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, all the processes were agreed by him in advance, it's not like I'm playing with him." Besides, I didn't lie to him, I told him from the beginning that this ceremony is for very special people, and he doesn't ask to understand, so I don't blame him. Hehe, let me tell you, Your Royal Highness, in fact, that ceremony is used in funerals in my hometown. Hey, hey!"

After hearing this, Prince Xihami laughed again, and then said with a little complaint: "You are really good at manipulating, it seems that I will have to be careful in the future, don't let your kid play tricks if you don't pay attention one day." ”

Wang Yong said with a hippie smile: "How dare I, I will only attack those who have bad intentions, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you take such good care of me, I am not in a hurry to repay you." ”

Wang Yong was muttering in his heart: "This old guy doesn't know what idea he is playing, no one will be good to anyone for no reason, it is better to be careful in the future." But now, it seems that I still take advantage of myself, at least these twenty people eat and drink for nothing here, and I really save a lot of money. ”

Prince Xihami said with a smile: "Actually, Your Majesty also wants to help you, but you have also seen that those nobles are now forming gangs, and their influence is not small." Your Majesty doesn't want to touch them now, and this time I called you to help Your Majesty bring you a message. Your Majesty asked me to tell you that you should do your best, and even if you don't do it well, Your Majesty will not really do anything to you. Originally, I wanted to tell the nobles that you could become a magician, and if they knew about your talent and what you could achieve in the future, I don't think they would have bothered you so much. It's just that after discussing with His Majesty, I decided not to release this news. First, for your safety, if other countries know that your spiritual power is one hundred and fifty-five calories, it is estimated that they will destroy you by any means, so about the fact that you have such a high spiritual power, you had better not let others know. What's more, Your Majesty also wants you to experience it yourself, and give you a barren territory to develop slowly, which will also be beneficial to your future. ”

At this time, Prince Xihami was thinking in his heart: "Do you want to marry your precious daughter to this Ivan, but I am still a little reluctant, let's talk about it later."

After all, there are too many variables in the future, and if one is not done well, it will be a loss. ”

Wang Yong said sincerely: "I will work hard to accumulate experience, and I will protect myself, thank Your Royal Highness and Your Majesty for your concern." ”

Prince Xihami took out Wang Yong's coin and handed it to Wang Yong, and said meaningfully: "This is your thing, Your Majesty is also very amazed at the metallurgical technology of your hometown after reading it, this is now returned to you, I hope you can use your knowledge to contribute to the empire." ”

Wang Yong took back the coin and put it around his neck and said, "I will, Your Royal Highness." ”

Prince Sihami said: "My personal opinion, after you receive the 50,000 gold coins given to you by the empire, you should first go and get some population and food. First of all, there are a lot of people to build the city, and I know you bought some slaves, but that's not enough. I'll tell you, it's the city you used to go to, if you want to build a city of this scale, you need at least 1,000 people to work for a year, and the premise is that all kinds of materials are ready. It's hard to gain a foothold in your territory if it's not defended by walls, and the bandits there are very strong. ”

Wang Yong said complimentarily: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for reminding me, if you don't say it, I thought the slaves I bought were almost enough." ”

When Wang Yong heard this number, his heart began to feel a little empty, "Where can I find so many people?" ”

Prince Xihami said with a smile: "Also, you have passed at this time now, it is almost November when you arrive in the territory, the climate over there is warmer, although you can still start building a city in November, but I still have to advise you to wait until the spring of next year, after the land has completely softened before starting construction." So you have to be careful this winter, if you can, you can first exterminate the small bandits, and then go and buy more slaves in February next year. If you bring too many slaves, although the safety is guaranteed, but so many people, the food consumed this winter will also cost a lot of money. I suggest that after you buy more slaves next year, it's not too late to purge all the bandits. ”

Wang Yong firmly remembered Prince Xihami's words, and said with a grateful face: "I have written it down, Your Royal Highness. ”

Prince Xihami smiled slightly, and then said: "In February next year, I will support a group of craftsmen in the name of private individuals to help you build the city." But I can state in advance that I can only send people, and you need to be responsible for the food and tools, haha!"

Wang Yong gave the prince a noble salute, smiled and said, "Of course, thank Your Majesty and His Royal Highness again." ”

To be honest, Wang Yong was indeed very grateful when he heard Prince Xihami's words, but Wang Yong was not sure whether Prince Xihami was sincere or had another purpose, so Wang Yong decided to wait and use time to verify all this.

Prince Xihami nodded and asked with concern, "When do you plan to leave?"

Wang Yong thought about it, calculated the itinerary, and felt that there was nothing important to do, so he replied: "After I receive the gold coins given by the empire, I will buy more food and weapons and set off, and if it goes well, I will set off the day after tomorrow." ”

Prince Sihami said, "It is good that you should leave early and save them the trouble of looking for you." I won't be going to see you off when you set off, and I'll see it for myself when your territory develops. ”

Wang Yong said confidently: "When the time comes, I will let you see a different city." ”

Back at his lodgings, Wang Yong called Kevin and they went to the slave market again.

This time, Lei followed him, and Wang Yong estimated that he also wanted to see if there were any other fox people, so he came with him. Otherwise, with Regan's character, he should hide in his room and study his alchemy.

Wang Yong was going to take the slaves he had purchased with him today, and the servant reported yesterday that he had found a place for the slaves to live temporarily, near the north gate of the city.

There was a large warehouse, and now there is no storage of goods in it, and the person in charge of watching the warehouse rented it to them privately behind the back of the owner of the warehouse.

The man who looked at the warehouse learned that Wang Yong and they only needed ten days and should not be discovered, so he wanted to make some extra money, and rented the warehouse to Wang Yong for ten days at the price of one gold coin.

Wang Yong doesn't care who the owner of the warehouse is, anyway, he doesn't break the law by renting the warehouse at his own expense, even if the owner of the warehouse finds out, it's none of their business.

But now that the plan had changed, Wang Yong decided to set off earlier, so that the man who watched the warehouse would be cheaper, and the slaves could stay in the warehouse for two days at most.

Wang Yong and his entourage walked into the shop where Moli was, and when the guy saw Wang Yong and them coming, he said respectfully: "Wait a minute." Then he ran out and told Maury to come over.

Maury was discussing business with a few guests nearby, and when he learned that the people who knew the eldest lady were coming, he hurriedly told his friends to greet the guests, and he hurried back by himself.

Maury returned to the shop, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Lord Ivan, you are here so soon? Those slaves are with me, I don't treat them badly, I have enough food every day, haha." ”

Wang Yong had a good impression of Mori, got up and grabbed Mori's hand, shook it, and said with a smile on his face: "Then I thank you, I have found a place to settle them, I want to take them away now." ”

Mo Li didn't know why Wang Yong was holding his hand, but he could feel Wang Yong's kindness, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring them all out now." ”

Wang Yong glanced at Lei and knew that he was a little introverted and didn't like to deal with unfamiliar people, so Dai Leigen asked, "By the way, Mori, do you still have any slaves from the fox clan here?"

Mo Li was just about to go out to gather slaves, and when he heard Wang Yong ask about the fox slaves, he turned around and replied with a smile: "No, the three you sold were just delivered." Slaves of the fox clan are not common, two or three a year is already very good. If it weren't for the fact that you had so many slaves, I would never have sold them for that price. Of course, if I had known that you knew our eldest lady, I wouldn't have been verbose with you for so long, hehe. ”

Wang Yong saw that Reagan was a little disappointed, so he asked again: "Aren't there any slaves of the fox clan in other shops?"

Maury thought for a moment and said, "If our Ramos Chamber of Commerce doesn't have it, other stores won't have it, I can guarantee that." Because the slaves of other races are okay, but the slaves of the fox clan are too scarce, otherwise they would not be so expensive. ”

Wang Yong nodded and said, "Oh, then that's it, you go and bring people, we're leaving." Maury nodded, turned and went out to gather the slaves.

Wang Yong sat in the shop and waited while thinking in his heart whether to listen to the advice of Prince Xihami, first clear out some small groups of bandits, and then find a relatively safe place to establish a foundation, and wait for next year's manpower to be sufficient, and then vigorously eliminate the remaining bandits.

Wang Yong personally feels that Prince Xihami's suggestion is a bit conservative, and if it is implemented according to what he said, it will be tantamount to compromising with those bandits in disguise, which will affect everyone's morale, not to mention his own character.

But if you just arrive in the territory and start to wipe out the bandits there, your own strength seems to be not enough, it is said that the largest group of bandits in the territory has hundreds of people, only relying on their own 100 or so slave soldiers, and they also go to deliver food to people.

Wang Yong fantasized: "It would be nice if there were machine guns, no matter how many bandits there were, a few shuttle bullets could overturn them, and then get a tank or something, and directly bulldoze the bandits' lair." After a while, Wang Yong shook his head and put aside these unrealistic fantasies.

Next, Wang Yong told everyone about his troubles, hoping that everyone could come up with a better solution.

Da Tou said disapprehantly: "We have two junior warriors in Vani and Nuosen, and we still need to be afraid of those bandits? ”

Vani pouted and said, "How do you know that people don't have a fighting profession?" Besides, how good are you really when we are, ordinary people, we don't care about ten or eight, we can solve it in a few clicks, but we can't resist it if there are more people." Especially when hundreds of people fight in groups, they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, and junior fighters like us can't exert all their strength, and they can't last long, and the fighting spirit is consumed, and we can only wait for death. ”

Kevin said worriedly: "Then what should we do? We really have to wait until next year? We don't have the strength to exterminate the large bandits, but they have the strength to destroy us, we can't always defend with fear, right? If we are not careful, maybe we will be really destroyed by others." ”

Karl proposed, "Why don't I go back and find those friends of mine to come and help?"

Wang Yong pouted and said, "You can pull it, just your friends, let's not say whether they dare to come or not, even if they come, what can they do? Let them blackmail those bandits? If there is a real fight, I guess they will be the first to escape." ”

"Otherwise, we're buying more slaves, and we have enough men so we won't be afraid of the bandits." ”

Wang Yong smiled bitterly and said: "I want to too, but we don't have so many gold coins, we can't use up all the 50,000 gold coins in order to exterminate the bandits, in that way, we don't have to develop the territory in the future, let's wait to starve to death together." ”

At this time, Regan, who had been silent, spoke: "Isn't there still a fishing village in the territory, it is said that there are more than a thousand people, if those people are recruited to fight the bandits together, there should be a good chance of victory." ”

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that the feasibility was very high. But Wang Yong felt that if things did not develop as expected, the consequences would be miserable.

In the end, seeing that he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, Wang Yong decided to go to the territory first to see the situation.
