Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 65 Ferrier Town

After the Second Northland Pioneering Group entered the Northland, the local bandits became professionalized, because many people gathered the idle bandits, provided weapons and food, conducted simple training, and formed a more professional bandit group.

Although the investment is not small, as long as they can lay down a territory and transform themselves, they will become the new nobles of the Northland.

How to choose becomes simple with a small fortune and a huge profit.

Fortunately, the deterrent force of the Imperial Frontier Army is extraordinary. The places close to the imperial border still maintain peace and prosperity. There are petty thefts and thugs, but it is rare to blatantly organize a group to rob, because no one wants to provoke the Imperial Frontier Army. , so Currence's next journey was smooth, and he came to the town of Ferrier without any twists and turns.

The town of Ferrier is known as a pearl on the border of the Northland. Its owner is Countess Ferrier, a nobleman of the Northland who is famous for her glamorous beauty. She is also the only Earl in the entire Northland. Her town is very prosperous, because it almost monopolizes The high-end fur market in the entire Northland, especially the few top-level furs that are sent to the imperial capital for auction every year, are the luxury goods that the noble ladies of the empire dream of, and the auction prices are jaw-dropping every time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a town is full of gold, so it is naturally not something that ordinary people can build, especially a countess who is famous for her beauty.

In fact, there have been rumors in public and privately that Countess Ferrier is just a puppet pushed out. The real owner behind this town is a certain figure in the imperial frontier army. The greedy ones who spy on the riches gathered in the town of Ferrier.

Although there is no real evidence for this statement, it is the most marketable. After all, it is difficult for a woman to gain a foothold in the man-eating Northland, let alone create such a large foundation. Therefore, no one dares to easily provoke Ferrier. Earl, I'm afraid that he will be flattened by a group of robbers who are as elite as frontier soldiers that night.

When Currans arrived, he found that maybe it was because it was close to the border of the empire, or maybe it was because it had enough confidence. The city wall of Ferrier town was not that tall. It was only two meters high and half a meter thick, which was enough to resist robbers. However, it is very powerless in the face of the war, but this does not affect its prosperity, just the periphery of the town is very lively.

In the open space of the river bend not far from the town of Ferrier, a large number of tents and camps appeared in clumps like mushrooms after the rain. It was a bit crowded, not to mention the quality of life. , fetching water from the downstream to cook in a big pot, everyone has long been used to it, no one cares at all, they are all busy making money.

This is a place where ordinary furs are traded, and it is also a place where southern merchants exchange with northern merchants. The tax revenue from daily transactions alone is comparable to the output of a small noble's territory for a year, not to mention the consumption during this period. Commodities, even if the fur trading season is only one month a year, still bring great wealth to this frontier town.

Currans came at the right time. After spring, the high-quality furs obtained from winter hunting in the Northland were sent here one after another. The cobbler and tailor here priced them according to the quality, and the best furs would be sent to the fur master for identification. They are divided into grades, and the most top-quality furs will be sent to the imperial capital for auction, and the lucky ones who provide furs often get rich overnight, but no one cares about whether they live or die next.

With so many people gathered, it is of course impossible to swarm them all into the town, let alone the cavalry, so Currans rented a small camp with a dozen tents nearby, settled the cavalry, and just wanted to ask I asked the four mysterious people if they needed help, but the Kungfu man disappeared when he turned his head. He had no choice but to take a knight and prepare to enter the city.

This is a businessman who often goes to Mara Town. Currence has dealt with the other party several times, so he stopped for a chat and asked about the situation in Ferrier Town. Who would have thought that this scene would fall into the eyes of those who care Here, especially the camp behind him still has the logo of the Hydera family, and those elite cavalry are hard to ignore.

Not long after Currence left, the businessman was grabbed by the wrist by a man.

"Ked, you bastard, don't take care of the business of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce. You came here to scare me. If you don't invite me to the Rabbit Ears Tavern for a drink." Said.

"I just came to see you for a drink, but the Rabbit Ear Tavern in the city is fine. I have not only good wine in my tent, but also good bacon that someone gave me. Let's go and drink at my place." Cod laughed He pulled the businessman to leave, but this time the businessman didn't want to leave.

"Your wine doesn't taste good. Tell me. If there is anything else you can ask me to help with, let's talk about it first. Don't do anything that is not beneficial." The businessman shook off the other party's hand and said angrily.

"Nothing else, just ask for some news." Ke De didn't expect to hide it from the other party, just smiled and said.

The businessman is not stupid. He turned his head and looked at the banner of the camp behind him, and he knew what Kord's purpose was.

He knew that the rumors that the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce plotted a certain noble territory were not false, but who would have thought that the Hydera family hid so deeply that it almost made the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce cry. Not only did they lose a batch of goods, but also because of Not being able to serve the maids caused damage to the reputation, and it has not recovered in the past two years. Otherwise, how could Codd, who is the person in charge of the North Land, go to the ordinary exchange outside the city, which was traded in the city in previous years.

"A bottle of good wine is not enough." The businessman who knows how to sell for a price said meaningfully.

"It definitely satisfies you." Kord secretly stuffed a money bag into the opponent's hand.

The businessman squeezed his five fingers, knowing it well, and nodded with satisfaction, but this was only the price of inviting him to drink, and the information about the Hydera family was not enough.

Not to mention that the Hydera family had once again fallen into the eyes of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, Currence put on neat aristocratic attire, rode a white horse, and entered the city under the guard of a knight.

As a nobleman, Currence could of course enter the city, and he was allowed to bring servants and guards with him. He wanted the four mysterious people to pretend to be his servants and sneak in, but they disappeared without saying a word.

However, this did not affect Currence's plan. At this time, the taverns in the town gathered people from all over the world. If they wanted to get information, all they had to do was prick up their ears. He would not miss the opportunity.

"Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce." Walking on the street, Ke Lunsi stopped suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and then started again.

Of course Currence knew the relationship between the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce and his lord, but as a smart person, he shouldn't easily get involved in things that shouldn't be meddled with, such as the lord's family affairs, so he didn't intend to go in to say hello.
