Lord Harland.

Chapter 240 Exchange Resources
King Roger is a man of resolute action, with a very military style. Immediately after the meeting, he dispatched a special envoy to the northern border to discuss with Richard, intending to exchange resources with the Harland family.

Although lion owls are precious, in Li Cha's mind, they may not be impossible to exchange.

Because the formation and training of the lion cavalry is difficult, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Although Li Cha can rely on the magic contract to force the lion duck to take off into the air to fight.

But the lion squirrel is also an intelligent creature with a high IQ. As long as it flies into the air and is not controlled by a knight, the lion squirrel will not have subjective initiative. When encountering a harpy, it will usually choose to avoid fighting.

I am afraid that only near the camp, I will deal with Li Cha a little bit.

It often takes five to ten years to domesticate wild lion squirrels, train a lion squirrel cavalry, and truly form combat effectiveness.

The Grant family controls the power of a kingdom and has a lot of precious resources in their hands. If the royal family is willing to take it out, the bottom line in Richard's heart is to give up half of the lion ducks and exchange them with the royal family.

The royal envoy came to northern Xinjiang and first met Richard's father, William.

William has many connections in the Northern Legion. Through the nobles in the capital, he has found out the background of the special envoy Morris.Then a messenger was sent to deliver the information to Richard.

After Hayden received the information, he immediately reported to Richard, and handed over the secret letter written by William to Richard.

"The royal family's special envoy to northern Xinjiang is named Maurice Allen, who is the brother-in-law of King Roger and the brother of Marquis Allen. Because of this relationship, Maurice Allen has very high authority and is relatively Self-determination, there is no need to report major and minor matters to the capital, and many issues can be decided by themselves during the negotiation process.

This man is not shallow. Although my father tried it, the special envoy did not reveal it in Heihe Castle. The bottom line of the royal family still needs us to negotiate and test it. "Hayden introduced Morris's background, looked at Li Cha blankly, and waited for him to make a final decision.

"What's your opinion?"

Hayden said decisively: "I think we should exchange some resources with the capital, especially the breathing method practiced by the soldiers in the territory, it is best to complete it this time.

The nobles of the Grant Kingdom have at least mastered a complete set of breathing techniques.And the breathing method mastered by our family is still incomplete.

In a few years, Jennings will be promoted to the fifth rank. After he is promoted, will he join the Silver Wolf Army for the sake of his future?Even if we can restrict his personal freedom and require him to sign a long-term service contract, let him serve the territory for 20 or 30 years.But will he have complaints in his heart?Incomplete breathing is not conducive to our recruitment of outstanding talents.

Now it seems that even if the breathing method is not complete, it will not have a great impact on the territory. In ten or twenty years, this problem will be very troublesome. "

After listening to Hayden's answer, Li Cha nodded in satisfaction and said, "You have thought well. It seems that you have been tempered in your work in recent years, and your thinking has matured a lot. Intelligence work is often exposed to the dark side, which has a great impact on people's character." Because of the influence, this job is not suitable for long-term work. You have to prepare in advance, and I may have plans to change people in the next year or two."

Although Hayden is Li Cha's older brother, it was Li Cha who made up his mind for both brothers since they were young.Regarding Hayden's appointment, although Richard will notify him in advance and ask for his opinion, he will not be swayed by Hayden's opinion.

The relationship between the two of them is not only elder brother and younger brother, but also the lord and the military officer of the territory. The difference between the two is very obvious.

Because of the cruel environment, the tradition in northern Xinjiang has always been that the capable go up and the bad go down, and they don't pay much attention to the difference between the old and the young.

Hayden has adapted to this since he was a child, and has developed the habit of obeying Richard's orders.

"Who are you going to appoint as the new intelligence officer for the territory?"

"I haven't considered it yet, but I plan to split the intelligence system into three aspects: military intelligence, internal intelligence, and external intelligence. Promote Ruiz, Luciano and others, and appoint George as the intelligence adjutant. "

Hearing this, Hayden said with some hesitation: "Richard, my father didn't plan for George's future in this way. He planned to send George to the royal capital to be a civil servant."

Although William did not publicly state his plans for his son at the family meeting, everyone has understood William's thoughts over the years.

The William Territory will naturally be handed over to Li Cha to inherit, after all, Li Cha has put a lot of effort into this territory.

Fort William is now the core territory of the Harland family. If this territory is handed over to other people, Richard will definitely not let it go.

Li Cha is not a good-tempered person, and his prestige in the territory is at its peak. If William makes a foolish decision, the Harland family will immediately have a human tragedy, and the flesh and blood will be killed.

Hayden, Wendy, and Li Cha are siblings with a very close relationship. Of course, they will follow Li Cha to develop in Harland's territory.

Mrs. Ola's sons, William is going to train them into businessmen, scholars, and officials of the royal capital, keeping them away from right and wrong, and avoid threatening Richard's inheritance.

As for Ron, because he is the son of William's first love, and Barron died in battle, the true feelings may be deeper.I'm afraid William wants to get a second fief, allowing Ron to inherit the title and become a hereditary baron.

"I have thought about the development of George and the others. The intelligence system needs members of the Harland family. I will discuss this matter with my father alone."

"George is only 17 years old and has little experience. His ability may not meet your requirements to supervise and balance intelligence officials."

After hearing Hayden's words, Li Cha pondered for a while and said, "Over the years, based on my own experience, ability is relatively secondary and opportunity is more important. You are only 19 years old when you are in charge of intelligence work. If you don't keep William His blood is not qualified for the job at all. But judging from the later results, there is no problem with you presiding over the intelligence work.

As long as George is given a chance, his ability can be gradually improved. After all, George has received a complete education and has been practicing breathing techniques for two years. Can stand shoulder to shoulder with me and my third uncle. "

"My situation is different from George. When I was in charge of intelligence work, there were not many people in the territory, and intelligence work was not very troublesome. Now the Harland family has a population of 10,000+, an area of ​​more than 8000 square kilometers, and more than ten castles. , the work is intricate and complex, far more complicated and troublesome than it was at the beginning.”

"Maybe you're right. I didn't intend to promote George to a high position all at once. He may first serve as your adjutant and assist you in managing intelligence work. This time is about two to three years."

"Since we talked about intelligence work today, I am going to recommend an intelligence talent to you. This person's name is Vitas."

Before Hayden finished speaking, Li Cha hurriedly interrupted him.

"Who are you talking about, Vitas, isn't this person the intelligence officer of the Cisse family?"

"You still remember Vitas?"

"You know, my memory is very strong, not to mention that we dealt with this person a few years ago. Vitas gave us a lot of trouble back then, and even Ruiz, the current intelligence backbone of the territory, They are all people placed by Vitas."

Hearing this, Hayden laughed loudly and said, "Vitas never expected that Ruiz chose to rebel because we cured his appendicitis. No, he should have chosen the side of justice."

"It can't be said that there is justice between us and the Cisse family."

“The winner is not condemned, the winner is always just. Because the winner writes history, and the loser can only invent history.”

Hayden's words immediately made Richard burst into laughter, making Hayden confused.He really didn't know what was so funny about his words, it was just a true reflection of himself.

Li Cha coughed violently while laughing. Hayden's words brought his thoughts back to more than [-] years ago.

At that time, Li Cha was still in university on Earth, and he liked to hang out in various military history forums every day.At that time, there were countless fruit fans, and well-known big Vs were rampant in various forums.

In Li Cha's previous life, because he liked to read miscellaneous books, he knew a little about the history of the Republic of China. During a quarrel with a fruit fan, he uttered the same classic quotes as Hayden.

This sentence immediately became a classic quote on the forum.

Li Cha tried his best to hold back his cough, put away his memories, saw Hayden looking at him in a daze, and explained a few words: "It's nothing, your words reminded me of a funny thing I encountered when I was studying." Could it be that Vitas came to join us because he was implicated in the internal struggle of the Cisse family?"

"Yes, Vitas is the confidant of the previous patriarch of the Cisse family, Boye. After taking office, Dawei, the Baron of Cisse, wants to investigate the responsibility for the failure of the Cisse family. Vitas is regarded as a scapegoat by Boye, and we still rely on us escaped from the prison of the Cissy family with the power of the Cisse family."

"Will Vitas cheat us by hurting his own body?"

Intelligence work has always been omnipotent.

Hayden felt that he believed Vitas, but Richard's words made him fall into a long silence.

Because doing intelligence work requires a skeptical heart, and you must always look at problems objectively.

"Maybe, maybe it's possible."

After a long time, Hayden answered Richard's question with uncertainty.

"Although Vitas is a talent, we didn't train him alone. This person can be used, but he can't be reused. He can be responsible for part of the external intelligence and stay in Fort William.

How to use this person and grasp the scale is up to you. "

The two talked for a long time, involving all aspects of the territory, and had lunch together before Li Cha sent Hayden away.

A few days later, the special envoy of the royal family came to the territory. Li Cha did not dare to neglect, and entertained Maurice Allen very politely.

Morris took his entourage and wandered around Harland's territory for a few days.

Although Li Cha didn't want him to investigate the reality of the territory, but with Morris's special status, Li Cha couldn't restrict other people's freedom, let alone drive away the king's special envoy.

However, Li Cha still forbids him to visit factories, mines, schools, research institutes, mage towers, hospitals, etc. where confidentiality is involved. Even though Morris is a little dissatisfied, Li Cha will not change his mind easily.

After spending a few days in Harland's territory, he secretly estimated the strength of Harland's territory.Morris was secretly startled by the speed at which Harland's territory developed.

According to Morris' observation, the strength of the Harland family is now comparable to that of the weaker earldom.

It often takes several generations of efforts for a family to be promoted to Earl.The Grant family's promotion from baron to earl also took four generations of hard work and took more than 160 years.Then, through the struggle of eleven generations of earls, he became the duke of the Kingdom of Venus, and finally the sixth generation duke seized the opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Kingdom of Venus.

From baron to king, the Grant family took 1000 years.

For the Harland family to develop to this point in just over ten years, Richard's ability must be far beyond ordinary people.

There are some such people in the history of the Dawn Plane, and they are often recorded in history books and are legendary figures.

Richard's performance surpassed that of the ancestors of the Grant family.Maurice is also a little jealous of such a person, and he is unwilling to offend the Harland family and cause trouble for himself.

In the past few days, Morris has also seen the lion squirrel with his own eyes. Obtaining the lion squirrel is his main task. He found Li Cha, and said straight to the point: "Viscount Richard, may I take the liberty to ask, did you catch the lion squirrel?" How many lion squirrels?"

Li Cha brewed a pot of fairy black tea and poured a cup for Morris.

Morris did not put on airs of being aristocratic in the royal capital, and thanked him very politely.

"A total of nineteen lion owls, thirteen of them are adults, and six are sub-adults."

Hearing the answer given by Li Cha, Morris nodded and thought to himself: "Nineteen lion squirrels are already a complete population. As long as you are willing to spend a certain amount of time and continuously invest resources, relying on this group of lion squirrels It is possible to breed an army of lion ducks."

"Viscount Li Cha, you must have already guessed the reason for my visit. Do you have any plans to trade with the capital?"

Li Cha took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "How is the capital going to trade?"

"Usually, the price of a lion squirrel is around [-] gold coins, but the price of a group of lion squirrels will be much more expensive. Let me explain to you here, the royal family is going to double the premium, and you can use the breathing method, Teng Hui Potions, gold coins, magic crystals, enchanted equipment, magic knowledge and other resource exchanges."

After listening to Morris's conditions, Li Cha secretly calculated: "The conditions given by the king's capital are quite fair. If you give up ten lion birds, you can exchange about [-] gold coins for resources. But the price of a complete set of breathing methods is equivalent to One hundred thousand gold coins, ten lion owls can only be exchanged for one set of breathing method, such an exchange price is a bit of a disadvantage."

In the military merit system of the Kingdom of Grant, one miraculous feat can be exchanged for a barony, and it can be exchanged for a complete breathing method, which adds up to about one miraculous feat.The breath method exchanged in the army also needs to sign a royal contract, and it cannot be taught to others in the first generation, which limits the speed of the spread of the breath method.

Ordinary baron nobles basically don't have a complete breathing method, and it is very rare for a fighter to be able to exchange to the tenth level and cultivate to the seventh level.
