Lord of Rot

Chapter 301 An Upright Knight Is More Trustworthy
Knock knock, the door is knocked lightly.

The door of the chamber was always open.

Li Qi and Lacey looked up at the door at the same time, with a smile on the face of Hay with a big belly: "Good night, my lord!"

"You came just in time." Li Qi waved his hand: "How is the food situation?"

"It can last up to half a month."

"Well, half a month... the food should have been delivered." He nodded slightly: "You did a good job."

Dry grass immediately said: "It is the blessing of the four gods, and it is your glory that guides me, my lord!"

Li Qi smiled, he didn't mind the other party flattering him, as long as he could do good things.

He looked at the paper tube in the hay.

"My lord!" Hay opened the paper tube as soon as Li Qi's eyes moved to the paper tube, and brought it to Li Qi: "This is my calculation."

"So fast?" Li Qi glanced at the hay.

This fat steward is different from Ge Lan with the porcupine collar. Ge Lan is a serious and thoughtful type. His work efficiency is not very high and many things need to be decided by Li Qi himself.

But hay is faster and quicker. Although it can't be as fine as Glenn, it can always meet Li Qi's requirements.

This is also the reason why Li Qi has been reusing each other.

"I'll let you find someone who is willing to work." Li Qi glanced down and said, "I'm not forcing everyone to work for me."

Li Qi is well versed in the truth that twisted melons are not sweet, and he is not afraid that some people will not follow him. Everyone will get benefits, but everyone will not get benefits. It's more meaningful than everyone being ordered to work with their heads down.

But Hay said: "If you can delay the delivery of food by half a month, I think they will take the initiative to work for you."

"You mean to fool the people who work for me and defraud me of their labor?" Li Qi looked at the hay coldly.

Lacey Heath, who was on the side, had long disliked the hay, and now he almost waited for Li Qi's order to kick it over, kicking that fat belly that was getting plump.

"No, my lord!" Hay immediately shook his head, the meat on his cheeks and shaking ears collided and slapped: "It's not a scam, but a stable market, maybe you don't know what happened recently, because you quickly saved Iron Valley , the road to the outside is opened every day, and some people are deliberately reducing their consumption of food stamps. At this time, a large amount of food entering will not make the market better, but will make some people choose not to work anymore, because they have There are enough food stamps to eat for a long time without working.”

Printing a large number of food stamps is also a helpless move. Some people have to be paid for work. Food prices soared during the war, but after the war ended and contact with the outside world was re-established, the price of food was bound to drop rapidly.

Some people held food stamps in their hands.

There are only two methods left for Li Qi, one is to abolish the food stamps directly, declaring that the food stamps lose their purchase value.

The consequences of doing so will inevitably arouse public outrage.

The second is to make people willingly spend most of the food stamps.

"Iron Valley needs to be built as soon as possible." Li Qi said: "I can't let them work hungry."

"No one will go hungry, my lord!" Hay smiled, and he knew that Li Qi agreed with his approach.

"At the end of May, the food will be delivered."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord!"

The hay left quickly, and before he had gone far, Lacey said angrily: "My lord, hay sells food stamps privately, and the hoarding of a large number of food stamps is inseparable from him!"

Li Qi shook his head slightly: "Although he took part of the profits, all the food stamps he sold were sent to me."

It's not that he doesn't know that the fat steward hay is eating the benefits, but the other party is very smart, and only takes a small amount of money, and sends most of the benefits to Li Qi.

Just like how Li Qi develops and accumulates money, Hayao's approach is to lower the price of food stamps in his hand and let people spend money to buy them.

In order to buy more food, the people in Iron Wall Fortress naturally emptied their homes one by one.

It is also with this money that Li Qi can find Mrs. Jielin to buy food, and even support the subsequent development for a short period of time.

"Okay Lacey," Li Qi said: "Iron Valley is a mess now, riddled with holes. If we want to restore it quickly, we must appoint some talented people. If you can help me find some people when I go to Donggang City With a helper, I don’t need to rush to the doctor like I am now.”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have a good relationship with some jazz."

Li Qi said very seriously: "I am very relieved of you!"

The real villain hay is easy to use and can make money, but if it is said that it is safe to reuse it, it must be an honest person like Lacey.

The writing of Iron Valley Development Plan (Phase I) is not over yet.

Because of the war, Iron Wall Fort became a place of refuge for people, but those dilapidated wooden houses on the training ground and shacks occupying the main road did not belong here.

In addition to the small number of people he plans to select will be sent to three villages in succession, building a small trading town not far from Iron Wall Castle is also a top priority.

"It's not about getting people to make more money, it's about getting them to spend it."

Otherwise, the money is held in his hands just to eat and drink enough, just like there are too many food stamps now, and in the end it will become Li Qi to support a group of people, and his territory does not need people to lie down for the time being.

There must be a trading place to stimulate consumption.

"Dig the tunnel!"

He has had this idea for a long time, and now he plans to put the digging in the first phase of planning.

Only by digging a tunnel with a not-so-steep slope from outside the Iron Wall Fort to the seaside under the cliff can we make the most of Iron Valley's advantage of being close to the sea.

After the road is cleared, repairing the pier, watchtower, etc. are all trivial matters that will come naturally.

"However, this is a large amount of work. Although the Iron Wall Fortress is next to the cliff, the shortest part is 50 meters away from the sea...The arc-shaped spiral tunnel should be able to shorten the distance."

The only problem is the manpower to dig the tunnels.

"Let's count it first. When we go back to the porcupine collar this time, let Betty and Thomas scholars study it. Maybe there is a better way."

Fire oil mine is a good thing, maybe Betty can develop something.

It doesn't matter if you can't research it, because Li Qi has the alchemy method about "fire and water" in his hand.

After all the miscellaneous items were transcribed, Li Qi chatted with Lacey about the training of the local militia.

The soldiers trained by Iron Valley people are also porcupine soldiers.

The equipment problem is easy to solve, and the Porcupine has a fairly complete hydraulic forging hammer assembly line.

"Let's train 300 people for the first batch," Li Qi said, "Then increase the number depending on the situation. The Porcupine Collar still needs soldiers, so it's impossible to stay here forever."

……

A raven set off from the monkey collar and flew to Longship Castle.

Guy, who brought the extraordinary ghoul rabbit back to Longship Castle non-stop, didn't stop. Even though he was dead, he wouldn't get tired.

At the door of Mrs. Jielin's room, her sister Yilin stopped the two of them.

"he is?"

"rabbit"

Erin frowned slightly. Since Guy Marvin followed Baron Porcupine, his behavior has become very weird. It's not the strange smell on his body, but that he has changed from a smooth talker to a stingy one. gold people.

"Baron Porcupine asked you to bring him?"

"He is also loyal to Master Li Qi." Guy said, "I want to go in."

"No!" Erin shook her head: "Madam has already rested, her body is very weak."

Guy said, "I have news from your lordship."

"Irene, let Sir Guy come in." Mrs. Jielin's voice came from the room.

Erin opened the door decisively: "Please come in."

At this time, Mrs. Jielin was lying on the bed with her big belly, and asked anxiously, "How is he?"

Although she had heard that Baron Porcupine killed the city wall and occupied Iron Wall Fort, she was still a little worried.

"Win." Guy didn't say much, let alone the existence of the vine corpse, and his answer was very vague.

She breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked her stomach.

"My lord asked me to send you a message." Guy said, "He will definitely come when you give birth."

Madam Jelin smiled.

The two have no feelings, but they have a child again. It is just a transaction, but she is pregnant and hopes that there is more than just a transaction between the two.

Judging by Baron Porcupine's attitude, he didn't intend to treat it as a deal, which made her feel good.

"But there is bad news," Gay said, "Nils' team was wiped out."

In fact, some of them were left in the monastery of Iron Valley, soaked in magic preservatives, but when Li Qi didn't plan to use them, they had better be wiped out.

"The monkey leader should make some moves, my lord hopes that you will prepare in advance."

Mrs. Jielin's expression remained unchanged, she said: "I have been preparing."

Last year's illegitimate child incident almost drove her away from the castle, and the monkey family, one of the masterminds behind the scenes, had long been hated by her.

"Does he still need help?"

"Iron Valley needs to buy a batch of grain."

"Go and find Erin."

After a few more brief conversations, Mrs. Jielin, who was in poor condition, took the initiative to end the chat.

She lay on the bed and let herself go, no one knew what she was thinking.

After returning to the room, Guy immediately wrote a letter and flew straight to Hillhand Castle through Raven.

Now all he has to do is procrastinate, which is also the only task Li Qi gives, and even for this Li Qi throws out a big pie that he may not be able to refuse based on the situation of the monkey baron Wells Bill.

……

Hill Palm Fort.

"Uh--!"

With his head raised, Wells Bill opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath and forced himself to wake up.

"Huh?" Looking at the figure standing in front of the bed, he was a little surprised.

"It's me, father." La Bill nodded quickly.

Wells said: "Oh, sorry, my body is getting worse every day, and I can wake up less and less every day."

His voice is very old, but his language logic is fine, which shows that his consciousness is very clear.

"I'll keep you alive longer," Ra said.

Although he himself did not believe that Wells could live longer, recently Wells began to be constipated. The pharmacist said that he was caused by intestinal blockage and suggested bloodletting treatment.

But he was forcibly stopped by La. When he helped his father into the wheelchair last time, he found that he was too light.

The skin on the legs is loose without much flesh.

Picking him up is like picking up a bunch of bones that haven't fallen apart.

This body can't bleed at all.

"Everyone is mortal"

Wells was very indifferent: "I guess you must have brought news, and it has something to do with Guy?"

"Yes." La nodded: "Guy explained to us why he gave up guarding Longship Fort and rushed directly to Iron Valley."

With that said, La delivered the letter to his father.

"Don't give it to me." Wells shook his head slightly: "My eyes can't see clearly, so you should just say it."

"Yes, Father." He nodded and said, "Guy said that he learned that Baron Porcupine went to Iron Valley to find the longevity herb for the Duke."

It turned out that Wells, whose eyeballs were cloudy and dim, lifted his loose eyelids with great effort. This news really attracted him.

Ra continued: "And he found it!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Wells panted heavily, trying to calm himself down.

Seeing that he was having difficulty breathing, La immediately walked over and raised his hand to gently pat his father's back. He was afraid that he would accidentally break his father's back bones, and the fragile feedback made him a little scared.

"Guy said that he had already had contact with Baron Porcupine, who was like an old porcupine, a greedy and reckless man."

"Do you believe it?" Wells asked back: "A baron who has acquired two territories would be a reckless man?"

"But that's Iron Valley," said Ra. "We've had countless chances to claim that territory, but we've never made a move."

His words represented his attitude, he believed in Guy!

Only a fool would want a place where the birds don't shit.

"Ahem!" Wells began to cough violently, and when he calmed down again, Wells said, "What do you plan to do?"

La said: "I would like to have a friendly chat with Baron Porcupine, maybe I can get you a potion of longevity."

"Everyone is mortal, and the real wise man is to recognize this matter."

"But I want to try it for you" La said very seriously.

"It seems that I can't refuse my son's filial piety." Wells looked at his son and nodded in agreement: "Remember, a wise man is kind."

"Yes, Father!"

When La left the room and closed the door, the expression on his face became very serious.

Potion of longevity?It doesn't make any sense at all, and it can't exist!

If there is such a magical thing, there should be a group of immortals in Tiegu, but the fact is completely opposite. Most of the people in Tiegu are young, and the elderly are almost dead.

So far, there has never been a person who can obtain permanent life in the world.

There are two reasons why La had to choose to stand by Guy's side and speak well for him, and it was the reason why La didn't tell his father.

First, Guy made it very clear in his letter that Nils and those two hundred elite soldiers are now his strength.

"His damned succubus ability, maybe it really has an effect on men." Ra was very afraid of Guy's ability, so after reading the content of the letter, he thought about it, and then believed it.

Second, Ra's brother Dryden found the fabled crown.

It is said that after wearing the crown, one can become a king.

Since the opponent intends to become the king, he will definitely not ignore the great advantage of the monkey collar.

As long as Dryden becomes the Baron of the Monkey Land, he can easily obtain a powerful territory and a group of powerful warriors.

Now he is the one standing in the way of the other party becoming a Baron.

As for why he led the team away from Shuijiandi and went to Iron Valley, it may be that Guy deliberately showed his friendship with Baron Porcupine, or it may be other reasons. Not pushing him towards his own ambitious brother Dryden.
