King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 132 A Profitable Business
Winter Fortress.

On the plain outside the fortress, carriages came one after another, continuously.From a distance, these carriages lined up in a long column.

This scene quickly attracted Sherlock's attention. He walked quickly to the front of the fort, and asked the guard at the door, "Why are there so many carriages today?"

But wanting to ask if there is any news that doesn't cost money, the guard subconsciously reached out to ask for money, but when he turned around, he found that it was Sherlock the miser, and cursed secretly.

After all, the guards of the entire Cold Winter Fortress knew that it would be easier to beat Sherlock if they wanted to pay him.

He was too lazy to answer, but he was afraid of being entangled by this miser, so he could only explain: "They are here to redeem the fief knights led by the silver fox."

"So many? There must be thousands of carriages." Sherlock stared intently at the group of carriages ahead.

"Thousands? Ha ha." The guard said proudly: "Our lord baron said, a knight has a hundred horses, and we have captured hundreds of knights. Calculate how many carriages you have."

"Ah! One hundred cars per person, it's more profitable than stealing money." Sherlock couldn't help jumping up, and he continued with envy, "It would be great if I could share a few hundred cars."

"Go away, don't dream here." The guard glanced at the guard next to Sherlock, and said, "Do you think who is your guard Jesse? Not to mention that you can't earn a penny, and you have to work to earn money for him." You, to be honest, he is not as good as the serfs in our Winter Fortress."

"Come on, Jesse, give everyone a laugh."

"Woooooo!"

Jesse, who was following Sherlock, couldn't bear it anymore, and even the gatekeeper felt sorry for him.

Thinking of him before, he was also a heroic warrior who captured the tauren, alas!

Under Sherlock's watchful eye, the carriage slowly stopped around Winter Fortress.Then the owners of these carriages stepped into Winter Fortress.

Sherlock stared at them until they disappeared at the end of the street.

Noxus mansion.

Old Mark came in and reported: "Young master, the silver fox leader has come to redeem the knight."

Charles put down the document in his hand, looked at old Mark, and asked, "Is it someone sent by the Baron Silver Fox or the knight leader?"

"It's people sent by various knight leaders, and their envoys are already waiting in the hall." Old Mark paused, and continued to ask: "Master, do you want to see them?"

"No, they are also worthy. If the Baron Silver Fox comes in person, he can make a living." Charles coldly ordered: "Take their food, release the feudal knights and retinue knights they want to buy, and send more They are several retinue knights."

If all the feudal knights are redeemed, there is no need for the retinue knights to stay, so it is better to deal with them cheaply.

"Yes, master." Old Mark seemed to have seen Shire's plan, and couldn't help asking: "Master, your intention to divide them is so obvious in doing this, I don't think they will be fooled."

Charles chuckled, but didn't speak.

Judging from his dealings with Baron Silver Fox in the past few years, he is a qualified nobleman, despicable, greedy, hypocritical, and shameless.

Then formulate a specific strategy based on his character. Now the land area of ​​the Silver Fox Territory Knights has surpassed that of the Silver Fox Family. This is a conflict of interest between them.

Either expand externally, or reduce the vassal internally.

If the Silver Fox Baron or the Silver Fox Family were to be regarded as enemies, then the feudal knights led by the Silver Fox could also be united to some extent.

Charles didn't need them to get cold feet, and in fact he couldn't.But he can sow the seeds of suspicion on both sides.

So what if it is upright, even if both of them know it well.

Are the fief knights willing to give up their fief?
Or is Baron Silver Fox willing to let the feudal knights continue to expand their territory?
Afterwards, Charles changed the subject and asked, "Is there any news about Earl Tulip's eldest daughter?"

"No, Abdekad and Henry have searched all the areas around Cold Winter Fortress, but they still haven't found it." Old Mark shook his head and continued: "However, I have already found a maid for you. Now you want Do you want to see it?"

When he said this, Old Mark's tone rose involuntarily, and he continued: "Master, I will pick out ten maids for you, and you can see which one is suitable to be your personal maid."

"Wait for a few more days, when the things that happened in the past few days have been dealt with and I'm free, I'll choose another one."

"Master, I haven't seen you idle since autumn." Old Mark couldn't help complaining.

Seeing the aggrieved look of the old Emperor Mark who was not in a hurry with the eunuch, Charles couldn't help but smiled, and explained, "I promise, this is the last time. We may not find the eldest daughter of Earl Tulip, but we must not let Silver Fox The baron found it, wait until I take someone to search the river valley and plain, and then choose a personal maid."

"Master, that's what you said."

Seeing that Old Mark was dubious, Charles continued to explain: "Look at when I have never kept my word."

Old Mark thought about it again, since the young master took power, no matter the major events or news, he has never violated his promise.Now, he was relieved.

"Master, I will let them get familiar with the situation in the mansion first during these times."

Charles gave a "hmm" and instructed: "These maids must search carefully, and don't let spies from other families sneak in."

"Yes, sir."

Just as the two were talking without saying a word, a guard suddenly opened the door and walked in.

"My lord, the centaur Peter is back."

"Oh! Invite him here."

The old Mark on the side saw that he had nothing to do, so he planned to go back and check the maid again, so he left with an excuse.

After a while, the centaur Peter walked into the study. As soon as he came in, he looked at Baron Charles who was sitting on the study. His tears came down and he cried, "Master Baron, I almost returned I won’t come. During this time, Priest Ali Hawu of the Flying Claw tribe suspected me, chief Walter suspected me, and captain Likas rejected me. Every day I have to fight hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the Silver Fox family. will die on the battlefield."

A few black lines could not help appearing on Charles' forehead. Peter has indeed improved a lot during this period, such as acting skills. Now he can cry when he wants to cry, but Charles also knows his hard work. Said: "The Bilair Fang tribe has surrendered to me. After a while, I plan to form the third Noxus Corps, and you are the leader of the Corps."

After saying this, Peter's tears stopped instantly, "Thank you Baron."

Charles asked again: "Why are you back? Did something happen?"

"Lord Baron, Priest Alihau wants to make a deal with you." Peter replied, taking out a letter and handing it to Charles.

"Priest Ali Hawu traded with me?" Charles wondered, what kind of deal did he take?population?What do you want to trade?food?ordnance?
After reading the letter, Charles finally understood what Priest Alihau wanted to trade with him?
Trade Faith with him with a human slave from Silver Fox.

100 human slaves are traded for a gallon of golden Faith.

Is it worth it?According to Shire's cognition, this is definitely a profit from grandma's house. One gallon of golden faith can be exchanged for 100 people, and one hundred gallons is 1 people.If everyone traded with him at this price, what else would he go out to grab?Two hundred faith points will do it.

However, he didn't know the market price of this faith value, so Charles waved his hand and asked someone to call Charles over.

After a while, Charles also came to the study, "Master Baron, what do you want me to do?"

"Charles, a gallon of faith is worth 100 human slaves, is it worth it?"

"Lord Baron, who is dreaming, actually wanting to use cheap slaves to buy faith points, this is treating you like a fool."

"Huh?" Charles didn't understand. Faith value is provided by people. These 100 people can produce food, silk fabrics, and faith value. Why is this not worth it?

Seeing that Charles didn't understand, Charles began to explain: "Master Baron, with all due respect, serfs can be seen everywhere. In the south of your Kingdom of Sisinoa, even a baron like you has a random population of 10 in his territory. And serfs are like weeds, they can be regenerated when they are gone, even if a gallon of faith value buys 1000 slaves, no priest of light will do that.”

"The slaves are ignorant and weak in spirit. The belief values ​​they can produce are not many, and there are too many magazines in these belief values, which are mixed with too much of their personal will. They need extremely cumbersome purification before they can get pale gold. faith value."

"The value of faith is extremely precious, and whether it is a holy light priest or an orc priest, if they want to become stronger, advance, and cultivate, they all need faith points. And the casting of spells is inseparable from it."

Charles understood, but his point of view remained unchanged. A gallon of faith was worth 100 human slaves, earned by blood.

Bright priests don't do this because they have no shortage of serfs.

The Guangming Church is in the south, the climate is mild and rainy, the wheat can be harvested two to three times a year, there is a lot of food, and there are also many serfs.

But here is the Winter Fortress, and the population is scarce.

But the value of faith is so precious, so the quotation cannot be based on that of Priest Ali Hawu of the Flying Claw Tribe.

If it's hard to estimate the price, just cut it in half.

Charles looked at the centaur Peter and said, "Go back and tell the priest of the Flying Claw tribe that if a gallon of beast god faith is worth 200 human slaves, then I agree."

The centaur Peter nodded, and then added: "My lord, but when Priest Arihau told me, he said that the minimum is 300 people for a gallon of faith. You gave it a bit high."

Xia Er is numb, he is still too kind.

"How many human slaves are there in the Flying Claw tribe?"

"Lord Baron, there are more than 5000 people, but the number is increasing at any time."

Charles took out the holy staff and swept the letter sent by Priest Alihau, and then a holy light shrouded the letter.

"This is the faith value of five gallons, so let's use it as a deposit first."

Afterwards, Charles swept across the centaur Peter, and there was a faint halo of light echoing behind Peter, and then Shire's holy staff shone brighter and covered Peter's back, forming a new circle of light.

"Lord Baron, what is this?" The centaur Peter stretched out his hand to touch his back, feeling warm.

"Not long after you entered the Flying Claw Tribe, you are not wondering why Alihau sent you here alone." Charles then explained, "This aperture was cast by Priest Alihau to record everything that is happening now. .”

"That!" The centaur Peter became a little flustered. He arrived at Cold Winter Fortress, but he met his family first. Priest Alihau would not have noticed this.

Charles saw his doubts, and explained: "Don't worry, I've edited all the scenes you exposed, and Alihau won't doubt it."

"How did you manage to do this?" Charles said in shock.

"He is the Lord of the gods. As his favored person, shouldn't I manipulate the magic of the little orc priest?" Charles put away the holy staff, and then added coldly, "As for your previous words, I strongly disagree. All faith values ​​are produced by believers, and the foundation of believers lies in the largest number of serfs. It is worth exchanging faith points for serfs.”

……

The gate of the fortress of Winter Fortress.

Many feudal knights, including Knight Claude, led a group of retinue knights out of the dungeon and came to the gate of the fortress.Next, they will step out of Winterhold and regain their freedom.

All the knights were redeemed, and Claude counted them. There were more than 300 people in total, but only tens of thousands of carts of food were spent.

There are many retinue knights who don't need to spend food, so the Noxus family released them for nothing, just to let the retinue knights count their kindness to their fief knights.

But this is so obvious that even ordinary feudal knights can see it, let alone Baron Silver Fox.

It is wishful thinking to use such a simple trick to divide them.

But this is exactly the same as Claude's impression of them. Noxus is a group of robbers. They are really powerful in fighting and robbing, but they really can't play tricks.It is far worse than Baron Silver Fox.

But Noxus was too greedy, and their horses, armor, and weapons were all pulled out by them.

Fortunately, their family had already thought of this when they came, and they had prepared enough extra horses.

So Claude waved his horsewhip and led the team back to Silver Fox.

They walked very fast along the way, and Noxus did not engage in the game of letting go and catching again.

They returned to Silver Fox Town in just ten days.

But when Claude stepped into Silver Fox Town, he found that the town was much depressed, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, just like the previous Winter Fortress.

This desolate and cold atmosphere couldn't help but make Claude feel down.

At this time, the envoy of the Baron Silver Fox also sent someone, "Cnight Commander Claude, the baron please go to the castle."

"Oh! I'm going right away." Claude turned and walked towards the castle. When he walked, the nail leaves on his body made a crisp sound of collision.

This is a very new piece of armor. As the commander of the silver fox collar, he naturally has more than one pair of armor.But this new armor is far from the previous armor, and it is uncomfortable to pass it on, so Claude had to adjust it first.

The messenger suddenly said: "Chief Knight, Your Excellency the Baron wants you to wear casual clothes."

"Casual clothes?" Claude asked back.
