Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 112 111. Loan
A month later, Ross had just returned from the Four Leaf Basin, and all the work was on track. When Ross thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Bruce came over with a sad face.

"My lord, I have to tell you some bad news. We have no more gold coins!" Bruce said while looking at Rose helplessly. Everyone in the town was too busy to touch the ground. Feel free to feed Xiao Qingyun.

"Ah, how many gold coins do we have now?" Ross asked in surprise.

Bruce rubbed his brows and began to report: "Although the sales of orc and beast materials, food, and medicinal materials have received a large amount of gold coins every year, rewarding soldiers, purchasing potions, weapons, armor, etc. also cost a lot.

Coupled with the fact that you spent nearly 60 gold coins at one time in Wellington City some time ago, and the recent purchase of tools and materials for construction, land reclamation, and tools for pharmacies, forging workshops and other handicraft workshops, etc., now Stan Town’s finances are completely complete. Empty, only 100 gold coins left. "

"100 gold coins?" Ross felt dizzy for a while. The consumption of personnel in Nuoda's Stanland is far more than 100 gold coins per day. In other words, the Stanland government is going to declare bankruptcy?

After all, they are still inexperienced. Ross and Bruce just thought that someone could build a territory, but they didn't expect that every place would use a lot of gold coins after it was fully launched. Only a large pile of shiny gold coins can completely pile up the villages and towns.

"How many gold coins do we need now? What do we have at the moment?" Ross asked, rubbing his brows.

"I have calculated carefully. If you follow your goal, all refugees will live in new houses before this winter, with basic warm clothes and food to satisfy their hunger, guards will be in place, and all visible handicraft workshops in Stan Town will be in accordance with the regulations. Construction of the highest standard. Construction tools and materials, clothes and quilts for refugees to keep out the cold, weapons and armor for guards, and necessary tools and materials for various workshops, etc., will cost about 200 million gold coins.

And this does not include the food consumed by the refugees, the meat and medicinal materials consumed by the guards. "Bru said quickly and clearly, obviously he had done enough homework in this area, but he also had a wry smile on his face when he said this number.

"200 million?!!!" Ross sat down on the ground without any image and sighed, "My God!" Xiao Qingyun looked at Ross with big watery purple eyes, and gently licked the back of his hand.

The guy who grew up in two small rural villages and used to spend money in copper coins was really surprised when faced with a figure like 200 million gold coins.

Ross sat on the ground, calculated a little bit, and moaned helplessly: "If you only rely on the 200 acres of farmland for 80 million gold coins, these refugees can only make up for it by working for me for 40 years for free!?"

"Huh?!" Bruce was stunned, completely unable to keep up with Rose's train of thought.

Ross didn't respond. Bruce rubbed his chin and thought for a while and asked: "Have those workshops started? Especially the pharmacy and forge shop, and Curry's blacksmith shop now has twenty or thirty blacksmiths. All the workshops in Stan Town Farm tools and ordinary weapons and armor can meet domestic needs. How many gold coins can be recovered from other outputs of the territory?"

"The pharmacy and the forging shop are undergoing final tests, and it is estimated that the first batch of potions and level weapons in Stan Town will be produced in three to five days." Bruce said in a rather excited tone: "And according to Mandela's instructions The existing licorice grass, moonshine grass, and other potions in Farstan Town have been refined for corresponding potions, and they have also given a list of auxiliary medicines. I have arranged for the druid Romus brothers and sisters to guide the medicine farmers to plant them.

The annual tax for grocery stores, bakeries, taverns, hotels, cloth shops, barrel workshops, pottery workshops, textile workshops, etc. plus the large amount of food and medicinal materials sold in the territory is about 6 gold coins.Of course, I didn't count the forging workshop and pharmacy. "

Ross rubbed the center of his brows in pain. Based on the number of residents of Stan Town, that is, each person created less than 4 Ming gold coins?Compared with the terrible prices in Wellington City, the productivity here is unbelievable.

Waving his hands helplessly, Ross continued to ask: "Can we borrow some gold coins or supplies from our Overwatch Alliance, or from Lannister and Pochtili?"

"Impossible. First of all, their knights were seriously damaged, and the gold coins needed to rebuild them are no less. Secondly, we built a village and town with 4 people at one time. This seems to them to be whimsical and idiotic. The gold coins invested are absolutely There is no return. So~~" Brow immediately refuted Ross's suggestion, it seems that he has considered or even done so.

Los habitually rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said: "Well, you should communicate with the pharmacists and blacksmiths as soon as possible, and then give me a list of supplies according to the scarcity and urgency. To solve the funding problem, you have to go to Wellington City again. Ah!" Thinking of the ridiculous oath made last time, Ross smiled helplessly, he couldn't do without going to Wellington City!
Bruce nodded, since the lord agreed, he would definitely be able to solve the funding problem, although he didn't know the method.

Three days later, Ross set off with Ruth's knight team.Six days later, Ross, who traveled day and night, arrived in Wellington smoothly.

In Sir Wilson's estate, Sir Wilson uses the best wine and seasonal food?Fruit received Ross, and after washing away all the dust and wine, Ross explained his intentions.

Sir Wilson opened his mouth wide and held back for a long time before he could utter any ironic words: "Oh! Great Goddess of Wisdom. I am shocked and ashamed by your ambition and generosity, Mr. Baron.

But does it really make sense to spend so much money on those untouchables?It is impossible for them to earn back these gold coins in their lifetime. "

Indeed, Sir Wilson and Rose's joking settlement with Bruce told the truth of this world, that is, the value that ordinary people in this world can create is too low.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, no lord is willing to spend gold coins to establish a simple countryside.Of course, it would be different if there was land that could grow potions, because the value created by planting potions was much higher than that of a village growing basic crops.For example, the original Stan Village exists because of Licorice Grass.

Ross smiled. His idea was very simple. Others believed that ordinary crops could not create enough value, but he didn't think so.This world is a world of magical battle qi, and only by applying these things to ordinary things, even a little bit, can exert great value.

With 200 catties of wheat per mu of land, nearly 20 mu of land can support one person.So, what about 2000 catties of wheat per mu? 20 mu of land can feed a family.All of this can be easily achieved with the help of druids, priests of the Temple of Agriculture, and pharmacists.Improving seeds, improving land, plus special agents for insect repellent, weed control, and fattening can be achieved even if it is doubled.

And with enough food, coupled with a huge population base, the number of fighters, magicians, druids, priests and other professionals will appear more, and the strength of the territory will be stronger.

Basically, all the lords did not think of or bothered to do this. The precious druids and pharmacists need to plant and provide enough potions for them to earn enough gold coins. How can they be wasted on cheap common crops? Woolen cloth?

"This is not the first time to be a noble or lord. I have no experience! Seeing those wandering refugees pitifully want to give them a foothold, I didn't expect~~" Rose pretended to smile bitterly and said: "It's already like this now Yes. As the first decision of the new lord, I can't easily break my promise. Therefore, I need your assistance."

"Hey!" Wilson was also the first real nobleman, so he naturally understood what Ross said, and said pitifully, "Dear master, you also know that my family paid half of the property for this title and fief, and now we I also need to build the territory and the funds are not too rich. Of course, as your servant, I will definitely do my best to help you. You see~~"

Even if a slave who can control life and death is not an unconscious puppet, he will definitely not think about you wholeheartedly. This is the law.

Ross did not express dissatisfaction with Wilson's hint, and said with a smile: "I will not make things difficult for you. According to the normal loan transaction between nobles, I hope to loan 200 million gold coins from you!"

"200 million!" Wilson exclaimed, then looked at Los's serious expression and quickly calculated, and finally said in a difficult way: "Dear master, you also know the situation of my family. I can only lend you 100 million gold coins at most , and return 2% of the interest in five years, and return 3% of the interest in ten years."

"That's 100 million, and it will be returned in 10 years." Los said quickly, then took out a list and handed it to Wilson with a smile: "You also know that my territory is remote and the materials are in short supply. As a partner, these materials are used as Give me the headlining of this transaction!"
