Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 49 Lack of Talent

At the beginning, Kelun Si wasted no time and gave everything he had worked hard over the years to the lord, intending to use this to win a future. For this reason, he was already prepared for the whole family to endure hardships together.

But the lord soon gave him a beautiful villa, which was not only fully furnished and equipped with supplies, but also sent precious spices and rare ingredients in the North, and these were distributed regularly every month.

According to Lord Maya, this is the salary set by the Lord.

This was something unheard of for Corens, but the result was pretty good. Although he lost his territory and serfs, he got a fixed salary, and occasionally bonuses and rewards, so the family's quality of life was improved. On the contrary, it is better than before.

Moreover, Collens has found a goal here. The wife can dress herself up beautifully and take care of the children every day. She no longer needs to think about how to cook edible food with monotonous ingredients, nor does she need to think about whether it is more cost-effective to boil water for a bath that day. , not to mention whether the sudden appearance of wild beasts will hurt the children.

Seeing his wife holding a skirt and forcing her daughter, who was practicing swordplay in the backyard, to try on clothes, Corens became even more convinced that his original choice was right. Therefore, he must not give up any opportunity and must do his best to show his abilities. .

While Curranth was cheering himself up, Irving had already prepared the goods in the inner warehouse.

The territory's warehouse is divided into a public treasury and an inner treasury. The public treasury stores grain, seeds, farm tools and some weapons and equipment. Maya can transfer them at will, but the inner treasury cannot. Without Owen's approval note, not a single hair can be taken out, and it cannot be entered or exited. All are handled by system soldiers.

In fact, the inner treasury was Owen's cover for his exchange. Regardless of whether Maya suspected it or not, with the existence of the inner treasury and the secret passage, she could not determine the source of the territory's supplies. After all, Owen was too mysterious in many places.

As for why he did this, Owen didn't know. He just instinctively wanted to cover up his little secret. Anyway, it was idle, and wasn't it normal for a man to have his own little secret?

No matter how honest a couple is, they may tell each other about their first love, but have you ever seen the man share his seeds with his girlfriend, or the woman discussing the lengths with the man?

A large amount of goods were moved out of the deep underground warehouse, packed into boxes, and loaded onto the car. The same items were still the same: cloth, porcelain, salted fish, and iron pots.

Although these things are inconspicuous, they are hard currency in the North. They are more useful than gold and gems. At least it is difficult for you to exchange gold for anything from the barbarians in the North, but an iron pot can be taken away from his tent. Everything, including women.

The lords of the North are similar, and the situation becomes more and more the further north you go. It is often difficult to distinguish them from the savages, and in some places even caravans only come once a year or two, or even no caravans go at all. In this case, what would happen if they had a lot of gold in their hands, unless they were willing to risk returning to the place.

However, the status of a border noble cannot be changed to an imperial noble, so either go back to being a commoner or go back to be a businessman.

It seems that there is only a border line between the northern border nobles and the imperial nobles. In fact, the gap between the two sides is an insurmountable chasm, completely separated.

Therefore, even if the northern border nobles made a fortune, they would at most go to the border cities to enjoy themselves. They would rarely abandon everything and return to the empire, because those who did so would end badly.

The vast and sparsely populated Northland is fine, and there is no need to come all the way to get you, but when I return to the empire, I can't even say a word to do something with you.

It doesn't matter if you are poor. If you have a windfall in your hand, no one will want to go back if you don't want to do it.

Because a large number of serfs and large groups of livestock need to be purchased this time, the size of the convoy is much larger than last time, and of course there must be more soldiers responsible for guarding it, otherwise they will inevitably not be targeted.

On this trip, in addition to the cavalry team consisting of four scout cavalry, ten cuirassiers and ten horse archers, there were also twenty infantry archers, twenty spearmen, and twenty people responsible for repairing cars, cooking, and doing chores. militia.

These soldiers are enough to kill any border noble in the North, and can keep anyone who sees the convoy sane, and this is not all the troops in the territory.

Collens, who was well-dressed, looked at the elite cavalry and soldiers in front of him and his face turned red. Although he still behaved appropriately, he could not conceal his inner excitement.

He looked at the energetic soldiers in front of him with admiration. In comparison, the soldiers he had before were just a bunch of rubbish. This is the style that a noble should have. Corens was intoxicated at this moment, but soon he After coming back to his senses, he gave the order and set off with the convoy towards Mara Town.

It takes several days for the convoy to go back and forth. After all, the serfs need to recuperate along the way. This is what Irving ordered in advance, so they will not be able to come back in a short time.

After temporarily handling the matters at hand, Owen, who had nothing to do, originally wanted to go to the Buffalo Baron's territory to see the iron ore, but the cavalry had all left with the convoy, and it was obviously not safe to go now, so he changed his mind and took Charles with him to ride. I loaded up the Magic Sheep and went to the Magic Horn Forest.

Although the Demonic Horn Forest Wood Village has been exposed, it does not mean that Owen will give up running the place. After all, the construction of the territory is inseparable from timber, so the current Wood Village is more like a logging farm, and most of the surrendered troops have been converted into system soldiers. , the rest is transformed into farmers acting as lumberjacks here, cutting down a considerable number of trees every day, trimming them into lumber, stacking them in open spaces, waiting for the people in the territory to transport the lumber away.

It's just that there is a lack of a manager here, so everyone will only act according to Owen's previous orders. But the problem is that he himself is half a bucket of water, and his thinking is not thorough enough. It is inevitable that he will make some omissions, resulting in the wood village's felling efficiency not being very good. High, so Irving has been hesitant to redeem a talent from the system.

As for why he needs to redeem from the system, firstly, there is a lack of talent in the North, and secondly, there is a lack of the most basic trust. This makes Owen prefer people in the system who are 100% loyal to him. After all, regardless of good or bad, they are always better than outsiders. Trustworthy and loyalty is priceless.

In fact, Owen has always been very coveted for the famous generals and counselors in the Three Kingdoms, but has no interest in the famous generals and celebrities in the West, because he does not know who the other party is. Of course, if he can exchange Joan for it, he will not say anything.

It's a pity that the race and style are completely different from that of the world, and even the painting style is different. As a result, although the Three Kingdoms series has opened up a lot of games, the exchange value required is extremely high. Otherwise, Owen's soldiers will not be able to use the Age of Empires. The main types of troops are.

Ordinary soldiers are so expensive, let alone famous generals and counselors, but templates are cheaper and have fewer restrictions.

In this way, Irving can choose to compromise and only redeem the template instead of redeeming the entire Three Kingdoms generals.

This brings up a new problem. Not everyone can use the template. Insufficient abilities will only drag down the potential of the template. Otherwise, Owen would have exchanged the template for the ghost Lu Bu to open Wushuang.

From the fact that a strong man like the Teutonic Warrior has a force value of only fifty, we can see how powerful the real generals of the Three Kingdoms are. Owen's current upper limit of thirty points of progress value cannot even be exchanged for a first-class military commander template.

After all, the Three Kingdoms generals exchanged by Owen are from the game and are not real history. It is normal for the force value to explode, and a lot of progress value is naturally required.

In fact, because there are many games in the Three Kingdoms series, some of the upper limits are really ridiculously high, such as the ghost Lu Bu, unparalleled generals, immortals, mythical beasts, etc. It is not that simple, but this makes it more attractive, okay?
