Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 12 The Future
Butler Vincent didn't get an answer in the end, but based on his many years of business experience, 80% of the investment was wasted.
However, Derek was not from the business, so he had no right to interfere.
On the contrary, such a young knight with sufficient military power should have a good relationship.
The caravan stayed for two days, purchased a large number of furs, and then returned.
The way back was slightly different.
Butler Vincent bought various materials while walking, and he wanted to pile the carriages as high as a mountain.
Seeing the horses pulling the carriages so hard, Derek felt distressed.
Sure enough, capital is bloody no matter in which world.
The only difference is that they are the objects of exploitation.
Derek can only tell himself to exploit others and not be exploited by others.
Near the City of Watch, another happy event happened.
The horse of the knight's squire Simon also joined the panel and was soon upgraded to ordinary quality.
It is no exaggeration to say that the price difference between the two is at least three gold coins.
Huge profits are secondary. Having a source of war horses is the most important thing.
Fully armed heavy cavalry is a decisive force in this era of backward fighting methods, just like nuclear weapons.
And this is inseparable from excellent war horses.
After returning to the city to hand over the task, he recorded it in the tavern where he took the task, which was considered a record.
In the future, if a caravan wants to hire Derek, this is a reference. If he is particularly good, he can even get more money.
For example, this time, Manager Vincent took out two gold coins as a reward.
After the handover, Derek returned to the base.
Limited training, coupled with higher and higher levels, the level of the remaining spearmen has been improved very little.
However, the three blacksmiths have become more and more skilled, and Little Tru can even forge a relatively high-quality iron sword independently.
While accumulating strength, Derek took on some small tasks in the surrounding area and let the spearmen go out for training separately.
After a period of time, he has made a little reputation.
The mercenary circle of Watch City knows that a group of fierce people have come, and they have a good reputation.
The more money you make, the more you earn.
The more powerful you become.
But Derek still feels anxious and always has a sense of urgency.
Without land and population, a seemingly good business will eventually have an upper limit.
For example, the Barony of Ferreira has only four or five thousand people in the entire territory. Can he recruit soldiers without limit?
The same is true for other noble territories. Don't even think about recruiting soldiers at will.
Moreover, most free people have their own land and industry and will not come to serve as soldiers.
Without land and industry, they are all nobles' subjects, and even their mobility is restricted.
Not to mention farming and animal husbandry, which are completely means of production.
In this feudal society, the upper limit has been locked. Even if you want to work hard, you can't break through the blockade.
Unless you break the class, you can continue to grow.
And now, the output of the three blacksmiths can barely cover it. If you really want to expand your business, you will be eaten up sooner or later without a strong backer.
Derek knows the habits of the nobles very well and will not take risks.
And maintaining the status quo seems to be good.
A miniature manor in the northern province is about 5,000 gold coins.
If he works hard for fifty years, he can save up one.
For people of this era, it is very good to leave such a fortune to their descendants and family in their lifetime.
You see, the Perez family has only saved two micro-manors in these years, which is still well managed.
Derek should be satisfied.
Satisfied ass, Derek will not be satisfied with this.
Traveling through time once, holding the golden finger, and living a lifetime?
And if there is an accident in the middle, he may not live for fifty years.
This world cannot give him a sense of security.
Unless, he controls his destiny in his own hands.
And some small wars may have a chance, but Derek is unwilling.
The politics of the kingdom is a typical dual monarchy.
The feudal lord and the king.
The nobles under the name of the king need to fulfill their obligations to the king, but they are relatively free.
And those who are canonized by other great nobles may continue to serve in the kingdom, but they have almost no political freedom.
The position of the feudal lord is your position.
Unless the feudal lord rebels, you can hardly refuse some of his requests.
And precisely, most of the political resources of the kingdom are still in the hands of the king.
Even your descendants will be driven by the descendants of the other party.
It is difficult and limited to break the class and master the power by relying on the great nobles.
The best way is to go to the capital to master the core resources of the kingdom.
However, the Ferreira family is just a country noble. There is no political resource for him to become an official of the kingdom, and it is not his turn to enjoy it.
This kind of political resource is only available to the great nobles and the royal family.
So, it fell into a vicious circle.
Unless a large-scale war occurs, military merits are awarded, and then enter the king's vision, then it is also necessary to fight for power and resources a little bit.
What Derek is waiting for is the war of the northern barbarians. The barbarians who rose in the north once took advantage of the division of the kingdom to occupy a lot of the kingdom's land.
As the kingdom recovers its national strength, it will sooner or later launch a war of recovery.
This is the cognition of knowledgeable people, but this day may be tomorrow, or it may be ten or twenty years later.
Derek once thought he could wait, but now he finds that... he has no patience.
Of course, all the impatience comes from the intentional or unintentional prying eyes around.
A business with an annual output value of more than 100 gold coins, and an arms business, many people are jealous.
It is the title of knight, plus the family deterrence behind Derek, and even his own military force, that makes the greedy eyes leave for the time being.
However, if the scale is expanded, it will also cause greed.
Even the first person to take action may be his backer, Baron Ferreira.
Yes, what is the father-son relationship in front of the family's interests?
A business that can occupy several percent of the family's income,
In the final analysis, Derek underestimated the value of a qualified blacksmith.
Why is the blacksmith valuable?
Smelting technology, forging technology, these things are very precious in this era.
Most blacksmiths rely purely on feelings and experience to create high-quality weapons.
So it is scarce and has extremely high profits.
Even inheritance is very cautious and conservative.
Only a few forces that have summarized advanced technology have monopolized this industry.
The existence of the panel is simply a cheat, which directly turns luck into a necessity.
Every blacksmith can become a talent as long as time passes.
What a power that makes people jealous?
After Derek realized this, he didn't even dare to add more points.
However, he had a fire in his heart, and he always had to find a place away from everyone's sight and make full use of the power of the panel.
He believed that he only needed one opportunity to quickly step onto the stage of history.
And he already had a goal.
