Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 24 Fat
Two miniature manors, priced at 10,000 gold coins.
This price is low, because the value of the serfs in the manor is not included in the value of the land.
This is the Baron's care for Derek.
And this decision made the other brothers look strange.
No one is sure whether this is the Baron's excuse. Maybe the inheritance will be in suspense?
The Baron will naturally not give others illusions.
"Derrick, I want to know what kind of return you can give to the family?"
"Warhorses, weapons, armor, the cheapest price, the first priority to buy.
And after I get my own fiefdom, the manor will be returned to the family."
"Not enough, not enough."
"Then let the eldest brother bring the soldiers to train with me, I guarantee that I can train a group of elites."
"It seems that you are very confident in training soldiers? But the soldiers under your command are really good."
The baron agreed, and he took the opportunity to express his attitude. This is just a special deal.
Although it cannot completely dispel doubts, it can also stabilize people's hearts.
"Sergei, you need to work harder. I will find some connections for you and try to get promoted as soon as possible."
The baron is ready to use resources to help his second son, otherwise the low-level officers will only be cannon fodder in the war.
"I can provide a little help. I believe the Iron Lion Corps will not refuse a batch of cheap weapons." Derek interrupted.
"Sherif, complete the knight training as soon as possible, and then go to your third brother."
The baron made plans for the fourth son again.
"Big brother, you should be prepared to exercise. Even if you can't fight in the battlefield, you must be able to stabilize the family foundation. Go to the third brother and practice well."
After several generations of inheritance, the Ferreira generation has begun to transform from a pure military noble, so the eldest brother Marco is more like a kingdom noble.
The Ferreira family quickly adjusted its strategy and actively responded to the upcoming war.
This is just a microcosm. The baron will increase the adjustment next.
Draw soldiers, intensify training, and make various plans.
The Ferreira family cannot get first-hand information about the kingdom, so they can only prepare in advance.
After the New Year, Derek quickly took over the family's manor.
The first thing he did was to recruit soldiers.
Then he started to build and expand the manor.
Various facilities, and even enclosed a piece of land for horse breeding after obtaining consent.
He even gave up the profit-maximizing serfdom business model and recruited free people in an open and aboveboard manner to try to expand the population.
On the other hand, he transferred some people back to build a new base.
Stockpiled supplies, population, and equipment.
Derek almost never stopped, handling affairs while training soldiers.
Fortunately, the trained knight attendants played a role.
They could train soldiers on his behalf and go out to do business.
With the support of Baron Ferreira, he could mobilize more resources.
Two months later, Derek suddenly received news from Lloyd that a large slave-hunting team was about to pass through the North.
The slave-hunting team needed to pass through the mountain trails, and sent people to the front in advance, which gave Derek an opportunity.
Derek mobilized almost all the soldiers and quickly rushed to the mountain base.
Lloyd was waiting early.
"My friend, please tell me about the situation."
"This slave-hunting team has passed through here five times, each time with a larger scale.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the brothers who contacted said that they heard the accent of the Holy Cross Kingdom.
Although I collect tolls, this route is also the safest, so they have recently changed to our side.
This time, they also gave us a heads-up in advance and said they would pass by."
It has passed five times in less than a year, which shows that these people are doing a big business.
"Is it possible to buy it with extra money?"
"No, I heard that it is the goods of a big shot. The slave-hunting team seems to be on the buyer's side and is very cautious."
"Big shot? They have contact with the Holy Cross Kingdom. They probably forgot about the secession war. The shame of the barbarians has not been washed away, and the divided land cannot be recovered."
Derrick sneered. This business is shameful.
Although the slave trade is legal, this batch is likely to be problematic.
What good can come from sending it to the Holy Cross Kingdom?
During the secession war, the Holy United Kingdom was divided into three parts, and the overlord of the southern part of the continent was divided. They attacked each other and their strength was greatly damaged.
It was also at this time that the barbarians from the north invaded and seized a large area of land, which has lasted until today.
The Kingdom of the Holy Cross borders the northern province, but they also have a common enemy, the barbarians.
However, after the secession war, both sides wanted to kill each other.
Compared with the war with the barbarians, there were more fights.
It was only in recent years that things have calmed down a bit, and some people even dared to sell people to the Kingdom of the Holy Cross.
Obviously, these people did not come from a legitimate source.
After Derek's analysis, he was not afraid that the other party would cause trouble for him.
What can a noble far away in the central or even southern regions do to him? What's more, it may not be able to find him.
"We will eat this piece of fat meat."
Derek made a decision quickly.
Lloyd regretted it a little. Although the two had a close relationship, all this today was inseparable from Derek's support.
But rashly breaking the rules and eating this piece of fat meat will definitely affect his reputation.
Without reputation, there will be no business.
If the people behind the other party hate him again, it may be a big trouble at any time.
"Derek, should we discuss it with the other party again, maybe we can buy it."
Derek stared at Lloyd, who couldn't stand it and turned his neck.
Then he said: “I won’t do anything here.
Passing this mountain road, you can only enter here... directly into the territory of the Holy Cross Kingdom.
I'm taking action here. "
Derek pointed to a point on the map, which was within the Kingdom of Holy Cross.
Why are there so many people walking this mountain road?
On the one hand, it avoids the checkpoint, and on the other hand, this mountain range connects the two countries, making it easy to cross the border.
Do you really think that everyone is doing business honestly?
Smuggling, smuggling is the most profitable.
The church in the Holy Cross Kingdom is the most powerful, corrupt and conservative, and many products in the Rock Kingdom are in short supply. Those church leaders are not short of money.
Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief, but felt embarrassed at the same time, and quickly said: "I'll bring someone to help you."
"No, I can handle it myself."
Derek refused very simply. Lloyd could know about it, but he couldn't participate.
This is a hidden danger.
Lloyd thought he had other ideas and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't know you, it's just that you know that reputation is very important to me."
"I understand, we are friends, and I will not let my friends lose their interests to do things for me."
Derek comforted Lloyd and waited until he left before officially getting ready.
