Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 219 Firearms Trading
Satisfied, Ferrier went back with a bunch of luxury goods presented by Owen and stayed up all night. She tried on dozens of clothes alone, not to mention a bunch of jewelry, all of which were displayed in front of the gorgeous fitting mirror. Once again, even the thought of being nurtured arose.

"In the coming year, I will be the most dazzling one at the banquet." Ferrier said confidently, especially when her eyes were on the dazzling array of cosmetics, her eyes were almost shining.

It was also the first time for her to know that makeup and maintenance are so complicated, not inferior to brewing potions.

But I have to say that the lethality of women in these things is definitely at the level of mushroom eggs. Ferrier, who hadn't slept all night, worked very hard, and started selling arms the next day, and very generously showed that she was training to use guns and cannons. soldiers.

Although firearms are rare in the empire, they are not uncommon. After all, it was only abolition of large-scale equipment back then, rather than complete destruction. Instead, many were exiled from the army. Up to now, many remote nobles like to equip their men with a small amount of this scary weapon. Weapons, the effect is very good, often with a sound, those muddy legs will fall to their knees on the spot.

Even the Imperial Frontier Army will choose to equip some patrolling soldiers, because firing a shot is equivalent to a warning.

But there are not many large-scale equipment, because the barrel needs to be knocked by hand, and it must be a skilled blacksmith. Otherwise, the barrel of the knocked out is slightly deviated, and the bullet will not know where to fly.

Such time and energy is enough to create seven or eight gun heads or two or three one-handed swords, and the life of the musket is too short. Excluding training, it should be scrapped after a hundred rounds at most. The battle is over after one battle.

Moreover, there are high requirements for maintaining firearms and storing ammunition, so there are many defects and shortcomings, coupled with the high cost, not many people will choose to buy in large quantities, at most nobles use it for hunting.

But now it is different, the Northland is in chaos, all the nobles in the Northland and even some minor nobles on the border of the empire are eager to find a weapon that can protect themselves.

After simple training, farmers can use firearms that are easy to train and intimidating, and they have become their first choice. Anyway, if they can't kill people, they can be brave. Therefore, the newly opened arms business in Ferrier Town is very prosperous.

As soon as Ferrier's arms business started, Earl Solari knew about it.

As one of the only two Earls in the Northland, Earl Solari has always looked down on Countess Ferrier, not only because she is a womanizer, but also because she gradually monopolizes Countess Ferrier because of her personal connections developed by her own beauty. Di Fumao created a foundation, so he looked down on the other party from the bottom of his heart.

But the last time the other party brought out the cursed flesh and blood to lure away the aberrants, he raised his vigilance a lot and sent a lot of manpower to the town of Ferrier. That's why he discovered that the other party was selling firearms so quickly, and people bought them A batch of discounted goods.

These discounted goods were used in the battle of Mara Town. They are five or six floors new and well maintained. If the full charge is not used for a few rounds, there is a danger of explosion, but it is okay if the half charge is used for training.

Because it is cheap, there are quite a few people who buy it. After all, they can choose to lie flat to avoid struggling if a few shots can't solve the problem, but they don't dislike it.

As for why Earl Solari bought discounted goods, it was mainly because he wanted to see who made these muskets. New ones could be disguised, but second-hand ones could not.

Looking at the guns one by one, Earl Solari wiped his hands with his cloak, his expression thoughtful.

"It's not actually used by the frontier army of the empire. Where did she get it from?" Earl Solari found that although the quality of these muskets was average, they were of uniform specifications. Only the Imperial Frontier Army has this ability, but in terms of style, it is not. It is obtained from other places, but who is behind that woman?

After thinking about that person's connections, Earl Solari's head grew dizzy, so he simply gave up thinking about it and started thinking about whether to buy a batch of firearms.

Because he has an elite cavalry under his command, Count Solari prefers to take the initiative to attack quickly, and has little interest in the musketeers who pay attention to formation and move slowly.

But now the situation is getting worse. He is vaguely aware of the empire's plan, and the family's attitude has become ambiguous, which makes him have an ominous premonition. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to buy a batch of muskets as defensive weapons. The most important thing is that the price is not expensive, even if it is brand new, he can accept it.

As Earl Solari purchased a large number of muskets, Countess Ferrier even trained a firearms army, flaunting their might to drive away the rioters, which immediately caused a change in the direction of the entire Northland.

Many northern nobles and minor nobles on the border of the empire came to buy muskets. Ferrier would not refuse anyone who came, and sold them for money. In a short period of time, he sold thousands of muskets, which allowed Owen to obtain a large amount of funds. Hall also exchanged his draw for more luxuries from him, even including a luxurious bathroom.

Such a large-scale sale of muskets naturally attracted the attention of many people, but just like Earl Solari, Countess Ferrier's interpersonal relationship is too complicated. For more than ten years, her contacts have spread all over the Northland and the border of the empire. , even the imperial capital is connected with several big cities. After all, the top fur in the Northland is the best stepping stone.

In addition, Countess Ferrier is charming, long-sleeved and good at dancing, with friends all over the world, and countless admirers. It is not impossible to find people who provide these muskets from her personal connections, but the time and cost will definitely make most of them People dispel this idea, so they can only use other methods.

Samui, who was building an intelligence network in the town of Ferrier, came back suddenly, but after listening to her report, Owen was dumbfounded.

"The situation is really that bad?" Owen rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"This time is still too short. If you give the roots some more time, you can dig out more information." Samuel was also a little helpless, because she knew the importance of the town of Ferrier to the outward development of the territory's information, but The situation in Ferrier's town was so complicated that even she found it difficult.

Because Ferrier is obsessed with the life of the upper-class nobles, many things in the territory are handed over to his subordinates. These subordinates have been tampered with by Ferrier. Even if you want to do something, you must find more people to complete it, so that the rule gap will inevitably arise.

However, people come and go here frequently, and the powerful figures on the border between the Northland and the Empire also come and go frequently, so the town of Ferrier has become a place for various forces to deploy people to inquire about intelligence and information collection.

Over time, the merchants in the entire town of Ferrier have almost become the eyes of various forces, and they have many buddies under them, and these buddies have developed more civilians as eye shadows.

Let's put it this way, if ten people were randomly arrested in Ferrier Town, it would be unfair to chop them all off, but if nine of them were chopped off, some would slip through the net. This shows that there are so many spies in Ferrier Town.
