Lord of Rot

Chapter 529 Silly~Ya~Tou~~ (7k)

A person's style of dealing with others will continue to change with the change of identity.

When Li Qi was mentioned three years ago, all the monkey leaders would have frowned, looking down on a little baron from a rural corner.

Although he is said to be a baron, he is actually no better than some ordinary knights or squires in the Monkey Territory.

La Bill, who was "rescued" by Li Qi from the pirates, despised Li Qi very much.

Going back in time, if we mention Li Qi last year, the situation has obviously changed. The entire monkey leader is afraid of him, but they only think that he is a mad dog. It’s hard to say how to arrange it.

I'm not at the end of my rope yet. It's not that I really can't deal with you.

The pride of the nobles gave them the confidence to defy the odds.

And now...

News spread to the Monkey Territory one after another. The little baron they looked down on at the beginning has become a dominant lord.

I really want to climb up this big ship.

Li Qi came to Shanzhang Fort alone, without even a single follower, because he planned to go directly to the underground city after finishing the small things here.

It has been in a state of stocking up there. Although it is occasionally managed and managed, I have never seriously considered its development. I just happened to take a look when I had time.

Li Qi didn't talk about the business clearly last time, but this time he could solve all the problems once and for all. To be honest, he just stopped by and wouldn't bother to come if it wasn't brought up by someone.

The reason why he actually came here for a visit was also directly related to the monkey family. Although the monkey was dead and only the small Bill family was left, who could be sure whether that night god was still taking care of this land. The evil god's The tentacles are not so easy to cut off.

Li Qi knew that he had messed up the evil god's business, and since he had already offended him, he would definitely continue to offend him to death.

There are many gods he has offended, but it is difficult to say how many of them are true and how many are false.

If someone dared to do this to him, Li Qi would definitely not let him go.

He is like an ordinary person who cannot keep up due to the improvement of his strength. Those whose strength is at least legendary or even higher will probably hold a grudge even more.

I have never heard that in this world, God wants to have no desires or desires.

"Good day, my lord"

The person who was arranged to receive Li Qi was a handsome aristocratic young man with platinum curly hair draped over his shoulders. He was dressed mainly in red, supplemented by a bright yellow robe, and with a big red flower on his chest.

The anger is exposed.

Our Lord Li Qi will not accept this trick. He has even made up his mind that if this angry young man dares to ogle him, he will immediately put aside his previous plan to restrain his murderous intention and temper and let him feel it. Let’s talk about what a body-shattering and bone-shattering fist is.

One punch and no residue will be left.

"Shanzhang Fort has arranged for us to prepare a dinner for you... Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, I am..." The young man smiled apologetically, ignoring his pretentious and irritating little gestures. In terms of noble etiquette, he was impeccable. .

Li Qi asked directly: "Where is Baron Anal?"

Baron Annal Little Bill, the aunt of the late Baron Monkey, would not have been able to sit in this position if Reach had not exterminated the clan.

He didn't give the other party any time to introduce himself. Whether or not to step into the Pingshan Fort was only a matter of time on his mind, especially when Little Bill's family actually let a gay man entertain him.

Knowing how to take the initiative to arrange for people to greet him, knowing the etiquette, and remembering Mr. Li Qi, Mr. Li Qi was very happy.

But being greeted by a gay man made Lord Li Qi very angry.

After being interrupted by Li Qi to introduce himself, the underappreciated young man did not dare to show any expression. He still maintained a smiling demeanor. He was able to bend and stretch, and he was a character.

"Ms. Anal is not in good health, but I know you are coming and is already waiting in the meeting hall."

As you get older and your body ages, time is the fairest.

Annal Little Bill is over 70 years old. On earth, she is still a young person who has just retired a few years ago and can dance. But in Lurea, she is very old and has a very long life. Not to mention the level of legend, she can be regarded as one of the fourth. God bless you.

Just based on some superficial data Li Qi learned, very few people of his age have living parents. Most families have only one elder, and most of them are mothers. Many more people have no father or mother. .

Although Li Qi is only 21 years old, he has officially entered middle age. There are many people younger than him who are already married and fathers.

The average life expectancy in Lurea is only 40 to [-] years old, and may have increased in recent years. After all, there have been fewer wars.

It is very normal for a generation not to recognize one's grandfather. Li Qi did not know his grandfather. He only knew that he was a blacksmith in the village.

There are many people who don’t remember what their parents look like.

"Take me there."

Shanzhang Fort has been rebuilt. Compared with the time when half of it was destroyed by Li Qi's bomb, it has expanded a lot. With the foundation accumulated by several generations, Shanzhang Fort's family is very rich. The wealth is not only reflected in the money, but also the wealth. Personal connections, blood connections, etc.

But it doesn't look fragile. If he really sends troops to attack Shanzhang Fort, he estimates that it will not take him half a month, and half of that time will be spent on the road. It is estimated that as soon as he reaches the door, someone will take the initiative to open it. The city gate invites the army to enter.

If there is a real conflict, those "loved relatives and friends" will definitely separate the relationship as soon as possible. The world is big, but the big fist is the most useful.

Entering the Shanzhang Fort meeting hall, Li Qi felt as if he had returned to his own home. No one dared to stop him. Even if a patrol soldier saw the rampaging Li Qi and wanted to stop him, he would immediately understand after seeing the people following him. The stranger in front of me was not easy to deal with, so I continued to install the stone sculpture.

The young man opened the door of the meeting hall respectfully.

Didn't even knock on the door.

Li Qi glanced at him twice and had some guesses in his mind, but after the other party said "please come in", he walked in directly.

There were four people in the meeting hall, and a long table separated Li Qi from them.

Baron Annal Little Bill was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyelids slightly opened, his pupils dull and lifeless.

Li Qi heard that the original monkey baron Wells Bill seemed to have the same symptoms. It seemed to be a family inheritance, or it might be caused by believing in something not so clean.

He hoped that knowledge would be passed down from family to family, otherwise he would really want to rescue all the people in the entire Monkey Territory who were related to the Bill family and kill them all.

The best way to deal with evil gods is to cut through the mess quickly.

The other three are three noble ladies from the Little Bill family whom they haven't seen for a while.

Xiaozi·Little Bill is a legal lolita.

Aya Little Bill, mature and wavy, always feels that she looks a bit like Yennefer.

And Lulu Little Bill with short hair.

He didn't forget that when the three of them tried to climb into his bed, especially Aya and him, they almost fell into a trap.

Now that they meet again, Li Qi's attitude is much calmer. Fortunately, there is no relationship. After all, she is a noble lady and not a daughter-in-law. He would rather spend some money. Spending a little bit is better than these beautiful and free things. It's really If you keep the seed, it will probably still be troublesome.

"Good day" "Good day" "Good day"

The three styles of beauties greeted in unison: "Lord Li Qi."

Beautiful voices, beautiful people, and sisters.

Li Qi was smiling, whether he wanted to eat or not was another matter. Seeing the pretty girl made him happy both physically and mentally.

He even believed that if he showed some intention, such as playing poker with three people, it wouldn't be too difficult.

Many people will also say, I have a friend...

He was not polite and pulled out a stool. Amidst the sharp and harsh friction between the chair and the stone floor, Da Ma sat down across from the four grandfathers and grandsons.

The old woman didn't seem to wake up yet, her eyes were cloudy.

Li Qi took a closer look and found that there were no extraordinary people around. At his level, it would be really difficult to plot a plot unless it was done in a big way. The probability of the plot being successful was not high. If it were not for the faint-heartedness, the Little Bill family would have It can't be too ugly.

He didn't care whether the old woman was pretending or not, and just started talking about things.

It is not difficult to get on your own boat.

The simplest way is commercial integration. The monkey collar has a large population. Although the industry and cultivated land are average, no one will have too much consumer market. Li Qi has no intention of building the monkey collar into his own health recovery package, but when the capital turnover is insufficient, It's not impossible to take a few puffs.

The integration of 50 people is easier than Li Qi imagined. The method is very simple. You can have enough to eat by following Mr. Li Qi.

Is there a shortage of people in this world who are willing to work?Not lacking.

Many people work exhaustingly, guarding the fields day and night, but are burdened by heavy taxes. Even if the land harvests a good harvest, they may not be able to have enough to eat. If the harvest is average... it will be really miserable.

Therefore, it is really not that difficult to recruit the monkey leader under his command. It is just that cooperation has different depths. How deep or shallow it is, you have to try each other to find the right point.

It has to be accepted by everyone, not everyone can accept it in one step.

When they heard that Li Qi only wanted business exchanges, they breathed a sigh of relief.

So when Li Qi wanted to hire a group of farmers to grow them for themselves because the geographical location of Monkey Territory was very good, suitable for growing herbs that can only be grown in warm environments, they happily accepted.

After the discussion, Li Qi used the excuse of a long journey and planned to go back to rest for a while while waiting for the dinner.

The door to the chamber closed.

Annal Little Bill, whose eyes were cloudy and her expression was dull, returned to normal.

She is indeed pretending.

When facing Li Qi, whether she was awake or dull, she had no room for negotiation. Fortunately, she left everything to the three women.

"Grandma..." Su Zi was careful. She felt that she was qualified, but her grandmother's expression didn't look right, so she wasn't sure.

"what do y'all think?"

Aya looked at her wrinkled grandmother and said uncertainly: "I think so. The price of herbal medicine has always been very high, and he promised us that we can open trade routes and even have the same low taxes as Shuijian. Now Shuijian, Porcupine collar, Iron Valley, and Bangta Market..."

Her voice became softer and softer, because after spending so many years following Anal, she could make out some micro-expressions through the folds on his face.

Grandma is thinking now, doesn’t it seem like they think?
But after thinking about it, Li Qi went straight to the point and dropped the conditions. The price was much lighter than they thought before, but the benefits were real.

"Lulu?" Anal looked at the youngest Lulu.

The three sisters all have their own small ideas, but they are all common people's ideas, or this is a common problem among nobles. In Li Qi's words, they are all village chiefs, and their intrigues look lively, but in fact they are not at all. atmosphere.

The combined population of the entire Lurea continent is estimated to be the same as that of a province on Earth, and they are scattered over an extremely vast land. If you throw a stone at ten people, two of them must be nobles, but they are not just fighting in the village.

"I..." Her cheeks turned slightly red: "He seems to really intend to accept the Monkey Leader. It was the Bill family that had a conflict with him, not us."

Anael sighed, hoping that the three women wouldn't really use their feelings and get stuck in them.

Indeed, as a man, he is excellent.

He is also extremely handsome. Even if there is no benefit, there are still a large number of noble women who want to develop an intimate relationship with him.

Men love beauties and women love handsome men. It is natural.

Annal Little Bill was thinking more, she was not really confused yet.

Monkey Island is gone, and it is said that there is a big commotion in the desert. However, because the distance is too far, and the entire desert is Li Qi's territory, they can't get any important information. But one thing is certain, the current Li Qi is no less than a duke.

This was enough to let Anal know that it was no longer useful to send women away.

When everyone was about the same time, I sent my granddaughter over and called Gao Pan.

But the gap is too big, and sending it over would not be an achievement, but a plaything.

"He has great ambitions and it would be dangerous to follow him."

The most valuable wealth that age has brought to Annal Jr. is experience and intuition.

Being able to live to be over 70 years old during the war years means that her experience is reliable and her intuition is accurate, at least more accurate than all those who died before her.

"Didn't we get on his ship? He probably doesn't like us, and it's more convenient to accommodate us close to the trade route than to avoid us." Aya's cheeks were also slightly red, she She remembered that night. If the two sisters hadn't arrived, she would have succeeded.

Suzi and Lulu looked at her at the same time and said to themselves: "You were the one who did it, but we didn't."

But the two of them also agreed with Aya's words. At least for now, Li Qifei not only did not ask them to hand over any benefits, but instead provided a business route. In the long run, the relationship between the two parties is mutually beneficial, and in the short term it will definitely be It is not an exaggeration to say that one side has taken advantage of the other side, and it is said that it has turned losses into profits.

The trade route from the desert to the East Gorge that has been integrated by Li Qi is really a golden road. It offers more benefits than Wells Bill could get when he was still alive. He can get a lot of benefits casually, and also The business of growing and purchasing herbal medicines is also very profitable.

There are indeed some herbs that can only be grown in southern environments.

Anna'er was not as optimistic as the three girls. She closed her eyes and said slowly: "Those families...who do you think should be given to grow herbal medicine?"

After the death of Wells Bill, the little nobles in the Monkey Territory were of course only Little Bill to follow his lead.

But over time, loyalty will depreciate.

Little Bill's family is an old and weak woman with no man, otherwise Annal would not have thought of giving her child to Li Qi in a half-packed package.After this period of development, the Little Bill family has not changed much, but those knights have attracted a lot of foreign aid relationships, a large number of marriages, stationed troops, and Ridgby has become a giant. Of course, it is not enough to see, but with Little Bill Compared with the Bill family, the servants are strong and the master is weak.

Some people are also eyeing the three sisters, but marriage means attracting wolves into the house, and their situation is very passive.

Originally, Little Bill's family was not a powerful family, but Li Qi had wiped out all its background.

Annal continued: “Herbal medicines are very profitable and we can grow them ourselves.”

The three nodded, that's what they thought.

"But we can't stop them from planting too."

When they see you making money, others want to make money too.

"Yes……"

Just sow, so what?
It seems that Li Qi doesn't mean that the demand is very small. He clearly means that as much as there is is available. If a stable supply can be formed, it will be very profitable. It will not take four or five years to restore the past glory of the Monkey Territory. .

It is impossible to monopolize it. It is difficult for them not to let the nobles under their command give up such a huge profit, unless Li Qi personally requests that only the Little Bill family can grow it, but this is impossible. Li Qi was deliberately vague just now.

Anal asked: "How is the food growth in the Monkey Territory this year?"

"It's okay. It's better than last year. We should have a good harvest this year."

The three of them are not idle. In a family without a male, one of the three of them will be chosen to be the heir. Therefore, they all want to have something happen with Li Qi. As long as they have his support, who will be the next Baron of the Monkey Territory will basically be determined. It's a done deal.

This year has been a smooth one.

Not only did the grain grow well, but the herbs Li Qiti also grew very well. Unfortunately, there were very few people in demand and not many people were willing to grow them.

"What if he really buys herbal medicine in unlimited quantities."

"There will be more and more people." Lulu, who had the most innocent mind, answered, but she soon realized something was wrong.

Li Qineng gave special "care" and made planting herbs a good thing, basically giving money.

But growing herbal medicine is very profitable, more profitable than food, and according to Li Qi's opinion, the tariff on herbal medicine will be lower.

Not to mention other nobles, even the three daughters of the Little Bill family plan to restore their former glory by growing herbs, and they will definitely grow a large number of herbs.

Furthermore, if Li Qi purchases a large amount of herbal medicine... what he means is to purchase a large amount of herbal medicine, without any limit.

It's all about making money, growing herbs is more expensive, and it doesn't have to be difficult to grow food.

So growing food?Or growing herbs?

It seems to be a multiple-choice question, but in fact there is only one option, whichever one makes money.

If in three to five years all the Monkey Territory switches to planting herbs and there is no more arable land, Li Qi will be able to easily control everyone with food, and the change of lords could not be easier.

hiss--!
But even if they knew what they could do, this was a conspiracy, even if they knew it was a trap, they would jump in one by one.

……

Mr. Li Qi, who was suspected and feared by his grandfather and grandson, had already taken off his shoes and lay on the bed.

The situation of the Monkey Leader is quite special. Li Qi was asked to send troops to fight, but he was too lazy to fight, which was a waste of people and money. There was some conspiracy, but in his eyes, the importance of herbs was much more important than that of the Monkey Leader. At most, he could kill more than one stone with one stone.

Herbalists have said more than once that there are not enough herbal medicines. The population has surged to 10, and the demand for herbal medicines has also increased hundreds of times.

His current thoughts are not on the Monkey Leader nobles at all. Dealing with them is incidental. This land is not very good, so there is no need to grab it forcefully.

The threaded stone obtained from High Blood City has been returned to the Porcupine Territory, and then Li Qi received a series of complaints.

There are so many things to study that I am overwhelmed.

So Li Qi didn't say anything and just paid!
Isn’t it just research funding?

Can bury living people.

But even this is not enough. The lack of talent is just like playing RTS games. There are not enough unlocking conditions, not enough pre-buildings, not enough talent, and it is useless to have money.

Having said that, don't expect to get back the money Li Qi gave you.

"The Royal City Library, I really want it."

He really wants to go directly to the royal city and recruit all the scholars in the big library under his command, but now is not the time to cause trouble. It seems chaotic outside, but the orthodox king is still George Kane Jr.

Things must be done with righteousness.

"If that doesn't work, I'll find a fish another day and stuff a letter into the fish's belly, King Li Qi...or I'll ask Stacie to kill a few snakes for me, ugh."

Divine authority is ultimately under the authority of the king.

This is something Li Qi recognized very much. He also did not want divine power to be higher than royal power, as that would be very troublesome.

Li Qi must attend the monkey leader dinner to express his attitude and stand up for Little Bill's family.

He still needs the Bill Jr. family to work for him.

Basically all the nobles from the Monkey Territory came. At this time, Li Qi also saw the background of the old nobles. There were so many nobles under his command.

The benefits are obvious, divide enough territory, let them develop, and then pay.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. There are too many divisions, just like the current Little Bill family, which is a bit overwhelming and everyone has their own ideas.

Li Qi sat in the guest seat. Next to Anal, on his right side was Aya Little Bill. As the person with whom Li Qi Tianlei had a close relationship, this time the care work still fell on her. .

Even if the king comes, he cannot sit on the throne. The lord's territory is sacred and inviolable.

Li Qi was very happy that there was no dance. He really didn't like those soft ballroom dances.

Of course, if he was alone and surrounded by a group of beautiful girls in cool clothes, he would be happy to work harder. He couldn't dance, but he could appreciate it.

At the dinner table, Li Qi, Anal and others chatted casually.

Other nobles were also chatting, and most of them expressed kindness to Li Qi, but no one dared to really disturb him. It seemed that Lord Li Qi came alone... Is this the first time he came alone?If you really think you can control him, why not go back and plan the decoration style of the cemetery for yourself first.

Li Qi had reservations about the food on the table.

Although he is not at the level of fasting now, his energy needs cannot be satisfied by just holding things. In other words, after entering the palace level, he can absorb some energy from nature, which means he can barely sustain his consumption by drinking the northwest wind. It looks a bit like a strange thing made by nature.

They gather naturally and then disappear naturally.

Ordinary food could not provide him with the energy he needed, and even if he drank poison in large gulps, he might not suffer from abdominal pain, but if it tasted bad, it would be too much.

Li Qi misses the fried noodles very much now, it is simple but delicious.

There is also the celery discovered in the abandoned monastery of Iron Valley. A large number of them have been successfully cultivated recently and are regularly served on the dining table. As a vegetable, celery actually has a special taste. Those who love it will like it very much, but those who don’t like it just really hate it. .

But as an auxiliary ingredient, celery is as indispensable as onions.

Just when he was thinking about what was delicious and how to eat it, he suddenly looked at the young aristocratic young man who greeted him during the day. He was chatting intimately with an aristocratic lady who weighed more than 0 pounds.

A fair-skinned man with 0 hair was generating electricity against a wall of flesh. You could tell by looking at the expressions of the nobles around him that they couldn't stand it either.

It's more greasy than eating fat meat.

"That is Sir Marvin's wife." Aya noticed Li Qi's gaze and explained in a low voice.

When he got closer to Li Qi, he smelled a faint scent of perfume, which smelled quite good.

"Marvin……?"

Li Qi was surprised.

Guy Marvin, who was cursed by the Water Fairy to become a transcendent, belongs to the Marvin family. In other words, the Lady of the Wall of Flesh is Guy's "mother", but why is there no such person in Guy's memory?I married him later, I guess.

Good appetite!Ser Marvin loves to eat fat.

Looking at the two people's tired faces, Li Qi heard hallucinations in his ears.

"Silly~ya~tou~"

Depend on!
Aunt Ximen is everywhere.

Can you do whatever you want with money!
If he had just traveled through time, Li Qi might have rushed over and called him "Baby", but now he just wants to hide as far as he can. Who said that strong people have nothing to be afraid of? Hit them with dung balls, the strong ones in the palace Also afraid.

After eating, Li Qi left in a hurry, without giving other nobles a chance to get close and communicate, and the nobles did not dare to force him.

Li Qi's appearance today is a signal. Next, all he has to do is wait for Baron Anal Little Bill to announce the good news. If there is no good news, they might actually turn against him.

Applying the data in the game, if the loyalty is lower than 15, the nobles will rebel.

Instead of becoming friends, Li Qi and these nobles were destined to be mortal enemies.

It's not that he regards the aristocracy as his mortal enemy, but as the situation progresses, they will definitely realize that Li Qi is not the same type of person as them, and regard Li Qi as their mortal enemy.

Therefore, Li Qi must seize the time to develop quickly, and when the war breaks out in full force, he will have an absolute advantage with lightning speed. It is best to make the final decision and force people to adapt to his own rules.

The war just started and then ended, which was the most ideal state in his mind.

How difficult can it be to really say that it is difficult to survive in this era?
When it comes to growing food alone, wheat cannot be grown, but potatoes are not easy to grow.

There have been no natural disasters for many years, but people who starve to death still account for the majority of deaths.

Are the nobles short of potatoes?

No shortage.

Are you short of food?

There is no shortage.

When money reaches a certain level, it becomes just a number, because there are only so many things that can be enjoyed. More money cannot bring greater benefits. It is the same whether you make more or less, unless you need gold to create ghouls like Li Qi. No matter how much money you make, it will just eat dust in the treasure house and play no role.

But here's the problem. Ordinary people have money and food, and what good does it do to the aristocracy if they don't have to worry about food and drink?

You are not short of food or drink. Whoever sacrifices his life for me will sell his son or daughter.

If everyone is good, then no one is good.

If I am good but you are not good, then you are really good.

What the nobles want to maintain is class differences, and they can even make sacrifices to ensure this gap.

Li Qi sees things differently from them. The world is too backward. Is village-level war interesting?In the fight for pigs and potatoes, you are the best in the world, and you have no internet or electricity every day, which is very boring.

He wants talents, lots of them, to help him meet all kinds of unimaginable needs.

Even if he didn't intend to start a class struggle at the beginning... Li Qi himself was a noble and it was impossible to overthrow himself, but he was willing to speed up the process of civilization.

Different road non-phase plan.

Conflict is inevitable.

Close your eyes and fall asleep.

But late at night, Li Qi suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Judging from the weight of the footsteps, it was a woman, tall and tall.

"Again?"

He pointed to the chair next to the bed with his index finger.

The chair quickly twisted and turned into a large log-colored dog.

After sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail at Li Qi, the big dog ran to the door of the room and pounced forward.

Boom~, the sound is light.

The big dog lying down turned into a wooden chair with its back fixed to the door.

The door pushed in gently.

He didn't push away, but was blocked by the chair.

After a while, the people outside the door were unwilling to leave.
