Lord of Rot

Chapter 66
Corran Fossack wiped his mouth.

After breakfast, according to the usual practice, Li Qi would go to the stables, and then ride a horse to inspect the territory.

Today there will be 'widow' Glenn teaching literacy to screen out the youngsters who are not smart enough. As for the screening criteria, it is the same as Kelan, he has the final say.

Corran himself, then, is absolutely free.

back kitchen.

The little cook is washing the vegetables in the oak basin.

She was wearing a maid outfit designed by the lord. The white apron with ruffled leaves was tightened around the waist, extruding the curves of her figure, and the sleeves were rolled up, revealing her white arms.

At this time, the oak basin was bending over to scrub the floor, and its buttocks were facing the door.

Kelan looked at it a few more times greedily, probably because he hadn't tasted it in a while, and the ordinary-looking oak basin also looked very attractive.

In terms of charm, the most special one is the maid named Akeke, who is beautiful and weak.

"Oak tub."

"Master Fossac?" The oak basin was startled by the voice behind her, she stood up abruptly and turned around: "You, do you have something to order?"

"There's just something I want to talk to you about."

Looking at the nervous little maid, Kelan was confident. Isn't it easy to win a little maid with his own charm?
On the other side, Li Qi hadn't inspected the territory for several days.

He rode a horse along the road to the second village, which was a certain distance away from Maitian Village, and it would take a while to ride a horse, but new houses were being built one after another, and some people could live here after they moved here. Live directly.

The ranch has been officially put into operation.

When the craftsmen saw Li Qi coming, they immediately stopped their work and wanted to run over to greet him, but Li Qi waved his hand from a long distance away so that they didn't have to come, and they could do whatever they had to do.

"The territory is getting on the right track step by step, but the porcupine collar lacks outward-facing specialties."

Trade routes must be opened up, not only to buy slaves, but many resources can only be purchased outside the porcupine collar.

Joe has been away for a while, and it is time to come back, just in time to train the caravan.

"Although small pills can be sold in other towns, the demand in other places is certainly not as high as that in Ironstone City."

Iron Stone City, nicknamed "Holy Land", the demand for small pills in other towns other than Iron Stone City is not high.

"Wine barrels can make a lot of delicacies, but the delicacies can't support the long distance, which is unrealistic. The textile industry seems to be good. Buy raw materials and make them yourself, but the transportation cost is very high."

Such as leather, pottery, etc., limited to raw materials and other reasons, basically do not need to consider.

"You can plant flax and then make linen cloth, but as far as I know, the flax craft in the Golden Wheat Field is very good."

Plant flax with great effort by yourself, and then buy it to the place of origin?
Pure foolish behavior, and the profit of linen is not too high.

Li Qi calculated ways to make money in his mind.

What did other traversers rely on to reach ancient times?The military depends on gunpowder, making money depends on brewing wine, picking up girls depends on cheating, and as for management...the subordinates are 100% loyal, there is no shortage of talents, and they can fool other noble lords into giving money to their daughters by opening their mouths.

Let's talk about wine making first. He didn't like drinking in his previous life, let alone know how to make wine.

The gunpowder matter was put on hold for now.

After thinking about it for a while, he found that his biggest advantage was the crypt, exploring the crypt to obtain money and treasures, and making dead bodies to obtain knowledge and information.

Just like the found grass of life, it is an opportunity to bring wealth quickly.

The same goes for the Cape Crypt. Betty's knowledge of magical gunpowder is also a huge asset.

"Hiss..." He suddenly realized that although he couldn't walk the way of a man who was shocked by a tiger, he seemed to be able to walk the way of picking up girls, no, it was the way of eating soft food.

Thinking of his cousin who could make him cry with one punch, Li Qi wondered if he should take time to go to Greenwood Castle in a while.

My grandfather's family is an old aristocrat, not short of money, rich and powerful, what's wrong with the soft rice, just take care of the full.

There are rich women and steel wool balls on the earth, and there are people happily next to each other.

Let’s first conquer the crypt at the headland, and then go to Greenwood Fort. As for the caravan, let’s focus on buying first, and sell whatever you can, and don’t force it for the time being.

He returned to the castle, but he didn't see Corran.

"Where's Mr. Fossac? Has anyone seen him?"

The maid who was sweeping the glass replied: "Master Fosac seems to have gone to the kitchen once after breakfast, and then returned to his room."

kitchen?

It seems that the other party really can't wait.

In the afternoon, Joe returned with a group of able-bodied slaves.

After receiving Li Qi's order, the group of robbers and bandits were driven to dig stones.

evening.

A white raven flew by.

The letter was delivered to Li Qi soon.

"Dear cousin Li Qi, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I heard that you will come to Greenwood Castle this year? I am looking forward to meeting you again. Can we also contact by letter? I really want to know about the porcupine collar Interesting, looking forward to your reply, your cousin Stacey."

I just thought of Ruanfan during the day, and here comes Ruanfan!
"I don't call it soft rice, it's called investment promotion!"

Li Qi picked up the pen, muttered a few words, and wrote: "There are many interesting things about the porcupine collar. I want to introduce you to the most beautiful thing here, the sea. You must want to see the splashes of the waves on the beach." , or write a secret on the beach with bare feet and wait for the waves to take it away, maybe you will be interested in a drift bottle, write a piece of your story or secret into the bottle, throw it into the sea, and let it float in the sea And then into the hands of a stranger, that feeling is very novel and romantic”

He paused.

Want to change it, but forget it.

Anyway, for an arranged marriage, as long as uncle and grandpa nod.

"Of course there are still pirates in the sea. Fortunately, I defeated them, and their ship is now mine. If you come to Porcupine Collar, we can enjoy the dusk when the sky and sea turn red from the deck."

Li Qi glanced at the letter briefly, and it was the first time he had written and communicated with a woman.

"Well, I shouldn't lick it much."

Just lick it, soft rice is better than begging rice!
The letter was rolled up, sealed and handed over to the steward.

The white raven spreads its wings to deliver the letter, while he discusses the operation of the caravan with Joe.

Joe's suggestion is that at present, the surplus flour can be sold to the villages near the pig's spine valley, the price is much higher than that of unprocessed grain, and small pills can be sold along with it.

At the same time, you can bring out the news, let some caravans go to Porcupine Collar to sell goods, and purchase.

The suggestion was good, but it was rejected by Li Qi.

Can't sell food!
There must be a sufficient amount of grain in the granary to meet contingencies.

After talking for a while, I couldn't decide what to sell for the time being, but there was a long list of what I wanted to buy.

After dinner, Coran Fosac returned to his room.

He was not interested in the development of the porcupine collar at all, and only wanted to go back to his room to rest.

Knock knock, someone knocks on the door.

"Adult" sounds like duck flippers.

Kelan didn't like the personal servant who was in charge of monitoring him: "What's the matter? I've already fallen asleep."

"It's the lord." Duck Flipper said outside the door: "The lord said he is waiting for you in the garden."

"garden?"

Kelan got up reluctantly, bent down to pick up the shoes, and said while putting them on, "I'll be right there."

He opened the door, looked at the personal servant standing outside the door, and said, "Go back and rest first, don't follow me."

"Yes, my lord!"
