I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

Karis was walking around in the yard, with a not so good expression on his face, and muttering to himself.

Since the young master showed strong hunger that day, he specially arranged to prepare a large amount of meat for every meal, and the young master also ate them all.

This is a good thing. For Karis, the more the young master eats, the better. More means the greater the possibility that the young master will become a knight.

But this way, their food reserves are not enough.

When they came to Ashes Town, they didn't carry many items. Cows and sheep were used to provide milk and goat milk. They must not be killed for meat. However, those meats such as air-dried pork, mutton, beef, etc. were continuously After a few days of intense eating, there wasn’t much left.

They couldn't take animals away from the townspeople forcibly. Doing so would only cause the townspeople to hate the lord.

As for buying, they don't have much money, and it's not a long-term solution.

Linn came out of the castle and saw Karis pacing, and asked, What's wrong?

Karis thought for a while and explained the current situation in detail.

Master, although Ember Town has changed under your management, there is no longer dirt on the streets, the townspeople go to the toilet to solve problems, the land curse has been dealt with, and the wheat seedlings are growing vigorously, but for a territory , these are all secondary, and the most fundamental problem has not been solved.

Lin En nodded slightly, Tell me more specifically.

Karis continued: If the territory wants to develop, it cannot lack people. Serfs can farm, work, cut down trees, build houses, etc., while civilians can provide taxes. There is also the issue of money. Ash Town is too poor. , and you are unwilling to increase taxes, which results in the castle not receiving income.

I previously considered suggesting that you sell spices and arrowhead mushrooms to the townspeople, but then I thought about it. Even if you do this, you won't make much money. If you want to make more money, you can only go to the towns and sell them. It's best to be able to There is a stable trade route for traveling merchants.

Townspeople can trade with merchants to increase their income, and can also buy cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. from merchants. In this way, when the townspeople become rich, they can provide taxes, and the castle will also become rich.

After a pause, Karis said: The current situation is that the townspeople do not dare to leave the town because of fear of Warcraft. It takes a long time to drive from Ash Town to the nearest town. Those businessmen are not willing to come at all. At present, it looks like We can be self-sufficient, but if this continues, the town’s situation will only get worse, and we must find a solution.”

Linn patted Karis on the shoulder, Yes, you have made a lot of progress.

Before, Karis gave people a sense of silly cuteness, but he has improved a lot during his time in Ashes Town. At least he sees problems more clearly and comes up with appropriate methods.

Linn has naturally considered these issues that Karis mentioned. To be more precise, when he came to Ashes Town, he knew how to change it. He thought more than Karis, and he also understood that there was only one way to break the situation. --Buy and sell.

Sell ​​something, get money, and then make purchases again, creating a virtuous cycle.

As he said, when the townspeople have money, they don't need to worry about taxes.

If you want to do it, then establish a stable trade route like Karis said.

But this is not something you can do just because you want to. The townspeople of Ash Town have been here for so long, and they have long wanted to leave. Farr also said that the family wanted to go to other towns, but it seems When the townspeople who left were bitten to death by monsters, they gave up their thoughts.

The prerequisite for a stable trade route is to have enough power to deal with the monsters. When the monsters attack, you can either kill them or repel them while keeping the caravan from being damaged.

As for Lin En, when he came here, he didn't understand why his father didn't arrange for knights to protect him. Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by other nobles?

Things had happened, and he could only complain and complain, but he couldn't point at the earl and scold him.

Since coming to Ashes Town, Linn has always maintained a stubborn attitude and tried his best to maintain the stable development of the town. What he has to do is to complete the first task, obtain the life seeds, and become a knight.

Only when you have the strength can you carry items to the town for trading.

After the first time, there will be a second time, and a stable trade route will inevitably be formed in the future.

He has been proficient in himself in the past few days. Although he has not mastered combat skills, he can do basic knight attacks. He plans to start preparing to go out in two days.

I didn’t expect Karis to bring it up at this time.

Lin En had a look of relief on her face, It's good that you can think of so many.

Karis always felt something was wrong. It felt like an adult praising a child.

I understand what you said. We don't have knights around us. It's not easy to go out and trade. What if we encounter a monster on the road? Ordinary people will only end up being bitten to death by a monster. Lin En said. .

Karis was slumped, Yes, young master, you are right. I really don't understand why the earl is so cruel. He didn't even send a knight to protect you. Is he really an earl? He is worse than a baron.

Linn raised his eyebrows. Karis had always respected the earl, and he was obviously angry when he could make him say such things.

Let's not talk about my father's affairs. Maybe he has his own ideas. I have thought about the trade route before. Now I don't need to worry about it. As long as I can break through and become a knight, I can trade with spices and make money. , and then hire knights, in this way, we will have safety guarantee, and the trade route will naturally be stabilized.

Karis nodded repeatedly, Yes, Master, your method is better. As long as you become a knight, you don't need to worry about any problems. You must eat more. There is not much dried meat in the castle, or kill the cows. ?”

No! Seeing Karis rolling up his sleeves, as if he wanted to do it himself, Linn quickly stopped him, We can't kill the cows, they still have to provide us with milk, so let's wait until the dried meat is completely Let’s talk about it after we finish eating.”

The effect of air-dried meat is not very good. Instead of killing cows, how about killing sheep? Karis muttered.

Lin En: Don't kill them. I already eat a lot of meat every day. I can't digest any more. It's a waste if I eat it.

That's it. Master, if you feel hungry, just tell me and I will have my servants kill the cow immediately.

No problem! Linn finally fooled Caris.

The first round of recommendations has failed, and I don’t know if there is still a chance to recommend it. Baozi is here to ask everyone to read as much as possible.
