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

A caravan company called Red Heart Lion. The flag is a flaming lion, and it is guarded by at least four knights. It seems quite powerful, and there was no hesitation when paying.

Karis thought carefully, I think this caravan should have more than this strength, just like a branch of a caravan. This branch came to the town. By the way, the person in charge of the caravan also asked me As for my origin, I just told him that I was from Ashes Town, and he said he might come to the town to do business in the future.

You guessed it right. This caravan should mainly trade in big towns. The customers it faces are the nobles. They see the value of the spices. If they resell them, they may be able to sell them for three or even four times. Price.

Ah? Karis was surprised and said immediately, It's all my fault, the price is still too cheap.

No! Lin En shook his head, You don't have to feel guilty. This is a normal thing. What the caravan does is to make money by changing hands. We sell in the town, so the price will naturally be lower, otherwise no one will buy it. When we go to the town, , if there are more rich people, then the price can increase.

We are not strong enough now and do not have enough knights to protect us. At most we can only go to surrounding villages and towns to trade. When we are strong enough, we can also set up a caravan.

Karis understands this truth and no longer complains about the low price.

How are the other items selling?

The mint is all sold out, and only the arrowhead mushrooms are not available, or even sold at all. Karis replied with deep doubts, I don't understand why this is the case. The arrowhead mushrooms are so delicious and are used for stew. The soup is particularly delicious.”

They didn't even ask?

Yes, I also specially introduced arrowhead mushrooms, but no one was interested. Moreover, we are the only ones selling mushrooms in town.

Lin En thought for a while and roughly understood the reason, For many people, mushrooms are something they choose only when they are poor and cannot afford bread. They look down on mushrooms, so naturally they won't ask or buy them.

Karis thinks the master's statement is quite right, If this is the case, the arrowhead mushrooms will not be sold.

No, wait until the next time you go to sell, just stew some mushroom soup there and let people passing by have a taste. Once they taste the taste, they should buy it. If no one really buys it, forget it.

Linn did not talk about this topic for too long, but asked: How much was sold in total, and what was the situation of the serfs and freedmen you asked about?

A total of twenty-one silver coins were sold. The price of the spices was beyond my imagination.

Suddenly, Karis stopped, apparently thinking of what Lynn said, if these spices were placed in a big town, they might be sold at a price several times higher than this.

Lin En laughed and consoled him: Don't think too much. Think about the wasted black pepper. If you sell it, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of gold coins.

Karis only felt that this comfort was a bit more heartbreaking. This was a lot of gold coins, and they were just gone.

He breathed out slightly to calm down and continued: I went to the serf market and asked about it. The prices of serfs are different. The prices of children and women are lower, ranging from about eight silver coins to twelve silver coins. For an adult, healthy and healthy man, the price ranges from fifteen to twenty-five silver coins.

If there is a disability, the price will be lowered a little. As for the free people, I have not seen any free people want to leave the town, unless they spend money to hire, but the amount of money is definitely a lot.

Linn frowned slightly. The price of the serf was higher than he thought. After selling so much fennel and mint this time, he only sold it for twenty-one silver coins, which meant that he could only buy one adult male serf.

As for women and children, you can buy them, but the priority is still for adult men.

Karis seemed to understand Linn's thoughts and said: Master, in fact, the reason why these serfs are so expensive is because they have complete slave procedures and contracts in the hands of the noble lords. If they want to conduct legal transactions, they must Purchase these contracts as well.

In this way, the ownership of these serfs will all belong to you, and the children born to them will also become your slaves for generations to come, and the lord who purchased the serfs will not say anything.

In other words, the price is actually not high, because after buying it, you can do whatever you want with them.

To the nobles, serfs were a kind of goods, used for trading.

In fact, Karis also wanted to say that there is no rush to buy serfs now. He feels that the number of serfs in the territory is enough, so he just needs to do things more slowly.

Lin En pondered, this world has its own serfdom system, and the nobles are all the beneficiaries of this system. Naturally, they will not break it. As long as you buy a serf, it is yours. There will be no regrets, and there will be no regrets. There is no problem of finding trouble after using it for a period of time and the other party dies.

Is there any way to get serfs without spending money? Linn asked casually.

Yes! Karis gave an affirmative answer, Refugees, refugees don't need to spend money. These people have no land, money, and can't even have enough food and clothing. They live a difficult life in various towns. There is no way unless Take the initiative to enter the territory of a noble lord and choose to become a serf.

However, the refugees are too dangerous, and the serfs will be obedient. There are often many troublemakers among the refugees, which leads to instability in the territory. Moreover, because they do not have slave procedures, they can escape to other places. Every noble lord No one is willing to find such troublesome things. They would rather spend money to reduce problems.

However, there are some lords who don't care. They capture these refugees and throw them into mining areas. As for life and death, that is their own problem.

Linn looked at Karis in surprise, How do you know this?

Karis took a deep breath, I once saw refugees arrested. It was a cold winter season. There were about seventy or eighty people in a small gathering place. A knight squad attacked the gathering place and killed more than a dozen people. A man who resisted tied up all the remaining people and threw them into the mining area to mine. I don’t know how many people survived.

Father's order? Linn asked.

Karis shook his head, It's not Lord Earl. I was still young at that time and had not yet entered the Earl's castle. After seeing this kind of thing with my own eyes, I swore that I would never become a serf or a refugee.

He calmed down and continued: Actually, refugees are very common, especially in the cold winter. Too many people become refugees and freeze to death and starve to death everywhere because they cannot grow crops in winter, and the noble lords cannot Get your own food out.”
