Lord of Plenty

A second-level warrior, a veteran mercenary, who has survived the tough mercenary business to this day, and has become the boss of a business group under the Ice Fang Mercenary Group. Even if Old Kili devalued himself as worthless, Kun would not believe it.

After all, if he was really an idle person with no status, how could he say that he would lead the Ice Fang Mercenary Group to join him?

Old Kili was right in one thing. Kun did look down on the power of the Ice Fang Mercenary Group. With seven great warriors and nearly two hundred entry-level warriors, it is worthy of the name of a large mercenary group.

But can we pick out a great warrior like Dawn or Nia who has a promising future?

Let's talk about Li Yuntian. Although Dawn disliked him in various ways, he is still a fourth-level mercenary. Adhering to the idea of ​​"better to have nothing than to have something sloppy", Kun really didn't pay much attention to the Ice Fang Mercenary Group.

After a moment of silence, Kun said:

"Evidence, words are not enough. How can you prove that you can convince the Ice Fang Mercenary Group instead of me letting the tiger go back to the mountain? Besides, the continent is so big. If you are really determined to hide in a remote place, no matter how strong this lord is, I don't have the time to bother you."

"I am the half-fighting teacher of the current leader of the Ice Fang Mercenary Group. Thank you for your support and courtesy. I am also willing to listen to my advice. I think the leader will not give up such a good opportunity to serve a saint with unlimited future."

Old Gilly raised his head and smiled bitterly:

"And to be honest with you, Ice Fang Mercenary Group The Ya Mercenary Group is in some trouble now. Originally, they wanted to rely on the power of the Smith family to overcome this difficulty. But now, not only has the mission not been completed, but the Earl's son is also locked up in your dungeon. How can the Smith family let us go easily? I'm afraid we can't stay in the south anymore. "

"You have bad intentions, you are calculating against each other, and you have dragged my Fengyu Territory into the water. You are always in danger of an ancient dragon. Do you want to blame me?"

"I dare not, I dare not, I have no such intention."

Under Kun's series of "heartbroken" questions, old Kili broke out in a cold sweat.

Always in danger of an ancient dragon?

If the body of the ancient dragon had not been piled at his feet before, he would have really believed the lies of such a fool.

Why was the noble young master Leon so angry?

It was because just a second ago, this person swore that because of their reckless behavior, they had provoked a terrible ancient dragon for Fengrao Territory, and asked Leon to pay a huge compensation. This sounded a little reasonable.

But the next moment, this person killed the invincible ancient dragon, cut the body into pieces, and piled it at their feet, as if mocking their incompetence and stupidity nakedly.

Old Kili was purely terrified, and Leon was "shocked and angry"? To the point of losing his initial calm.

Unlike the noble young master Leon who still wanted to leave a fig leaf for himself and maintain his long-defunct noble dignity, Old Kili recognized the reality earlier, so he "surrendered to the enemy" so simply.

As for personal dignity and the face of the Ice Fang Mercenary Group, Old Kili could take it and put it down.

And he also believed that his favorite disciple was the same. He would not be so stupid as to use the thousands of lives of the mercenary group for a meaningless dispute for some so-called dignity.

Besides, is it really shameful to have the opportunity to serve a fourth-level saint?

Pick a third-level great wizard from the wizard associations that stand in the centers of major cities in the kingdom and ask him if he would feel ashamed if he had the opportunity to become a wizard apprentice under a saint?

I'm afraid it would be a blessing.

A saint has a lifespan of two hundred years, which means that in these two hundred years, it is still unknown what the kingdom will look like, but the saint can always be high above and no one dares to bully him.

If such a good opportunity is missed, he, old Kili, will not be the "most scheming ice-fang hedgehog".

Old Kili looked at Kun, who was sitting at the top, with expectation. This was a gamble. If he failed, it would only cost him a few years to live.

But if the bet wins, the Ice Fang Mercenary Group will get a real backer, the kind that will last for two hundred years.

"I don't have any idea about the Ice Fang Mercenary Group..."

When Old Kili heard this, his heart immediately sank.

"But I am a little interested in the merchant group you have."

"Huh?"

Old Kili was a little confused. He was not interested in the well-known large mercenary group like the Ice Fang Mercenary Group, but was interested in the dispensable small merchant group in his hand. Why?

Kun really didn't have any idea about the "big pie" that Old Kili mentioned, at least not now. His Fengrao Territory lacked labor, but it was not extravagant enough to get thousands of mercenaries to open up wasteland in Fengrao Territory.

Those old oil sticks have long been used to being unrestrained. That's not thousands of labor, but thousands of big troubles.

Not only Kun's Fengrao Territory will not welcome these guys, but no small lord will welcome them. When the time comes, who will have the final say in the territory, the lord or the head of the mercenary group?

Kun wasn't afraid of a few mercenaries, but he was afraid of trouble.

There has never been a lack of fighting power in his fertile territory. Managing unruly mercenaries is not as easy as managing farmers. What he needs is a labor force that can meticulously implement his ideas to build a "flower garden", not a bunch of people who love to drink and cause trouble. Bastard, hob meat.

From Kun's point of view, everything in Fengrao Territory is good, but the transportation is inconvenient. No business group is willing to come here to trade. If you want to buy or sell something, you have to go to other cities to buy it. It is really inconvenient.

Although he has always had the idea of ​​opening a trade route, due to the shortage of manpower in the Fertile Territory, some plans can only be temporarily shelved.

However, the business group does not necessarily have to have its own manpower, as long as someone is willing to run the Fengrao Lead trade route.

He casually tore off a map scroll, and a clear magical map around the Harvest Territory suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Kun pointed with his finger, and a red road starting from the Fenghuang Territory and connecting the main traffic arteries in the north emerged.

"I plan to build a road leading to the outside world within a year. By then, the rugged mountain road will no longer be an obstacle to the harvest of prosperity. But before that, I don't think any business group will be stupid enough to do it every day. A half-month trip to a remote place like Fenghuo Territory to conduct trade, don’t you think so, Leader of Kili Merchant Group?”

Kun looked at Old Killy on the ground with a smile, as if everyone was ready to talk and discuss.

When Lao Jili heard the elegant meaning of the string, he immediately patted his chest and said:

"Of course there is no such ridiculous thing. The rich and prosperous land under the leadership of the Lord, and the mere mountain roads, how can it stop the businessmen who want to make money? It's just that the news from the Lord Lord cannot be conveyed, so I picked one up. It’s a great bargain. I can guarantee that I will make a trip to Fengshengling every half month, no, every ten days, to bring you all the goods you need, and I guarantee you won’t earn a single copper coin.”

"As for the money, you still have to earn what you deserve, otherwise if word spreads, which business group will dare to come to me in the future?"

Kun smiled, and an invisible force lifted up all the people on the ground. Since everyone is in the same group now, they can no longer squeeze others as hard as before.

You can be cruel to your enemies, but you must be hospitable to your friends. This is also a valuable experience that Kun learned from another world.

"Tate, you take them to find Grace to cure the frostbite first, take a bath, and then change into clean clothes. As for the specific matters of the business group, Vittorio, the tax officer in the territory, and you will Let’s talk about it in detail, well, let’s wait until tomorrow to talk about these things. You guys should have a good rest today.”

"Thank you for your kindness."

Old Killy bowed to Kun with some excitement. He knew that his life was saved for the time being, and asked with some expectation:

"What about the Bingya Mercenary Group?"

"I still said what I said, let your captain come to see me in person. As for whether there is a chance and whether we can cooperate, we still have to wait until we meet."

This is not a garbage recycling yard, and he wants all kinds of messy things.

Kun could clearly see Old Kili's little caution. Personally speaking, Kun felt that Old Kili was a qualified mercenary. He was ruthless, smart, and good at judging situations. In Kun's eyes, he looked like a real mercenary.

Old Gilly's rank is not high, only second-level, but Kun never pays attention to rank. If the situation were different, Kun might even invite this person to be his personal consultant to help old Tate train. Check out your own guards.

Even if Old Killy is the leader of the Bingya mercenary group, Kun feels that it is not impossible to cooperate, but it is a pity that he is not.

Generally speaking, a large mercenary group such as the Bingya Mercenary Group cannot hold the position of leader without the strength of a great warrior. Kun estimates that this leader is one of the seven great warriors mentioned by Old Kili.

It's a pity that he never cooperates with idiots. His verbal agreement with Old Keely is just because of the trade agreement they just reached. He can't burn bridges and doesn't give the other party any face.

Just looking at the bad move of the Bingya mercenary group to seek skin from a tiger and trying to use the power of the Smit family to solve the troubles they encountered, Kun didn't have a good impression of the leader of the Bingya mercenary group whom he had never met before. For a fool whose head is full of muscles, is it so easy to borrow the power of the Golden Family?

This family has always been unprofitable. Kun even suspected that the troubles the Bingya mercenary group encountered in the south were caused by the Smit family. By then, the Bingya mercenaries would not be able to repay the favor of the Smit family. The Corps will simply be eaten alive by the Smit family.

How did their "golden" family get their reputation? Did they do good deeds all day long and people praised them? Then they should be called the "good guys" or the "fool" family, right?

"Wait a moment."

Several people who were stopped by Kun were a little stunned.

"Sir, do you have any more questions? I will tell you everything."

"I have a question, but don't be nervous. It's just a small personal question. I clearly remember when I met you at the open-air auction square in Lobos City. You spoke in northern dialect, which made my head spin. It hurts, how come you can speak the common language of the Kingdom fluently now?"

Old Keely blushed for a rare moment and explained:

"My lord, I don't know. In fact, I know not only the northern dialects, but also the accents of the southern part of the kingdom and even the words of those mountain dwarves. After all, we need to constantly trade in various places. In many cases, whether we can speak the local language fluently is the only way to distinguish them. Is it an important certificate for local businessmen?”

"Local merchants will unite to exclude foreign merchants, and local buyers will also think that some local products will be of better quality. If you master the local dialect, you will be more likely to win the trust of buyers from other places, and it will be easier to deceive them, cough, and offer a high price. In fact, what I said is not so standard, but it is still possible to fool those southern merchants who come to Lovos City for the first time."

"Hahaha, you are really a talent. It turns out that you are all liars."

Kun almost laughed out of breath. He was not angry at all because he was treated as a fool with a lot of money last time. Who in this world is not a fool?

Rats have their own world, and lions have their own world. Everyone's understanding of the world is one-sided, and no one can be omniscient and omnipotent.

If you have strengths, you must have weaknesses. If you know something, you must not know something. There is nothing to worry about. If you are deceived, it only means that you are not knowledgeable enough. You will learn from your mistakes and make progress.

"Old Kili, if you can't make it in the Ice Fang Mercenary Group in the future, the door of the Rich Territory is always open to you."

Old Kili smiled awkwardly at Kun's words, which were not sure whether they were praise or curse, and followed Old Tate out of the reception room.

Old Kili was a little proud walking in the corridor of the castle, and his footsteps were light. Was he personally invited by a saint?

Although he would never leave the Ice Fang Mercenary Group in his life, it didn't stop him from being happy. If a few old brothers got together for a drink one day, and he accidentally let this matter slip, wouldn't those old men be jealous to death?

That was a legendary strong man who had set foot in the realm of heroes, and he was one of the few great figures in the history of the entire kingdom. He actually invited an insignificant little person like him personally, and even the entire Ice Fang Mercenary Group was not taken seriously by him, but he was the only one invited.

A saint who is only sixteen years old can easily deal with such a powerful ancient dragon. How strong is that adult? I didn't expect that he, Old Kili, would work for such a big man one day.

Old Kili is looking forward to the day when the name of that adult will be heard throughout the Yongxu Continent.

After the members of the Bingya Mercenary Group left, the bored Kun walked to the window and admired the scenery outside the window.

The spring plowing work has come to an end for the time being. The next tasks of topdressing, cleaning weeds and pests, watering and caring for seedlings, Kun has divided them into new tasks in the work team, and only women and elderly people are allowed to take them. Of course, the wages are much lower than those of the workers in the logging team and construction team.

As for the children?

According to the new rules issued by the lord, all children under the age of ten must go to the newly opened Jade Classroom for classes. Classes are free, and like the work team, two meals a day are provided.

If a child from a family didn't come, it would be very simple. Lord Reinhardt, the tax collector of Fengcuo Territory who claimed to be useless, would immediately bring his men to visit the family in person and calculate with them how much tax they had not paid in previous years.
