prince of europe in quintiles

Of course, the system is not that stupid. Huo Teng must make this free city reflect its functions, otherwise what is the difference between it and a refugee camp?

And the elite entourage officer, the so-called trade master, is still 'on the way' on the interface.

It seemed that Huo Teng had to build the city first, otherwise it would be useless for the trade master to come.

What is the most basic function of a city?

Isn't it just trade?

Horten is going to hold a grand fair to highlight the Free City of Göttingen.

……

"One summer of that year, a young man drew a circle by the Yachi River~~~"

While the others were bereaved, Huo Teng hummed a song very calmly and planned the city's development area by the river.

The structure of the free city-state of Göttingen in the future will be completely different from that of the feudal knights.The huge resources that urban life can absorb will allow him to form a siphon effect on the surrounding feudal villages, making those nobles who despise him unknowingly become paupers.

Of course, before that, you should first consider not being robbed by them.

Not to mention the foundation of a trading city: the seaport is not built at all, and this city doesn't even have citizens!

But Huo Teng has a way.

He first took out the money and asked Greb to take the pilgrims to cut wood by the river and build a basic camp.Fortunately, it is summer, so there is no need to consider heating issues, so it is still very fast to build a basic camp.

After having a camp, Huo Teng started his show operation.

First of all, Huo Teng asked the pilgrims to build their own dormitories. These poor people did not object to sleeping in big bunks, anyway, they didn't even have clothes before.

When the houses in the camp were gradually built up, although these rough and simple wooden houses were not as secure as the earthen walls to keep out the cold, they were still strong enough to resist the cool wind at night in summer.

Then Horten sent many envoys to the surrounding countryside to search for single women and widows. At the same time, he spread rumors on the main road that the war had not yet dissipated, and told everyone that the Countess of Göttingen had established the Free City of Göttingen and was now naturalized. You don't need any formalities, you can come with a hoe.

After such a push and a fight, many widows and single women from surrounding villages came to look for a livelihood, and Huo Teng soon presided over the marriage of young and promising soldiers.And many vagrants and people who were expelled from the village, etc., are looking for places to live outside the camp.Do odd jobs for Huo Teng to earn money.

As it happens, the aftermath of the civil war in the territory is still affecting many people.Those nobles who suffered heavy losses ignored the poor harvest this summer and doubled their exploitation of the people. As a result, more and more people chose to flee to the Free City of Göttingen to find a life.Huo Teng unexpectedly gained many contacts in the surrounding villages.

Therefore, on the one hand, Huo Teng organized these people to continue reclamation by the river, and on the other hand, he prepared the plan for the establishment of Liberty City.

Huo Teng built the territory outside the city into a walled trading place in the shape of a market, with its own counter and good road conditions, just like a market in a village.

At this point, Huo Teng's preparations are basically over.

Then, Huo Teng began to distribute invitations for trade fairs to surrounding territories in an orderly manner.

Horten also specifically claimed that this is for the revival of the entire Göttingen County.

"Is he crazy? Sending invitations to the various villages... the market?" The Countess of Connorsa was on the spire of the castle every day, watching the priest who threatened to marry her, busy at the river bend Can't be handed over.

He built wooden castles, repaired houses, recruited refugees and women, and even reclaimed wasteland, the countess could understand.And it became more and more determined that Huo Teng's governance ability far exceeded his own estimation, and he was worthy of the position of prime minister of the territory.Just fame isn't enough for now.

After hearing this, Flash Knight Jones couldn't help feeling extremely guilty.

Count the nobles around you, besides drinking, fighting and playing with women, what else can you expect them to do?

However, really smart people, such as latecomers like Huo Teng, were once squeezed out to cultivate the wasteland by the river.In order to help himself, Huo Teng even gave up the most likely manor.

For this reason, Jones gritted his teeth and took the time to go back to his manor.

On the other side, in Bowendeng Village, Amelia, the head of the family, manages the family business very diligently.Under her supervision, it took only 4 days for the mill to resume work, contributing to the revival of the territory.However, the danger facing Bowendeng Village remains unchanged.The surrounding nobles from time to time crossed the border and broke into their own forests to hunt. When they were found, they even shot the forest ranger of Bowendeng's family directly, and then walked away.

Even if for a while, they dare not attack Amelia because of the existence of Conosha and Huo Teng, but as soon as time passes, they will invade Bowendeng Village without hesitation!

Faced with their constant provocations, the stubborn Amelia had no choice but to pretend to ignore them and hide her anger in her heart.

While running the mill with all her strength, she appeased the people. With the help of Huo Teng's funds, she stabilized people's hearts through tax cuts.

After learning that Huo Teng was going to hold a trade meeting in the territory, Amelia gritted her teeth and summoned the whole village even though money was tight.

Besides, there was an 'old friend' who decided to help Huo Teng.

……

Two days later, the trade fair was officially held.

Huo Teng not only sent invitation letters to the lords, but also spent 10 gold coins to invite more than 20 bards, storytellers, etc. to go to the countryside to publicize his market plan, so that many villagers who had just experienced the war were full of love for his brother. The Free City of Tingen is curious.

Curiosity is the first step.

Of course, many lords expressed openly and secretly that they didn't think it was necessary for Huo Teng to pretend to be so aggressive.

But in Göttingen there is no need for the city of Horten at all.

He couldn't drive it either.

Throughout Göttingen County, there are about 200 knight families, distributed in more than 100 villages and manors.Each knight needs nearly a hundred people to support.Coupled with various slaves, refugees, etc., after a rough estimate, there are about 3 to 6 people in Göttingen County.Population estimates vary widely largely because they are rough estimates at all.

What is the real data?

Nobody knows.

The knights only thought that these tens of thousands of people only needed to farm, log, and have children every day.Nothing else is needed!

Of course, watching the fun is a must.

Because Huo Teng announced that not only would there be a trade fair that day, but there would also be completely free theater performances.

On the surface, many nobles forbade the peasants to go, but in fact, they could not wait to set off with their families.

They didn't know that if they went by themselves, it would be equivalent to building momentum for Huo Teng.

A small market, crowded with people for a while.

Chapter 19 The Founding of the City, the Bazaar and the Three Women

Medieval fairs are not the same as country fairs.

In the Middle Ages, the holding of a fair was first approved by the local lord and promised to pay heavy taxes.Secondly, in order to resolve trade disputes, there will be a trade court with one person for the citizens and one for the nobles.There is no fixed location for the market, and it is often a conventional location.During the market, temporary stalls will be set up in a small town, and merchants from all over the world will come to buy goods.

That's right, the medieval bazaar, in a sense, assumed the status of a wholesaler.The rise of the bazaar is also the process of the continuous rise of bulk commodities.Because of roads, traffic, etc., before the middle and late Middle Ages, the main means of profit for merchants was selling luxury goods. Because of the collapse of order and moral corruption, selling bulk commodities was easy to be robbed and killed.Obviously, there is no need to open a market to sell luxury goods.

Huo Teng didn't know what year it was, but judging by people's attire and living conditions, it was probably at the historical level around the middle of the Middle Ages.Considering that even though wars are frequent, full-time facilities such as monasteries can still be maintained, the appearance of the market is almost imminent.

Cavalier Wagner, who has always disliked Huo Teng, dressed neatly on this day, and brought his family to Liberty City to laugh at Huo Teng's overreach.

When he walked 3 kilometers away, he saw a new wooden sign on the side of the road "Distance from the Free City of Göttingen: Three feet." At the same time, there were hoods representing robbers, a pointed nose representing green skins, The wild boars of wild beasts are all painted with red ×, which means that there are no robbers, green skins and large wild animals nearby, and it is very safe.Since the villagers are generally uneducated, Huo Teng only took three feet, which means about three miles, or three 15-minute walks.

"Little...be careful!"

Knight Wagner coughed a few times to hide his surprise.

The subtlety of this design is that it not only serves as a street sign, but also properly publicizes Huo Teng's free city.And the technique is novel, beyond the expectations of the knights.

What's even more insulting to IQ is that no one else thought of this brilliant idea.

Almost all rely on relatives and word of mouth to promote their villages.Many knights were disgusted by the refugees because they treated the people harshly, resulting in a lack of new population in the territory.

Wagner's family was amazed by this, and his youngest daughter went to touch the wild boar pattern on it.

Wagner restrained his family to continue walking, and when there was still one mile left and he could almost see the edge of the city, he was surprised to find that Huo Teng had actually paved the road.

Yes, pave the way with stones from the river.

In this day and age, hardly anyone paves the way!

Everyone even tries to reduce the number of convenient roads, because in this way the peasants will flee, and the enemy will be more convenient when they attack themselves.In this era of beggar-thy-neighbors, building roads is suicide, and one can sleep soundly without roads.

Wagner admits that whether Huo Teng is treacherous or timid, his boldness is really strong.

"Hmph, when the robber comes, he will know he was wrong."

Continue to go, is the so-called Free City of Göttingen.

Wagner was going to belittle Huo Teng, but when he saw the Liberty City planned by Huo Teng, the camp was neatly built on the high ground by the river in a boxy shape, with stone foundations at the bottom and an arrow tower post at the top. In front of the bright houses are neat rows of market stalls. Compared with the dilapidated castle built on the top of the hill by my own house, I can't help feeling sour.

In the middle ages, for the safety of their lives, the knights wanted to build their castles on the clouds, wherever they were safe.Other comforts, lighting, etc. are all left behind.As a result, a large number of mysterious castles hiding in the corners have been created, and the living environment is comparable to a prison.

In addition to Wagner, many knights who arrived early also pointed at Horten's home.

Envious, but also ridiculed Huo Teng for not wanting to die.

These days, no decent person lives on flat ground!

Is he a decent person who lives on flat ground?

But the more he ridiculed, the more people came to participate in the market.

There are small rich landlords who come to buy salt and fine flour; there are small shopkeepers in the country who shop for second-hand small things; there are also many disheveled tenant farmers who come here to buy new clothes when they see an opportunity.There are more decent knights and monks pointing at the intersection, but they can't help watching dramas and buying some spices.All kinds of social groups fully demonstrate the vitality of social life in the Middle Ages.

As for the salt, spices, etc., they are of course the masterpieces of Huo Teng's friends.

Just in the morning, braving the morning dew, the flash knight Jones brought the farmers in her manor and the weaving produced by the peasant women to set up a stall.

Although on the surface, Jones said that as much as possible.But in fact, Huo Teng had already guessed that Jones should spend money to buy goods for her honor.

It's up to you to hold your respect, Huo Teng is still very grateful to Jones for her generosity.

Not long after, sister-in-law Amelia came.

After taking away her elder brother's bones, Amelia quickly walked out of the haze of the death of her relatives like a medieval person.She took the farmers and brought refined noodles and fresh fish.

Huo Teng heard reports from the villagers that Amelia even ate only one meal for several days, squeezed out some bread, and hired the villagers to sell it.

Amelia really regards Huo Teng as the pillar of the family.

Huo Teng was very moved, secretly took a handful of gold coins, and stuffed them into Amelia's pocket while no one was looking.

Before I could finish speaking, another wave of people came from the south.

No one expected that it was Ms. Marianne who had been ransacked by Huo Teng in the manor!

After seeing Huo Teng, she bowed slightly and thanked: "Thank you for helping me take back my manor."

Huo Teng was taken aback for a moment, his starting point was to cut as much as possible the territory left by Skok.But since it was beneficial to Marianne, he accepted Marianne's help with peace of mind.

What Marianne sent was the well salt dug up in the well salt mines in the Alps stored in her estate.There are two full bags.This is the legacy of Skok's corruption at the time.

Seeing the salt, Huo Teng slapped his head.

Forgot to dig up Skork's vault.

Marianne obviously knew, she covered her mouth with a fan and smiled slightly: "No hurry, wait until they finish dividing the territory."

Huo Teng nodded slightly, knowing that it was inconvenient to attract attention at this time.

With the help of the goods from these three companies, Huo Teng's small market immediately gained confidence.

Cloth, white flour, salt and fresh fish. Although the countess in the castle did not show up arrogantly, she also spent a lot of money and sent precious oriental spices as support.

Moreover, Huo Teng also underestimated the spiritual and cultural poverty of the villagers.

They flocked from all directions, mostly to watch free dramas.

When they found all kinds of goods, they could not help but squeeze out precious money and food to buy them.This in turn attracts more people to rent booths, making the business bigger and bigger.

So for a whole day, the flow of people in the riverside market has exceeded a thousand people.

become a real market.

[System prompt: The Free City of Göttingen has been established. 】

[Current city level: Level 1, small town market. 】

[Current urban buildings: Lord's Longhouse Level 1, Bazaar Level 1, Wooden Wall Level 1. 】

Chapter 20 Just got out of the shower

Huo Teng carefully observed the city template that appeared for the first time.

Town Bazaar (Level 1): total number of maintenance-free arms +1, monthly tax +2 gold, arms that can be recruited: urban militia.

Very unique property.The town bazaar can provide a place for a maintenance-free unit, that is, put the unit here without paying a monthly salary.At the same time earn 2 gold per month.But after careful observation, Huo Teng found that this number is not fixed, but is added by the number of citizens, economic buildings, etc.

Lord's Longhouse (Level 1): The morale of the defending army +1, law and order +2, can issue municipal policies.

Bazaar (Level 1): Increased trade income, general affairs officer: merchant can be recruited.

Wooden fence (level 1): Provide city walls and add 1 team of defending city militia.
