Chapter 91 Reclamation (1)
Romon's map was officially recognized by the Baron, and the name of the Fringe Forest was officially established.
Romon is still a entourage, not a knight or a jazz, so he has no surname, but the territory named "Front House" on the map was also marked.
It is early summer in June, and wind and rain often occur.
On this day, the rain crackled down and intertwined into water curtains, making the entire forest in the world of water. The black clouds made the entire sky dark, as if it was dusk, and from time to time, there was a deafening roar in the lightning.
Just in the rain, a group of embarrassed adventurers rushed into the Forest House
Although in the rain, adventurers can also see that large areas of farmland have been opened in the thick fence, and several buildings have been built, one of which is a hotel
At this time, the oil lamp in the hotel has been lit up, illuminating the space inside. This is the oil of animals. You can buy fat from the adventurer's harvest for a little money. Although it tastes a little bit, no adventurer will care about it.
"Boss, drink and meat!" Captain Bix said loudly.
He was a middle-aged man with a beard, and he could vaguely see his handsomeness when he was young, but his face was already filled with wind and frost.
At this time, the hotel was already crowded with people. If there were no seats, they simply put a fur on the ground and sat on the ground. The bustling sound filled the store, and the strong aroma of wine and meat spread in the air.
"Here!" A young man was sweating and busy, and a girl was also doing odd jobs. This young man was Fafell's younger brother Waden. Due to the improvement of the economy, it happened to be the development period. In the past six months, he has watched him grow taller quickly.
The girl following behind was Ellie, the daughter of the neighbors in the town. She has been childhood sweethearts since she was a child. She got married early in this era and could get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Now the two families almost treat them as husband and wife.
Looking at the lively situation in the store, although Fafeer's mother was busy, she still smiled with satisfaction.
Waden has a weak body and is unlikely to become a promising warrior after learning combat skills. However, his family has allocated 50 acres of land, and this hotel will have an industry in the future. It is estimated that Waden and Ellie will be married next year.
The wine and meat were served delicious. The only thing sold in the hotel was fruit wine, which was cheaper, and more importantly, it would not be mixed with water. This made the adventurers who had been tired for a day suddenly have a big appetite.
Captain Bix raised his glass to show, then sat on the wooden chair and drank it in one gulp. The spicy feeling suddenly entered his mouth, flowed to his throat, and spread to his chest and abdomen. He sighed with satisfaction, and his eyes narrowed into two thin slits.
"I heard... I moved seven or eight tenants from the city today? Why are some people willing to be free people and come here from the city?" Around them, some people were eating barbecue with big mouths, their mouths were shiny, and they said.
"Well! When I went out, they happened to come in from the door. One of them I knew, Fudi, the captain of a former adventure team, said hello to me!" An adventurer put down his wine glass, tore off a piece of meat, and chewed it in his mouth: "As for free people, they have no food to eat, no matter how free they are, they will starve to death. These are the families that cannot survive in the city."
"Fudi is a third-level warrior, how did he get to this point?"
"What's the use of level 3? A wolf bit off one arm, and the treatment cost money. The person is old and disabled, and it's useless. It's already good that Romon is willing to take him in. Besides, his family is still a free citizen, and that Romon is still very polite. Others are also adventurers, so they don't have this treatment. Be honest and become a tenant."
"Hey, adventurers are killed by this. Once they get old and disabled, it will be difficult."
Hearing this, Bix suddenly became silent, and his left hand subconsciously clenched into a fist. Although he was not disabled, he was almost forty. How many years could this adventure team exist?
"Captain, drink!" An old brother around him suddenly said, picking up the wine pot, filling the wine glass that the captain who had been with him for twenty years, and then pouring himself another glass.
"Dry it!" Bix grabbed the cup vigorously, raised his neck, and drank it clean in one breath. The cold wine went down his throat, filling his chest with a scorching burn.
You toast me. I toast you. In the adventure team, they began to speak loudly and laugh loudly. Half an hour later, they were in a daze, swaying upstairs, entered the room, and fell to the ground and started to snore.
Not far away, Romon was talking to Fafell, Nick, Sukal, and Fudi whom he just mentioned.
"Sukal, how is the situation?" Romon asked.
"It's not bad. Your hands have almost recovered. I'll probably do it if I waited for another month." Sukal said happily. He looked at his palms. His originally poisoned and rigid fingers were already very flexible.
"That's good. Fafell often takes on tasks to exercise, so you can take the safety of this small territory!" Romon said.
"Don't worry, leave this to me." Sukal touched the Changbow, which was always on his body, and showed a confident smile. Once he recovered, the temperament of an excellent Sagittarius appeared.
"Fudi, I will give it to you if I lead everyone to reclaim the land in the future. Oh, I will take care of the six oxen."
"Sir, don't worry, I can do this." It was clear that a wooden house and thirty acres of private land was allocated. Fudi felt that the choice was not wrong this time: "If you have oxen, it would be no problem to open all the land in the fence."
Romon nodded. Fudi was originally the captain of the adventurer. Although he had no arms, he could still hold on. One household with a hundred acres was almost completed in the development of the territory in the fence.
Forest House, now has a total population of only eleven households, dozens of people, and is located in a remote location and the road is not smooth. However, as a relay station for adventurers, it is believed that at least for this period of time, operation will not be a problem.
After a little bit of this, Sukal and Fudi left, and Romon left Fafer and Nick to discuss matters related to the territory together.
"One of the ten taxes is for free people and tenants!" Nick learned a lot of knowledge and ran a pharmacy independently, which was considered to have grown up: "Without rules, there is no lord, even our family must follow this."
"Well, it's great if you have this idea." Romon said: "It's good if the free people draw one ten times, and the tenants draw three out of ten."
Reducing taxes may not be a benevolent government in the long run.
"Romon, I want to be the insurgent in your territory." Nick Shasha said as he finished recording.
"Oh, what should I do if the shop in the town?"
"You can leave it to Rolek. He is already familiar with the work in the store and is literate." Nick said, "And I know how much profit the store should have."
"This..." Romon felt vaguely worried about this Rolek, but after thinking about it carefully, Nick thought well, and he had risen, and Nick wanted to make progress. Moreover, the business in the store in the town was relatively stable and there was not much room for cheating, so he stopped insisting and said in agreement: "Okay, just hand over the store to Rolek, which is also our childhood partner. You can come here!"
Nick smiled immediately. He rustled on the paper and recorded the order just now. He did not misread the person. Romon would indeed take care of himself.
Fafell sat on the chair next to him and yawned boredly. He had no interest in these things. Moreover, he was about to be promoted to a third-level warrior, which proved that he was born a soldier and was a matter of course to become a sheriff and the new territory captain.
Suddenly, when he remembered something, Fafeer immediately interrupted: "Romon... Why haven't you seen you go to the temple recently?"
Romon was stunned and coughed a few times. The deal with the Baron was not revealed, nor could it be revealed. He had to go over vaguely and talk about a new topic: "How much food is left in the warehouse now?"
Nick lowered his head and estimated in his mind: "The food is still enough, and it can last for a month, and it will need to be replenished later. However, Barn's caravan is coming, and a batch of food will be transported in, saving the consumption of the steps of going out for purchases. It's still difficult to walk on the road... But Romon, I heard that the four Rihui crystals have been purchased, is the money still enough now?"
Speaking of this, Nick flipped through the account book: "Building a wall, building a house, and buying a cow is more than planned. He has used 411 gold coins. The last time you bought the druid teaching materials was one thousand gold coins, and there were only eighty-nine gold coins on the account. Now the store is relatively stable, with a maximum profit of 600 silver coins per month..."
Romon took out half of the three thousand gold coins, and there was indeed not much money in the account. Romon said, "Barn promised to owe the debt."
"Although Barn promised to owe the debt, he also asked for interest. Moreover, if he didn't pay it back then, he could mortgage our territory. We should make the worst plan and try our best to pay it off as much as possible on the safe side."
"Well, it doesn't matter, I'll solve this problem..." After hearing this, Romon also felt that it would be better to pay it off as much as possible. Thinking of the new batch of herbs in the Shennongjiao space, the new batch of herbs has matured, and I felt at ease. This batch of herbs is not a relatively expensive high-quality variety. If you sell it, you will still have three hundred gold coins.
The problem is that harvesting the five acres of medicinal fields by yourself is really a very tiring job!
Now it's harder, you can do it. Just be tired
However, after the herb harvesting is completed, Shennongjiao is probably able to be upgraded again. According to the previous rules, the area will be expanded to about 25 acres this time. After deducting the five acres of fruit trees originally planted, there will be twenty acres of land. It is not easy to take care of many fields like this!
