Heaven’s Intention

After coming out of the Adventurer's Guild, Romon and Farfell were startled.

It happened that a group of soldiers passed by. They wore iron helmets, light armor, long knives on their waists, and shields in their hands. The leader was riding a horse and wearing heavy knight armor. .

On his armor plate was actually the symbol of a blue-bottomed sail, with a crown on it, ribbons on both sides, and a medal hanging from each side.

Having been in this world for so long, no matter how ignorant Romon is, he also knows that this is the mark of the Royal Freed family.

Four hundred years ago, the famous hero Mekta was good at naval battles, and made great achievements in the war of exorcism, so he was able to establish the kingdom of Esk on the coast. In this world, the kingdoms are not very big, and there is no large-scale empire. .

In a world where there are real gods who can interfere with the mortal world, the so-called unified empire becomes false.

Therefore, in the information from a hundred years ago, it was mentioned that the total area of ​​the kingdom where Romon is located is only 55,000 square kilometers, and the kingdom has seven counties including the capital.

However, according to records, Edme City (county) and Plain County are the territories of the royal family, especially Plain County, which is located in a fertile plain and is a national grain production base. It is also rich in grapes and olives. In fact, it has already become a royal family the root of

The counties of Ornell and Ellingson are areas within the reach of the royal family's influence, and also have a certain proportion of land

The three counties of Puckett, Rumke, and De Dag are controlled by their respective earls, but they are only nominally subject to the king and are largely autonomous.

This county, that is, Puckett County, has always been governed by the Earl of Campling and nobles at all levels. When will the king's army enter the county in a grand manner?

Reminiscent of the increase in adventurers in the Thorn Forest, Romon was thinking about the connection inside, and when a little inspiration appeared, Farfell asked: Romon, let's go, didn't you mean to go to Kramp Firm to meet Barn and Feizi? Ya?

Romon's train of thought was shortened, he scratched his scalp and said, Okay, let's go now.

On the earth, the streets of medieval cities are uneven, full of water and muddy all the year round, but in this world, there are still basic sewers, and there are full-time cleaners in the city to clean the streets.

Now, on this side of the street, all of them have been opened up and turned into shopfronts, turning into countless small shops.

Romon and Farfell led the way. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally saw one or two statue fountains. Although the city was small, it now gathered a large number of businessmen and adventurers.

We're here, Cramp Firm! Romon said after looking at him.

The Cramp firm is in the city, not too big or too small, and has its own small building.

Waiting for Romon and Farfell to go up, a waiter stepped forward: Welcome, gentlemen, I am willing to help you!

I am Romon, please inform your master. Romon said, entering inside, the layout in the hall can be called fresh and elegant. The walls are decorated with exquisite and relatively bright patterns, and the counters and sofas all show an atmosphere.

The man simply said a few words to the receptionist behind the counter, then led him to a room on the second floor, and gently knocked on the door.

Who is it? Barn's voice sounded from behind the door.

Good morning, two gentlemen named Romon and Farfer are looking for you.

Only a minute later, the door opened, and after seeing the people standing at the door, Barn said with a smile: Welcome, welcome, please come inside, why do you have time today?

Oh, I went to the Adventurer's Guild once to settle the payment for this year. Romon sat down on the sofa unceremoniously.

Year-end settlement seems to be a tradition in many societies, countries, and worlds, and here is no exception. It is now November, and it is a little earlier to settle accounts now, but it is not outrageous.

Barn was taken aback, and said, Alright!

He held up a ledger,

After a little calculation, he said, Mr. Romon, there are eleven in-out transactions in total, mainly due to the relatively large amount of secondary herb transactions. Now you still owe 615 gold coins.

Hearing this figure, Farfell raised his eyebrows. A year ago, both of them were worried about three hundred silver coins, but now the money is equivalent to more than 6,000 silver coins, but they didn't take it seriously.

After hearing this, Romon said casually: If there are no accidents, grain will be harvested in the territory in the coming year. It is estimated that two batches of grain and supplies will be needed before the harvest of winter wheat. Calculate how much money you have!

It's the same as before, but due to the recent price increase, it will cost about 250 gold coins. Baener did the calculations and answered in one go.

I can also send you two batches of herbs before June next year. They are all produced in greenhouses. I believe you should understand the quality and it will not be inferior. Luo Meng thought for a while and said, The quantity is more than before. Fifty percent!

It's 50% more! Barn gasped, this is a huge amount: In this case, how about I buy it at 300 gold coins per batch?

Romon pondered for a while, and agreed, which immediately made Barn smile. The business with Romon has made a lot of money this year!

Luo Meng asked casually: Why, have the prices of food and supplies increased recently?

Yes, it has increased a lot, not only food, but also medicinal herbs! Barn replied.

Since this is the case, there must be some action. If you have the opportunity, don't forget to cooperate with me! Luo Meng said pointedly.

After becoming a third-level druid and obtaining a safe base, Romon can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In this world, he can settle down on this land, and his previous experience and power on the earth are gradually brought into play.

Cities in this world are often small in scale. The capital of the kingdom has a population of no more than 50,000. It is said that in the whole continent, there are only a few cities with a population of more than 100,000. Most cities have between 5,000 and 20,000 people.

This is in line with the current level of productivity in the world. At that time, a city of 10,000 people needed 3,000 tons of grain every year, that is, the surrounding countryside needed 200,000 mu to feed urban residents.

Although I don't know the number, it is estimated that there are about 100 villages.

Prices can usually be maintained at a certain level, but now they have risen significantly, which obviously has some problems.

Barn was startled when he heard Romon say this, and looked at Romon. This simple reasoning, at the current level of knowledge in this world, is already an incredible insight in Romon's position.

Farfell, for example, never thought of this problem.

This connection was only felt by an old businessman like Barn, and he made use of it. After hearing this, his evaluation of Romon was improved, and he hesitated for a while and said: Indeed, the city They are all stockpiling food, and many materials are also being purchased.”

Then, he kept his mouth shut.

After all, Romon is an outsider, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of this, so I don't want to say much. Seeing Barn's fearful look, he felt strange, and after a while, he said again: I want to prepare some gifts.

Oh, who is it for? Barnle asked, regaining his energy.

First of all, of course it is given to my lord, it belongs to his subordinates in name! Romon said indifferently.

Of course, I will estimate the gift. Barnl smiled, for a situation like Romon's, there is a set of rules on the mainland.

Secondly, it's a gift for Second Miss Alini. Be careful with this, and the price will be one hundred gold coins!

One hundred! Everyone in the room was shocked. This is equivalent to paying taxes for a village for half a year. This gift is not light!

Also, send a gift to Jayfar, Mott, Mr. Sackville, and Sir Demercar. This is a small gift, just to show friendship.

Finally, divide the people in my territory into two categories: free citizens and tenant households, and each household will be given some New Year gifts. After all, it's the first year the territory was established, so it's a special case! Romon finally said, he With a wry smile, as a lord, even a benevolent government needs to find a reason, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Regarding the last point, Barn really didn't take it seriously, but the reason was barely plausible, so he agreed.

In the end, I bought some small gifts for Farfer and Nick’s family, and asked him to send them before the end of the year. The total value of these was 200 gold coins, which made Farfer feel a little sad, but it didn’t matter to Romon. Corner Space, are you afraid that you won’t be able to make money in the future?

Seeing that he had nothing to say, he left.

Just outside the door, Fafeier looked uncertain, looked over, and saw two people walking on the street.

One is a knight wearing armor. He is about 27 or 28 years old. He has long golden hair and a resolute expression. However, what impressed Romon the most is the armor. From this appearance, the armor weighs at least 30 kilograms, but It is worn by him, but it moves freely, just like wearing a leather jacket.

Such a powerful fighter, at least level 5 or above, Romon didn't even dare to detect it with his spiritual eyes.

The second is a woman, not a young girl, because she is not more than 20 years old in appearance, but her temperament and expression are definitely more than 20 years old. She is wearing a pure white priest robe with the sun god emblem drawn on the robe, and six silver stripes. The line is shocking, there is no doubt that she is the priest of the Lord of Radiance, and she is also a sixth-level priest.

Paladins and priests?

Although Romon had heard of it a long time ago, it was the first time he had seen it.

Romon was even more thoughtful, but after a while, he patted Farfer and said, Farfer, have you passed the third-level fighter exam?

Farfell grinned, It's passed.

What a genius, Romon thought, now he knew that Farfell was such a genius to reach this point. I relied on the Shennongjiao space to reach the third level, but he relied on his own training, and he was a natural fighter. Thinking of this, Luo Meng felt happy and patted him on the shoulder: Then let's go back!
