Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 98 Population Shortage
Li Wei's three consecutive denials from Viscount Aume received nothing but a pair of blank stares.
"Well, it's useless for you to talk to me about this. Quite a few people now believe this statement." Viscount Ome took a leisurely sip of coffee to moisten his lips and continued:
"But don't worry, people who really understand will sneer at this statement. Most of those who make noises are minor characters."
"Do you remember Robert Vega?"
"Robert Vega? Sounds familiar."
"That's the alchemist who bet you on Roja's potion."
"Oh~ I remembered, that two thousand gold coin bet, right? What, did he want to break the contract? I remember I gave him another option at the time."
Levi took a leisurely sip of coffee. He wanted to see what would happen to Robert.
Now that Senior Sister Qianbei is his forbidden wife, any character Levi who wants to get involved with Flora will attack hard and strangle the grassland in the cradle.
"The Vega family is an old viscount family. This wizard Robert is actually a collateral descendant of the Vega family, but because of his decent talent, he still has some status within the Vega family.
Didn't you bet against him last time? He contacted me privately through some unknown channel, hoping to get your forgiveness. "
Mr. Levi is also a master of what to eat. The weight of this Robert Vega in Levi's heart was much worse than that of Siegfried Brandenburg.
Not to mention that the backgrounds of the two are very different. In terms of personal abilities and values, one is just a wizard with some talent, and the other is the captain of the fourth team of the Ice Blade Knights!
After some time, Li Wei will ask for help from the Ice Knights, and he wants to borrow a squadron of Ice Knights from them to harass the orcs' food routes!
Moreover, Siegfried and Levi had no conflict of interest. On the contrary, Robert actually wanted to hook up with Flora and plant grass on Levi's head.
So unlike Siegfried, Levi didn't want to let Robert go so easily. Wouldn't it be worth two thousand gold coins?
Moreover, Levi is now eager to show his tough side and calm down some people who have evil thoughts about the Monlit family.
Catching Robert might offend a viscount family, but it would also show Levi's confidence.
In the aristocratic world, the so-called magnanimity shown by the weak party is synonymous with being "cowardly and bullyable".
After all, the rumor that "Baron Monterey received a legendary wizard inheritance" is widely circulated, and I don't know how many people are sharpening their knives.
"Hey, it's not that easy. He wants me to put him down gently with just one sentence. That's two thousand gold coins! Of course, if he is willing to go to Central Street and admit loudly that he is a stupid donkey, I will no longer pursue it."
These days, face may be more important to nobles than gold coins, not to mention that this wizard Robert has become a fourth-level wizard at a young age and has always been arrogant. Letting him die is more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Hey, this guy is just a descendant of the Vega family. Although he is highly valued by Viscount Vega, it is unlikely that you would ask him to give you 2000 gold coins.
However, I do have an idea. "
Li Wei still trusted his cheap brother, Viscount Ome, so he acted like he was all ears.
"I think that although you are only a baron now, you should not be short of these two thousand gold coins. After all, I heard from Flora that the dividends given by the Wizards Association should be quite large, and they are given every year."
"Dividends from the Wizards Association?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that your Roja potion improvement process has been collected and kept by the Wizards Association. Every wizard who learns the relevant refining techniques has to pay a large fee.
As a member who submits this knowledge, you will get a certain percentage of dividends. I heard Flora say that you and her both get 20%, and Master Yelena gets 30%.
Let's not talk about this first. What I mean is that this gold coin is nothing. Your Monterey family's connections and channels are too weak. What you need more is to broaden your connections and channels.
For example, if you can get a lot of military merit this time, right, then you will have a new fiefdom, but you should also know that newly acquired fiefdoms usually have a very serious problem. "
"Population?" Levi asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's the population!" Viscount Ome took a sip of coffee and continued: "
Generally speaking, the newly acquired fiefdoms are either at the very frontier, uncultivated wasteland, or the original lord company and its people were wiped out by the orcs, leaving only an empty shell.
In rare cases, the lord died unexpectedly, leaving behind a relatively normal territory. However, this kind of territory had long been reserved by the nobles and was basically difficult to obtain.
Although after our nobles acquire a new territory, the kingdom will move a considerable number of people from the hinterland counties to enrich the new territory, the number of people given free by the kingdom is very limited.
If you want your territory to develop quickly and get on the right track as soon as possible, then you have to find a way to recruit more people yourself. "
Levi couldn't help but nodded. In fact, Li Wei has some ideas of his own about the new territory, that is, the Montenegro Territory is still his core and cannot be lost.
Levi has too many secrets, and only a territory like the Monterey Territory, which is in a remote location and has been run by the Monterey family for many years, can reassure Levi.
"Brother Hopkins, are you saying that the Vega family has a way to provide a large number of people?"
“Yes, that’s what it means, the Vega family’s main business is the slave trade.
This Vega family is actually a vassal of the Tumen family, a large noble in the north. With the support of the Tumen family, their family continuously collects slaves from the hinterland counties to the north.
Not to mention after the war, just say that now, the slave market is already in short supply. When the post-war reward wave comes, it will not be easy for you to increase the population.
If you believe me, I can help you make the connection, and just let Robert Vega go. "
"Then there's Brother Lao!"
"Hey, do we still need to talk about this?"
"Brother, I will go to the Marquis's Mansion in the city first. I still have military affairs to report to the Marquis. I will come to you for a drink in the evening!"
"Go on, if you treat me to a drink tonight, don't treat me with ordinary things!"
"Ah? Brother, I came to you for a drink, shouldn't you provide the food and drinks?"
"roll!"
Viscount Ome was about to kick him, but Levi jumped up from his seat with a smile and rushed out of the military tent.
"Brother, I want to drink Alsace tonight!"
"Drink your northwest wind!" Viscount Omei scolded with a smile, and then drank the coffee in his hand.
"It seems that my vision is really good." Viscount Aume murmured.
