Lord of Plenty

Kun's father, Marquis Lawrence, is a well-known third-level peak warrior in the kingdom.

He was promoted to a third-level warrior at the age of 26, and reached the third-level perfection at the age of 30, and then touched the door to a higher level. He was hailed as the most likely warrior to step into the fourth level in the kingdom in the past three hundred years.

Even Dawn was once ashamed of his strength, and he was a well-deserved genius warrior.

Otherwise, with Dawn's pride, he would not have been a warrior mentor for a group of children in the Alan family for nearly ten years.

Marquis Lawrence, who was in his prime and thought he was only half a step away from crossing the chasm, was also very confident about this, and regarded the fourth level as his own possession, which was within his reach.

But in the eyes of Kun, who might be the first fourth-level great wizard in Yongxu Continent to step into the hero field with his own strength, rather than relying on the power of blood awakening,

If the end is 100 meters, then the third level only walks 10 meters. Dawn and his father, one walked about 30 meters, and the other 35 meters. Anyway, they didn't even walk half of the way.

The bottleneck from the third level to the fourth level is so huge that it makes people despair.

But most of the third-level powerhouses in the world only glimpsed the door from afar, but didn't know how far away the door that seemed to be within reach was.

Just because of a small magic stone and ten gold coins, Marquis Lawrence, who had another private transaction with the Royal Capital Mage Association, missed the advancement method right under his nose, and the kingdom missed an opportunity to grow into an empire.

This may be the most expensive ten gold coins since the birth of Yongxu Continent.

People, without exception, must pay for the mistakes they have made.

A small snowball thrown from the top of the snow mountain ten years ago, how big will it become today?

No one cares.

Because they don't know what they had the opportunity to get and what they missed.

As Kun frequently raised his hand, the gold coins in his pocket disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The spring seed task was completed!

There were not as many auction items as 100 tons of green wheat seeds at the auction site. The green wheat auctioned in two times totaled 55 tons.

They all came from the territories of other great lords in the Northern Territory. Grain was the most valuable at this time of the year, so the price was 10% higher than expected.

In addition, in order to make up for the planting gap, Kun also won 25 tons of red wheat seeds, five carts of double-leaf moonlight grass, and ten kilograms of wild horseradish seedlings.

Red wheat is a grain crop as famous as green wheat, but the two have different uses.

The bran of green wheat is generally the food for slaves and livestock, and black bread is made with most of the green bran and a small amount of whole wheat.

Because it contains a lot of green bran, it turns dark black after steaming, and sometimes it is mixed with some gravel and insect remains. It is said that it is very unpalatable.

Green wheat can be processed into flour after removing the bran, which is used to make white bread for wealthy families and various exquisite desserts.

Red wheat can also be used as feed, but because it is difficult to digest, nobles do not eat much.

But its other use is very popular among the public, so it is relatively more planted. Red wheat can be used to make wine. The Blood-Scorching Wine in the Northern Territory is very famous and is the favorite of many adventurers and mercenaries.

Of course, the nobles prefer ice fruit wine made from green grapes that have been hit by frost and then aged in ancient oak barrels. Such fine wine is worthy of the status and taste of the nobles.

As for the rough-tasting wine like Blood-Scorching Wine, it is naturally sold to taverns, restaurants, hotels and other places.

Of course, ordinary people are not allowed to make wine privately, otherwise how can the wallets of noble masters be bulged?

Double-leaf moonlight grass is a common medicinal material in the Northern Territory. It can be used to treat minor injuries and has the effect of stopping bleeding.

Some animals eat this plant to accelerate the healing of wounds, and many mercenaries also have the habit of carrying its dried products with them.

Kun had a recipe for a healing potion, and the main raw material was this herb.

Although it was only the lowest-level mild healing potion in the magic potion system, magic potions were magic potions, and the healing effect was far superior to any ointment or medicine soup.

As for wild horseradish, it was a spice, or a condiment, with a pungent and pungent taste. It was difficult for ordinary people to accept this stimulating taste, but for others who liked stimulation, it was a top-notch product.

Kun didn't buy this thing because he was greedy. Well, this was only one of the reasons, the less important part.

The main reason was that this thing was sold very expensively in the capital, very expensive, so expensive that even Kun didn't understand why it was sold so expensively.

One high-quality wild horseradish, one gold coin!

It was also very popular. There was even a saying in the capital that you can have a banquet without meat, but not without horseradish.

If a certain noble was lucky enough to get a few high-quality products, he could use them to invite the upper nobles to the banquet.

This is a rare thing in the strict aristocratic system of the capital.

Kun felt that if he didn't make this money, didn't grow 18,000 kilograms of it, and sold it at a bargain price, he would be unworthy of his title as the Master of Fertility.

55 tons of green wheat, 11 gold coins, 25 tons of red wheat, 7 gold coins, 5 carts of double-leaf moonlight grass, 160 silver coins, 10 kilograms of wild horseradish seedlings, the most expensive, cost Kun a full 6 gold coins.

For these ten kilograms of wild wasabi seedlings, Kun had to put aside a portion of the pocket money that Old Wright gave him, otherwise he would really not be able to afford these expensive seedlings.

As for farming tools, Kun only symbolically took a hundred black flint axes, a hundred double-pronged hoes, and a hundred round-headed shovels.

These farming tools are definitely not enough for the entire Fertile Territory.

But there is no way. I heard that it is because the kingdom and its neighboring countries have been in constant friction recently, and there are reports of wars in various places. Even the circulation of iron utensils has been strictly restricted, so Kun can only think of solutions elsewhere. .

"The next auction is the Liulao Guild's 100-person slave group. The starting price is one gold coin. Each increase will not be less than one silver coin. The auction is now open. One gold coin, one gold coin twice, one gold coin, three failed bids."

Hundreds of slaves, who were symbolically tied together with fine linen ropes, were slowly led onto the stage by a strong man. After a short time, they were led off because no one was willing to participate in the bidding.

"What? I looked at the famous slave trader in the kingdom and couldn't help it. These are all defective products from where they came from.

They were all so skinny that their heads and calves were so big, and their ribs were so protruding that they didn’t look as meaty as the wool sheep I raised at home. "

"They are probably savages captured from some mountainous jungle. Tsk tsk, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. What can you do with them? Raise them to be a master. You dare to ask for a gold coin? Are you crazy about money?"

Li Tianyun looked shocked, is this a human being?

Kun's face was expressionless, he was used to this kind of thing.

In Yongxu Continent, there are not too many cases where slaves are not treated as human beings. In the eyes of people in Yongxu Continent, a society like Blue Star without slaves to serve their masters is abnormal.

The Harvest Territory is very short of people, but what it needs is the kind of young and strong labor force that can be brought back to take over.

Either these slaves are too old to do heavy physical work, or they are all half-grown children, mostly girls.

Moreover, according to the population composition of the territory in Kun's plan, slaves must not exceed half of the total population, and the proportion must be reduced year by year, so that the people in the territory can adapt to life without slaves as soon as possible.

There may still be slaves now, but in the future, at least in the Plenty Territory, there will be no slaves.

There is no noble reason for liberating slaves. Kun just wants him to live more comfortably in his own territory.

However, Li Tianyun once said something with a smile that Kun couldn't quite understand, which meant that if he really accomplished this, the falsely named Fenghuo Leader would really not be far from the real Fenghuo Leader.

With no money and lack of confidence, Fenghuo Ling really couldn't afford to support too many idle people, so Kun had no idea of ​​raising a card.

When the slave was pulled off the stage, the next auction item was a huge monster egg that was as tall as half a man.

Although the size of a Warcraft egg does not necessarily mean that a high-level Warcraft can be hatched, it is undeniable that in nature, huge Warcraft are rarely weak.

The betability of this Warcraft egg is relatively small, so the starting price of the auction is also high, a full eight gold coins.

In the end, the giant Warcraft egg, half a man's height, was bought at the starting price by the aristocratic young man with a single-sided magnifying glass on his chest that he and Li Tianyun met at the Warcraft material stall.

In fact, from the auction to the present, all the Warcraft eggs that appeared on the auction stage have been collected by this person.

At the beginning, there were still a few people bidding, but no matter how much the price of the Monster Egg was raised, this guy would always be a little higher than the other person, and he looked like he was bound to win.

The organizers of the auction are most afraid of meeting this kind of people, because no one dares to raise the price again, just like this Warcraft egg, which was estimated to be auctioned for at least thirteen to fifteen gold coins. People bought it at the lowest price.

No one is stupid. The power behind such a guy who doesn't regard money as money will definitely be huge.

For a dispensable World of Warcraft egg, offending such a person is simply not worth the gain.

Don't go and tease me, why, you have one more life than others, right?

Because the mission of purchasing spring plowing seeds and farming equipment has been completed, Kun was not interested in the next auction items. He only raised his hand twice in a symbolic manner. Unsurprisingly, he failed to win any of the items.

The final auction item was an individual, a demi-human. Of course, this was the internal terminology of the human kingdom. To be precise, it should be an orc.

A female orc who only covered the main parts of her body with rags, but still couldn't hide her proud figure.

Judging from its obvious triangular animal ears and slender tail, it should be some kind of orc from the cat family.

This rare item immediately aroused intense bidding from all the auctioneers in the audience. The auctioneer said he was a low-level warrior, so the price snowballed.

Kun only glanced at it, then closed his eyes and asked Li Tianyun to leave.

There's really not much to see.

This kind of orc has always been the favorite of nobles. Kun remembered that his father, Marquis Lawrence, had two such personal maids, one from the lop-eared rabbit tribe and the other from the fire fox tribe. One was more beautiful than the other, and they were both mages.

Anyway, Kun was quite annoyed by those two guys who couldn't carry it clearly.

Although he is a servant, he likes to put on airs. In the Marquis's mansion, he is even more arrogant than the son of a real Marquis. He is always bossy when delivering messages.

But in front of his brother who can inherit the title, he looks completely different, just looking at others' choices.

The aliens are struggling to survive in the human world. I can understand it, but I don't accept it.

"Where to go next?" Li Tianyun, who was holding the monster egg, asked.

"The Magician Guild in Lovos City."

"Magician Guild? What?"

"See if I can recruit a few magician apprentices to Fengrao Territory with my reputation as a great magician."

Kun pulled at the white magician robe on his body, suddenly laughed, and added:

"The kind that doesn't ask for salary!"

——

The bonfire in the earthen fireplace in the room had already burned out. Little Joel, whose ears were frozen purple, drank a mouthful of white mist into his palm, and then rubbed his ears, which had no feeling, hard. Unfortunately, this did not bring him a bit of heat.

"Cough cough cough!"

Hearing the cough of his mother in the room, little Joel, who was not very old but was already the mainstay of the family, sighed slightly.

If he had known that these broken firewood were so difficult to burn, he would have picked up more last night.

Unfortunately, the dry firewood around the village had been picked up by the people in the same village. If he wanted to get more, he had to go farther away, but at night, he was too far away from the village, and the chance of encountering wild beasts was very high.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

The little girl with patches all over her body stared with eyes as pure as a young deer, clinging to Joel's pants, and the word "hungry" was written all over her sallow face.

'Gugu~', Joel's shriveled stomach also cried out, and the aroma of food came from the gaps between the wooden door and the window into the cold house. His slightly vicissitudes of life eyes looked out of the window with a trace of envy, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva gently.

I heard the tax officials passing by the door loudly advertise that the new lord was recruiting a large number of workers, not only with wages but also with two meals.

This is undoubtedly great news for the late winter who has nothing to do, no fields to farm, no small animals to eat, and even the stored food is almost gone.

It's a pity that his seriously ill mother repeatedly told him that even if she starved to death, he couldn't go out. These were just lies of those greedy lords.

Like cheese on a hook, his father believed the previous lord's lie that he could make more money outside, and he never came back.

Not only their family, but also many adult males in the village were abducted in this way. It is said that they were sold cheaply to another neighboring lord as slaves by the lord.

Many people were even caught by the lord's guards when they went out during the day, so now the people in the village are very scared.

The more the new lord sends his men to promote how good the treatment he gives, the more people in the same village dare not go out during the day.

Goddess, the last black-hearted lord just made up a lie that he could make money, and he abducted and sold so many people. This time, the lord who came back paid wages and provided meals. What is he trying to do?

There must be a conspiracy!
