Marcus, who was still exuding heat, felt an unprecedented sense of comfort in his body at this moment.
It's like a boulder that was suppressed on the body, and it was finally blasted away by the potion.
He could feel that his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength.
Marcus is very glad that he chose to take the potion. He is very clear about the difference between himself and Catherine. He no longer wants to wait. If this continues, everyone will surpass him. That's why he has the choice now.
At the same time, the facts also proved that his choice this time was not wrong, and the potion had indeed brought him a lot of improvement.
His mediocre cultivation talent will change, maybe the first-order high position that has been squeezed on him for a long time will soon be broken, and hitting the second-order initial position will no longer be a dream.
Moreover, the slowly rising power in his body was telling Marcus that the potion was gradually strengthening his physique.
Marcus clenched his fists to express his excitement.
He looked at Kane aside and said gratefully.
"Thank you sir for giving me this chance."
Kane encouraged with a smile: "Make good use of the effects of the potion."
"I will, my lord." Marcus whispered back.
He couldn't wait to try, what kind of cultivation speed he had after taking the potion.
Xu understood what Marcus was thinking, and Kane said to the two: "Okay, let's go to work."
Seeing this, the two saluted Kane and prepared to leave the study.
When Catherine was about to leave, Kane did not forget to ask: "By the way, Catherine, if there is any new progress in the potion, I will let Jess inform you."
"Yes, my lord."
After Marcus and Catherine left, Kane started the afternoon review time again.
There were not many documents today, so Kane took out one and checked it.
As he expected, it was about the currency and wheat fields last time.
After adopting the reduction of wheat collection, the citizens can finally have a full meal, and at the same time, the voice of opposition to him has also decreased a lot.
But this behavior also intensified the behavior of bartering, and the Marion copper coin has no currency value in the true sense.
After Kane reduced the collection of wheat, the amount of wheat in Maike Village increased sharply, which also allowed the circulation of wheat, making it a new form of currency in a true sense.
Do you want to buy meat
All right, take wheat instead.
Do you want to buy wine
All right, take wheat instead.
In the current Maike Village, unless you offer real money in exchange, wheat is the main object of measurement.
At the same time, the lack of various food sources also began to appear in the territory, and more and more villagers showed signs of malnutrition.
Some were doing farm work, or chatting with people, and then passed out to the ground with high fever.
The currency problem cannot be solved by Kane. It will not be a big problem for the time being if wheat can be used as a new form of currency.
But in terms of food, Kane must solve this problem quickly, otherwise, if this continues, there will be a large number of malnourished people in his territory, and without the main labor force for farming, the output of wheat fields will drop sharply, which may cause famine.
Putting down the document, Kane moved his gaze to a few letters aside.
It was a letter from the courier this morning, and he hadn't opened it once.
Taking out the letter opener beside him, he opened the letter and examined it carefully.
This is a letter from Viscount Muchat. The noble said in the letter that he very much agrees with Kane's behavior of bartering. It just so happens that their Viscount also lacks staple food made of wheat.
Viscount Muchat is willing to exchange 50 tons of lettuce for 35 tons of wheat here in Kane.
If Kane is willing, he will immediately send a transport team to exchange with Kane.
Sure enough, the other party was exactly as Kane expected, and there was already a shortage of various types of food in the territory.
Regarding Viscount Muchat's question, Kane naturally readily agreed. He took out a piece of letter paper and quickly wrote a reply to this time.
Putting away the Viscount's letter and temporarily putting the reply aside, Kane opened another letter.
Quite coincidentally, this is a reply letter from Earl Sardis.
Kane did not expect to receive the two replies he most wanted on the same day.
Earl Sardis, as a baron with a vast land, has not yet seen the situation of Kane and Viscount Muchat in his territory, but in order to prevent it from happening, and to support two allies.
He is also willing to send meat to the two in exchange for wheat and vegetables.
But the difference is that Earl Sardis proposed to the two allies that the three of them could form a transport team to travel between the three territories.
The advantage of doing this is that there is no need for several people to form a team separately, which consumes horse-drawn carriages and manpower for mutual transmission.
At the same time, integrating the forces of the three nobles can ensure the safety of the transportation team.
Today's Dylan Kingdom has become extremely chaotic. When the team is transporting, it is very likely that they will be attacked by orcs. With enough troops to protect the team, some dangers can also be avoided.
Kane naturally accepted such a proposal, and he knew that the Viscount Muchat on the opposite side would definitely agree to the proposal.
Taking out a letter paper again, Kane began to reply to Earl Sardis, and also revised Viscount Muchat's reply.
Presumably, it won't be long before there will be a transport team with sufficient strength to transport between the three territories.
After collecting the letter from Earl Sardis and putting the two replies aside, Kane picked up the last unopened letter.
Looking at the wax seal on the letter, he sensed the other party's identity.
This is a nobleman who is also in the south, Odward Kester. The other party's Kester family, like Kane's Gerrard family, is a baronial family with a long history and passed down for generations.
In itself, the territories of the two are far apart, so there shouldn't be any connection.
But because the Duke of Manvila aggressively invaded the territory in the south, the two were linked together.
The content of this letter is very simple, but it also shows the baron's determination.
He decided to join Kane's alliance to resist the invasion of the Duke of Manvila.
It is a pity that there were some problems with Kane's previous alliance proposal. He did not know that Viscount Muchat and Earl Sardis had already formed an alliance and formed an alliance called Lake Eyre.
So now he has to ask the opinions of the two allies before making a decision.
I believe that the two nobles, as reasonable people, will agree to each other's joining now that all the southern nobles are under the oppression of Manvila.
Kane took out a letter again, and while replying to the baron of the Kester family, he added something about this new ally to the letters from Viscount Muchat and Earl Sardis. .
