Before Lorist went to Beiye Town, he wondered what kind of injury would cause a three-star silver knight of the family to recover from his injury for three years.
In Dawn Academy, Lorist studied pharmacy, although he didn't get the first-class pharmacist certificate. The main reason is that obtaining a first-class pharmacist certificate requires a year of medical treatment experience, and Lorist doesn't have that time to play the role of an angel in white. But being able to graduate from the major of pharmacy means that Lorist himself has become a trainee pharmacist. Coupled with the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine passed down from his previous life, Lorist is no stranger to the detection of the inside of the human body.
When studying pharmacy, Lorist learned that in this world of fighting qi, no matter what kind of physical injury, with the help of medicine and fighting qi, a person's body can always recover quickly. A severed limb can always be reattached as long as there are no missing limbs, and a broken bone in the whole body can also be restored. There was once a case where two great sword masters had a duel, the loser was seriously injured, his whole body was limp as mud, and he was dying. But after a year and a half of treatment, the loser was alive and kicking again, and even his battle qi had returned to the previous level.
When Lorist felt the pulse of Berunek, he quickly discovered the fact that Berunek's injuries had recovered long ago, but now this weak and powerless appearance is Because he was poisoned, and it was poisoned by the dispersal of Qi for a long time!
Thinking about the daily diet that Berunek said, Lorist didn't need to pat his head to know that it was obviously that Master Donbassin who was causing trouble. A first-level pharmacist has the face to be called a master, bah, it's really not embarrassing. Let Berunek take the poison of dissipating qi regularly, so that he can't gather fighting energy to restore his body and practice. Two bowls of gruel every day make his body weak and weak without enough nutrition, and then push everything to the internal organs of the body Because the displaced organs are broken and difficult to restore, he easily played with a three-star silver knight in the palm of his hand.
In three years, an important force pillar of the Norton family was just abandoned on the sick bed. If Berunek recovers early, maybe his father won't regret the battlefield, and he won't die from serious injuries. If Berunek presided over the overall situation in the family, he would not be panicked and bullied by Viscount Kenmes.
Because there is not a family knight with three silver stars in command, these garrison families have the confidence to refuse to obey the orders of the family, and even try to obtain the status of a quasi-noble from the Norton family... At this moment, the more Lorist thought about it, the more furious he became Cold, murderous aura burst out.
"Damn it..." Lorist said, wishing he could wipe out that Master Donbassen's family, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let anyone in the Donbassen family go.
Although Berunek was weak in body, he had been out on the battlefield and seen the world with a steady mind. Even though he was taken aback by Lorist's sudden change, he still thought that Lorist was feeling sorry for his current appearance. He smiled and patted the back of Lorist's hand: "Don't be sad, my lord, I'm used to it, and one day this day will come to an end..."
"Brother Baker, you can't stay here anymore. I will take you back to the family's manor castle, and I will find a way to deal with your injury." Lorist said.
Berunek froze for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Okay, my lord, I'm tired of staying here too. It's been three years, it's like being imprisoned in this small courtyard, and I dream of going back to the family Go to the manor castle... "
"You can't go anywhere without my permission..." A drake's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
"Oh, Master Donbassen, are you here?" Berunek said lightly.
Lorist turned around slowly, and in front of him stood an old man with a proud expression and a gloomy face, wearing a black robe imitating the style of an aristocratic dress, and a gray leather vest outside.
"Are you that pharmacist named Donbassin?" Lorist asked word by word.
The old man cast a contemptuous glance at Lorist, and ignored Lorist, as if he hadn't seen Lorist, he walked around Berunek on his own, and said in that ugly drake voice: "Baker, your health is very bad. Yesterday you insisted on going back to the manor castle. Because of your emotional agitation, your internal organs were shifted again. It means that the treatment in the past few months was all in vain. For the sake of your body, you still stay. Here, don't go anywhere."
"Bullshit!" Lorist sniffed, "Old man, why didn't you say that there was something wrong with your treatment? Three years ago, even if Big Brother Baker was seriously injured for killing the devil bear, he could move from the place where the devil bear was killed to the family's place." The manor castle, and then moved from the manor castle to Beiye Town, are all safe and sound. Now you have been treated for three years and can't move a step. Isn't it getting worse with the treatment? You, a self-proclaimed pharmacy master, seem to be so capable It doesn’t matter if you die. Brother Baker, I’ll take you away, at worst I’ll spend some more gold coins and go out and find a senior pharmacist to come and show you. Don’t worry, I have plenty of gold coins.”
When Lorist said this to the old man, he immediately lost his composure: "Who are you, and what are you doing here? Who allowed you to enter this courtyard?"
"Haha, who am I? Brother Baker, tell this old man." Lorist said.
"Master Donbassen, this is our new lord, and this is his territory. Also, you have to salute him..." Berunek said.
"See, I have met the lord." The old man reluctantly saluted Lorist.
"You are smart, old man. If you are rude again, I will kill you with a sword. Seeing that you have treated Brother Baker for three years without credit and hard work, I will forgive you this time. Now you don't object to me. Have you brought Brother Baker back to the manor castle?" Lorist asked while stroking the hilt of his sword.
The old man was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before saying, "Since your lord insists on this, then I have nothing to say. Let me leave first, and prepare a few tubes of medicine for Baker, so that I can take it to the manor castle. To prevent his injury from getting worse..."
"Go, I'll wait an hour for you to deliver the medicine." Lorist said.
Seeing the old man exiting the small yard in a hurry, Lorist looked at Belunek who was staring at him with doubts, bent slightly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Brother Baker, from this moment on, anyone Things or food, that is, clear water, you must not enter it without my permission, understand?"
Berunek was shocked: "You mean... I know."
An hour passed quickly, and old man Donbassen hadn't delivered his medicine yet.
Steward Kedan came in to report: "My lord, the captains of the garrison team of Beiye Town and the Patriarch came to visit the lord Lord. My lord, the visitor is not friendly, you have to be careful."
…
"This is Captain Molin, this is the owner of Molin, this is Captain Hassan, this is the owner of Hassan, this is Captain Chubim, this is the owner of Chubim, hey, be careful, there are people on the ground Don't fall on you. This is Captain Dombassen, you already know him, Master Dombassen..." Ke Dan greeted Lorist while introducing him.
A group of people filed in and saluted Lorist one after another, while Lorist nodded reservedly in return.
When it was the last one, Lorist smiled: "Master Donbassin, did you bring the potion back? Oh, it's in this bag, Sodkamp, take the bag, and ask the master how to take it later." Let Big Brother Baker take it down again... Do it now? Hehe, don’t be so anxious. Come on, come on, master sit here, let’s talk about things after discussing things.”
When everyone was seated, Lorist looked around and said, "Everyone must have something important to do here, and I will go back later, so please speak up if you have anything to say."
A fat old man stood up. Lorist had heard from Kedan that he was the head of the Morin family. The fat old man saluted Lorist first, and then explained the purpose of everyone's visit.
Patriarch Molin first apologized for not attending Lorist’s succession ceremony last night. What he meant was that he was absent because time was too tight and he didn’t have time to prepare presents. He was ashamed to go there empty-handed, so he rushed here as soon as he heard the arrival of the new lord today. See you, and said that in a few days, I will go to the family's manor castle again for a special congratulations when I prepare congratulatory gifts.
Lorist graciously expressed that he didn't mind and understood everyone's respect. As for the gift, he would be happy to accept it when the time comes.
After some politeness, the main topic came to the fore. Patriarch Mo Lin protested to the Norton family on behalf of the Beiye Town garrison. One is that the Norton family has ignored the defense team in the past two years, and has owed the defense team nearly two years of salary. Although the monthly salary subsidy of a guard is only one imperial silver coin, and the monthly salary of two hundred guards is only two imperial gold coins, but the total of two years adds up to a total of forty-eight imperial old man gold coins, which is considered a sum. Not a small amount anymore.
The second is that when the ancestors of the Norton family recruited garrison players more than 200 years ago, they promised that the family members of each garrison team member would be allocated ten acres of land. Now, all the surrounding areas of Beiye Town have been developed into farmland, but most of the garrison players are still there. The family members of the family have no land to cultivate, and hope that the new head of the family can solve this problem as soon as possible, and don't let the promises of the ancestors become empty words and lies.
The third question is that in view of the lack of land and the large number of people, many relatives of the guards in Beiye Town have nothing to do, so as the new lord, can Lorist issue a few caravan permits so that the redundant manpower of Beiye Town can be organized? Small caravans go out to conduct transactions on their own. Of course, these caravans will pay 10% of the proceeds to the lord according to the old practice.
Lorist smiled and nodded repeatedly, seeming to agree with Patriarch Molin's opinions and opinions, but he sneered in his heart. He was thinking of himself as a fool. Did he really think he didn't know the purpose of these bastards? After all, It is for the third item, I want to bargain with myself, and ask myself to issue them a few caravan passes, so that their smuggling team can go out and trade in the name of the Norton family caravan openly. Without caravan passes, they You can't trade with other firms, you can't buy the supplies they need, and you can only conduct small-scale underground transactions in a sneaky way.
Also, what they said is that they pay 10% of the income to the lord according to the old practice. What is the old practice? It is also very common for the lord to organize a caravan to go out for business like the caravan pass issued by the lord, but the lord is in such a situation. The caravans account for at least 50% to 30% of the income, and it is not uncommon for greedy lords to account for 70% of the income. The 10% they regard as other caravans come to the territory When did you pay taxes
Lorist smiled and apologized to everyone present. Because he had just inherited the territory, he didn't know about the garrison team's salary arrears. After he went back, he would definitely conduct a detailed investigation. compensate. Lorist said that he came back to inherit the territory this time and brought 10,000 Gold Fords. According to the market, one Gold Ford can be exchanged for four Imperial Old Man's Head Gold Coins. Forty-eight Imperial Old Man's Head Gold Coins are only twelve Gold Fords. Such a small amount is not worth a penny. carry. So please rest assured that money is not a problem.
Regarding the second question, Lorist said that this is a problem left over from history, but he still has the confidence to solve it. Now that we have an idea, we can think about it together.
"Steward Kedan, how many acres of land are there in Beiye Town?" Lorist asked.
"My lord, Beiye Town has a total of more than 27,000 mu of land." Steward Kedan replied.
"My opinion is this..." Lorist said, "I'm going to expand Beiye Town's garrison to 400 people..."
"Ah!" Several Patriarchs and garrison captains present here cried out in surprise. All the lords of the Norton family have always wanted to limit the size of the garrison, or even cancel it. Want to expand your defense team
"My lord, how can we expand without land?" Patriarch Hassan stood up and asked.
"Fields, there are a lot of fields." Lorist said with a smile: "Taking Beiye Town as an example, it has 27,000 acres of land and recruits 400 guards. For the immediate family members of each guard, I will follow the parents, Calculated with two wives and two children, ten acres of land for one person is 60 acres, and 400 guards are 24,000 acres. Isn’t that enough land?”
"Yes, but my lord, those guards have other relatives, they also have brothers and sisters..." Patriarch Mo Lin shouted.
"What is it called? Of course I have other arrangements. Kedan is in charge, go get a map of the territory." Lorist ordered.
The map was quickly placed in front of everyone.
"Look here, the terrain here is flat and not far from Beiye Town. I plan to build a town here. After this is built, the surrounding wasteland will be reclaimed as much as Beiye Town. Then I will form a garrison team. The same distribution of fields as in Beiye Town will solve the problem." Lorist said lightly.
"Yes, but my lord, this place will occasionally be invaded by mountain barbarians..."
"What about the mountain barbarians? This time, I hired a well-known mercenary group to deal with the mountain barbarians. It's okay if they don't come. If they come, they will be arrested and used as slaves. We need labor to build the city, and they will be delivered to your door for free. I welcome you very much! And you, have the mountain barbarians stopped going out, and have been nesting in Beiye Town all day to be turtles? Look for yourself, this place is so big, what future is there for development! Also, This time the expansion of the garrison team will also be dispatched frequently to the place where the city is built. Beiye Town still has 3,000 acres of land that has no owner. The mayor of Beiye Town, and two deputy mayors." Lorist threw out a big bait.
"My lord, is what you said true?" Everyone present became excited.
"Of course, you all know that I have been studying in Morente City for ten years. This kind of territory management method is the most popular there, and it is known as the most democratic management method. I am going to implement it in the territory this time. Kedan is in charge, You have stayed in Beiye Town for the past few days to organize and register the survivors of those family soldiers and those residents without land, and I plan to use them as labor for building the city, what do you guys think?" Lorist said.
"This, very good, very good, we are in favor of..."
Of course you agree, maybe you wish they could get out of Beiye Town as soon as possible. Lorist thought to himself, but smiled calmly on his face: "That would be the best. I will ask you to worry about the expansion of the defense team in Beiye Town. It is best to allocate the fields of the selected defense players well." , Those who have no land will be sent to the construction site to work, so that the two are not mistaken. Please, I will remember your credit."
"My lord, my lord, what about the caravan pass?" The drake-like voice sounded like that of Master Donbassen.
"The caravan pass, I'm sorry, we are in a state of war with Viscount Kenmes, and his Viscount has blocked our external passage. We will discuss the caravan after we defeat Viscount Kenmes and resume traffic. It's about the pass," Lorist said.
