Of the four hundred and seventy-six serfs, women accounted for about two-thirds, there were many babies and children, and the elderly also accounted for a lot, and the number of strong men was very small—in the serf trading market, strong men were regarded as extremely The best labor is much more expensive than the elderly, children and women.
From the perspective of another lord, the quality of these serfs was very poor.
In addition to the fact that craftsmen are valuable, women and children are burdensome, and craftsmen are all old people, which is extremely uneconomical.
But Liszt didn’t complain in his heart—women can marry bachelors in the territory to offset the imbalance between men and women in Huahua Town; children and babies are candidates for future knights after they are bred; apprentice.
certainly.
Middle-aged men are equally important to Huahua Town. Whether it is farming or building roads and wharves, they all need a man of strength.
So on the surface, Liszt still complained: "Mr. Frank, the quality of these serfs is not very good. Women are what I need by name. It's okay to have more, but there are too many children, and the craftsmen are all old people. Is this a little fooling me?"
"Oh, Baron Liszt, I don't dare to fool the blood of the Tulip family." Frank laughed, "These serfs were collected by the fleet from various serf markets. Without war, there would be no high-quality serfs."
"So, now that the fleet is sailing again, they should be able to buy high-quality serfs, right? The Iron Ridge Kingdom has already started a war with the Eagle Kingdom, and father and the others have also entered the battlefield."
Frank's eyes moved: "You still have to continue the serf trade... Oh, yes, the seafood market has brought you a lot of gold coins."
"Mr. Frank is very clear about the income from the seafood market, isn't he?" Liszt didn't cry poorly, after all, the other party has been helping Levi's to collect dividends, "I will collect a sum of gold coins as soon as possible, and hope that the fleet can bring me another batch serf."
"There should be no problem. The Tulip Fleet is always doing business. Now that the war has started, the serf business is better. So, how many serfs do you plan to buy?"
"One thousand, including two hundred craftsmen."
"One thousand serfs, according to the price, need two hundred and forty gold coins."
"The serf business was not easy before, and I could accept a higher price. Now during the war, serfs are still so expensive. I can't accept it, Mr. Frank."
"War or not, the serf business is always risky..."
Do some bargaining.
Finally, a price of two hundred and ten gold coins was set.
Taking out the gold coins collected during this period of frugality and moving the caravan money, and handing them to Frank, the smile on Liszt’s face is not so gentle—it’s going to be another period of poor life, and the wallet is dry Feeling, uncomfortable, especially after getting used to spending money lavishly.
…
Rejected Frank's invitation to have lunch with Mrs. Penelope's castle on the pretext that "little Shirley would like to see you".
Madam Marie in Tulip Castle also sent servants to invite him, but he didn't go because he was not close to Madam Marie. Li Weila also stayed here, at the dining table, and kept asking Liszt: "Your bully dog has grown so big, let me give it up, how many gold coins do you want!"
What an international joke.
Although Dou Sen didn't release magic, others don't know its ability, but it's extraordinary by looking at its body shape.
This cannot be measured in gold coins!
Liszt responded coldly: "Dear sister, the first person Dou Sen saw when he opened his eyes was me, and it doesn't recognize anyone but me. Even if you use dragon coins, you can't get its recognition. Give up this Stupid idea."
Hearing the word "stupid", Li Weila's face was gloomy: "You are becoming more and more arrogant now, and you dare not even listen to what my sister says."
With a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right, Liszt sliced the steak leisurely: "I'm just telling you a fact, please stay sensible."
Mrs. Penelope seemed to appreciate Liszt's change of domineering now, and it was rare to help him speak: "Li Weila, please eat like a lady, and don't always think about grabbing something from Liszt. You want it, completely You can choose a suitable husband from among so many outstanding nobles, and satisfy everything for you."
"Grandmother, you don't love me at all now."
"You've all grown up, my little girl, and the boys. Grandma is getting old and confused. I just hope that the three of you, brothers and sisters, can live in harmony and take care of this little boy, Li Dun, so that the blood of the Tulip family can thrive."
Lunch is not very harmonious.
After the meal, Li Weila pulled out her sword angrily, and stopped in front of Liszt: "Be like a warrior, fight with me, I want to prove that you are still that cowardly Liszt!"
Without waiting for Liszt to respond.
Dou Sen, who was lying lazily on the side, suddenly broke free from Tom's grip, and rushed towards Li Weila. The imposing manner was like a tiger descending the mountain, roaring in a low voice, stirring up a gust of wind.
At that moment, Li Weila's face was covered with cold sweat.
She felt that she was enveloped by a strong murderous intent.
It is a kind of murderous intent that can only be experienced when faced with an irresistible force and her life is in danger—just like when she was seven years old, she beat a fierce horse with a whip, but the fierce horse rushed towards it fiercely, and opened its mouth to bite her - The difference is that she is now an earth knight, but the same is that she is powerless to resist.
"Come back to Dou Sen!"
Liszt gave a faint command, dashed forward, slammed on the brakes, and stopped rushing forward. But the krypton gold dog's eyes still shone fiercely, staring at Li Weila viciously, with the feeling that he would pounce on him at any time and choose someone to devour.
"It's a monster from Thorn Ridge. Although it recognizes me as the master, its ferocity is not so easy to get rid of. I'm sorry to scare you. I still have something to do. I have an appointment. Dear sister, we will talk next time."
After speaking, he smiled slightly.
Holding Dou Sen, he left the castle.
Li Weila's face was ashen, and she stood there stupidly without moving, and did not continue to be brave in words. She was really frightened when Dou Sen pounced out just now—after all, it was just a flower in the greenhouse.
On the balcony of the castle, Mrs. Penelope was watering her new nightshade with a kettle. Without a doubt, she had a clear view of what happened at the gate of the castle.
She just muttered: "That's right. Girls have to look like girls, and boys have to look like boys. These two bitches, Melissa and Marie, are not lacking in the ability to have children. "
…
Liszt did not fool Rivera.
He did have an appointment, or rather, he needed to find someone.
He came directly to a small town near Coral City, looked at the dilapidated condition of the town, and frowned slightly: "Rom, is this here?"
"My lord, this is here, Moss Town, I have been to this town before." Rom Wine Barrel replied.
"Whose fiefdom is this town?"
"It used to be a baron's fief, but it went bankrupt and was taken back by the Earl. It has not been divided out."
"It's here indeed. I've already found out what Goltai said, a two-story building with a white spire." Liszt waved his hand, "Let's go, go and meet this Mr. Magician."
