Chapter 49: Lack of talent
Chapter 49 – Scarcity of Talents
At first, Kerens broke the boat without leaving a trace of leeway, will be his years of hard work everything is dedicated to the Lord Lord, intends to use this to win a future, for which he has already prepared the whole family to suffer together.
But the lord soon gave a beautiful villa, not only furniture and supplies, but also people to send precious spices and rare ingredients in the North, and these are also a regular monthly payment.
According to Lord Maya, this was a salary set by the Lord.
This was unheard of for Kerens, but the result was not bad, although he lost his territory and serfs, but he had a fixed salary, and occasionally there were bonuses and rewards, so the family’s quality of life was better than before.
Moreover, Kerens found a goal to strive for here, the lady can dress up beautifully every day to take care of the children, no longer need to think about how to use the monotonous ingredients to cook food that can be eaten, nor need to think about the day to boil water to take a bath is more cost-effective, and do not have to worry about the sudden appearance of the beasts will not hurt the children.
Seeing the lady take the skirt and forcefully pull her daughter who was practicing sword in the backyard to try on the clothes, Kerensi was even more convinced that his original choice was not wrong, therefore he must not give up any opportunity, and must do his best to show his own ability.
In Kerensi to cheer themselves up when, Owen has already prepared the goods in the inner warehouse.
The territory’s warehouse is divided into the public warehouse and the inner warehouse, the public warehouse reserves of food, seeds, agricultural tools and part of the weapons and equipment, Maya can be mobilized at will, but not the inner warehouse, without Owen’s approval, a hair can not be taken out, and in and out of all the system by the soldiers responsible for.
In fact, the inner warehouse is Owen’s cover for his own exchange, regardless of whether or not Maya suspected, with the existence of the inner warehouse and secret passage, she can not be sure of the source of the territory’s supplies, after all, Owen in many places are too mysterious.
As for why he did so, Owen was not sure, he just instinctively wanted to cover up his own little secret, anyway, idleness is also idleness, and men have their own little secret is not a very normal thing?
Even if a pair of lovers who are more honest may tell each other about their first love, but have you ever seen that man’s sharing seeds with his girlfriend, that woman discussing the length with the man?
Large quantities of goods were moved out from the inner storehouse deep underground, boxed up and moved onto the cars, still the same things, cloth, porcelain, salted fish, iron pots.
These things don’t look inconspicuous, in the Northland is hard currency, better than gold and gems, at least you use gold is difficult to exchange from the Northland barbarians where anything, but an iron pot can let you take away all the things in his tent, including women.
Northland lords are similar, the further north the more so, many times you are very difficult to distinguish them from the savages, and some places even the caravan is only once a year or two, and even no caravan will go, in this case even if there is a large amount of gold in the hands of what can be, unless they are willing to risk going back to the place.
But the identity of the border nobles can not be changed to the imperial nobility, so either go back as a commoner, or go back as a merchant.
It seems that the border nobles of the Northland and the imperial nobles are only separated by a border line, but in reality the gap between the two sides is a chasm that is difficult to cross, and is completely divided.
Therefore, even if the border nobles of the Northland made a fortune, at most they would go to the border cities to enjoy themselves, and would seldom give up everything to return to the empire, because those who did so did not have a good ending.
The sparsely populated Northland is still fine, it’s not necessary to come all the way to get you, but back in the Empire, it’s not just a matter of saying what you want to do.
Poor does not matter, if the hand has a fortune, not to get you to get who, over time, no one will be willing to go back.
Because this time need to buy a large number of serfs and large herds of livestock, so the size of the caravan than the last time a lot bigger, responsible for guarding the soldiers of course should be more, otherwise it is inevitable that will not be stared at.
This time, besides the four scout cavalrymen, ten breastplate cavalrymen and ten bow cavalrymen, there are also twenty infantry archers, twenty spearmen, and twenty militiamen who are responsible for repairing the vehicles, cooking and doing odd jobs. These soldiers were enough to take out any of the border nobles in the Northlands and could keep anyone who saw the caravan sane, and that wasn’t even the full strength of the territory.
The decently dressed Corenth blushed slightly as he looked at the elite cavalry and soldiers in front of him, and although he still acted decently, he couldn’t hide the excitement inside.
Looking at these spirited soldiers in front of him with an appreciative gaze, compared to the soldiers under his command before, they were simply a bunch of garbage, this is what a nobleman should have, Corenth reveled in this moment, but soon he came back to his senses, and with a command, he took the caravan and set off to Mara Town.
The caravan round trip will take several days, after all, along the way those serfs need to recuperate their bodies, this is what Owen ordered in advance, so they can’t come back in a short period of time.
After temporarily dealing with the matter in hand, the idle Owen originally wanted to go to the Bison Baron’s territory to see the iron ore, but the cavalry all went with the caravan, now go is obviously not safe enough, so changed his mind and took Char to ride the heavily loaded magic sheep to the Magic Horn Forest.
Although the Magic Horn Forest wood fortress is exposed, but does not mean that Owen will give up operating here, after all, the construction of the territory is inseparable from the timber, so now the wood fortress is more like a lumberyard, most of the descended soldiers have been converted into system soldiers, the rest converted into farmers to act as lumberjacks here, every day will cut down a considerable number of trees, will be trimmed into timber, piled up in the open space, waiting for the territory of the people will be transported away timber .
Only the lack of a management person here, resulting in everyone will only act according to Owen’s previous orders, but the problem is that he himself is half a bucket of water, and not enough thorough consideration, inevitably there are some omissions, resulting in the felling efficiency of the wood fortress is not very high, so Owen has been hesitant to redeem a talent out of the system.
As for why he wants to exchange from the system, for one thing, there is a lack of talent in the north, and for another, there is a lack of the most basic trust, which makes Owen more inclined to the people in the system who are 100% loyal to him, after all, never mind the good or bad, it is always more trustworthy than outsiders, and loyalty is priceless.
In fact, Owen had always been very greedy for the famous generals and strategists in the Three Kingdoms, and instead had no feelings for the famous and famous people in the West, because he simply did not know who the other side was, of course, if he could redeem Jeanne d’Arc, this was counted as a statement he did not make.
Unfortunately, the human race and style is completely different from that world, even the painting style is different, resulting in the Three Kingdoms series of games, although a lot of open, but need to exchange the value of high as hell, otherwise Owen’s soldiers will not be predominantly imperial era soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers are so expensive, not to mention those famous generals and strategists, but the template is cheaper and less restricted.
In that case, Owen could choose to compromise and only exchange the templates instead of exchanging the entire Three Kingdoms’ famous generals.
This is a new problem, the template is not everyone can play out, their own ability is not enough will only drag down the potential of the template, otherwise Owen would have exchanged for the template of the ghost god Lu Bu to open the double.
From the Teutonic warrior such a fierce man’s force value of only fifty can be seen in the real Three Kingdoms generals in the end how powerful, to Owen’s current progress value of thirty points of the upper limit can not even exchange the first-class generals template.
After all, Owen exchange of the Three Kingdoms generals from the game, and not the real history, force value burst is normal, need progress value naturally quite a lot.
In fact, because of the numerous games in the Three Kingdoms series, some of the upper limits were indeed ridiculously high, such as the ghost god Lu Bu, peerless fierce generals, immortals, godly beasts and whatnot, it wasn’t that simple, but that made it even more appealing, okay.
