Episode 92. Time to grow (2)

That’s how the sparring ended.

The knight candidates watched the match and looked at them with expressions of respect and helplessness.

A strong amount of practice was assigned to create more respect.

I headed to the office with a happy heart.

I had to complete the blueprint to hand over to the blacksmith.

I took a cold shower and returned to the office.

“Even though I’m poor, I’m so poor. “More powerful and faster!”

I sat at my desk and thought about Youngji’s future.

This poor territory is too poor to be called capital.

Even without the monster forest, it was a territory that would soon be ruined.

I had to save this.

Although I am not a professional manager, I have to use everything I know.

“Eating, sleeping, and getting dressed are the most important. It will be resolved when the top comes… … “In the long run, agriculture and mining are the answer.”

This is the reason why the face was confiscated and extorted from the marquis’ territory.

“First of all, Rubedon Village and Yellowk Village are specialized complexes for Penincha, and Oderon Village and Nairis Village, which have wide plains, are specialized food production areas.”

I planned while looking at the map.

“Kafna Village and Iorion Village, which are close to the Monster Forest, are military base villages, and we will slowly examine the characteristics of the remaining villages. “Its nature is a commercial center.”

“Tomorrow, I will meet the chief of the village that produces penin tea and have a conversation… … .”

The schedule was tight.

Who said nobles are meant to eat and play?

It is an entertainment that only great nobles with strong fundamentals can enjoy.

Most nobles find it difficult to run their fiefdoms.

It is barely possible to maintain dignity by paying it back to the imperial family and great nobles.

Quite a few nobles fell into ruin every year.

While eating and playing, I couldn’t avoid being a beggar.

“We must use cattle to increase soil strength through deep plowing in winter and the use of compost.”

The main products are rye and barley.

It was resistant to cold and pests.

Production was high, so poor residents ate barley porridge or rye porridge instead of bread.

Soil improvement was also necessary.

It seemed like it would be possible to ferment horse, cow, and pig waste and use it as compost.

If managed well, it can also take care of the health of the territory residents through the supply of meat.

Although it is a small territory, self-sufficiency is possible through a specialized complex.

Ssuk suk.

I started designing it while thinking about the plow I saw at the school museum.

I only saw it once, but I remember it clearly.

After planning for an hour, the shape of a plow came out.

“Lord Perorin is busy, so I should go.”

He is a model of a good lord.

Instead of Sir Perorin, he visited the blacksmith shop with a blueprint.

“See you my lord!”

In the blacksmith shop, two blacksmiths were sweating as they separated scrap metal.

I was nervous when I showed up.

“It’s a lot of hard work.”

I could see the armor being separated into scrap metal.

It was pathetic.

I knew it well, but I had no idea it would be this serious.

Armor with a puncture in the chest area, temporary armor with broken chain mail, etc.

It was at a level that even the lowest level mercenaries would refuse.

“There are more than I thought.”

“After 30 years of working as a blacksmith, I got to touch so much iron. “Now I have no time to die even if I die!”

Is this something to be impressed by?

The blacksmith was dumbfounded by his tears.

“Can you make it like this?”

He handed me the plow blueprint.

The blacksmith who saw that tilted his head.

“My lord, this is a plow… … The shape is different from what we use. If I make it this way, I might be able to sell it more deeply… Is it really necessary? “There will be no one to drag you away.”

Since he was a blacksmith, he knew at a glance that it was a plow.

But I didn’t know the benefits of deep grinding.

There is a plow here too.

Because of the lack of horses, people carried them on their shoulders and plowed the fields.

“This is not something people will carry, but cows will use it. “Know that and make it strong enough to withstand the strength of the cow.”

“yes? Cow, cow? Can a horse or an ox pull it? “Is there any way to control those idiots?”

Cows were used only to produce meat or milk.

Since the Three Kingdoms period, our ancestors who have used the right-centered meditation method have become revered again.

“You will find out later. The thing to keep in mind is that it must be made strong.”

“yes! All right. “I will do my best to make it.”

After receiving a pledge from the blacksmith, I returned to the permanent residence.

At that time, Lord Perorin and two unfamiliar men were standing in front of the manor house.

“My lord. Where are you coming from?”

“I’m on my way back from the blacksmith shop. But who are these people?”

It’s not a noble outfit.

Two men wearing robes.

“I meet Count Frauche de Raisel, the eighth Spirit Master of the Empire.”

The form of greeting is unusual.

It was evident that he had dealt with a lot of nobles.

“We are Carmania top employees. “I was on my way here from Garion territory when I heard that the Count was looking for me.”

The business smile that appears on the faces of Carmanian merchants.

There was no difference in the way merchants treated people, whether on Earth or here.

“Let’s go inside.”

“thank you.”

I took the merchants with me and entered my office.

There is no need to talk long.

The more mysterious I was, the more advantageous I was in negotiations.

I sat down in as comfortable a position as possible and greeted the two merchants.

The basic attitude of an aristocrat without being cheap.

And he got straight to the point.

“It took a lot of hard work to come a long way.”

“No, Count.”

“It’s no different, I plan to invest a large amount of money in the territory this time. “We need your help.”

First, I brought up the topic of investment that would whet your appetite.

But your expression is not good?

The merchant opens his mouth as if he already guesses.

“I understand what you said, my lord, but… … We do not handle loans at our top. Even if a loan is possible, it is difficult without collateral.”

You guys haven’t heard anything about me yet.

Although the goods were brought back from the Marquis’ territory, it was clear that they paid a lump sum of money.

“Are our territory’s specialties not enough?”

I tried it a little bit.

“Penin tea is a specialty in this territory, but it will be difficult to do so. Loans without collateral are strictly prohibited by the owner of the upper chamber, the Marquis Odel de Carmania.”

Merchants sold their upper owners.

I, the Count and Spirit Master, am setting up a smokescreen to prevent you from threatening me.

Feeling slightly twisted.

These bastards saw me as being on the same level as Youngji, a beggar.

“I misunderstood what this lord said.”

“yes?”

“When did you say that you would borrow money from the top of Carmania and use it to fund the development of your territory?”

He set the mood with his cold eyes and low voice.

Merchants who realized something was wrong through intuition.

“My lord, we don’t mean that, we just mean…” … .”

“done. This time, I discovered a good gold mine and tried to sign an exclusive contract with your company. But I was hurt by the way you guys treated me and my territory like beggars. Get out of this territory right away. Right Now!”

He shouted loudly.

They didn’t know that it wasn’t a former baronial territory.

“Yes, my lord.”

“Please understand that your superiors cannot participate in this Penincha bidding competition.”

“!!!”

The results were announced coldly.

The merchants were perplexed.

If what I say is true, they are dead the moment they return to the top.

There are not many gold mines in the empire.

If they make a mistake and lose the gold mining monopoly, the Marquis will open fire.

Merchants are neither nobles nor knights.

In addition, if you can’t purchase penin tea, you will lose aristocratic customers.

Penin tea is more addictive than you might think.

“My lord! “Please forgive us for our ignorance!”

Clap!

The two merchants immediately kneel down.

I picked the wrong opponent.

It is not a rod like the former lord Baron Pnaini.

Life has been hard.

I’ve dealt with merchants and the like countless times.

If there’s one thing to take away, it’s the traitors who approach you in a friendly manner.

I have no intention of relieving this tension right away.

If you forgive me, you will see me as a nursing assistant.

“Lord Perorin, do something?”

“insect!”

“Please save me! Count, please!!!”

The merchants, lost in thought, fell to the ground and cried out for help.

Funny guys.

“When did I say I was going to kill you guys? Have you committed any mortal sin?”

I made a fool of myself.

Lord Perorin’s eyes met.

The driver showed a slight smile and then quickly joined in the rhythm.

“no. My lord said nothing. “I don’t really know why they do that.”

Sir Perorin is becoming my true right-hand man.

“I don’t care about your life or death. Stop talking nonsense and get out. “I’ll look for other hungry merchants!”

I pushed hard.

“We were absolutely wrong! If the Count forgives us, we will do our best to provide the supplies needed for the estate. So please forgive me just this once!”

The merchants properly raised the white flag.

“Hmm.”

He took the form as if he was in deep trouble.

If you bite into it, it loses its shape.

Merchants will know this too.

The fact that they are being treated harshly for belittling me.

“Is that true?”

After a pause, I asked.

As soon as the words were finished, the merchants’ faces brightened.

A merchant who loses in psychological warfare is like candy in the hand.

Now all that’s left to do is suck the piece.

“My lord, if you let me live, I will serve you very cheaply!”

The merchants knelt down and continued to bow to me.

I can feel Sir Perorin’s respect plus gaze.

Now it seems like they almost look at him as a god.

Of course, if this is seen often, it is not good for education.

“I will forgive you this once because of your sincere repentance.”

“thank you! thank you!”

What kind of gratitude?

“I will confirm with you before that.”

“???”

“Lord Perorin, take it from the archives.”

“Chuuuuung!”

They said they would get me there cheaply, but I couldn’t believe it.

The world is peaceful only when something comes.

Merchant men!

First, I will taste the mulberry before leaving.
