Lord of Rot

Chapter 107 Artisans and Slaves

Standing in the study room of Greenwood Castle.

Grandpa was the only one in the room, and this was the first time for the grandfather and grandson to talk quietly.

Knight Wisdom looked at him: "Aren't you going to stay longer? Stacy has a good impression of you, and Bode also likes you very much."

"I'd love to, but I'm a lord and need to stay within my realm."

Knight Wisdom said: "Pol Kein has six territories, but he only stays in the royal capital to drink."

"But he is the king" Li Qi was helpless.

As long as the country belonged to the king, it was the same wherever he was.

"Are you recruiting craftsmen in Linta Bay?" The knight changed the subject.

Li Qi knew that his purchase of craftsmen would definitely get into the ears of Green Forest Castle. He was already prepared for this and could just cry about being poor.

I am a grandson, so it’s okay to break my bones and connect my tendons, cry and ask adults for sweets.

"Grandpa, the Porcupine Territory is very poor. The soldiers still wear cloth armor. They need swords and armor. But there is only one blacksmith apprentice in my territory. He can only make hoes, and by the way, he can also make iron pots. He is also a carpenter. A dwarf, you have never seen how bad that place is. Not only is there no money, there are not enough people..."

The corners of Knight Wisdom's mouth twitched and he forcibly interrupted him: "You can recruit some craftsmen. In addition, you can tell me if you need anything. We are a family."

"Yes!" Li Qi nodded heavily: "I still need many people, of course they don't have to be farmers. Just give me slaves. Women and children don't matter."

"..." Knight Wisdom didn't expect that Li Qi would really climb up the pole.

"How many soldiers are there in the Porcupine Collar?"

Li Qi replied: "About a hundred."

The knight only thought that the hundred Li Qi said was plus all the militiamen: "I will give you 500 slaves. When the war broke out some time ago, there were about 3000 more slaves."

Li Qi really wanted to say, give it all to me, I want it all.

But he could only think about it. From the outside, how could the Porcupine Collar be able to feed 3000 slaves? There would definitely be a riot.

"Thank you grandpa, I will buy it at the original price."

"They're just some slaves, just a small gift from me." The knight paused for a moment and asked, "What do you think of Stacie?"

"..."

Li Qi did not answer, but looked at his grandfather.

I thought to myself: "Didn't you arrange it? If I said it wasn't suitable, you would definitely not agree."

Knight Wisdom smiled and said nothing.

"When you turn 20, I'm going to ask Stacie to go to your birthday party, and it better not look too bad with a porcupine collar."

Li Qi thought to himself: "I never plan to have any birthday party."

Porcupine Baron disdains extravagance and waste, and does not pay attention to cost performance at all.

But he could only say: "Yes!"

Leaving the study, Li Qi felt comfortable.

500 slaves, as well as craftsmen, had I known that chatting with grandpa would be so fun. He wanted to chat more. The population of the Porcupine Territory doubled just like that.

Coupled with the fact that Carrot and Little Joel purchased some seeds suitable for planting in the Porcupine Territory, as well as the supernatural corpse Aina, this trip was a huge profit.

Shortly after Li Qi left.

The study room of Greenwood Castle.

"What did he say?" Lewis asked his father.

“Nothing said”

"what!"

Lewis paused. The person in front of him was his father. He shrank his neck and said, "I saw him dancing with Stacie. They were chatting happily."

It's a pity to just let it go.

"They have a good impression of each other. Let Stacie go get a porcupine next year."

"He didn't refuse?" Lewis clenched his fists excitedly.

"That's right." Knight Wisdom seemed to be in a good mood.

"Then they should get engaged," Lewis said. "It would be best to get married this year."

He was too anxious.

"No, Li Qi will return to the Porcupine Territory tomorrow. He is a lord."

Knight Wisdom said: "That child has Lild's stubbornness and is very similar to Lild. He and Stacie may get along. Whether they are suitable for marriage depends on them."

When getting married, it is best to have complementary personalities. If two people are both strong, they will only have constant arguments and no one will bow.

Through observations over the past few days, Knight Wisdom discovered that Li Qi was a very strong person. Although he appeared gentle on the outside, he never gave in in character.

So does Stacie.

It is because of their love for Stacie that they allowed Stacie not to get married at the age of 20. If it was just to marry her off, they would be engaged when she attended the first ball, and she could not refuse.

"Let Stacie go to the Porcupine Collar next year," he said, "let her see it with her own eyes."

Lewis understood his father's words, and it turned out that he saw the shadow of Leard in Li Qi. This old man who was called "Crocodile Baron" by the outside world had not many people who admired him in his life, and Leard Clarence was one of them. Although they He doesn't have a temper to deal with, but he never belittles the other person.

Otherwise, the old crocodile would not agree to let his daughter marry Lild, who was not a lord at that time.

It seems that this time he has higher expectations for Li Qi because of Lild. Maybe he hopes to see a new Lild.

"The old man's sensibility is so troublesome sometimes," Lewis sighed inwardly, but his father had the final say in this family.

He could only hope that nothing would change within this year: "Yes, I will listen to you."

The next day, Li Qi got up early.

Today he will leave with the craftsmen, and the slave team will slowly go to the Porcupine Territory under the transportation of the slave steward. Although Li Qi specially emphasized not to be anxious, and must ensure that the people are alive, but in the end, whether the five hundred slaves can reach the Porcupine in one piece , he was very unsure.

It was unrealistic for him to lead this group of people, and the time spent on the road would be doubled, so he could only leave it to Green Forest Castle to help.

There were only a few carriages when we came, but when we returned there were already ten carriages.

There are some belongings of craftsmen here. They were tempted by Li Qi's high salary and decided to leave Lintawan, which was too competitive, and go to the countryside to get a high salary and retire leisurely.

But when they get there, they may be disappointed.

There are also several vehicles prepared with food, dry food and drinking water.

The most important thing are seeds, seeds of various flowers, and some flower and tree saplings. Honey is the biggest income source of the Porcupine Territory at present. It is very important to plant more flowers and try which nectar is more suitable for the Lurea continent.

There are also seeds of some crops.

When Li Qi saw his subordinate Luo Bao put a bag on his horse, he couldn't help but be curious: "What did you buy?"

"Sir!" Luobo said immediately, "It's honey locust. I want to buy some honey locust laundry detergent for my sister. It only costs ten copper stars to buy a bag! I plan to take some back, and maybe I can sell some for money."

"Very financially savvy, not bad."

Li Qi knew that he had a slave sister, and Luo Bao had been working hard to save money to get his sister out of slavery.

But what concerned him more was the honey locust. Pounding the honey locust and soaking it in water can be used to wash clothes. It is also the main way of washing clothes in Lurea continent.

Of course, some people don't want to spend extra money to buy soap locusts, so they choose to boil their clothes in a pot.

After preparations were completed, the team set off.
