Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming
Chapter 48 The Currens Family
Corens carefully arranged his appearance and adjusted his breathing before knocking on the door of the lord's room under the gaze of the two Teutonic warriors. As soon as he entered, he saluted with an impeccable posture and greeted him.
"Greetings to you, my lord."
"Good afternoon, Baron Corrence, please take a seat." Owen raised his head and pointed to the seat next to him.
Although the etiquette accepted by Collens is that when facing a superior, a subordinate needs to stand aside with an erect posture and a slightly lowered chin to show respect. However, if the superior asks you to sit down, no matter how many reasons there are, you must sit down first. Even if you have hemorrhoids, you have to sit down with blood in your eyes and smile, and look flattered at the same time. As for what to do if your pants get wet, just try to rub them forward when you get up and wipe them clean.
"I have seen your performance during this period. It is very good. You are capable, ambitious, and not lacking in patience." Curranth is more than ten years older than Irving, but Irving still looks like an elder. tone, but neither of them felt anything was wrong.
Many times, the gap in status can offset many things, such as age, ability, and experience. Even a young boy who knows nothing can train a group of elite white-collar workers to follow him as long as he wears the title of general manager. Like a grandson.
Here, the gap in status is even more terrifying. In your previous life, even if you couldn't help but punch that careless bastard, you would have lost your job and been imprisoned in the police station for two days at most. But here, the price for daring to offend the superior regardless of status is your family. The fate of young and old is the enemy of the entire class.
Currens has long been accustomed to this status gap, and is in awe and anticipation, waiting to one day become one of the feared ones. Therefore, he will not break it, but will only obey. This is why Irving dares to use him.
"Next, I decided to hand over the management of the territory's commerce to you, mainly responsible for the purchase of serfs and commercial exchanges. Of course, the territory is still in a very primitive stage, and there is almost no commercial soil. However, with the development speed of the territory, it is not possible to How much time will be left for you, so your task is not easy. You must find out the territory within one or two years, and the commercial exchanges between the Northland and the empire's border to lay the foundation for the next trade development." Irving deliberately emphasized in the Northland tone.
Curranth was obviously a speculator who was good at thinking and knew how to seize opportunities. He immediately realized what Owen meant, and his heart no longer felt the desolation he had just heard about being responsible for the territory's trade.
The nobles on the northern border are a bunch of poor people, and they have no business dealings with them. They prefer to snatch and steal things they like, so Owen is alluding to the barbarians of the northern region.
In fact, trading with the barbarians in the north is no secret. The best furs in the north always come from the barbarian tribes in the north, not to mention gold nuggets and gems, which are directly equated with wealth.
In some ways, the Northland is not barren. In addition, the vast land and sparse population have not been developed at all, resulting in wealth everywhere. From time to time, it is not uncommon for someone to pick up large pieces of natural nugget gold and gemstones. It’s just that It is difficult to develop this wealth in a concentrated manner, coupled with the long distance and high cost, this is the reason why the development of Northland is slow.
However, due to the preferences of imperial merchants, the barbarians in the North have now begun to consciously collect gold and gems, so don't think that the other party has no money just because they are wearing shabby clothes.
Even in the previous life, there were many professional beggars who took out their BMW keys directly after get off work.
Next, Owen rewarded him with several sets of exquisite aristocratic costumes and a fine white war horse as a reward. After all, he would be the face of the territory to the outside world, and dressing decently was the standard.
The team will not leave now. Irving needs to prepare goods, so Currens can just go home and wait for departure.
When he walked out of the town center, he didn't let the servants touch him at all. He held his clothes in one hand and held the white horse in the other, and returned home in a ridiculous manner.
Owen knew the importance of talents, not to mention that Currens was not only a talent, but also the first nobleman to seek refuge with him. In order to play the role of buying horse bones for a thousand gold, he would naturally not let him live in the longhouse, but The farmer was immediately asked to build a villa, and a lot of building materials were specially exchanged for this purpose.
The villa is mainly composed of a two-story building with a mezzanine balcony, which is where the owner lives. Behind it are two long brick houses, which are not only the residence of the servants, but also the kitchen, warehouse, and stables. Everything the owner does not want to see is here. Then surround it with a fence and leave an open space in front that can be used as a lawn or garden.
The place is not big, and in the Empire it would be the residence of a country knight at most. But in the Northland, it is definitely high-end. At least Corrence's wife has not stopped decorating the house since she came here.
"My dear, you're back, oh what is this!?" A fair-skinned and beautiful lady opened the door. When she saw the clothes that Corens was holding, she immediately exclaimed, with her hands folded on the On her towering chest, she used this to express how shocked she was. Her movements were a little exaggerated, but there was a sense of joy in them. She didn't look like a mother of two children at all.
Curranth's wife Katie is the daughter of a knight in the country. She looks pretty good, but her character is not calm enough and she is always startled. However, Curranth just likes her character because she is so understandable. Everything is written on their faces, so the relationship between the couple is not bad, and they have a daughter and a son.
"Where are Keira and Kermi?" Curranth kissed his wife, then handed the clothes she had carried to the excited Katie, and asked the servant to take the white horse to the stable and feed it with warm water and good feed. .
"Kyla is practicing swordsmanship in the back, and Kermi hasn't woken up from his nap yet." Katie happily walked into the room holding the clothes, admiring the exquisite patterns on the clothes, and said to Collens.
Keira is the eldest daughter of Corrence. Since she was a child, she learned swordsmanship from a retired knight at her maternal grandfather's house. Therefore, she has a relatively old-fashioned and conservative personality. She cannot stand her father's pursuit of fame and fortune, and she wants to become a knight loyal to her master. Therefore, He doesn't have much communication with his parents and prefers to practice swordsmanship alone.
Kermit is the eldest son of the two, but he is only three years old, which is the age for snoozing.
"Then don't disturb the two of them." With the help of the servant, Corens took off his riding boots, took off his sword and hung it on the wall, and said to his wife with a gentle movement.
"Okay, so these clothes are also given by the lord?" Katie asked with a pair of big eyes flashing expectantly, because in addition to two sets of men's clothes, there are also two sets of skirts, one large and one small, obviously for her and her daughter. prepare.
Curranth suddenly felt sad. Maybe he had brought too little to his wife and his two children.
"Yes, today the lord appointed me to be in charge of the territory's trade. I will leave for Mara Town in the next two days. It will take a lot of days, but there may be more rewards when I come back." Corens said to his wife gently. .
"The Lord is really kind!" Katie squinted her big eyes and smiled as innocently as she did when the two first met.
Maybe he was the only one who had changed over the years. Looking at his wife's smile that was still the same as in his memory, Kerens suddenly thought.
But what the lady said is indeed true, the lord is indeed kind, at least Collens has never seen it.
