I Want To Be a Nobleman

With the help of Ramon, Harold returned to the Kingdom of Corondo smoothly. Marcus was very happy to see him safe and sound. He was even happier when he saw Harold's goods, whether it was dwarven equipment or food. , slaves, he needs them all.

Harold smiled wryly and sold it to Marcus at a friendly price. The goods with a total price of about 80,000 gold coins were only sold for 50,000, and only 30,000 were earned after deducting the cost.

There is no way, Marcus spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the Sun Orb, and now he has no rich money, and he still has a huge army of thousands of people to support, and the monthly expenses are huge. After the fire city was destroyed, he could barely do it. to break even.

Marcus also asked him the question of doing business with the demihumans. Now that the Kingdom of Corondo is preparing to formally do business with the demihumans, Marcus does not know much about business, so he wants to ask Harold about the details of the component caravan.

Harold did not reveal all the secrets, nor did he share his business channels. This is not a matter of selfishness or selfishness. He can hand over part of the money he earns to Marcus, but he can’t let Marcus’s own The caravans are so developed that they overwhelm Harold's own caravans.

It's still the same reason, Marcus will trust himself and his power very much, but what about Marcus's future descendants?

He was not Marcus's knight in this life, and he planned to become a nobleman in the future. Even if the two formed an alliance at that time, their interests would not always be consistent.

The scale of the caravan formed by Marcus was not very large. After all, he had never done business with Asians before. He had to send envoys to establish a relationship.

Harold also began to think about his next business route. Now that he was at war with several other human kingdoms, large-scale trade was out of the question. At most, he could do a small business with Ramon.

Your own caravan also has to do business with the demihuman kingdom, so which race should you trade with?

The lizard people are ruled out first, the Dragon Kingdom is very xenophobic and rarely communicates with the outside world, plus the relationship between the lizard people and humans is not good, the orcs, humans, and lizard people fought too fiercely thousands of years ago, blood feuds are not that good resolve.

The nearby large kingdoms have only two alliances of mixed races, the Wingman Dynasty, and the halfling country "Kingdom of Leia", and the Dwarf Kingdom that has been there before.

The Kurt Alliance has the friendship of the dwarf aunt Daphne, and the Wingman Dynasty also has the winged princess Sha Duoer. The halflings are hospitable and hospitable, and the Dwarf Kingdom is an old acquaintance. They all seem to be good trading partners.

After thinking for a long time, Harold decided to choose the Wingman Dynasty. The Wingman Dynasty has a large area, a large population, and a large size, and it does not have to go around the territory of other human countries like the Dwarf Kingdom.

The most important thing is that with the princess Sha Duoer, it must be smooth sailing and no worries. Maybe I can even meet the Queen of the Winged Man!

Harold set up a big flag to determine the target of the next trade.

Harold sent people to find out what the Yiren liked, and asked the merchants of the chamber of commerce to make purchases across the country, and at the same time began to replenish troops.

Harold focused all his attribute points on charisma. Charm and intelligence are difficult to increase with time, and there is no need to wait until adulthood to add them. The skill points are [trading] and [dominance] to lv8.

The current Harold's attributes are Strength 21, Dexterity 11, Intelligence 10, Charm 25, and his weapon proficiency has not been accumulated any more. In this life, Harold is still preparing to use a big sword, and his two-handed weapon proficiency has reached 220.

Domination lv8, charm 25, Harold can recruit 105 system soldiers, and lv8 domination can reduce 40% of salary, plus the "market" of the forging city is completed, now the monthly dinar The income is as high as 6,000, even if you pay the wages of so many soldiers, you still have the money to build buildings.

Harold's dinar deposit at this time is as high as 20,000. The Forge City is building a "new farmland" that can increase food production in nearby territories by 20%. Now that the price of food in Corondo has skyrocketed, Harold has to consume extra to make wine For food, it is necessary to build such a building that increases food production.

His original plan was to build a "tax office" after the completion of the market. This building could increase his income in dinars by about 1,000, but unfortunately the plan could not keep up with the changes.

The remaining dinars Harold did not spend indiscriminately on the construction of system buildings in those impoverished territories. Only 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins were spent on building buildings to increase their monthly income by dozens of points.

The equipment on him and Rand is not the most luxurious, but the most cost-effective. If you buy all the equipment with the highest defense, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dinars, and the defense power can be piled up to more than 150.

Harold didn't plan to buy wearing equipment for Sha Duo'er, even the +10 defense "rag three-piece set" he eliminated. These three pieces of equipment cost only a dozen dinars in the system store, so they just kept it. commemorate.

Rand is his son in the previous life, and his younger brother in this life. He grew up together with deep feelings, and Rand trusts him very much. Obviously, the territory is jointly controlled by the two, but he has always been the master of big and small things. He is upright, Kind, obedient and sensible.

What about Sha Duoer? In addition to her low liking and mediocre intimacy, Harold also has a big question mark over her personality!

When Sha Duoer first became a teammate, his level was lv1, but now he is at lv10. How many lives did this kill? It's less than a month away! Either this princess had a penchant for killing life, or she was involved in some war.

Harold's impression of Sha Duoer dropped sharply, whether it was killing people like hemp or being brutal and warlike.

Now that Harold's income has skyrocketed, and he has a high-level command salary reduction, he directly recruited all 40 [noble recruits] in the territory, and filled the remaining places with [Corondo recruits].

Rand can also help with military training. Rand's intelligence has been raised to 9 points by Harold, and he has a lv3 [coach]. Although his own strength is not strong enough, the training efficiency is not as good as that of Harold, who is also a lv3 [coach]. The same can be of great use.

It took more than two months for Harold's original injuries to heal, and 40 noble recruits were upgraded to [Noble Knight Attendants], with strength 18, agility 18, all combat skills lv6, and weapon proficiency 180.

If Harold removes the equipment in the equipment column and the invincible armor on his body, it will be really difficult to fight these [noble knight attendants]. It will take a long time to win by skill and experience.

After all, although the attributes are similar, Harold's combat skills are too low, and they are all at the level of lv1~lv3.

Those [Corondo recruits] were all trained to become [Corondo infantry], and a few with high comprehension were promoted to [Corondo iron guards] and [Corondo cavalry].

Time has dragged on for a long time, and Harold has no time to spend another month or two training those soldiers to the highest level. After all, the mainstream arms after that will be the powerful "noble-type" arms, and those "novice-type" arms will be upgraded to [Corondo Iron Guard] and [Colondo Cavalry] must be eliminated in the end.

As for [Aristocratic Knight's Attendant], it's too much effort to upgrade. Rand himself is not strong enough to beat [Noble Knight's Attendant], and he can't give them experience in training.

Harold can barely win. If he trains seriously alone, he should be able to upgrade one or two [Noble Knights] a month, but just having powerful attributes and skills is useless without combat experience and skills.

It's better to let them go through battles first, accumulate some skills and experience, and kill some enemies to gain experience points, which can also reduce their training pressure.

Marcus's caravan has already set off and is heading for the Dwarf Kingdom. Harold still couldn't bear to see Marcus suffer, so he arranged for his caravan to give his caravan some high-quality wine from the Forge City as a gift. There are systematic buildings The "wine cellar" is here, and these drinks should help them establish a good relationship with ordinary dwarves.

In this way, even if the caravan can't make money, it can at least complete the task of purchasing food and supplies. Harold is also preparing to form another caravan. Both Lucius and Rand can read "The Life of the Silver Fox Tycoon". Harold plans to let them take charge of the caravan trade with those relatively stable countries in the future.

For example, the dwarf kingdom covered by the dwarf elder brother Brian, or go to Earl Ramon after the war.

Harold brought Lucius with him on this trip. Rand is 17 years old like him, and his intelligence points are high. He is no longer the stupid "I want to eat barbecue" and can manage the affairs of the territory well.

Bring Lucius to let him get in touch with business running in advance to prepare for the establishment of a second caravan later.

However, Bias and Tiona did not go together this time. Bias bought a lot of rare herbs and was going to develop some new medicines. Tiona felt that running a business was too boring. During the several months of travel, Except for a few battles and dwarven fairs, it was sleeping in the wagon that suffocated her.

Harold is heartbroken, this violent woman's EQ is too low! It's rare that Bias doesn't come together, we can get along alone in a carriage, why don't you cherish the opportunity to take me down, I don't have any other women now!

You will regret it later, you can only share me with 11 other people!

Harold pouted and made a fuss. The last time I lay down, I felt that the two girls were awkward together. This time, I can only be with Kent, the muscular brother, and Lucius, the middle-aged uncle. Is there any embarrassment? No more, only sadness!

The caravan set off early in the morning. This time the scale was larger. To respond to Princess Yiren’s invitation to do business, the ostentation had to be a little bigger. We couldn’t let the Yiren Dynasty underestimate themselves. Stable trade.

Harold brought a total of 400 people. In addition to 100 system soldiers, there were also 200 ordinary soldiers. He brought over a group of veterans from the Forge City. These veterans could not only fight wars, but also work part-time as coachmen. , the amount of goods is very sufficient, and I asked many civilians of the Yi Terran in the territory, and Harold can be considered to know their preferences.

This time the goods were pulled over, relying on Princess Yiren's face and his lv8 [trading] skills, it's unreasonable not to make a lot of money!

When you come back, you can also make a lot of money by purchasing a large amount of grain, but it is a pity that grain consumes too much cargo space. Although the price of grain in the Kingdom of Corondo has doubled, the grain brought back is at most Earn 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins.

After all, no matter how much food is lacking, it is still lacking for the common people and slaves at the bottom. Nobles and their troops can just forcefully requisition without food. It is impossible for the common people to be hungry. Too high a price.

Thinking of this, Harold feels a little uncomfortable. It is still too laborious to rely on land transportation. There are not few rivers in this world but they are not systematic. It is difficult to develop water transportation. I don’t know how far it is from the sea, or whether there is any the sea?

This trade trip is bound to have an accident, full of flags!
