Take the Empire To the Other World

"As expected, it is a game scene mutated from horseback riding and slashing with fire and sword. The settings of the village, town, and main city are quite similar to those in the game..."

After reading the information about the administrative base, Wang Ziming put away his little thoughts and ordered the team to move on, heading towards that village!

Although the information on the administrative base is more detailed, there are some things that Wang Ziming still wants to verify with his own eyes.

When hundreds of teams carrying muskets came to this small village, they immediately frightened the serfs working on the surrounding farmland. They ran to the simple wooden fence outside the village in a panic, making panicked warning sounds from their mouths.

Before Zhao Ritian and his party entered the village, an old man dressed fairly clean came out surrounded by serfs.

On the left side of the old man was a strong man with a matchlock gun and a long sword on his waist, and on the right side was a low-ranking priest in church attire.

"May I ask why you came to our village?"

Under Wang Ziming's vision, the head of the old man displayed the words "elder of the village". According to the routine in the game, this should be the talker of the whole village.

The head of the middle-aged man with a musket on his waist and a long sword on his back marked the sheriff, and the head of the priest on the other side was a low-level priest.

Then Wang Ziming got a message that the five countries that ride horses and slash fire and swords all believe in God. The Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania, and Tsarist Russia believe in God.

In the Cossack emirates there are both those who believe in God and those who believe in Allah.

The Crimean Khanate believed in Allah...

However, in this game, the king's power is higher than that of the church, and the church is just a sacred political institution to appease the hearts of the people, which is placed under the secular rights.

Therefore, whether it is a village, town or main city, the rights of the clergy of the church are lower than those appointed by the king.

The elder of the village in front of him and the serfs in the village behind him were full of vigilance. They were unwilling to reveal their names, and even Zhao Ritian could feel the hostility shown.

After all, in the eyes of the village elders, Zhao Ritian and the god-favored man behind him belonged to another faction of order, which is commonly known as the 'foreign army'.

Any village with weak armed forces will probably not be in a good mood when encountering hundreds of foreign soldiers...

Although the army led by Zhao Ritian could easily occupy this village, they could not really conquer them, because this village was born by attaching to a nearby town. If they want them to recognize their right to rule, they must capture their direct subordinates. that town.

"Hello, we are tired from the journey and want to go to the village to have a rest."

According to Wang Ziming's instructions, Zhao Ritian replied blankly.

"Please forgive my rudeness, our place belongs to the territory of the great United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, you have no right to enter, and we have no extra rooms here to accommodate you."

The elder of the village refused in a blunt tone. It can be seen that the other party had taken great courage to say these words. After all, Zhao Ritian was followed by more than a hundred guns!

After a round of guns, they can almost go to see God...

However, under the order and camp rules of the different space, the authority of the country cannot be desecrated!

If he allowed foreign troops to settle in today, and was later reported to the town by the villagers, he, the elder of the village, would almost be able to retire...

Serious ones may even be punished!

The low-ranking priest next to him nodded in satisfaction when he heard the village elder's "righteous words" refusal, and took a step forward to show his support for the village elder.

On the contrary, the sheriff who had mastered the "highest force" in the whole village took a step back imperceptibly, and his eyes wandered around, as if looking for the best escape route...

As for the ordinary serf villagers, their attitudes were obvious, and they retreated in unison, as if they had the awareness to save their lives as soon as they drew their guns...

As a result, there were only three people left standing opposite Zhao Ritian, and one of them was still a little guilty, and the two sides' auras were judged!

The elders of the village didn't feel wrong about the behavior of the serfs behind them. After all, the power on the other side could indeed crush this village with only dozens of families.

However, the village elder is much more knowledgeable than the serfs. He knows that the "foreign army" on the opposite side dare not use force, otherwise it is equivalent to declaring war on the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania!

Although the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania is now 1v3, but the opponent's military strength does not seem too strong, the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania should not mind playing 1v4 for the sake of honor...

Well, this is all the self-imagining of the village elders...

"Then can I buy some food supplies from you guys?"

After the trial failed, Zhao Ritian made another request.

"sure."

After the village elder agreed with a smile, Wang Ziming immediately received a price list.

There are only two kinds of food supplies on it - cabbage and wheat...

This was not beyond Wang Ziming's expectations. After all, most of the village's production needed to be consumed by the serfs and villagers, stored for the food collection team, and handed over to the tax officials in the town!

There are very few things that can really be put up for sale.

However, seeing the price made Wang Ziming's face ache, a bag of wheat actually costs a gold coin, why don't you just grab it!

Cabbage costs two gold coins. How can you tell that cabbage is so much more expensive than wheat?

Wang Ziming felt as if he was being slaughtered as a fat sheep!

1 gold coin can hire a team of 10-person Tier 1 mercenaries, how can it be exchanged for a bag of wheat!

This price list can't help but remind Wang Ziming of the experience of being framed by Charak back then. This is definitely the result of the independent pricing by the village elders on the opposite side!

"Is the price too high?"

Zhao Ritian, who was instructed by Wang Ziming, asked with a dissatisfied face.

"Sorry, our harvest is not very good, and the food reserves are not sufficient, so the price will naturally be higher."

The elders of the village showed a regretful expression, as if lamenting the tragic situation of the grain shortage...

How fake it is!

Hearing this answer, Wang Ziming understood - the other party didn't want to do business with him at all!

Full of hostility...

Therefore, Wang Ziming asked Zhao Ritian to make the last test.

"Is there any young man in your village who is eager to go out and make contributions?"

"You are not from the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. According to the laws of the kingdom, I cannot let the boys from the village go with you. After all, they are all the property of the kingdom!

Of course, if the gods behind you are willing to join the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, you are always welcome in our village. "

The village elder replied solemnly.
