More than a month has passed since Black Tea Tree was planted in the mangrove canyon.
During this period, Velin would inspect the Blackhide Pork Pig ranch and the Luoniu Camel Beast ranch almost every day. From time to time, he would visit Green Vine Mountain and the mangrove Manor to understand the status of these four animals and plants.
As the four pillars of the territory Future, there is no room for him not to care so much.
If something went wrong during cultivation and the crops died, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
A few days ago, a Gold-tier soldier from the South Kuhl Merchant Guild came to Lake of Star Prayer, took six thousand bottles of Ice Blue Magic Potion by himself, left eighteen thousand bottles of Gold Coin, and left here.
Looking at the Space Equipment carried by the other party, Velin was very envious.
A Space Equipment that is only one cubic meter is priced at upwards of 200,000 Gold Coin, and there is often no way to buy it.
"Lord, a knight claiming to be Kingdom Sixteenth Knight Order is asking for an audience." Kyle entered the study and reported to Velin.
"Let him in."
Ten minutes later, after an inspection, a blue knight entered the study, beat his chest and saluted. "Lord Velin, I am the financial secretary of Sixteenth Knight Order, and I was also the apprentice of Lord Maidmonchi. You can call me Kark."
"Kark, welcome."
Velin asked Kyle to prepare tea, and then invited Kark to sit down in the guest room next to him.
"Maidmonchi is doing well lately."
Hearing this, Kark said gently, "Master went to lead Knight Order to support the border of the kingdom and made great achievements. The military department has upgraded Sixteenth Knight Order to the third level Silver Knight Order. He is busy expanding Knight Order's personnel."
"Congratulate your Excellency Maidmonchi for me."
Velin did not know how many Silver Knight Order Ilia Kingdom had, but he knew the classification of Silver Knight Order.
Silver Knight Order is divided into five levels from low to high, namely Ados, Loman, Saint Clo, Calilan, and the highest level, Micah, is named after the king with the most outstanding contributions in the five generations of the Ilia Kingdom.
As for the structure of other levels of Silver Knight Order, Velin is not very clear, but he knows the real structure of Micah-level Silver Knight Order.
A Micah-level Silver Knight Order has one Soul Intent-tier Knight Order Commander, three Soul Intent-tier Knight Order deputy leaders, and one Gold-tier knights, one thousand Silver Knight, three thousand Bronze Knight, and five thousand high-level Knight Squire, as well as a full Silver-tier priest team of three people.
Ex Family has three Micah-level Silver Knight Orders. The most powerful one is in the hands of his own brother Angus, who named it Eagle Knight Order. He can only command this Knight Order in the name of Eagle Count.
The other two are in the hands of Count Andusi Oster and Hurricane Count Ivileos respectively.
As for how other Micah-level Silver Knight Orders configure their logistics, he doesn't know, but one of the Soul Intent-tier deputy leaders of Eagle Knight Order holds a large storage item Space Ring, which supports the logistics operation of the entire Knight Order.
It was impossible to support this Knight Order with territorial taxes alone. As far as he knew, there was no powerful aristocratic force that could support a Micah-level Knight Order with its own territory tax. They almost all relied on the income from the family industry to support their own troops, which also increased the Knight Order's loyalty.
In fact, Velin is very confused about the tax collection measures of the Ilia Kingdom.
Some nobles of Count and below can only rely on squeezing the territory and squeezing the bones and marrow of Citizens to maintain their noble reputation and family power. For an Baron Territory land with a population of only 20,000, it is outrageous that he can squeeze out 50,000 or 60,000 Gold Coin at one time.
Most of the nobles of Count and above impose medium or low taxes on their territories, and evenly distributed to each Citizens is less than five Silver Coin, because the tax on each of their territories is less than one-tenth of the total income.
It can be said that no one in a respectable and prestigious noble family lives on taxes.
Moreover, the higher the Peerage, the more powerful the family, and the more they must maintain their own face, at least on the surface, they must treat the people of their territory well.
"Sir, I am here this time to conduct transactions with you on behalf of my master and Sixteenth Knight Order." Kark looked at Velin in trance and said softly.
"Oh, ." Weilin came out of his thoughts and said to Kak, "How much ice blue potion can you take in a year?"
Seeing that the other party was blaming the problem on himself, Kark was not angry, and said calmly, "Sir Vera, Knight Order has recently expanded its personnel, and the military expenditures provided by the superiors are limited. We can purchase up to two thousand bottles of leftover."
"But don't worry, after a few years, Knight Order's expansion is completed and military expenditures increase, Magic Potion's purchases will definitely increase." Kark added, fearing that the other party would be dissatisfied.
"Kark, I'm not angry." Velin waved his hand and said, "Buying and selling this kind of thing requires your consent. In addition, Maidmonchi is helping me, so I won't be so petty."
"Ice Blue Magic Potion, South Kuhl Merchant Guild. The purchase price is three Gold Coin per bottle. Can you accept it?"
"No problem, we totally accept it."
Kark replied immediately, and then took out six thousand-denomination cards Gold Note and put them on the table.
"Kyle, pack two thousand bottles of Ice Blue Magic Potion."
"Yes, Lord."
Then the two chatted for another half an hour, when Kyle came in and reported that all the goods had been loaded on Carriage, and Kark immediately submitted his resignation.
Velin tried to persuade her to stay, but when she saw her refusal, she personally sent her away Lake of Praying Stars.
In the study room, Velin had just sat down when he saw Kyle walking in quickly.
"Lord, Lord Belder sent someone to report that Cadro Province Governor's son Kazak has arrived at Star Prayer Town and wants to see you, as well as the arrogant aristocratic son from Mangrove Canyon a month ago."
"There's no rush, just leave him alone and say I have something to do, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes."
Star Prayer Town In a Inn room, Kazak received the message from [the other party] with a somewhat sullen expression on his face.
"Cousin, this country bumpkin looks down on you, how dare he neglect you like this." After the attendant left, Charles couldn't help but encourage him.
"Shut up." Kazak scolded Charles, "You are a loser and have no eyesight. Otherwise, why would labor and management come to this place?"
"Cousin, you..."
"Shut up from now on. There is news from my uncle that if you can't get forgiveness from the other party, just prepare to be a pig for the rest of your life." As soon as Kazak finished speaking, he ignored the other party and left the room.
Charles After hearing this, he sat down on the ground, his eyes dull.
"I don't want to be a pig, I don't want to be a breeding tool."
"I've just started. I don't want it, I don't want it."
The door banged, awakening Charles, and couldn't help but crawl on the ground and cry.
