Barony of Klevland, Brandon After listening to Butler's report, they paced back and forth, thinking about whether there was any conspiracy.
"Are you sure? They started buying grains half a month ago and there is no sign of stopping." The worried Brandon confirmed to his Butler again.
"Yes, sir, Lake of Star Prayer started purchasing grain on April 15th, and it is still going on now. The surrounding lords have raised the price to sell grain, and they have accepted the order." In response to his lord's inquiry, Butler patiently explained again.
"Is there something in this that I don't know about?"
After listening to Butler's words, Brandon murmured to himself and fell into silence again.
Since he was defeated twice at the hands of Velin·Exes, he paid special attention to this neighbor and did not let go of his every move.
"Sir, look, let's join this carnival, make a lot of money, and recover our health." Seeing Brandon not speaking for a long time, Butler asked in a low voice.
The last time the war broke out, Barony of Klevland almost didn't recover.
"Let me think about it for a while. There is no rush in advance."
Brandon couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, or to imitate his opponents and purchase grain.
"Dong dong"
A knock on the door interrupted Brandon's thinking.
"Come in."
The valet outside the door heard Brandon's voice, opened the door gently, bent down to salute, and respectfully reported, "Master, this is news about the territories of three nobles Violet, Caisley and Barry. Please take a look."
Butler stepped forward to take the letter from the servant, waved him away, and then gave it to Brandon.
Opening the letter and reading it carefully, Brandon discovered that his three neighbors, Caisley and Barry, were purchasing grain, while Violet was still in the wait-and-see stage.
"Old Burr, we also buy food from other noble territories." After making some decisions in his heart, Brandon decided to take a gamble, and his subconscious told him that he should do this.
"Sir, how much is appropriate to purchase?" Butler asked.
"A ration of one kilogram for 20,000 people should be purchased according to this standard."
"Yes."
Butler bent down to salute and was about to leave the study when Brandon continued.
"Food is cheaper if you go further away."
"Yes, sir."
After the butler left, Brandon sat in his seat, read the information again, and said to himself, "I hope I did the right thing."
Time flies by, and more than three months have passed.
Three days ago, Weilin received another reminder from destiny, and Weilin received important news.
[Kurze Province Rando City Third District No. 76 There is a book written by Stranger hidden under the house.]
As far as Velin knows, Kurze Province is located in the kingdom of Central Region, a province under the jurisdiction of the royal family. It is roughly north of his hometown West River Province, and belongs to the border province between the Isia Kingdom and Iron Forge Dwarven Mountain Kingdom. It is three provinces away from Cadro Province.
The distance is too far, so we can only put it aside for the time being and explore the matter later.
As usual, Velin was sweating on Training Ground, honing his combat skills, and training himself Knight Squire.
After his own guidance, Kyle has been successfully promoted to Bronze Knight, which can be regarded as officially entering his career.
After finishing the morning training, I found that Belder had been waiting for a long time.
"What's the matter?" Velin asked while wiping the sweat off his body.
Belder heard this and replied, "Lord, I have three things to report to you."
"First, five Blue Luo grass plantations have been completed. It is expected that the first batch of Blue Luo grass can be harvested in the second half of this year in October. However, we lack the necessary Blue Luo Potion preparation skills and need to hire magicians to solve the problem.
"Plant it first, and I'll take care of the preparation process. "Without any hesitation, Velin made the decision.
"First, according to your instructions, 30,000 people have three years of rations. Based on the ration of 300 kilograms per person per year, the plan is to purchase 13,500 tons. Now we have purchased 2,000 tons of wheat, 5,000 tons of Bean Potato, 500 tons of rye, 3,500 tons of Black Beans, a total of 11,000 tons, costing Eleventh Street million Gold Coin. Including your private treasury, all the liquidity in the territory has been exhausted. Do you still need to continue to purchase grain?"
"Let's pause now. There should be enough food now. After a few months, we can earn back the money we spent and replenish the population. Don't worry now. "After thinking for a while, Velin quickly made a decision.
"In this case, I will suspend the purchase of food."
Belder replied immediately, and then went on to report the third matter.
"Early this morning, I received an official letter from the province. It was issued in the name of His Excellency Maidmonchi·Colombo, the head of the Kingdom Sixteenth Knight Order. Please read it."
Velin recalled the news that his aunt Flora told him three months ago, and then received the official letter.
I saw a letter mixed with it, Velin immediately put it away and put it in his trouser pocket, and then read the contents of the official letter.
"Recommended by Sixteenth Knight Order Third Regiment captain Kadeqi·Exes, the kingdom Sixteenth Knight Order hereby expresses its gratitude to Pioneer Knight Velin·Exes issued an invitation, please lead ten cavalry and two hundred infantry to Cadro Province border Luoyun Slope for assembly before August 15th."
"Belder, I will transfer five Knight Squire and a squadron of infantry from your hands, and then transfer fifteen Knight Squire and three squadrons from Orlando. They will be in place at the military camp tomorrow morning and will be trained by me personally."
Velin handed the official letter to Belder for inspection, and then issued the order.
After carefully reading the official letter, Belder immediately asked, "Lord, do you need to transfer a few more Silver Knights?"
"No, if I take away one of the three troops, there will inevitably be a gap in the security of the territory. I can rest assured if they stay."
"Lord, I understand."
After Belder left, Velin opened the letter and read it carefully.
"Dear Velin:
It has been three months since we last saw each other, and I miss you ten times.
In this military operation, the main force is Kingdom Knight Order. There is no danger, please rest assured.
In addition, I have already taken care of the supplies for you. All you need to do is bring enough troops.
Be prepared. When the time comes, my brother will create an opportunity for you to meet our leader Maidmonchi·Colombo alone to help you establish contact with him.
Signed by: Flora. "
"It seems that we need to be well prepared this time. At least these two hundred infantrymen have to completely change their equipment."
After folding the letter, Velin put on his coat and returned to the study to make a one-month training plan for two hundred soldiers, striving to improve their strength to a higher level before the military operation begins.
