Chapter 509: Warning From the Earl

The adventurers seemed to take Ophelia's warning very seriously and returned to the camp to discuss countermeasures.

Field was unable to hear their conversation and immediately commanded the Crow to leave.

The next morning.

While Field was eating breakfast, he planned the placement of the windmill and waterwheel.

The river blockage in the Morning Veil Territory has been resolved, and the rivers in the Night Veil Territory have also become smoother. The use of water conservancy has become the future development direction.

Breakfast is "pasta", of course, it just looks like it.

My own chefs are the most innovative people in the night collar. Originally, I only taught them ramen, but they insisted that the flour should not be mixed with soup and water, but should be poured with honey beef sauce and vegetables. Decorate.

"Good day, Lord Baron. Here is your letter."

A maid came over and handed the envelope respectfully: "It's Mr. Conkins. The caravan he led returned to Night Territory last night and brought back a letter for you."

Kang Jinsi is the leader of the caravan and leads the second caravan of the Night Leader.

"Gold-plated envelope, who is so rich? Could it be that some nobleman has taken a fancy to me and asked me to be his son-in-law."

Brushing over the pattern of the envelope, the luxurious golden lines on it were not painted with paint, but with real gold, a wild boar with four tusks was painted on it.

After thinking wildly for a while, Field opened the envelope, took one look at it, and put down the silver fork in anger.

"What the fuck, I shouldn't be distracted by other things while eating."

Letter content:

To Baron Field.

We order you to immediately stop the offensive behavior of selling salt mines.

Your presumptuous move to set foot in the salt mine has seriously infringed upon Earl Pig's legitimate interests.

Please stop your immoral, greedy and vicious business immediately. The tolerant Earl Pig will forgive your rude behavior, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!

Porcupine family, financial consultant ghostwriting.

"What the hell, you dare to order me." Field laughed angrily, the murderous intent in his eyes undisguised, "I just sell a small amount of refined salt, and I actually got a letter from the earl."

The little maid on the side was too frightened to breathe.

Most of the output of the Nightfall Salt Mine is supplied to its own territory. Only a small number of top salt mines are sold to nobles, who can earn 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins a month after deducting costs.

Unexpectedly, this can be warned.

What’s even more annoying is that the only salt on the market is the coarse salt that ordinary people eat, and the slightly better fine salt. Their refined salt has nothing to do with them.

Field was so angry that he finished his words in a few words, put away the letter, tore off the seal on the envelope, and stuffed it into the hands of the little maid.

"The gold on it is hot. I'll give it to you to play with. Please help me take care of the flowers in the backyard and don't let them die." After saying that, Field immediately went to the city hall.

Since the other person doesn't respect you, you don't need to respect him.

Field just went out.

"Huh~ I was scared to death. I thought you were going to beat me." The little maid stuck out her tongue and her eyes were filled with little stars. "You are so kind, sir."

She looked around to make sure she hadn't been seen by other maids, so she hid it carefully.

Arriving at City Hall, Field immediately met with Conkins.

"Sir, we bought back twenty steel-backed pigs at the price of fifteen gold and sixty silver coins, all of which are first-level creatures. In addition, there are twelve cartloads of beer, food, clothes, magic cores and various supplies. The total cost is two thousand one hundred gold."

"Soap has become popular in the Lik Province. It is said that merchants in the royal city want to buy it. From happy beans, soap and salt, our total income is 89,000 gold coins."

They are all huge profits with ultra-low cost and huge income. They can be called the three magic gods of the night economy.

Kang Jinsi handed over the goods list and profit and loss statement again, and said with a flattering look: "The income is much higher than the expenditure. Sir, you have won the favor of the goddess of wealth."

"Very good, send the steel-backed pig to the expanded stable." Field glanced at the list, but there was no accounting problem.

From now on, the giant wolves will have daily rations.

"By the way, who gave you this letter."

"They are the knights of Earl Pig." Kang Jinsi wiped cold sweat, "They call themselves the Fang Knights and want to inspect our goods. We are worried that they are jealous of property and will cause you losses, so we surrounded the car wall and set up spears, determined to resist in the end."

"Fortunately, they were afraid of the majesty of the adults and left after being forced a few times." Kang Jinsi was still frightened, and beads of sweat dripped down her face unconsciously.

This is almost a steal!

Field narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: If he doesn't reply, they will definitely do evil next time.

"For the sake of safety, you should take a detour on the next trade trip. Don't go to Earl Pig's territory. I will also strengthen the security force. In addition, I will start to solve the problem."

Field always has clear rewards and punishments: "Everyone in the team, including the workers who move boxes, will get one gold coin. You are the team leader, and you will get five."

"Thank you for your understanding." Kang Jinsi was happy to thank her, and she could buy a house with five gold coins at night.

The current empire has fallen into darkness and is full of madmen and monsters. Running a business is a hard work, and you should get more money.

"Sir, who is this Earl Pig?" Asuna, who was waiting quietly, asked in confusion.

"Among the three earls of the Rick Province, the one with the fastest decline and the weakest strength is the Porcupine family."

"His grandfather is the famous God of War: Porcupine Knight, who is of the same generation as the Bloody Rose of the Rose family. However, he himself is very bad. It is said that he likes to eat women and is an out-and-out prodigal."

"So that's how it is. My Lord likes to eat it, too?" Asina covered her mouth and laughed.

"Ahem, we eat differently. Don't talk about such a scary topic."

Field was almost choked to death. He pondered for a moment: "It's impossible to give up the refined salt trade, but our focus now must be on the next rebellion."

"What should we do?"

Field took out a feather pen and dipped it in ink: "Negotiate first. It would be best if we can convince him. If we can't convince him, we have to delay. Now is not the time to create a conflict. The rebellion is just around the corner. I will definitely take a large number of troops with me."

If I'm not there, the Night Territory will be attacked, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Also, Asina, transfer all the wolf-like people from the first and second armies, train them all in cavalry, and expand the light cavalry. Now that the infantry has the corpse of the little fat dragon, there is no need to keep so many infantry."

Field grinned: "It just so happens that the excellent war horses obtained in the border battle have adapted to the environment of the Night Territory. Use the silver horses to equip them first, and then go to the stable to get ordinary war horses if they are not enough."

After the border battle, Earl Svaro, who cooperated with him, gave him more than a hundred silver horses, including a first-class war horse.

"If Earl Pig is stubborn and insists on robbing me... hehe." Field sneered, "I don't mind if my bad reputation has more stains."

"Yes!"

Thinking of the opportunity for war, Asina was so excited that she immediately went to execute it.
