Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing From a Rundown Yard

Chapter 266 Talents in Slaves, the Transaction Is Completed 【Subscription】

Among these slaves, Zong Shen found a total of three more interesting people.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a stubborn stubble and a sluggish expression. Seeing Zong Shen, he would only show a smirk, but he turned out to be a hero-level talent with excellent qualifications.

With the tips of the strategy, Zong Shen saw through his disguise, and at the same time knew his origins and the beginning and end of becoming a slave.

His name is Howie, from the neighboring Nord Kingdom, the Gotti Castle under the great city of Wabel. The village's taxation and agricultural tenancy have been serving Viscount Hector for more than ten years without incident, and there has never been a mistake.

Taxation is one of the most important sources of income for Gotti Castle in addition to commerce. The miscellaneous taxes paid by the seven villages every year are more than 200,000 Continental Dinars, and the taxes and accounts he is responsible for are always indistinguishable. Poor, this kind of fat difference will naturally attract the attention of other confidants under the Viscount.

It's just that he has been doing things steadily for so many years, and he has never made any mistakes, so that others can't find faults.

Viscount Hector has three children in total, an eldest son, an eldest daughter, and a twelve-year-old daughter. In addition to being responsible for the taxation of the villages under Gotti Castle, Howie is also responsible for teaching Ike. Children of Viscount Thor, equivalent to the role of a private teacher.

The three children of the Viscount are basically from Professor Howie, and when they are 14 years old, they will be sent to the school in the great city of Wabel to study.

The eldest son and the eldest daughter are safe and sound, but the problem lies with the younger daughter. People in this world are generally precocious. There are a lot of parents who have become parents at the age of 16. The younger daughter has already started falling in love at the age of 12. Howie, the teacher who often taught her to read and write by his side.

The viscount's younger daughter met Howie privately, and the two agreed to meet in the woods near the castle. As for Howie, of course, it wasn't because he had an idea for the viscount's younger daughter that he agreed to the appointment, he just wanted to make it clear.

Howie knows that this kind of thing often has to pay the price of life. The children of the minor nobles will only marry other nobles to expand the influence of the family and also increase the social circle of the nobles.

This continent is too vast, there are many things like dog blood, and the nobles are not as noble as the commoners imagined, they are also stupid and make mistakes, even more absurd than the commoners.

Howie naturally knew this, and was trying his best to avoid it, but he still fell in love. This incident was passed on to the ears of Viscount Hector's confidant chief through the maid of Viscount's youngest daughter.

So while they were meeting, they took Howie directly with the private army of the castle.

When she was brought to Viscount Hector, the little daughter was pure-hearted, and she was caught out of her inner thoughts in a few moments. Even if Viscount Hector valued Howie again, he would not be left behind.

After several tossing, and under the secret operation of the general manager, Howie was sold to a slave trader.

In the past year, he suffered a lot, traveled through many giant cities, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and finally came to the Kingdom of Avalon. Howie has been pretending to be stupid and choosing a suitable owner for himself.

Those who had raised a large number of slaves in captivity, experienced lords and big landowners were not among his choices, because these people had rich experience in slavery, and if they fell into their hands, they would not have the chance to escape even if they died.

With his ability to dress stupidly, he became a nail-biter among slaves.

Kill and kill, sell and sell. If you don’t kill and keep it in your hands, there will be an expense. Even if the status of the slave is low, the basic food needed for survival still needs to be provided. Not small.

Just when the former slave merchant was considering whether to kill Howie directly, a turning point appeared. He met a colleague who was out of stock, so he transferred Howie to this colleague at a low price, and this pick-up man was Ba. Mogo.

The story has some twists and turns, but it can't hide the fact that Howie is a smart and excellent hero.

This guy is very smart and self-disciplined, and he has very little desire for himself.

He was able to manage the cumbersome tenant tax for Viscount Hector for more than ten years. During this period, he was not only meticulous in his work, but also never had any acts of corruption. It was enough for his opponents to find no flaws in him for more than ten years. .

If it wasn't for the viscount's young daughter's heartbreak, this guy would have continued to serve in Gotti Castle.

At this time, Howie, seeing Zong Shen looking at him all the time, couldn't help but secretly said something bad.

He had observed Zongshen's territory in the prison van. In his eyes, it was still a very basic armed settlement. Not only to become a state city or a castle, but to form a village would take a lot of effort.

The primitive accumulation of population is a process that takes time, unless a large-scale kingdom war breaks out, it is not easy to accumulate enough population.

The time for really great development is often when wars break out. Only then will there be a chance to obtain a large population at one time, and the number of displaced people who migrate will also increase greatly.

Therefore, this kind of territory is extremely lacking in basic labor, which is a basic judgment he has come to.

Unexpectedly, Zong Shen took a fancy to him at a glance, which made Howie hesitate.

The surrounding arrow towers and the ancient trees that were obviously not normal made him a little undecided.

But Zong Shen didn't think so much, he pointed at Howie and looked at Bamogo.

"Mr. Bamogo, how can this slave be sold?"

Ba Mogo looked in the direction of his fingers, and when he saw Zong Shen Howie, his face was happy.

good guy! This slave, whose father does not love his mother and does not love, is finally taken care of.

However, the joy on his face subsided in an instant, for fear of offending Zong Shen.

After thinking about it, in order to further establish a partnership with Zong Shen, Ba Mogo decided to sell Howie to him at the cost price, and also told Zong Shen the real situation.

"My lord, this slave's name is Howie. He is from the Nord Empire. He is 35 years old and in his prime."

"But this guy seems to be stupid in the hands of the first slave merchant."

"Now I only smirk and don't have any working ability. Are you sure you want him?"

Bamogo is also a smart man, and he chose to tell the truth in exchange for Zong Shen's goodwill towards him.

Zong Shen nodded, with a faint smile on his face.

"Let's make a price, and I'll take a fancy to him."

Although he didn't say much, Bamogo still saw the firmness in his words.

"Well, my lord, I'll sell him to you at cost."

"It's 350 Continental General Dinars when you receive it, plus the food expenses during this period, you can just pay me 370 Dinars."

Zong Shen smiled and narrowed his eyes, nodding happily.

"Deal, let him go, he will be mine from now on."

"I have to pick a few people and pay the bill together later."

He is in a good mood, 370 dinars is just a little more expensive than a grassland cow, and getting a hero-level talent with excellent qualifications at such a low price is a huge profit!

Bamogo naturally had no opinion. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he waved his hand cheerfully and let the men behind him open the prison car and roughly grab Howey out.

Howie's figure is similar to Zong Shen, but because of long-term wandering and lack of food, he looks thinner than Zong Shen.

Zong Shen didn't dislike him for being dirty either, patted him on the shoulder, and said something meaningful to him.

"Remember, today will be the turning point of your destiny. All your decisions in the past thirty-five years are not as good as I have taken a fancy to you today."

This Howie will be a new talent in the territory, making a dominance reserve for the population expansion that will soon follow.

Howie listened to this translation, and the smirk on his face stagnated slightly.

After Zong Shen finished speaking, he took out a piece of refined wheat bread from the storage compartment and handed it to him.

The third team of the wolf cavalry, who happened to be in charge of the backup patrol, was patrolling nearby. Zong Shen called them over, took out the treasure chest and got a set of plain clothes, gave it to the wolf cavalry, and asked the boys to take Howie to take a bath. Smelly is not the same thing after all.

The wolf cavalry took Howie away, preparing to take him to take a bath in the creek north of the territory.

Zong Shen began to continue the prison car in a circle.

Among the female (Harmony) slaves a young female (Harmony) slave turned out to be a mid-level tailor.

The name is Alanna, and she seems to be in her early twenties, but her tailoring skills have reached the intermediate level. According to the Raiders, she can reach advanced tailoring skills at any time, and is a rare talent.

In addition to tailoring skills, this female slave named Alanna also masters primary magic energy technology and primary rune technology. In addition, although she is not a hero-level talent, her charm attribute is as high as 30 points. These are all special places. .

However, this slave named Alanna looked extremely ugly, with an upward nose, thick lips, big eyes, and freckles and stains all over his face. He was curled up in the corner, motionless.

When Zong Shen stopped and stared at her, he found that this guy trembled.

"Mr. Bamogo, I want this slave too."

Zong Shen smiled at the ugly Alanna. Buying slaves is really interesting. There is a kind of fun in picking up leaks. With the help of the strategy module, he can completely unearth some hidden talents. If there is a chance, Zong Shen is going to Rentates. Try your luck at the slave market in the giant city.

This time, Bamogo had a strange expression on his face, and his eyes towards Zong Shen became a little unnatural. Most people buy slave girls based on their appearance, but this one does have some skills.

"Cough cough... my lord."

"The slave girl's name is Alanna, and she has good tailoring skills."

"Although her appearance is not pleasing, she is indeed a rare talent."

"Her price is more expensive than Howie's, requiring 1,000 Continental Universal Dinars."

Apparently, Bamogo had done his homework on his slaves. Knowing that Alanna had the talent for tailoring, he raised a finger and quoted a price that was not cheap.

Zong Shen looked very proud, without frowning, he nodded happily.

"Take her down."

Bamogo heard the words and asked his men to take Alana out of the prison car.

Taking Zong Shen's side, Alana not only looks ugly, but also stinks.

Zong Shen frowned slightly and called Luna.

"Luna, you take this Alana to take a bath."

"There is a large wooden barrel in the empty room of the lord's courtyard, and a small wooden barrel is used to hold some hot spring water."

"By the way, find Mariel and lend her a set of clothes."

After Zong Shen finished speaking, he took the key that Bamogo gave him, and untied the chain on Alana's body.

Several huntresses got off the black panther and walked over, taking Alanna into the lord's courtyard.

Now among the slaves, Zong Shen's candidate is the last one left.

But this one is rather special, he actually has a mission on his body.

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with messy hair like a bird's nest, clear and clean eyes, and slightly dark skin on his face. In terms of appearance, he is the most normal of the three people selected by Zong Shen. .

His name is Quet, he comes from the east coast of Avalon Kingdom, the giant city of The Hague, and Mona Village, which is subordinate to the city of Glonas. He is the son of the contemporary Mona village chief. All the fishing boats in the village that can go out to sea are controlled by his family. .

Mona Village is also a large village with a population of tens of thousands, almost comparable to the smaller Bangcheng. It is also one of the few villages closest to the sea on the entire east coast. The sea is full of dangers, not only the extreme climate, but also the There are terrifying sea monsters and cruel pirates, not all villages are willing to stand by the sea.

The people of Mona Village have enough secrets to survive by the sea, and their fishing boats can always avoid danger and bring back rich catches. The seafood they catch will be snapped up by various merchants and royal families as soon as they land. The goods are frozen with frost gems, and then transported to major cities and imperial capitals by continuous and expedited trek through griffins.

It ended up being a top delicacy on the table of nobility and royalty.

The task on Kuitt is also very simple. The prompt just said that if you bring him back to Mona Village, you will gain the friendship of the village chief and the villagers, which will be of great help to your future exploration in the East China Sea.

So Zong Shen also decided to keep him, no matter how bad it is to work with San Fatty and the others, there are only few people in his territory now, and there will never be too many people.

As for other people Zong Shen is not interested, it is not the defeated soldiers of various small forces, or some unfortunate villagers, there is no added value, and it is not worth buying on purpose.

"This boy, I also bought it."

"Okay, I want these three people."

Bamogo nodded and looked at Quat.

"Juvenile Quat, proficient in water, in good health."

"Requires 700 Continental Universal Dinars."

"Three people need a total of 2070 Continental Universal Dinars."

His men pulled Quait out of the prison van.

Zong Shen listened to the offer and directly took the money and handed it to Bamogo!

He has made a lot of money this time!
