Chapter 379: Caravan

"What do you think we are missing now?" Roland suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Renault, who was following Roland, was caught off guard and bumped into Roland's back, causing a star in his eyes.

"Hiss? What's missing?" Renault was stunned and looked around blankly.

"There's nothing missing!" Renault said, shaking his head.

"I always feel like there's something wrong with it? It's very important!" Roland affirmed.

"Huh?" Renault asked puzzledly. The kingdom's current situation is better than ever. Everything is on the right track. If this development continues, this area will soon become prosperous...

etc? Prosperity! Renault's eyes lit up, it was prosperous!

"You mean... we lack business, right?" Renault tried.

"It's not just business! It's the liquidity brought about by business! Don't you think... the kingdom is like a pool of stagnant water at the moment? People look very busy, but the whole land does not have that kind of vitality!" Roland Shake his head.

He walked around the city in the past few days. The people were busy because of the crisis. Under the threat of the shadow of war, the people of the entire kingdom were working hard. They worked hard on this land and worked hard to harvest their crops. The fruits of labor... In addition, there are very few commercial activities in the entire City of Rapids. The soldiers have no place to spend their salaries. Apart from buying some grain and vegetables, there is basically no money to spend... There is only one tavern in the city that can barely entertain you. What's even more tragic is that the alcohol in the tavern is also limited. Due to the food shortage, Roland ordered that private brewing is not allowed. Now the alcohol supply in the city is either from Roland or dwarves, and the quantity is not large. For this reason, we can only create Purchase restriction policy.

"This won't work! We need to let money circulate! Money that moves is money! Money that doesn't move is scrap metal!" Renault clearly saw this. After all, he was from a branch of a noble family and had natural knowledge. Unlike ordinary people, being able to become the Governor of the Northern Territory in the future is a testament to his vision and ability. At the very least, he is someone who can run an army on horseback and be a herdsman on horseback!

"Yun Feng said the same thing! It's not easy to move money!" Roland shook his head and looked at Renault.

"What do you mean?" Renault asked.

"Open the trade routes in the north again! Let our caravans go out! Supplies from the Western World come in!" Roland waved his fist fiercely.

"...Want to fight again? Is it possible?" Renault was stunned. The main force of Rapid City has been fighting for a long time. Even if the soldiers didn't say anything about it, Renault could feel the fatigue of all the soldiers.

"We need caravans! People need commerce!" Roland sighed helplessly.

"..." Renault sighed.

"How many people do you plan to send out?" Renault's mouth twitched.

"Why don't you let the knights go?" Roland thought for a while.

"..." Renault raised his eyebrows and fell silent.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Roland's eyes were full of confusion.

"Do you want to catch the knights and collect them?" Renault said helplessly. In the future history of the Kingdom of Lagrand, the Holy Knights commanded by the king will definitely go down in history! Famous as the knights who were pruned to death by the king...

"Isn't the Knights useful?" Roland scratched his head in embarrassment. He himself felt a little unkind. After all, the Holy Knights were his first army and they followed Roland through all the battles. Legion! We fought all the way from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain, and then from the Lonely Mountain to Dol Guldur, and then fought a battle with the orcs of the Northland north of the Gray Mountains, and then went to kill each other with the chariot people. field.

"I suggest you change your army! If we continue to fight like this, even the knights will lose their morale!" Renault shook his head. If it doesn't work well, then use it desperately!

"Hehe... I'll think about it..." Roland said awkwardly. If the system hadn't given them extremely high loyalty, I guess these knights wouldn't mind shooting him behind his back...

"The soldiers are easy to deal with, but what about the caravan? We don't seem to have a caravan, right?" Renault shook his head.

"The caravan is ready!" Roland nodded.

To say that this caravan did arrive on time... Roland just drove out in front and just arrived today.

"Let me introduce, this is the Chamber of Commerce President of our Lagrand Caravan - Ruel!" Roland introduced to Renault.

"Hello! Lord Ruhr!" Renault nodded friendly. After all, this person will be in charge of the entire Lagrand business in the future, so there is no harm in establishing a good relationship.

"Hello! Your Excellency, Knight Commander Renault!" Ruel had dark green hair and looked shrewd and sleek.

"Ruhr will lead the caravan belonging to the Ragland royal family to the Western world for trade. This will promote the growth of the kingdom's trade and make the kingdom more prosperous!" Roland briefly talked about the impact of trade on the country's economic development. He wanted to quickly Accumulating raw capital will take the kingdom a step further. Apart from trade, there is only colonial plunder!

It was not that Roland had never thought about colonizing and plundering, but after considering the various chariot tribesmen with thousands of chariots, Roland decisively gave up this idea. After all, when the opponent's strength showed an overwhelming advantage, even the most courageous and skilled Lager All dragon knights will become good at singing and dancing.

Just as the Maxim machine gun did to the Nomads, overwhelming numbers of enemies will calm down the frenzied blood of the Lagran Knights!

"What is the composition of the caravan?" Renault looked at Roland. He already understood what Roland meant. This bastard king was not only addicted to gathering the wool of the Knights, he was also addicted to gathering his own wool! Isn't this a roundabout way of asking yourself to take on this task?

"The caravan consists of ten caravan knights, fifty caravan guards, and two hundred men! There are one hundred double-drawn carriages! It can transport 400,000 kilograms of goods at a time!" Ruel said with an elegant salute.

"Thank you! There are actually knights in the caravan? What a luxury!" Renault was stunned.

"It's just a hired first-order knight. It's enough to drive away some bandits and orcs. To deal with the monsters, we need the hired guards of the caravan to take action!" Ruel said modestly.

"Guards? First-order guards or second-order guards?" Renault asked curiously. As one of the few long-range professionals who can equip heavy armor in batches, guards are still very popular. (The Battanian shooter is a weirdo!)

"First level! How come there are so many second level guards for me to hire..." Ruel smiled bitterly.

"Guard..." Roland smiled interestingly.

Roland didn't know much about guards, mainly because he had never played this type of unit in games before. Although he didn't have an in-depth understanding of it, Roland also knew that this unit was extremely balanced and could be called a panacea on the battlefield.
