In fact, if the original King Irmaru was too eager to get a lot of steel in an instant.

It is not that raising prices will cause the entire steel market to become unbalanced for a moment, and arouse the vigilance of those opposition lords.

If he had been buying steel in private and making a fortune in a muffled voice, why would he now send a secret caravan to the northern border of the Redka Empire to buy steel?

However, now that his actions have been known to the lords, he doesn’t need to proceed secretly anymore. He simply charges a high price to buy steel, which might attract some smugglers to steal some steel to buy himself. Woolen cloth.

It has to be said that King Elmaru is quite skilled in making up for it, and it has indeed achieved good results.

In addition to the secret caravan he dispatched, many Bazaran merchants took their local goods and went to the north, where they planned to buy some steel to make money.

King Irmaru hated him very much in his heart.

He also didn't know what kind of idea the elder brother who was eight years older than him had put the huge amount of iron ore related to the destiny of a country to be canonized separately.

Originally, the Kingdom of Bazaran was not a country where iron ore was scarce. Although it was not all over the land, it was still possible to build a small amount of iron armor for the soldiers at least.

However, when his brother, the former king, had regained the territory, he actually sealed off the iron ore one by one, all in the hands of the generals who followed him.

As a result, the current King Irmaru does not have an iron ore in his hands, and now he has fallen to the point where he needs to buy steel with foreign countries.

King Irmaru said with a cold face: "Send someone to communicate with a ruler in the northern region, and say that I hope to get a lot of steel from his hands. I can pay a high price for this. !"

Because the North is too far away from the Kingdom of Bazaran, the news that Rainer has been canonized as the Grand Duke has not been passed, so when he mentions Rainer, his tone will inevitably have some condescending meaning.

"Yes, your Majesty, I will make arrangements!" The subordinate answered humbly at once, and then said: "Do you have anything else? If not, I will immediately carry out your order!"

"It's okay, you go!" King Elmaru closed his eyes and did not speak.

After his subordinates left, he suddenly slammed a silver flagon next to him to the ground, breathing heavily in his mouth and nose, looking very angry.

"Oh my God... it's terrible..." Arron walked out of the palace. He was the confidant who had just reported to King Elmaru.

Although he was one of the few and most trusted confidants of King Elmaru, he still had a shuddering feeling when facing him.

That shady face, with sharp pupils like a goshawk, stared at people, but the body seemed to have been cut by a knife.

The most eerie thing is the moody temper of King Elmaru.

Arron had seen it with his own eyes when King Elmaru was an earl. He ordered one of his favorite subjects to peel, and then threw the **** favorite into the sand.

At that time, Arron only felt cold all over, looking at the **** fellow in the sand, who was constantly twitching like worms because of pain, as if he had been treated like this.

What Arron would never forget was that the expression in Elmaru's eyes at the time seemed to contain incomparable madness. When he looked at the **** but body, he actually showed an expression of excitement.

Although it was strictly good, Arron was extremely sure that he was absolutely correct at the time, that was an expression of excitement!

After that, Arron was always cautious around King Elmaru, for fear that he would not be offended by anything he did not do well, and he would turn into that miserable appearance.

Fort creek

Castle Creek in February has gradually warmed up. After all, here is a mild climate in the south. Even in winter, the temperature rarely reaches below zero at night, and there is no snow this year.

This temperature is very suitable for labor, the miserable southern people... No, it should be the miserable southern serfs who have to work for a whole year without a day off, either farming or weeding, or providing labor for their lord.

Perhaps it can be called a rest time, that is, from nine to eleven o'clock in the morning on every Sunday, they have two hours of worship time, and they will not continue to work until after the week.

These serfs are not the same as the self-cultivation farmers and the bourgeoisie. They are collectively referred to as free people, while serfs are the private property of the lord.

Their work enthusiasm is very low, and they must be supervised with a whip to dry goods. Besides, they are timid, cowardly, physically weak, and their work efficiency is quite low.

In the Northern Territory, although the inhabitants are nominally serfs, they still live like self-cultivating farmers in the final analysis, in other words, everyone is a self-cultivating farmer.

In addition to paying taxes, their other income is retained, so the efficiency of labor is very high. Even if Reiner only collects taxes, they get far more than exploiting serfs under the same amount.

The serfs at this time were loosening the soil, because all the land in Fort Creek was owned by the Earl of Creek, except for the land of the farmer, the beneficiaries of the knights, and the territory of his vassals.

In order to have a good harvest in the second year, these serfs had to start loosening the soil in February, and it took until May to start planting.

Because of their low status, all the lords, including Earl Crick, the old father-in-law of Reiner, are unwilling to give them iron farm tools and livestock that need to be spent ~lightnovelpub.net~ or in other words, In the eyes of the lords, these serfs were no different from cattle and horses.

There is also a difference. These serfs are not as powerful as cattle and horses, and at the same time they are not as valuable as cattle and horses.

"Oh my God, it's impossible. Go back and tell your master that it's absolutely impossible! Toss Woodland is my territory, and it is absolutely impossible to give it to anyone!" Earl Crick looked at the arrogant man in front of him. The messenger said loudly.

"Tell your master! I won't succumb!" Earl Crick said in a hoarse voice. Ever since Frank married Rainer in order to protect the family, Earl Crick has been hit. Depressed.

"Please remember what you said today, esteemed Earl Creek, I'm asking if you confirm what you just said?" the messenger looked at Earl Creek badly and said.

"Of course! I won't change my mind!"

"So good, I hope that when my master arrives at Fort Creek with the army, you won't regret the decision you made today!"
