Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

After the Second Northland Development Group entered the Northland, the local bandits became professional, because many people gathered idle bandits, provided weapons and food, conducted simple training, and formed more professional bandit groups.

Although the investment is not small, as long as they can secure a territory and transform themselves, they will become the new northern nobles.

With a small gain and a huge profit, the choice becomes simple.

Fortunately, the deterrent power of the Imperial Frontier Army is extraordinary. Peace and prosperity are still maintained close to the Imperial Border. There are some petty thieves, but blatant group robberies are rare, because no one wants to provoke the Imperial Frontier Army. , so Corens’ next journey was smooth, and he arrived at Ferrier Town without any setbacks.

The town of Ferrier is known as a pearl on the border of the North. Its owner is Countess Ferrier, a Northland noble known for her beauty. She is also the only earl in the entire North. Her town is very prosperous because it has almost a monopoly here. The high-end fur market in the entire Northland, especially the few top-quality furs that are sent to the imperial capital for auction every year, are the luxuries coveted by imperial ladies, and each time they are auctioned for a jaw-dropping price.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a town is flowing with gold, so it is naturally not something that ordinary people can build, especially a countess who is famous for her beauty.

In fact, there have long been rumors privately that Countess Ferrier is just a puppet, and that the real owner behind this town is a big shot in the Imperial Frontier Army. Only in this way can a person with real power in the army be able to suppress it. The greedy ones who peer into the wealth amassed in the towns of Ferrier.

Although there is no real evidence for this statement, it is the most popular. After all, it is difficult for a female prostitute to gain a foothold in the cannibalistic Northland, let alone create such a large foundation. Therefore, no one dares to easily provoke Fei Lier. The count was afraid that he would be pushed down by a group of bandits as elite as the frontier army that night.

When Corens arrived, he discovered that perhaps because it was close to the imperial border, or perhaps because he had enough confidence, the city wall of Ferrier Town was not very tall. It was only about two meters high and only half a meter thick. It was enough to resist bandits. , but it was very powerless in the face of war, but this did not affect its prosperity. The outskirts of the town alone seemed particularly lively.

In the open space of the river bend not far from the town of Ferrier, a large number of tents and camps appeared in clusters like mushrooms after the rain. It was a bit crowded, not to mention the quality of life. It was like shitting and washing upstream. , fetching water from the lower reaches to cook in a big pot, everyone has long been accustomed to it, no one cares at all, they are all busy making money.

This is a trading place for ordinary furs, and it is also a place where southern merchants and northern merchants exchange their needs. The tax revenue from daily transactions is enough to rival the annual output of a small noble territory, not to mention the consumption during this period. Commodity, even if the fur trading season is only one month a year, it still brings huge wealth to this border town.

Corens came at the right time. After spring, high-quality furs obtained from winter hunting in the North are sent here one after another. The cobblers and tailors here price the prices according to the quality, and the best furs are sent to the fur master for appraisal. The furs are graded, and the best furs among them will be sent to the imperial capital for auction. The lucky ones who provide the furs often become rich overnight, but no one cares whether they live or die next.

With so many people gathering, it was of course impossible for them all to swarm into the town, let alone the cavalry, so Corens rented a small camp with a dozen tents nearby and settled the cavalry. He was about to ask I asked the four mysterious people if they could help me, but the kung fu lady turned around and disappeared. I had no choice but to take a knight with me to enter the city. Who expected to meet an acquaintance just after leaving the house.

This is a businessman who often goes to Mara Town. Curranth has dealt with him several times, so he stopped to chat for a few words and inquired about the situation in Ferrier Town. Who would have thought that this scene would fall into the eyes of an interested person? Inside, especially the camp behind him was still hung with the Hydra family's logo, and those elite cavalry were even more difficult to ignore.

Not long after Corens left, the businessman was grabbed by the wrist.

"Code, you bastard didn't take care of the business of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce and came here to scare me. You can't do this without inviting me to have a drink at the Rabbit Ears Tavern." The businessman grabbed Code's hand and shamelessly said said.

"I just came here to drink with you, but let's forget about the Rabbit Ears Tavern in the city. Not only do I have good wine in my tent, but I also have good bacon that others gave me. Come and have a drink at my place." Cord smiled. He pulled the businessman and wanted to leave, but now the businessman didn't want to leave.

"Your wine doesn't taste good. Tell me. If you want me to help you with anything else, let's talk about it first. Don't do anything that doesn't benefit you." The businessman shook off the other person's hand and said angrily.

"Nothing else, just asking for some information." Cord didn't expect to hide it from the other party, so he just smiled and said.

The businessman was not stupid. He turned around and looked at the flag of the camp behind him and knew what Cord's purpose was.

He knew that the rumors that the Hairui Chamber of Commerce was plotting to plot a certain noble's territory were not false, but who would have thought that the Hydera family was hiding so deeply that it almost brought the Hairui Chamber of Commerce to tears. Not only did they lose a batch of goods, but they also lost their The inability to provide a maid led to a damaged reputation, which has not recovered in the past two years. Otherwise, how could Code, as the person in charge of the Northland, go to an ordinary exchange outside the city? In previous years, he had always traded in the city.

"A bottle of good wine is not enough." The businessman who knew how to wait for the price said meaningfully.

"I will definitely satisfy you." Code secretly pushed a money bag into the other person's hand.

The businessman pinched his fingers and nodded with satisfaction. However, this was only the price for inviting him to drink. This was not enough information about the Hydera family.

Not mentioning that the Hydera family fell into the eyes of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce again, Corens put on neat noble clothes, rode a white horse, and entered the city under the escort of a knight.

As a noble, Corens could of course enter the city and was allowed to bring servants and guards. He originally wanted the four mysterious men to sneak in disguised as his servants, but unexpectedly they disappeared without saying a word.

However, this did not affect Curranth's plan. At this time, people from all over the town gathered in taverns. If they wanted to obtain information, all they had to do was prick up their ears. He would not miss the opportunity because of this.

"Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce." Walking on the street, Kelunsi's footsteps suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then took steps again.

Of course, Corens knew about the relationship between the Hairui Chamber of Commerce and his lord, but as a smart man, he should not easily get involved in things that he shouldn't, such as his lord's family affairs, so he had no intention of going in to say hello.
