From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

The reason why Mr. Foster asked Mr. Foster to send someone to borrow money was actually for a reason.

First of all, according to existing intelligence, at least one or two of the many nobles located in the southern part of the Emerald Kingdom are obviously hostile to Black Feather Island.

As for Red Crab Island, the closest noble territory of the Emerald Kingdom to Black Feather Island, the overall strength of the Crab Claw Family on Red Crab Island far exceeds that of Krober's side.

Therefore, Krober must first test the Crab Claw family's current attitude towards him.

If he could borrow money easily, or simply couldn't borrow a penny at all, then both situations would be enough to illustrate the Crab Claw family's true attitude towards him.

Secondly, Klober really doesn’t have much money anymore.

After all, if you want to build your own territory quickly, you must invest huge amounts of money.

However, judging from the few hundred thousand gold coins left in his warehouse, it may not be enough to complete this goal.

"Also, first take out all the gold and silver coins stored in the warehouse and buy a large amount of food, slaves, tools, livestock, etc."

Krober did not have enough time to wait for the natural population growth in the territory.

He can only increase the territory's population by purchasing slaves. After all, only when the population base increases can the construction speed be significantly increased, and the reclamation of farmland will also be accelerated.

Food is used as a reserve material, because the influx of a large population will cause food consumption to increase exponentially.

Therefore, before the food in the territory is self-sufficient, it must rely on imported food to ensure that the basic food and clothing problems of the people in the territory are solved.

The role of tools and livestock is to speed up construction, ensure food diversity, and increase the fertility of the land, thereby effectively preventing the loss of land nutrients.

"Yes!"

From Krober's expression, Foster was keenly aware that something major was about to happen.

But since it was the order given by his young master, it must be reasonable, and he only had to obey the order.

Afterwards, Foster led his men to move boxes filled with gold and silver coins from the warehouse, placed them in the car, and then sped towards the commercial district outside.

As a result, the businessmen and ordinary people on Black Feather Island witnessed this scene:

Mr. Foster, who is usually serious and calm, actually appeared in the business district in person driving a carriage loaded with large boxes.

After seeing a merchant selling slaves and grain, he slowly stepped forward and briefly asked about the price, followed by a light word.

"I want them all."

For several houses in a row, Foster chose to buy them all after asking about the price, and this scene naturally made many interested people aware of it.

They all left the main road and ran to the side alleys, and then delivered important news to their superiors as quickly as possible.

One of the men, who looked short and thin, was no exception.

When he saw Foster frantically buying slaves and food on the street, he couldn't help but feel a sense of consternation in his heart.

So, he hurriedly ran to a dark alley nearby and hurriedly went to find his adults to report the situation.

"Sir! Something bad is going on! I just saw Foster going crazy on the street buying food and slaves.

More than half of the large carts of gold coins he brought have been spent now."

He said in an anxious tone.

However, the man hiding in the darkness did not respond immediately after hearing the news.

Instead, he stood there quietly, put his hand on his chin, and began to think carefully.

His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was trying to guess what kind of reason was hidden behind this.

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why Foster wanted to buy so many slaves and grains. He had to give up thinking and turned to the servant beside him:

"Don't worry about him, we just need to do the tasks assigned to us by the family. Black Feather Island will eventually belong to us!"

The man hidden in the darkness stood up and revealed his face.

If the young man who was interrogated by Krober just saw him, he would probably be able to recognize him at a glance. He was the businessman who helped him and extended a helping hand to him.

"Hmph, Krobo Golden Rose, Black Feather Island is not a place you can easily get involved in. You should just go back and be your pretty boy!"

Leaving behind a harsh word, the businessman slowly walked outside.

"Lord Luke..."

The servant who reported the news just now was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but he did not dare to say it.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't waste time."

Luke was very patient with the servants he had grown up with.

"Lord Luke, just now, when Foster was buying slaves.

He and the soldiers he brought trumpeted that Krober had discovered the new island and was made a viscount by the Golden Duke himself.

It is said that she has a new surname, which seems to be Amethyst Rose. "

Hearing this, Luke clenched his fists and growled at the servant in disbelief:

"What? He also discovered a new island? No wonder, no wonder! No wonder he bought so many slaves and food. It turned out to be to develop new islands."

Krober's title was elevated, which was not a good thing for Luke and the family behind him.

But now that things have happened, they are powerless to change it.

We can only change our strategy and use other methods to gain benefits for the family.

"Don't take action for the time being. I'm going to return to the family and discuss with the family again the position on Clober Amethyst Rose."

"Remember! Don't act rashly during this period. Wait for me to come back in the tavern. Got it?"

Luke was afraid that his servant would have an accident, so he hurriedly gave a few more instructions.

"Yes, sir, I will definitely follow your orders."

The thin servant accepted Luke's order firmly and promised that he would never step out of the tavern during this period.

In response, Luke nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and returned to his residence. After packing his luggage, he was ready to return to the family.

At this time, Knight Foster was still meticulously carrying out Clober's mission.

He bought at least 6,000 slaves from several slave traders, but it would take some time for these slaves to be delivered to Black Feather Island, and only a few hundred people could be delivered at the moment.

So Foster only paid the price of the hundreds of people and part of the deposit, and the rest of the money was mostly used to buy food.

Given the large number, Foster mainly bought some food that was easier to store.

For example, oats, wheat, corn kernels, etc.

And this kind of food is generally cheaper, so the gold coins Foster spent on food were much lower than he imagined.

And Foster used the money saved to buy some livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and chickens.

Choosing these three was also the choice Foster made after careful consideration.

Among them, cattle can produce milk, which is rich in nutritional value.

Wool can be woven and used to make clothes.

And chickens can lay eggs, which can increase food diversity and reduce some food consumption.

Leaving the final payment for the slaves, the remaining gold and silver coins were all spent by Foster. In exchange, he got enough food for more than half a year for 10,000 people, as well as some tools and poultry.

Oh, yes, and the 6,000 healthy adult slaves.

Thanks to Foster who had been promoting Krober's discovery of a new island and his promotion to Viscount.

The forces behind these merchants lowered the prices of various commodities after learning about it, otherwise he would not be able to buy so many slaves with only more than 100,000 gold coins.

Most of the supplies could not be delivered, after all, Black Feather Island was just a small island and could not handle so many supplies at once.

So Foster signed an agreement with them to transport the purchased supplies to Black Feather Island in batches within seven days, and provide ships for free to help Krober's soldiers transport the supplies to Amethyst Island.

Among them, the loss of the ship was borne by Krober.
