The Dictatorial Lords

After Locke cut off Avery's voice transmission, he came to Zhang Zhao's office again.

Zhang Zhao looked at Locke in front of him, smiled wryly and said, My lord, you have come here several times this day. Is there anything important?

Locke rolled his eyes and said: What else can happen, isn't it a matter of the orcs and the human empire? They set the battlefield in the Weigerut wilderness. Avery has shown his strength, but he can't fight for the time being. I see them It is unlikely that we will start a war here. As for where to fight, we do not know, but I am a little nervous now. This time, the whole of Orz is really exposed to the eyes of the world. I'm afraid there are many spies from various forces. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Zhao with a dark face, isn't this Zhang Zhao's plan?

When Zhang Zhao heard Locke finished speaking, Zhang Zhao smiled and said, Sir, it will be a matter of time before we are exposed. It is better to be exposed now than later. After exposure, the whole world will be on guard against us. After exposure now, we can still be on their eyelids. Slowly develop below, as long as they don't exceed their bottom line, they won't provoke us. If we become stronger and exposed to them, hehe, my lord, what do you think they will do?

Hearing Zhang Zhao's question, Locke was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said, What else can I do? They must become the public enemy of the whole world, and they will definitely unite to destroy us. No one will see a powerful enemy in front of their eyes exist.

Locke finally knew why Zhang Zhao had exposed Orz with the help of the events of the orcs and the human empire. In the past, some people knew that there was a city of Orz in the Wigerut Wilderness, but they didn't know how powerful it was. Now that such a thing has happened, after the spies from various forces come, can they still not know about it?

The current city of Al Oz is as powerful as it is said, with tens of thousands of knights and more than 100,000 soldiers. No one dared to fight against them.

But it's not that powerful if it's not powerful. After all, the number of people is too small. Which one of the wars between empires is not hundreds of thousands or millions of people. With these tens of thousands of troops alone, Orz is still a little weak.

Orz, who is now exposed to the eyes of the whole world, is just a powerful force, not invincible. With strength and self-protection strength, let those outside forces know that Orz is not something everyone can bully. This should be one of Zhang Zhao's goals this time.

Seeing that Locke had figured it out, Zhang Zhao said again: My lord, what we should do now is to send a caravan or businessman representing us to their forces after the various forces send spies to find out about us. Trade within the range. To develop business, you can also secretly develop dark forces and monitor their every move.”

Locke was speechless, Zhang Zhao's net shop is a bit big, and the whole world is netted into it. What the hell, if there is some useful news, if there is no sound transmission, I don't know how long it will take for the news to come back.

Locke is now very curious about how those forces deliver the news, is it a fast horse? Or use letter bird?

Locke really guessed right. In this world, those large forces keep some birds in captivity. This kind of birds unique to this world is far more efficient than Blue Star's carrier pigeons. Under the background of the times, this kind of flying bird is really not something that everyone can afford. From birth to maturity, there are special people to look after and train them. The cost of this alone is a headache for those small forces. To put it bluntly, the annual training fee can make a small noble go bankrupt. It is easy to use Orz's Wanli sound transmission.

Uh, Zhang Zhao, will this cause a backlash from those forces? Can they just let our people station in their sphere of influence? Locke asked.

Zhang Zhao stared at Locke until his old face turned red and said, My lord, who will drive away the businessmen who can bring them benefits? We can take the special products of Orz and even Vigret The special products in the wilderness are brought to their territory. You must know how well our special products in Orz are sold on the human side. There are also special products in the Weigerut wilderness. On the market in Orz, we As soon as those special products appeared, they were snapped up by those middlemen.

Locke wondered: Are our things so popular? What is it? Is it cement? Or fine wine?

Zhang Zhao was a little speechless. This city lord didn't even know the most profitable things in his city. Speechless, Zhang Zhao still said: My lord, don't you know how popular our special sweet potatoes and potatoes are among humans? Especially those nobles, they are like bumpkins who have never seen the world. It seems that anyone who doesn't have sweet potatoes and potatoes at home is embarrassed to talk to others.

Locke was really stunned at this moment. There are so many good things in Orz, but sweet potatoes and potatoes are the ones he is least optimistic about? Don't they despise cement and wine and breadfruit? It's not bad for Locke to think this way. In Blue Star in Locke's previous life, sweet potatoes and potatoes were common things, especially in the countryside, where there were not too many of them, but in this world, these two things had never appeared. The point is that they are also very tasty and filling.

Every time those nobles buy in large quantities and store them up. Don't think that the nobles in this world are so rich. There are gold coins, but there are still times of famine, and there is no output from the bottom peasants, and the nobles can't buy gold coins even if they have gold coins. There are many places where there is famine every year. There are also some aristocrats who have changed from a high-ranking person to a down-and-out aristocrat who barely retains the price of aristocrats. Most of these are caused by famine.

So the nobles in this world have a habit of storing food. Food that can be stored for a long time is more popular among them, and foods that are delicious and can be stored for a long time like sweet potatoes and potatoes have become their favorite.

This...Okay. Locke, who has read the historical biographies, still knows the habits of the nobles in this world. There are many nobles in history who fell down on this food.

Gold coins and food, these are the things that the nobles of this world pursue, and there are even nobles in some places. In their territories, the peasants have a higher status than some free people. There are also some old farmers with high skills who are loved by the local nobles.

Locke didn't bother with this question anymore, and asked again: Zhang Zhao, since our products are very popular with those nobles, how about we introduce another kind of food?

Zhang Zhao, who was listening to Locke carefully, was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, My lord! Do you mean that we still have food comparable to sweet potatoes and potatoes? How long can it be stored? How does it taste? Is it easy to grow? ?”

Locke smiled and said, What? Are you still concerned about people's livelihood?
