Succubus' Manor

Chapter 150

More and more civilians came out of their homes, and people finally walked on the streets of Otley. Although people still detoured after seeing soldiers, at least they no longer shut themselves in their homes.

The factory building of the breeding factory was also built up slowly, with new progress every day, and people could take the grain away every day. Merchants from Stettin and Sakerd also heard the news and opened a market in Otley. Chi Yan also asked people to change their daily wages from grain to copper coins. The merchants have experience. After they came to Otley, they formed a chamber of commerce and unified the prices.

Merchants have also learned to be smart. Instead of fixing a price, they demand the same commodity. The highest price cannot exceed one price, and the lowest price cannot exceed one price. Merchants can adjust it according to the consumption ability of ordinary people in the middle of the floating space. Chi Yan had read the documents they had written and felt that there was no major problem, so he passed them first.

Minutiae issues can be added later.

The most important thing now is to revitalize the city of Otley.

At least let the civilians feel that life has a bright future.

The first batch of livestock brought back was all chickens, ducks and geese. There were only a pitiful four or five cows. The sheep were not bought. Chi Yan encouraged the common people to buy sheep and let them graze on the edge of the city. possible.

Common people are timid. It is okay to let them work and get paid. Let them spend their own money to buy sheep. They are responsible for their own profits and losses. Most of them have no courage.

If you can make money steadily, no one wants to gamble, otherwise there would not be so few businessmen.

The established breeding factory has begun to recruit people, and the original workers will naturally have to accept them. As for the feed, chickens, ducks, and geese can eat bugs, and cattle and sheep can have grass, so the first thing to deal with is the feed for chickens, ducks, and geese. There is a group of people who specialize in raising worms. They go to the outside of the city to find the land where worms are born, and then dig the soil back. Generally, there are worm eggs in these soils, but these worms have to be kept in clay pots, and cannot be spread directly on the house. Even if it is paved with stone slabs, it is impossible to have no gaps. If these things develop and grow in the city, it will not be a good thing.

But this job is not easy to do, so the wages paid are more than those who take care of livestock, and the people who sign up are very enthusiastic.

What about keeping bugs?When they were very hungry, they even ate the worms, and they couldn't taste anything when they were stuffed into their mouths after being roasted by the fire.

Although Chi Yan also knew that the feed couldn't be so simple, raising insects was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it might not be effective.

But he didn't know how to get feed - he used to hear that pigs were raised to eat slop, which was also fattening, but these days there is no such thing as slop, let alone chickens, ducks and geese, which cannot be raised as pigs.

So since he has no choice, he should leave it to the livestock breeders. They will have to deal with chickens, ducks and geese every day in the future, and they will always find a way to make them fat.

During this period of time, Chi Yan ate wild boar every day. Wild boar was not as delicious as domestic pigs. After all, wild boars ran around outside every day. They had no fat and too much lean meat. It was a bit difficult to chew, but Chi Yan didn't dislike it. If it's pork, it's delicious. It doesn't matter if there is pork belly or not.

And he didn't even spare the pork head meat, the pork head meat was fried, it was fragrant and glutinous, even Kleist thought it was delicious.

"It will probably take half a year to get on the right track." Chi Yan picked up a chopstick of pork head for Kleist, and then said, "I'm going to hand this over to Old Bob in advance, just to see what he's capable of. We will go to Saket in five days, and we just go back to have a look, but we haven’t been back for a long time.”

Saket is now Chi Yan's rear, Chi Yan's granary and cornucopia.

It is impossible for Chi Yan to let Stettin produce sugar and wine. The more merchants there are, the more complicated the eyeliner will be. He will not feel that every merchant, even the servants of the merchants, is loyal to him.

Businessmen come for profit and leave for profit.

They can boost the economy, but they can also destroy the economy.

What Chi Yan relied on was still his "direct line".

He believed more in the people brought out from the manor.

He also hopes that Saket can become a paradise like a manor.

People are not divided into ranks, there are no slaves and masters, there are upward channels for hard work, and people live with happiness and dignity.

Kleist: "Okay."

Saked also has a large number of demons. These demons are responsible for protecting Saked. Now Saked does not have an army like Stettin, but the value of force cannot be underestimated.

Kleist also happened to go and have a look.

Originally, Chi Yan was only planning to stay in Otley for two or three months. However, after he stayed for more than half a year, he saw that the factory building was formed, the livestock were settled, the market was opened, and people could work and consume normally. Now let's go It just so happened that when he left, he left most of the people in Stettin, and the soldiers also left a small part.

This small group of soldiers is replaced every six months.

After everything was arranged, Chi Yan only had to wait until the time to go to Saket. Before leaving, he chatted with Josh who came over for business.

Josh's life is easier now, he doesn't have to travel around, he only needs to wholesale hard candy and wine from Saked, and then sell them to the merchants in Stettin. It takes less than two days to go back and forth. The price difference is considerable, and he also hired a lot of people to move the goods, solving a lot of jobs.

Today, Josh has nothing on his mind and lives a good life. Although his nephew is not good at doing business, he is doing well in the city now. I got brothers and successfully mixed into it, patrolling the city together every day, and stopped the fights when I saw them, and now I have earned income from the castle, so it is no problem to support myself.

The days are good and the mood is good. Josh's old tree sprouted new sprouts, married a woman who fled from the country, and started a family. Years later, I have changed my name to Mom and Dad.

"When I think about the past, I think the days before were just a dream." Josh sat under Chi Yan's head. He still didn't dare to look directly at Chi Yan's face, and neither did he from the corner of his eye. He just looked at his own face. Legs, the smile on his face is very sincere, "My wife also asked me to prepare a gift for you."

The gift from Josh was a piece of cotton cloth.

Josh was a little embarrassed: "My wife likes weaving, and there are servants at home to take care of the children. She will go to the textile factory to weave in the morning."

Chi Yan said with a smile: "This is a good thing, it's good to have your own things to do."

Josh scratched the back of his head: “I have one more thing to tell you.”

"My old friend sent me a letter from the holy city."

Josh lowered his voice, and mysteriously took out a letter from his arms—a piece of folded parchment.

Then he presented Chi Yan with both hands.

Chi Yan reached out to take it, unfolded the parchment and looked at it.

The first two lines of the letter are greetings to old friends, and the rest is the focus.

In the Holy City, the conflict between the royal family and the Holy Court has become fierce. That is to say, merchants and big families must stand in line. They have to choose one side to pay tribute, otherwise they will be eroded by violence on both sides. The Holy City is the richest city in this country. , But now, the common people no longer have the ability to buy, the royal family and the Holy House are like two mountains pressing on their heads, taking money out of their pockets.

There are civilians who want to leave the city, flee the holy city, and join their relatives in other cities.

But they couldn't get out of the holy city at all.

The big family wants to take money from the common people, but anyone who escapes will be caught by the big family and ransacked them.

After the looting is over, people will be thrown back into the holy city.

Then this family can only die.

Those who escaped will end up like this, and the civilians in the holy city can only continue to stay in the holy city.

Merchant is fine, if it is a merchant trusted by a certain nobleman, he can leave the city after getting the documents. After all, the holy city also needs supplies.

So at the end of the letter, Josh's old friend asked Josh if he could take him in. He could find a way to get the paperwork. Anyway, he couldn't stay in the holy city anymore.

Josh: "I haven't replied to him yet, but even if I send the letter now, it will be difficult for him to receive it."

Josh put his hands on his knees: "My lord, the Holy City is like this now. It is inevitable that they will fight. Should we prepare earlier?"

Josh doesn't know about wars, but he knows that once a war breaks out, the big businessmen will have a hard time making money, and the small businessmen will have a hard time. Displacement may be a trivial matter. I'm afraid I'll lose my life.

What's more, he also knew that Chi Yan was the lord sent by the Holy Court, and he would definitely listen to the Holy Court. The Holy Court asked Chi Yan to search for food and arrest people as soldiers. Could Chi Yan still say no?

That's why he wanted to find out what Chi Yan said. If Chi Yan was going to listen to the Holy Court honestly, then he had to leave.

Nothing is as important as fate, not to mention that he now has a wife and children, and the whole family is on his shoulders, so he can't take a wrong step.

Chi Yan nodded, indicating that he knew.

In fact, the influence of the Holy Court has been much smaller in the past few years. Chi Yan holds the Holy Court in the three cities in his hands, and still sends out food every year, so that the Holy Court sends people to transport it. The food is pitifully small, but it arrives , crying and crying poor, counting the disasters in the past few years, the Holy Court can't say anything.

And Chi Yan is no longer afraid of the Holy Court, he has food, weapons, and people.

If it was time to fight against the Holy Academy, he would not necessarily lose.

The situation now is different from when he only had one manor.

When he only had the manor, he was afraid that the Holy Court would trouble him. The manor was only so big and the population was so large. No matter what the opponent did, he would definitely suffer.

Chi Yan took a sip of water and smiled at Josh: "Don't worry, let your friend come over."

"The Holy Court knows my loyalty to the Holy Court." Chi Yan's eyes slightly curved.

"The Holy House and the Holy Spirit will not care about its faithful believers, right?"

Josh's expression was dull, but soon he woke up like a dream. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, my lord."

For some reason, he felt that Chi Yan at this moment was not the same person as the lord he knew before.

More mature, and scarier.

Like a young tiger, it can't wait to try its own claws.
