Chapter 464: response

Today there is only one update, which is really unlucky. I was bitten by my own puppy this Spring Festival. I was bitten on January 29. Rabies vaccine was required. It was five shots and lasted for a month. But I don’t know how it happened. The muscles in my arm are very painful. The last stitch on the 26th today is also the main reason for the lack of force in the update. In addition to the work, I am not mentally good. "Fear of death! Hehe! 》
Cook couldn't help having a headache. The Scarlet Fortress was located in the easternmost part of the mainland, and Cook's Baronial Territory was the westernmost part of the mainland, which was tens of thousands of kilometers long. The intelligence agency set up here was only a few poor people.
It is impossible to find out the specific news, and the time for Cook's rise is too short. The longer the time, the more powerful the intelligence agency will be.
Some time ago, Cook’s intelligence focused on the orc empire, and he didn’t pay much attention to the human kingdom, so Cook did not think of any way at all. This also caused Cook to not know what to do next, as for being passively beaten. It’s not Cook’s style.
"Baglu, Luocuo, you alone brought two thousand cavalry to Scarlet Fortress, and you also brought a message to Tatadona and sent two clansmen to protect my safety." Cook thought for a while and used his ID card. Orders were given to Baghlu and Luocuo.
This is also one of the ways Cook thought of. If it weren’t for the orc army, Cook would also want to bring a team of orcs here directly, but Cook’s eyes brightened when he thought of it here: "Orcs? Well, you can use this. Those great nobles have a lot of wealth!"
"Looking at you like this, you know that there is no good idea!" Xia asked with a smile when she came back and put on a white dress.
"Hehe, nothing, it's just that someone is jealous of us." Cook replied with a slight smile.
"What?" Xia was taken aback, then looked at Cook and asked.
"Nothing, just some clowns." Cook replied faintly, and then said what had just happened.
After Xia heard what Cook said, she immediately stood up and said, "Shall I ask?"
"You sit down, your family is a good old noble, but you haven't asked about family matters for many years, so don't worry about it." Cook used his to think and know that the West Asian family must be among them. For the nobles, as long as there are enough benefits, everything can be exchanged.
"Can't say that, I..." Xia explained dissatisfied.
"Well, West Asia, I just don't want you to be embarrassed, and you are a woman after all." Cook's words mean that you are just a woman in West Asia. If it weren't for your strength, you would have been used to exchange benefits. .
"You..." Xia glared at Cook, wanting Cook to succumb to his gaze.
"Okay, I naturally know what to do." Kukrasia sat down, then persuaded him, and said with his arms around her waist.
"Well then!" West Asia also knows the degree of Cook's perversion, but for the nobles, there are simply too many ways to kill someone.
At the next reception, Cook thought about his own affairs absently. Cook asked Manly carefully, only to discover the root cause. It turned out that when he bought food and some daily necessities, he didn't care who sold it.
Cook still remembers that at the beginning, some civilians drove their own carts to sell them. It was these people who sold the food to Cook. You must know that corn at that time did not have a copper coin per catty in the south. Cook directly The purchase was four copper coins per catty.
A carriage can carry 2 tons. The carriage in the corn-producing area closest to Cook takes a month. The food consumed on the road is a quarter, but it is less than a copper coin per catty when it is purchased. It is four copper coins, and the remaining 1500 catties of grain can be sold for 4500 copper coins, which is 45 silver coins. After removing the capital of 20 silver coins, you can also earn 15 silver coins.
One year is nearly two gold coins. If you know the life of a commoner in one year, a family of five is no more than one gold coin, and it has enough food and clothing, so a large number of small businessmen were born.
In the past, the big chamber of commerce looked down on this business, but when the big chamber of commerce entered, there were already a lot of small merchants. Some places were protected or taxes were raised. Once Manli found out, they would cancel the qualifications for transactions in these places. Weapons, magic materials, etc. are banned for sale in these places.
As a result, the price of corn rose steadily. Many nobles originally owned chambers of commerce. Without Cook's intervention, Manli was actually in charge of them, and these nobles would earn more.
But Cook didn't blame Manli. If the big chamber of commerce really controlled the food trade, then these nobles would definitely have to increase prices inch by inch.
Cook then ordered Manli to reduce the share of weapons sales, especially the sale of some long-range weapons. Although Manli didn't know what happened, the Manli that Cook ordered would do well.
After communicating with Manly, Cook realized that the reception had ended unconsciously. Cook and Sia left straight away. Looking at Cook's back, Archbishop Rose said with a smile: "Hehe, nouveau riche. !"
"Your Excellency, are you sure about the matter this time?" There were a few people left beside Archbishop Rose, and they watched Cook get into the carriage from behind, but their eyes were full of hatred.
"Sure, what is 100% successful? It's possible to walk down, not to mention such a big thing." Archbishop Rose looked at the slowly closing door and looked at the questioning earl.
"Damn guy, if it weren't for his unreasonable interference this time, we would have gotten more." Another middle-aged man with an angry look resentfully scolded.
"Okay, we have made a good plan. Our baron is a rare guest, and a good reception!" Archbishop Rose suggested with a smile, and then led people into the study upstairs.
However, shortly after Archbishop Rose left, behind a candlestick two meters to the left of the conversation between Archbishop Rose just now, a thumb-sized spider jumped out and disappeared in the corner of the hall.
"Ha ha, ha ha!" Cook laughed for no apparent reason.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia was taken aback, raised her eyes to look at Cook, and angrily twisted Cook twice on Cook's waist.
"It's okay, it's okay, do you want to come again?" Cook suddenly pressed on Xia and asked with a smile.
"No, people's mouth hurts." Xia hurriedly refused. She was kissed severely by Cook just now when she got on the carriage, and her lips were swollen.
"Hehe, your mouth will be swollen when you go back later." Cook laughed.
"Humph!" Xia hurriedly covered her mouth and snorted.
"Hey, I'm talking about another one..." Cook leaned close to Xia's ear, licked Xia's ear, and then whispered with a smile.
"You let go...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) It has also greatly improved. West Asia is biting hard. Not only does Cook feel nothing, he is very excited.
Cook got up early the next morning, because Bagru had already arrived, of course, it cost a lot of money, which was a transmission cost of hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Watching West Asia who was still sleeping, Cook put a quilt on West Asia, and watching the flags still raised in protest below, Cook couldn't help but smile. Maybe it was a sequelae of taking the Dragon Power Potion. Cook is in some ways. Very tough, coupled with Cook's strong physical strength, so the average woman is not suitable for Cook at all.
"Sir!" Cook lives in a hotel, but it is a very luxurious hotel. The waiters in these hotels got up early in the morning and saw Baglu and others. They were so scared that they didn't dare to go out, as did the people on the street. Far away, even if the local patrol team saw a thousand ogres and a thousand trolls, they were completely messed up, but fortunately Bagru and others had strict transmission procedures.
"Well, is there a relatively open place here? I need a place for my subordinates to live?" Cook asked the waiter a question.
"Sir, there are many places, but those are the properties of nobles, and you need noble status to buy." The waiter has long seen Cook's extraordinary, because these days when Cook comes, every day there are noble butlers to send invitations. At first glance, those butlers are well-educated gentlemen.
"Noble, there are so many troops and nobles fleeing?" Cook originally thought that with so many troops here, it must be more difficult to buy a house.
"Because of the large number of troops, public security is not good, and there are millions of orc troops on the opposite side." The waiter pointed out the reason in two words, and answered carefully.
"So do you know where there is a house for sale? A place that needs to accommodate two thousand people?" Cook asked again.
The waiter looked at the size of the ogre Bagru, his eyes dizzy. How could this guy be worth three or five humans? The waiter hadn’t returned yet, the inn’s owner came when he heard the news, because the ogre At the door with the troll, the guests were afraid to come.
"Your Excellency~EbookFREE.me~Robatina is willing to serve you." The boss is more educated, and he greets him like a gentleman.
"Thank you, I need a place big enough." Cook replied, bending slightly.
The waiter next to him explained a few words. Robatina looked at the ogre Bagru, his eyes lit up, because the boss recognized that Bagru’s equipment was made by the dwarf master. Such a piece of plate armor is at least Worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
But when he stretched his head, Robatina didn’t faint, because there were a large group of ogres equipped in this way on the street, and the armor on Bagru’s body was the best thorny crown plate on the mainland. The joint part of the plate armor is a circle of metal thorns, which are more than ten centimeters long. In close combat, it is equivalent to a hedgehog, and the joints of the thorn crown plate can be twisted 240°. Without the slightest influence, in Robatina's memory, this kind of plate armor is a forbidden item in the dwarves, and only a few human royals get some gifts.
"My Excellency, the little one knows that there is a manor." Robatina originally wanted to say that the place was not cheap, but after seeing the equipment of Bagru and others, he closed his mouth wisely.
"Haha, that's a work." Cook laughed.
