Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

Barony of Cleveland, Brandon paced back and forth after listening to the butler's report, thinking about whether there was any conspiracy in it.

"Are you sure? They started buying grains half a month ago and there is no sign of stopping." The uneasy Brandon confirmed to his butler again.

"Yes, sir, the people over at Qixing Lake started purchasing grain on April 4th, and it is still going on now. The surrounding lords have raised the prices to sell grains, and they have accepted the orders." In response to the inquiry from his own lord, The butler explained patiently again.

"Is there something I don't know about here?"

After listening to the butler's words, Brandon murmured to himself and fell into silence again.

Since his two defeats at the hands of Verin Akers, he had paid special attention to his neighbor, not sparing his every move.

"Sir, look, should we also join this carnival, make a lot of money, and recover our blood." Seeing Brandon not speaking for a long time, the housekeeper asked in a low voice.

The defeat in the last war almost made it difficult for the Baron of Cleveland to recover.

"Let me think about it for a while. There is no rush in advance."

Brandon couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, or to imitate his opponents and buy grain.

"dong dong"

A knock on the door interrupted Brandon's thoughts.

"Come in."

The valet outside the door heard Brandon's voice, opened the door gently, bent down to salute, and respectfully reported: "Master, this is news about the territories of the three nobles Violet, Leslie and Barry, please." You take a look."

The butler stepped forward to take the letter from the servant, waved him away, and then handed it to Brandon.

Opening the letter and reading it carefully, Brandon found that his three neighbors, Leslie and Barry, were purchasing grain, while Violet was still in the wait-and-see stage.

"Old Bull, we also buy grain from other noble territories." After making a decision in his heart, Brandon decided to take a gamble, and his subconscious told him that he should do this.

"Sir, how much is appropriate to purchase?" the steward asked.

"A year's ration for 20,000 people should be purchased according to this standard."

"Yes."

When the butler bent down to salute and was about to leave the study, Brandon continued to say something.

"Food is cheaper if you go further away."

"Yes, my lord."

After the butler left, Brandon sat in his seat, read the information again, and said to himself: "I hope I did the right thing."

……

Time flies by, and more than three months have passed.

Three days ago, Weilin received another reminder from destiny and received important news.

[There is a book written by a stranger hidden under the house at No. 76, District 3, Lando City, Kurze Province. 】

As far as Weilin knows, the Kurze Province is located in the central region of the kingdom. It is a province directly under the royal family. It is roughly north of his hometown of Xihe Province. It belongs to the border province between the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom. Luoxing Province is three provinces away.

The distance is too far, so we can only put it aside for the time being and explore the matter later.

As usual, Verin worked hard on the training ground, honed his fighting skills, and trained his knight attendants.

After his own instruction, Kyle has been successfully promoted to the Bronze Knight, officially becoming a professional.

After finishing the morning training, they found that Baird had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Weilin asked while wiping the sweat off his body.

Baird heard this and replied: "Lord, I have three things to report to you."

"First, five bluegrass plantations have been completed. It is expected that the first batch of bluegrass can be harvested in the second half of this year in December. However, we lack the necessary bluegrass potion preparation technology and need to hire a magician to solve the problem.

"Plant it first, and I will take care of the preparation process." Without any hesitation, Weilin made the decision.

"Second, according to your instructions, 30,000 people will receive three-year rations. Based on the calculation of three hundred kilograms of rations per person per year, we plan to purchase 13,500 tons. Currently, we have purchased 2,000 tons of wheat and 5,000 tons of jicama. Five hundred tons of rye and 3,500 tons of black beans, a total of 11,000 tons, costing 110,000 gold coins. Including your private treasury, all the liquidity in the territory has been exhausted. Do you still need to continue to purchase food?"

"Pause for now. The food now should be enough. After a few months, we can earn back the money we spent and replenish the population. Don't worry now." After thinking for a while, Weilin quickly did A decision was made.

"In this case, I will suspend the purchase of food when I return."

Baird replied immediately, and then went on to report the third matter.

"Early this morning, I received an official letter from the province. It was sent in the name of His Excellency Medmonkey Colombo, the head of the 16th Knights of the Kingdom. Please read it."

Weilin recalled the news that his aunt Flora told him three months ago, and then received the official letter.

Seeing a letter mixed with it, Weilin immediately put it away and put it in his trouser pocket, and then read the contents of the official letter.

"With the recommendation of Khadki Akers, captain of the third battalion of the 16th Knights, the 16th Knights of the Kingdom hereby sends an invitation to the pioneer knight Verin Akers, please lead 20 people before August 15th. Two hundred cavalrymen and two hundred infantrymen went to Luoyunpo on the border of Kadero Province to assemble."

"Baird, I will draw five knights squires and a squadron of infantry from your hands, and then I will draw fifteen knights squires and three squadrons from Orlando. They will be in place at the military camp tomorrow morning and will be trained by me personally."

Verin handed the official letter to Baird for inspection, and then issued the order.

After carefully reading the official letter, Baird immediately asked: "My lord, do you need to recruit a few more Silver Knights?"

"No, if I take away one-third of the army, there will inevitably be a gap in the security of the territory. I can rest assured if they stay."

"Lord, I understand."

After Baird left, Verin opened the letter and read it carefully.

"Dear Verin:

It has been three months since we last saw each other, and I miss them very much.

In this military operation, the main force is the Kingdom Knights. There is no danger, so please rest assured.

In addition, I have helped you with the baggage and supplies. You only need to bring enough troops.

Be prepared. When the time comes, my brother will create an opportunity for you to meet with our leader, His Excellency Medmonchi Colombo alone, to help you establish contact with him.

Signed by: Flora. "

"It seems that we need to be well prepared this time. At least these two hundred infantrymen have to completely change their equipment."

After folding the letter, Weilin put on his coat and returned to the study to formulate a one-month training plan for two hundred soldiers, striving to improve their strength to a higher level before the military operation begins.
