Before ascending to God, be a good lord

54 Chapter 52. The first haze
On November 996, 11, the Emperor of the Empire, Rand's troops smashed the Gray Goose Headquarters, and set up a bonfire dinner at night to reward all knights and cavalry.

Rand, who felt sorry for Neil, even roasted two long-haired sheep for Neil's patrol team before, and then took Albert, Fang, Luo Er and Zhenqin to visit Neil and eat with Neil. It took a while before returning to camp.

Before the meal, the barbarians in the right camp sang the two songs given to them by Rand. The barbarians liked these two songs from Rand's hometown very much. These two songs eliminated the sense of estrangement between the tribes.

After the barbarians sang, it was the knights of Zuoying and the non-monsters who sang respectively. The knights sang a song recently revised by Rand, which was also a military music from Rand's hometown.

Those without demons, they are singing Rand's farewell song on galloping horses.

Looking at the strong atmosphere at the scene, Rant was thinking about whether to adapt a new song for his various leaders.

The dinner in the camp was still going on, and Rand returned to the tent. There were too many things in the whole afternoon, and Rand hadn't had time to check the detailed reception. As a small fortune fan, Rand didn't want to miss the joy of counting the spoils.

At the same time, Rand still didn't understand a lot of things, and wanted to ask Wendy some girls.

. . . . . .

After Rant entered Wendy and the Frostwolf's tent, Wendy subconsciously said, "Sure enough."

Lili knew what Wendy was thinking, so she tugged Wendy a little, fearing that Wendy would be rude.

"Makoto, do you have a detailed harvest list for the afternoon? Albert was interrupted by that big rock when he asked me to report."

"Of course" Makoto handed a piece of paper to Rand, and Rand scanned the list. The biggest wealth in the entire camp was nearly 10 tons of salt and 3 tons of iron ingots, as well as more than 50 sets of armor and more than 100 sets of Abel. The half-leather and half-iron armor that is specially worn, and nearly 5 cubic meters of wood and 4 cubic meters of stone are also important gains.

According to some non-magic people in charge of the camp, the gray goose leader has been collecting building materials, planning to use the current camp to build a castle.

In addition, there are nearly 500 non-magic people and 30 human demon-owning people in the camp, including 3 junior knights and 6 knight apprentices (excluding 5 girls).

From the leader's tent, Rand found more than 2000 gold coins, and a complete magic sealing box, which contained some magic pattern weapons and magic pattern plates, and nearly 70 magic crystals.

However, the most surprising thing among them is a contract signed a few years ago, a contract signed by the Imperial Yantie Division and the Gray Goose Tribe. For salt trade, it is specifically stated that the Salt Iron Division will provide standard salt cooking pots and heating magic pattern plates.

The contract also states that the Gray Goose Tribe will deliver salt to the caravans of the Blue Dragon Family four times a year. Exchange gold coins in major cities in the Dragon Kingdom.

Rand finally found the real secret of Gray Goose's rise. He had doubts before that an industry such as inland salt making, which combines mining and handicrafts, does not have mature technology, a stable group of workers, and a mature distribution system. The barbarians in the Horse Plains cannot obtain enough income.

That being the case, as a group of barbarians with no skills, no workers, and no caravans, how did gray geese support such an industry?

It turned out that Gray Goose was just a big family with a mine. The human race was actually responsible for mining, the human race was responsible for technical support, and the human race was responsible for distribution.

After the human race mined and sold them, they gave Gray Goose a share. Gray Goose used this share as the start-up capital and food fund for the black-scaled horse trade on the Galloping Horse Plain. By monopolizing the black-scaled horse trade with the Dragon Kingdom, and even the armor trade , made greater profits, and thus bought off the various tribes in the entire southern part of the Benma Plain.

From this point of view, perhaps Yantiesi and the Blue Dragon family are the biggest supporters of the Gray Goose going south this time.

However, the Imperial Salt and Iron Division is one of the core departments of the empire, and the Blue Dragon family is the national pillar family of the Dragon Kingdom with a legendary duke. Both of them have legends as their support. He may not be able to do that, even if he arrives. It is also impossible for the royal capital or the imperial capital to sue for impeachment. The most is to take advantage of Gray Goose's own death and replace it with the name of the Benma tribe as the owner of the salt mine. Exchange the black scaled horse for gold coins.

But Rand is still not clear, since the Gray Goose Tribe has changed from a nomadic tribe to a mining tycoon, why is there a need to lightly start the war?Isn't he happy to sit at home and watch the slaves dig mines for him?

"Lord Lante, do you want to see our ledger?" Lante's thoughts gradually drifted away, and Makoto didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah, oh, no need, just have an approximate number."

"Then, I want to know, has your priest teacher told you why the Gray Goose Tribe went south earlier this year?"

Wendy looked at the girl beside her, "The teacher said, Mr. Touyan listened to the bewitchment of the Dianqian."

"Dianqian Division?" It was the first time Rand heard this term.

"Dianqian Division!" But Zhenqin has a deep impression of Dianqian Division. In the eyes of the nobles, Dianqian Division is a group of people who can't be promoted to legends. The gang set out to destroy aristocratic traditions.

After listening to Zhenqin's evaluation, Lante compared the Dianqian Division to a secret service agency controlled by the emperor's servant in the ancient dynasty of his hometown, and it was a tool to maintain imperial power.

However, Rand didn't quite understand that if the emperor himself was a god, then all the power would belong to him, so why would he need the secret service to maintain the imperial power?Wouldn't it be nice to split the lightning yourself?
Wendy told Rant that before the leader of Gray Goose set off, he had already determined that Baron Galloping Horse and Viscount Rott would not be able to stop him. Count Maned Wolf would just stand by when Rott was attacked, and even Maned Wolf The earl fought Gray Goose himself, and the dragon and other great nobles didn't care.

Rand didn't expect that there was another force that could grasp the contradictions among the nobles so well, and weaken the nobles with precise planning and meticulous actions.

Lante guessed that the chief of the palace might have taken a fancy to the current Benma Plain, otherwise he would not risk the world's disgrace and provoke the barbarians to invade the human race.

Now that Dianqiansi has taken a fancy to the Galloping Horse Plain, he will definitely fight against him in the future. If Rand does not want to be crushed by this powerful force, the best way is to unify the entire Galloping Horse Plain and completely block the external forces in the outside the range of the ground.

Interested, Rand chatted with Wendy and the girls again, asking why they were sold here.

Rant knew that for the Dragon Kingdom, female demon possessors were even rarer. Whether they were nobles or commoners, once a girl appeared in the family to stimulate the blood, the local lord would report it to the higher nobles as an important political achievement. Finally, Dragon Tooth City, the capital of the kingdom, will gather these girls and send them to magic schools in Dragon Tooth City or several duke cities for intensive study.

These girls usually ended up as daughters-in-law of big families, so Rand couldn't understand why they were sold here.

"A noble girl said that I seduced her fiancé." Wendy said lightly, this 14-year-old child had a certain maturity on her face.

"Oh" Lante has no interest in gossip about the dragon king. After arriving in this world, he can't remember the names of the knights around him. He doesn't want to remember those people who he won't meet in hundreds of years.

The experience of other girls is similar. After entering Wangdu School, they were pursued by some noble children, but they didn't get the plot of the heroine. They were expelled from the school by jealous noble girls under various names, and then trafficked here.

"Since demon-bearing girls are not common in the dragon, why sell them here?" Rand didn't understand the values ​​​​of the dragon nobles.

"Because it is rare, I have to find a way to exile.

Murder of a demon possessor is a felony. The gods can find the murderer after the death of the believer and cast a curse on it. The judiciary can also find the murderer and directly convict him. Therefore, no matter how much hatred there is between demon possessors, they cannot kill without authorization.

Female demon possessors are even rarer, and they cannot be killed. It is very likely that they will rely on the big family to take revenge in the future, so many families will sell the losers in the family struggle to the Galloping Horse Plain.

On the one hand, there will be less resentment if there is no death, on the other hand, there is a magical turbulence on the Galloping Horse Plain, which will block the communication between God and believers. "

Zhenqin knows the nobles of the dragon very well. Although she was plundered here at a young age, she has been paying attention to the dragon kingdom.

"No wonder." Rand finally knew why Viscount Roth wanted to use the Gray Goose Tribe to kill him. It was a pity that Viscount Roth didn't know that he was actually an atheist, otherwise Roth would have personally dealt with the troubles.

"Our galloping horse territory will be your home after that. Now there are basically no female demon possessors in the camp, and there are no mages or priests who can teach you, but I believe this situation will change soon. In the past few days, you Now I am staying in my core tent, and in a few days I will find a way to allow you to freely enter and leave the camp."

"Yes, my lord," the girls replied.

"Go to bed early," Rand said casually, and left the tent.

Wendy looked at the girls around her in bewilderment, but she didn't expect Rand to leave just like that.

"Let me just say it." Zhenqin probably knows the thoughts of several girls, "Master Lante is not the lord you met, he has great ambitions and noble conduct, and will not touch little girls like you .”

In fact, Lante does not think that he has great ambitions and noble conduct, but as a person who is going to have a wedding before time travel, he still dreams of his fiancée from time to time, and dreams of the time when he met her on the first blind date. Various scenes.

Lante didn't know when he could truly integrate into this world, but now, he still couldn't bear to part with those memories of the past.
