Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 95
What Lante didn't expect was that in the small building where the Earl lived, the room height was surprisingly high, each floor was 10 meters long, and the room where the Earl lived was a very large and super high room that was directly raised to the roof.

Lant, who had just entered the room, glanced at the various layouts of the room curiously. In Lant's view, it was more like the gymnasium in his previous life, with super high ceilings, various exercise equipment, and special wooden floors.

Count Maned Wolf quietly half-sat and half-lyed on a huge rocking chair, looking at the curious Rand, and Fernando stood behind the count.

"Do you think this room is very interesting?" the count said.
“Your room is very special”

"Actually, such a room is very common in big families. After breaking through to the Sky Knight, you need a special place to practice flying with fighting spirit." The count said while looking around.

"Back then, I thought it was a matter of course to become a sky knight, but later I realized that what is needed behind the 'reasonable' even exceeds the needs of the sky knight itself."

In fact, when Rand just heard this sentence, he still agreed with it. In the first few years of working in his previous life, Rand also believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be promoted and raised later. But after many years I also know that even if you put aside the illusory connections, character, opportunity and even fate are enough to change the four words "as it should be".

Of course, Lant knows better that the Earl seems to be introducing his life experience to Lant. In fact, what he really wants to express is that the Viscount that Lant is now inheriting is not as simple as "as it should be", but the Earl of Maned Wolf. Come, Earl Maned Wolf hoped that Rand would appreciate it.

"My father has always told me that as an intermediate knight, I can successfully inherit the title of Viscount Rot, thanks to the care of the Earl"

"Hey, Viscount Lante is now a great hero in our Northwest Territory." The old maned wolf smiled, "Even His Majesty the King wants to confer the Viscount of the court on you. Do you want to only accept the honor? Or do you plan to stay in the capital?" Are you doing your duty for His Majesty?"

"What do you mean, Count?"

"I think that you have just inherited Rott's territory and you don't have a clue about everything. It's better to practice in the territory for a few years, and then go to the capital when the territory can run on its own."

"Thank you Earl, I agree exactly with what you think"

"Okay, I heard that you have fulfilled all the contracts between the Bob family and other nobles?"

"Yes, Lord Earl, the Galloping Horse Plain needs a lot of food, and it produces horses and salt." Rand organized his words and expressed his thoughts.

"There are too many barbarians and human demon possessors in the Rot territory now, and the Rot territory cannot afford to support them. We must go back to the plains to develop salt mines, raise black scaled horses or other livestock, and exchange these grassland specialties for grain. "

"Very well, I am relieved that you have such a plan for the territory. The Galloping Horse Plain has been the biggest source of chaos in the Northwest Territory for hundreds of years. I hope you can keep the peace today." The earl's face Showed a gratified expression.

"I am very happy that you have developed your territory. I will ask the steward to find you a place outside the city. In the future, your caravan will have a fixed warehouse and house in Maned Wolf City."

"Thank you Earl."

"In addition, each of their nobles has their own mansion in the city. Viscount Bob has one, and your father used to have one too, but he later sold his house to Bob." The count smiled, " Let the housekeeper take you there in a while, and now these two houses are also yours."

"But Rand, I heard that your caravan will eventually go to the capital?"

Coming, Lante knew that the Earl of Maned Wolf was about to make an offer, "Yes, my lord, I have reached a contract with Yan Tiesi."

"Oh, of course, the dragon kingdom needs salt from the plains very much, but as far as I know, the nobles of our dragon kingdom mainly use monster leather armor, and their mounts are mainly monsters.

If you expend energy to bring the black scaled horse and iron armor to the capital, you probably won't be able to sell them! "

"Oh, I didn't expect this. You know, my lord, I have never been to the capital, so I really don't know the situation."

Lante responded to the earl, while complaining in his heart, what are you doing with me?They all wear leather armor, and the tens of thousands of deposits from the capital in Bob's account books are all blown by strong winds?
"In my opinion, your black-scaled horse and iron armor are sold in the shop in Maned Wolf City. If you can't sell them, I'll make them up for sale, so that you won't go all the way to the capital."

If it weren't for Bob's account books, Rand would have thought it was his father Huck who said this.

"Then I am very grateful to the Earl, but no matter what, I still need to send a large amount of salt to the capital. It would be great if there are enough cargo ships."

"Isn't it a coincidence that our family's caravan always goes on a cargo ship and stops in several cities along the way. Our two caravans can go together. I only charge you [-]% of the profit as the fare." .”

"Thank you so much, Earl." Rand knew that the asking price was really not high. As a Viscount, Rand needed a high city entry tax for his caravan to go to cities outside the Northwest Territory.
Although table salt is the product of the Yantie Division, it can be exempted from tax with the Yantie Division Yanyin as a certificate, but it will be made things difficult by the people at the gate of the city, and other goods that accompany the caravan will be taxed at a higher rate.

But with the earl's fleet, not only can a large amount of salt be transported at low cost, but also under the banner of the earl of the northwest, most of the city entry tax can be exempted, which is very profitable with just a little.

"The Earl has one more thing. I don't have enough food in my territory. I want to buy some food in Maned Wolf City."

"It's easy, follow my housekeeper, take my voucher, and go to the warehouse behind to buy some old grain."

"Okay, thank you very much Earl"

Old grain is much cheaper than new grain. It can be used not only as rations for barbarians, but also as feed for black-scaled horses and pack animals. This is what Viscount Bob must buy every year when he is in business.

Before leaving, Rand presented several other sets of magicweave equipment to the earl, and then followed the steward to receive the plots inside and outside the city.

"Father, there's no need to just give Bob's house to Rand, right?" Fernando was a little puzzled by his father's generosity, "Even if we bought his armor and horses, we bought them according to the price, and he still has to buy them." Follow us in business, our family will give him enough profit."

"Hey" the old maned wolf sighed, his son is good in other aspects, but he values ​​money too much. "Now the whole kingdom hopes that I will have a conflict with the Benma family. They are afraid that the Benma Plain will be swallowed up by us."

"Then let's not get used to him like this."

"So? Let's squeeze him out and let him go to the king's capital to sue every day as a court viscount?"

"Then just let Rand go to the capital to be his court viscount"

"Then what? Ask the Blue Dragon family to find him a Silver Knight wife to manage Rottland?"

"You mean?" Fernando raised his hand to a height of 3 meters.

"Yes, that's the dragonborn girl." The earl gritted his teeth and stood up, "Every family has a different understanding of the same thing. In your opinion, she is a one-in-a-thousand demon possessor, but in the eyes of others, she is just a demon possessor. A bargaining chip for benefit exchange.

If you want to avoid becoming a bargaining chip, you must not only see the gold coins in front of you, but also the future situation! "

The earl fell into the memories of half a month ago again, and was forced to admit that the lady married the future Viscount Rotor in front of the legend and the magister. This was the most difficult moment in his decades of earl career.
