Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 7 Compensation and Maids

The person in charge of the caravan is an old acquaintance, Ke De, Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce is in charge of the management of the northern border, no matter where he is, he will take care of himself clean and tidy, he is a handsome middle-aged man who is full of gentlemanly demeanor. .

Regardless of whether the former mother got married or returned to her natal home forever, this handsome middle-aged man was responsible for picking her up. Obviously, he was the one who planned to come here this time. Who knew him well? Unexpectedly, the pitiful, weak, and helpless miserable young man would stand up without saying a word, and they would become the weak side instead.

In this case, the previously planned methods of house arrest, persuasion, and annexation are obviously useless, and these soldiers alone can take them all down.

Codd didn't think these soldiers were disguised by farmers, nor could they be hired. It can be seen from the spirit of these soldiers and their obedience to Owen's orders. The master's plan will end before it even begins. Well, the eldest lady also made a mistake, the Hydera family obviously still has a hand.

"Master Owen, Madam has been worried about you all this time, and she specially ordered me to bring three more layers of supplies this year than in previous years, and asked me to send two maids who serve the church to take care of your daily life." Cod acted as if this happened. , Owen almost believed what he said.

However, Owen didn't intend to tear his face directly, which was just right, so he waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately took two steps back. Although the siege was not lifted, at least they didn't feel like they were on the verge of life and death.

The guard and the buddy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Cord also looked relieved, but he smiled wryly in his heart when he thought of what he had to pay. This time, he lost a lot of money.

Three more layers of supplies are nothing. Given that Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce's reserves in the Northland can be replenished at any time, giving him two maids who serve the church is a big problem for him.

The serving church is a very special church. The congregants believe in serving, so other churches have nuns and priests, and here are maids and housekeepers, and they have all undergone extremely professional training.

Because of the belief in service and loyalty, the maids and housekeepers who serve the church don’t care about their ability. Once they recognize the Lord, they will serve for the rest of their lives. Even death can’t stop them. Therefore, they are very popular among nobles. Not to mention housekeepers, even maids are sought-after. goods.

The Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce had to pay a lot of money, and these two maids had some flaws, so they had a chance to get it. Moreover, sending them to the northern border this time would be of great use. The problem is that it is gone now.

Although distressed, Cord knew that he had no choice. If he didn't satisfy Master Owen, if nothing else happened, they would definitely have an accident.

Accidents on the border of the Northlands were quite normal. Even the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce couldn't find this young master, so when it came to choosing between losing money and stopping losses in time, Ke De chose the latter without hesitation.

"Don't call me master, I'm Viscount Hydera now." Owen said softly, squinting his eyes at Cord.

"I'm sorry, Viscount Hydera, I'll let them unload the goods." After understanding Owen's meaning, Cord quickly admitted his mistake and asked the man to unload the carriage. As for how much to unload, he couldn't care less .

"Very well, I also miss my mother very much. This is my gift, and you handed it to her personally." Owen nodded, and asked someone to bring the court dress that he had prepared before, which is a women's dress, known for its gorgeous shape , but civilians can't wear them, only noble ladies can, and the mother of the predecessor has this qualification.

Owen didn’t choose the court uniform randomly. If the other party accepts it, it means that she still recognizes her identity as the Hydera family, and the two parties will have a basis for continued cooperation. If they don’t accept it, then Owen can only work as a robber part-time. Teach the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce a good lesson, let them see how wrong it is to provoke a time traveler.

Ke De was able to be entrusted with important tasks by the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, so his brains and abilities were naturally not bad. He immediately guessed what Owen meant and accepted it with pleasure.

It is no longer realistic to seize the territory and title of the Hydera family at the moment, at least there is no chance now, it is better to maintain the status quo.

The Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce first cooperated with the Hydera family because Hydera I was known as the Tiger of the North, which could deter the surrounding nobles from easily taking action against the caravan of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, so as to take the opportunity to develop the business on the northern border.

In fact, this decision is correct. The Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce is nothing in the empire now, but it already has a lot of influence on the northern border, and has reached a cooperative relationship with many northern nobles. After all, the nobles on the northern border are still It has not developed to the level of self-sufficiency, and has gradually realized that plunder alone can only be maintained for a while. Only a good cooperative relationship can obtain a steady stream of materials, even if it requires paying wealth.

The problem is that without a caravan, money can't be spent, so the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly over the years.

Back then, Borui, the chairman of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, chose to marry his daughter not because he wanted to take over the Hydera family, but because he intended to deepen the relationship between the two parties, because although he decided to develop the northern border business, he was also the founder, but The Chamber of Commerce is not just his own, so the people inside will not sit back and watch him monopolize this part of the benefits, and use this to completely control the Chamber of Commerce, because it is not in their interest.

Although Borui is the president, he couldn't kick out all the collaborators, so he had the idea of ​​marrying a daughter.

The northern border nobles are regarded as mud legs by the imperial nobles, but their noble status is recognized by the empire. This is Borui's opportunity. After all, no matter how poor the imperial nobles are, they will rarely marry a merchant's daughter. Marriage will also put forward many harsh conditions, which are far less straightforward than the Hydera family.

It's just that Hydera II died suddenly later, and Hydera III, who inherited the title, was too young, which made Borui think that I can do it myself.

It's obviously not going to work right now. Who would have thought that the Hydera family would hide something, so it is better to choose to continue to cooperate and recover some losses.

Corder is not the kind of person who can't figure it out. On the contrary, he is very decisive. After thinking about it, he immediately changes his attitude, so that Owen can't find faults.

After unloading, the caravan left. Although the two parties intended to continue their cooperation, they almost didn't start a fight just now. It wasn't the time to stay. What's more, Cod had to go back and report this matter to see what the president said to Hyde. The attitude of the La family, and the loss this time also needs to be replenished by the chamber of commerce. It seems that my life will be difficult in the future.

Kodd couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of this. Hiring so many guards is a sum of money, and the supplies that he didn't plan to spend are a sum of money. The maids who serve the church that the two chambers of commerce spent a lot of money are even more related. To the next development of the Chamber of Commerce in the Northland.

Now these are all gone, even if I am deeply trusted by the president, but the president of the chamber of commerce is not alone, even if I will not be dismissed in the future, I am afraid that I will be blamed, and what is worse is that I will be caught by the chamber of commerce Opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the Northland is the most troublesome thing.
