Chapter 130 The miserable big milk tank
"Lord Baron, please persist. I believe that sooner or later, the people will understand your approach."

Herman spoke reassuringly.

At this point, he could only comfort Lancaster with these empty words.

In fact, both of them knew very well that unless they stopped squeezing the people, the people would never understand their actions.

But in order to meet the needs of Guanhai City merchants, they could only sacrifice the interests of the people.

"I said, there is no need to comfort me. Do you, like others, think that I am a fool lord who knows nothing and only knows how to have fun?"

Lancaster's tone contained some resentment. Obviously, although he said he didn't care, he actually cared about what others thought of him.

"No, no, I definitely don't have this idea. Others don't know you. I don't know you yet. After you took over as the lord, you have been working hard to develop the territory, but..."

"It's just no use, is it?"

Lancaster gave a wry smile. It is useless to be a lord just by working hard. Without talent and ability, no matter how hard you work, it is useless.

It's like after he took over as the lord, he dealt with government affairs every day, and he didn't even have time to take care of his favorite flowers and plants.

However, the results were very poor. Instead of getting better, Qiangwei Town even became weaker and weaker, and became more and more dependent on the protection of Guanhai City.

"This is not your responsibility alone."

What Herman said was not to comfort Lancaster, what he said was the truth.

The decline of Rose Town to its current state was not caused by Lancaster alone, but had a lot to do with the inaction of the previous lords.

Ever since Qiangwei Town took refuge in Guanhai City, the former lords felt that with the protection of Guanhai City, they could sit back and relax. They didn't develop the territory at all, and only cared about their own fun.

Little do they know that in this chaotic era, standing still is equivalent to regressing, not to mention that some of the lords lost a lot of benefits in their territories for better enjoyment.

In their hands, not to mention the development of Qiangwei Town, it is even worse than when it was first established.

By the time Lancaster took over, Rosetown was already in deep trouble, and the legacy of its legacy was beyond repair.

Faced with this mess, although Lancaster wanted to develop his territory and make Qiangwei Town strong again, he was powerless. Some reform measures he adopted not only failed to make Qiangwei Town better, but also caused complaints from the residents.

After a few blows, Lancaster has come to his senses. He doesn't have the talent to be a lord. If you let him take care of the flowers and plants, he will definitely cultivate the flowers and plants very well. But if you let him develop the territory, I'm sorry. He really can't do it.

Lancaster is very self-aware of himself. Compared with his father and previous lords, his ability is not strong. Even if they are defeated, then why is he still struggling?

So he withdrew the reform measures and restored the original system, which also began to fail.

Not to mention the result, the citizens stopped complaining immediately, and the feeling of being bad was really cool. He only needs to deal with some government affairs every day, and he doesn’t have to do anything else. .

It’s just that it’s not without cost. Their Qiangwei Town’s dependence on Guanhai City is getting deeper and deeper. If Guanhai City stops doing business with them one day, the economy of Qiangwei Town will collapse in a few days.

This is still the lightest of the consequences. The most serious consequence is that their territory is directly annexed by other territories and completely becomes a part of other territories.

Although Lancaster is in ruins, he doesn't want to lose the long-inherited family territory in his own hands, so he can only hope for the protection of Guanhai City.

In order to close the relationship with Guanhai City, he gave many privileges to the merchants of Guanhai City and made considerable concessions in terms of commodity prices.

Every time a merchant comes to trade, regardless of his status, he will personally meet him, just to show his sincerity to Guanhai City.

This shows that Lancaster is really not stupid. He knows very well that since the entire Rose Town relies on the breath of Guanhai City for survival, he cannot show off his noble status and has to lower his position.

These businessmen are used to running into walls with other nobles, and when they meet a noble like him who has a good attitude towards businessmen, they will undoubtedly have a good impression of him.

He relied on this method to maintain his relationship with Guanhai City, and this was one of the few things he could do for the territory.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things. This merchant named Tom is very likely to be a descendant of a high-level chamber of commerce. This time he came to make a deal for gold plating, otherwise he would not choose us in Qiangwei Town."

"After all, everyone knows that we in Rose Town are the most talkative. That's why he opened his mouth like a lion and bargained so much at once just to achieve results."

Baron Lancaster mused.

"But we can't be sure whether he is really a descendant of a high-level person, and even if he is, our loss this time is too great."

Herman frowned. He was in charge of the territory's finances and was very sensitive to this aspect.

Although Qiangwei Town has a lot of specialty products, their income is not as much as expected. In order to get closer to Guanhai City, they kept the prices of the products extremely low, not much higher than the cost price.

In addition, sometimes you have to give some benefits to the Chamber of Commerce in Guanhai City, and set aside a sum of money to buy food. After all, they have a lot of arable land to grow roses.

Adding up these miscellaneous things, their annual financial expenditure is very large, not counting the taxes they have to pay to the earl.

Although they had taken refuge in Guanhai City and were almost expelled from the aristocratic circle, they still did not dare to offend Earl Cross, who had even their backers beaten by the Earl.

Therefore, the financial pressure in Qiangwei Town is still quite high. If the price of Momoo's fresh milk is lowered, their income will decrease a lot.

"I have no choice but to take a gamble. If he really has contact with the top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and can say a few good words for us, then these losses will be nothing."

"And as I said before, this price reduction is a gift for Tom. Gifts are not always given."

Lancaster was still a little clever, deliberately leaving some room in his words.

"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid that those greedy businessmen will seize the price this time."

Herman worried that those businessmen would do anything for their own benefit. Others might care about face, but businessmen would not.

"There are always risks in gambling and we have no choice."

Lancaster said helplessly that compared to the risk of losing profits, they could not accept the risk of offending the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Well, since we have decided to lower the price, there is no need to discuss these anymore."

"Yes, then I will direct the people to carry the fresh milk first."

"Aren't you going to accompany those two businessmen?"

"With Director Lance accompanying them, they probably don't need me, so I won't cause trouble."

Herman had a worried expression on his face.

Lancaster knew what he was thinking. In fact, Herman had always looked down on those businessmen. He only knelt down to them for the sake of Rose Town. He wished he could stay away from those businessmen.

"Okay, then you go, and you will inform me when they are leaving."

Naturally, Lancaster would not make it difficult for Herman. To be honest, he didn't want to see these businessmen either. Every time he saw them, Lancaster would feel a sense of humiliation.

He received a noble education since childhood, and what he learned was the glorious history of the nobles. He also has the glory and pride of the nobles.

But in front of the merchants in Guanhai City, his glory and pride were trampled on wantonly, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for Rose Town, Lancaster really didn't want to meet these businessmen, so he understood Herman's thoughts very well.

"As ordered!"

Herman said excitedly, then turned and left.

Looking at the back of Herman leaving, Lancaster muttered to himself:

"Thank you for your hard work. I hope Mr. Tom can change our current situation."

At the same time, "Tom", who had high hopes from Lancaster, was led by Field Director Lance to the place where the big milk tank produced fresh milk.

"The big milk tank produces fresh milk here?"

Chen Yan pointed to the shed in front of him and said.

"Yes, the smell inside may be a bit unpleasant. Are you two adults sure you want to go in and take a look?"

Field Director Lance asked.

"Of course we have to go in and have a look. It's just that twenty big milk tanks are squeezed into such a small place, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

The shed in front of him was very small. Although Chen Yan didn't know the size of the big milk tank, even judging by the size of real cows, the shed couldn't accommodate more than 20 big milk tanks.

"Not suitable? No, they can live completely. They have been resting in this shed all the time."

"Wait, you mean, this shed is not only a place where the big milk tanks are milked, but also a place where they live?"

Chen Yan said in surprise.

"Otherwise? It would be nice for these monsters to have a place to live, so there is no need to be so detailed."

Lance said indifferently.

Chen Yanwenyan and Xu Ruofeng looked at each other. He knew that Pokémon's life in other places was not good, but he did not expect that the living conditions would be so bad.

Not to mention that this shack can't compare with the castle courtyard with trees and water, it can't even compare with the newly built camp, at least the camp has a large area.

"Take us in and have a look."

Chen Yan still had a little luck in his heart, in case the hut was only a little smaller, the environment inside would be okay.

As a result, when they entered the shack, the harsh environment inside completely shattered Chen Yan's illusions.

The inside of the shed is even smaller than it looks from the outside. More than 20 large milk tanks are all crowded together, and there is almost no room for movement.

There was a strong stench of excrement and urine flowing under the big milk tank.

Chen Yan thought he had adapted to the stench of Rose Town, but the stench in the shack was stronger than the stench on the street, and it almost knocked Chen Yan offline.

In front of the big milk tank is the trough, which is filled with pasture. It seems that they have not been abused in terms of eating.

But he always felt that the big milk tanks were in pain when eating, and both eyes were gone.

When the big milk tanks heard someone coming in, they looked up at Chen Yan and the others. When they saw Lance, they suddenly trembled, and then they all lowered their heads and ate desperately.

Seeing this, Lance nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and introduced to Chen Yan:
"These are all the large milk tanks that can produce fresh milk in our Qiangwei Town. Thanks to the lactation potion of your Chamber of Commerce, each of them can produce more than 30 liters of fresh milk per day, which can fully meet your purchase needs."

"How much milk can they produce without potions."

Chen Yan asked back.

"Generally speaking, a large milk tank can produce [-] liters of fresh milk a day, but adding prolactin potion to the pasture will greatly increase the production of fresh milk."

Lance thought that Chen Yan was trying to show off the effect of their chamber of commerce potion, so he quickly praised him.

"Does this lactation potion have any side effects?"

Chen Yan frowned and said.

"There are no side effects."

Lance stammered in reply.

"To be honest, we need to understand the side effects of the potion. Only with this information can we improve the potion."

Chen Yan increased his tone of voice.

"Yes, there are actually no side effects. It's just that the big milk tanks have to eat more grass. This is nothing. You just need to teach them a little lesson, and they will eat grass honestly."

"Also, it seems that it will cause some damage to the body of the big milk tanks. Their lifespan may be shortened, but that doesn't matter. Anyway, when they get old, their milk production will decrease significantly. It is better to produce more now."

Lance explained with a smile that he tried to keep the side effects of the potion as low as possible.

But in Chen Yan's ears, this potion was undoubtedly a kind of destruction to the big milk pot.

Although in reality, in order to increase milk production, cows are also injected with galactagogues and hormones, and even a hole is made in their bodies to promote their digestion.

But they are living a pretty good life, unlike these big milk tanks that are being abused here all day long.

The big milk tanks were so frightened that they trembled when they saw Lance, which proved that they were whipped by Lance.

Chen Yan is not a person with a strong heart for the Virgin. He also knows the principle of the strong preying on the weak. In the real world, as the only higher animal in the world, human beings can naturally obtain resources from other animals. It is understandable to do so.

But the Pokémon world is different. Pokémon are also intelligent. As Lord Ryan said, humans and Pokémon are children of the Creator God. They are brothers and partners.

In the real world, in the face of those animals whose intelligence is far inferior to their own, human beings still have compassion. Not only will they protect them, but they also hate animal cruelty, let alone these Pokémon.

Chen Yan believes that as long as a blue star with normal emotions, on the premise that Pokémon does not affect the survival of human beings, he will subconsciously choose to be friends with Pokémon instead of abusing them.

Besides, Lord Lane has proved with facts that Pokémon can only help humans progress and develop, and basically poses no threat to humans. Humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Although Chen Yan hated what Rose Town was doing, he also knew that the aboriginal people in this world had always had a bad view of Pokémon. Maybe in the eyes of the aboriginal people, abusing Pokémon was normal behavior.

It's just that he doesn't understand why these big milk cans don't resist. No matter how weak the big milk cans are, they can't be abused by Lance, an ordinary human being, right?

　Not to mention the player Saint Mary Ang, the Pokémon world is different from the real world. I believe that everyone likes Pokémon and also likes this utopian feeling. Anyway, I will not let players turn a blind eye to the abuse of Pokémon. I I personally hate that kind of dark wind Pokémon novel, so I don't write it like this.
