Suren did not directly take out the sugar to trade with the Skylark Chamber of Commerce. In his positioning of sugar, it is a luxury accessory. White sugar is different from table salt. Even if an ordinary person doesn't eat sugar, it doesn't matter. So sugar is basically prepared for those nobles.

The goods brought by Robert's caravan include various daily necessities, including alcohol and tea in addition to a small amount of food. Their arrival has solved many problems in the territory. When Suren came to open up the territory, it was because of limited funds. He only bought the most important materials and simply didn't bring other materials.

The simplest example is clothes. The wasteland does not produce clothes, so many people wear leather clothes after the clothes are damaged. This thing is hard and smelly, uncomfortable to wear, and smells unpleasant. Before coming here, Robert deliberately asked Gene about the situation in Suren territory, and then prepared the goods, which are naturally very popular.

Su·Qibi·Lun has already run out of money for the previous purchases, so he can only barter for Robert's goods. Fortunately, during this period of time, the blacksmith forged a lot of armor and weapons, which happened to be a deal with Robert.

...

Robert is still very curious about the town of North Fort, this small town more than three hundred miles from Blackstone City, in his impression, so Few of the pioneering territories deep into the wilderness can last for three months, and a few that lasted three months and finally got a foothold are all debt-laden, requiring a large amount of capital investment every year, after all, maintaining one in the wilderness A regular army with more than a thousand people is too expensive.

But this town of North Fort is different. After coming here, Robt's first impression is clean and orderly. Yes, it is clean and orderly. You know, even in the Royal City of Florence, except for the noble and wealthy areas, it is common to urinate and urinate anywhere. The streets of the city are muddy, and I don’t know when. Human excrement that will drop from the sky.

The town is unexpectedly clean, the streets are tidy, and the street pavement is paved and rolled. In some places, stone slabs are used as the pavement. No rubbish is seen on the street. Pedestrians are passing. Have not discarded the garbage, even those goblin slave gnoll slaves are the same.

Later he learned that this was the request of Lord Suren, and there were severe punishments for violating the regulations, and he would clean the streets and toilets under the supervision of others with shackles. In addition, being caught urinating and defecation will not only have to pay fines and labor, but also be arrested and hanged. Those who fail to correct the crime will also be confiscated with the tools of the crime.

There will be a bathroom at the corner of every street. Everyone must go to the bathroom to solve it. In addition to being clean and tidy, there are also many rules here. For example, the road is divided into two from the middle. Need to walk on the right and so on.

Although the whole town does not look big, it is in order. Several roads divide the town into several parts, and all the houses are almost of the same style. Although it doesn't look good, it looks neat. Some of these houses are already occupied, but more are still empty houses.

Although each house is small in size and has only three rooms, the layout is very reasonable. The houses facing the street are all two-story lofts. These houses should be shops, and the roads in the town have been dug for drainage. There are also special sewers inside the house.

There are more people living in the south of the city, and other places are very empty. Many open spaces have fences. It looks like a reserved place. No other people are allowed to approach the military camps in the town. Lord The mansion is also forbidden to walk around, but people can come and go freely on the square.

Compared with other towns, this town has not only a small number of residents, but also a heinously small number of troops. For a pioneering town like this, if you want to gain a foothold in the wilderness, you must have at least eight A hundred regular army, but what about this town? Barbarian warrior with less than a hundred people.

Even if these Barbarian warriors are powerful, the number of them is too small. After a large-scale battle, the tactical flooding of a sea of ​​people can also drown them. But until now, this town still survives well, which has to make people feel that they have some hole cards.

However, the strength of these Barbarian warriors is indeed very strong. The Barbarian warrior named Johnson on the way here is very likely to reach the strength of the Knight’s leader. I really didn’t expect such a remote little one. In this place, there is a Knight who surpasses the rank of Knight and Great Knight. If he is willing to be loyal to the kingdom, he can at least become a viscount.

In addition to these, what surprised him is that this town has a large number of slaves. In addition to those serfs, there are more than one thousand goblin kobolds and gnoll slaves. The number of these slaves It is already several times more than the urban population, and there is no slave to escape.

There are few free people here, and the overwhelming majority are the slaves of the lord, but the slaves here are completely different from the slaves in other cities. In other places, slaves are not very motivated to work. In many cases, supervisors are required to whip, but slaves here are very active and do not need supervisors to whip at all.

After discovering this situation, Robert was very surprised. After asking some people, he learned that Lord Suren actually promised to pardon the slave as long as he worked seriously for the domain for five years and let him become a Free people. Robert was stunned when he heard the news.

Know that the slave is his personal property, so let the slave work hard instead of relying on the whip of the supervisor? Why release the slave? Does he think he has too much money? Robert could not understand this approach at all. They even established a contribution system for these slaves, earning a small amount of points for serious work every day, or they can also earn points after joining the army and participating in battle.

Only after the points meet the requirements, the slave will be free.

In fact, Suren still hopes to increase the number of free citizens in the town for doing this. After all, if you know that you are always just a slave, can you expect this slave to work hard? impossible. Suren successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of these slaves in this way.

Even after five years, these slaves are restored to free people. They still have nothing. They need to continue to work for Suren before they can get paid. It just changes the exploitation in a more concealed way that's all .

In addition to these, Robert is most curious about the city’s workshop. There is a blacksmith shop on the river outside the city. This is where weapons and equipment are produced, but Robert wants When I entered, I was stopped by someone. There are several such places, one of which is in the workshop next to the lord’s castle, which is also guarded by Barbarian warriors.
