My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 300 Pirate Trails

dong! dong! dong!

“Come in!”

Gervais sits in the castle study, rubbing his head Shout out to the outside.

In the past few days, except that in the morning, Gervais would enter the cultivation space, and in the afternoon, he basically stayed in this study, thinking about whether there were any omissions in the preparations for the Southern Expedition, whether the arrangement of the territory was reasonable, and thinking about it. These things consume the most brain power, and even the physique named Knight can’t help but feel a little tired.

When Gervais’s voice fell, Thomas pushed open the door and came to Gervais respectfully.

“Sir, there is another caravan in Binhai Town today!”

“Oh? Where did it come from?”

Gervais asked , was not surprised that his remote storm led the caravan.

Because Storm Lord has already had three caravans in the short Nine Heavens, Gervais doesn’t know if it’s a coincidence or something to do with the golden wine.

However, when the caravan came, Gervais would send Thomas to check and confirm.

These caravans have complete procedures to prove, and they even have permission to trade in Jones’ territory in Winterfell.

“My lord, when I asked about it, they said they were from the Lambry Counties, and they also applied for permission from the Rose Castle.”

This world is different from the counts. Taxes must be collected for the trade in the country, and in order to prevent unknown people from roaming in the territory, the caravan needs to go to the main city to obtain a certificate every time it reaches a count territory, so that it can be unimpeded in the count territory.

“Oh? Lambree count collar, that’s quite far, but we only have more than 2,000 storm collars. Did they say why they came?”

Lambu There is still a count collar between Li collar and Jones collar. They came here to do business, but they are really not close.

“Sir, they said they were planning to go to Xike Baron, but Xike Baron was also attacked by pirates the day before yesterday. The entire Xike Baron is under martial law, and their caravan still has some things. There was no game for sale, so he came to Stormland.”

“Has Baron’s been attacked by pirates again?”

Hearing Thomas’ answer, Gervais sat up straight. There was a serious look on his face.

When Igor came to convey the summons, he also brought news to Gervais that there were pirates on the coast of Jones’s territory during this time, and three Baron leaders had been harassed.

Although the loss is not very big, only some mountain villages by the sea were looted, but because the civilians harvested the last season of wheat some time ago, this time it is all cheaper for pirates.

According to Igor, these pirates numbered in the hundreds and moved quickly, retreating immediately after sneak attacking one or two villages, which made it impossible for the lords to pursue even if they were sneak attacked. pirate.

This matter has been reported to Rose Fort by the Barons, and Rose Fort is also mobilizing ships, but in general, it will take some time to have the strength to deal with these pirates.

There are not many ships at sea in this world, and it can even be said that there are almost no ships. Only a few count families have large ships, and most of them are used for transshipment of goods.

These ships are old ships that have been in use for many years, and Gervais has never heard of a shipyard in Jones’ territory.

Gervais also thought about using ships to transfer goods for development, but he checked a lot of books in the study and found that there was no information about shipbuilding and navigation. Gervais thought that there were not enough books in his study, but Rose Castle. In such a large study, it seems that there are no books on this subject.

Shipbuilding and nautical knowledge seem to be under control, and Gervais doesn’t know if this is the work of the church and the former dynasty, or if there are other reasons.

“Yes, my lord, that’s what the caravan steward said! It should be believed.”

Thomas replied respectfully nodded.

“Thomas, tomorrow is the harvest festival, you will send my order to Laurie later, let him take his squad to the sea, always pay attention to the situation at sea, if there is anything, come back immediately Warning!”

Gervais pondered for a moment and told Thomas.

Although pirates only dare to sneak attack on one or two villages, but Gervais’ territory is only more than 2,000 people, not counting slaves, he can’t afford to lose the population, even more how there have been cases of such territory being attacked , Gervais couldn’t help but prepare.

Even if he is famous for his tyranny, there is no guarantee that some pirates will be malicious because of the reputation of golden wine.

Gervais actually has a speculation that since there are so few ships in this world, but there are still pirates, it may not be that there are no shadows of nobles behind them.

Although there are occasional rumors in the dukedom that the ship was taken away by traitors and escaped, but who knows if it was acting.

“Yes! Your Excellency!”

“In addition, the three caravans are also optimistic, although they have valid reasons, but I think their target is likely to be the vine !”

The caravan has a certificate issued by Winterfell, which means that there are roots to be found, so Gervais is not worried that they will do anything to threaten the territory.

But Gervais wouldn’t believe that the three caravans were obediently and honestly doing business, probably with the idea of a golden wine.

Iger came to Rose Castle this time, and Gervais invited him to have a meal at noon. At the long table, Iger was also an old acquaintance of Gervais, and began to explain to Gervais about the noble circles in the dukedom Several of the most lively things were discussed, the most interesting of which was the king’s order about Jones’s collar.

The other is about the golden wine of Gervais, and Igor also focuses on the evaluation and desire of the nobles for the golden wine.

Gervais sells half of the golden wines bought by guests who attended Alice’s birthday party.

People never forget the delicious taste of wine, and because the quantity of wine is scarce, it is now out of stock, and the price of gold wine has been smashed to an incredible height, that is, 5 gold coins in a pot , don’t think it’s expensive, even a pot of 5 gold coins can’t be bought anywhere.

Nowadays, if there are guests among the nobles, as long as the host takes out the wine, it will be a lot of face. thing.

A guest can drink a glass of wine at any house, no doubt, this is definitely the highest standard of courtesy.

As a result of these various things, the nobles who have never drank wine become more eager and crazy, and they do everything possible to buy a pot of wine to taste it.

Unfortunately, the first batch of this wine is only more than 2,000 pots in total, which is still an utterly inadequate measure compared to the large and small nobles in the entire dukedom.

Many smart nobles have seen the huge benefits behind wine, and they want to get the raw materials and brewing process of wine at high prices.

The raw materials of wine have spread, people know that if you want to make wine, you must get vines, so there are countless nobles who have coveted vines.

If anyone can get the vine, there will definitely be a lot of nobles rushing to get it at a high price.
