Chapter 114 Bargaining
Wei Yihong raised his head and took a step forward. The knight Lauren who was originally blocking him couldn't help but step back to the side and let go of the blocking body.
Wei Yihong smiled and said: "Judging from the scale and quantity of these equipment, I think Mr. Ryan can also guess that the losses suffered by the horse thieves in our Qingfeng Village are not small.
Since we The losses on both sides are not small. There will definitely be a war in the near future.
Have we won? We naturally need to collect the seizures of those horse thieves to make up for the losses.
However, a large part of the goods may have been stolen by those horse thieves. I am worried that other merchants will have objections to Qingfeng Village's approach. "
Ryan also smiled and said: "Those businessmen did not protect their property and were robbed by horse thieves, but you were the trophies seized from the horse thieves. It was not you who robbed these businessmen. "
Wei Yihong clapped his hands and said: "Isn't that the truth? Your Excellencies in the temple are bleeding and sweating here for the future of the entire human race. How can you let these villains take the opportunity to make a fortune from the national crisis? , No, it’s to make money for the human race.
We in Qingfeng Village are willing to set an example in this regard. All the weapons and equipment obtained from the suppression of the horse thieves this time will be sold to the temple at the price you just gave. "
Ryan nodded and said: "If that's the case, from the perspective of our temple, I still hope that Sir Xu Lai can win.
After Mr. Wei goes back, you might as well ask me whether Mr. Xu Lai is still interested in the Temple's Friendship Medal? ”
Although Wei Yihong had come into contact with the temple before. After all, the priests of the temple were stationed in almost all villages. However, Wei Yihong, who had only been in fashion for a few days, had not yet been able to get in touch with the temple medal.
< br>But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand, he only needs to be responsible for bringing these words to him.
Wei Yihong smiled and said: "I will bring back what Mr. Ryan said, but I just heard your words, it seems. There is still a shortage of wood and stone here in the town. "
Ryan narrowed his eyes and said: "We want to build an arrow tower and a fortress, but the most lacking thing is wood and stone.
There are many horses and grass on the grassland, but there are few mature trees and rocky mountains.
From your tone, it seems that there are some in Qingfeng Village? "
Wei Yihong smiled bitterly and said: "No, in fact, Mr. Xu Lai asked me to look for opportunities to buy some wood in the town before I went out. You also know that Qingfeng Village is still new and there is a lot of need. A place for construction. "
Ryan sighed and said, "Then why do you ask? "
Wei Yihong said: "Although Qingfeng Village also lacks these, we are at the rear after all.
As several knights and Your Excellency have said, if the fortress on the front line cannot be defended, then our rear will inevitably fall.
The buildings being built now will be destroyed by the orcs sooner or later.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let Qingfeng Village be built later, or slow down the construction speed, and give priority to the excess wood and stone for the temple. "
After Wei Yihong finished speaking, several knights and priests present hung their heads in embarrassment. Even Ryan coughed and said:
"Ahem, I'll just say Mr. Xu Lai is sensible.
Of course, we will not let Mr. Xu Lai suffer. Fair dealing has always been the principle of the temple, let alone dealings with heroes.
In this way, I make the decision. The temple is currently in a difficult situation and there is no way to favor him financially. However, I will measure it based on the transaction volume and issue different levels of friendship medals to him appropriately. "
At this time, Tahan's brows were already frowning, but Xu Lai had already taken care of him before coming, asking him not to worry about other things and leaving them to Wei Yihong to make the decision.
However, , Xu Lai is young after all. In his opinion, even if Wei Yihong's business does not do well, at most he will lose the goods he brought.
He did not consider at the time that Wei Yihong could bring equipment whose future was uncertain. Profit is also promised
As for the wood and stone, there is no need to worry too much even if Wei Yihong agrees to go out. If Xu Lai is not satisfied, his own village does not have enough anyway, so he can just use some for his own pleasure.
Although Tahan was anxious, he did not dare to disobey Xu Lai's order and could only remain silent.
Wei Yihong took a deep breath and said to Ryan: "Your Majesty the High Priest, you also know that when we started Qingfeng Village, we did not have many manpower.
Even if we are willing to contribute to mankind, The power is also weak. "
Ryan really understands Xu Lai's situation. At least Xu Lai and the others only had more than 20 people when they left the town, and except for the girl named Su Ya, Others are monsters in the eyes of ordinary people.
Ryan didn't know where Xu Lai got the two people in front of him, but it was conceivable that they had only been separated for more than ten days. No matter how powerful Xu Lai was, he probably didn't have much available manpower.
Wei Yihong knew what he was doing. Xu Lai gave him full authority, but that didn't mean he could make everything for his boss.
If everything he promised today cannot be exchanged for huge benefits for Xu Lai, then Wei Yihong has forced himself into a dead end.
At worst, Xu Lai refuses to admit his guilt. He didn't come in person. Wei Yihong doesn't have Xu Lai's signature or token. Even Tahan can't be counted as a witness.
After all, no one in the entire temple knew them, and no one could prove that Renta Khan was hanging out with Xu Lai.
The most Xu Lai lost was a little face, but Wei Yihong had completely offended his employer.
This is not a society ruled by law, and Wei Yihong will not think that Xu Lai is really easy to talk to just because he looks easy to talk to. Which boss who spent the whole night with horse thieves is easy to talk to. Therefore, he, Wei Yihong, must use all his strength to obtain the greatest benefits for Xu Lai and Qingfeng Village.
Is the previous endorsement from the temple a condition that will greatly help Xu Lai and Qingfeng Village? It can even be said that with this endorsement, Xu Lai will agree to the conditions for his future , will also turn a blind eye.
But Wei Yihong was not satisfied at all. He knew what the biggest shortcoming of Qingfeng Village was. Before setting off, Xu Lai also specifically emphasized to him the resources that should be exchanged first.
Nowadays, it is impossible to have too many gold coins, and resources such as wood cannot be taken away.
Even if he can buy some at a high price, it will indirectly harm the temple, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
So, Wei Yihong used his brains on the most critical population.
“This is indeed a problem. Although we have merged three small towns together, there have been too many people added. Many people can’t even live in a house, and even food is a problem.
If Xu Lai doesn’t mind, I can arrange for some old and weak women and children to go to his village.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Yihong was dumbfounded. He looked at Ryan in disbelief and almost blurted out a shameless sentence.
Being looked at like this, Ryan also blushed. He argued:
"What the frontline lacks most now is strong labor. It takes people to build cities and forts, and it takes people to train militiamen. It takes people to build Weapons require people, and transporting supplies also requires people.
I really can’t allocate other people to you, and the old, weak, women and children can still do a lot of things..."
"His Excellency the High Priest, let me tell you this. Our Qingfeng Village only has six wooden houses so far. Even Your Excellency Xu Lai has to squeeze several people into one room.
If we in Qingfeng Village have the strength, we would be willing to help you with some of your burden. But when these people come to our Qingfeng Village, they may not be able to survive even one night. Aren't you murdering them?
Even if you want to send these old, weak, women and children over, at least give them some strong labor, otherwise they won’t even be able to build a house. "
Lian and the others looked at each other, but they had nothing to say. They even brought up the scandal that there are only 6 wooden houses. If they insist on adding more troops, it would really be the same as murder.
"Well, I can give you up to 20 laborers, but you in Qingfeng Village must also help me deal with 10 households of old, weak, women and children.
It’s not many. There are 50 people in total, 20 laborers, and 30 burdens. It’s fair. ”
Wei Yihong sighed, knowing that asking for people would not work. He took these 50 people back. He didn't know whether Xu Lai would be angry or happy. After all, he had said before that as long as he had a skill.
I sighed silently in my heart. The 30 burdens can be regarded as settlement expenses. What’s more, didn’t Ryan say that it’s not all a burden, and can still do some work.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, since we can't provide manpower, it should be reasonable to provide more tools.
You can't want the horse to run and not let the horse eat at the same time. Damn it, we don’t have tools. Even if we want to help you collect stones and wood, we can’t do it.”
Lian also had a headache. Xu Lai wanted to help. Ryan was touched, but Xu Lai was moved. Ryan was very embarrassed when he arrived with nothing.
He is a priest of the temple who specializes in fighting and preaching. Unlike priests who deal with various affairs, he has rich experience.
"Mr. Wei, if you have any other requests, just say them directly. If you can satisfy them, I will find a way to satisfy them. If you can't, the temple really can't help you."
Wei Yihong said : "We hope to get a batch of tools such as hoes, shovels, axes, saws, trolleys, etc.
In addition, we also hope to get a map of the temple, preferably one that maps everywhere The outdoor buildings are clearly marked. After all, you know that Mr. Xu Lai is a hero and is qualified to visit these locations.
If the temple can also provide treasures that are helpful to Mr. Xu Lai or Qingfeng Village. , then I think Your Excellency Xu Lai will be very grateful and do his best to contribute to all mankind.”
Ryan stared at Wei Yihong for a long time, then snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Wei, I think you are no better than those profiteers outside.
Forget it, I can give you the map, and It is the latest map drawn by the temple after collecting the information provided by the merchants.
However, there are some places that Xu Lai is not qualified to go to. The entire grassland is the territory of Count Aini. If you want to visit the building, you must obtain permission from Count Ani.
Of course, Count Ani has a lot of things to do, and there is a large part of the area that he has no time to manage.
I will deal with this part later. I have marked the area, and Xu Lai had better only move within the area I marked, otherwise if something happens, the temple cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the nobles
I can give you some tools, but the number should not be too many. I will ensure that each household that migrates can get one or two tools at most.
As you know, there are no extra iron ingots to make farm tools now. We use one less piece here.
But because of Xu Lai’s sincerity, I can give him a few useful treasures.
You can leave the weapons and equipment you brought later and go back with the map and treasures. If he thinks they are useful, he can contribute more. If he thinks they are not to his liking, I can only accumulate them for him. Merit into the temple. ”
