Lord of Riding and Slashing

"The second thing is that you must open the door of the store tomorrow morning and start normal business. From tomorrow onwards, the market must resume normal work without affecting the lives of civilians. Can you do this?"

Hearing the second request from Scholar Hill, these merchants immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because this is not an excessive request. In fact, there is no need for Scholar Hill to remind them. As soon as the smoke of war is over, they will open the door themselves. After all, they opened the door for business, and closed the door just for safety.

Now that it is safe now, it is only natural for the shop to open, so before Scholar Hill finished speaking, the businessmen on the opposite side echoed.

"No problem. Lord Hill, I will open the door early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely support your work."

"This is a small matter, Mr. Hill, please rest assured that restoring order in the market is the common responsibility of each of our merchants."

Right here, a voice in the crowd said weakly:

"Master Hill, do you have any other requests?"

All of a sudden, the whole grain store fell silent, and the businessmen didn't care to see who said such an inappropriate sentence. They were afraid of getting into trouble, because the businessmen didn't know the temperament of Scholar Hill, so their eyes were tightly closed. Staring at Scholar Hill, he wanted to see the reaction of Scholar Hill, and also wanted to know if Scholar Hill had any other requests.

Because the businessman asked questions that other people wanted to ask but were afraid to ask, the two things that Scholars Hill said before were not considered requirements at all in their view.

This made them feel very uncomfortable. Under the rule of the Chrisson family, they have never encountered any excessive demands. Moreover, Butler Barry would never speak to them so politely. He always spoke in an orderly tone. Everything seems to be the same as it should be.

Although this is always a good thing for the merchants, they feel something is wrong in their hearts. If the nobles don't squeeze their wool, are they still called nobles? They couldn't believe that there were such nobles.

Scholar Hill looked at the businessman who asked him with great interest, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. These businessmen were really cooperative, and even offered to ask Scholar Hill to make a request, but Scholar Hill and the Krissen family A group of people is different, he has his own bottom line.

Moreover, Scholar Hill thinks Lord Nord is also such a person. Judging from Nord's daily behavior, although Nord usually looks very easy-going and seems to have no temper, in fact he can't rub the sand in his eyes at all.

Nord has zero tolerance for some behaviors, one of which is bullying poor people, so Scholars Hill will not do these things, just like this time Nord drew his sword and killed Viscount Ollie without any hesitation Well, being good-tempered doesn't mean being easy to bully, Nord is also jealous.

But Scholar Hill thought about it again, and there is really one requirement, so Scholar Hill smiled and said:

"Since you want to know what other requests I have, let me tell you that there is indeed one request. This is an order issued by Viscount Nord himself, and you must obey it."

Speaking of this, Scholar Hill purposely bought a pass, just to see the reactions of these merchants. Sure enough, when Scholar Hill said that the lord still has requests, the merchants all looked like it finally came. , the expression we have been waiting for for a long time.

However, Scholars Hill didn't make them wait too long, just teased them, and then said the ban after Nord discussed with him.

"This order is for the next period of time. None of you can leave Fort Isaac. The soldiers of Viscount Nord will block the entire territory of Fort Isaac. They can only enter and cannot exit. It is the same for anyone. Anyone who follows this order shall be executed as a spy."

The faces of the merchants who heard this order changed greatly. The role of the merchants is to promote the flow of goods. If they are confined in one place, then what is the meaning of their existence, and they can't understand the meaning of the lord's actions. The other lords were just greedy for their money, and they couldn't understand Nord's approach at all.

But since it was the lord's order, they didn't dare to refute it. After all, people are knives and I am fish. How can they resist? They can endure it silently. restricted freedom.

Hill scholars did not expect them to have such a big reaction. Hill scholars believe that although this order will have some impact on these merchants, the consequences will not be so serious, because Nord has let go of their shackles. , there are no other requirements other than paying taxes.

Therefore, Scholars Hill thinks that this matter is not so difficult to implement, and the reaction of these businessmen makes it difficult for Scholars Hill, because he cannot tell the truth of the matter to these businessmen, because it involves Nord’s strategic issues , so it is difficult to explain to them.

Scholar Hill had no choice but to comfort that this was a businessman, and signaled them to be calm.

"I don't know how long this order will last, but what I can tell you is that it will only last for a while, and when the time is right, we will give you back your freedom, and Lord Nord will give you some compensation, that is, in the future All kinds of business activities of yours, as long as they do not involve the security of the territory, are allowed by him, that is to say, you can do whatever business you want, including food."

The merchants have some things. They didn't expect Nord to be so generous. You must know that the grain industry is a huge profiteering industry in the hands of the Krissen family. Just let it go, is he really not interested in money? (I haven't touched money, I'm really not interested in money, hahaha).

This made the businessman feel better. Since Master Nord is not doing it for money, then even if he has other considerations, these businessmen have no right to intervene, but they are still a little moved after hearing the compensation from the lord. , after all Lord Nord thought of their feelings.

Unlike other nobles who choose to be high above them, looking down on them is like looking at a group of ants, so they are very relieved. Although their freedom is restricted for a while, they can meet a lord who cares about them. These merchants don't know Whether it is good or bad for yourself.

Looking at the elegant and easy-going Scholars Hill, these businessmen were not as restrained as before, so they directly expressed their doubts.

"Master Hill, we will cooperate with Lord Nord and you, but I still have a question. If we can't leave, where will our goods be sold?"

Hearing this question, Scholar Hill thought about it. He had discussed this issue with Nord before, but he hadn’t settled on a result. He just planned to supply the goods from Tammy Village to Fort Isaac, but he didn’t know how to do it. It is settled, because there are not so many people under Nord's men to deal with this matter, so this matter has been shelved, but now this group of businessmen have brought it up again, it means that this matter has reached the urgency the point.

Thank you Wuji Yuanchen for the monthly pass.

At the end of the month, I will post a single chapter to summarize.
