Construction is still going on in the territory in full swing.

The guards in the village are the troops left behind by Godric, flying the Three Lions flag.

Godric seemed to be very contractual. During the two months when Li Ang's entire army was deployed, there were still many troops in White Deer Castle guarding Maixiangling.

This was indeed quite good, and Li Ang was even a little moved.

But after entering the village, Li Ang always felt that there seemed to be more than a few dozen troops flying the Three Lions flag around him. He felt as if he saw several groups of Godric's people along the way...

Seeing a group of archers forming a team in the village, Li Ang went up and asked.

"Has anything happened recently? I see there are quite a few of you..."

The leading archer said calmly: "Lord Li Ang, a group of bandits came here a month ago, led by a few knights."

It seems that there are many people who have their own ideas...

"Do you know who it is?"

Li Ang asked.

"They didn't enter the village. They were seen by another team of guys who had changed defense before. They said they were all kinds of people, like a group of bandits."

Li Ang was indeed grateful to Godric sincerely.

Fortunately, he left his troops here...

Otherwise, who knows what those gangsters might do?

"Lord Godric and you are not here, so we reported this matter to Miss Amy. In order to prevent your territory from being attacked, Miss Amy sent two hundred more people to patrol several times... and then those bandits

He left and never came near again."

Li Ang breathed out, Miss Amy is a good person... He felt that he should thank her.

Moreover, judging from what the archer meant, when Godric was away, Amy actually had the final say in White Deer Castle?

So he sincerely planned to invite the archers to have a drink and understand the situation.

But his invitation was politely rejected.

The leading archer said: "Since you have come back, my lord, our mission has been completed. Miss Amy asked us to return to White Deer Castle immediately after seeing you. There can be no delay. Sorry, sir."

After that, I was ready to say goodbye.

Li Ang had no choice but to stuff him with ale and send them away.

What a good ally, Li Ang sighed.

But as soon as the group of archers left, Leslie, who was in charge of logistics, found Li Ang with a puzzled face: "Sir, our food is a lot less... The warehouses are empty! We must quickly replenish food! But this season is not good.

Buy it..."

Only then did Li Ang react...

Amy, this cunning little girl...

It turns out it wasn’t out of good intentions!

She wanted Mai Xiang to provide food to help Bailu Castle raise troops!

Hundreds of people came here to eat for more than a month!

And you have to let them eat freely, and maybe even take them with you - they are here to protect their territory! You have to sincerely thank them!

Godric's 'preliminary investment' was taken back with interest in one breath...

Unexpectedly, a girl who looks cute, cute, and polite is actually more scheming than Godric...

Sure enough, all noble families are full of human spirits!

Leslie was extremely anxious: "Sir, it is early January, the coldest time of winter. It is difficult to purchase large-scale food during this time! What should we do?"

The Lord Lord sighed: "Leslie, don't worry, the food seller will probably arrive soon..."

Li Ang was very calm, he felt that Godric's daughter probably had some backup plans.

Sure enough, just one day later, Li Ang received a letter with beautiful handwriting.

"Your Excellency Baron Li Ang, White Deer Castle would like to remind you that your territory is at least four months away from the next grain harvest. Although White Deer Castle is not rich either, due to the close alliance between the two parties, White Deer Castle is still willing to

Try your best to help..."

The lower half of the letter is a list of unit prices for various foods - it looks similar to the menu in Li Ang's 'Food World'.

It looks like they copied the same style...

Even the quotation method and operation mode are copied - the prices have doubled! They are also marked with 'door-to-door delivery' and 'cash on delivery'...

The letter was signed "General Manager of Bailubao Grain and Oil Company—Amy".

"Awesome...amazing...I learned it so quickly!"

The Lord Lord looked at it and shook his head.

Once a capitalist's methods are seen through, others will naturally imitate them.

But Li Ang really didn't expect that the first one to imitate would be the innocent and harmless looking girl Amy.

Moreover, the routine is so powerful - during this time, all the surrounding villages will stock up on food for the winter, and generally will not sell it.

If you go to places like Changhe Town to purchase, not to mention whether you can buy it or not, even if you buy it, you will probably only have half of it left when you send it back to be chewed. After all, there will definitely be losses on the road, and a large number of people will have to be dispatched.

Soldiers escorted to prevent looting.

Amy made full use of the right time, place, and people, forcing herself to go to her place to buy food at a high price.

In fact, Li Ang didn't feel aggrieved. He now has the mental capacity to bear it - this is just a normal phenomenon after getting rich suddenly.

White Deer Castle just wants to calculate some dinars, and they have indeed provided protection for their territory. The protection fee is cost-effective, much more cost-effective than the king's lance.

And doubling the price is not outrageous in the cold winter - to be honest, if it were Li Ang himself, he could double the price five times!

Besides, dinars are something that is earned only to be spent - you can earn more only by spending it, but you can't pup if you keep it in your hands.

Compared to buying food at high prices, Li Ang cared more about the gangsters.

According to what the archer said, those bandits were led by a few knights, so they were obviously not serious bandits.

Li Ang is more worried about the kind of knights who have no lower limit - such as Rainier. The way these people act is often traceable, and no one knows what they will do next.

In comparison, the actions of Archduke Alma or King Ulric will be relatively easy to judge.

It's nothing more than ambition-driven and profit-driven. A little reverse thinking will make sense.

But the behavioral logic of certain animals... naturally cannot be substituted by humans.

So Li Ang wrote a letter to confirm the situation: "Dear General Manager Amy, please send someone to deliver the food. I have the money ready. Also, do you have the whereabouts of those gangsters?"

One day later, more than a dozen carts of grain were pulled over, along with Amy's reply: "They retreated a month ago, and I don't know where they are now. Please be careful."

Then it would be difficult to determine whether the gangsters were hiding somewhere and peeping. There are currently few troops in the village, which is quite worrying.

Li Ang had no choice but to start from the territory itself, strengthen armaments and increase defenses.

He asked the crossbowmen who were familiar with the mercenary trade to recruit mercenaries separately. This was the most expensive but also the fastest way to increase the number of troops in the short term. Anyway, he had money now.

Within the territory, the lord also began to vigorously train all the people in the territory to supplement the military strength.

Relying on his wealth and the fact that he could buy food to survive when the number of people was small, Li Ang directly recruited all troops.

All the young people between the ages of 15 and 35 among the people in the territory were recruited, regardless of men and women - in fact, the vast majority of the people in the territory were young people, and most of the old and weak ones were killed when Rainier burned the village.

The lord plans to conduct a large-scale military training.

But accidents always come sooner than expected.

Before the crossbowmen came back and the new recruits started training, trouble came first.

Lisa Dilan is back.

The Noldor Elf was covered in wounds and ran back extremely exhausted. He brought back a comatose man in black. It seemed that he had finally completed the task assigned by Li Ang.

But his first words when he saw Li Ang were terrible news:

"Lord Li Ang, a large army is coming here! At least a thousand people!"
Chapter completed!
