Chapter 7 Outrageous Price

"It's hard to imagine that such a dirty place is actually the capital of the kingdom!"

A sharp scream came from Ronan's ear.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with a broken expression shouting in surprise. Not far from her, a woman in a sackcloth skirt splashed the feces from the pottery basin expressionlessly on the street.

The former took a big step back, covering his face and trembling.

Other passers-by turned a blind eye to the woman's behavior, but instead looked at the screaming lady with contempt.

After all, the only one who can react like this is the noble.

Recently, a large number of nobles who fled from other places to take refuge in Triumph City. Some of the small and medium-sized nobles were not qualified to enter the comfort zone of upper-class society such as the Central Palace after losing the support of their territory.

Under the pressure of life, I had to move to the periphery, which really made the residents here watch a lot of jokes.

In this era of lack of entertainment, it is a great topic for civilians to see the embarrassing performance of noble men.

"The ground here is really dirty. I heard that the environment in other cities in the Kingdom is not as bad as Triumph City, so I can't figure it out."

Ed looked at his feet and sighed. Even he didn't like to step on a pile of excrement.

"Precisely because it is the capital, the initial urban planning cannot keep up with the speed of population development and lacks cleaning staff, so it is inevitable that it will be severe."

Ronan looked at the densely packed houses next to the street.

The initial architectural plan of Triumph City only considered the daily life of a population of 100,000, but in the decades of its completion, the population soared to nearly 500,000.

The comfort zone of the nobles occupied a large area of ​​land in the center, with a large population crowded in a narrow environment, and the domestic waste generated was nowhere to be piled up, and the public health system could not keep up, and gradually formed the dirty cities today.

In fact, compared to the past, the environment on the streets here has been improved.

Due to the attack of the Black Death, fewer people live here and naturally become cleaner.

The Chamber of Commerce Center of Triumph City is built at the entrance of the South City Gate with the most crowded flow of people. Since it is no longer a residential area nearby, the ground can at least be lifted.

Ronan got off Ed and entered it.

In the central hall, there is a huge notice board with parchment scrolls full of transaction information posted on it.

Ronan found a nearby receptionist and asked him to bring the recently sold territorial list in front of him.

At the same time, he took out a map that roughly depicts the distribution of mainland forces and fell into thinking.

The continent where Ronan is now located is divided into two by a huge stretch of mountains. It is called the Death Mountains. On the other side is a barren area where monsters rage, and it is also a terrifying threat that initially prompted the establishment of the empire.

On this side of the mountain range is the powerful Divine Ao Empire.

The empire consists of seven major subjects, including the Ordovician Kingdom directly ruled by the emperor, the Northern Lion Principality guarding the mountains of death, the Coral Principality on the peninsula, the Elf Kingdom with the largest forest area, the holy land ruled by the church, the Bachelor's Fort formed by countless academies, and the Dantuma Alliance, a city-state community formed by merchants.

The owner of the Triumph City Chamber of Commerce Center where Ronan is now located is a senior executive in the Dantuma Alliance. He also serves in the palace and serves as the general person in charge of currency issuance.

The gold and silver currency popular in the Shen'ao Empire is precisely because of the gold plating technology that is difficult to replicate by the Dantuma Alliance, which makes the cost of imitation much higher than the value of the gold coins themselves.

In addition, it can be circulated in chambers of commerce established in the Dantuma Alliance across the empire, so the value of gold coins was unanimously recognized by the lords.

Only in this era can a unified monetary unit be established.

After receiving the price list handed over by the receptionist, Ronan's brow jumped.

Although he knew that the nobles were greedy, he did not expect that they could be so outrageous.

The cheapest territory on the list costs more than 30,000 gold coins, which is a mountainous area far away from the capital and located on the border of the kingdom. It is sparsely populated and has no ore, making it difficult to grow food.

Good guy, during the prosperity of your territory, can you get fifty gold coins in a year? How dare you sell 30,000 yuan? Are you crazy?

Ronan can understand the mood of these fiefdom nobles. The fiefdom can be said that the foundation on which a family relies on this era is the belief that many nobles are more precious than their lives. Their true value is difficult to measure with money. Who is willing to give up unless they have to?

But this price is pure dreaming.

No wonder he has not heard many rumors of fiefdom handover during this period. It seems that the transaction about fiefdom has just begun.

Foreign nobles want to sell at high prices, but are unwilling to sell at a low price.

The nobles in the city are waiting for a three-month period. If you don’t sell it, you will be driven back to your fiefdom. Then the price will not be decided by you.

On the other hand, they are also buying time for themselves. After all, after buying the fiefdom, the three-month deadline is on their heads.

Luo Nan flipped through the list and ignored the fiefs that were close to Triumph City and had a superior geographical location.

These places have long been booked by the descendants of the big family, and they do not meet his expectations of being away from the center, let alone he can't afford it.

Finally, he set his goal in one of the positions.

"Cold Wind Collar"

Located in the northernmost border area of ​​the kingdom, there are many mountains and hills in the territory. Further north is the deserted ice field.

The advantage is that it is remote enough and the Hanfeng Ling covers a wide range. Even if you are brave enough, the super-large unmanned land in the north can be regarded as your own territory.

Moreover, the vast land and sparse population are a disadvantage for other lords, but it is just right for Ronan.

No matter how big the news he makes, it won't attract attention.

As for the price of the Cold Wind, Ronan directly ignored it. This number has no practical significance. The seller is completely priced at the land price of Triumph City.

"Baron Exter, contact address 18 Violet Street, Lake Center Avenue, Southwest."

Ronan recorded the other party’s position. If such a transaction is established, the key is to have a face-to-face discussion between the two parties.

In fact, after seeing the place where the other party is now living, Luo Nan was already confident.

In Triumph City, the comfort zones of the nobles are divided by level, and there are three major areas from top to bottom.

The one at the top is undoubtedly the Central Palace, and the one in the middle is the Triumph Avenue next to the church area.

Finally, there is the lake center avenue built around Lake St. Peter in recent years.

Due to lack of background, the nobles of Lake Heart Avenue could only spend money constantly in order to improve their status and show their face.

All of them choose the most expensive food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, clothing and expenses, so that people in the entire area have developed a luxury and enjoyment atmosphere.

And they extremely despise the lives of civilians. If the local nobles hold banquets that do not meet the requirements of guests, they will be boycotted or even expelled!

Baron Exter is obviously a nobleman who pursues dignity and disdains to mingle in the living areas of civilians.

But Ronan did not feel that a small noble in a remote mountainous area could afford the cost of living on Lake Heart Avenue.

The baron was probably already anxiously waiting for his arrival.
