Chapter VI Development Order
The location of the noble council is not difficult to find. Just in the square next to the lord's mansion, the noble council is located in the city second only to the temple and the lord's mansion. The entire building is located on a three-story base, with twelve large granite stone pillars with a diameter of one meter in thickness, with a hemispherical dome above it.
The heroes in the history of the Florence Kingdom are carved on the stone pillars, and the reliefs on the walls are important historical events since the founding of the Florence Kingdom. The entire noble parliament looks grand and grand.
At the gate of the main gate are two bronze statues riding horses, namely Charlemagne and Wilson. These two are the strongest legendary knights in the kingdom's history and the highest commander of the kingdom. The two statues of war horses stood up, holding spears and pointing to the front, as if they were leading the thousands of troops to the battle.
The bronze statue is four or five meters high, and its carved fine hair is vivid and lifelike. It looks majestic at first glance. Needless to ask, it is known that it was written by a master.
Su Lun walked up the steps in three steps and was stopped by a guard as soon as he stood at the gate.
"Sir, this is the noble council, what's wrong with you?"
Sulun took out his noble badge and handed it to him and said, "I want to buy a pioneer order."
The guard took the noble badge and carefully identified it. The patterns on it were indeed real, so he returned the badge to Su Lun.
"Sir, please come with me." The guard made a gesture of invitation and then took Sulun into the noble council.
When he arrived in the hall, Su Lun discovered how magnificent the hall was. The entire hall was at least 500 square meters and the height was more than ten meters. The entire hall was covered with a semicircular dome. What was even more amazing was that there was no pillar in such a wide hall.
On the dome of the hall, there is also a mural depicting the Founding of the Kingdom of China. It is also because of this war that the Kingdom of Florence defeated the invaders and gained independence.
More than a dozen clerks were busy in the hall. Sulun and the guards did not disturb these people. They led the guards to Sulun and came to a beautifully carved iron-wood door.
When Su Lun saw this wooden door, he was also shocked. The material of the wooden door is not cheap. This is iron wood that grows only in the north. This wood is as hard as iron, not easy to deform or burn, but weighs only one-quarter of the steel. However, it grows slowly. Generally, it is used to make high-end shields. A piece of such a large piece will have to grow for at least fifty years.
The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no reaction in the room. After waiting for a while, the guard increased his strength and knocked on the door again. This time, some movement finally came from the room.
"Come in." A somewhat lazy voice rang behind the door.
The two of them opened the door and entered. The room did not look luxurious. There was a mahogany desk, several bookshelves, and several relatively high-back chairs. At this time, a somewhat obese middle-aged nobleman was sitting behind the desk. From his somewhat blurred eyes, the red marks on his side face and the crystal liquid on the corners of his lips, it can be inferred that this person was sleeping just now.
"His Excellency Julian, this gentleman is here to buy the Pioneer Order." The guard pointed at Sulun and said.
"Purchase the pioneer order?" When Julian heard the guard's words, he looked at Su Lun in surprise, and even the eyes were wiped out.
He could not help but be surprised. You must know that he might not be able to sell a few pieces of the Kaituo Ling here in a year. Although the Kaituo Ling looks beautiful, there are only a handful of them who have truly succeeded. Most of the nobles who bought the Kaituo Ling ended up giving up their territory in shame and returned.
"Yes, Lord Julian." Sulun smiled at Julian with a smile.
"Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't think that after reading a few knight novels, you will think that it's no big deal to open up the territory. You must know that there are not a thousand or eight hundred abandoned territories in the wilderness now." Julian glanced at Sulun and said.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your reminder. I know very well what I am doing." Sulun said calmly.
"Okay, don't blame me for not reminding you at that time." Julian shrugged, then took a piece of parchment paper with a stamped seal from the bookshelf behind him, picked up the quill next to him and wrote down a line of flower letters in the blank space of the parchment, and handed it to Sulun.
"Sign up your name and pay 500 kinner."
Sulun picked up a pen and signed his signature on the roll, and then put the prepared bag of Jinnar on the table.
Julian put Jinnar on a balance to weigh it. After confirming the quantity, he picked up the seal and stamped it on the parchment paper.
"Okay, boy, go with your pioneering order, and wish you good luck!"
Sulun took the pioneer order and thanked him and turned around and left the noble parliament. Next he needed to recruit a group of men. It was not easy to expand the territory. He needed to prepare a large amount of kinner. In addition to recruiting a territory guard, he also needed to buy food, tools, medicine, etc. After the territory was initially stable, he also had to buy slaves to farm.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to recruit free people, but that few free people are willing to follow the nobles to the newly opened territory. Although the pioneering nobles offer various preferential conditions for free people, very few are willing to go there. Only those bankrupt farmers or unemployed refugees will be moved. After all, the mortality rate of pioneering territory is too high.
After looking at the time, it was already dim. Su Lun did not go to the slave market anymore and went back to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, I had a simple breakfast in the hotel. Sulun spent a silver a carriage to rent a carriage to go to the slave market.
The slave market was located on the other side of the city. It took half an hour to stop at the entrance of a lively market. Sulun jumped out of the carriage and walked into the slave market.
The northern province is located in the border of the kingdom, and there are many sub-ethnic races or tribes that are still in primitive society. Every year, the kingdom's army will fight local wars with these ethnic tribes and obtain many prisoners from the war. This is also one of the sources of slaves in the slave market. There are also professional slave hunting teams who go to the wilderness to capture them. Of course, there are also unlucky guys who can't pay back their debts and are sold as slaves.
When you walk into the slave market, you will see an unpleasant smell, such as the smell of various excrement being soaked and then heated and fermented. Sewage flows across the ground, and on both sides of the road are some slave merchants shouting, locking up many thin and dirty slaves in the cage behind them.
Most of these slaves were naked, with only a dirty rag on their hips covering them. Many slaves still had signs of whipping, their eyes were dull and they were completely unhappy. These were the lowest-class slaves.
