"I killed this bastard right!" Nalant really wanted to vomit three liters of blood. Naturally, he had never issued such an order. Anthony must have secretly issued this food requisition without telling him.
If Anthony had not been killed by his own hands, Narante would have had to find him and kill him again to relieve his anger.
"Vivian, give him some food, not too much, fill his stomach first!" Looking at the dying village chief, Nalant ordered.
Later, the guards fed the village chief some food along with water.
After resting for a while, the village chief's face finally recovered a little. He immediately knelt down and said repeatedly: "Thank you Lord Lord for the gift. Lord Lord, I realize that I have made a mistake. Please spare me!"
"Get up! What's your name!" Nalant waved his hand.
"Back to the lord, my name is Peter Leather Boots!"
"Ahem! This last name...is a bit interesting...!"
Narant was caught off guard and almost choked, but the surnames of serfs in this world are all the same.
Elegant surnames belonged to the nobility, and serfs or commoners would not dare to use them.
For example, normal names such as Tulip or Berwick are exclusive to nobles. As for serfs, they either don't have them, or they can only have sticks, stones or even cow dung.
Next, Narant asked for more details about Anthony's food collection.
He originally wanted to recover the grain, but according to Peter Boots, the grain had been shipped to the barony of Quint next door.
Although the Barony of Quint is Nalant's closest noble neighbor, it already belongs to the Black Iron Earl. It is also the only place where the citizens of Stormland usually buy daily necessities.
Antony transported the grain there and apparently exchanged the grain for money.
"Asshole!" Narant couldn't help but yelled.
He learned from Peter that Anthony's search was very thorough this time. There were about a thousand people in the entire Maiye Village, and the food left by all the villagers could only meet their rations for the next month.
But the problem is that it will take at least three or four months to get the next good harvest.
"More than a thousand people, only enough food for one month!" Narant took a deep breath, this was bad news.
"Ding! System side mission, the serfs in the Storm Territory are your private property. As a lord, you can't just watch them starve to death. You have to find a way to let the serfs survive the next four months until the next time.
Good harvest!"
"Mission reward: the appearance of the second lucky girl!"
Just when Nalant was worried, the voice of the system came from his mind.
"Huh? The second lucky girl?" Nalant was stunned, but the appearance of this task diluted his anger a little.
Narant has already seen Vivian's ability. He is very much looking forward to the arrival of the second lucky girl, so he is very happy to see this mission come.
"Where is Anthony's residence?" Suppressing his thoughts, Narant began to deal with business.
Before he could get anyone to collect Anthony's belongings, it seemed necessary to search his house.
"Go back to Lord, that's the building!" Peter Boots said, pointing to the only two-story building on the edge of the square.
Only then did Nalant notice that it was the only stone house in Maiye Village. Although the surface was covered with moss, it was considered the most solid and luxurious house in the village.
…
Two hundred kilograms of coarse wheat flour, ten kilograms of fine wheat flour, fifty kilograms of bacon, a barrel of wheat beer, two kilograms of Warcraft meat...
A set of silver tableware, five gold coins, thirty silver coins, some copper coins...
Nalant's face gradually darkened as he looked at the things the guards were carrying out from the stone house.
Anthony, this bastard, actually lives a better life than him. That monster meat costs one gold coin per kilogram.
In the memory of the original owner, he had only eaten World of Warcraft meat once. It was purchased specially by his baron father during his 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
"Sir, except for the carriage in the backyard, everything in the stone house has been moved!" Quick and Vivian reported.
"Well, send five people to take these things back to the castle and give them to Thomas!" Nalant nodded and put down the silver spoon in his hand.
He has been able to confirm that this set of silver tableware is genuine and is very different from the silver-plated Xibei set in his castle. This set of silver tableware is worth at least five gold coins.
The total value of all the items just found in the stone house is at least fifteen gold coins.
The monetary system of this world is precious metals. 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, 1 silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins, and one gold coin is equivalent to the purchasing power of 10,000 yuan in the previous life.
It has to be said that although Anthony deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, the final spoils were advantageous to him, and the system tasks were also triggered. This was a blessing in disguise. After all, with Nalant's character, he could not do such tyrannical expropriation.
Soon, Quick arranged for five guards to transport all the items back to the castle in a carriage.
"Vivian, give Peter a silver coin and let him buy some food first!" He had a general understanding of the situation in Maiye Village, and he would need to continue to patrol.
"Thank you Lord for the gift!" Peter Leather Boots was so moved that he knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.
…
"Vivian, do you know how much a pound of wheat is?" After setting off again, Nalant began to think about how to complete the tasks issued by the system.
To prevent the serfs from starving to death, Nalant's only way now is to buy grain.
He didn't have much food in the castle. When he came, he only loaded a carriage with it, which was enough to feed the guards and him for more than a month.
"Sir, if you go to the Baron of Quinte to buy it, you will need thirty copper coins per pound!"
"Well, so expensive?" Narant was stunned. Thirty copper coins were equivalent to thirty yuan. Even if he didn't understand the prices of things in this world, Narant thought it was ridiculously high.
Seeing Nalant's confusion, Vivian continued to answer, "Sir, Baron Quint collects taxes on the items sold by our serfs in the Storm Territory. Whether buying or selling, there is a three-fold price difference, otherwise he will not allow it."
Let’s go to the Baron of Quint to trade!”
"If you buy it in other territories within the Tulip Earldom, it should be ten copper coins per pound!"
