Chapter 047. Current overall data
A few more days passed.
With the dawn of dawn, a new 1 week continues to begin.
However, the first system message that appeared was about the payment of troops' salaries.
1384 dinars disappeared outright.
At present, Kant's deposit is only 2,452 dinars, and when you think about the huge deposit of nearly 6,000 dinars a few days ago, more than half of it has now been consumed, and I have to sigh that maintaining the army is simply burning money.
Just like the current sentry oasis, there are only 300 troops, and the cost is 1,500 dinars per week.
The maintenance of the troops' salaries is, of course, the main expense.
The amount of food that can be consumed per week is also more than 100 dinars.
Inside the Consulate.
Kant was also bothered by these trifles.
The dialog on the retina disappeared, and Kant couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
The threat of the gnolls disappears for the time being.
Without the enemy, the development of the Sentry Oasis needs to be put back on the agenda.
After all, the current "Dehrim" is still in its rudimentary form, and the buildings that can be built have not yet been built, and most of the peasants and soldiers sleep in simple tents and sand pits at night.
Open the data list.
Kant's mind moves slightly, communicating the system in his mind.
And the system instantly pops up the current data list on his retina.
………………
【Drehem】
【Lord: Kant】
[Deposit: 2,452 dinars]
【General: Fatis】
【Category:Swadia Village】
[Current population: 200 people]
[Buildings: Consulate, 5 houses, watchtowers, desert bandit strongholds]
[Can be built: houses, fences, mills, wells]
[Resources: date palm forest (2 acres), wheat field 7.5 acres]
[Summary of troops: 95 infantry and 17 cavalry. 】
[Current troops: Swadia Militia (70 people), Swadia Light Infantry (25 people), Desert Bandit Elite (17 people)]
[Recruitable: Swadia Recruit (Consulate), Desert Bandit (Desert Bandit Stronghold)]
[Comment: "Dehrim" looks good.] Clear, cool springs flow through rough canals, nourishing the arid and barren land. Energetic farmers are busy in the date palm groves and fields, and they seem to be very energetic. However, due to the lack of buildings, the village is still shabby. But it is worth noting that there are no ladies in the village. 】
………………
This is the overall data of "Dehrim" at the moment.
Kant's expression was a little heavy, and it seemed that his village was indeed quite bad.
It's too basic.
A few days ago, in order to deal with the threat of the jackals, Kant devoted all his absolute energy to the construction of the army, so to speak, basically neglected the construction of the territory, and also delayed the development of "Dehrim".
There is no way around it.
After all, the threat of the gnolls is too strong.
If it weren't for the Hobson knights and Hank scholars from the Duchy of Lion, it is estimated that Kant alone would not have been able to defend against it.
2,000 strong gnolls are not something he can resist.
"It's just all right."
Kant exhaled lightly, and already had a plan for the development of the territory in his heart.
The current "Decherim" is right with the system, there is a serious lack of buildings, at least he now wants everyone to live in the interior of the house, instead of sleeping in tents and bunkers.
Make up your mind, Kant communication system: "Build a house." ”
【Ding... System Prompt]
[It will cost 100 dinars to build the house, and it will take 7 days.] 】
[Yes/No choose to build?] 】
The system dialog box pops up, and the routine is asked.
"Yes." Kant chose without hesitation.
With his affirmation, the crisp clash of metal coins sounded, with a bit of pleasantness, but the deposit disappeared directly from the 100 dinars, which was about the cost of Kant to build the house.
【Cost 100 Dinars】
[House: Under Construction]
[Completion date: 7 days later]
Select End, and the system dialog box refreshes the content.
And just behind the sand dunes not far away, there is a team of 5 wagons pulled by 10 horses.
More than 30 sturdy workers flanked the sides to help propel the wagons through the soft sand dunes, and the loads of wood and stone showed that they were supposed to be the team carrying building materials.
The leader is a fat man, although his face is honest, but his eyes reveal the cunning of a businessman.
Soon, they arrived at the Sentry Oasis.
Ten Swadia militiamen were carrying heavy spears, scrutinizing their cargo.
These construction workers are not surprised.
There are many rules in the nobles' domains.
"Captain Building, Lord Kant, please meet you in the Consulate."
At this time, a Svadia light infantry was walking quickly, sweeping the construction team, focusing on the conspicuous fat man, and said in a very unceremonious tone: "Follow me." ”
"Okay, okay."
The building leader didn't look ugly in the slightest, but nodded again and again, and followed with a complimented smile.
If you can survive on the Calradian continent in troubled times, and earn dinars beautifully, sometimes you have to give up something, such as dignity and face, how much money can that thing be worth?
The leader of the building entered the Consulate Briskly, he was still familiar with this place.
Kant was sitting in the hall, looking at the parchment scroll in his hand.
It was densely covered with various items, which were still in the Rivading caravan, and he planned to buy some scarce supplies while the caravan had not left.
"Good morning, honorable Lord Kant."
The leader of the building bowed respectfully, and at the same time his voice was joyful: "Greetings to your faithful servant. ”
"It's you, meet again." Kant put down the parchment scroll in his hand and nodded to him in the same way.
However, he still picked out the mistake in the construction leader's statement, and pointed out lightly: "Note that I am only your employer, and you are not my servant. ”
"In my heart, you are a noble lord far superior to King Haraus."
The building leader didn't care, but even more courteously: "It's the dawn light of Calradia." ”
"Huh." Kant chuckled.
He has never been dismissive of this typical sycophancy.
And Kant knew that this construction leader was quite slippery, although he could complete the construction task on time, but when he was in charge of the free meal on weekdays, even if he couldn't eat, he had to secretly hide a few pieces of bread for supper.
It's definitely a money-grubbing miser like Grande.
With a slightly solemn face, Kant looked at him and still reminded: "This time the construction of the house must also be serious." ”
"Rest assured, my construction team and I rely on a good reputation to take over the work."
The construction leader lowered his head again and again, obviously aware that he was patting the horse's ass, as if he had slapped the horse's leg.
Kant nodded, satisfied with the attitude of the construction leader.
After a brief chat with him, showing his concern for the building, he waved him away, after all, the development of the territory is still important, and this building leader is divided into priorities.
The main thing is that Kant had other things to deal with.
Turning to the light infantry guarding behind the door, he commanded, "Go and ask the caravan leader to come." ”
"Understood."
The Svadian light infantryman nodded, and immediately walked briskly out of the chamber.
After a while, the leader of the caravan walked in quickly.
"Lord Kant, are you looking for me?" His attitude remained respectful.
"That's right."
Kant took out the parchment scroll, pointed to the supplies on it, and said, "Before you leave, I plan to buy these supplies. ”
Zhivadin's caravan stayed here for only 7 days.
Today was the day of departure, everything was packed, and the hundreds of jackal captives were all tied with their hands, and they were so hungry and weak that they could only be tied to the back of the carriage miserably.
"2 cans of oil and 10 tools."
The leader of the caravan looked at the goods that had been marked on it, and whispered, "Five pieces of linen." ”
"Questions?" Kant asked.
This is the material he decided to buy for the future, and he planned for a rainy day.
However, Kant was also a little helpless about the price.
Prices in the continent of Calradia are very high, basically about 30% higher than in this real world.
Considering that only his own system can sell things to himself, Kant can only grit his teeth and accept it, after all, the wool comes from the sheep, as long as he is strong and has enough capital, he can completely let those jackals pay the bills.
The slave trade was very exciting.
