Chapter 270 This is called corn
Li Qi had just walked not far after leaving the study, when he met Sidhuo Haihai at the intersection.
He was waiting for Li Qi to come.
"Lord Li Qi, it seems you have finished talking?"
Li Qi nodded and asked casually: "Yes, what do you think of the Duke's ideas?"
Sidhuo smiled: "I'm just an illegitimate son. Of course I hope that my father can live longer and make my life easier."
This sentence is true. As long as Duke Yaori is still alive, Siddur Seawater can enjoy the noble life as an illegitimate son.
If Payne becomes Duke, there may not necessarily be good things waiting for Siddur.
Son and brother are two different things.
"Do you know what Lord Ross and the others are doing in Iron Valley?" Li Qi asked: "My Lord asked me to attack Iron Valley, but Lord Ross and the others are also attacking Iron Valley. Should I join Lord Ross's legion?"
Sidor Seawater shook his head and said, "What you have to deal with is different."
He whispered: "Lord Ross and the others' mission is to break through the Iron Wall Castle, take off the Black King's head, and then hand over the captured castle to you, and your opponent... is not a living person."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Not a living person? A ghost?"
"It's...a corpse that has been resurrected from the dead."
"Hiss" Li Qi looked frightened.
Corpse? He has the inheritance of a necromancer, and there is a necromancer beside him. He is professional in manipulating corpses!
"The Duke said just now that if I need any help, I can come to you for help." Li Qi looked at Xiduo Haihai and said, "You will definitely help me, right?"
"Of course" Sidor Seawater nodded: "I have some information about Tiegu's resurrected body, and I can leave it all to you."
Li Qi shook his head: "Of course the news is important, but I have no soldiers and no one. I want to borrow money."
"Borrow money?"
Xiduo Haihai looked at Li Qi and almost couldn't help but blurt out: "Didn't you win the game and earn more than five hundred gold days? The savings of those little nobles for several generations are not as much as what you make today."
"As you said, what I want to deal with is the dead," Li Qi said: "If I don't reward him heavily, how can my soldiers dare to fight against the dead? And I can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield with bare arms and bare hands. Fight the monster."
The big nobles and the nobles in remote areas may not know it, but Siddhar Haihai knows very well that Porcupine brand products are selling like crazy in Donggang City.
Moreover, the porcupine soldiers wear full-coverage armor. Is this still poor? There is no baron richer than he!
Xi Duo saw Li Qi's shamelessness.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"500 gold days," Li Qi said, "I plan to hire another group of mercenaries. No matter how much the sacrifice is, the goal is to complete the Duke's order!"
The corners of Sidor Seawater's mouth twitched.
"Father didn't ask me to support you financially," he said, "I can support you up to 100 gold days."
"Then 100 gold days!" Li Qi agreed immediately.
"..." Seeing Li Qi's decisive look, Xiduo Haihai guessed that he was simply planning to catch a toad and squeeze out some urine. He responded that Li Qi deserved to be hit.
"Interest……"
"Don't worry." Li Qi patted him on the shoulder: "I will definitely complete the Duke's order, and I will truthfully report your contribution to him later."
Interest? The principal will not be returned!
Baron Li Qi just wanted to take advantage.
Leopold was so rich that he didn't need these 100 gold days. Although these 100 gold days seemed to be Sidor Seawater's own small treasury, Li Qi took advantage of it so that he didn't feel any psychological burden.
After receiving a grant of 100 gold days, Li Qi led his men and left Roaring Fort.
During this period, Li Qi did not have to go to Iron Valley. He could wait for Ross and others to attack before going there. He could take over the castle directly and take office.
As for the news and information, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while before Sidhu Haihai sends someone to the Porcupine Territory.
After leaving Roaring Fort, Hawkwood was already waiting for Reacher on the roadside.
"It's getting late," Li Qi said, "Mr. Hawkwood, why don't we stay in Donggang City for one night. After we have a good rest, we can set off tomorrow. Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve the trouble in the mine."
Hawkwood looked up at the sun high above his head.
It is late?
Haven’t had lunch yet!
But he still nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li Qi, you worked hard in the game today and you really deserve a good rest."
Li Qi nodded: "It's still early, why don't we go shopping in Donggang City?"
Hawkwood: "..."
Just now I said it was getting late, but now I am saying it is still early. Don’t make fun of me because I am old!
But after all, he had something to ask for, and after seeing Li Qi's strength, Hawkwood's confidence in Li Qi doubled. It was just a day's delay, so it was not unacceptable to him.
"Then I'll listen to you and take a walk while it's early."
Everyone in Donggang City is busy.
Li Qi saw Porcupine brand soap from some vendors. They were all uncut and had the Porcupine family emblem on them. He nodded with great satisfaction.
What we want is this advertising effect.
"Lord Li Qi!" A slender figure greeted in the distance.
Li Qi was stunned and thought it was a giant stick insect that appeared on the island of High Demon Land.
"Ah, it's Deni." Li Qi let out a long breath, he was really shocked just now.
"Lord Li Qi, I didn't expect you to come to Eastport City!" Deni came over, looked at Hawkwood who was standing with Li Qi, nodded and said hello: "Good day, Lord Hawkwood."
Hawkwood nodded: "Good day."
He knew that Denis was not here to find him, so he just kept silent.
"I want to take a stroll and see the operation model of Donggang City," Li Qi said, "and find something that I can learn from."
Denis said: "I happen to have time, why don't I take you two to go shopping together?"
"It would be great"
It's better to have a local businessman take you around than to wander around like a headless fly.
The pace of life in Donggang City is fast.
However, unlike the planned porcupine collar, most of them are vendors selling, some pushing wheelbarrows or holding clay pots on their heads, and they will say a few words of sales to people they meet.
"I think your market planning is very good," Deni said. "Dividing areas to make it easier for people who want to buy something to find what they want is far better than wandering around like this."
There is a problem with hawking at will, and that is chaos.
Moreover, carriages often hit people.
"and many more"
Li Qi just walked past a stall. He looked at the little girl sitting on the roadside and pointed at the goods she was selling: "What is this?"
"I don't know." The little girl shook her head: "But you can eat it. Each one only costs 2 bronze stars."
Deni snorted coldly: "This kind of stuff is dry and hard and is only used to feed chickens and pigs. Two bronze stars for one?"
Li Qi looked at Deni: "Do you know what this is?"
"This is a crop that came across the ocean." Deni nodded: "It's just like potatoes. You may have never eaten them, sir. They don't taste good. The bread made from them is harsh on the throat and difficult to swallow."
The little girl wanted to retort, but looking at the noble, she only dared to whisper: "But I can eat enough..."
"Is it difficult to buy?" Li Qi asked Deni.
Deni shook his head: "It's not difficult to buy, but not many people know how to grow it. She probably grew these secretly in the barren mountains. This kind of thing is easy to feed."
It was up to the lord to decide what to grow in the land. If the farmland was used to grow vegetables, they would also be whipped.
Li Qi said to the little girl: "I want all these from you. I can't give you 2 bronze stars, but I can give you 1 bronze star for two pounds."
"You want them all?" The little girl opened her eyes wide: "I have a lot at home!"
"How many?"
"very many!"
Li Qi smiled: "No matter how much it is, I will take it."
The food they disdain is the treasure in Li Qi's eyes.
Because this food is the king of grains and feed on earth, its name is: corn!
