Chapter 299 Cyclops

"Petals of Cruzado, juice of Seila grass, fruit of Silijia..." Feng Willow is looking up the origins of various magic plants, thinking about large-scale cultivation in an environment similar to the origin.

If the origin is within the territory of the Viking Empire, then it can be cultivated directly in the origin on a large scale. To plan ahead, he needs to prepare everything he needs before the start of the planned reform.

For the prosperity of an empire, no matter how good the policy is, it will not be achieved in a short period of time to implement it and see the effect.

Feng Willow couldn't help but sigh: "It takes too long to advance from Sequence 3 to Sequence 2."

Ordinary people can advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8 in ten years, which is already a very talented genius.

Even those innately powerful monsters-dragons, it takes hundreds of years to grow from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3. And he grew from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3 in less than ten years.

"Come here, go check where the Cruzado flower, Saila grass, and Silijia are produced." Feng Willow ordered.

At his current position, he no longer needs to do many things by himself. Originally, when Saiya was around, he could still order Saiya, but Saiya is now busy with the affairs of the Viking Empire. These less important things, he can only order other people to do.

Feng Willow couldn't resist the temptation of rapid cultivation, and once again stole the national destiny to practice. Who can resist the temptation of ten times the experience? The only thing to do is to suffer the Viking Empire first.

"The strength of the empire has weakened, and the strength of those nobles will naturally weaken along with it. Lay a good foundation for future reforms and prosperity!" Feng Willow found a suitable excuse for himself, and then stole the national destiny to practice with peace of mind.

Ten times the speed of cultivation, this is so cool to practice.

"My Lord Duke, the origins of the several magic plants you are looking for have been found. Cruzado flowers and Seila grass have some origins in our Viking Empire. The price is not too high. In the past few years, the price was very expensive and it took hundreds of gold coins to buy it. However, in recent years, it seems that the production has increased in the production areas, and the price has depreciated a lot. It can be bought with more than 100 gold coins.

There is also a magic plant like Silijia, which has a small amount of production in the extreme western wasteland of the empire, but this kind of magic plant is produced in the dark area." After checking the information, the servant reported to Feng Willow.

Feng Willow nodded. As the traditional sequencer inheritance of the Viking Empire, the barbarians must control the main production areas in their own hands. Otherwise, wouldn't the production of the empire sequencers be strangled by others?

Since the two magic plants Cruzado flowers and Seila grass have their origins in the empire, Feng Willow is relieved a lot, but he still needs to find a way to control these two origins in his own hands.

It's not like he hadn't thought about training all the civilians to become pagan sequencers, but pagans need to have faith in the God of Friendship. Apart from the others, the nobles and emperors of the Viking Empire would not agree to this one alone.

The control of the gods over the believers is too strong. Those nobles who are not fools will not agree, and even Kenlohag may no longer support him.

The source of the Barbarian Sequence and the Battle Mage Sequence is in the hands of the Viking Empire. The reason why the four empires are the four empires is because the emperors of the four empires have mastered two complete paths.

Most of the nobles who inherited the empire also took these two paths. Only those who took these two paths are the ones that the royal family truly trusts.

Don't look at Feng Willow's title of Grand Duke, and even his territory is the three largest counties in the entire empire. But whether it is for the Viking Empire or the Anerfa Empire, Feng Willow is an outsider.

Although Feng Willow was born in the Feng family, which was also a native noble of the Anerfa Empire, he did not follow the two paths controlled by the Anerfa royal family, the knight and priest paths. Therefore, although Feng Willow obeyed the status of the Anerfa Empire, he never entered the core power layer of the empire.

One of the reasons was that Feng Willow was too lazy to participate in political affairs, but another reason was that people never accepted him as one of their own.

The so-called mastery of the sequence is to master the source of the sequence, that is, the ultimate direction of the sequence path. As long as there are people in that position, the latecomers cannot go up, and can only pull the people in front down to become gods. There can only be one person at the end of a sequence path.

The inheritance of sequence two and sequence one is only in the hands of the royal family. Other sequencers who practice this path will never be able to rebel against the royal family without inheritance.

Feng Willow can only make the royal family feel at ease by cultivating barbarian sequencers and battle mage sequencers, and the royal family will cooperate with his plan.

"Have you found out who owns the production areas of these two magic plants? Is it the royal family or the territory of a great noble?" Feng Willow asked.

"My Lord Duke, although the distribution areas of these two magic plants, Klisado Flower and Saila Grass, are not wide, they are not single. The royal family's direct territory produces them, and there are also several noble territories producing them. Because Xilijia is located in the desert, there are no noble territories, and it is also directly under the royal family." The subordinate reported.

"Forget about the ones directly under the royal family, and find the information of the remaining noble territories for me to see." Feng Willow ordered.

Soon, the information about the production areas of the two magic plants was sent over.

Perhaps the royal family also knows that these important magic plants must be controlled in their own hands, so they have gathered all the production areas of magic plants in their own hands.

However, the noble parliament would not want to see the royal family too strong. After all, many nobles are in the barbarian sequence. If all the important resources of those who are promoted to the sequence are in the hands of the royal family, then they will be too passive.

Therefore, the nobles have also mastered some of the magic plant production resources through generations of struggle. It is not directly taken from the royal family, but it is similar to Feng Willow's idea. Find places with similar environments, slowly transplant and cultivate, and then form the current situation.

Looking at the information in his hand, Feng Willow is also very troubled. The several nobles who occupy the production areas of magic plants are all small nobles, but behind them, there are all the great nobles of the Viking Empire.

"Perhaps it is easier to go directly and grab the territory. I am not good at controlling these territories by other means." Feng Willow thought in his heart.

"Go and send visiting cards to these families first, and tell them that I have a big business to discuss with them, and invite them to come in three days." Feng Willow ordered.

Ordinary small nobles stay in their territories and rarely come to the capital. But these nobles are different. The resources they control are no less than those of ordinary nobles. So the families stay in the capital all year round, and because of the resources they control, these families also have seats in the noble council.

"Feng Willow, why did he invite me? Check, who else did he invite besides me?" Baron Andrew, who received the invitation, frowned and said.

Although it is only a baron title, because of the support of the great nobles and the important resources in their hands, their family is also very powerful in the capital.

Soon, they received the information that Feng Willow invited several people, all of whom were families with extraordinary resources. The circle of nobles was not large, and because these families controlled important resources, they were already closely connected with each other.

After Feng Willow's invitation was sent out, the invited nobles gathered together.

"What do you think Feng Willow meant by inviting us this time?" Baron Andrew asked.

"What else could it mean? He is naturally attracted by the resources in our hands and wants to share a piece of the pie. After all, in the empire, all the great nobles will occupy a place in these resources.

This is also an old tradition among the nobles. As long as he is willing to abide by the rules and give him a share, I have no objection." A beautiful woman said indifferently.

"I heard that this land reform was pushed by Baron Feng Willow behind the scenes. I'm afraid he doesn't just want to share a piece of the pie. Maybe he wants more." An elderly noble said with a frown, holding a wine glass.

"If we follow the rules, as the Grand Duke of the Empire, he should have a share. We won't get involved, but if he wants more, we don't need to refuse him. The other nobles won't agree."

"Everyone, this Duke of Feng Willow is not an ordinary person. I hope we can advance and retreat together this time. Although we have the Noble Council behind us, everyone has seen the situation in the past few days. The Noble Council has a great restraining power on ordinary nobles, but it is hard to say how much deterrence it can have on this Duke of Feng Willow.

Once he finds a reason, with the strong character of this Grand Duke, I'm afraid he will really take action against us." Andrew said in persuasion.

"Baron Andrew makes sense. We must unite and not give Feng Willow any chance to take advantage of us." The elderly noble stood up and said in support.

Feng Willow naturally didn't know that the nobles he invited had already started to form a group, and some people couldn't wait to spread the news.

Although the nobles are now overwhelmed by the land reform, they attach great importance to the production areas of these extraordinary resources.

Three days passed quickly. Several nobles invited by Feng Willow also came, only the Heather family did not arrive.

The Heather family occupies an important production area of ​​Cruzado flowers. Originally, it had the largest output among the royal territories, but with the resurgence of the magic tide in recent years, the output of the Heather family's territory has gradually increased, and it has become the largest Cruzado flower production area in the empire.

Obviously, the other party did not take him, the Grand Duke, seriously.

"Are you sure the invitation has been delivered?" Feng Willow asked the butler.

"My Lord Duke, it has been delivered. Because I was afraid that the servants would make mistakes, I personally delivered the invitation to Baron Heather." The butler said with a serious face.

This butler was invited by Feng Willow after he came to the royal capital. He was originally the butler of the noble family who followed Korg. Because Korg was too close, he was implicated and the whole family was ruined. The housekeeper was sold to Feng Willow along with the manor.

"Okay, Heather family, we'll settle accounts with them later." Feng Willow said coldly.

"Thank you all for accepting my invitation in your busy schedule. This time I invited you all to come here to discuss a big business. I want to buy 80% of the Cruzado flowers and Seila grass in your territory and sign a 15-year contract.

In the next fifteen years, I hope that you can sell me 80% of the Cruzado flowers and Seila grass produced in your territories. "Feng Willow said straight to the point. As a grand duke, he has great strength and there is no need to beat around the bush with these small barons and waste time. To be honest, they are not worthy.

The barons looked at each other. This was different from what they had discussed before. Baron Andrew stood up and said, "Grand Duke Willow, we will sell it to anyone. As long as the price is right, we are willing to trade with you."

"Everyone knows that with the resurgence of the magic tide, the output of various extraordinary magic plants will increase. The price will also become cheaper and cheaper. I plan to purchase 80% of your output in the next fifteen years at the current market price.

The reason why it is 80% is to leave some for you and those behind you. Do you understand what I mean? "Feng Willow said as he glanced at these people majestically.

Several barons were obviously tempted, but they still habitually wanted to inquire about the news to see if there was any news they didn't know, so as not to suffer a big loss.

It was Baron Andrew who stood up and said, "Grand Duke Willow, we are very willing to trade with you, but you also know that there are some things that we don't have the right to decide. So please allow us to go back and discuss it. "

Feng Willow nodded. He also knew that some things could not be done in a hurry.

After sending off these families with important extraordinary resources, Feng Willow asked about the news of the Heather family. They received the invitation, but the people did not come, and there was not even an explanation.

This is unreasonable. If there is no deep hatred, the nobles who care about face will not do it this way. This is the rhythm of offending people to death. Even if something important really happened and delayed it, someone would be sent to explain it afterwards. But none of these happened.

"The Duke found out that a tribe of Cyclops appeared in the territory of the Heather family, and it seems that they surrendered to their family. Let their family's strength increase greatly." The butler reported to Feng Willow. (End of this chapter)
