V2.Chapter 49

Second era, 376, January 2.

This is a year destined to be unsettled and to be recorded in history.

Under the leadership of four generals, riodari, Marcus Kane, Barbosa and Jerry rivade, the new year sports in Athens are being held like fire. Part of the combat effectiveness of the bottom mercenaries also emerged one by one, showing their edge in competitive sports. Some of these people will be absorbed into Athens after the end of competitive sports. It has always been the desire of these mercenaries to live a stable life.

The problem of competition is that everything goes according to plan.

Murphy was supposed to be here these two days, but now he has more important things to do.

………………

It's 8:30 in the morning. The hall of the governor's house.

"Governor, diplomat, Lord tobayes is back." Outside the door came the heavy footsteps of the general's bodyguard. He stood respectfully outside the door, looking at Murphy sitting in a chair, closing his eyes and meditating, and leaned slightly.

"Back?" When Murphy woke up, he sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "let him come right now."

"Yes." The general's bodyguard bowed away.

About five minutes.

Diplomat tobayes appeared in front of Murphy. He is a handsome man with broad eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose, thick lips, tall and straight, which is very in line with the western aesthetic point of view. I haven't seen him for more than a month. Diplomat tobayes has a mature and steady breath. It seems that after the last beating, he also understood a lot.

"Ding, your diplomat's ability has been improved. You can check his ability through the system page."

As soon as diplomat tobayes arrived at Murphy's side, he heard the system prompt sound from the auxiliary system of total war. He raised his hand to signal diplomat tobayes to sit down, then turned on the auxiliary system and began to see his new attributes.

"Diplomat tobayes:

The ability of an official: his words have been able to influence many people and things

title:

Born diplomat (official ability + 2, he was born to be a diplomat.)

Handsome appearance (official ability + 1, good-looking people are always more likely to feel close.)

He is good at foreign affairs (the ability of affairs officer + 3, he is very good at foreign affairs.) "

I didn't expect that in just a little more than a month, diplomat tobayes raised his official ability to six stars. It seems that his talent is really amazing.

………………

Tell the maid to pour a cup of tea, and then Murphy waves the others back. What he wants to talk with diplomat tobayes is a very important thing. If it is used well, Athens will probably have a strong ally in the future!

Looking at the diplomat in front of him, Murphy rubbed his forehead and thought for a moment, then said, "the grain has been delivered back?"

"Not yet." Diplomat tobayes shook his head and said, "I only got half of it back first, and the other half is already on the way. But it may take a while to get there. "

"Well." Murphy nodded. Half of the grain would have been enough.

Murphy's slender white middle finger tapped on the table. He watched everything outside and listened to the cheers from the arena.

After a long silence.

He just looked at the diplomat tobayes in front of him and said in a deep voice, "tell me the details of the matter."

Before coming back, diplomat tobayes brought Murphy a very shocking news. The amount of information hidden in this message is too large. If it is used well, it will definitely be a big boost to the development of the territory!

Diplomat tobayes sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly told the story.

"It was about the middle of December, and the first batch of corn ale ordered by Lord Murphy arrived. At that time, I had already made trade cooperation with other barbarian tribes living in the Northwest with the help of uthors. They agree that we can exchange other things for food from them, but we have to buy a lot of horses for them. "

Murphy nodded. These were his plans. The northern barbarians also had cavalry, but their horses were not as big as those from the Centaur trade.

"These barbarian tribes were scattered, but they all obeyed the orders of the leaders of the puccians. Lord Murphy, the man you saved last time is actually the next successor of the puccians, and is also recognized by their shaman priests as the "brave man". That man has a high reputation among other barbarian tribes, so this trade can be so successful

Murphy was a little stunned. He didn't know that the leader of the puccia mercenary had such a high status.

If you change into the noble identity of the human city-state, he would be a viscount or more?

"The puccians have the highest status among the barbarians, because they have the blood of the ancient hero [roarer Hagrid]. That is to say, they can go into a violent state like the orcs, so that they can ignore the pain and have a far stronger power than ordinary people! Although other barbarian tribes also have fierce fighters, they are far from the number of puccians

"Lord Murphy, they call the soldiers who can be violent warriors. They have a high status in the tribe."

Rage?

Murphy chewed these two words silently, as if the power of the temple was also bestowed on fury.

Why is there such a coincidence?

Is there some invisible rule that binds the power level of the world? The orc's crazy warrior, the barbarian's warrior, the temple's fanatic, is no doubt not using the power of fury.

What is hidden in this?

Diplomat tobayes wisely did not disturb Murphy's thoughts.

Until Murphy came back and said, "hmm? You go on

He just picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then went on.

"After the trade cooperation, I stayed in the tribe of the puccians. The gathering place of barbarians was very primitive and backward. Uthors, the successor of the puccian, asked me to teach others knowledge and literacy. I agree. "

It seems that the northern barbarians do not have their own characters. Only some of them know knowledge, and most of them do not know characters. Otherwise, they would not be called barbarians by the aristocratic Council.

"I stayed there and taught them some simple words, which I planned to keep until the snow melted."

"After the trade goods arrived, I took part of the corn wine to the barbarian chiefs. They say they like this kind of spirits very much. If they can, they only need to provide these spirits except for horses in Athens. "

Speaking of this, diplomat tobayes gave full play to his diplomatic talent.

"The wine brewed by the barbarians is just like water compared with our Shaojiu. Because there are not many goods, it is more expensive to use rare materials, so I have increased the price of this corn Shaojiu by ten times on the original basis."

In terms of terms of trade, Murphy gave tobayes a certain degree of autonomy, but he did not expect that this guy was so black hearted that he quietly raised the price ten times. However, he is worthy of his title as a gifted diplomat. His mission is to ruthlessly kill those diplomatic targets.

"Mr. Murphy, do you know how many things have been exchanged for the 30 jars of liquor that were transported in the past?" Speaking of this, diplomat tobayes looked excited. He held out three fingers and said, "we have returned a whole grain worth 30000 silver coins!"

Thirty thousand!?

This value is really beyond Murphy's expectation.

This is almost equal to three months' tax revenue in the territory! And it's part of the trade income!

"Go on." Murphy took the trade list from the diplomat and said in a deep voice. In addition to these, there is another very important thing he did not make clear.

"At the end of December, about the fifth day after the liquor was replaced."

"A few of the puccinese warriors who had drunk this kind of liquor went into a frenzy after getting drunk and caused a lot of trouble. Then the wine was banned by the barbarians. Even the liquor that had been distributed and rewarded before was taken back. "

"About the third day, the barbarian chieftains received me together."

"They asked me how much of this liquor I had in my territory. I said that the brewing of this kind of liquor in Athens is very troublesome. Now it can be produced in a relatively small quantity, and it has to be supplied to other people. "

"The barbarian chiefs immediately decided to buy all our spirits at twice the price!"

Twice.

Plus the original price increase, that's 20 times.

If it is true, as they say, the profits from this alone will be enough to maintain the operation of the territory.

Speaking of this, diplomat tobayes also looked serious.

"I think it's quite strange that the price has doubled all at once. So I sent people out to inquire about the news. After a few days, I finally got something. "

"What is it?" Murphy asked.

"The liquor was actually transported to the shaman priests of the barbarian tribes. Then I found that some adult men in the tribe, about 20 years old, were selected and sent to the shaman priests' residence."

Diplomat tobayes looked at the dignified face of Murphy and said: "I - cherish - doubt!"

"The liquor produced by the territory is likely to make those barbarian soldiers into a state of frenzy!"

Drinking frenzy!?

When Murphy thought about it, he thought it was very possible.

The use of alcohol stimulation to enter a frenzied state, if it is ordinary people, I am afraid it may not be able to bear, it is estimated that vomiting on the spot is earth shaking. However, if the target is those strong barbarian soldiers, I'm afraid it can have another effect. And there are those mysterious shaman priests who are rarely known by the outside world, so the inference of diplomat tobayes is likely to be true.

If so.

Then, we should make a good plan for the following things!

Moreover, the brewing and distillation technology of Shaojiu has to be firmly in our hands.

It seems that we have to send troops to destroy that area.
