Take the Empire To the Other World

Chapter 70: Exploring the Village

"As expected of a game scene where horseback riding and slashing fire and sword mutate, the setting of this village, town, and main city is quite similar to that in the game..."

After reading the information about the administrative stronghold, Wang Ziming put away his own thoughts and ordered the team to move on, heading towards that village!

Although the information on the administrative base is more detailed, there are some things that Wang Ziming would like to verify with his own eyes.

Hundreds of teams armed with muskets came to this small village, which immediately frightened the serfs who were working on the surrounding farmland. They panicked and ran to the simple wooden fence outside the village, making panic-stricken warning sounds.

Before Zhao Ritian and his party entered the village, an old man who was dressed fairly cleanly walked out surrounded by serfs.

On the left of the old man was a strong man with an arquebus and a long sword on his waist, and on the right was a low-level priest in church attire.

"Excuse me, why are you coming to our village?"

Under Wang Ziming's vision, the head of the old man showed the words of the village elder. According to the routine in the game, this should be the word of the whole village.

The middle-aged man with a musket and a long sword on his waist and a long sword beside him marked the sheriff, and the priest on the other side was a low-level priest.

Then Wang Ziming got a message that the 5 countries of Mount and Blade, Fire and Sword all have faith. The Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and Tsarist Russia believe in God.

In the Cossack emirates, there are both those who believe in God and those who believe in God.

The Crimean Khanate is a believer in God…

However, in this game, the king's power is higher than the church, and the church is just a sacred political institution to appease the hearts of the people, and is placed under the secular power.

Therefore, whether it is a village, a town or a main city, the power of the clergy of the church is lower than that of the leader appointed by the king.

The village elder and the villagers and serfs behind him had vigilant expressions on their faces. They were unwilling to reveal their names, and even Zhao Ritian could feel the hostility they showed.

After all, in the eyes of the village elders, Zhao Ritian and the favored ones behind him belong to another faction of order, which is commonly known as the 'foreign army'.

Any village with weak military force encounters hundreds of foreign soldiers, it is estimated that it will not be in a good mood...

Although the troops led by Zhao Ritian could easily occupy the village, they could not really conquer them, because the village was born attached to a nearby town. In order for them to recognize their right to rule, they had to capture their direct subordinates. that town.

"Hello, we are tired from our journey and want to go to the village to have a rest."

According to Wang Ziming's instructions, Zhao Ritian replied expressionlessly.

"Please forgive my rudeness, we belong to the territory of the great United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, you have no right to enter, and we have no extra room here to accommodate you."

The village elder refused in a blunt tone. It was obvious that the other party had a lot of courage to say these words. After all, Zhao Ritian had more than 100 guns behind him!

After a round of platoons of guns, these people can almost go to see God...

However, under the rules of the order camp in different dimensions, the authority of the state cannot be desecrated!

If he allows foreign troops to enter the town today and is reported to the town by the villagers, his village elder will almost be able to retire...

In serious cases, you may even be convicted!

The low-level priest next to him nodded with satisfaction after hearing the village elder's 'righteous words' refusal, and took a step forward to show his support for the village elder.

On the contrary, the sheriff who mastered the "highest military force" in the whole village took a step back imperceptibly, and looked around, as if searching for the best escape route...

As for the ordinary serfs and villagers, their attitude was obvious. They stepped back in unison, with the awareness that the other party took out a gun and ran away immediately...

As a result, there are only three people standing opposite Zhao Ritian, and one of them is still a little guilty.

The village elder didn't feel anything wrong with the performance of the serfs behind him. After all, the force on the opposite side could indeed crush this village with only dozens of households.

However, the village elder is much more knowledgeable than the serfs. He knows that the "foreign army" on the opposite side does not dare to use force, otherwise, it is equivalent to declaring war on the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania!

Although the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is now 1 vs 3, the military strength of the other side does not seem to be too strong. The United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania should not mind 1 vs 4 for honor...

Well, this is all the self-delusion of the village elders...

"Then can I buy some food supplies from you?"

After the trial failed, Zhao Ritian made another request.

"sure."

After the village elder smiled and agreed, Wang Ziming immediately received a price list.

There are only two kinds of food supplements above - cabbage and wheat...

This is not beyond Wang Ziming's expectations. After all, most of the village's production needs to be consumed by the serfs and villagers, stored for the grain collection team, and turned over to the tax officer in the town!

There are very few things that can really be sold.

However, at this price, Wang Ziming's face hurts. A bag of wheat costs a gold coin. Why don't you grab it!

Cabbage costs two gold coins. How can you tell that cabbage is so much more expensive than wheat?

Wang Ziming felt as if he had been slaughtered as a fat sheep!

1 gold coin can hire a 10-person Tier 1 mercenary team, how could it be exchanged for a bag of wheat!

This price list can't help but remind Wang Ziming of his experience of being entrapped by Charak. This is definitely the result of the village elder's independent pricing!

"Is this price too high?"

Zhao Ritian, who received Wang Ziming's instructions, asked with a dissatisfied face.

"I'm sorry, our harvest is not very good, and the food reserve is not sufficient, so the price will naturally be higher."

The village elder showed a look of pity, as if he was lamenting the tragic situation of the lack of food harvest...

How fake it is!

Hearing this answer, Wang Ziming understood—the other party didn't want to do business with him at all!

Full of hostility...

So, Wang Ziming asked Zhao Ritian to make the last test.

"Are there any young men in your village who are eager to go out and make a career?"

"You are not from the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. According to the laws of the kingdom, I cannot let the boys in the village go with you, after all, they are the property of the kingdom!

Of course, if the favored person behind you is willing to join the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, our village welcomes you at any time. "

The village elder replied solemnly.
