Chapter 177 (2/2)

As early as in the gaoshu tribe, through interrogation of Armand, pieno and others, the stone bear knew the wealth of the six noble spokesmen in okron fortress.

If major Armand is in charge of the military power of okron fortress, the six men headed by Fernand are in charge of the economic lifeline of the fortress.

Grain, cloth, salt, horses, ironware and other groceries were the goods that the nobles behind the six men managed in the fortress.

Fernan is count fernan's brother. He is the most powerful, so he controls the whole fortress, including the food around it.

Behind oreno, who was almost kicked to the white board by the stone bear, was also an earl. However, oreno was only a butler under the name of the Earl, so his strength in okron fortress was not as good as Fernand, but he controlled the salt trade in okron fortress and surrounding areas.

Behind the tall and thin man stood a Viscount whose main business was cloth.

The remaining three, together with fernan, were in charge of the trade in ironware, horses and other groceries.

Since the construction of Fortress okron, their six families have become the actual controllers of the economic lifeline of Fortress okron. If the French military had not controlled the most powerful military force, the fortress would have been renamed by other surnames.

This situation can be found everywhere in the new world, especially before the outbreak of the seven-year war. Whether it was New France or Louisiana, the economic lifelines of various military fortresses and fortresses and even most of the small colonial cities were controlled by the big nobles in France. Only large immigrant cities like Quebec and New Orleans were under the control of the French king.

Therefore, the fortune of the group of six headed by Fernand is actually very rich, and the fortune of any one of them is far more than that of the forced major Armand.

Although I can't figure out the real wealth of the six guys, the stone bear has already sharpened the knife in his hand. Originally, the stone bear was worried about finding an excuse to use the knife. As a result, Fernand and oreno came to the door, and the knife in the stone bear's hand didn't kill them?

Originally, the stone bear intended to collect 15000 pounds of grain from these guys, so that with 10000 pounds of grain in the barracks, he could make up 25000 pounds of grain. But now these guys are coming to the door by themselves. Of course, the stone bear will knock them hard.

The stone bear asked for five thousand pounds more grain. No matter how much, it won't come out. After all, no matter the soldiers in the barracks or the civilians in the fortress, they have to eat food every day. If they don't leave enough food for them to eat for ten days, they will not give the food to themselves.

Since we can't kill them more in terms of food, we should just use this lead to kill them in other aspects.

The value of forty horses is not much less than 20000 pounds of grain, or even slightly more than that. The most important thing is that the war horse is what the gaoshu tribe needs most at present, so the stone bear lion opens his mouth with 40 war horses.

As for the cloth, there are a lot of thirty a pangs. In 1791, before the French formulated the ”meter” as the length measurement unit, a pen was a French length measurement unit.

The length of a roll of cloth made by the French at this time is about half a pen, that is to say, the length of a roll of cloth made by 30 a pen is about two thousand meters.

If the cloth is something that the stone bear wants to add temporarily, then the alchemy contract slave he wants must be obtained.

The scientific theory of this era has not yet been fully established, and the term ”scientist” has not yet become popular. In Europe of this era, the best pronoun for scientists is alchemist. Except for some cheaters, real alchemists are almost all very good scientists.

The stone bear now needs scientists from Europe, very much. He has a lot of science and technology coming from the future in his mind. He knows a lot of technologies. But to turn these technologies into real objects of this era, it must be realized through the hands of these scientists or alchemists.

Stone bear doesn't have the energy to study those technologies. He can only provide these scientists with a big idea or a golden finger occasionally. The specific research work must be completed by these people.

So, the stone bear had thought about the robbery as early as his voyage to okron fortress, because he knew through captain pieno's mouth that there were several alchemists and indentured slaves in the fortress.

Compared with other materials, stone bear valued these alchemists more. Even grain, horses and stone bears are not needed, but these alchemists and stone bears must be brought back to gaoshu tribe.

Unfortunately, there are only three alchemists in the whole fortress, and one of them is a liar.

The swindler was kicked aside by the stone bear without hesitation, while the other two alchemists were taken away by the stone bear and their family.

The two alchemists were indentured slaves, and their families were also indentured slaves. The slave contract was in Fernand's hands, so stone bear easily rescued the two alchemists and their families.

In front of the powerful ”chieftain of chikmon”, fernan is powerless even if he wants to resist. It's true that he has money, but he doesn't have enough armed forces. The most powerful armed forces in the fortress are in the hands of Alphonse and pieno, while fernan's armed forces in their six hands are only about 30 people, which are not the opponents of the ”chikmen fighters” in any case.

In addition to the number of alchemists did not meet the requirements of the stone bear, the number of war horses was also insufficient.

In addition to the horses raised in the barracks, almost all the horses in the whole fortress were raided by fernan and the six of them, but even so, the number of horses was only 36.

However, there are a lot of horses used to pull plows and carts, but why do stone bears want such horses? To pull a plow and a chariot, how can this horse compare with those tame bison?

As for the cloth and grain, it's enough. What pieno said is right. These six guys have stored more than 30000 pounds of grain in the fortress. Although they are very distressed to take out 20000 pounds of grain, compared with their lives, these grains don't matter.

Cloth is one of the main materials traded between the French and the Indians, so there are many cloth stores in the fortress, all of which are cheap.

These materials were quickly loaded on the ship, especially the existence of the 36 war horses, which made the four ships almost unable to load these materials.

Now that they have what they want and what they extort, the stone bear, on the pretext that major Armand is in urgent need of help, takes Captain pieno on board and leaves the fortress of okron
