There was actually a reason why Mr. Foster sent someone to borrow money.
First of all, according to the existing intelligence, among the many nobles in the southern part of the Emerald Kingdom, at least one or two families have obvious hostility towards Black Feather Island.
Red Crab Island is the Emerald Kingdom's aristocratic territory closest to Black Feather Island, and the overall strength of the Crab Claw Family on it far exceeds that of Krober's side.
Therefore, Krober must first test the Crab Claw Family's current attitude towards him.
If he could borrow money easily, or simply could not borrow a penny, then both situations were enough to show the Crab Claw Family's true attitude towards him.
Secondly, Kroeber really doesn't have much money at the moment.
After all, if you want to quickly build your own territory, you must invest huge amounts of money.
However, judging from the few hundred thousand gold coins left in his warehouse, it was probably far from enough to achieve this goal.
"Also, take out all the gold and silver coins stored in the warehouse and buy a large amount of food, slaves, tools, livestock, etc."
Krober no longer had enough time to wait for the population in his territory to grow naturally.
He could only increase the population of his territory by purchasing slaves. After all, only when the population base increased could the construction speed be significantly improved, and the reclamation of farmland would also be accelerated.
Food is used as a reserve material because the influx of a large population will cause food consumption to increase exponentially.
Therefore, before the territory achieves self-sufficiency in food, it is necessary to rely on imported food to ensure that the basic food and clothing problems of the people in the territory are solved.
The role of tools and livestock is to speed up construction, ensure food diversity, and increase soil fertility, thereby effectively preventing the loss of nutrients in the soil.
"Yes, sir!"
From Kroeber's expression, Foster keenly sensed that something big was about to happen.
But since it was an order from my young master, there must be some reason for it, and I just need to obey it.
Then, Foster led his men to move boxes full of gold and silver coins out of the warehouse, placed them on the car, and then rushed towards the commercial district outside.
Thus, merchants and ordinary people on Kuroba Island witnessed this scene:
Lord Foster, who is usually serious and steady, actually appeared in the business district in person driving a carriage loaded with large boxes.
After seeing the merchant selling slaves and food, he slowly stepped forward, briefly inquired about the price, and then a light voice came out.
"I want them all."
Foster chose to buy from several companies after asking about the prices, and this scene naturally attracted the attention of many people who were interested.
They left the main road and ran to the alley on the side, then delivered important information to their superiors as quickly as possible.
One of the men, who looked short and thin, was no exception.
When he saw Foster frantically buying slaves and food on the street, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
So he hurried to a dark alley nearby and hurried to find his parents to report the situation.
"Sir! Something terrible has happened! I just saw Foster going crazy, buying food and slaves on the street.
He has already spent more than half of the cartloads of gold coins he brought with him."
He said in an anxious tone.
However, the man hiding in the dark did not respond immediately after hearing the news.
Instead, he stood there quietly, put his hand to his chin, and began to think carefully.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful look, as if he was trying to guess what the reason behind this was.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why Foster wanted to buy so many slaves and food. He had to give up thinking and turned to the servant beside him and said:
"Don't worry about him. We just need to complete the tasks assigned to us by the family. Black Feather Island will eventually belong to us!"
The man hiding in the darkness stood up and revealed his face.
If the young man who was interrogated by Krober just now saw him, he would probably recognize him at a glance. He was the businessman who helped him and extended a helping hand to him.
"Hmph, Krober Golden Rose, Black Feather Island isn't a place you can easily interfere with. You'd better go back and be your gigolo!"
Leaving behind a harsh remark, the businessman slowly walked outside.
"Lord Luke..."
The servant who had just reported the news seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Just say whatever you want to say, don't waste time."
Luke was very patient with the servant who had grown up with him.
“Lord Luke, just now, when Foster was buying slaves.
He and the soldiers he brought with him spread the news that Krobe had discovered a new island and was personally crowned Viscount by the Golden Duke.
It is said that there is a new surname, I think it is called Amethyst Rose."
Hearing this, Luke clenched his fists and growled at the servant in disbelief:
"What? He discovered a new island? No wonder! No wonder he bought so many slaves and food. It turns out he wanted to develop the new island."
Krober's title was promoted, which was not a good thing for Luke and the family behind him.
But since it has already happened, they are powerless to change it.
The only option is to change strategy and gain benefits for the family through other means.
