"Aha, that's our new weapon, it's a little powerful, I didn't think you could remember it. ”

Duke snorted and tried to fool the matter around, but he knew it wasn't going to be easy.

When organizing a rescue team to rescue Agnes, the people he brought with him were all equipped with brand-new magic rifles, and they were constantly using them the whole time, and the power and firepower were extremely dazzling in this time that they had never seen ***.

So no matter how much he tried to hide it, Agnes would always notice that these things were unusual, and he soon asked Duke directly.

"Ha, you don't have to lie to me, I touched Uncle Simon on the first day I came, and I stole a handful and shot a wild boar, roasted and eaten!"

Agnes said to herself, completely oblivious to Duke's face as black as the bottom of the pot.

Suppressed his surprise and anger, he asked Agnes, "You said you entered the workshop I guarded on the first day?"

"Ahh......h

"Stop, stop!"

Seeing that she was going on without holding back and knowing all the family backgrounds that Duke regarded as a secret weapon, he hurriedly shouted to stop Agnes, who was still unfinished.

"So there's anything else you don't know?"

"Did you say you put it in the workshop? Of course not!"

Hearing this, although Duke's heart was still like a convulsion, he was still secretly relieved, at least this crazy woman didn't touch the side of the dark mountain range, and found out the magic stone mine that he was the biggest secret and relied on to provide energy.

In this case, even if he can't defeat Agnes, Duke must consider restricting or sanctioning Agnes in all aspects, otherwise he can almost immediately foresee that Hu will face death.

"But those things of yours are really good, and if you use them well, you might be able to make a difference. ”

However, Agnes suddenly put away her playful meaning again, and said quite seriously.

Duke was still a little uncomfortable with this, and could only respond with silence, not knowing whether the other party meant to say this or whether it meant something else.

"Okay, I'm looking for you today for so many things, you go back, I'm tired too. ”

There was silence between the two for a moment, and Agnes suddenly yawned and waved his hand to drive Duke out of the room, and said with an impatient look on his face.

After taking a deep look at Agnes, Duke bowed slightly and left her room, taking with him countless secrets and new realizations.

..........

It has now been almost a month since the last time he consulted with his ministers about the resettlement of displaced people.

Over the course of a month, both Vlavich and Joseph were doing their best to use the resources at their disposal to make this happen.

The chimney of the newly built Connaughton cement firing plant, even at night, has a long chimney that never stops black smoke coming out of the long chimney, indicating that the firing plant has been operating through the night.

From morning to evening, one after another, horse-drawn carriages carried countless huge bags from the black hole gate of the firing factory to another hot construction site to become the masonry of the new building.

In less than a month, by employing idle local peasants to work, with the help of anvils, a complex of buildings large enough to accommodate nearly 5,000 people was quickly built.

And all of these buildings are equipped with new heating equipment, which can provide the most affordable heat source with the least amount of energy, enough to ensure that these 5,000 people can spend a warm winter in the next few months.

After the hardware facilities were basically up to standard, Joseph planned his original caravan and selected the guys who could speak well to form a dozen strange teams that Duke became a preaching team.

With only a document written on the northern duke's preferential treatment of the homeless people, the reason for the resettlement of the homeless, and the necessary self-defense weapons, they led the mules and horses to the gathering place of the homeless people deep in the mountains with warm hope, and spread Duke's letter to the homeless people everywhere.

In this way, after a month of running in the mode of full firepower of the entire Dukedom of the North, the mountains of materials and resources have been integrated at an incredible speed, waiting for the first batch of outcasts to be attracted.

Duke awoke from his sleep with some joy that day, and since he had spoken deeply with Agnes a month earlier, he had become much more transparent and more urgent.

Therefore, every bit of development in the current territory will bring him different pleasures and joys, as if every point of progress is the cornerstone of his future life.

He didn't tell his subordinates about the content of the last conversation, after all, there were too many things involved, and some of them were just unarmed ordinary people.

In the end, he carried it all on his own, and after a few days of depression and hardship, he finally improved dramatically when the territory exploded with extraordinary productivity and efficiency.

Therefore, he now likes to visit the construction site every day, as if every hammer blow on the construction site and the completion of the building have built a strong line of defense in his heart.

Another thing to be happy about is that the annoying messengers who had been blocking the gates of his castle and harassing him, trying to meet His Highness through him, had finally died with the onset of winter.

By this time he could no longer hear their noise, and the castle was comfortably quiet again.

Quietly enjoying this rare comfortable time in a while, he stretched lazily and let out a comfortable sigh from his mouth.

A guard crept in, and when he saw that his lord had come to his senses, he reported in a loud voice, "Lord, it's snowing. ”

Well?

Duke was startled, and immediately bounced out of the warm and comfortable bed, shutting his feet on the cold floor, unaware.

As soon as he opened the curtains, the silver-clad world outside that was very different from his usual one gave him a great visual impact, and it also indicated that the winter he had been waiting for had finally really come.

"yes, it's snowing......"

He lowered his head and muttered, but his heart was on fire, a new opportunity for the development of the Northern Dukedom was about to come......
