Most of the ecosystem in the secret realm has been damaged, and it will take some time to re-establish it, but after having thirty-three steel golems, Suren only provides the materials and then lets Taling direct the golems to work, and only some of the work that the steel golems can't do will let Suren and Hathaway do it.

The working capacity of more than 30 steel golems has exceeded the engineering team of thousands of people, and these steel golems are all powerful and tireless, and after handing over the task of repairing the secret realm to Taling No. 1, Su Lun began to prepare to build the planting area.

In the planting area, he was going to plant some commonly used demonized plants, but he didn't have many demonized plant seeds in his hands now, so he could only plant them while collecting them. And the work of planting demonic plants is that the steel golem can't be done, it can only be done manually, and many demonized plants have some dangers, ordinary people can't plant them, they can only be carried out by wizard apprentices.

Su Lun did not establish a wizard academy, naturally there is not so much free labor, but he also has his own methods, Alex's harpy is very good, although they are not wizard apprentices, but their strength is not bad, it is still possible to plant and take care of demonic plants, the only problem is that the number of people is a little small, and the planting area opened up in the secret realm is very large, and these people alone can't plant it all.

Such a secret realm is more than enough to support a wizarding organization.

In the planting area, Su Lun gave more than a dozen demonized plant seeds, such as the seeds of the Ningshen Flower, the Golden Thorn Grass Seed, and the Silver Star Grass Seed, to those harpy people for planting. Many parts of the planting area have also not been repaired, but there is no hurry.

Perhaps when he is strong enough, Suren will establish a wizarding academy.

After returning from the secret realm, Su Lun finally remembered that the envoy of the Florentine Kingdom was still waiting to see him, and Su Lun also guessed a few points about the envoy's intention, and nine times out of ten it was still a matter of knighthood.

"Let the messenger of the Kingdom of Florence come to me. Su Lun said to the attendant beside him.

"Yes. ”

Soon, the attendant brought a middle-aged man in his thirties to Suren's study.

"Good day, Your Excellency Suren. The middle-aged man saluted gracefully.

"Good day, I'm sorry to keep Mr. Messenger waiting for a long time, the territory is hastily created, and all kinds of things are too much to be wasted. Su Lun said sorry, but there was no apologetic expression on his face.

"Your Excellency Suren is busy, and we can understand that. ”

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Robert Monroe, it's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Suren. Robert said with a smile.

"You may be seated, Mr. Robert. ”

"I wonder what happened to Mr. Messenger this time in my backwoods," Suren continued after inviting him to sit down.

"Your Excellency Su Lun is so humble, even a child in the Northland has heard of the title of the Pearl of the Northland of Zhenbei City. Robert shook his head.

"Now the bards in the city of Carthuss are singing about your heroic deeds, you are very famous in the provinces of the Northlands, I originally thought they were exaggerating, but after I actually came to the north of the city, I realized that the rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest, you really created a miracle, in just one year, you have built such a large city in the wasteland. ”

Hearing Robert's compliment, Su Lun's heart instantly raised his vigilance, Robert, as a kingdom envoy, had no need to scold him, but now he put his posture so low, if he didn't ask for anyone's trust.

"Sugar, rum and paper in the north of the town are in high demand throughout the Florentine Kingdom. ”

"Hehe, what you see is just the appearance, now Zhenbei City is almost unsustainable, in order to prevent those monsters from fighting back, I must form a huge army, now the number of troops in Zhenbei City accounts for one-third of the total population, and more importantly, these soldiers are not conscripted farmers, all of them are professional soldiers, and the monthly expenses make me feel painful. Su Lun shook his head and said, although he was complaining, it was more of an act of brightening his muscles.

"This kind of pain in the flesh is something that many people can't experience if they want to. Robert shook his head and said.

"I am here to invite you on behalf of the Council of Nobles. Robert smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you have successfully opened up your territory, and you have developed very well, and the noble council has recognized your achievements after research, you can design your own family crest, and go to Carthusian City to receive a knighthood." ”

"I remember that the criterion for determining whether or not to develop a territory was three to five years? Su Lun was not surprised to be recognized by the noble council, but asked very calmly.

"According to the standards of the kingdom, it does take three to five years, but the development of your territory is so good that the noble council has specially approved your Zhenbei City after research, and you don't have to wait three years. Robert said, shaking his finger.

"I see. Su Lun nodded in agreement, but he knew that in fact, this thing had long become a dead letter, and some big businessmen wanted to obtain nobility, the best way was to buy a pioneer order, and then find a place to develop and make a show, and then spend money to buy the noble council to let them recognize the nobility, they didn't care what territory they had, for a noble status.

"Of course, you have to know that we are also taking a lot of risk in doing this, so we need your support. Robert winked at Suren and made an expression you understand. It's just that Robert is going to be disappointed, and he and the Council of Nobles don't know that Suren didn't want to get their recognition at all.

From the beginning, Suren intended to build a new kingdom. Joining the Council of Nobles and gaining ownership of the territories they recognize, as well as the title of Earl of a Council of Nobles, Suren had no intention of accepting from the beginning.

If he accepted their title, it would mean that Suren would join the Kingdom of Florence, and if it was just for the title, just his legendary strength would be enough, and he would not have to go to great lengths to open up the territory in the Northlands.

However, Suren has no intention of turning his face with the Kingdom of Florence now, after all, most of the trade routes leading to Zhenbei City now need to pass through the Northland provinces, and Zhenbei City will get a large number of people from the Northland provinces every month.

Of course, even if they turn their faces, there will still be caravans coming to trade with Suren, but the price will definitely be affected at that time, and they will take the opportunity to lower the price, and then use the excuse of border blockade to sell at a high price and make a high profit. There is no doubt about this, whether it is the history of the previous life or the history of this world, there have been such cases.

The most typical example is the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, on the one hand, it is crazy to prevent the country from opening the sea, and on the other hand, it is crazy smuggling, with the help of the sea ban to kill all competitors, and then they completely monopolize the unimaginable interests in it.

"Thank you so much, but my territory has too many things to do now, so I can't go to Lunar City to receive the knighthood reward. Su Lun first said with great joy, and then with a regretful expression, that acting skill can be a little golden man.

"This..."

"But in order to thank the noble council for their help, I can give you three trading quotas, each of which can buy a hundred catties of sugar and a hundred barrels of rum from Zhenbei City every month. Suren spilled the bait.

Su Lun doesn't know how many people are in the noble council, but after the three trade places are given to them, there will definitely be a scramble, with the urine nature of the noble council, as long as there are enough interests, they don't care who you are, these places are enough for the noble council to compete for a while.

As for the issuance of three trading slots, this is no loss at all for Suren.

Since last month, the sugar beets planted in Zhenbei City have begun to mature one after another, and the output of the Zhenbei City Sugar Workshop has been rising, from about 600 catties of white sugar per month to 1,000 catties of white sugar per month, and this amount is still growing, Su Lun estimates that the output of white sugar will exceed one ton in two months at most.

With more sugar comes more trade quotas, and giving them three places can be both friendly and beneficial, so why not.

Hearing Su Lun say that he could give them three trade places, Robert was also overjoyed, knowing that the noble council had been jealous for a long time about the previous caravans monopolizing the sugar trade in Zhenbei City and thus obtaining a lot of money. If it weren't for the fact that those caravans were all big nobles, they would have snatched them a long time ago, and now they got the three places given by Su Lun, which is naturally better.

"Of course, these three places are also conditional. Seeing Robert's irrepressible excitement, he smiled slightly in his heart, "Zhenbei City is preparing to train some grassroots officials, and there is a lack of some scholars to serve as teachers, so I hope that the nobles who have won the quota will help me find some scholars to teach in Zhenbei City." ”

"They don't need to be well-known academics, as long as they can teach basic education. ”

"No problem, Lord Suren, we'll send you the scholars you need soon. Hearing Su Lun's request, Robert didn't care at all, although there are very few literate scholars in this era, but in the aristocratic circle, there are not many such scholars, after all, many people learn these things to serve the nobility, and even many concubines in the nobility have been educated and can act as teachers, as long as they are willing to easily find hundreds of scholars to come out.

"So happy to work with. Su Lun said with a smile.

"It was a pleasure to work with. Robert was also smiling, as if he had made a big bargain.

Su Lun smiled secretly in his heart, although you make money, I will never lose.
