Chapter Ninety-Two: Wealth

Dona has always considered himself a good father and a loyal man, and the two are not in conflict. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, this time he asked his son to follow the lord on an expedition and adventure, he didn't think there was anything wrong with that, and in any way, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Being able to get along with the lord day and night and cultivate friendships, where to find this kind of opportunity in the past!

Besides, after all, he has a lot of power, and the lord is young, and he has no heirs or family, if he holds great power after he leaves, but stays in the land of honey wine with his family, will it attract some gossip?

Although the benevolent lord never cared about that, and he would never have any superfluous or undesirable thoughts because of this, he had to consider the gaze of others.

In fact, there is nothing in this world that is not risky, any successful person has walked over the cliff, and even a man like him, who has been stumbling for half his life, has experienced countless ups and downs.

If the child really doesn't want to, he would rather eat and wait for death, he will not persecute it, after all, he has the confidence to take care of his family. But sensing the child's ambition and worship of the lord, he felt that he needed to do something for his son, not to help him get a fat position, but to help him make up his mind to grasp his future!

This is also his way of repaying the lord's kindness! He is well aware of his limited abilities, but he is always proud that he has an energetic son!

He didn't care about the reason why the lord valued him, he actually knew very well that what he needed was not a Bole, but a boss who could give him respect, Ling Qi was not the first person to recruit him, but he was the only one who regarded him as a character, so his gratitude to Ling Qi was definitely incomprehensible to others, just like the two teammates had difficulty understanding why Ling Qi would choose him as the head of the guard.

His potential is not as good as Nitin, and his strength is 108,000 miles worse than Farryn. However, the loyalty of 96 points without any influence is even more rare than the first two at his age.

You can't expect a middle-aged person to be as easy to deceive as a teenager, and just a few words will make his blood boil. It is not easy for such a person to increase his loyalty, but even if there is no forced restriction by external forces, it is extremely difficult to betray.

Dona's biggest regret is that he doesn't have a daughter, otherwise maybe his relationship with the lord can be closer, but fortunately, most of his wives have a good relationship with the ladies of the inner house, especially the most favored Monroe, who is as close to his wife as mother and daughter.

This is also the biggest reason why he took the initiative to support this girl during this time, and the two sides got along happily and peacefully.

He and his family had always disliked the butler named Alex, and the mysterious woman named Charles, and he always felt that there was a kind of annoying temperament about the two of them.

It turns out that those two were born anti-bones and lived up to the trust of the lord. Fortunately, the lord is no longer alone, he still has these loyal subordinates!

With the help of the Elven Emissary and Monroe, Dona, like many others, felt that the Land of Honey would be impregnable, at least until the lord returned.

No amount of impact from the outside world will affect this paradise. And as the situation develops, it will become more and more prosperous, more and more powerful, and it is not impossible to build a country one day!

The Land of Honey has more than 2,000 inhabitants, and is surrounded by vast tracts of unused land, and the fertile hilly plains to the west are coveted by any ambitious person.

This is already the prototype of a country, although more than half of the local population has fled recently, but the so-called old people in the land of honey wine have only moved here one after another in the last six months.

This land has a magical assimilation power, and like the enigmatic personal charm of the lord, anyone who comes here is reluctant to leave.

With the fertility of the surrounding land, even without the trade supported by the hobbits, as long as the population reaches 3,000, it can become a small world of its own and self-sufficient, it will be a real country!

Everyone knows that the lords of the Land of Mead Wine are descendants of ancient royal families, and the old people of the Land of Mead are even more convinced of this. A descendant of a royal family, who somehow invested a lot of wealth to build a rich territory, would not have greater ambitions?

Dona also has ambitions, and if the lord has the heart to establish a state, then he...

He is not old, and in this world of great controversy, and there is an elven clan that is more mysterious and powerful than the dwarves, maybe he can also follow the man who exudes heroic charm from top to bottom, and leave a strong mark in history!

Maybe his family...

What Dona and most people didn't expect, or subconsciously ignored, was that he was never the only one who was ambitious, especially those who were not in much the same situation as the descendants of the ancient royal family, the landless nobles...

Their ambition is the real ambition!

They have lost their territory, but they are still immersed in the disbelief of reality and the nostalgia for the past. There are only a few cronies and remnants of the defeated army left around these people, and they have no appeal alone, if they are united!

If in the past, the land of honey wine could not enter the eyes of some people because of its short rise time, then now, with the change of the world pattern, as the guardian of this territory is far north...

Here, in the eyes of some, has become an ownerless cake!

The gray light in the north had just fallen, and in the southwest, the haze had arrived at the same time.

The Land of Honey is located near the Brandy Bridge, between Cadolan in the southeast and Arthuran in the northwest, and of course, the name used today is still from ancient times, and in fact the large and medium-sized powers that once occupied the fertile lands and established order have disappeared into history.

To the west of the Brandy Bridge, on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Brandy River, is the Shire, across the river from the Land of Mead.

It was a land of the Hobbits, rich in water and soil, and a pleasant climate, and rich enough for any outsider to covet.

The land on the east side of the river, although slightly more complex than the plains and hills on the west, is generally quite good.

With the land of mead as the axis, except for the old forests in the south, the mines in the southeast, the forests and marshes in the east, the north hills in the northeast, and the fortast under the north hills, large areas of land are ownerless and suitable for farming.

Of course, there are many borderlands in Middle-earth, and there are many fertile ones, but the few are only the people who cultivate the land and the armed forces that protect these people from persecution.

It has been a long time since the lord of the Land of Honey sent men to sweep away the wild beasts in the old woods, and drove the goblins entrenched in the eastern forests to the swamps further east, and then wiped out the robbers from the North Hill, there has been no incident of wild beasts or bandits hurting people in this vicinity for a long time.

And after the world chaos, the two free mercenary lands of Bray and Fortaste happened to become the barrier to the southeast and northeast of the land of honey. They can ignore the robbers who are also humans, and they have to kill the orcs, because the self-respecting system of raising robbers will no longer work for them. This also makes this emerging territory, which has no shortage of armed forces, even more impregnable.

Such a good location, no one has thought of occupying it before?

There was no demon plague before, and no fool was willing to use money to smash a trade route in this place before!

The old owner of the Honey Wine Manor had also tried to follow the same path of development as Ling Qi now, and the end of his almost bankruptcy was a stark lesson.

He lacks the funds to improve his surroundings, and he does not have much armed force at his disposal, so even the hobbits are willing to ignore his trade requests, let alone help him work and produce and sell his own products.

So, when he was lucky enough to meet Ling Qi, he quickly handed over the territory under the notarization of a third party - the existing buildings on the territory are the value in the eyes of the nobles, and the land is worthless.

Therefore, the reason why the land of honey wine can be rich today is that outsiders really contribute to it.

You must know that this place has been a bottomless coin machine until Ling Qi left, of course, not many people know this.

When everything is on the right track, backed by the wealthy Shire, the Land of Mead truly shows the potential of a commercial base after the lord leaves!

In the past, Changhu City relied on the lonely mountain, relying on the gold, silver and jewelry transported from the lonely mountain, and became the trade center of the northern world, and even they established a city on the lake.

Today's meaded wine land is a copycat version of Long Lake City, although the Shire is not a lonely mountain, there are no piles of gold and silver jewelry, and there are no legendary craftsmen who process gemstones into luxury jewelry that even the elves will not want to return, but the various flavors and snacks exported from the Shire, mellow wine, are just as popular.

Of course, the windfall profits of food and silver are not as good as gold and silver treasures, but there are definitely a lot of business opportunities, and the floating population is a kind of wealth, with a large amount of gold and silver smashed out of a solid foundation, with the change of the world pattern, this acquired advantage has been magnified ten times!

The Shire are extremely large, and even though the population is small, the output is quite large, and the output is more than enough to support the consumption of trade, if it is used to feed people, enough to feed six to eight times the population of the human race, and every hobbit is the best farmer and cook, and some are proficient in winemaking.

The delicious liquor attracted homeless dwarves, and the excellent treatment after official naturalization attracted countless upper-class adventurers.

Every dwarf is an excellent blacksmith, although not every dwarf is from the Lonely Mountain, and some wandering dwarves, even like the homeless wild elves, are not recognized by their own kind, but their craftsmanship is good, and they are already very good compared to humans, and they are less burdened by status. They soon had their own industry and circles in the local area, and they did their best to upgrade the equipment of the local escort.

And the large number of adventurers who have settled down is an excellent seed for a new batch of warriors!

The Land of Mead is a unique place, perhaps infected by the peaceful atmosphere of the Shire, perhaps by the personal charm of the lord, but in short, the inhabitants are very happy, there are few strife, and they are very united, even elves and dwarves can drink and talk.

In peacetime, there is trade to support the output of food and armaments. During the war, it was only necessary to open a warehouse to recruit troops and release food to settle the people, and immediately a large number of warriors came to serve!

In such a paradise, in the foreseeable future, even if there is no promotion from the general trend, it will only take ten years at most, and the land of honey wine will become the country of honey, a strong domain, and become the continuation of the kingdom of Moriado!

Unintentionally inserted willows and willows, Ling Qi originally just wanted to do a small experiment, and by the way, he left himself a way back, how could he have thought that its development momentum was completely beyond his expectations. And once these are exposed to the eyes of some people, they are immediately surrounded by wolves!
