This chapter is "appreciating flowers and jade" and adding more rewards.

Although he did not wait to see Lytton, Liszt answered these questions for him when he asked him about his cultivation. Speaking of which, the reason why he didn't want to see Lytton was more because of the memory of his predecessor - in memory, Lytton didn't want to see his predecessor, and his predecessor also disliked Lytton.

However, as his horizons broadened and his mentality gradually became detached, he no longer cared about the intrigue between those so-called brothers and sisters.

In fact, he was quite expecting Litton to be promoted to Sky Knight.

It would be interesting if the Tulip family had four Sky Knights, after all, if he wanted to build a country, the family would be a good help.

A few moments later, Livira had accompanied Madame Penelope to the castle.

The first thing the old lady said when she saw Liszt was: "When you go back, remember to go to my castle and pick a potted plant to bring back." ”

"Grandmother, how many new bonsai have you cultivated?" asked Liszt with a smile.

The nightshade insect, the fig insect, the green ingot insect, and the three elven insects completely made Madame Penelope indulge in her own potted plants and could not extricate herself. Maybe it used to be a gimmick of potted plants to reduce the expenditure of gifts, but now there is a bit of a crazy atmosphere.

She already truly believed that she cultivated potted plants, and there was a very high probability of producing elf insects.

When it comes to bonsai, she is particularly excited: "I've recently been fascinated by a batch of succulents, and I found them to be very easy to feed, each pot is healthy, fat and tender, and my cacti are blooming right away." ”

"Then I'm going to take a pot with me. ”

The topics that followed were all small talk.

First of all, we talked about green wool silk, everyone was full of praise for this cloth, and I believe that it was only a matter of time before it caused the madness of the nobles. Then he talked about several new stage plays performed by the Dark Horse Island Repertory Theatre, which has now become a must-see repertoire for the aristocrats of Coral City.

Many burlesque troupes began to imitate the Dark Horse Island Repertory Theatre and gradually switched to stage plays.

However, they are mainly plagiarized from the repertoire of the Black Horse Island Repertory Theatre and have no original ability. It is not easy to adapt a classic play. There is only Liszt, who occasionally has the leisure to choose the right knight and let Avril Mask adapt.

No way.

In the entire Coral Island, he is probably the most read in terms of knights.

He has an authoritative say in how the knight should be adapted, and he knows what kind of plot people like to watch.

......

In the evening, the Counts finally returned from Coral City, and it wasn't long before the dinner began. At the dinner, the Count said a few things about the preparations for this year's Pioneer Order, which, according to the messengers of the court envoys, may be prepared to launch a longer Pioneer Order this year.

"Now that you and I are both Sky Knights, and with the Blizzard Beast Squad attacking the city, I believe that the battle merits that can be fought for will not be worse than those marquis. He said with great ambition, "In order to occupy the initiative in the competition for the title, this year's pioneering order can no longer be low-key." ”

After the capture of an earl's castle by the Pioneer Order last year, the Knights of Coral Island did not continue the campaign for fear of attracting attention.

In case it attracts a siege from many Sky Knights, it will be difficult to resist just William Li and a Wave Sword Saint.

But this year, there is Liszt, others don't know, but William Li knows very well that Liszt's combat effectiveness far surpasses him, and the two join forces, and the general situation can be dealt with.

So.

If it's time to be high-profile, you have to be high-profile.

Li Si nodded and replied, "I will do my best to help you fight for your battle merits, father, but I hope that the family fleet can support me more in transporting serfs." My territory is being vigorously developed, and a large number of serfs are needed, and this year's development has made me intend to accept mainly serfs. ”

"How many serfs are ready to be transported?"

"Twenty thousand is the least, and if I can get a lot of food, I hope to bring back thirty thousand serfs. ”

There are many industries on Dark Horse Island, and with the potential for territorial development, 100,000 people can easily digest it. However, the main constraint is food, and farming and fishing alone obviously cannot make up for the food shortage. Today, there are more than 30,000 people in the territory, and the food consumed every day is enough to fill their stomachs.

Another 20,000 serfs had to be brought back from all sides - the potential for seafood could continue to be squeezed, kelp and kelp could be eaten, and the algae tasted bad, but at least it could replace the feed for livestock. Coupled with the mass production of dhows, offshore fishing is increasing.

It's not good to just eat fish, but you can exchange it for food with the Tulip Fort.

All in all, in the calculations of the territorial officials, 20,000 more serfs would not cause a famine in the territory. But no more will do, and large quantities of food supplies must be transported from other places.

The Earl was surprised: "To transport 30,000 serfs? This is not a small number, the territory of Younas and Trik, the total population is 60,000, 150,000, you have only developed for less than a year, the population will surpass them, can the territory really be digested?"

"At present, the population of the territory is more than 35,100 people, and it is not a problem to accommodate another 20,000, as long as there is food, 30,000 is also a small matter. ”

"If you have confidence, I will arrange the family's fleet and tilt the main capacity towards you. ”

At this time, Levi interjected: "Liszt, you also have a lot of brig cargo ships on Dark Horse Island, you can merge with the family fleet and go on the expedition together." ”

"My fleet is too small, only fifteen ships at present, and at least seven ships are left to meet the territorial freight, and I can only send eight ships to merge with the family fleet. ”

"Eight ships is also a lot of capacity. ”

"Then it's settled. ”

So.

Lasts until the end of the banquet.

The earl held this family banquet, mainly to have a brief conversation with Liszt, and then he had the confidence to go to the Blue Sky Qingshan Palace to discuss how to participate in this pioneering order.

Evening time.

The father and son chatted alone in the study for a while.

The main content is that the earl asked: "Liszt, how is your strength improving?"

"I feel that I have made great progress, every day is a new level, and my current strength should far exceed that of the Sky Knight at the perfect level. When it came time to hunt the boot-billed stork, it was not very difficult. ”

"It's already that strong?"

"Yes, does Father need to think about it? ”

"Forget it. The Count coughed, changing the subject, "Speaking of this boot-billed stork, I think it must have hunted the purple sand crocodile on the island." I've seen the habitat of the purple sand crocodile and there have been traces of fierce battles...... Originally, I was still waiting for the purple sand crocodile to breed offspring, but I didn't want to destroy this big bird's mouth. ”

Although the meat eventually fell into Liszt's mouth, the purple sand crocodile was indeed killed by the boot-billed stork - Liszt just watched.

His conscience was slightly disturbed.

After thinking about it, he said: "If I have the opportunity, I will go to the forests of the continent to go around, meet a suitable magical beast, and capture one for your father." ”

The Earl raised his eyebrows: "I've bothered you." ”

"That's as it should be. ”

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, which can be regarded as warm, but their respective thoughts at this moment are unknown.
