The sun was still hiding on the other side of the planet, and more than 300 soldiers with heavy loads were training brutally on the slightly dimly lit ground.

The weight on their bodies made them panting during the training, although they had adapted to the previous training, but William added twenty kilograms of weight to them on a whim, and if they went to the battlefield, their equipment was estimated to be this weight.

"My lord, Mo Moa is here, and he wants to see you, and he seems to have brought some ...... Goods! "Vidal is now being assigned by William to deal with these things, although his talent is limited, but he is still young, as long as he is given some training, he may not be able to become William's assistant.

"Ah, okay, take him to the hall to meet me, and I'll be there!" William said.

Giving the soldiers the order to rest in place after the run, William straightened his clothes and walked into the hall.

"Your Excellency......" Mo Moa stood up and said respectfully to William.

"Well, did you come here to give me this month's share?"

"Yes, my lord, there are a total of 1,260 silver coins here, which is the profit from the sale of wine this month, and President Lance means that he hopes that your Excellency can expand some more production, and the market in the Denlenburg area is not yet saturated." Mo Moa said.

"I see, is there anything else?"

"Also, my lord, you said before that you need some people, our guild has found a suitable source of goods, the small one has brought you more than a hundred slaves this time, and the next group will arrive in five days!"

"So much?" William was a little surprised.

After all, this place is different from the east in his previous life, their population is relatively sparse, and the lord will not be too harsh on his inhabitants to prevent them from surviving, except for some factors.

And if it is to directly plunder the villagers in their territory, it will undoubtedly cause war, so William is a little curious, where did such a large population come from, this time it is more than two hundred!

"Where did you get so many people?"

"This ......" Mo Moa didn't answer immediately, he was a little embarrassed, after all, it was a trade secret.

"Huh? Don't want to tell me? Yes! I see, yesterday the guild came to me and wanted to act as an agent for sales in the north of Denlenburg and neighboring countries, should I say yes? William said with a seemingly self-contained threat.

"Don't, my lord, I said, in fact, these people are the displaced people we found from the western part of our Tskma Kingdom, and the Tskma Kingdom is at war with the Lillard Kingdom in the west, which led to the displacement of the inhabitants of that area, so we got so many people." Moa told William the whole story.

It dawned on William that long before the war with the Chekers, William knew that the kingdom was at war with others, and it had already been like this.

Thinking of the displacement of refugees in the western part of the kingdom, William's heart was alive, not that he gloated, if these refugees poured into his territory, what a fortune it would be, and his territory would have infinite potential.

William plans to send some people to be human traffickers, and the final flow of these populations is Mendes Manor, and now William dares to do anything for the sake of the population, he will not be willing to be a little baron.

Although William planned to send people to be human traffickers, of course, the more the population, the better, so he didn't say that he would terminate the cooperation with the Reims Guild, and deduct their due part from the more than 1,200 silver coins, leaving more than 900 pieces.

The human trafficker affair was not simply conceived, but something that was about to be implemented.

After all, it was a war in the west, and it was difficult for people to move here, and in their eyes, Denglenburg, which bordered the Chekers, was more dangerous than their original hometown, so it was far more likely to go to the royal capital than to come here.

William increased the production of distilled spirits to eight hundred cans per month, and estimated that the market in Denlenburg was so large that the only way to open up business elsewhere was to find guilds in other regions, and the Count would obviously not agree, even if he had a stake.

William thought about it and decided to give the distilled spirit a name, after all, it's not the same thing to always have no name, so it's very vulgar, vodka appeared for the first time on the otherworldly continent.

After the hard work of two blacksmiths and a dozen apprentices, it took three months to complete twenty-three pieces of chain mail, matching helmets and blouses, and long swords and shields.

The rest is the half-length horse armor that William confessed, but this thing is dispensable for the time being, and the chain mail is given to the knight to let them understand William's strong strength.

William gave them half of the price of these things, and William lost a lot, but the good thing is that these knights have a clear understanding of the strength of their masters, even if they want to betray, they have to weigh it.

The other ten sets of equipment like the knights were handed over to the ten most well-trained cavalrymen, and although their combat effectiveness was not yet formed, they trained the hardest and achieved the best results.

As for the other cavalry, they were not so sophisticated, and like the infantry armor, they were all leather armor embellished with iron plates, but there were some differences in helmets and weapons.

William was deeply impressed by the advantages of armor, so he was actually a little superstitious about armor, so whether it was the armor of cavalry or the armor of infantry, William required high protection.

Even, William thought that if he became rich in the future, even the infantry would be equipped with iron armor, and the knights and heavy infantry in iron armor were the romance in William's heart and the romance of men, even if he knew that it was not realistic.

"Norwen, I have a task for you!" William said to Norwen, who was training the cavalry in combat skills.

"What?" Norwen asked.

"You and Urimu take our remaining dozen soldiers and are in ...... After taking a few knights and going to the west of the kingdom, you know where there is a war, I want you to bring back some of the population, understand? William looked meaningfully at Norwen, saw that he immediately understood what he meant, and returned to the room satisfied.

————————————————————————

For more than three months, William had mastered the training of the cavalry, infantry and knights to fight together, and since he had sent Norwen and Hurim out, he had to take on these responsibilities.

In the heat of summer, they still wore heavy and stuffy armor for training, and a large part of the infantry also wore armor, and when the blacksmiths had done this, all of them had to train in armor.

In the past three months, Norwen and the others have returned four times, and each time they have been able to bring back four or five hundred people, plus the population sent by the Lance Guild every month, and now the population of his direct territory has reached six thousand again.

Even if another 300 full-time soldiers are withdrawn, it will not have any impact on production, although if they are all armed, they will not be able to support it financially, but with soldiers, are they afraid that they will not have armor?

However, William did not start training the next batch immediately, first, this batch of soldiers had not yet been trained, and second, he did not have the time and energy at all, and the production capacity of the territory could not be made into his plan for the next batch of full-time soldiers, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

Now William had a balance of more than 800 silver coins a month, and there were no major expenses except for the salary of five copper coins for the soldiers, and some equipment maintenance.

At the beginning, they were equipped with a huge amount of money for William's first month plus the booty, and the follow-up did not need to pay so much, so he could have more than eight hundred silver coins left.

However, the population of the most recent delivery has been somewhat smaller, because the war between the kingdoms of Tskma and Lillard has ended, and it has ended in the defeat of the kingdom of Tskema, which has compensated the other side with 400,000 silver coins and ceded two castles.

Obviously, this kind of human trafficking cannot be done, and William plans to leave them without Norwen next time, and then stay and train the soldiers.

William's vodka has taken over the entire high-end liquor industry in Dülenburg, and it is obviously difficult to find any further out.

Denlenburg does not have a tax card for vodka, which does not mean that other regions do not have a tax card, unless he is strong enough to force the nobles of other regions to cancel the tax card.

But obviously this is impossible, the little baron does not have the strength yet, so he can only pin his hopes on the earl, let him go and talk to the nobleman who has a good relationship, maybe give some benefits and send it away.

Not to mention the sea trade, William's territory, and indeed the entire Denlenburg region, is not close to the sea, and there is not even a single river with transportation capacity.

No one is too much money, and no one will object to expanding the business a little, William is not satisfied with only one vodka, he plans to make something else to make money.

Besides, he can't just patronize himself to make money, this state-owned enterprise is definitely not as much as the tax revenue, so it is inevitable to encourage business.

Of course, his territory is still too small to attract many big merchants, and his income may not be as much as selling alcohol, but as long as his territory expands, then the tax drawn is definitely not a small amount.

Therefore, it is inevitable to cancel the checkpoint of the territory, and he even has to give some preferential policies in the early stage to attract the arrival of merchant groups.
