A figure appeared in the winter sun, and at this time he appeared in front of the gates of Denlenburg, the capital of the Kingdom of Lorik, and he walked slowly through the bustling streets, driving a carriage drawn by a horse.

Due to the prosperity of commerce and the large population, the interior of the castle has long been unable to accommodate the inhabitants, and now there are only one nobles living in the castle.

That's it, the houses in the castle are still hard to find and priceless, after all, there are still a lot of nobles in the Kingdom of Lorik, although there are not many nobles compared to the huge territory, but compared to the nobles of other countries, it is definitely not less.

In addition, due to the rule of the wise King William, the kingdom pursued a policy of commerce, and the nobles received a large amount of income both in business and in their own domains.

It can be said that the average income of the nobles of the Lorik Kingdom is three or four times that of the nobles of the entire Holy Sect world, and after they become rich, they always have to find something to do.

Coupled with the absolute prohibition of private wars between nobles within the kingdom, and the fact that all conflicts were decided by a court of nobles with King William as the judge, there was no reason for them to use the money to expand their army.

In this way, without military expenditures, they had to start elsewhere, after all, silver coins were only silver coins when they were spent, and if they were left to rot in the cellars, they would be just pieces of metal.

Therefore, comparison and luxury goods have become the favorite of the aristocracy, mistresses, fine wine, food, and collectibles, all of which are the goals of the aristocracy.

In addition, after William promised some large merchants who were willing to pay more taxes to the royal family in recent years, some knighthoods without fiefdoms, a small number of merchants also entered the aristocratic industry.

Although the nobles were a little dissatisfied with William's approach, it was nothing, but it also meant that as long as the merchants could bring benefits to the royal family, then the royal family did not mind giving them a small aristocratic status.

This does not mean that capitalism is beginning to sprout, in fact, William will always pay attention to the control of capital, at least for now, the nobles still have huge resources in their hands, and in two or three hundred years, the power of capital will definitely not rise in the kingdom of Lorik.

With the addition of these merchants, the nobles are even more keen to compare, and if they can own a mansion in the inner city of the royal capital, it is simply a matter of face.

Most famously, a wealthy viscount of William bought a property in the inner city from a merchant for 60,000 silver coins.

The man drove through the noisy streets in a carriage loaded with fine venison, and although the forests were the property of the royal family, William declared that hunting could be carried out in them for a certain fee.

He had the good fortune to shoot two of the most delicious stags, and was seen by a nobleman who was going to use them for a banquet.

In this way, he took the venison with him and carried it in a wagon with the intention of transporting it to the inner city to be delivered to the other party.

It could be seen that he was familiar with this place, and a middle-aged man in a robe greeted him: "Yo, Sas, Yo prey is here, is there anything you can provide me?" ”

It turned out that this was a merchant who sold meat, and in recent years, William had obtained the high-quality playground of the two counties of the grassland, and a large number of cattle and sheep were raised, and most of the cattle were used for cultivated land, and the sheep were pure food.

Therefore, selling meat is also a relatively lucrative and common occupation in the Kingdom of Lorik.

The meat merchant didn't just sell mutton, he also cooperated with many hunters outside the city to buy their prey, and many of the wealthier families still preferred to choose some other meat for a change of taste.

A smile appeared on Sas's face, if it weren't for the hideous scar more than ten centimeters long attached to his felt hat, he would have looked the easiest Loald civilian to get along with.

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry Hand, this is what Lord Baron Beleren wanted, let me send it to his house, next time if I have good prey, I will definitely buy it for you as soon as possible!" ”

"Ah, well, remember your words!" Hand said with a shrug.

Sass smiled and said goodbye to him, and then continued on his way, where the hawkers were crowded and noisy.

Many merchants dressed in gold and silver walked along the road with their retinues, and some nobles in rich clothes led their knights to ride war horses through the streets.

At this time, the nobles of the Lorik Kingdom were not like the hypocritical nobles of the Renaissance in William's previous life, who sat in a big carriage all day long.

At this time, the real noble nobles are all out-and-out war nobles, so there will be no such hypocritical and sissy approach.

The residents on the street were ruddy-faced, apparently because the regular nutritious diet had brought them good health, and the half-grown boys were also tall and tall, most of them had grown to more than 1.7 meters.

Compared to their fathers, both in height and in that muscle, they were much stronger, and this was the genetic improvement program that William had been implementing for many years.

Everyone wears more decent clothes, because each of them has their own job, so life is quite solid.

As he passed by a tavern, he was greeted by a bearded man with a short knife at his waist and a nice outfit.

"Yo, Sas, where are you going to sell your prey today?"

"Baron Beleren has taken a fancy to my prey, and I'm going to send him to the inner city!" Sass said with a laugh.

This is a friend he had come to meet, a former veteran who now often played some matches in the arena of Denlenburg, and because of the more wins and fewer losses, he got a lot of money.

But because of his extravagance, he never saved any money.

In fact, ordinary people would not want to make friends with such people, but Sass is not an ordinary person either.

Speaking of which, he used to be a robber, a robber who did all kinds of evil, maybe he still maintained some trace of kindness in his heart, but the day he became a robber, he completely decided that he had turned his back on his image.

During his seven or eight years as a robber, he did a lot of things like burning, killing and looting, and it was not until William ruled Denlenburg and carried out a purge of Denlenburg that he ended his career.

He was captured, and it was during that battle that he was left with a scar on his face.

He will never forget the scene when William's soldiers, who were still earls at the time, breached their camp like wolves, and everything that had been carefully prepared was like paper paste in front of the mighty army, and they tore it apart without any hindrance.

The impenetrable armor, the huge strength, the neat formation, and the incomparable knights all left a deep impression on his heart, and the courage in his heart was completely crushed by any battle.

After three years of hard labor, he was finally released as a commoner, and with the archery he learned as a bandit, he became a hunter and settled in the forests outside the city of Denlenburg.

So far, he has no resentment other than the fear of the royal army, but has some gratitude to them.

He is very satisfied with his current life, not only does he have a small plot of land to cultivate, he only needs to pay 40% of his income as taxes, and the rest belongs to him, and he can hunt in the forest.

The value of his prey was so great that he could now spend his spare time in taverns, casinos and brothels in his spare time.

Later, he also married a gentle wife in the local area and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son was only twelve years old and had joined the militia's youth training team, plus he taught his son combat skills, so that he was among the best in the militia, and the next time the army was expanded or replenished, it was already a sure thing to join the royal army.

The younger son, on the other hand, seemed to have shown a talent for literacy, and he spent ten silver coins to send him to a nearby monastery to learn knowledge, and when he was a little older, he could spend money on the school built by His Majesty.

When the time comes, the good days of his family will come, and Sass feels extremely satisfied with these leisurely days of putting down his sword and spear and taking off his armor, and he has adapted to his current life after leaving the sword and sword.

He finally finished his enjoyment, for more than an hour had passed and he had finally reached the gates of the inner city.

Two guards stopped him and shouted, "Explain your identity!" ”

He answered his purpose truthfully, and took out the coat of arms of Baron Beleren as proof, and in this way, the guards let him into the inner city range of twenty-five meters high and fifteen meters wide.
