And those merchant class were also very surprised in their hearts, as a feudal lord, William was able to say such a thing, which was an indirect promotion of the social status of their group, which was very rare.

After a period of discussion, the commoners below began to praise William's kindness and wisdom.

After the punishment of thirty lashes, the seven civilians returned to the crowd with the help of their family and friends.

After dealing with this case, the rest were all ordinary dispute cases, or criminal cases, and William pronounced the verdict on them according to the script, and then completed the trial in the evening.

Back at the castle, William took off his luxurious clothes and put on the usual clothes he usually wore in the castle, and after having dinner with Wella, he immediately went into the study.

There were so many things that had piled up during this time that he had to deal with them, and William had a lot of things he wanted to implement, so there was no time when he couldn't be idle.

He took out a piece of parchment from a drawer and began to take charcoal and write on it the decree he had conceived, that is, the decree on the relationship between immigrants and natives.

After a night of contemplation, and even Wella came to urge him several times, William refused, although he was a little apologetic, but he could only wait until he had dealt with all these things to make up for it.

In the second half of the night, it was estimated that it was already one o'clock in the morning, and William rubbed his slightly blurred eyes, although there were oil lamps on the table in his study, and a large string of chandeliers on the ceiling, but the light of the fire was still not as good as the sunlight and lights.

Looking at this whole text, William nodded with satisfaction, there was only so much he could think of for the time being, and it was a big deal to wait until later to improve it.

Stretching and listening to the rattling sound of his waist and neck, William smiled bitterly, then got up from his chair and walked out of the study.

"Huh? Vidal? Why haven't you gone to rest yet? As soon as William pushed the door open, he found a tired figure standing outside the door.

"Ah, my lord, you haven't rested yet, how dare I go to sleep without permission? Of course, you have to follow the adults with you! Vidal said, cheering up.

"Ha, thank you for your hard work!"

"It is my accusation and my honor to serve adults!" Vidal said humbly.

"Ah, by the way, I have a piece of parchment on my desk with the decree I intend to promulgate, tomorrow you go to the study, have someone copy a few more points, and then post it throughout the territory, understand?"

"Yes, my lord, I will do it!" Vidal nodded and said respectfully, "So, do you have any other orders, my lord?" ”

"No, go to sleep, I'll go back to rest!" William said with a wave of his hand.

There were torches in the corridors of the castle every other section, so it appeared brighter, and in the light of the fire, William walked to his bedroom.

Taking off his clothes and hanging them by the steaming fireplace, William collapsed on the bed.

He is too tired, not physically, if he is physically tired, the successive battles some time ago are more tired than now, and the place where he is tired is in his heart.

Tired is really tired, worrying about so many things, he basically hasn't done it before, staying up late to write the decree of the territory, which is quite exhausting.

Collapsed on the bed and covered the quilt, and in just a few moments, a deafening snoring sound came from the room.

The next morning, William opened his eyes, put on the clothes that Lingsi had placed at the head of the bed, and looked out the window after washing on the silver basin.

It seemed that it was almost noon, but I didn't expect him to wake up so late today.

————————————————————

"Norwen, we're almost there, let someone know, I can't wait to get back to the warm bed!" Walking on the familiar road, he said excitedly to Norwen.

Ten days of running around had already made him impatient, he didn't eat well and live badly, how could he not miss his warm and soft bed?

"Okay, let the cavalry go to the manor to inform you, at this speed of Anzhai, we estimate that we will be able to reach the manor tonight!" Norwen said with a frown as he looked at the turtle-like team behind him.

They were ordered to move the inhabitants of Bradkman Manor, not where to plunder, and this group of people was completely William's lords, so it was impossible to harm them, although a few soldiers did not strictly observe military discipline and made mistakes, but Norwin strictly followed William's advice and whipped eighty lashes fiercely.

So these soldiers are still lying on the open carriage, and William has already explained to them that military discipline needs criminal law to maintain.

The inhabitants dragged their families with them, not only with their possessions, but also with a lot of ploughing cattle, some horses, and even old hens.

How fast can such a team go? It would have been nice to be able to reach the manor in the evening, and that would have been the case if Norwen had everyone make sleds and everyone would use them to travel.

At this time, William was still busy with trivial matters in the territory, all kinds of people came in and out of his study, and all kinds of orders were issued from William's study, and this small study became the power center of two manors and fifty villages.

"My lord, according to the guards at the gate of the manor, the two adults, Urimu and Norwen, have entered the territory, and the cavalry they sent has informed us, and it is expected that they will be able to arrive at the manor with more than three thousand five hundred civilians this evening."

Vidal knocked on the door of the study and said to William inside.

"Ah, very well, you go and inform the housekeeper that today I am going to hold a small banquet for the two of them, and at the same time you have to be prepared to be resettled by the residents who were brought back!"

William said, a little annoyed in his heart, there are still so many idle civilians in the territory, it would be good to let them build some housing during this time.

This has caused a lot of waste of labor, which is the disadvantage of not knowing how to manage human resources reasonably, but this is also when he is not too mature to manage these and the territory begins to grow in the second wave of explosive growth, he estimates that he will become mature.

William's order was given, and the whole castle immediately began to prepare intensively, although it was only a small banquet, but there were many things to prepare.

Although many knights were killed, all these vacancies were replaced by their heirs, and those knights who had no heirs had to wait for the future to be recruited slowly, so all twenty-two knights had to attend tonight's banquet, and William had to be prepared.

The knights also received the news early, they are not like other knights, they usually scatter and collect villages to collect estates, and only when they are fighting, they will gather together again.

At William's behest, they lived on the manor and trained together, and it was only on Sunday that they were able to return to the fief to reunite with their families.

Finally, in the evening, a long string of fires appeared outside the castle.
