Chapter 290: Fortification and Horse Farm

William was given a pasture with thousands of Chekers in it, and William was finally able to assemble the long-awaited light cavalry force.

But don't look at the fact that William has already acquired this pasture, and so far his rule over this place is only in name.

The first step in establishing true rule here is to build fortifications, preferably a strong castle that can be used to control the perimeter.

Coupled with the immigration policy, the number of Loald loyal to William outnumbered the Chekels, so that they could not make any waves.

Otherwise, not only will William not be able to make full use of this extra territory, but it will also lead to the instability of the form here, and it will cost more financial resources to control this place and consume more troops to garrison here.

And once a war breaks out, this is undoubtedly the first place to fall, and if you can't get benefits, you will have to suffer, so William won't want such a territory.

Therefore, construction is inevitable, and the advantage here lies in the abundant pastures, as well as the Cheker people, who are proficient in riding.

Coupled with the natural environment here, raising war horses and raising large herds of sheep and cattle are all very good choices.

After all, Denlenburg is an agricultural area, and although there is a lot of idle land that can be used for raising, forage and other things are really not suitable for raising this kind of livestock.

Not only do they sometimes eat forage, but they can't be raised on a large scale, and the sheep introduced by William in the whole of Denlenburg are about 20,000, but they have to be scattered in various villages, and they cannot be managed in a unified manner.

These pastures can provide daily food for 50,000 sheep, and the same is true for cultivated cattle, especially war horses, which are the best breeding grounds.

William was in high spirits when he returned to the castle, and at the gate of the castle, all the female officials, maids, guards, and even cooks and grooms in the entire castle went out to greet them.

Of course, the soldiers could not have followed William to the castle, and they were all taken to the barracks inside the castle, where a revelry awaited them.

The ladies of the court, dressed in uniform, all appeared at the door to meet their husbands.

Seeing the knights of the Inner Mansion who came back alive, their hanging hearts finally relaxed, although the messenger who came back to report the news had already said that the casualties in this war were very small, but they were still very worried.

After all, it was their husband, and they relied on it all their lives, and if the knights of the Inner House were killed or injured, they would be very sad.

However, their role in becoming court ladies is also to keep the morale of the knights of the inner palace calm and not affected in any way, so that they have no worries and fight bravely on the battlefield without fear of death.

The wife is a female officer, the eldest son becomes a trainee knight, and the second son is trained as an official, and they are indeed fearless on the battlefield.

Due to the strict discipline of the knights, they did not go to reunite with their families without William's permission.

After William nodded in agreement, they ran over and hugged their wives, asking about the recent situation and the condition of their children, while the wives snuggled into their arms and told their thoughts during this time.

William was no exception, walking quickly to Wella's side, hugging her petite body and leaning against his chest.

"I'm back, don't think I'm?"

He asked softly as he pressed his lips to Wella's tiny ear.

William's scorching breath made Wella tremble, her cheeks flushed, and she put on the countess's shelf a little shyly, and said proudly: "I don't want to!" I don't know how idle you are during this time! ”

He looked at Wella dotingly and smiled, touched her little head, and without speaking, took her smooth, soft little hand, and walked towards the castle.

The others, watching the two of them walk towards the castle, also followed suit.

A rich feast had already been prepared inside the castle, for William had been sent to inform him when he was twenty kilometers away from Denlenburg.

The hall is filled with delicious food, all kinds of complicated soups, ingenious food, dishes made from cherished livestock, and classic grass food such as boiled apples, white bread, and whole lamb roasted in honey.

Candles burned in the hall, illuminating the inside, and nobles held glasses filled with mellow vodka.

When William became Count of Denlenburg, he more than tripled the size of these workshops and tripled the scale of beekeeping.

And after opening up the trade route in Zhongchekel this time, William will expand the production capacity of these products and increase his income.

William's circus and dancing girls performed in the middle of the hall, the court band played symphonies with various instruments, and the troubadours sang their psalms with their organs.

"Oh, why are the nobles laughing?"

"Oh, why are the knights laughing?"

"Oh, why are the soldiers laughing?"

"Why do they have gold coins and weapons in their hands, and that invisible pride?"

"The wind is blowing, the rain is pouring in, the cold wind is whimpering, it is the sorrowful cry of the dead!"

"The night eats people's souls, but the brave warriors are still fearless!"

"Their battle flags, their coats of arms, that's their pride, their honor!"

"The scars on their bodies, the new wounds, that is the glory that belongs to them, that is the mark left on their battlefield!"

"The tattered battle flag, the blood-stained blouse, do not look ugly and embarrassed at this moment, because they bring victory, and pride and honor belong to the victor!"

"Revel, victors!

"You are entitled to enjoy anyone's admiration, and you are entitled to talk about your heroism on the battlefield!"

"Carnival, victors!"

"This is the right of a man, a child of the Father!"

"Let's !! party"

With the troubadour's last high-pitched and impassioned sentence, the whole poem finally came to an end, and the atmosphere in the hall reached its peak, where everyone cheered and cheered.

Eventually, the feast lasted until everyone was drunk and unconscious, and the servants carried them to their rooms one by one.

And William, who is also a newlywed little Biesheng, spent a wonderful night with Wella.

Early the next morning, William sat down in his study and began to plan his plans for the construction of the city and the construction of the horse farm.

The scale of the castle does not need to be that large, the scale of Mandesburg is fine, and the surface does not need to be paved with so many stones, just the masonry and civil structure.

And around the castle, a post that can be garrisoned by a dozen people should be built at intervals to strengthen the control facility.

And William planned to open a large horse farm, right next to the castle, where to train war horses.
