When everything was done, William took his loot and soldiers to his new territory, Mandes Manor.

Mandes Manor is named after the region, and the world's population productivity and territory seem to be larger than the medieval period in William's memory.

Like him, the title of a baron, if it is really medieval, the population is estimated to be only a few hundred and less than a thousand, but the entire Mendes region has a population of more than 6,000, and the territory is much larger than the barony of the previous medieval, from the size of an administrative village to the size of a township, of course, the strength has also expanded.

From the outside, the whole manor does not appear to be particularly large, but it also has a certain size, and the wall of more than two meters provides sufficient protection for this manor.

The building in the middle was the residence of the lords, including dozens of guest rooms and four master bedrooms, as well as a hall for banquets and large events.

Mandes Manor was originally a direct domain of the Earl, and after the victory in this war, the Count received benefits far beyond the manor.

So the manor was given to William, and the knights here were all transferred by the earl, after all, these villages belonged to William.

William received a document from the Earl, which showed that there were twenty-nine villages under the Manor of Mendes, plus the two villages given by Baron Comos before William, for a total of thirty-one villages.

In terms of population, the total population of the villagers in the manor and the villagers in the village was more than 7,000 people, of course, after William canonized the knights, there were not so many under his jurisdiction.

William had the soldiers work in small groups to inform the villages of the arrival of the new master, and he and two other men and his servants went to his estate.

After explaining the situation to the guards at the gate, he entered the manor smoothly, and learned from the guards that there were only a dozen soldiers guarding the entire manor, and the rest of the soldiers had been transferred by the earl a day earlier.

Therefore, the entire manor is William's world, there is not a single knight under the earl, and there are only a dozen guards left among the soldiers, and William can finally show his skills.

William did not appoint a clerk, a steward or anything like that, and he had no talent for it, so he had to gather the village elders of all the villages the next day.

Including the large village elders in the manor, a total of thirty-two village elders, William spoke: "That's right, I am your new lord, you must fulfill your obligations to me and obey my orders. ”

"Now, my first order is to make a list of the possessions and annual income of your respective villages, and I don't want to snatch them away, but to see how much income I can make each year!" William said.

William looked at the list, and all the cultivated land in his territory added up to 16,700 mu, which was okay, but according to the previous development plan of Xiliu Village, this number could at least quadruple.

If the tax drawn is converted into silver coins, William can get 2,000 silver coins a year, of course, after the village is divided, it will definitely not reach this number, but 1,000 is estimated to have it.

William now has more than 3,000 cash in his hand, and none of those cattle and sheep war horses William has moved, and she wants to stay and plan for the future, and the cattle and sheep, he plans to raise them.

Ploughing cattle can plough the land, sheep can breed more meat and drink milk, improve the quality of residents, William attaches great importance to these, the average height of his soldiers is only one meter six, this kind of physique makes him hateful, so he must strengthen the physical fitness of the residents in the territory, and let the soldiers form as quickly as possible.

The village elders of Stream Village and Orchard Village were also here, and William instructed them to teach the other villages his methods, as well as the making of spears and spears.

After finishing all this, William asked his servants to pass on the news of Baron William's recruitment of knights, and there might be hundreds of knights competing for the fifteen knights.

After explaining, William began to think about the commercial cooperation with Momoa, and he had already made a draft for the product, that is, wine, distilled spirit!

For the other world, which only has a few types of liquor, ale wine, distilled spirits will definitely be able to crush these tasteless liquors, which is also a livelihood that basically every traveler will practice.

This seemed to be a very simple distilled spirit everywhere in other traversers, but when it came to William, he only knew that distilled spirits needed to be distilled, and nothing else......

"I'm rubbing! What's the situation? I knew I could cross and study hard, I'll rub! William was in the study, with a steamer in front of him, and his mouth began to curse and scold, inexplicably aggrieved.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and Vidal's voice sounded from outside the door, and the young man, who had been with William since two years ago, was now beginning to become sophisticated.

Obviously, the timing of his knock was not right, and William was now distraught.

"What? Don't bother me if it's okay! William said impatiently to the door, not even opening it.

William didn't let him in, and Vidal naturally didn't dare to go in and out at will, and said: "It's such an adult, the cattle brought back by the various villages have a situation where they can't plow the land, and they are about to start farming, these cattle can't farm, and the villagers don't have time to reclaim according to the baron's plan." ”

"What?" William pushed the door out: "Take me out and have a look!"

William mounted his horse and followed Vidal to the manor, where the village elder of the manor greeted William respectfully: "Dear Baron, the more than thirty oxen you brought to us do not know how to farm at all, except for a few of them, they look like bison, and they are on a rampage.

William frowned and dismounted, and asked Vidal, "Does this happen in other villages?" ”

"Well, only a few villages close to the manor have received the news, and they are all in the same situation, I guess the other villages should be in the same situation, but the news has not yet reached here." Vidal replied.

looked at the dozens of villagers scattered around, and looked at the more than 30 cattle that were chained, only to see that the more than 30 cows were tied to the tree, and they were already a little irritable, but when they saw William starting to approach, they became more irritable, and even wanted to attack William.

"Watch out for Lord Baron!" Vidal pulled William behind him and stood in front of him.

"It doesn't have to be like this." William pushed him away with a smile, the young man's loyalty was very good.

William listened to the villagers' descriptions and began to understand what was going on.

"In other words, except for those few cows that have been farming since childhood, nothing else knows how to farm at all, right?" William confirmed again.

"Yes, my lord, they are only suitable for slaughter, not for farming." The village elder said.

This village is around the Mandes Manor, called Mendes Village, there are more than 700 people in the village, it is a large village, so William allocated them more than 30 cows, but he didn't expect these cattle to be uncultivated.

William stroked his slightly stubble chin, seriously thinking about the solution, and the others did not dare to make a sound, for fear that he would disturb the baron.

William found a solution after a little thought, that is, the nose ring, the Celestial Empire, as the top civilization in agriculture, is skilled in everything that is cultivated, and the image of the shepherd boy holding a ploughing ox with a nose ring is simply familiar.

The nose ring can make the otherwise stubborn cow obedient, and the copper ring through the nose will make them learn to farm.

William stood up and said to them in a confident tone: "I already have a solution, and tomorrow, I will personally solve this matter for you!" ”

Although William said this, they didn't have any hope for William at all, how could a child who was not yet twenty years old understand this, and it was probably a lie made up for the sake of face.

William didn't know what they thought, so he told Vidal, who had been waiting by his side, to explain the shape of the nose ring, and asked him to find the blacksmith in the manor to make the nose ring.

After all this, he continued to work on his winemaking business, and once the brewing was successful, it would be a big business that would make money every day.

There are four blacksmiths in the manor, and they have several apprentices, one is a local blacksmith who has been here for generations, the other has fled here to escape the war, and the other two are the royal blacksmiths raised in the manor.

The so-called peers are enemies, and the relationship between the two blacksmiths will definitely not be much better, but the later blacksmith is from a war-torn area after all, and he is obviously better than the local metro master for the creation of weapons and armor.

However, the business of this subway craftsman is much better, and some agricultural tools must be made of iron, while the blacksmith from other places is better at forging weapons and armor, so most of his income comes from the lord's conscription.

Since there were more than one hundred and fifty hoops to be made, and they would need to be obtained tomorrow, no one dared to disobey the baron's orders, and the four blacksmiths worked at the same time, and his apprentices were able to process these simple tools, so the one hundred and fifty hoops were quickly made.
