Chapter 275: Rapid Development

The aristocratic girl finally left here under the pull of the maid, and her back gradually disappeared.

Norwen looked at his right hand with some trouble and muttered, "Said you want to repay me...... But you didn't even have a name! ”

As he spoke, he sighed wistfully, but in an instant, he seemed to have caught an important piece of news.

"Count Creman!" He finally found the point of the matter, although he didn't know the name, but he already knew the identity of the other party, to redeem the daughter of the Earl of Creman.

But just as he was happy, he seemed to remember something, and his face, which had been full of smiles, was full of melancholy again.

"He's the Count's daughter, and I'm just a Viscount!" With a wry smile and shaking his head, Nuowen didn't know what his mood was, and finally buried his mind in the deepest part of his heart.

Nowen didn't look out of the ordinary as he came out of the alleyway, but if he looked closely, he could see a hint of sadness on his eyebrows.

Perhaps, this is the legendary love at first sight!

The athletic tournament is held after the polo match, and in the eyes of many knights, the athletic tournament is far more important than the polo match.

Only in the athletic tournament can they show their strength, so that the nobles can sprout a love for themselves and accept themselves as knights.

And there are also many low-level nobles who are ready to participate in this competition, and some of them may have lost their own territory, and they want to make the big nobles appreciate themselves through this competitive conference, accept themselves as vassals, and be able to regain a territory.

And out of these down-and-out nobles, there are also those nobles who want to gain fame, and the rest are some knights who want to be honored or wandering knights who want to be feuded.

This time, William was completely on horseback, and the foot competition was not played at all, and it was also divided into team and individual competitions.

In the end, a champion knight was decided, and the champion knight had a bounty of 1,000 silver coins and received a trophy of pure gold.

And that's not all, the most important thing is that the champion knight will definitely get everyone's attention, and there will definitely be nobles who value his prowess and take him.

Champion knights are not only able to gain benefits, but also fame, so every knight and nobleman is fighting to be the first to get this position.

Under the watchful eyes of William and the three counts, as well as the bishop of the diocese of Denlenburg, and all the nobles and spectators, the knights competed fiercely.

In the end, it was Viscount Norwin of Denlenburg who defeated other competitors to win the game and become the champion knight of Denlenburg.

And the aristocratic girl stood in the middle of the women's table, frowning, and looking sadly at the handsome knight on the high platform.

In the end, a miserable smile appeared on her face, she understood that her identity had already been decided, and it was absolutely impossible for her to be with him.

Although they hadn't even had a formal conversation, Norwen somehow left a deep mark on the girl's letter.

At this time, Norwen also looked high-spirited and stood on the high platform, he had accepted William's reward, and under William's arrangement, he accepted everyone's cheers and applause.

But at this time, his heart was not on this, his eyes were focused on the female table, trying to find the person in his heart.

Although he has given up his unrealistic ideas, he has always been unable to control himself.

After the game, William can be regarded as earning enough face, not only promoting his territory, but also attracting a lot of businessmen.

The most important thing is that he didn't have any money to hold a competitive conference and a polo match, and in the end, he even had a surplus of thousands of silver coins.

Vidal sat in the mayor's office, hard at work, his charcoal pen in his hand writing and drawing on parchment.

"Ski, go and show me this year's business financial statements! The Earl's extravaganza has brought a lot of merchants to Denlenburg, and I need to seize this opportunity to make Sutton's business prosperous! ”

Vidal has been tempered by William's side for a long time, and the prosperous Menders area is inseparable from his efforts, and after training for so long, he also has a very unique view on the internal affairs of the territory.

In just one year since he arrived in Sutton, he had tripled the commercial tax here, from four hundred silver coins to eight hundred silver coins a month.

These are mainly derived from the various refinements he made by decrees without violating the Code of Mendes.

and all kinds of civil infrastructure, all of which he built very well, and Sutton and the surrounding area were shocked.

Even in agriculture, which he was not particularly good at, he also followed William's method to let the villagers below make good use of the farm tools and cattle issued by William, and worked hard to cultivate and cultivate.

On the other hand, the development of the town of Czoro governed by Kenos is also quite good, and they are all law-abiding under the management of Kenos, and crime is very rare.

Because of the clarity of public security, many businessmen have also chosen to come here to operate, although the civil facilities here may not be as complete as Sutton Town, but the security here is definitely better than Sutton Town.

In addition, like Vidal, Kenos also let the farmers cultivate according to William's method, so the development of agriculture was quite rapid.

Overall, there was not much difference in their ability to govern the city, and so did the prosperity of the two towns and the tax money they bringed.

A year has slipped through his fingers after William teased the child, and a year of development has made the whole of Denlenburg look new.

Many of the original teenagers have grown up, and the entire territory has almost tripled as many newborns due to the improvement of living conditions.

In the past year, although not enough to have a doctor in every village, the infant mortality rate has been successfully reduced to 20%.

In this year alone, more than 15,000 newborns were born, which means that after 17 or 8 years, 15,000 people will grow up.

And the commercial tax and other taxes of the entire territory have also made a qualitative leap, the commercial tax has reached 3,000 silver coins per month, and the other taxes add up to about 8,000 silver coins per year.

Counting the vodka and honey industries, William's annual income is about 100,000 silver coins, excluding some expenses.

Of course, the money for those purchases is not counted, the purchase of war horses, the purchase of slaves, and the money for iron materials must be counted separately.

These three items cost William more than 40,000 silver coins last year alone, not to mention the cost of large-scale construction such as William's desire to lay stone roads throughout the territory.

William sat in the middle of the brightly lit hall, with all his vassals flanked by long tables.

Dressed in a magnificent aristocratic robe, he held a scepter given by the king in his hand, and glanced majestically at his vassals.

"I'm ready to start the war against the Middle Chekers!"
