William was busy in the study until the middle of the night, when he returned to his bedroom to rest.

By the time William lay in bed, Wella had been asleep for a long time, but she woke up after William went to bed.

Wella looked at her tired husband in front of her with hazy sleepy eyes, and complained: "Why are you so busy so late today, we don't need to work so hard now, right?" ”

William smiled bitterly when he heard this, rubbed his eyes, which had become sour from working under the oil lamp for a long time, and said, "There is no way, the girl our son likes is not easy to marry!" ”

"Huh?" Wella couldn't help but fall into curiosity when she heard William's words, Charlemagne has a sweetheart? Why don't you know about this?

"That's right!" William explained to Wella: "Our son met a valet at a banquet before, and then he found out that the valet was a woman disguised as a man! ”

"In this way, he became interested in this girl, and finally the two of them fell in love, but that girl turned out to be the princess of the Rhodesan Empire, whose name was Illya!"

William sighed and said, "You know, although our country is considered powerful, after all, it has just been established, and there is still a gap compared to the Rhodesan Empire!" ”

It is very difficult for Charlie's mother to marry Eliya, the princess of the Rodland Empire, after all, we can't bring any benefits to the Rodland Empire now, so they won't marry their daughter to Charlemagne.

William said: "I worked so late to be able to quickly improve the strength of the country, not to mention elevating our country to the level of the Astra Kingdom, at least not to make the Rodland Empire look down on it."

When Wei Na heard this, her face also showed a touch of distress, she felt sorry that her son could not have a lover and eventually become a family, and she also felt sorry that her husband had to pay such a big sacrifice for her son.

After all, William is not too young, and when William reaches the age of forty, he can call himself a middle-aged or elderly person in the Holy Religion world.

And William has reached this age, but he still has to work so hard for his son.

"Thank you!" Wella pressed her face against William's chest, looking very distressed.

William gently stroked Wella's smooth ivory-like back, and said softly: "No way, after all, it is our son and my heir, and his affairs are more important than anything else!" ”

And the next morning, William went to the study again to plan, he planned to change the governor of the Principality of Maineke, where Baron Nair would be stable, but it was not easy to develop quickly and plunder a large number of orc slaves and population.

Baron Nair had been with William for a long time, so William knew his character very well, and if he was asked to do such a vicious thing, he would obviously not be able to do it.

In this case, William had to send a ruthless man who could be ruthless enough to be the governor.

Even William hoped to expand the colony, a single Duchy of Mainek was no longer enough to support the orc slaves needed by the entire Lorik Kingdom, and William also hoped to enrich the Lorik Kingdom with a large number of people through human trafficking.

These are all things that Baron Nair is not capable of.

So William's plan to change the governor of the region had to be put on the agenda.

William's initial plan is two, one is to be a Kriza, after all, he is a Kriza and has received this kind of education since he was a child.

And the other is Delseth, as the heir of the Principality of Zenketu, he is more familiar with the surrounding environment, plus he fled due to the collapse of the country, he is also decisive.

Both men could expand their territory and plunder large numbers of people and slaves wherever they went, but William was hesitant to send them.

He is his absolute confidant, but although he is ruthless, he is not very familiar with the situation in the Duchy of Maineke and the surrounding countries.

Deseth, on the other hand, is very familiar with the surrounding situation and can be decisive, but William does not trust him as much as Urimu.

After all, Delseth is the heir of the Duchy of Zenketu, who can guarantee that he will not help him hastily restore the country after he has a heavy army.

So William was like this, oscillating between the two, but the withdrawal of Baron Nair was already a foregone conclusion, and the order to bring him back was on the way.

William planned to increase the colony this time, and there was only a garrison of 1,200 men in the entire Duchy of Maineke, which combined with the army of servants recruited locally, was a very strong force.

But if you want to expand the territory, these troops are not enough, so William plans to increase the number of troops in the colony, anyway, William has not planned to use troops on a large scale for a while, but militia training should be on the agenda.

William was able to have such a large reserve soldier before, because there was a militia system all over the territory, and with a little training, he could become a qualified elite soldier.

Now, if William still wants that effect, it must be implemented throughout the kingdom, and it is not possible to have only the Denlenburg people in the army, so that others will think that Denlenburg is a conqueror, not a merger.

And William also selected about 200 people from the original royal knights and the second or eldest son of the noble family to enrich the Iron Cross Knights.

In order to make up for the previous losses, as well as to stabilize the hearts of other nobles in the kingdom.

William's initial plan was to increase the strength of the colony to 3,600 men, that is, the strength of a division, and then send a wing of Iron Cross Knights to take charge, in addition to archers and crossbowmen.

And then add to that the locally recruited army of servants, and an offensive against a single country should be enough.

At this time, it had been two months since the establishment of the Kingdom of Lorik, and it had been more than three months since the laws and policies formulated by William had been implemented.

The spring ploughing was complete, and while the spring ploughing was taking place, the serfs were also borrowing the ploughing cattle that William had mobilized from the two prairie counties to clear the fields.

Combined with William's more cashier farming techniques, William is confident that this year's grain production alone will triple.

In addition, a large amount of grain in William's treasury also entered the market of the Kingdom of Lorik, and began to reduce the price of grain that had risen step by step due to the war.

Under the policy of exempting William from tax in the first half of the year, and canceling all tax cards in the country and only having to pay customs duties, merchants also entered the kingdom of Lorik in large quantities.

As a result, the commerce of the entire kingdom of Lorik prospered, and William also ordered Jia Yu to lead people to establish more than a dozen commercial cities in the kingdom, and more than 20 commercial towns that were mainly commercial and one level lower than the city.

This is no small project, even if it were to be built with 50,000 powerful orcs, it would take a year or two to complete.

Not to mention the fact that there are other buildings in the country, such as mills, blast furnaces, waterwheels, stone roads, forts every ten kilometers, and village towers or watchtowers, all of which are a lot of labor gaps.

That's why William wants the colony to increase the number of slaves again, and the current orcs are no longer enough for William.
