Months flew by. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just when King Wu Pheasant was on land and water, and the army of 100,000 invaded Lingzhou, and the world was terrified, Wu Ming's eyes also returned to the world of Sail.

In the blood-red universe, the Sear continent, as the core of the universe, has also experienced a long time.

Firefly Plains, Tucker Mountains, Karos Collar.

The whole territory has already undergone earth-shaking changes, with several major roads running across it, and you can often see the bustling flow of people, traffic, and caravans coming and going, day by day.

In the center of the Carros Domain, a castle has been erected, towering and tall, and it looks thicker and stronger than the average baron's castle.

This is the 'Iron Castle', the current center of the reign of the Carross, where the knight William Wallace lives and works every day.

Inside the Iron Castle.

The large pink bed was filled with a smell of fat powder.

Wu Ming stood up half-naked, ordered the maid to come in, took the towel and wiped his face, came to the balcony, and looked at the sunrise in the east, his body shook slightly.

Just now, the extradimensional channel of the universe opened again, allowing him to receive a message from the Buddha-figure.

"I came to this world, not to make the world peaceful, but to let this earth raise swords!"

He muttered.

"Dear ......"

A lazy voice came from behind itself: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing, my beautiful housekeeper!"

Wu Ming turned around and looked at Amelia, this beautiful woman's face was slightly flushed, and there was a little radiant taste.

"Let's continue what we talked about last night...... Have you written your report and summary? ”

He put on his dressing gown made of silk and went to the hall next to him, where a steaming breakfast was already ready, and on top of the silver cutlery, thinly sliced steaks gave off an enticing taste, and beside them were white bread and butter, and boiled milk was steaming.

The rattan basket in the center of the table is also filled with freshly harvested berries, and the dew on it shimmers with a clear light. In the cruet on one side is a large amount of pepper, refined salt, and all kinds of precious spices.

"The business statistics for last month have come out, and from refined salt and glass, we have a harvest of 15,300 goldrons...... The specific transaction and tax situation is here! ”

Amelia held an account book and looked at Wu Ming at this time, with a trance in her eyes.

What a wonderful thing it would have been if this young man had been willing to marry her daughter.

As a steward, she knew that through the passage of these years, not only had the knight in front of her become a mature man, but also his wealth had accumulated to the point that even the gods would be jealous.

"In terms of population, the newly built town of Lvsen has been put into use, and the area has been specially divided for the workers of the salt works, glass factories and steel workshops, and the permanent population has reached tens of thousands, and the monthly floating population has remained at more than 3,000...... Most of them were merchants, wanderers, and the like from all over the world, and there was also a steady stream of wild people who came to take refuge, perhaps because they had also heard of the merciful name of their master! ”

The construction of a large number of workshops represented a huge demand for manpower and material resources, and Wu Ming treated these workers well, and deliberately sent people to spread them, especially ordering bards to make easy-to-understand tunes and pass through all directions, which attracted many free people and even serfs to come and look for opportunities to survive and even get rich.

Even, in the few territories bordering the Karos Domain, there have been cases of organized serfs fleeing here, and even the gallows cannot frighten them, for this reason, the lords of those territories have written to Wu Ming to complain many times.

"These are all small things, but the convergence of people will inevitably lead to public security problems, and I don't want my territory to become a battlefield, I hope my sheriff can manage these well!"

Wu Ming added.

In the Carros territory, punishment for crimes has always been known for its brutality, and even the regular army has stationed many people in the towns and cities to impeach.

Once a thief is caught, the only punishment is to be reduced to a slave, and to work in the quarry, salt works, or workshops as the most basic and humble laborer, and toiled to death for the rest of his life.

Gather crowds to fight, maliciously hurt people, and the gallows in front of the town are set up for them.

It is precisely because of the strict punishment and the pressure of the army that the security environment in the entire Karos Territory is barely good, otherwise it is really difficult to say what will happen.

"In fact...... Jo Ann often came to me to complain that he had too few young men! ”

Amelia smiled bitterly.

"You can tell him not to worry about this problem, because I am going to allocate a hundred poor grades from this recruit to join the security army."

Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"That's great...... Just ......"

Amelia glanced at Wu Ming cautiously: "Is it too much for our territory to maintain a regular army of five hundred people at all times?" ”

She is the one who knows the current strength of her territory.

The regular army numbered 500 men, but in reality those who toiled in the factories, salt works, and quarries were all strong adult males of the first class, and because of their long obedience to commands, they were highly organized and disciplined, and even participated in militia training on their days off.

As long as they encounter danger, they can equip them at will, and they are a terrifying army!

"Actually, even Lord Earl is quite worried about the strength of our Wallace family, and of course, he is also very dissatisfied with your delay several times and not going to Wuthering Castle for a knightly baptism!"

At this time, the feudal lord and the vassal have mutual rights and obligations, and it can be said that before Wu Ming made any mistakes, even if the Earl of Blue Mountain wanted to take care of the Karos Territory, he was a little powerless.

But Wu Ming smelled more from it.

"It seems...... It is our wealth that is too much for others to covet! Jindelong, who contributed in previous years, can't feed the monster of Blue Mountain! ”

He sighed and said slowly.

Ever since he had been working hard to develop his territory, he had known that there would be such a day.

After all, although knights were also part of the nobility, their power was still too low to suppress too much coveting of wealth.

"What does he want?"

After Wu Ming had eaten and drunk enough, he crossed his fingers and asked in a deep voice.

In a few years, not only did he grow to the age of twenty-five, but he also gained a wide range of knowledge and knew more.

For example, knight baptism can only be performed once, and no matter how much it is later, there will be no effect, and the assimilation effect of the upper-level bloodline will frantically repel other transcendent bloodlines.

With this premise, Wu Ming naturally declined the invitation of the knight baptism several times on the grounds that he wanted to continue to train himself to get a better promotion.

It was also quite cost-effective for the Earl of Blue Mountain at the beginning, at least he gained a knight's combat power, and also saved a holy oil.

But now he began to wonder if it was a sign of Sir William's disloyalty.

"He wants a lot, but he's also ready to give you something...... For example, if he marries a daughter to you, and you have to pay a dowry of 50,000 Jindelon, or the secret recipe for salt, sugar, and glass, which are the best selling goods in our territory! ”

Amelia whispered.

"Just one daughter, he wants to get so many things, doesn't he think his daughter is made of pure gold?"

Wu Ming sneered.

This Earl of the Blue Mountains was also an outlier among the nobility, known for his fertility, but most of his descendants were daughters, and the boys either died in infancy or became ill, and there were still seven or eight daughters who could not find a suitable husband.

"Watch your words, master!"

Amelia reminded in a straight tone: "After all, the Earl of Blue Mountain is your feudal lord, you are his vassal, and you have an obligation to him!" ”

"Yes! Obligation ......"

Wu Ming sighed, he has not yet overthrown the power of the entire aristocratic class, and even his wealth depends on the protection of this rule, so naturally he can only follow the rules of the game.

"Therefore, every year I send a hundred adult men to serve my feudal lord free of charge, and I also bear a part of his military expenses, so that my monarch can regain his armament, and even begin to prepare for war......

He shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Viscount Garcia is by no means a person who sits still, he will turn a blind eye to these provocations of the earl, you wait and see, the second lion and tiger battle is about to begin!" ”

Because the Earl of the Blue Mountains claimed to be the reincarnation of the Blue Tiger, and the Viscount Garcia came from the Xiongshi family in the Highlands, the nobles of the Wind Firefly Plains called their first war a battle between lions and tigers.

In the first battle of the lion and tiger, it ended with the defeat of the tiger, and a daughter was also taken for it.

But now, the Earl of Blue Mountain is clearly unwilling to accept his past defeat, and wants to regain his glory and establish his authority.

"Master, as a knight of the Earl, you will definitely be called up in war!"

Amelia reminded her master, "You can't get into trouble with the Count. ”

"I know...... This marriage, put it off for a while, and tell the earl, I want to think about it......"

Wu Ming thought quickly.

Compared with the previous times when he passively catered to the chaos of various worlds, this time the Lion and Tiger War, he can be regarded as the driving force behind the scenes.

It can be said that if it weren't for his farming, which greatly revitalized the economy in the Earldom of the Blue Mountains and restored the Earl's strength, he would not have raised the mind of recovering the field.

Of course, for the knights, war was the biggest gamble.

If you succeed, you may be able to canonize the baron and become a real noble family.

And in the event of failure, the former Knight of Carlos is the best example.

"This world, after all, can't escape war......"

Wu Ming sighed, to truly change the whole world, obtain a huge amount of Force, and accumulate food for the deity to break through the Golden Immortal, there is only this means!
