Patrolling the fertile but barren plains, Yang Jiangong set the site for the construction of the town of Lol Cardan on the side of the Rapids River.

The Riptide River is a river that crosses the plain, dividing the border plain into two from the middle.

Yang Jiangong had some knowledge in his mind: a prerequisite for a territory to become rich, it is best to have a port.

"This rapids river is wide and deep enough to open up an artificial waterway to connect the upstream and downstream areas in the future, and develop into a canal."

The above is Yang Jiangong's original idea of choosing this geographical location.

It will take a long time to manage a territory with care.

Three months later.

When the basic buildings such as the town dwelling of Lol Cardin were completed, the town lord's residence was officially completed.

Counting upwards from the first floor, each floor is decorated with horizontally divided multi-layered corners, and the top is crowned with a heavy cornice with a small amount of simple carving. Looking up, on the lighted side of the building, the windows are neatly arranged, with stone frames at the edges, and the tops are decorated with circular patterns that mimic the rays of the sun.

As a whole, you can see that the roof of the building is high, and the lower part of the wall is made of dark wainscoting, and the upper part is plastered.

It is stronger than any other building in the town, and is made of stone of different textures in layers.

From now on, this lord's residence is the only three-storey square building in the town of Lolcadin.

Step inside the newly completed Lord's Residence.

The hall, which was the center of the lord's life, was a huge rectangular room, austere and dignified.

On weekdays, the lord can eat and drink here, as well as conduct daily affairs here.

"Dear Lord Lorkadan, more than three months of hard work have not been in vain. Building a guild not only completes the infrastructure for your town, but also builds you a fully functional and solemn lord's residence. ”

Moore King, a guild merchant from the Construction Guild, was dressed very well. The striped tunic popular among the nobility and the upper class was draped over a black round cloak, which was fastened to the chest.

"Moore King, you're an architect from the Building Guild, and I appreciate your design. Including your craftsmen and slaves, they are also highly skilled. ”

Yang Jiangong stretched out his hand and took the contract in the other party's hand. At the same time, he glanced at the gold coin number on the contract, and then took out the dragon medallion, stamped it with a striking red mark, and then put the badge away again.

"Well, according to the above, the town of Lol Cardin owes a total of 50,000 gold coins. But according to the seal on this deed, the fee will be repaid by the town of Lol Cardin within ten years. ”

Just like the knowledge that Yang Jiangong has mastered, to this day, not only the town of Lorkadan, but even the completion of every official building in the Kingdom of Camelot and even the Five Kingdoms is inseparable from the construction guild.

Speaking of the guild system of the five kingdoms of mankind, it has its own relatively strict and detailed regulations. In particular, large guilds such as the Construction Guild strictly guaranteed the equal rights and obligations of members of all classes internally, and implemented a monopoly system with no other semicolon externally.

The monopoly system worsened the distribution of wealth, and many guild merchants made a lot of money.

In this form, gold coins became the only standard for the guild merchants to perform professionalism, as long as you had sufficient financial resources. The towering and magnificent cathedral, the solemn and majestic lord's residence, the sturdy and thick watchtowers and city gates, and even the ancient style of the high platform and the palace are not dreams.

Yang Jiangong's style of doing things tends to use logical thinking, from the point where things are revealed, to peek at the whole of it.

In this newly completed official residence, it is not difficult to find that the art of building guilds has reached a state of near-perfection.

In fact, with the exception of the rarer profession of architect, the common production professions such as baker, foundry, hardware, tanner, swordsmith, etc., served the guilds. In addition to the construction of guilds, various skill guilds appeared, such as clothing and textile technology, liquor brewing technology, precious metal engraving and casting technology, and iron refining.

It is well known that the guilds of each kingdom had to pay large taxes to the king every year in order to ensure their monopoly status.

Some large guilds even use guò bribes and taxes to give themselves relatively independent internal jurisdiction and protect the army to solve various problems encountered in business.

At the same time, the great guilds were to fulfill the obligation that when the kingdom or the territory in which a branch was stationed was to go to war, the guilds were to contribute to the battle as a separate army or squad, and in terms of warfare, they had their own weapons and commanders.

To sum up, no nobleman with a territory would be willing to offend a powerful guild like the Construction Guild, unless the noble lord's brain seeped water.

Needless to say, even Yang Jiangong hopes that when Lol Cardin becomes a city in the future, a large number of guilds will come to station.

Later, Yang Jiangong returned the land in his hand to the merchant Moore King from the Construction Guild, and showed a more symbolic friendly smile, "A big guild like the Construction Guild, and an outstanding architect like you, deserve the respect of every nobleman." This contract will take effect immediately, and the people of Lorkadin will pay this arrears on time! ”

The contract fell into the hands of the guild merchant Morkin, and Yang Jiangong was quickly praised by the other party.

"Honorable lord of the town of Lol Cardin, the people of Lol Cardan are descendants of the ancient and purest empire. In the eyes of the Builder Guild, you are also an elegant and noble lord! We have great confidence in your credibility. ”

Morkin bowed slightly before leaving the Lord's Hall.

The reason why the Guild of Construction was not afraid that the Lol Cardan would be repaid was because the town had a population of nearly 10,000 as collateral. They had already stated in the deed of arrears that if they did not repay the money by the time due, the 8,000 Lorkadan civilians would be slaved and sold by the Guild of Construction.

Stand alone in the empty hall of the lord.

In front of Yang Jiangong, the more conspicuous utensils in the hall are the mirrors presented by the architect Moorekin. A slightly raised metal disk, a piece of copper, has a highly polished surface with a mirrored surface that reflects light, set in a rectangular frame of beautifully carved wood.

The Count of Loel Cardin, who appeared in the mirror, had his hair growing longer, and compared to the young man who was still ignorant of the world a few months ago, he already showed the pride of a lord.

Agriculture and animal husbandry are the basis for the development of a territory.

The soil on the banks of the Riptide River is fertile, and the annual labor income of 10,000 people can harvest 10,000 gold coins every year, excluding normal consumption. So 50,000 gold coins in ten years doesn't sound like much pressure. To revitalize a town, Yang Jiangong has enough patience.

……………………

For the past three months, Yang Jiangong's main pastime has been to spend his days buried in a thick pile of books collected from the Lol Cardans. In addition to the description of the world, it also records the etiquette and behavior of the nobles on various occasions.

Yang Jiangong spends time every day reading the pages of these books, which have turned yellowed with years.

Parenting this thing sounds very mysterious, but also very real. It is usually reflected in elegant conversation, civilized manners, and courtesy towards subjects.

Don't think that in a hierarchical feudal society, only nobles are civilized and polite among themselves.

In this world, nobles and commoners, guild merchants and even coolies, although their identities are not equal, but they are all equal in personality as the same race.

According to Yang Jiangong's understanding, that is, "every social class should have its own bottom line of dignity." ”

Another point that made him realize that "the world is very tired of talking." As a person with status, if you want to be respected by others, you can't just open your mouth and say some big vernacular. Fortunately, after three months of adaptation, Yang Jiangong has gradually adapted to these habits.

consulted a lot of ancient books, and also let Yang Jiangong know the meaning of the Longteng badge.

"Imagine that the Grand Duke of Camelot is greedy, and even an idiot can guess how extraordinary this badge is."

The Longteng badge was once a token of the emperors of the Lol Cardan Empire, just like the jade seal of ancient China.

The only difference is that the heirloom jade seal is a stone, but this piece of wood contains the power of a contract from the Great Glory Space. Yang Jiangong guessed that this badge was most likely an item that belonged to the Great Glory Space.

During the years when the Lordkadan Empire stood in this world, countless human knights swore an oath to this badge that they and their descendants would be loyal forever. For them, breaking the oath of their ancestors would be tantamount to betraying their own bloodline, and the consequences would be very dire. 】

In Yang Jiangong's understanding, after the collapse of the Lorkadin Empire, knights can no longer be loyal to a dying empire. But as long as this badge remains, it should show humility and awe.

Because the power of the contract in this badge will never dissipate, as long as the Lorkadan Empire can be restored, this dragon badge can still command all ancient knight families.

Nightmare's description of the Dragon's Emblem is detailed.

[This badge contains a powerful contract power.] In other words, if you can harness the power of this powerful contract, you can make the original oath-takers fulfill the oath of their ancestors. Those who refuse to fulfill the covenant mean that they have betrayed the oath of their ancestors, they have betrayed their bloodline, and not only will they be deprived of the function of procreation, but their existing offspring will all die at dawn the next day. 】

It's a terrible and effective contract, isn't it?

"So what is the way to master the power of this contract?"

As Yang Jiangong asked, Wei replied yes. [This badge is an item from the Great Glory Space.] According to its setting, as long as it can rebuild Silvertop City. You can recover the Lol Cardin Empire and reactivate the power of the contract in this badge. 】

Rebuild Silverdome? Judging from the fact that it takes 50,000 gold coins to complete the infrastructure of a town.

The task of rebuilding a city on the ice sheet is daunting, but it is not impossible to persevere.

What's more, Yang Jiangong already knew that if he wanted to collect seven crystal balls of true knowledge scattered all over the mainland, this task would be much more difficult and difficult than recovering the Lol Cardin Empire.
