3. Territorial crisis
"Young Master, are you going there? Why don't you take more breaks? ”
After walking out of the door, Li Jie heard a crisp voice in his ears.
"Well, Cher, why are you outside?"
"Young master, Xue'er just came over, lunch is ready, and she is about to call the young master to eat."
Li Jie followed Xue'er to the castle's dining room, where the old butler Fuber was directing his subordinates to serve food at the table.
"Young master, your health is better, the old slave has prepared your favorite cooked lamb." When Fauber saw Li Jie, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Li Jie sat alone on the big chair in front of the dining table, looking at the pile of meat in front of him. It's too extravagant, this is the life of the aristocracy! Looking at the housekeeper and Xue'er waiting at the table, Li Jie said.
"Fubo, Xue'er, sit down and eat together."
"Young master, this is absolutely unacceptable, we are subordinates." Fauber replied hurriedly.
For modern scumbags who grew up under the red flag and lived in the era of information explosion, there will not be such a distinction between dignity and inferiority in their eyes, and they just want to do whatever they want. Whether you are a high-ranking official, a rich businessman, or a poor beggar, as long as you have the right eyes, you are a friend, if you are not in the right eye, you are a dragon or a worm, and you are just a stranger in his eyes.
As soon as Li Jie came to this world and sorted out the memories of his original body, he knew that the old and young in front of him had grown up with him, and he would never do it right? One? Root? Read? Novel xstxt can't do their own thing.
"Fu Bo, you have always guarded me since I grew up, and in my heart you are my elder, so what about the reason why the younger generation eats and lets the elders stand and watch?" Li Jie said sincerely,
"Xue'er, in my heart, you are my sister, and you have accompanied me since I was a child. Sit down to eat, and it is natural for the elder brother to take care of the younger sister. ”
"After my father passed away, you were my only remaining family, and the family sat down to eat together, and there was no distinction between up and down."
After listening to Li Jie's words, Fu Bo and Xue'er's eyes were red, and Fu Bo sighed that the young master was finally sensible.
After the meal, Fu Bo brought wooden boxes one by one and put them in front of Li Jie.
"Young master, this is the Order of the Viscount, this is the territorial tax book, this is the lord's collection"
Seeing Fu Bo put things in front of him the same, Li Jie looked at Fu Bo suspiciously.
"Young master, after the old lord went, young master, you have been sad, the affairs of the territory are all taken care of by the old slave, and now it's time to return these things to the young master."
What kind of sadness, Li Jie clearly knows that Fu Bo is just taking care of his own face when he says this, and he knows very well what his former self was like. is a gentleman who has lived under the care of his parents since he was a child, and he can't do anything.
"Fu Bo, I worked hard for you some time ago, I really couldn't say it before, now I will take care of the territory, and the glory of the Wolf Warrior Family cannot be dissolved under me." For his future life, Li Jie, a modern person who has obtained a golden finger, answered with confidence.
Li Jie picked up the Viscount Medal,
"Drop, get the lord's token, and the territory situation is opened. Complete the quest 'Gain a Territory for the First Time' to reward the Territory Building Item 'City Wall', which will be automatically placed in the player's package. The electronic voice rang in my ears.
Li Jie clicked on the package and saw that there was a model of the city wall type in the package, a low-level city wall, a 3000m*3000m, five-meter-high, 4-person passage city wall can be built at the designated location.
Then open the system's territory status, which shows:
Population: 2,196; Popular Hearts: 30; Gold: 1910g; Grain: 200 stones; Strength: 8 swordsmen, 80 pikemen, 80 archers; Workshop: Blacksmith 2, Lumberyard 2., Quarry 3, Dockyard 1, Resources: Mithril Mine, Gold Mine, Iron Ore, Stone Mine, Timber.
The map has become very large, Li Jie looked at the map in the center of the western-style castle, the castle is surrounded by scattered buildings, there is an endless sea in the south, on the map you can also see all kinds of small fish and huge whales in the sea, there is a dock sitting alone on the sea. To the west is a large deep forest, to the east and north are rolling hills, with signs of various metal symbols, and on the east side there is a winding road that stretches far away, and you can see many castles of all kinds, and at the end of the road there is a very large castle, which seems to be the county town that the steward said. The rest is still black, waiting to be pioneered.
After Li Jie read the territory information, he had a general understanding. Then he turned his head and asked Fauber.
"Fauber, can you tell me about the latest situation in the territory?"
"Young master, the situation in the territory is not very good now, in the last time the barbarians invaded the territory, the old lord unfortunately died in battle, many of the panicked residents fled, and the residents who stayed behind were also very flustered, I don't know if the barbarians will come. Many of the craftsmen in the workshops have also fled, and the workshops in the territory are now basically suspended. ”
"Fauber, is the territory often harassed by barbarians?" Li Jie asked strangely.
"Young master, the barbarian tribes don't know how to farm, and every autumn during the grain harvest season, some tribes will go out of the mountains and exchange the hides and ores produced in the mountains for food, daily necessities and weapons. Some tribes will directly plunder various territories. And this time, it is a bit strange that the barbarian tribe suddenly came out of the mountains to plunder since it was ploughing in the spring spring. Fauber said puzzled.
"Fauber, is Mithril worth anything?" Li Jie asked again.
It seems that Li Jie, who has written a lot of novels, knows that Mithril is a strategic resource in the era of magic, but in the era of the decline of magic and the prevalence of vindictiveness, he still does not know its value.
"Mithril is too soft, basically useless, in recent years, the magicians of the Principality of Roland have been vigorously buying Mithril mines, so it is only worth it if it is transported to the Principality of Roland and sold to the magicians, and most of the magicians in the continent are in the Principality of Roland. And those gray rats hide in their magic towers every day, and they can't communicate with them at all. Fauber said,
Based on what Fu Bo said yesterday and what he said today, Li Jie, who was bombarded with information and knew Houheixue, knew that the barbarian invasion was simply instigated by someone behind the scenes, and someone should have taken a fancy to his family's territory, and it was not clear what he was trying to do. Alas! It's really a long way to go, internal and external troubles!
When Li Jie shouted in his heart, "The future is bright, the road is tortuous", "I am a little flower in the spring, lalala, the sun is shining on me" and other things to cheer himself up, he opened the personal package in the system, clicked to use the recruitment order, first increase the population, and the increase in the population of the territory can reduce the panic of the residents, after all, there are more people, and there is enough courage.
Then, Li Jie decided to sort out the current situation of the territory, and looked at the messy buildings on the map, it really hurt. This is a town, it's a slum. In fact, Li Jie didn't notice that after the war, his territory was basically a slum, and the rich and skilled all fled, leaving only those who were so poor that they only had one life left.
How big is 9 square kilometers? Li Jie, who has not actually surveyed it, is not very clear, and he has the impression that the Shacheng in China used to be 11,819.5 square kilometers, and 9 square kilometers is less than 1/10,000 of the area of Shacheng. Let's use it first, you can pretend to be a ghost to fool the panicked people, and improve the hearts of the people. Li Jie thought to himself.
"Fauber, call all the inhabitants of the territory to the front of the castle first, I have something to say to them."
"Okay, young master."
After a while, Fauber walked in.
"Young master, the residents have already arrived in front of the castle."
Li Jie walked out of the hall and came to the high platform in front of the castle, looking at the black head below, as an otaku, he had seen such a big formation there, and he suddenly felt dry and overwhelmed.
The crowd of black people in the audience stared at Li Jie on the stage with a pair of eyes, with doubts and expectations in their eyes.
