On the way back, everyone seemed distracted.

Milton walked ahead alone with his horse on his back, and he didn't care about it at all! The big bald head kept looking ahead blankly, obviously in a violent conflict in his mind.

The three people who followed on horseback exchanged glances with each other, and none of them said "let the horse be ridden by the leader", and at first glance they were all waste firewood with no future.

Shen Yan leisurely looked around and continued to conduct an environmental assessment for the surroundings of his residence; Omar focused on Milton, as if fearing that he would not be able to think about it; Catherine, on the other hand, looked at Shen Yan and Ozmat from time to time with suspicious eyes, obviously she had not been deceived.

"It's fake!" Catherine finally couldn't help but lean next to Shen Yan and asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Shen Yan nodded honestly.

"You even admit it?!" Catherine was so shocked that even Milton glanced back, and it was evident that the big bald head and ears were very good, and they heard it. However, Milton didn't have a strange expression at all, and it was obvious that he had figured it out along the way.

"The way I came up with it, the scroll I wrote, the bear that Omar was looking for." Shen Yan directly told the whole truth - although the process was referenced, it was not actually Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's routine of "collecting books in the belly of the fish". That kind of routine is to fool the masses into revolting with him, and the more people see the silk book taken out of the belly of the fish, the more it can prove the destiny of heaven - Shen Yan's routine is to fool the big bald head, so as long as a few people inside see it, it doesn't need to be so big.

Now that Shen Yan has made a move, the question has shifted to Milton's side! Do you have any ambition in mind? Do you want to be the king of Penryn?

Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life, or are you going to be a hero? Even if it's just for a few minutes!

Tell us!

Catherine looked at Shen Yan, and then at Milton, who continued to be silent, and suddenly understood-it turned out that this was a tacit understanding between men! They actually understood the meaning of the scroll the moment they got it! Only I am still stupid to think about this and that.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, Milton stopped, he held the scroll, and asked Shen Yan solemnly, "Can I keep this scroll?" ”

"Of course, destiny is yours, and that's yours." Shen Yan replied equally solemnly.

"Penrien, I don't know if it's mine, but Green Horn ...... I want it! ”

The big bald head finally said a little domineering.

****

Everyone in Green Horn had the feeling that Milton had changed...... But I can't say where has changed. He is still as approachable as ever, amiable to everyone, and willing to listen to everyone's complaints; As before, he inspected the walls, surveyed the land, and took the lead.

But he did change.

Milton began to carry a small notebook with him, and when he asked for someone's name, he would write it down carefully—though he honestly told them that it was because he had a bad brain and could not remember names...... But the other party will still be moved to tears!

Milton also made his martial arts legacy public. He said that he was an open box, and anyone could come and take it at will, and he would have no reservations. As the highest-ranking person in the entire Green Horn Bay, his promise is worth a thousand catties! Even the two half-elf archers were tempted, not to mention those who had been dangling at level 4 or 5 all their lives, and the number of Green Horn Bay Great Sword practitioners had skyrocketed for a while......

It was a snowy winter, and Green Horn was moving again, but this time it was the internal structure that moved.

First of all, Milton formally formed the Green Horn Guard, recruiting veterans of the old legion, cavalry, and veteran adventurers collected on the way, and handed them over to Catherine for unified training and management. Catherine's teaching was taken over by the half-elf archer Amagir.

The Green Horn Guard was responsible for defending and clearing the entire area, leaving the village's own defenses to the Village Guard - unrealised by most people, this meant that Milton had put the entire area of Green Horn under his name, rather than just the village.

The Village Guard is formed spontaneously by the villagers, not professional soldiers, and is trained and managed by Garland, one of the elven archers.

Then there was the intensive education of the children, which was officially named "The School", and in order to nurture the future talents of Green Horn, Milton was personally in charge, and he left most of his time to the children.

Finally, Milton appointed the old village chief, Vader, as the head of the former camp, now renamed "Crescent Village", and was in charge of all aspects of the village's management and construction. This was unexpected by many people - first of all, most people thought that Milton was the best candidate for the village head, and secondly, everyone knew about the conflict between Vader and Shen Yan, and at this time, Milton actually appointed Vader as the head of the only village......

At this time, most people don't realize that Crescent Village is only the first village, but it does not mean that Green Horn Bay is the only one village. Nowadays, there are three supernumerary buildings outside the village: the Crescent Lake Fishing Port, the Sage Wooden House and the Cape Outpost, but they are still inconspicuous.

Milton left himself only two positions: one as "captain of the guard" and the other as "headmaster of the school".

The villagers talked about it, but only the Big Four could see it clearly, because this was what they planned - after such a plan, the entire Green Horn Bay force has actually been divided into two layers. The first floor is a core layer made up of the Guard, the Big Four, and the School; The second layer is the village layer, and the Crescent Village, Crescent Lake Fishing Port, etc. are just one of them.

Milton looks like he has been cut from power on the surface, but in fact he just leaves the tedious work to Vader and others. He holds the power of the army in one hand and the future in the other, and is both a leader and a principal...... If you put the title of "lord" on his head, everyone will understand in an instant!

In addition to the fact that taxes have not yet begun, this is the adjusted two-tier structure of "lord-lord".

Milton didn't go directly to manage the village because Shen Yan laughed at him and said, "You are satisfied with a village?" From now on, you should learn how to manage countless villages, instead of focusing on one village. Milton was awe-inspiringly taught, and he returned to Shen Yan to follow what he said, deepening his understanding in the execution.

Shen Yan calculated an account for Milton, giving Milton an extremely clear understanding of the output of the village's level - and then no longer had any expectations.

It turned out that he had no idea that if Green Horn relied only on the land, the limit of its wealth would be one hundred and seventy-four gold coins per year (the kind that exploited everyone to the point of not eating or drinking)...... It's less than a quarter of the value of an elemental crystal, and one-thirtieth of the armor on the tiger's body!

Terrible, right...... There are even more terrifying!

Green Horn relied on the accumulation of land wealth alone, and it would take thirty years to afford a merchant ship capable of sailing offshore. However, the premise of wealth accumulation is that Green Horn Bay needs a merchant ship to sell the grain produced. Moreover, the price of food must be kept at a high level during the preparation period for war, and there is no need for money to maintain the ships...... This paradox means that, in fact, the accumulation of agriculture in Green Horn Bay alone can never afford to buy a boat!
