Chapter 500: The Opening of the House
Medirri's emotion ended there, after handing over several epic mages' space equipment and items that looked epic, she spread her magic wings and left directly from the sea.
The following things should not have been handled by her in the first place. This time, Xia He wanted to ensure that the things were in hand and see if he could analyze the origin of the other party. Otherwise, these will be directly appraised, converted into value, and stored in the treasury to become the resources of the Marquis's Palace.
Some things, if they have no collectible value, will be directly taken out and sold to make up for the loss of military spending.
Not to mention Medilly, now it's Smith, Yelena, and they're all starting to ask too much about the bottom of things. Don't look at them as young, but they are already dealing with relatively advanced affairs.
Xia He is eclectic, as long as he is a talent, he dares to use it.
For example, Golia, directly let her take charge of Sun City.
In the Marquis's Palace, there were too many such escrow positions, and as time went by, as long as they did not make mistakes, they would basically become regulars.
Back in the study, Medierli said to Xia Hedao: "Teacher, what are we doing here?"
Hearing Medirli's rare name, Xia He said strangely, "What happened?"
"There's nothing to do here, it's just a waste of time, and I want to go back to Cape Storm. β
Xia Hedao: "If you're free, just point out Smith." β
"Didn't we say that in two years, we would have enough manpower? Smith is different from what I did, and I want to go back to training the Knights. β
"Medirri, the Knights, is the power of the world after all. β
"Then I can only practice with my eyes closed, and I can't manage the affairs of these magicians. β
Xia He was helpless and said: "What is there to take care of in the Knights, this kind of thing is left to others to deal with, you should follow me to learn the sword." β
Seeing Medirli's unhappy appearance, Xia He had no choice but to say, "Then what are you going to do?" I plan to use troops against the Half-Elf Empire within two years. β
"Give me an army and train it my way. β
"Your way?"
"A knight that can tread everything, even without the aid of a magician. β
Xia Hexin said, isn't this a divine soldier, although he needs such an army, but let Medirli waste time......
No, it's not a waste of time, it seems that the iron-blooded battlefield is also her practice.
Thinking of this, Xia He said: "No, you are not suitable for designing the army, I will design the composition of the army for you, and you will be responsible for completing it, how about a year?"
"Good!" Medilli was tired of doing nothing, and was naturally happy to hear Xia He's words.
Not in the imperial capital, not going to the academy, Xia He returned to Rhode Island, and had a feeling that painting the land was king. After the White Sailing Incident, nothing like this happened. I can't find any clues about the things on those mages. However, Xia He has been attacked quite a few times, and it doesn't matter if he can't find it.
Just know that someone likes to secretly do something to him.
With a system, even if Xiahe doesn't care about anything, the territory can develop rapidly. He sat in Sun City, and developed more than military power, because he contacted the imperial capital, he bought a large amount of grain from some public granaries, transported it to Sun City by ship, and then transferred it to Wumian City.
Wumian City, the city he used for military training, is now winter, and there is some thin snow on the surrounding small plains, and it will not be able to start farming until April.
However, after the establishment of the granary system, people began to gather in the town built by Xiahe.
There are also many schools built on Rhode Island, and it costs money to send children to school, but poor Rhode Islanders find ways to send their children there. It's not a lot of money, and you can get it out by gritting your teeth. Children will have a future, and even if they can't become professionals, they will gain the skills to earn a living.
The lord said that no one who had not been trained in these schools would be allowed to work in his factory.
Not even farming.
This order is a bit overbearing, but the people of Rhode Island do not resist much, the children are sent to school, only once to teach money, but for several years of food and lodging, stay at home, such a small child, can not help the family to do much work.
It is said that the school opened by the marquis has very good food, and after eating those ingredients, it can improve people's physique, so that some people who were originally congenitally weak can also become professionals.
The people of Rhode Island naturally flock to it.
Because Xia He is their lord, they feel that there is no difference between sending the child to Xia He. That's the power of tradition. Doing things for the lord, there is no resistance in everyone's hearts. If you are an outsider, it is difficult to do this kind of thing.
You see that Xia He is in Stormwind Point, and if he wants to recruit people, if he doesn't choose people in Rhode Island, he won't find much in the entire empire.
Only those who do not have any background can be loyal to him.
The emperor gave Xia He a name, proving that he was a nobleman from Rhode Island, which was originally an inconspicuous thing. It's just that the emperor didn't expect that Xia He had a way to improve the physique of ordinary people. If you start dealing with it from a young child, you can even make every child a professional.
In the Shenzhou world, the number of professionals in this world is innumerable. The armies scattered in each world are all composed of professionals equivalent to this world.
For the Dao Palace, only cultivators are qualified to join the war.
Ordinary people, if they get a little toxin, they will lose their combat effectiveness, and if they don't eat for a day, their combat effectiveness will drop by half. And the professional, that is comparable to the existence of Warcraft.
The Marquis's Mansion began to show its minions, and the officials set up in the palace had broken away from the rules of the empire.
Ministers of the Army, Navy and Celestial Army, Prime Ministers, Ministers of Education, etc. The family badge of the marquis is also set up in five levels, and only the core personnel have it.
Blue-red, yellow-white-black, with decreasing colors.
However, the cyan badge is only owned by two students of Xia He, three of Freya, and the rest are black badges. This is still the first group of people who followed Xiahe, and they can only get it.
The rest of the people, if they want to get the badge with the Xia family pattern, they don't know how much credit they have to make.
Xia He set up a core knight order of 3,000 people on his own for Medirli to train. These 3,000-strong knights are a separate combat team, with just 3,000 core members and more than 10,000 auxiliary personnel.
This order is named directly after Medirri, and it is called the Knights of Medirli. This order even had a small fleet, seven warships. It is also equipped with a certain number of flying battleships.
Xia He did not give her the most elite troops at hand, but chose warriors and mages with training value.
Medirli practiced the Order day and night, and did not care about anything else. If Xia He wants to use troops against the half-elf empire, he will inevitably need an elite. Medirli's Knights are not responsible for storming, but only for field battles and support. One of the ironclads is capable of parking twenty-four flying warships on the deck.
As long as it swings along the coast, within an hour, it can strike at a range of 3,000 miles inland.
Xia He spends most of his time practicing, and all kinds of planning are done by Freya, and he will only interfere with the things of his own students. Because Taoist priests basically have a lot of personality, the same equipment is used differently in different hands.
Around the Sun City, the city walls began to stretch, more than a hundred miles in length.
Unlike the blood-red walls of CitΓ© Soleil, these walls are pitch-black in color and are made of the dregs produced during the refining of raw coal and black gold. These things don't cost money at all, and there are many empires, as long as you are willing to transport them, you will never need half a copper plate.
After this thing has been magically refined, its properties are very good, but no one will use a large number of magicians to do this. Especially if you use it to build a city wall, you need too much magic.
However, the magicians on Xiahe's side are all assessed, and by doing this kind of work, they can obtain some cultivation methods provided by the Marquis's Mansion. In fact, even for the sake of that trivial feat, the magicians are willing to do this coolie. Because of the rules of the Marquis's Palace, everyone understands a little.
It doesn't seem cost-effective to be a coolie, and these are the basic backgrounds when merit is evaluated in the future.
The walls are strong, the magic defense is very high, and it protects two important ports up and down, there are forts in the back, there are also places for flying warships to take off, as well as floating airships, various alchemy factories as the core of the town, and then the road passes through the mountains and enters the plain controlled by the city of five faces.
The five gods began to take turns to be stationed.
Cape Storm, the Underworld, and Rhode Island. Xia He passed a year in peace, and the Earl of Notting Hill finally gave in.
The Earl's family secretly escaped from his territory and went straight to Sun City.
Xia He met with the Earl in his mansion, and no one knew what the two of them said, but Xia He immediately took out the Earl's surrender document, and the Earl of Notting Hill volunteered to become a vassal of the Marquis of Asla.
From then on, Xia He's army could come and go freely in and out of the territory of the Earl of Notting Hill.
The strange thing is that this time on the side of the imperial capital, the House of Representatives acquiesced in Xia He's annexation of the Earl of Notting Hill without any criticism. The territory of the Earl of Notting Hill is still very barren, and the area of arable land is far less than that of Rhode Island. Although Xia He annexed an earldom, he was not very happy.
The Earl of Notting Hill is not rich, and he doesn't know who the person behind it is, so he is a bird.
The most infuriating thing is that Xia He still has to promise to protect him. This guy is a little shrewd, that is, if he stays in the territory, he is likely to be assassinated.
It's such a waste, wasting a lot of Xia He's money and bombing him with a flying battleship. If it weren't for the training of troops, this annexation would be at a loss.
However, it was finally a land within a radius of several hundred miles, and Xia He directly brought the sons of the Earl of Notting Hill under his command. The youngest of them was less than three years old, and the Earl of Notting Hill wrote a paperwork to determine the inheritance. This baby was left directly by Xia He and handed over to Xia He for training. 10
