The ceremony lasted for a morning, and in addition to honoring the expedition members, Jason also announced some decisions for the future of the territory.

He felt that it was necessary to let his people know about these things, otherwise it would be easy for the townsfolk to resist if they were announced and implemented without warning.

After all, some decisions affect the interests of some people.

The main thing is that winter is about to begin, and the winter in the north is a bit long, starting from November every year until the end of February of the following year, and the north will be covered with snow and ice for a full five months.

If there is a little less grain harvested in a year, it is likely that it will not be enough for the inhabitants to survive the winter.

So Jason decided to build a granary in the town to prevent people from starving to death in the winter.

Then there is a large lake to the west of Iron Tooth Town, which is said to have a lot of fish, so he decided to investigate it after a while, and if the conditions are right, he may be able to make a big catch when the lake freezes!

In this way, the food source of the people was secured, but it affected the business of the merchants, who knew that every year the grain business in the north brought them a large amount of income.

That's why Jason issued this order in advance, to prevent merchants from hoarding a large amount of grain, maliciously raising food prices, and at the same time to avoid their losses.

If they are not satisfied, Jason has no choice, just ignore them, there is no perfect solution.

Jason had to think about his own interests first.

"It's miserable!" sighed some of the businessmen after the ceremony.

"Yes, I brought a large amount of grain from the south in advance, so I might lose money. ”

"It's all because we didn't inquire about the temperament of this new lord, otherwise there would have been some way to deal with it. ”

"I thought I could make a lot of money, but I didn't expect to catch the transportation fee. ”

"Do you think we can bribe the new lord?"

Some people have a crooked mind, because many nobles in the Lopez Kingdom are extremely greedy, which is one of the reasons why the kingdom began to decline.

"Hmph, have you forgotten the corpse that hung outside the city gate before?" the other sneered, and Jason's purge had frightened them.

"Okay, don't think about it, let's pull this grain to other territories and sell it, at least we can guarantee that we won't lose money this year. An older businessman finally said.

"It's all to blame on the Kyle family, this new lord is also blind, and the Kyle family can cooperate from time to ......time," another person complained that since the Kyle family came to the north to reach a cooperation with Jason, the caravan in this area had to reduce prices a lot.

This can cost them a lot of money.

"Shhhhhh

Discussing slander against the nobles on the streets, if discovered, is punishable.

"Let's go, I'll think about it, don't smash these grains in your hands is the most important thing. ”

"That's right, it's all gone!"

The group of merchants stopped talking and went back.

On the other side, Jason was wondering why he hadn't seen Gareth all the time when Eve squirmed.

"That, Lord Marquis. She was a little embarrassed, and her expression was tangled: "Where has Lord Gareth gone......?" There are some things I want to ask him. ”

"Ah, Gareth!" Jason didn't know, so he turned his gaze to Lancelot.

"Gareth went to the military factory. Lancelot replied, smiling at Eve.

"Hmm, what are you going to do in the arsenal?" Now it's Jason's turn to be curious, this guy should report to himself about the situation in Erbia first, right?

He heard that a master blacksmith had recently come to the military factory to take charge of this equipment, so he hurried over and asked if he could help him improve the equipment of the army in Erbia. Lancelot said helplessly.

It is true that Erbia's equipment is much worse than that of the regular army in Irontooth, and Erbia's army still wears iron-inlaid armor, even ordinary leather armor.

The infantry army in Irontooth is all equipped with half-body iron armor, and the archers are almost as equipped as Erbia, after all, these people don't have to come forward to fight hand-to-hand.

Recently, Jason and Lancelot have been buying a large amount of iron ore to build equipment and equip heavy infantry.

Now that Rodney is in charge of teaching the craftsmen the forging skills, the quality of the army's equipment is absolutely up to standard, and there is no problem with the heavy armor that he didn't dare to build before, as long as the gold coins can keep up, Jason is confident that he can build a heavy armor army in a year.

"What an acuteness. Jason spread his hands towards Eve, saying that it was Gareth who didn't come over without his own business.

"That's right. Her eyes darkened, but she didn't say anything.

"You don't think you're thinking about him, are you?" asked Jason, giving her a funny look.

"No way! How could I think of that guy!" Eve waved her hand at the moment, never admitting that she would miss Gareth.

She said that Gareth was the first person she met in the Iron Tooth Collar, so she cared, yes, it was a concern between friends!

But her flushed face was not convincing.

"Okay, but I'm on my way to the munitions factory, Miss Eve wants to come along. Jason invited with a smile, and said naturally by the way.

"By the way, meet that friend of yours. ”

"It's okay, I haven't seen me for so many days, but I have to ask if he has sent someone to inform my family. Eve's eyes fluttered, as if she didn't care about the answer.

Then Jason asked Alexis and Lorna for their opinions, and only after receiving an affirmative answer did he smile and say, "Haha, let's go then." ”

Alexis and Lorna are also curious about this military factory, which is responsible for the production of equipment for the entire territory, but there are no secrets to speak of, so it is not a hindrance to bring people in to have a look.

Now Jason has recruited more than a hundred blacksmiths from his territory, and Jason, who is outside Ironfang, has brought their family to town.

These people are well paid, because Jason wants to let the people know that as long as they have excellent skills, they can find a good job in the Iron Tooth Collar and their lives can be guaranteed.

In this way, Jason will not only gain prestige, but also better implement future policies.

But the biggest problem is that this military factory is really too expensive, and a large amount of ore is consumed every day, after all, not every piece of equipment can be qualified, and no matter how skilled the master is, there will be times when he makes mistakes.

When the group walked to the military factory, they happened to see Gareth who had just come out of it, and today the handsome young man did not wear his armor anymore, but wore a black robe, and the whole person looked much more cold.

"Your Excellency!" Gareth apparently also noticed Jason and the others who were walking over, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately saluted.

After that, he glanced at Lonat behind him without a trace, a very powerful aura.

As for Eve, who was squirming on the side, he was gorgeously ignored.
