"Why don't you just give up the Iron Tooth and take over Lucca?"

A few days later, when Villelet saw Jason off outside Lucca, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that with Lucca City as the foundation, Jason's power should be able to develop faster.

"Because no one else in this city is our own, except for Zola. ”

Jason squinted at the majestic city, it seemed that he had mastered the greatest power in Lucca, but in reality he was still weak.

Even the people in the army had quite a few haters who supported Zola rather than a rumored prince.

"Why? Haven't you already purged all the forces?"

Villette was a little incredulous, some time ago, the major nobles handed over their rights and interests, and there was a lot of uproar in Lucca City.

"On the surface, I only need to make sure that when I go around fighting in Lucca Province in the future, there will not be an army of thousands of men to encircle and suppress me. ”

Jason smiled and said that he only wanted to contact Zola when he came, and he didn't expect so many things to happen, but with Lucca City as the backing, the development of the Iron Tooth Collar will be even faster.

For example, after the beginning of spring, there will be an army to send thousands of slaves to the Iron Tooth.

"Now that you have military power, is it difficult for them to dare to oppose you?"

Villewlet continued to persuade that he felt that there was really no need for Jason to go back to that poor Iron Fang.

"I'm a fief nobleman, and if I don't develop my territory in my territory, I will be despised if I run around. Jason reluctantly said that this is the most important point.

As a lord who does not manage his own territory and disregards the living standards of his subjects, how can such a person support him?

That's why Jason was a little depressed.

However, it doesn't matter whether the title of Lord of the Iron Fang was imposed at that time or if he took it voluntarily, the important thing is that his own people are still there.

A benevolent monarch can be supported by the people.

"I see. ”

Wellett had to say in a low mood, but her good mental quality soon made her adjust her mood back.

She smiled and said, "When your Iron Tooth Town is built into a big city by you, I will move the residence of the Chamber of Commerce there. ”

The old butler of Bolton behind him was frightened by this sentence, and moved the station to Iron Tooth Town, isn't this just sending his own things out?

"Then it's decided, if you don't go, I'll come and tie you up myself. Jason replied with a smile.

"How dare you!" said Villette, wrinkling her nose.

"My lord, it's time for us to go. By this time the carriage and some of the supplies that Zola had prepared for Jason had been loaded, and Beowulf came over and said respectfully.

In addition to this, she sent a hundred soldiers to escort her.

"Then I'll go, and if I have any difficulties, I'll go to Zola or Lancelot. Jason nodded at Beowulf to indicate that he understood, and then turned to Willett.

Lancelot has not recovered from his injury until now, so in order to avoid the infection of the wound on the road from getting worse, Jason left him in Lucca City.

"I know, you be careful on the road. Reluctantly, Willett reached out and put her hand on Jason's face, and Jason grabbed her hand.

After a long time for the two to separate, Jason came to the front of the convoy and got on his horse.

"Let's go!"

....................................

There are only a few days left until the end of the year, and although there is no such thing as a New Year in this world, on the last day of the year, the residents will prepare a table of good food and food, and then pray to God that there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

This year, the climate in the north is relatively good, with only two heavy snowfalls, and no snow disasters, which can be regarded as reducing the pressure on Jason's territory.

"I don't feel like I have been back for two months, and this Erbia has changed a lot. ”

Jason looked at the snow-free gravel road leading to the town of Erbia, which was still a flat dirt road when he left.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and several horsemen galloped towards them, led by Gareth.

Jason was spotted by the scouts of Irbia before he could even get close to Erbia.

"Welcome home, my lord. ”

Gareth came to Jason's front and rolled over and dismounted, saying respectfully.

"Yes, it's still comfortable to stay in your own territory, and it's much more comfortable to breathe. Jason said with a slight exaggeration, but he was really happy in his heart.

It's like his roots in this world.

"This is Beowulf, this is Gareth, and you will be colleagues from now on. Jason immediately pointed to Beowulf beside him and introduced them to each other.

"I've seen adults. The two said in unison, and then couldn't help but smile at each other.

Speaking of which, both of them are from England, but the times are different.

"We talked as we walked. ”

Jason said to Gareth that there were more than a hundred soldiers behind him, who had been on the trek for nearly a month, and that they needed to get some rest.

"What's going on this road?" asked Jason.

"Because of the casino, there has been a lot of traffic in Erbia recently, and in order to facilitate their transportation, I took it upon myself to repair this road. Gareth replied.

"Speaking of casinos, what's the recent revenue?"

Jason was a little nervous, after all, the traffic here in Iron Tooth Town is relatively inconvenient, and no one may be willing to rush to Erbia to come to the casino.

"The business of the casino is not bad, and there is an income of more than 2,000 gold coins every month, but the nobles are relatively rare, and the Viscount of Lyon occasionally brings friends over for entertainment, and the other guests are basically some merchants and some ordinary mercenaries. Gareth had some regrets.

"But the good news is that casinos are also driving the market. ”

"Mercenary, what mercenary?" Jason was a little puzzled, the mercenary profession was more common in the Sixteen-Nation Alliance, after all, there were often wars over there.

"Some small chambers of commerce can't afford to raise guards, so they will hire some people with a bit of martial arts to serve as guards temporarily, and gradually the mercenary profession appeared in Erbia. Gareth replied.

"Will these people have any impact on the security of the town?" Jason asked, this kind of people are all swordsmen who lick blood with knives, and it should be difficult to manage.

"At the beginning, there were indeed people making trouble, so we sent people to meddle in this industry and set up a mercenary club to manage them in a unified manner, and their mercenary level was uniformly assessed by us, which represents their credibility, strength, etc. ”

Gareth had a good calculation, and it was like asking these chambers of commerce to help them raise a group of soldiers who were not very disciplined.

When you use it, you only need simple training to form combat power, and it also solves the problem of mercenaries making trouble.

"Good job. Jason looked at him in amazement, why didn't he think of this electron?

Sure enough, Gareth was one of the twelve best Knights of the Round Table at the time.

"Actually, I didn't expect it to develop to this extent, these are some accidents. ”

Now Gareth was a little embarrassed when it was his turn, and he really didn't think about it that much at first.
