Duke's cottage project was in full swing, and while waiting for the initial preparations to be completed, Duke also took the time to read the castle construction drawing.

In fact, in serious terms, the castles of the European Middle Ages, from the perspective of engineering and architecture, have surpassed the defensive capabilities of the ancient Chinese city walls. In particular, the Crown Multi-Angular Fortress was born, which perfectly replaced the towers, and at the same time, the blind spots were almost reduced to none, and the defenders could use crossfire to multi-strike.

If you simply talk about the main fortress of Storm Castle, it is really difficult to conquer it, even if it is a powerful and evil creature like the Ice Demon. But now the problem is that the scale of castles in Europe, compared with the area of ancient Chinese cities, cannot be described as small, it is simply sesame seeds and watermelons.

Ancient Chinese cities were the "cities" that really undertook the lives of the common people, and in the same period in the Song Dynasty, such as Kaifeng and Lin'an, were super cities where hundreds of thousands or even millions of people lived. The medieval lord's fortress could only be used as a small part of the wartime aristocracy, and could not shelter the common people or anything.

Storm Castle is considered a military town, and it is almost this problem, the fortress defense is very strong, but the walls that really protect all the inhabitants are average. If the real monster invades and breaks through the city, the people's army is dead, and Duke will become the commander of the light pole if he does not die. and will be questioned by Henry VII, which is also the consequence of his own flamboyant tongue to fool the emperor at the beginning.

But if you want to build a big city in a short time, in this era without construction machinery, it is simply a dream. This is also something that Duke has been having a headache for several days, even if the porcelain is successful and rich, he may not be able to guard the fruits of victory. What Duke lacks most now is time, if he can give him a year's delay, he will have a way to get the reinforced concrete out, because Duke's major in his last life was civil engineering!

Forget it, it is still unrealistic to build a high city, only in this short period of one month, try to strengthen the existing city wall, and the rest depends on the will of God!

While thinking about it, Duke instructed Alan to recruit peasants in the city to strengthen the city walls, and everyone could be paid three silver coins a month as long as they worked, which was equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary resident's family.

And this has the added advantage of the fact that a large number of farmers from the surrounding areas have poured into the cities, and the rapid rise in prices has also caused them to live in difficulty. This kind of cash-for-work method can not only relieve the pressure on farmers' lives, but also reduce the possibility of troubles among the idle and displaced people in the city.

However, there is still a problem with this, that is, the financial balance of more than 1,000 gold coins in Storm Castle can't afford to spend so much at all. Duke even took out all his own private money, but he still couldn't fill the hole, and it was still unknown whether the porcelain would succeed, but Stormcastle's finances were about to collapse.

Dog, if I find the grandson of the previous lord, I won't let him understand why the flowers are so red, and I will be considered a wave of waste!

Just when Duke was itching with hatred, he saw Princess Guina's knight chief Adams guarding the castle gates. Of course, he didn't want to find Adams for anything, but planned to find Gina to get some money to save the emergency, and he was also a royal princess, so he wouldn't be poor!

Thinking of this, Duke was thick-skinned anyway, and walked directly to the main hall where Princess Gina lived. Duke was still familiar with the structure of the castle's main hall, after all, this was his former residence.

There was no figure of Princess Ji Na in the living room of the main hall, and it seemed that she was resting in the bedroom, so Duke didn't think much about it, and walked directly through the front hall in the direction of the bedroom.

The door to the bedroom was not closed, Duke stood at the door of the bedroom, and just as he was about to call Princess Gena, he saw that Princess Gena was only wearing a medieval corset at the moment, and only a pair of white shorts on her lower body, and a pair of smooth and white long legs, all of which were exposed to Duke's eyes.

Maybe she sensed something, Princess Gina also turned to look in the direction of the door at this time, and when she saw Duke standing at the door with a pig brother's surprised expression, she stood in place in a daze, forgetting even the basic cover-up.

Although Princess Gina is only fourteen years old, girls in this world are generally precocious, and the iconic corset of the Middle Ages also outlines the shape of her upper body, and her chest is white. Usually wrapped in thick winter court clothes or armor, Duke really didn't find that Princess Gina was so well developed, much stronger than a junior high school girl on earth.

"Ah~~~!" a scream came out, shattering Duke's reverie and making him realize that he was appreciating something he shouldn't have seen.

"I don't see anything, your Royal Highness, you continue. ”

Duke quickly responded, then flashed behind the door. It's troublesome, I'm looking for this little girl to borrow money, if she doesn't borrow it because of this reason, then it's really wronged!

Just when Duke felt the pain of the tangled egg, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and Princess Gina appeared in the door wearing only a long robe, wearing a brown hair, and at the same time put the long sword on Duke's neck.

"Trespassing into the dormitory and insulting the royal princess is a capital offense!"

Seeing the angry Princess Gina and the chill coming from the long sword around her neck, Duke just explained with an embarrassed wry smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I really didn't mean to, you didn't close the door!

"But you still see it, I'm going to pronounce your guilt!" Princess Gina said as she spoke, her face became redder, and even her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

This shaking made Duke desperately stick to the wall, for fear that if Ji Na's hand slipped, he would die with a whimper. Because medical technology in this era is not like modern times, a random wound infection can kill people.

"Princess Jina, if you insist on convicting me of a crime, it's not impossible, but if you think about the current situation in Storm Castle, the invasion of evil creatures is imminent, is it the royal princess who cares about the lives of tens of thousands of people for this kind of thing?"

Duke's face was full of sacredness, and his tone was sonorous and powerful, which was simply righteous!

Originally, Princess Jina was full of anger in her heart, but when she heard Duke's words, she suddenly didn't know what to do. Although he knew that this guy was quibbling, what he said was also the truth.

"Princess Gina, for the sake of the tens of thousands of people of Storm Castle, I beg you to give me a chance to make amends. ”

Duke hurriedly said while the iron was hot, and by the way, he also gave Princess Gina a step down, many times there was a pointless stalemate, just because there were no steps.

Sure enough, hearing Duke say this, Ji Na took away the long sword with hatred, and she couldn't express her expression in anger. Seeing this situation, Duke felt a little proud in his heart, the teenage girl fought with me, and the online keyboard warrior who occupied the moral high ground had you heard of it?

"By the way, Princess Jina, in fact, I came here this time for a serious matter, a matter related to the survival of tens of thousands of people in Storm Castle!"

"Something. Gina replied angrily, judging from the fact that she was willing to take the initiative to come to the edge of Storm Castle as a princess, she could still see that she was very responsible.

"Hehe, lend me some money. ”

Duke gave a rare shy smile......
