Chapter 166: Arrangement
After the unexpected plundering of the new town, Lyon once again concentrated the population.
The idle townsfolk were all resettled nearby, and in the entire territory, only a few areas remained, Ravenwood, Wharf, Ore, Newtown, and Orkney, and the rest of the villages were all relocated.
The surrounding robbers have been eliminated and seem to be safe, but in fact, the robbers come out to plunder not to see the distance but to see the benefits.
It was entirely possible that they would cross the other realms and make their way to Ravenwood, no one knew about that, and Leon had to do this to avoid it.
There were not many regular soldiers, which was determined by the total population, and Leon asked the heads of Newtown and Orkney to form a militia, which would train in their spare time on weekdays, at least to be confident in the event of a robber.
In addition, Mormont joins Ravenwood.
After a day of visiting, he developed a strong interest in the place, and at the same time an uncontrollable emotion in his heart, Ravenwood was a worthy place for him to play.
At his request, Lyon accepted his allegiance.
"You're actually a Knight of the West. Hauer looked surprised.
"It's been many years ago, and I can't compare to you young people. "Mormont is very happy to be a part of this place, as for this knighthood, it is just a name, and it is true to make achievements.
York and Hall were the lowest knights, canonized by the viscounts, but one of them was the chief knight and the other was the commander of the cavalry, and they were higher in rank than Mormont.
Leon flipped through the scroll, and it was a record of what was going to happen next.
"The stone fort is too small now, should we rebuild it on the ground or find another piece of land?" he couldn't decide.
"Another piece of land, of course. "Everyone agrees that this stone fort is enough for a thousand people in a town, and it is still not enough to rebuild.
"I suggest that it's just across the square, that area will be demolished soon. Chris said that he was in charge of the renovation of the town, and the buildings on the opposite side were no longer up to standard, and they would all be demolished in the next time, and the original intention was to build a garden, but now it has to be used to build a castle, and then the land under his feet will be converted into a garden.
"That's how it was planned. Leon lifted his pen and sketched on it, indicating that the problem had been solved.
The second big thing is that a number of new houses are being built in the town.
"So it's our turn?" said Hauer's face was delighted.
The houses in the town were given priority to the townspeople, Chris still living in other people's homes, and Hall returned to the town in a room with York.
"Yes, you can choose for yourself. "Lyon was also forced to do so at the beginning, and many of the townspeople did not have a shelter from the wind and rain, so the house was naturally given to them first.
Mormont asked softly beside him, "What house to choose?"
"It's that you go to that street to see, and if you like that one, you can quickly settle down, and the lord has given us priority, we can choose first, and the rest will be left to others. Hauer also lowered his voice, afraid of being heard.
"But I don't have enough money to pay. "Mormont couldn't even drink a cheap beer when he was in Pinewood, and he didn't have the money to buy a house.
"You don't have to pay money, just pay your taxes from the second month, otherwise you think the people in the town are rich." Hauer knew that he had just arrived, and he was not familiar with the situation here, and that there was no need to spend money to buy a house, but he had to pay a housing tax, which was basically nothing compared to wages.
Mormont was shocked again.
Mark this as a solution to it.
"And one last thing, spring hunting. "Lyon received an invitation from the Guardian of the North in the morning, it was a hunting event.
"You can take up to six knights. Leon thought for a moment, the Guardian of the North is the most powerful person in the North, and his hunting activities must be participated, but the town is currently short of people, and it is impossible to take all the knights away.
"Then York, Hall, and Mormont, and the three of you will go with me. "Leon took his proudest knight out.
"My lord, I'm not going, the cavalry still needs to be trained. Hauer refused, the spring hunt was three days, and the road was a few days to go back and forth, so how much time would be wasted.
Leon felt that it made sense: "Then go to another person." ”
"You should take Miss Emma with you, she can help Ravenwood get a good result. Hall glanced at York, a smug smile on his face.
"It's just a hunt, is it necessary?" Leon hesitated, he didn't think that relying on the witch's power to achieve results would lose the fun.
Hunting is a pastime among the nobility, and if you use Emma's enchanted arrows, you will definitely get the first place in the competition, which is too utilitarian and has little entertainment.
Since it's a spring hunt, I hope to have a good start to the new year, as long as I have fun.
"Lord Lord, you only have three people to go, and the rest of the lords are six, of course you have fun, but can you still be happy to be the last one? Hauer stuck to his ideas.
Lyon is still thinking about it.
"York, as the chief knight, don't you say a word?" Haul tossed the topic to York, who was silent.
"I, well, can do it. York hesitated for a long time, equivalent to saying nothing.
Hauer looked incredulous, he worked so hard to get this?
"Okay, then take Emma with you. "Leon didn't think it would be a problem to bring more people.
They will be away from the town for a while, and arrangements will need to be made in the town.
Several major decisions have been arranged, the rest of the small things will be taken care of by Chris, and the military side Hauer will be able to deal with it, and everything seems to be fine.
"Lord Lord, there is one more thing, this time the spring hunt Fury will also go, you can find an opportunity to talk to him about opening up a trade route. Chris reminds that this is important for the town, and that the sooner new trade routes are developed, there is one more way out, and there is no need to focus everything on water transport.
"Well, you did remind me, now we'll draw up a plan, and talk to him directly when the time comes. "There are still a few days left to go to El Split City, so there is absolutely time to prepare in advance.
Mormont stood aside, silent.
On the one hand, he has a prejudice against Fury, and it is a wrong choice to cooperate with business, and Ravenwood may suffer when the time comes.
On the other hand, the lord and Chris knew Fury's character, but continued to choose to cooperate with him, which was not a random decision, they were confident enough to do so, and as knights, they should support the lord's approach.
"Mormont, let's go first. "Hauer has nothing to do here, and all he's thinking about is the house.
Mormont saluted and followed Hauer out of the Executive Hall.
