I have to say that Sir Wright is indeed a business wizard, in this short period of three years, Harrence City relied on the trading area of Gerson Town, and the port trade controlled by Baran City, allowing Gray to earn a lot of wealth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the problem of trade union organization in the city has not been completely solved, but as far as Harrrens is concerned, most of their union organization is in Gray's own hands.

However, some of the resources were still in the hands of the old man named Barron, but this had nothing to do with the overall situation, and Gray didn't pay much attention to it, just reminded the security department to keep a close watch.

In the following year, Gray's first son was born, named Leo Lockton, and according to the agreement, he was carried to the city of Herien at the time of the full moon, and was called Master Lockton, who had only been appointed by the Earl of Lockton as the first-order heir to the Herion Lords just over a hundred days.

Because of Gray's centralized rule, after several years of development, the Harrance Territory is no less powerful than an old lord such as Count Lockton, and his orders can reach every corner of the Harrence Territory.

But the foundation is still insufficient, because the rule of the Earl of Lockton relies on the prestige accumulated by the Lockton family for hundreds of years, while Gray's rule is more like centralized oppression.

Although the common people were welcome to such a rule, as they found themselves earning more each year, the other traditional nobles who were hiding in the shadows were always looking for an opportunity to overthrow Gray's rule.

But that doesn't stop Gray from reforming his domain.

Although the centralized rule brought not only benefits to Gray, but also obvious shortcomings, the most fatal of which was the corruption of territorial officials.

His current rule over Harrence was not traditionally run by the families of other nobles, and he now needed a large system of officials.

In the most marginal area controlled by Gray, that is, the garrison of Trichadens, a squadron leader even dared to embezzle nearly half of the soldiers' salaries! If it weren't for the infighting between the two squadron leaders, who caused the entire garrison to know about their corruption, Gray might not have discovered the seriousness of the corruption in his territory until now.

This angered Gray, and the Knight of Pra, as the supreme military commander stationed in the territory of Covinde, was sent back to the city of Herion, and Gray sent the newly promoted Knight Robert to take over the position of captain of the guard in the city of Covinde.

Even Baron Reina, who was the captain of the Gray Guard, was fined a quarter of territorial taxes for this incident.

Gray summoned his Prime Minister Wright and the mayors of several towns to discuss how to solve the problem of corruption in the territory, and in the end, Wright proposed to add a department to the Guard, temporarily named the Inspectorate.

This brigade was under the command of Knight Hamp and was directly responsible to Gray.

After several years of development, the security department has increased from more than 1,000 people at the beginning to more than 5,000 people now.

This is because the Guard Service now takes over most of the tasks of the regular army, such as garrisoning the cities in the rear, suppressing banditry, and suppressing rebellions, and most of their expenses are paid for by the local administration.

The academy advocated by Sir Wright in previous years was not established in the end, but only a simple training office was added to the knightly guard, and those warriors with sufficient merit could be nominated by the guard, and Gray passed through the training office to receive full knightly training before being canonized as a knight.

The biggest change in Harrence City is the establishment of the Arcane Ritual base, and the mages did not choose their branch base in the noble district, but chose the location near the civilian market area with the most people.

The establishment of the mage base has brought many changes to Harrence City, such as many people like to run to the tavern to drink a cold beer in the summer heat, which is simply enjoyable.

For example, the city's streets are smoother and cleaner after being maintained by magicians, and mages even perform their magic in the square every weekend, which undoubtedly adds to the city's entertainment.

To Gray's surprise, these magicians invented a teleportation tool that allowed an ordinary person to transmit his voice to another place through a device called a "sound receiver" through a simple spatial magic, and it was transmitted in real time.

This technique immediately made Gray interested, and he knew that if he had this kind of communication equipment in wartime, he could fight a time war with the enemy.

However, Gray learned that the current teleportation distance of such a device is only one kilometer, and that such a device must be regularly maintained by a magician.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to re-plan the magic array, after all, there are no rules that can break the equivalent exchange conditions of the magic network.

Eventually, Gray only installed this communication tool in his castle, and the branch base would regularly send magic apprentices to maintain it, but it wasn't free, it cost money, and it was expensive, requiring ten gold coins a month.

For this reason, Wright, as the prime minister of the castle court, was opposed at first, believing that it was obviously not cost-effective to call a guard in the castle to deliver the news, and it would only pay a salary of one silver coin a month.

Moreover, he had seen this kind of magician's equipment in Wangdu before, and he knew very well that this kind of thing seemed to be convenient, but in fact it was just a chicken rib, the maintenance cost was ridiculously high, and the communication was not stable.

The most critical question is, if there are other space mages nearby, they can even detect the content of the calls communicated with this device, isn't this equivalent to giving up the secrets of the castle to the secret magic society?

But Gray seemed to have an almost obsessive fondness for this new technology, and Sir Wright finally thought that his own Viscount, who had no liking at all, and now that he had finally found something he liked, he had no objection.

There is another thing that Gray can't tolerate, that is, they openly recruit magic apprentices, and when they made an announcement, the number of people who signed up on the first day alone was enough to reach 3,000, which was undoubtedly challenging Gray's bottom line.

But fortunately, they couldn't accept so many people, and in the end they only accepted less than ten magic apprentices.

After this incident, Gray became wary of the Secret Order, and he sent Sir Wright to negotiate with them, and finally signed an agreement.

First, in the Harrens Territory, the number of magical apprentices at the base must not exceed 100.

Second, as the ruler of the Harrens Lords, you can recruit their magical apprentices to join the army.

...

The content of the treaty is nothing more than to tell the people of the Esoteric Order that the Cage family is the real ruler of the Harrence Territory.

The members of the Arcane Order in charge of Harrence Leader happen to be Kevin and his wife who helped Jenina in Moss Town.

The couple obviously have aristocratic blood, they know how to deal with nobles, and although there have been occasional frictions in these three years of getting along, there are no major problems.
