CHAPTER XIII

The old pier is located in the northern part of Nanlin Island, and it is also the only way to keep Nanlin Island in touch with the outside world, and it was built by the first Baron Nanlin Island. However, with more than 100 years of wind and rain, it has become more and more dilapidated, so that people have forgotten its original name and only called it the old dock.

The small fishing town is located in the south of Nanlin Island, which is a small town that emerged after the discovery of aquamarine fish resources during the third generation of barons, and the fishermen of Nanlin Island are basically concentrated here. With more than 30 old fishing boats on the territory, the small fishing town has also provided a lot of seafood and meat for the residents of Nanlin Island over the years.

Lin Feng watched the slaves in the distance, some of them were driving piles and setting up tents, and some were unloading the materials brought by the "South Wind", everything was going on in an orderly manner. He instructed Locklan to send two people back to Nanlin Town to inform him of the news of his return, and then he took Shui Rou and drove back slowly in a carriage.

Nanlin Town is the largest settlement area on Nanlin Island, and the Baron Castle of the Lin Feng family is also located in the center of Nanlin Town. There are four villages built around Nanlin Town, namely Fallen Leaf Village, Mugu Village, Haixing Village and Wangbei Village. Among them, the village of Deciduous Leaves is in the south of Nanlin Town, close to the Central and Southern Wasteland, while the other three villages are arranged along the coast.

Fifteen kilometers west along the coast of Nanlin Island from the old pier, there are three large estates connected together, which are collectively known as the "Nishi Manor", as the name suggests, were reclaimed during the second baronial period.

That is to say, on this island, which is about 40 kilometers long from east to west and 25 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of more than 1,000 square kilometers. Lin Feng, the baron, only had two towns, four villages, and three large manors to effectively rule the area, and the rest of the land was a large area of no man's land. In the no-man's land, the Baron of Nanlin Island only has nominal ownership and cannot receive any profit from it.

The traveling carriage suddenly stopped, which also interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts. Shui Rou turned her head and said to Lin Feng, "Young Master, it's here", and jumped out of the carriage first. As a little maid, she was not able to enter the castle in a carriage with Lin Feng at this time.

At this time, Nanlinburg had already received the news of the new baron's return, the heavy fortress gate had already been opened, and the knights and servants belonging to the baron of Nanlindao had already formed two columns outside the castle gate, and at the end of the line, a gentle woman was eagerly watching Lin Feng's carriage.

Behind her were the various stewards and leaders in the territory, and Lin Feng's uncle was also standing among them, some of these people were happy, and some were expressionless. Lin Shan, in particular, stood in the middle of the welcoming crowd with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

The carriage passed through the human wall and stopped in front of Shui Wanru, Lin Feng gave his mother a big hug after getting out of the car, and his admiration was heartfelt, and there was no pretentiousness. This is also the result of the fusion of the souls of the two Lin Feng, and the relationship of the predecessor is the relationship of Lin Feng now.

Afterwards, Lin Feng waved to the welcoming crowd, and his expression and temperament were completely in line with the etiquette and style that a nobleman should have. The feeling to everyone is that the young master with a stubborn personality in the past is just everyone's imagination. Could it be that after the official succession, such a drastic change will occur in a person?

Seeing Lin Feng's performance like this, Shui seemed to show a relieved smile, as a mother, he had too many reasons to be proud of his son. On the other side, Lin Shan's face was even more gloomy.

Lin Feng led everyone towards the hall of the castle, where he would hold his first political council as the new baron. Of course, this meeting will not involve the substantive content of government affairs, but is more equivalent to a meeting, and everyone is familiar with each other.

The meeting didn't last long, and the baron returned home from a long journey, and everyone was still concerned about his body, so they all dispersed after a while. However, before leaving, Lin Feng informed everyone that a celebration party would be held tomorrow night, hoping that everyone would be able to participate, which naturally received a warm response from everyone.

When only Lin Feng and Shui Wan were left, Lin Feng slowly told his mother about what had happened for more than a year, Shui seemed to smile gently, watching his son finally become mature, and his heart was full of happiness. It was the first time since her husband had passed away that she had such a sweet sense of well-being.

Finally, Lin Feng took out the gift he had prepared a long time ago from the space ring, the physique elixir that he had carefully contributed. The effect of these 20 potions ranges from weak to strong, and it is most suitable for people with long-term illnesses like water. Tell her mother to take one every three days in the order he had marked. In this way, she will recover fully in just two months.

After watching the water as if he had drunk the first potion, Lin Feng sent his mother back to her room to rest. His little maid Shui Rou also went with her, well, but she had escaped from him, the black-hearted little baron.

Lin Feng walked into the special study of the Baron of Nanlin Island, this room has not had an owner for sixteen years, since his father died, only the chief butler of the Baron's Mansion has the right to enter this room, so the daily cleaning of this room is handled by the chief butler Lin Nabu.

Linnab is the hereditary steward of the Baron of Nanlin Island, and is also the hereditary field lord of Nanlin Island, with nearly five hundred acres of land. His family has served the Baron of Nanlin Island for generations, and he is loyal to the Baron of Nanlin Island, and he is also one of the families who cannot betray Lin Feng.

In this world, the nobles gave fiefdoms to their loyal subordinates, and the subordinates reciprocated loyalty and life to the feudal king, which was the cornerstone of the stable rule of the nobles at all levels. A vassal who deprives his subordinate realm for no reason and a subordinate vassal who deliberately betrays the vassal are the enemies of all nobles.

This can be seen from the staffing of the Baron's Mansion at all levels, the chief butler is hereditary, the territorial internal affairs officer is hereditary, the guardian knight is hereditary, and even the fixed positions of gardeners, grooms, cooks, etc. in the Baron's Mansion are also hereditary. This is not only the contribution of the first baron to his subordinates, but also the necessity of consolidating the family inheritance.

Lin Feng sat behind a heavy and wide beech wooden table, and behind him were rows of small cabinets, all locked, and inside were all kinds of confidential documents left down by some families. Across the table, against the wall stood several tall bookshelves, respectively containing the genealogy of the Lin family, the life experiences of each ancestor, and the various books collected.

After sitting for a while, Lin Feng was about to leave, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and after getting Lin Feng's approval, the chief butler Lin Nabu walked in.
