"Juliana, you say, what's next door to Sylde Manor?" Karl asked softly.

Juliana was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.

"I'll tell you, next door to Sylde Manor...... It was the mighty Flo, the ferocious barbarians, who would plunder the manors they saw, breach the fortified castles, and repay the gods they believed in with blood and bones......" Karl's voice was gentle and calm, but it made Juliana's little face turn pale.

"What's behind us?" Carl continued.

Before Juliana could answer, Carl said to herself: "Behind us, there are palace intrigues, there are all kinds of calculations, swords and honor do not bring noble character to some people, and the only thing that can keep me from being threatened by these things is my strength, only my eagle banner!" ”

Carl seemed a little excited, Juliana was a little scared, she bit her lip, Carl's words were deeply reflected in her mind, she had only hoped to make life better and peaceful for the people of Syld Manor and the village, but she had not thought about these things.

But also, the influence of class prevented her from thinking outside her own mind, and in her consciousness, Sylde Manor was her whole world.

Carl slowly closed his eyes, and the words were not so much for Juliana as for himself.

Looking at Juliana, whose body was trembling slightly, a trace of distress flashed in Carl's heart, not because they had a relationship with each other, but just for a "naïve" girl.

"Juliana, I don't blame you, I also cherish Syld Manor, this is my home after all, and I'm not much of a belligerent...... Perhaps, but I can assure you that I will not let the peace of war disturb the peace here, and I will not start a war lightly, all I do is hope to protect this homeland. Carl gently patted Juliana on the shoulder, softly comforting.

"Uh-huh......" Juliana's heart calmed for no reason, Carl's voice was soft, but with a convincing power.

There was nothing else she didn't understand, but she could tell, and Carl said that he really valued this place just as much, and that was enough.

Seeing Juliana leaving with excitement, Carl was a little confused and a little funny, what does this have to do with her? Lover?

I have no love for Juliana, which Carl can confirm, I can't love one another......

But really, there are no feelings...... That doesn't make sense, after all, the two sides also have a relationship.

Lover, after all, it can only be regarded as a lover at most, I have heard that many nobles will have so-called lovers in order to satisfy their desires, and even the number is very large, but Carl has always thought that he will not become one of this kind of nobles, but he didn't expect ......

However, no one will condemn him for this kind of thing, this kind of thing can be said to be not strange, and even if he is really completely clean, I am afraid that it will attract other people's gossip.

"It's a little tricky." Carl covered his head, what happened during this time was more exciting than he had been in half of his life, making him feel like he was dreaming for a while.

"What the hell am I a ...... What kind of people? ”

……

"Konstantin, this is the code I compiled, you can take a look at it during this time, and then use it to manage the cases in my territory." Karl pulled out the thick codex and handed it to Konstantin.

Konstantin looked at the big "Sylde Code" on the title of the code, and was stunned.

"Lord Karl, this ...... You wrote it all? Konstantin swallowed, his throat a little dry.

"Of course, but maybe a lot of things will depend on you to improve, it's up to you, come on." Karl patted Konstantin on the shoulder.

"Okay, my lord!" Konstantin nodded vigorously.

"This is my preliminary plan for the territory, you can take it and take a look." Carl handed over another drawing to Juliana, and Berg came up.

"Living quarters...... Agricultural...... Livestock area ......" Juliana frowned, Carl was very detailed on the drawings, but it gave Juliana a bit of a headache, because Carl can be said to have completely overturned the current plan, if he really wants to move, the amount of work is simply huge.

"Master Karl, this is very difficult......"

"Yes, Lord Karl, if we do that, our finances will be in trouble."

Before Juliana could finish speaking, Berg interjected, as the treasurer of Selder Manor, he had a thorough understanding of Selde Manor's income and expenses, and put himself into this role.

"Financial problems...... Carl also had a headache, this is something he didn't take into account, and he hasn't been short of money until now, so he was negligent for a while.

"So how much support can we provide from our finances now?" Karl asked.

"If you follow your plan, with the current financial situation, we will not be able to complete it in at least two years." Berg said with the math in his mind.

"Two years." Karl shook his head, it was too long, but there was nothing he could do, after all, the manor was self-sufficient, and the surplus was really not much.

"And Lord Karl, these two years still don't include the wall." Berg noticed the faint symbolic long line of the fence that Karl had drawn on the periphery of the drawings, and joked about how much it would cost to build a wall on the estate.

"Well, I'm not thinking about it, it's too early for this wall." Carl knew that the other party was right, so he had no choice but to withdraw the plan, after all, the manor was not a real castle.

"As for the money, I'll solve it, you start work first, and at least a small part of the things will be completed."

"Okay, Lord Karl."

Selder Manor still has some spare money, barely able to use it for a while.

"Lord Karl, may I ask why you are changing the landscape so drastically?" Juliana asked.

"Ha, tidying up our planning area can make a lot of things more effective with half the effort, and it can make my estate and village clean and hygienic." Carl laughed.

Juliana nodded as if she didn't understand, but pointed to another building in confusion and asked, "Lord Karl, what is this?" ”

"This is the toilet, I almost forgot to mention it, this is the only thing that must be done, and everyone in the village will have to solve the problem of defecation and defecation here." Carl said solemnly.

"Why? They used to defecate in the open. Berg asked, puzzled.

"If you don't want a plague outbreak, you'd better do what I say, and it's a dead rule!" Karl wasn't going to explain that he couldn't possibly tell them what bacteria were, and Leeuwenhoek didn't know which cell it was.

"Well, as you wish, my lord." The others had no choice but to agree when they saw Carl's unquestioning expression, and since Carl insisted, they did so.

"Kevin, how is our army training, I mean the Hagrid Corps." Karl asked.

"No problem at all, my lord, I have ten cavalry for Hagrid's corps, we have enough equipment and horses, as well as enough archers and heavy infantry, and I have tried to train them as good as possible, at least to be useful on the battlefield."

Now there is only one corps in Syld Manor, and Kevin has pressed most of the resources with Karl's permission.

"Kevin, don't forget the defenders of Sild Manor, if the enemy invades, it won't be fun to have thirty light infantry here." Karl said half-jokingly.

"Of course, Lord Karl, don't worry, it's the army you let me directly govern, how can I not pay attention to it." Kevin also chuckled.

"Alan's side should be able to provide us with enough weapons, right?"

"So far, it's okay, we have enough iron, and Mr. Allen is a good blacksmith, but it all needs to be financed." Kevin said subconsciously.

Although Alan does not charge too high a fee, and even gives a very low price, iron and all kinds of things in need are to be bought.

"By the way, Master Karl, we've bought our blouses." Berg seemed to have just thought of it, and said.

Karl nodded, a smock with the family coat of arms was a must for a nobleman, after all, their army needed to wear such a gown to identify themselves.

"It's a lot of money." Berg Nu pouted, and the smock or something was naturally made by going to the castle to find the local guild, and all this required money.

It can be said that Carl is already poor and white, after all, he is a newly crowned nobleman, and he needs money in all aspects.

"My lord, there are people out there who want to see you." Just then, a guard ran in.

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"He said he was your brother."

"Pyne?" Karl paused for a moment, then hurried to the window of Seldeburg.

Through the window, Pine's sturdy figure appeared in front of him, and the pure white war horse set off him even more extraordinary.

"It's really Pyne, let him in and help him bring his horse to the stable." Karl commanded.

It's so far away from the Barony of Wilton, Carl still misses his brother, although the other party's mouth is sometimes very bad, but Carl knows that the other party still values family affection.

"Hahahaha, my brother, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen you for a long time, I feel like you're a lot stronger!" As soon as he walked in, Pyne assured Carl and smiled as he patted him on the back.

"Don't be like this, my brother, you take off your chain mail first, the cold touch is really uncomfortable." Karl shook his head, but with a smile on his face.

The brothers who reunited were in a good mood.
