"If you look at the Kronokee Lake area, the new Red Leaf Town will have to change the way of thinking, father, mother, I think we should do more in the service industry and business in addition to the family castle."

Aldington discussed things with his parents after dinner.

Baron Aureno was puzzled: "Service and commerce? ”

"It was very difficult for the family to reclaim the wasteland in a short period of time, but we have Lake Krookee on our back, and this is the biggest resource. Mercenary groups and adventure groups can be encouraged to come here to mine, and when the road is repaired, the lakeside market will be expanded and logistics will be provided, and it is believed that more and more mercenary groups will arrive. ”

"This will indeed attract a lot of mercenary groups, but it will also make Momiji Town noisy, these mercenaries are not as honest and easy to manage as serfs." Lady Helena frowned.

"Actually, it's okay, you can limit their range of activities, and then send knights to manage security." "As long as we get the logistics right, we have more mercenaries, more and more taxes will be paid, and then we can expand the family's ranks of servants." ”

"Expand the ranks of servants?"

"Yes, father, if we only cultivate the manor and cultivate the land, it will be difficult to feed more knights and servants with the existing number of serfs, but by developing Lake Kronotkee, we can receive a steady stream of taxes. By using these tax revenues to support more servants, you will be able to firmly control the interests of the Cronokey Lake area. ”

It is difficult to train knights in a short period of time, but it is not difficult to recruit knights, after all, they can be recruited from outside.

After Baron Aureno thought it through, he made a direct decision: "This is a good idea, so it was decided to expand the lakeside market into a lakeside city." In the future, the focus of the family's cultivation will be changed from manor production to business logistics. I will issue notices in Kamchatka Province and several nearby provinces inviting mercenary groups to station. ”

The Baron is a resolute lord.

After deciding, he immediately summoned his vassal knights and two free lords to discuss and formulate a proper plan.

It only took three days for the plan to come out.

The Baron then summoned all the mercenary groups and adventurers in the vicinity and announced the plan.

And promised: "The Kronotke Lake region is full of wealth, but in the past, it was difficult to carry out large-scale mining due to inaccessibility and lack of logistics. From now on, the Iris family is your backing, and we only charge one-tenth of the tax on all the output of the land outside of Momiji Town. ”

At the same time, he said that Lakeside City would provide the best logistics services for everyone, and that the Iris family would also build a gallop around the lake along Lake Kronokee, with markets and small supply points around the trail to ensure that mercenary groups could mine any surrounding forest.

"Praise the Iris Family!"

"Praise to Lord Baron!"

The head of the mercenary group, after receiving this promise, was overjoyed, compared to the tenth of the tax extracted by the Iris family, logistics services were too important.

Although everyone licked blood at the tip of a knife and dared to compete with demonic beasts for food, they were still pale and powerless in the face of the remote forest.

It's easy to hunt Warcraft, but if you want to transport Warcraft out, it's very difficult, and once a person is injured, it is difficult to get treatment, and the mortality rate is always high. Now with the Iris family providing logistics and building gallop roads, it is completely possible to have caravans stationed, and then the prey and wounded personnel of the mercenary group can be directly transported to the supply point for processing.

"The Iris family provides you with so many guarantees, and you also need to abide by the rules I have made, in Lakeside City, in Momiji Town, and even in the entire Kronokee Lake area, if anyone dares to violate my rules, the Iris Knights will let him understand what it means to be inviolable!"

The baron looked at the people in charge of the mercenary group with a serious face, he was an imperial baron, a bloodline noble, a phantom beast knight, and he was the only master in this land.

"Please rest assured, my lord, our mercenary group is all here to earn money to support our families, and we will definitely abide by the rules you have specified."

"Yes, we swear to the three gods that we will abide by the rules of the adults!"

……

The Baroness were busy, and Aldington was not idle, taking Hogg the big cat around to inspect the woods in Red Leaf Town's territory.

Activating the Evil Condensation Divine Power, if there are no natural transpiration, colorful mist, and divine blessings, the three signs that may give birth to a Nymph, he will directly mark this forest with a cross. When the family's serfs are free, all these forests will be cut down and either cleared into farmland or used to grow grass.

There is no need to think about protecting the environment.

Not only was he responsible for deforestation, but he was also responsible for urging serfs to reclaim canals and connect the various hot spring oases to irrigate enough arable land. At the same time, according to the excavation of the canals, the location of each manor was determined, and wooden houses were built with the cut wood to house the serfs.

Of course, he just gave some pointers when he was interested, and when the interest passed, he took the big cat into the forest to hunt.

From the mercenary group and the adventure group, he had already inquired about the distribution of demonic beasts in the vicinity, where there were high-level demonic beasts, and where there were only low-level demonic beasts, it was very clear. He even inquired about three forests where phantom beasts were entrenched, and they were quite far away from New Red Leaf Town.

"We always take a detour around these phantom beasts, Young Master Aldington, when you go hunting in the forest, you must be careful not to stray into the territory of phantom beasts."

"I'm not going to be so reckless."

"Oh yes, I also heard that there's a phantom beast in Lake Kronotkee, too."

"Phantom beasts in the lake, too?" Aldington became interested, "Captain Rudolph, tell me in detail what phantom beasts are in Lake Kronotkee. ”

Captain Rudolph has been here for many years, and the gossip is very well understood: "Because there is a small fish called viviparous fish in Lake Kronotkee, other fish are spawning, and it directly produces small fish." Although this viviparous fish is not a sea monster, it is rich in nutrients and is not worse than low-level magical beasts. ”

He continued: "So there was a mercenary group before, and professional fishing teams were organized, and they cut down and built ships on the spot, and went deep into the central area of Lake Kronotkei to fish. But that time I went to ten big ships, and only one came back. ”

"They encountered the Phantom Kraken?"

"Yes, I encountered a huge octopus that could transform into an illusion and easily destroy the magic array on the big ship...... But I can't guarantee whether it's true or not, it happened a long time ago, and I've heard it relayed by others, and I haven't personally met the survivors of that ship. ”

"Is there only this time when the phantom beast encountered, and are there any other mercenary groups that have gone into the depths of the lake to fish?"

"It seems that there is no more, it is already expensive to build a ship in Kronotkei Lake, and there are unknown dangers, no mercenary group will take any more risks, after all, there are enough rich resources in the forests of this land for us to exploit." Regimental Commander Rudolph shrugged his shoulders.

Aldington nodded in agreement, and then asked, "How much do you know about the legends of the local dragon?" ”
