Claire would be desperate to expand directly and eat all the area that Earl Wright had carved out.

However, he has such a big appetite, but he doesn't have that much digestive power.

Territorial expansion has never been difficult for Claire, but how to build and manage it after expansion is the real difficulty.

Claire pondered the map she had copied from memory.

Judging from the current situation in Edmund's territory, at most, Claire can double her territory, and she has reached the limit.

The expansion of the territory will bring huge construction and governance pressure, and at present, Claire does not have much money and does not have enough talents to assist in management, and rash expansion is not an improvement in strength for his territory, but a drag.

Rao is so, Claire still doesn't want to give up, missed this golden window, who knows when the next such unscrupulous expansion opportunity will appear.

As the saying goes, if you do it, you regret it for a while, and if you don't do it, you may regret it for a lifetime.

Claire doesn't want to regret it for the rest of her life, and the expansion thing must be done.

However, the direction of expansion should still be well thought out.

Choosing to take these three baronies before, Claire did not have a good understanding of the resource output of the territory, resulting in the current territory, although it is not small, there are no special resources.

When expanding in the future, it is best to increase the resource output of the province as much as possible.

Relying on plundering other people's mineral resources, it can withstand for a while, but it can't withstand for a long time.

It's just that, after carefully studying the four weeks of her three baronies, Claire felt slightly bitter in her heart.

Damn, the eastern part of the kingdom is rich in products and extremely rich, so why are there no valuable minerals around.

Oh, there is a territory where there is a silver mine, but the reserves are not much, and they are basically mined, and now the annual output is less than a ton.

That's a lot of money for the baron, but it's a lot of money for Claire. Silver mines are just money, and if you really ask for money and work hard to build Domey City, you will definitely get more taxes than mining silver mines.

That's it, fortunately, the location of this territory is good, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, although silver as a magic material is relatively ordinary, but it is better than the large amount of pipes, and the construction of the magic industry in the early morning should be enough.

Claire used her hand to draw an ellipse around the map, centering on the town of Tilling.

This is the scope of the final Edmund Territory. There are seven baronies in total, and there are almost more than 80,000 people.

Well, once the integration of this territory is completed, Claire's strength is not much different from that of some weak counts.

Titles can never reflect the strength of a nobleman.

These few territories can only make Bart work hard.

Helplessly, everything is just getting started now, and Claire must sit in the town of Tilling, just in case. Even if the area is not too large, the poor traffic makes Claire's idea of patrolling the territory only an idea.

Only after the road was repaired and Claire could patrol the territory in two or three days before returning did he have a chance to look elsewhere. Today's Tiling Town is too important to be sloppy.

......

In Trois-Rivières, Earl Wright sat in his study, listening to Evan's report with a smile on his face, nodding from time to time.

Evan had already arranged the soldiers and kept them on the same page about the capture of the town of Dome.

Although there is a verbal promise from Earl Wright to help Claire, who knows what Earl Wright will think about helping Claire seize the town that has been divided into other people's towns privately.

Rather than making it possible for Count Wright to blame, it would be better to say that it was only a brief supply station in Domme. The soldiers who received the money would not be too embarrassed by him in such a trivial matter.

Earl Wright, presumably, will not delve into it.

Sure enough, Count Wright still didn't react much after hearing that Claire had sent Wadeqi to attack and take Domey.

"So, after taking Tiling Town easily, Claire sent someone to take Domey?"

"Yes, Lord Count." Evan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Count Wright did not ask him if he was involved, but cared about Claire's actions, which undoubtedly allowed him to easily pick himself out.

Given that he had taken a favor from Claire before, and his relationship with Wade was not bad, it was also appropriate to say something nice about Claire.

"The town of Tilling did not resist at all, and at that time, Baron Claire thought that the town of Domme probably did not have many troops to defend it, so he sent two hundred troops led by Wade Knight, and the result was heavy casualties. If it weren't for the unintentional love of the magician in Domei Town, I'm afraid it would have been possible for the entire army to be wiped out. ”

"Young man, I'm still too impatient." Count Wright shook his head and chuckled. "What do you think of Claire?"

"What do you think?" Evan thought to himself, and began to figure out Count Wright's thoughts.

In all fairness, Evan feels that Claire should not be underestimated, at a young age, not only is her strength outstanding, but her political and military abilities are also excellent, and she knows how to advance and retreat, and can grasp the opportunity. No matter how you look at it, this is a young man worth noting.

However, this kind of thing must not be said directly, not to mention that it is not good to take Claire's money and say bad things about the other party, once he says it, so that Earl Wright has the heart to investigate, the matter of him helping Claire take Dorme Town will definitely be exposed, and it will not be clean.

Well, it should be said that Count Wright likes to listen to it.

After having followed Count Wright for so many years, Evan naturally knew what to say to dispel Count Wright's doubts.

"How so?" Evan had a look of memory in his eyes, and there was a slight embarrassment on his face. "In my opinion, Baron Claire has a lot of potential, he is young, and his personal strength is already outstanding. But if you talk about being a nobleman, a lord, Baron Claire is a little immature. ”

"Oh?" Earl Wright came interested. "How?"

Evan remembered Claire's hesitation in the face of Eugene, and redescribed the scene with added fuel and vinegar.

In that case, Baron Claire was right to kill the captain of the guard on the spot, or to promise the captain of the guard a condition for him to surrender.

It's a pity that he made the worst choice, neither to induce the other party to surrender and create an image of a forgiving lord. Didn't kill people immediately, and made an image of a lord who killed decisively.

In this way, Baron Claire is still too young to learn how to rule the territory. I think it may have something to do with his birth. ”

The story made up by Evan obviously worked well, and Earl Wright also shook his head and sighed.

"yes, his father died too early and no one taught him this. The Edmund family also does not have their own fiefdom, and he does not rule the territory, which is normal. Governing the territory is not as easy as it seems, and he still has to learn. ”

Although Evan has a processing component to the original story, he also agrees with Earl Wright's conclusion. After all, when he was in Domey, he didn't know what Claire had done in Tilling, such as starting a literacy bar, building roads, and so on.

The impression of Claire is that he is just a young nobleman with great individual potential, a good political level, and a good training method.

Such a nobleman is worthy of friendship, but it is far from the point where you need to pay attention to it all the time.

"The Earl is right, maybe after taking Domey Town, it will be Baron Claire's headaches."

Count Wright stood up, walked to the window, and spoke softly. "Another day, let someone bring a letter to Claire, govern the territory, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also come and ask me. This child, after all, I watched him grow up, and I should teach it too, otherwise, I will be sorry for his father. ”

It seems that Lord Earl is going to reuse Claire, Evan clearly smelled this signal and hurriedly patted his ass.

"If Baron Claire knows, I'm afraid I'm afraid I can't wait to come to Trois-Rivières City to consult Lord Earl immediately."

"Hahahaha." Earl Wright burst into a hearty laugh. "Evan, you, when did you learn this?"

Evan smiled and didn't speak.

After laughing, Count Wright turned his head suddenly, his eyes shining, and he stared at Evan deadly.

"I heard that you took Claire's money and stopped Mohr for him, is there such a thing?"
