Feeling that Sophia might be pregnant, Richard suddenly felt extremely happy and excited in his heart.

In his previous life, Richard had a daughter, and when he first crossed over, he missed her all the time.

I thought that I would never see my daughter again, and sometimes I even wanted to die.

I hope that after I die, I can travel back.

The pain in his heart Richard gritted his teeth and pushed through, time is the best medicine to heal the pain.

After coming to this world for more than ten years, my daughter's appearance seems to have become blurred, and the indescribable pain of that year seems to have become an unforgettable memory.

Life goes on, Richard has been married in the Dawn Continent, has a new family, and is about to usher in a new life.

Recalling the past scene after scene, Richard suddenly remembered the faces of his family, and suddenly felt his nose sour, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Pregnant, pregnant, what are you crying about."

"It's nothing, it's just too exciting. Since you feel tired, you should rest for a few days and put aside the things at hand. If you are really pregnant, you must not be too tired, you are still the first child, and you should pay attention to your body. ”

Since May, Richard has been busy with the formation of the Warcraft cavalry, from the soldiers' barracks, cavalry training grounds, training equipment, living materials, and even the construction of the Warcraft Warhorse's stable, Richard needs to worry about it.

In this way, three months passed, and it entered the middle of August.

This year's autumn harvest has started again, but this time Richard doesn't need to stare at it, the autumn harvest work is handed over to his cousin Donn, and Richard just looks at the statistics, checks the granary, and knows how much grain has been harvested this year.

Over the course of three months, Sophia gradually showed obvious signs of pregnancy, her belly slowly grew larger, and her face became more and more round with the arrival of pregnancy.

The two have been married for two years and now finally have children of their own.

After confirming her pregnancy, Sophia stopped her magical studies and returned to Sophia's Fort to raise her baby.

The upper echelons of the territory also attached great importance to this child. They swore allegiance to Richard Sophia to the unborn child.

Although William did not talk about it publicly, he would give the territory to Richard to inherit.

But looking at his cultivation of Richard, it is obvious that he regards Richard as his heir.

Even in order to establish Richard's prestige, William rarely came to the territory.

Even if Richard is not yet the first heir to William, Ron and Hayden are in the order of succession before him.

But the succession of nobles to the title is not only based on the order of succession, but also on who is supported within the territory?

If you don't have authority in your territory and don't have enough supporters, you can't inherit your territory even if you are higher in the line of succession.

Because the territory will put pressure on you to give up your inheritance.

If they don't know how to lift, they will even use drastic means, assassination, and assault to physically eliminate their opponents and support the people they support to ascend to power.

Unless you have the power to suppress the opposition.

For example, Ron, if he inherits the territory, Powell, Bernie and other members of the Harland family may not obey him.

When William was promoted to baron, Richard, Powell, and Bernie all made great efforts.

The combined exploits of the three people are more than four great feats, and this barony is not only the domain of William alone.

They have worked hard all their lives to become hereditary nobles, and they all have a say in the choice of heirs.

They don't want the foundation they have fought for all their lives to be handed over to a relatively mediocre person.

What's even more troublesome is that the military forces of the territory will not easily obey Ron's command.

Even the most influential civilian, agricultural, and industrial sectors are estimated to fool him.

It is impossible to inherit a complete territory by virtue of a single title.

If Richard inherits the territory, there is no such problem.

His ability has already been affirmed by Bernie and Powell, and the army was formed by him again, so it is not a problem to command the army in terms of ability and prestige.

Moreover, Richard also had a deep relationship with some officers, and emotionally they did not want Ron to inherit the territory.

The industrial sector was created by Richard himself, and every cadre was promoted by him, and Richard also had a very high influence on the bureaucrats in charge of industry and agriculture.

Even if Ron is reluctant and has a grudge in his heart, he must give up his inheritance in this situation.

Hayden had already discussed with Richard that he would give up his inheritance and take the initiative to raise the issue at the family meeting this Christmas.

In August, the glass kiln was also successfully put into operation, producing the first furnace of glass in the territory.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of bubbles in the glass, and the color is not very pure, and after the processing of the glassmaker, this batch of glass was made into glass wine bottles, which were handed over to the tavern of Lady Ola.

The difficulty of firing glass is not low, and it requires six major processes: material selection, melting, preparation of molds, pouring, cooling, and polishing.

Each craft has a lot of details, and some even require exquisite craftsmanship on the part of the craftsman.

Fortunately, there is already an experienced kiln master in Haaland's territory, and even if he has not burned glass, he is already very sensitive to the temperature of the kiln mouth, so he fired the first furnace of glass.

Richard knew that the glass industry was a precursor to the chemical industry, and without the glass industry, it would be difficult to develop the chemical industry.

The glasssmiths that Richard bought for fifty gold coins were not of high quality, and they all relied on experience. But relying on these people, Haaland's territory did not take many detours, and finally burned the glass.

Sometimes in industrial manufacturing, a small detail can be stuck for many years. Before buying these glass craftsmen, Haaland's territory burned glass for several years without success, and the glass craftsmen came to give some pointers, and Richard suddenly found that it was not difficult to burn glass at all.

Through these people, Richard learned how to design a glass kiln, how to make glass, how high the temperature it needed, how to remove air bubbles, how to fire colorless or various colors of glass, and how to blow into finished products.

After several failures, the craftsmen of the glass kiln summed up their experience and found that the reason why the glass was not pure was because there were too many impurities in the soda used before.

Richard sent people to buy a batch of natural soda from Jonathan's domain, and then mixed these soda with limestone and river sand to calcine.

After fully stirring to remove part of the air bubbles, the burned glass slurry is blown into containers of various shapes with a blowpipe.

After buying pure soda, the fired glass immediately got much better, barely meeting Richard's requirements.

Richard first had the glassmaker blow a batch of cups, test tubes, distillation flasks and other experimental utensils, and handed them over to Wendy and Adrian.

They all need to do experiments, using a lot of glassware every year.

Glass could now be produced in the territory, and Richard did not need to pay a high price for Viscount Rohman's glassware.

As for the large pieces of clear glass that Richard needed, the glass kiln directly cast a batch of copper molds. By using the pouring method, he succeeded in producing the large pieces of clear glass that Richard needed.

The glass kiln was successfully put into operation, and the industry of the territory was upgraded a little.
