Chapter 57 Governing the Territory

Seris is short of money.

It stands to reason that the kingdom, the church, and the family have given him enough resources to expand the territory, but he has many development projects.

First of all, the first problem is to make the land suitable for farming, the land problem around the former Anqiu Town, and now the Winter Town is easy to solve, after all, this is his home field, where he can exert the power of a demigod and control the land.

It is not difficult to let the permafrost sink.

But the other lands in the territory are not so easy to solve, and they can only spend money to invite priests and mages.

The northern part of the Kingdom of Akram is not a suitable place for farming, and it is covered in snow and ice all year round, which can be described as bitter cold.

The nobles can use the precious magic potions to grow food that can increase their magic power in their own magic gardens, and self-sufficiency is no problem, but it has nothing to do with the people of the north at the bottom.

Ordinary people in the north can survive in the north, in fact, more because of the existence of the Sun Church and the Frost Church.

The Sun Priests of the Church of the Sun will perform their magic at specific times to change the weather in the north and create a warm environment where food can be grown.

The frost sacrifices of the Frost Church can use magic to make the people of the north have resistance to the cold and improve their endurance.

As for the barbarians who survive in the colder regions, they also have a special way of survival, they live by eating ice and snow, in the propaganda of the Church of the Seven, the barbarians are a race that takes refuge in the ice demons, and the magicians believe that they have been blessed by the water element of the elemental world.

The barbarians themselves claim to be the heirs of the god of frost.

Because of this claim, the Oinker family and other forces related to the frost god dragon are all staunch main battle factions, and they have always claimed to exterminate the barbarians.

With the changing times, the people of the north now rely more on trade as a source of food.

Because the north is rich in mineral resources, there are a large number of mines in the north.

And this era is also a special era.

There are many races in this world, but humans are undoubtedly the overlords.

The country is located in the Seven Sacred Cities, known as the Holy Country, Aklan, is the central country of the continent, bordered by elves in the south, Jersey in the east of the country of mages, and Katin, the country of knights in the west.

The country is the strongest, but the political situation is stable, sitting on the divine power and the largest aristocratic system.

Jersey, the country of mages, is connected to Akram in the west and elves in the south, although the country is the smallest of the four kingdoms, but the country implements the mage aristocracy, only mages can become nobles, and has the largest mage system.

To the east, there is a vast island country, known as the land of alchemy, and it is also the country that has been famous for its maritime supremacy since ancient times, and started the transformation of the times forty years ago.

A legendary alchemist in his country invented the magic machine, an energy machine that can rely on the magic crystal to start independently, causing a large number of magic factories to appear.

Now this wave has even spread to the kingdom of Aklan, where many northern nobles have set up their own factories to fully exploit the mineral resources in their territory.

Of course, not all nobles have chosen to transform, because although powerful mages can make this mineral by themselves, there are still many nobles who have chosen the previous survival mode.

And Aklan, the knightly land of Casting, is a legendary country.

The western continent where this country is located not only has a part of the land connected with the barbarians, but also in the west of their country, there are dwarves living places, as well as many ancient relics, which can be described as a real land of four wars.

The kingdom has been destroyed seven times, but even with the change of royal family, the country has been re-established.

Even three hundred years ago, the fierce orcs were completely crippled by them, and the remaining remnants migrated further west, becoming a member of the ancient relics, and no longer the prestige of the four major races.

Well...... Barbarians are considered traitors to humans, so the only big races in this world today are elves, humans and dwarves.

As for the legendary dragons and sea tribes, they are really just legends, and there is only some scattered evidence that they actually existed.

……

"Your Highness Seris, our current material shortfall is mainly due to the recruitment of the lords and the development of land, as well as the cost of road construction, and the income of the glass factory and soap factory you founded can only be partially blocked. The cost of hiring a Sun Church sacrifice is the largest part of it. ”

"As for building the road, it requires the sacrifice of the dragon to keep the road from being buried by the wind and snow, but thanks to the relationship between the Marquis, the cost is not too high."

In the hall of the castle, Seris sat on the Ice Throne, listening to the report of his knight Essen.

Essen is his squire knight, and he has grown up with him since he was a child, so he can be regarded as his henchman, and now that he has established a territory, he naturally brings Essen and other henchmen to help him.

Essen was a tall, bronde young man with a sunny smile on his face, but now he looked at Seris with a pitiful face, and his twenty-year-old face was full of longing to retire at the age of seventy.

The various accounts in the territory of the recent past made this poor young knight feel that his head was not as good as nothing.

"I know, then next, you go and help me form a chamber of commerce, and if you have money, you go to the church to withdraw some of it."

Seris is very calm, and when he is in trouble, it is better to find a church.

The corners of Essen's mouth twitched, and he wanted to remind his Highness that the Knowledge Church was a notoriously poor church in the Church of the Seven Gods, and there was not much source of income at all, and the support provided by the church also had a limit in terms of material and money, but he thought about it and closed his mouth again.

No matter how poor he is, he is also one of the Seven Gods Church, and if it weren't for his own highness, who wanted to transform most of the land into something that could be planted, he wouldn't have too many worries.

But at the present level, the church can still support it.

"I see, Your Highness! That...... What about the specific arrangements after this chamber of commerce? ”

"Let's set up the Chamber of Commerce first, and then contact the factory where the magic machine is connected, and customize this vehicle for me...... Remember, this kind of vehicle can only be used by us, and having the church help with the order is part of the oracle. ”

Seris tapped the armrest twice, and the waiter walked towards Essen with a wooden box in his hand.

Essen took the wooden box and opened it to find that it contained a roll of drawings.

In the drawings, there is a design plan for a tracked vehicle.

In the north, where the road conditions are not good and the snow is covered all year round, the tracked vehicle, which does not pick the environment, is very suitable for transporting goods.

After pondering for a while, Essen roughly understood what Seris was thinking, after all, the drawings also marked the role of the tracked vehicle and the effect that could be achieved.

"Your Highness, this kind of order, there may be some opposition, and some reckless nobles can only see the immediate benefits. After all......"

"After all, nobles are greedy, right?"

Seris chuckled and interrupted Essen.

Essen knelt down on one knee and was about to plead guilty, but Seris shook his head, and then said, "Don't worry about those, if the tracked car proves useful, then the person who covets this benefit, let him join the chamber of commerce." ”

Building the Chamber of Commerce into a platform that can mobilize resources is what Seris really does.

As for the question of money, it is still the same sentence, there is a church, and there is not much of a problem at present.
