Boulder.

Tumitit led the first city.

In terms of population, it surpasses the ancient oak city, with a permanent population of nearly 600,000, and even if you look at the whole of Asla, it is a veritable large fortress city.

In the past few years, someone has ordered the Crimson Knights to fight three times, defeating three dwarven tribes in the northern mountain region, and the longbeard tribe has grown rapidly, and the leader Sotu has been promoted to chieftain among the dwarves.

After Suotu unexpectedly pledged allegiance as a knight, Jiang Yuan assigned a barony on the edge of the mountain range for the dwarves to use freely, and almost all of the more than 30,000 dwarves could fight, and nearly half of the big leaders were women.

Of course, the main task of the entire Longbeard Tribe at the moment is to make better drinks, and forging equipment and scrap weapons are not as important as this work.

The city center, the Imperial Palace.

The opulent decoration seriously exceeded the ceremonial specifications expected of a marquis, and instead of antique scrolls, it was surrounded by a variety of rare and special products, most of which were gathered by smuggling routes, and a large number of monster specimens were lined up, like a museum where exhibitions were held.

In the main hall, Jiang Yuan went straight to the black iron seat of the same style as the Alchemy Pagoda, and Mi Yi wanted to sit on his father's lap to share a little glory, but he was ruthlessly pushed away.

Mi Yi looked stunned, because the other party never resisted this kind of behavior, and even hugged herself to the plenary meeting when she was a child.

"Female father avoids." Jiang Yuan said lightly.

Mie: "......"

Okay, so good (stroking the palm)

Not far away, Xia Mi pulled Sheng Yi and Luo Qixi to rummage through the pile of specialties, because occasionally there would be something to eat, which was the pleasure of opening the blind box.

It's the end of autumn, the mandarin flowers are withering, the territory taxes in summer and autumn, the commercial taxes and smuggling profits of Boulder City will be summarized today, before leaving, someone is ready to explode again, deepen their own heritage, and at the same time, last year's profits have not been used, when the battle for the founding of the country has begun, and it is necessary to reserve to deal with the variables.

The Chamber of Commerce was now very strong, and its headquarters were in the city, and the Count of the Great Stone, Casse, Odell, and Saint-Sin, who was in charge of the tax overseer this year, entered the main hall and began to settle the accounts immediately after saluting.

Hours passed, and the three of Natsumi ran out of boredom to go shopping in the city, and Mi Yi patiently sat on the small stool he had brought in, waiting for the results to appear.

"Master, 34,000 gold coins for two years, 15,000 gold coins for commercial tax, 11,000 gold coins for territorial taxes, and 51,000 gold coins for the estimated operating expenses in the coming year are removed, in addition, this is your pocket money." After the report, Saint Xin took three animal skin bags, which contained fractions of the time when they were summarized, and were usually used for daily expenses.

Jiang Yuan nodded, and casually threw a bag to Mi Yi, which was the salary of the vice monarch.

"Thank you, father." Mie said sincerely, trying to salvage some of the image.

"I will invest this year's profits in the main army, and there will be no mistakes in the big war a year later."

"Yes, master."

St. Ding responded with a knightly salute.

Jiang Yuan consumed three hundred gold coins worth of magic crystals to open the matrix dagger and returned to the alchemy tower in the castle of the viscount of the ancient oak city, so far, he has experienced three important wars, namely the battle of the bloody dawn that began, the continuous exploration campaign for five years, and the battle for the founding of the country that ended a while ago.

Next year is the critical period for the promotion of the marquis to the upper nobles, and the great granary of the Norfos Plain must be held in their hands, and for the fifth duke with real power, the other four noble nobles are destined not to allow the newcomers to divide the old pattern of interests.

The war to punish the rebels is about to break out, and as for the real usurpation war, it will not be until the plains of Norvos have been completely digested, and the blood of the previous princes is enough to keep the tradition of the nobles of Asra, who are accustomed to compromise, continue the tradition, provided that they show the right cooperation, such as if someone goes to the royal capital to integrate into the rules.

After a year, the Alchemy Pagoda was activated again.

First of all, there are 10 Alchemy Sword Masters, who consume 4,000 gold coins, and these people will be divided under the command of Shengding to make up for the lack of backbone and high-level combat power.

This was followed by 40,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 mid-ranking officers, with a total consumption of 24,000 gold coins.

Finally, there are 4,700 regular soldiers, 300 middle-level officers and 5,000 alchemy war horses to form the Dragon Knights, which belong to the main legion and consume 23,080 gold coins.

A total of 51,080 coins.

Jiang Yuan added another 80 gold coins to it, and the entire refining process took half a day, if it wasn't for the blood tonic potion from the monster prepared in advance, he might still be in danger of life, and this time he also exhausted the beast brain tissue fluid in stock, but as the breeding scale of the labyrinth vice city became larger and larger, these were not a problem, and even the number of griffin knights exceeded five hundred.

When I returned to Boulder, the night was already dark,

The army and the Dragon Knights were on their way, and the spatial passage could not support so many people to pass through in half an hour.

On the black iron seat, Mi Yi put down today's affairs, the consul of Boulder City is the former Earl of Boulder, and his deputy is ten selected middle-level soldiers, this earl should have been the main person responsible for the chaotic battle on the Norfos Plains, and was later saved by someone, and continued to live a life surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, occasionally exerting some residual heat.

Seeing his father return, Mie departed from the Black Iron Throne.

"Mother bought a lot of food and came back."

"So what." Jiang Yuan asked.

"Just over dinner with you." Miy said a little awkwardly.

Jiang Yuan picked up the other party, this time the little guy did not resist, the two went straight to the main hall at the back, and the servants brought the warm dishes back to the table.

Natsumi came from the back kitchen, carrying three cups of fruit drinks with ice.

"It's lively outside, it's full of people, and today I met two adventurers who don't have long eyes."

Mi Yi saw the other party's look of "you guys ask me quickly", so he had to cooperate:

"And then what happened."

"Chop it off, of course." Xia Mi said excitedly: "I raised the knife in my hand, and the two guys immediately hit the ground, and the blood sprayed ~ so high, I haven't done it myself for a long time, one of them is still a high-level soldier, super large, those two people fell in love with Luo Qixi, probably a pervert." ”

Next to the dining table, Luo Qixi, who had changed into a black and white maid outfit, couldn't help but say:

"Ma'am, it's not a shame to like petite bodies."

"Of course." Xia Mi ran over and put his hands on her from behind, and said with a smile, "You're so cute, it's normal for someone to like you." ”

Luo Qixi was numb and unconsciously leaned back, since she was forced to become the head maid, similar harassment had become more and more, and she was almost losing her resistance to these hands.

"Mother, please don't bother the teacher." Miy looked at the flush on Lokihee's face and decided to save the other party's precarious shame.

Article 10 of the Maid Ordinance: It is forbidden to refuse any act of imposition by the three masters.

"Okay." Natsumi whistled, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Then please trouble the maid to serve me to dinner." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Lokihi struggled to move, the day's sisterhood had been reduced to nothing, and now it was time to squeeze and train.

Maid Ordinance 9: Strictly observe any orders of the three masters.

Jiang Yuan stuffed the sliced barbecue into his mouth, ignored his daughter's gaze from hidden anticipation to deliberately cold, swallowed it and said: "The first entry into the Sword Saint is too slow, it takes at least four or five years to accumulate the foundation, and the road to promotion should not be so difficult for you." ”

In other words, this fish is too obvious, the other party is the height of a monarch, and it is worthy of reaching the realm of the Sword Saint, which is undoubtedly unqualified.

Luo Qixi's face almost collapsed, the twenty-year-old sword saint could only get such an evaluation, no wonder he would be reduced to a maid.

"Granny Merlin said that her mother is a genius that is rare in a century." Mie also felt that her father's opinion was a bit outrageous.

"Miss, the master's judgment is the standard of everything." Sheng Yi retorted rarely, his tone still soft.

"Got it." Xia Mi avoided someone's gaze, although the war has been raging all these years, but she really has no sense of crisis, everything is handled by the other party, if she participates, it is more likely to cause chaos, this is the conclusion of practice.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan didn't delve into it anymore, in fact, the other party's willingness to cultivate had already reached his expectations, he just didn't want this guy to be thorough, and easily killing two adventurers today might make him have a subconscious of "it's just that", this kind of thinking is quite dangerous.

"I've decided to sleep in a separate room with you tonight." Miyi's words broke the slightly dull atmosphere.

The knife and fork in Jiang Yuan's hand paused slightly.

"Why?" Xia Mi was stunned, it used to be three people together, at most they ran out in the middle of the night and came back before dawn.

In order to avoid the social death of the other party, Mi Yi pondered for a while and said, "I want to cultivate my own sense of independence. ”

"Whoa." Xia Mi nodded again and again, good thing.

"The attitude is commendable." Jiang Yuan said.

Mi Yi bowed his head reservedly, and it was another day to cover up the crisis of the quarrel.

Dinner continues with Lokihi, St. Ding and St. Sing taking their seats in the second half.
