(Add more to everyone's commuter pass!) ）

Hobert has a well-established concept of political economy, and investment and construction cannot be stopped for a moment.

Since it was difficult for this poor country to get foreign investment, it was up to the lord to invest constantly.

Hobert is going to spend the more than 9,000 pounds he had accumulated before into more than 11,000 gold and then spend it first!

If it's not enough, he still has gold there, and so many extraordinary properties, in short, he has to keep investing and improve the economy of the territory.

Through this period of observation, Hobert found that the pollution from the lake was similar to that described by Bishop Simpson, and now that he had an "ocean pendant", he planned to explore the lake in the next day or two.

Philip reminded: "Many of the building materials in the territory are running out and need to be bought elsewhere. ”

Hoberton nodded: "Go and call Wayne!" ”

During the time it took to summon Wayne, Hobart went to the study for a few minutes before returning with a delicate sword in hand.

He handed the sword to Siel: "Good job, reward for you." ”

Hobart was referring to the fact that when the household was registered, Schill was in charge of calling people to the lord's mansion and did a good job.

Schill happily took the sword with both hands: "Thank you, sir, for the reward." ”

Hobert said again: "In the future, you will be my chief guard, go and organize seven or eight helpers, and take turns to stand guard in front of the door of the lord's mansion in the future." ”

Schill quickly knelt down to show his allegiance.

"Get up." Hobert smiled: "As the captain of the guard, my first task is to go around the town and the villages, and warn the people that there have been bandits incurring recently, and if you see a fresh face, report it to the lord's mansion immediately."

"If it is determined that it is a bandit, the lord's palace will give a bounty of not less than 10 silver cords to the person who reported it."

After all, this is Hobert's territory, and as long as the people in the territory are mobilized, the three mercenary squads will not dare to act blatantly.

Then if they wanted to attack again, they would have to travel at least twenty or thirty miles to reach the lord's mansion.

"Yes!" Schill, who received the order, left the main hall with his sword in his hand.

Soon Wayne came to the main hall, and Hobert said, "I have some dried fruits to sell, and I need to buy some building materials in the territory, and I need someone to help me run errands, would you like to accept this mission?"

"You still continue to run the boat, as long as you don't delay the use of the Lord's Mansion, you can come to the Lord's Mansion every week to receive a salary."

Wayne hurriedly said, "It's my honor to work for you. ”

Hober nodded: "I will send you an assistant, send a clerk."

"The assistant will help you drive the steamboat, and the clerk will take care of the bookkeeping, so let's go after the people are sent out."

Seeing Wayne leave, Hobert asked Roy, who was standing at the door of the main hall, to ask Philip to arrange manpower for Wayne, and called the "Registered Knight" who had just been canonized yesterday.

Conrad was now working in the Lord's Palace, and it was only a minute or two before he arrived in the main hall.

Hobert said: "Although the work of household registration is over, your work has just begun.

"Don't disband the clerks who did the records before, and then there will be places where they will be used, and they will all be under your command for the time being.

"Your first job is to count the shops in the town, and if they are closed, buy them in my name, and Roy will pay after you, and confiscate those who can't find the owner.

"If it is still in business, make a record behind the corresponding household registration to determine the property rights."

He paused and said, "Then you have to go and count the houses in the town, and do the relevant household registration to register, and all the ownerless houses will be confiscated."

"After completing these tasks, we have to go to the surrounding towns and villages to measure the land, and also do the relevant field registration.

"At the same time, you have to explain one thing to the residents and villagers of the town: from now on, if there is a transaction of land and property, it must be reported to the lord's mansion to have legal effect, otherwise I will not recognize the validity of the transaction."

Hobart said as Conrad remembered that although he didn't quite understand what the lord was doing, he just had to do it.

Several decrees were issued in succession, and Hobert took a break with a cup of tea.

Furth, who was taking a shorthand note on the side, took advantage of this time to ask: "What is the purpose of registering the land transaction in the lord's mansion?" ”

She always felt that Hobert had a lot of plans in this matter, but she didn't quite understand what he was planning.

"Of course, take ownership of all the fields in the territory from the side!" Hobert smiled: "Legally, all the arable land in the territory is my private property, and it is just lent to the people to cultivate, so the people have to pay taxes."

"However, this kind of legal principle cannot be put on the surface, and can only be made aware of this by the people from the side."

Furth frowned: "These laws seem to be a little impersonal. ”

"Sometimes it's just a matter of being unkind to stay in power." Hobert said solemnly: "In this way, we can concentrate our efforts to the maximum and do something that is difficult for individuals to achieve."

"And if it's a mess of sand, relying only on the strength of individuals to build the infrastructure, it's impossible to accomplish it."

"Okay." Furth smiled: "It seems that I am not suitable for politics. ”

She asked, "What do you want so many shops for?" I went to the town the day before yesterday, and the inhabitants of the town had been exploited for six years and had no money to buy anything. ”

"That's why I'm buying the store, that's why I'm going to keep building." Hobert smiled: "When everyone has money in their hands, they also have the idea of spending."

"If I reopen the stores that I bought before, and by the way, I will control the prices, or rent them to individuals at a low price, and the market will soon prosper.

"But I'm going to do a big renovation, turning it into a hotel, a hostel, and a restaurant, and when the town prospers, tourists will definitely come to it."

Foirth said in his heart: It's hard.

At least Foirth didn't see any hope, but she didn't want to discourage Hobert, so she didn't say what she really thought.

She plans to use her best efforts to help Hobart achieve this goal, even if it can't be achieved, it doesn't matter, they have tried.

……

South Continent, south of West Bailang, Khodis Copper Mine.

Elliott and the other family members were waiting on the side of the road early this day to greet the family elders who came to inspect.

Around nine o'clock, they finally saw a convoy of three carriages.

The convoy drove unhurriedly to the front and stopped in front of Elliott and the others.

Elder Calvin got down from the carriage in the middle: "Oh my God, how can there be so many wooden houses in the Khodis Copper Mine! ”

"That's where the slaves live," Elliot explained, "and living in a cabin helps them keep their strength up." ”

Although everyone knows that Elliott is a believer in the "founder", after all, the copper mine is a family business, and the "founder's" orders still need to be disguised.

Elder Calvin had come to inspect the operation of the copper mine, and after a brief greeting, the inspection process began.

After a morning of visiting, everyone had lunch together.

In the afternoon, Calvin summoned Elliott to the room he had prepared for a one-on-one conversation.

Calvin got straight to the point: "We need the help of the 'founders' right now. ”
