Chapter 181: Base Area

Duke Amberton's face was somewhat embarrassed, and some words still couldn't be said too clearly, otherwise everyone would not look good on face, not to mention that he was still a duke, but now that such a big deal was in front of him, it was impossible not to eat it with his greed, so he had to agree to Savan's conditions.

"That's right, you offer to buy all my territory, of course it's good, but after all, such a big deal is too big, and there is no suitable reason, and I can't explain it to the king, so well, marriage is just a suitable reason, and when the time comes, I can also say that I will entrust the territory to my daughter and son-in-law with the king, so that I am not afraid of what others say. After the Duke of Amberton finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly.

However, everyone's faces were full of disbelief, there was a way to find an excuse to prevaricate the king, there was no need to take his daughter, even if there were many daughters, there was no such tie-in. Seeing that everyone didn't believe what he said, the duke couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that these people are not easy to fool, and it is probably not good to tell the truth.

The Duke of Amberton shrugged and said, "That was one of the reasons just now, and what else...... It is...... This, I think you are quite rich, you can buy so much land in one go, you must be making a big deal, if there is a chance in the future, I also want to participate in a share, if my son-in-law is among them, will it not be ...... Haha......" In the end, he was embarrassed and had to cover it up with a burst of laughter.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, this reason sounds a bit like the truth, and it is also in line with the greedy character of this duke, but he can tell everyone these truths, which shows that although this person is greedy for money, his heart is not bad, at least he has no intention of harming everyone.

Sawin slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! Now that the Duke has told the truth, then this deal is done!"

"Haha...... Great!" the Duke smiled from ear to ear, and slapped his two palms vigorously, apparently he did not expect things to go so smoothly, and the matter was settled after only one meeting.

But Larry was not happy, after all, he had taken his life's work on it, and he asked the Duke with some concern, "My lord, I don't know which daughter you want to marry to me?"

The Duke of Amberton waved his hand and said happily: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have a lot of daughters, you can choose when the time comes, haha...... What a happy day today!"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, this is simply selling their daughter, it is so easy to say, it is similar to selling goods, it is estimated that most of his daughter is ugly, otherwise he would not be so casual...... Larry, in particular, heard the duke say this, and his face turned green, almost like he had suffered a bitter gall.

The next step is to go through the delivery and other formalities, and Sawan will hand over these matters to Larry to deal with, and he will take people to follow the duke's subordinates to various places in the territory to actually inspect the goods, which is somewhat of an inspection. On the other hand, Sawan sent Lawn back to Bianshan Town as soon as possible, to inform Hortz and the others, ready to leave at any time, once the matter here is settled, Hortz will wait to bring the team over, and this will be their base in the future.

At the same time, Sawan also asked Naros to secretly investigate how much property the duke had, to some extent, he and the duke's interests have been tied together, although he paid him a huge sum of two million gold coins, maybe he can find a way to get it back in the future, he Sawin is not wronged.

After a few days of inspection, Sawan found that the duke's territory was actually very good, and he could grow a lot of crops, which should have been a place where agriculture was very developed, and if it weren't for the duke's greed, the tenant farmers would not have gone elsewhere, resulting in a large amount of farmland being barren.

Sawin calculated in his mind that the next most important thing was to find a way to get the population back, without the population could do nothing, no matter how big the place was and how rich the products were, it would be useless if there was not enough people to work.

However, Savin also knew that he had little experience in this area, and that he desperately needed someone who knew how to deal with government affairs and strategy to help him, and if he was allowed to deal with these things on his own every day, not only would he not be able to do it well, but he would soon get bored. Sawan asked Lyanna, "You have traveled so far and wide, do you know anyone who is proficient in government affairs and knows how to strategize, and this person has to be idle at home and have nothing to do?"

Lyanna tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied, "I'm afraid there are no ready-made people, but you can go to the academy to find them, maybe there will be such talents." ”

"Academy, what is an academy?" asked Savan, with wide eyes.

"Academies are places where scholars are trained, and many countries have places like this, where young people are trained to study and serve as advisors to kings and nobles in the future. Lyanna spoke vaguely, apparently she didn't know much about it either.

Sawan turned to Serena again, "Do you know where there is an academy?"

Selia nodded and said, "I know, our family has its own bachelor advisor, who is mainly responsible for handling the tax collection in the territory. ”

"Where did you get your bachelors, and can you please invite a few for me?" asked Sawin innocently.

"Haha, how is this possible?" Celia said with a smile: "Bachelors are not something you can invite if you want to, our family has been donating money to the Rhea Hamm Academy in China, so that we can invite outstanding talents in the academy, these bachelors are talents that are competing to be invited by various countries." ”

Sawin frowned when he heard this, it turned out that it was so difficult to find talents, excellent talents had long been contracted by the kings and nobles of various countries, and very few people were left in the lower classes, and I am afraid that no one would look down on a small force like himself.

Seeing Savin's sad face, Selia comforted him and said: "You don't have to be sad, although it is difficult to invite the bachelors, it is not completely without opportunities, and there is more than one academy on the mainland, there will always be some fish that slip through the net." ”

"Why don't I kidnap a few for you?" Lyanna teased.

Sawin didn't get angry when he heard this, but thought about it seriously and said, "This is also a solution? ”

Celia couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this bad idea, she said to Savin: "Don't listen to those bad ideas, these bachelors are very high, if you dare to do this, not only will you not be able to recruit talents, I am afraid that all the colleges will regard you as an enemy, as long as the bachelors who serve all countries are against you, I am afraid that all countries will regard us as enemies, I advise you to find a way to invite, don't make these crooked ways." ”

Selia's words made Savan's face flush, and he had to say honestly: "Yes, I see, I'm just assuming." With that, Sawan turned around and glared at Lyanna fiercely, who rolled her eyes and ignored Sawan.

For a while, Sawan couldn't think of any way, so he had to bury these thoughts for the time being, and wait until he had the opportunity to talk about it later. After a few days of inspection, the duke's territory was basically turned to the same, this land is really not small, but unfortunately the land is vast and sparsely populated, and many places are barbaric, especially in the southern coastal area, there is no one to see for dozens of miles. Sawin sighed in his heart, if such a long coastline is not used, this duke has really wasted this sea of water.

Sawan has already made up his mind, and then he wants people to build a port here, bring maritime trade here, and make this place prosperous as soon as possible, only by prospering the economy can the population be attracted back, and many things will not work without the population.

The group finished their tour and returned to the Duke of Amberton's castle, just as Larry and the Duke's men had already prepared all the formalities, just waiting for the Duke and Sawan to sign off.

The new week starts with a request for votes!
