"Okay, Master."

Seeing that the young master was in good spirits, the maid bowed and left to inform him.

After a while, old Joseph came to the bedroom in a hurry.

"Master, how is your health?"

Old Joseph, who was already over fifty years old, heard his voice before he saw him.

"There was an accident during the test. It's okay."

Gudern probably had some guesses about his coma, but there was no need to tell them about this, he could just find an excuse to get over it.

For old Joseph, finding an excuse can only be half-believed.

However, for the young master to summon them after waking up, there should be other things besides 'reporting safety'.

"Els should have told you the summary of this trip, right? What do you think?"

What Gudern was talking about was the encounter with the orcs last night. Although Old Joseph had already prepared for it, he still didn't expect it to be so thrilling.

"To be honest, I didn't expect to encounter the orcs here, and also in the form of invasion and lurking."

"Master, do you know what this means?"

Looking at Old Joseph's serious look, Gooden asked blankly.

"what does that mean?"

"This means that war is coming soon."

"ah?"

"ah?!"

Old Joseph's words immediately stunned Gudern and Els.

It's just that we encountered invading orc scouts at the border of the empire. Is this the rhythm of starting a war?

"As a tribe of orcs who were driven into the desolate land by the Orrea Empire, they always want to counterattack across the Yongshuang Mountains and the Northern Desert Sea, and enter the northern border of the empire."

"Since the founding of the Empire, at least two-thirds of the wars in the past have started in the north. When the Empire beat them to pain, these orcs would curl up and lick their wounds, but after a while they would return to the border. .”

"The last time a war broke out was more than thirty years ago. Counting the days, it's time for these bastards to jump out and cause trouble."

Old Joseph slowly told the history, and at the same time told Gudern the dangerous signal.

He really didn't know about this period of history.

After thinking for a moment, Gudern slowly said.

"I can't control the battle between the two countries, but last night I discovered a problem in the chat between Dedalo, the cavalry captain in Kanehara City."

"The orcs have sneaked into the country. There are hundreds of people. How do they solve the problem of food and drink?"

"Although Qingyuan Snow Ridge is such a large area, with countless forests and rich flora and fauna, so many people are quietly staying next to me. Don't you think it's strange?"

"And in recent times, I haven't heard of any nearby prey being poached or residents disappearing on a large scale. It's impossible for the orcs to eat tree bark as a vegetarian, right?"

Gooden's words instantly made Old Joseph's scalp tingle. He did not expect such a thing to be so profound.

"Master, do you think someone is carrying..." Before Old Joseph could finish speaking, Gooden quickly waved his hand and denied it three times.

"I didn't say that. Don't frame me. I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know."

After being interrupted like this, Old Joseph also fell silent, and the bedroom suddenly became quiet.

But after a while, the "gurgling" sound coming from Gudern's quilt broke the atmosphere in the room.

"Hey, old Joseph, go and rush the kitchen. I'm almost starving to death."

"OK."

Seeing that the young master was awake and in good spirits, Old Joseph got up and went to the kitchen to take a look.

After leaving the bedroom, Gooden was the only one left in the room.

Thinking back to last night's encounter and Old Joseph's words, Gudern couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that he cannot be at peace with being a border lord.

Living in a stable society since childhood, fights are considered rare 'dangerous' events.

war? This kind of thing is too far away for him, but now he has to face it.

After getting up, changing his clothes, and eating some hot food in a hurry, Gooden plunged into the study.

He is not afraid of things like war. The descendants of Yan and Huang have a history of fighting in their bones.

However, in order to face this crisis, advance planning is very necessary.

Otherwise, if you really wait until war breaks out to prepare, it will be too late by then.

For this crisis, Gudern already has six words of mantra in his mind to deal with it.

Build high walls and hoard food!

As for the other three words at the end, he didn't need to add them. He was already the 'king' within the territory.

Just as the word "build a high wall" literally means, he plans to build a city wall around Qingyuan Town.

Places like Qingyuan Snow Ridge are not frontline passes and need to be heavily guarded.

Even if there were orcs able to sneak in, the number would not be too many. He only needed to protect the core area of ​​Qingyuan Town.

If it were built using local conventional methods, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible to complete it in a few years.

But now the brick kiln factory is about to be completed and put into production, which gives the entire plan a lot of room for development.

The last three words of the mantra are also very clear. You can never go wrong in hoarding food.

With food in hand, even if a war breaks out, the impact on Qingyuan Town will be much reduced.

And this should happen sooner rather than later. Once the war breaks out, it will inevitably affect food prices.

When the time comes, it will be several times more difficult to gather food than it is to stock up now.

In addition to the arrangement of these six-character mantras, Gudern also had to consider one thing.

manpower.

The total population of Qingyuan Town itself is not large. Coupled with various subsequent construction and developments, the problem of lack of population will become more serious.

To deal with the danger, in addition to building a city wall, you also need a force capable of guarding the town.

Otherwise, if the city wall is built and defended with his current manpower, if it is spread out, it will probably take about ten meters to fill it up.

"Sigh... It seems like we need to find someone to help with this kind of thing."

Gudern sighed, took out a piece of letter paper from the table, thought for a while and then wrote the content.

After a while, the content of the letter was almost completed. After adding the signature and seal, Gudern handed it to the soldiers below and asked it to be sent to Jinyuan City overnight.

Autumn has just begun, and winter is less than three months away. Issues of population expansion and urban construction must also be completed within these three months.

In order to reach a sufficient population before winter, it is inevitable to ask for help from Kanehara City.

Chapter 57 Maid Armor

At noon the next day, Feroz of Kanehara City received a letter from Gudern.

After briefly reading the contents of the letter, Feroz left and handed it over to his direct leader, City Lord Bernard.

"Gudern is quite generous. He will give five silver coins to introduce someone to Qingyuan Town. If I move the entire Jinyuan City people there, will he have to give me a gold mountain?"

Listening to Bernard's joke, Feroze just lowered his head slightly and did not answer.

"If he wants to recruit people, help him. The city's population is a bit overpopulated, so we should reduce it a bit."

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

With these words, Feroz then responded.

With the permission of the top leader, a recruitment notice soon spread in Jinyuan City.

"Have you heard? Qingyuan Town next door is recruiting workers. It is said that the lowest salary in the past was one silver coin per day."

"Is it true that one silver coin? Can a poor place like Qingyuan Town really afford such a high salary? Are you here to fool us?"

"It's all posted on the public notice board, so it shouldn't be possible to fake it, right? And I also heard that Lord Qingyuan bought an iron ore at an auction a few days ago. Is this a shortage of money?"

"Is it true? Someone is putting things like iron ore up for auction?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, my nephew's sister's brother's father was at the auction house at the time, but the iron ore thing is not very interesting. I heard that there is a special metal that caused a lot of people to fight for it..."

For a time, the news that there were high-paying jobs in Qingyuan Town spread throughout Jinyuan City, and even the residents in other territories next door were more or less interested.

Autumn has just begun, and after the harvest season comes the long winter.

There are not many jobs available throughout the winter. If you want to survive the winter, it depends on your savings in the first half of the year. Now that there is such a high-paying job right in front of you, how can they not be tempted?

Qingyuan Town, Castle.

The impact of the coma did not interfere with Gooden's normal routine. He got up early in the morning and started tinkering with the armor.

The blacksmith shop is now working full-time for him, and the first batch of manganese steel ingots were delivered last night.

This batch of manganese steel Gooden is all planned to be used to make armors. There are five sets in total, including Eileen's special maid armor.

While refining the original compound, Lao Yue came to the laboratory and handed a piece of collected data to Gooden.

"Are the sizes here?"

Looking at the sizes collected in his hand, Gooden said casually.

Last night, he used the excuse of changing clothes for everyone in the castle to collect everyone's sizes so that he could make special modifications and customizations.

"Not yet, the boot camp hasn't sent them yet. This part is for the maids and escort soldiers."

After flipping through the size parameters, Gudern found the item from Erin, extracted it, made a backup, and then stuffed it back into the original data pile.

"Give these to the tailor in town. There are two clothing designs on my desk. Let the tailor shop make two samples."
