#412 - Arrangements for the territory
“My Lord, these are all the matters concerning the territory for this past month.”
Listening to the respectful words of Viscount Rhys, Ye Mo frowned slightly and nodded to indicate his understanding.
Over the past month or so, the development of the earldom has been very average.
Even though he had instructed Earl Karl and the others to vigorously exploit the mines and actively establish connections with major external merchant guilds before he left, the limited variety and scarcity of resources, coupled with the gradually declining prestige of the lord's family and the threat of the Blood Moon Pirate Crew, made it difficult for the Emerald Isle Earldom to develop.
Looking at these problems, it was clear that he was responsible for more than half of them.
For example, the scarcity of resources was due to his ransacking of the Earl's castle before he left.
As for the subsequent points, they were also caused by him personally.
After all, the Abyss of the Dead was where the inter-world teleportation array was located, and it was also his most crucial base here.
In the future, he would arrange for people to purchase rare and uncommon resources from Yanhuang, transport them from the Azure Snow Mountain Range teleportation array to the Abyss of the Dead, and finally transport them to Emerald Isle.
In this way, the Emerald Isle Earldom, which had very few material reserves, would be able to turn the tables in one fell swoop, and the merchant guild established here would inevitably become a highly sought-after entity in the Black Stone Duchy and even the surrounding countries.
Of course, doing so was not without risks.
After all, a big tree attracts the wind.
Without sufficient strength, even if one could continuously produce rare and uncommon resources, their merchant guild would only be lambs to the slaughter.
He had understood this very clearly when he was targeted at the Demon Spirit Auction.
Therefore, to protect the safety of the merchant guild and the earldom, he would later recruit many Domain-level subordinates from the Abyss of the Dead to be stationed here.
At the same time, the legions of those Domain-level undead powerhouses would also be brought along.
After all, individual Domain-level experts might not be strong enough to deter those who harbored greedy intentions towards the earldom.
Therefore, the legions of those Domain-level undead powerhouses had to be brought along as well.
In addition, for safety reasons, he also planned to have the two strongest among those undead subordinates, namely the Corpse Lord and the Giant Stone Gargoyle Lord, who could barely contend with Fifth-Order experts with their legions, have one of them stationed here.
If there were no unforeseen circumstances, he would probably choose to have the Giant Stone Gargoyle Lord come here.
Only with an existence of this strength protecting this place could he feel at ease.
Otherwise, if his home were to be stolen, it would be a great loss.
As for why Earl Karl could possess such a powerful undead creature, this was quite easy to cover up.
The Black Stone Duchy was different from the Light Spirit Kingdom.
In this wild sea area, strength and profit were always paramount.
As long as one did not actively provoke others, even an evil necromancer would not be of much concern to most people.
Therefore, if the Giant Stone Gargoyle Lord were to be exposed, Earl Karl could simply claim to have recruited a powerful necromancer.
As for why the established merchant guild would have so many rare and uncommon resources, it could be explained by discoveries made on outer sea islands during exploration.
In short, with a plausible reason and sufficient strength to deter opponents, the merchant guild's trade would surely flourish in the future.
After explaining the arrangements for the territory, Ye Mo turned his head to look at the other two and asked, “So, tell me about the major events that have occurred in the Black Stone Duchy or other countries in the past month or so.
Start with those that are related to us.”
Earl Karl and Viscount Eddie, who was in charge of internal affairs, exchanged glances, and then Earl Karl stepped forward, raised his head, and said seriously, “My Lord, during this time, the news most relevant to us is undoubtedly the actions of the Black Stone Grand Duke.
Since they confirmed the death of the Black Rock Sword Saint last month, they have sent many people to inquire about relevant information from me.
However, perhaps because I am the second son and have average strength, they did not make things too difficult for me.
They simply asked me as a matter of routine.
However, I heard that the Black Stone Grand Duke's side has probably guessed that the Blood Moon Pirate Crew is the culprit.
It's just that because they are not yet clear about the Blood Moon Pirate Crew's specific strength, they have not publicly announced this matter.
But they have already sent many people to inquire and investigate.
Two islands in my territory have been temporarily requisitioned by them.
Besides this, there are many other things related to the territory, but they will not have a significant impact in the short term, such as…”
Time slowly passed as Ye Mo sat, propped his chin with one hand, and listened attentively.
He was not surprised that the matter of killing the Black Rock Sword Saint had been exposed.
After all, the Black Rock Sword Saint was a Fifth-Order Saint Domain-level professional, a top-tier existence in the entire duchy.
The most likely suspect to kill such a figure, and a powerful one who had appeared in the western sea area of the duchy, was him.
After all, he had openly and directly broken through the city and killed the Earl of Emerald Isle before.
Although the strength he displayed then was still somewhat short of killing a Fifth-Order expert, how could the Black Stone Grand Duke's side believe that what he had shown at that time was his full strength?
In addition, the Black Rock Sword Saint's purpose in coming here was to exterminate the Blood Moon Pirate Crew.
Therefore, it was normal to be targeted.
After all, the captain of the Blood Moon Pirate Crew was a summoner who could summon thousands of powerful magical beasts, forming an army of one.
This matter had long spread throughout the entire sea area.
So, even if he wanted to hide his identity, he couldn't hide the fact that he killed the Earl of Emerald Isle back then.
“It's getting late.
Let's call it a day.
Go and rest.
I'll give you the specific plan tomorrow morning.” After Ye Mo's brain spun rapidly, he nodded slightly to the three people in front of him when he saw that the night outside the window was entering the early hours of the morning.
“Yes, My Lord, then we will leave first.”
“My Lord, your room is next door, and it has already been prepared for you.”
After saying these respectful words, Earl Karl led the other two out of the study.
Immediately, only Ye Mo and his spirit pets, Bai Ling and Bai You, were left in the entire room.
“It seems like I'll be busy.” Shaking his head, Ye Mo sighed.
He couldn't stay here for too long this time, at most three or four days, so no matter what he did, he had to prepare everything.
First of all, his main purpose in coming here was to make money, so the newly established Pioneering Merchant Guild had to become famous throughout the entire duchy, even the entire continent, and spread to all surrounding countries.
Only in this way could he rely on the unequal value of resources between the two worlds to earn huge profits.
But in this way, a stable base is essential, and the Emerald Isle Earldom is perfectly suited.
It's just that, now that the reputation has plummeted, and everyone thinks that the Emerald Isle family has fallen into disrepair, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain this stability, and because the territory is located in the southeast corner of the Black Stone Principality, and the mainland is located on the north side of the Black Stone Principality, this can be called the farthest place from the mainland.
Under such circumstances, if you want to trade from here with other regions, especially the many countries on the mainland, the route will be very long, and you will have to go through multiple noble territories along the way. If those nobles secretly attack, then it will be difficult to start this business.
If it were the past, relying on the prestige of the strongest earl, it would be possible to deter other nobles, but now, it is already a trace of remaining power that those nobles have not all taken action to test.
Da da da—
Fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table, making a dull sound, and at this moment, Ye Mo stopped his movements, his face becoming a lot colder.
"It seems that we still have to deal with those 'neighbors' around us first."
According to Viscount Rice, during this period of time, he has been interfered with by many surrounding nobles, or rather, all the members of the entire earldom have been probed by the surrounding "neighbors", such as ships being checked multiple times, or being temporarily intercepted, and so on.
Although the ships were finally returned and there were no detentions or attacks, it is hard to say what will happen next.
According to Earl Karl, many nobles have come to renegotiate the "toll" issue with him, which was unimaginable when the Emerald Isle family was the strongest earl.
Although the "toll" currently being negotiated is not very high, it is hard to say what the future holds.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of territorial stability or for the sake of profit, those nobles around must be dealt with properly.
As for how to deal with it, he, who owns the transaction contract, is already very skilled.
"Bai, Youyou, let's go to rest first." After saying a word to Bai Ling, who looked bored, and Bai You, who was lying on his shoulder, Ye Mo picked up Bai Ling and left the study to go to the room that Earl Karl had arranged for him.
The latest novels are available at Six/Nine/Book/Bar/First/Release!
Needless to say, Earl Karl still has a good understanding of his subordinates, and it is an understatement to describe the room he arranged for him as luxurious.
The layout of the entire room, the light source emitted from it is not actually a magical lamp, a common nobleman's appliance, but a high-level gem of the light type, and there is no need to say more about the other furnishings and items. He even suspects that these things are the things that the other party moved from the original Emerald Isle Earl's room.
Or were they taken out of the treasure house? But he took almost all the valuable things in the treasure house at the beginning, so it's hard to say.
However, he didn't care much about these things, so after taking the spirit pets into the room, he first drove away the maids and servants arranged by Earl Karl, and after taking a good wash, he hugged Bai Ling and fell asleep.
As for Bai You, nighttime is her most awake time, which is very suitable for cultivation and research on formations, so she will not let go of this time.
… …
The next day, early morning, Emerald Isle.
The sunlight scatters the morning mist, shining from the sky, and the entire island becomes much brighter, presenting a vibrant appearance.
Outside the Earl's Castle, under the Emerald Giant Tree, Ye Mo and Earl Karl and the others had arrived here early.
After observing the various magic herbs planted around, Ye Mo nodded in satisfaction.
He had known before that there were two outstanding resources on Emerald Isle, one was all kinds of ore, and the other was the numerous, rare and uncommon magic herbs.
The former is because there are many mineral veins on the island, so it can produce a lot of various metal ores, while the latter is because of this Emerald Giant Tree, which is more than 100 meters high.
This tree has not produced intelligence, but its powerful power and vitality can be said to be a natural treasure.
Because of this Emerald Giant Tree, it will automatically absorb the energy contained in the surrounding air, and then convert it into energy such as vitality that is more suitable for medicinal plants to absorb. Therefore, as long as farmland is cultivated around the Emerald Giant Tree and magic herbs are planted, most of them can survive and grow faster.
And this is also why Earl Karl's ancestors followed the first Black Stone Grand Duke to establish the principality. After determining this place as the territory, they called this island Emerald Isle, and he also changed his surname to Emerald Isle, and was called the Emerald Isle Earl by everyone.
After all, this Emerald Giant Tree is the real inherited treasure of the Emerald Isle Earl family.
And now, it really lives up to its name. Even when he came here, he searched and took away the precious and rare magic herbs, and even some ordinary and large quantities of magic herbs, he also took a lot.
But only a month has passed, and the various magic herbs planted here have already begun to show a lush scene.
"This place is pretty good. In the future, when Xiaoliuer is transferred, she can be allowed to come here, and by the way, transplant those rare spiritual plants that exist in her tree spirit space here. At that time, let her manage it personally, presumably those spiritual plants should grow better."
While muttering to himself, Ye Mo nodded secretly in his heart, becoming more and more satisfied with this area.
However, he is only here to take a look this time, and there are other important things to do.
After thinking about it, Ye Mo looked at Earl Karl and the other two who were following behind him with a flattering and cautious expression. He turned his head and said to them seriously: "Then I will set off. As for here, I will leave it to you.
You must remember to do what I said during this period of time, and don't do other things indiscriminately. After I finish processing, I will naturally give you new arrangements, understand?"
"Understood."
"Your subordinate understands."
Earl Karl, Viscount Eddie and Viscount Rice all nodded vigorously, expressing their understanding.
The things that the three of them need to do this time cannot be said to be simple, they only need to do some preparations, and if they can mess this up, without Ye Mo saying anything, they will feel incompetent.
Seeing the three of them answering neatly and seriously, Ye Mo nodded, then turned his gaze to the other side next to him, and nodded to the Purple Radiance Giant Bear who was guarding him.
Seeing this, Han Han immediately understood, and the super-order gravity control was released instantly. Under the control of power, Ye Mo rose into the sky with Han Han in the eyes of Earl Karl and the other three, and soon disappeared from their sight.
"The lord has already left, we should leave here too." Earl Karl said seriously to the other two.
Viscount Eddie and Viscount Rice nodded together and said: "Yes."
Not long after, under the Emerald Giant Tree, the spiritual fields where magic herbs were planted returned to their usual silence.
