Heroes of Silver Moon

In the autumn, Simon led the newly recruited soldiers, a thousand people marched towards the Gru Mountains.

The spring wheat has been harvested, and the barbarians who robbed a lot of food and consumed a lot of people returned to the Gru Mountains to continue dormant, and the number of barbarians near the Gru Mountains suddenly decreased a lot.

This is also calculated by Simon. Once the looting period is over, he will lead the new army in the direction of the Gru Mountains, train the recruits, and prepare for the expansion of the territory.

Time is precious, Simon is like this, Harris is like this, it is impossible for a beautiful woman to wait for them for decades.

For at most five or six years, the families of the two beauties will consider which family to marry in order to sell their daughters for a good price!

Deborah, Alyosha, Garken and others are also eager to open up their territory, because they want to get a piece of land of their own. The sooner they open up their territory, the sooner they can feel at ease.

In this case, it is of course impossible for Simon to develop slowly, and he must maximize the time benefit.

Before the new army was formally established, Simon asked the three of Cirillo to detect the terrain, draw a simple map, and report the progress to him every month.

With the simple map in hand, Simon and the others would not run around like fools, and chose a flat land near the river, where the new army camped.

From then on, this is their new home, and it is also the place where the territory was first developed.

There are several on the map, and Cirillo suggested it as the initial camp. Simon naturally had his own considerations in choosing this place.

First, it is close to a river, and it is very convenient for the new army to get water.

Second, the terrain here is flat, with a five-meter-wide river on one side and a rocky mountain on the other. It is suitable for building a large camp, and you only need to focus on the other two sides to prevent enemy attacks.

The third is the stone mountain mentioned just now. This stone mountain can open up a stone quarry, and the next development of the territory, Simon and others are absolutely inseparable from stone materials.

Therefore, Simon will let the new army be stationed here.

"What are we going to do next? Should we build the castle first, or use this wooden camp first to recruit people to open up farmland?" Deborah asked.

The steps to open up a territory usually start with the construction of a castle, just like the Alpine Fort, where the ancestors of the Hawke family built a stone castle, and then gradually opened up the Alpine Territory.

There is only one function of the castle, and that is to hide!

Can't beat the barbarians? It's ok! As long as he retreated into the castle with his soldiers, the barbarian basically couldn't do anything to the lord. At worst, he would leave the newly opened territory after a while.

When the barbarians leave, the lord can continue to open up the territory. Anyway, there is plenty of time, as long as the old life is still there, and a little bit of strength is accumulated, there will always be a day when the territory is opened up.

Simon shook his head and asked Deborah, "Do you know of any way to quickly recruit people?"

If you want to establish a prosperous territory in a barren land, the army is indispensable, and so are the people!

Deborah responded with a wry smile: "This place can't help being shitty, and there are barbarians haunting it every day, how could people come here!"

The implication is obvious. If you want those people to come, you must first make them feel safe. There is nothing that can make people feel more secure than a strong castle.

Simon glared at Deborah, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "I just asked if you have a solution, not if you can do it!"

If he follows the thinking of this world, then Simon has no possibility of quickly expanding the territory, so he must break the rules and use more Blue Star knowledge.

Deborah's face froze, and she replied with a sneer: "Yes, there is. When we cooperated with the Royal Chamber of Commerce before, they said they could help us win over the people!"

"Oh! What's the price?" Simon was slightly moved.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce is the official chamber of commerce of Silvermoon Kingdom, and it is also the most powerful chamber of commerce in Silvermoon Kingdom, with branches all over the kingdom.

If they are willing to help, the speed of gathering people in the new territory will definitely be greatly improved.

However, there has never been a free lunch in this world. If the Royal Chamber of Commerce wants to pay, Simon must promise a generous return.

"Five gold coins per person!" Deborah said helplessly.

"Damn it!" Simon was a little dumbfounded, five gold coins per head, even buying slaves directly is cheaper than this!

However, he also knew that slaves were different from the people after all, and a group of slaves would never be able to make the territory prosperous.

"I see. When the income from the paper workshop arrives in the spring of next year, first use 100,000 gold coins to ask the Royal Chamber of Commerce to help us recruit 20,000 people." Simon said helplessly.

Without the people, no matter how many fantastic ideas he has, the territory is doomed to be desolate.

Deborah looked a little embarrassed, and said: "The Royal Chamber of Commerce said that they will help us gather the people only if we have built a complete defense system!"

Simon suddenly felt a little bit pained. He knew that the Royal Chamber of Commerce would do this for the sake of reputation.

If a group of people were recruited and their lives here were precarious, it is estimated that the reputation of the Royal Chamber of Commerce would be tainted immediately. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

As a chamber of commerce, what they value most is reputation!

"Defense system, defense system..." Simon looked at the simple map in his hand, and gradually fell into deep thought. Deborah and others were waiting for his order.

Looking at the terrain distribution on the map, as if thinking of something, Simon's eyes gradually lit up, and he felt that he seemed to have a solution.

"Call Cirillo and the others back!" Simon suppressed his excitement and said.

Although they felt a little inexplicable, Deborah and the others still resolutely carried out Simon's order and summoned the three of them back using the contact method left by Cirillo.

"Master Simon, are you looking for us?" After several months of exploring the terrain, several months of eating and sleeping in the open, the three of Cirillo looked dusty.

Simon didn't give them an order, but asked them to take a hot bath first, change into clean clothes, and after resting all day, he summoned them again.

The method of winning people's hearts is very immature, and the experienced Xililuo and the three can see it at a glance.

But they were still very moved, because Simon was the holy son of the church, even if they treated them as nothing, they had to be loyal to Simon without hesitation.

And now that Simon is doing this, it just shows that he attaches great importance to and loves this group of subordinates.

Summoning the three of Cirillo again, Simon was not polite, and said straight to the point: "I need you to go again, mainly here, here and here, you must detect clearly, and find a suitable place to establish a pass!"

Looking at the several locations pointed out by Simon, Cirillo instantly understood his intentions. The Holy Son wanted to use the terrain to establish passes at these locations and enclose the entire area.
