Martial arts masters in the wizarding world

It has been a month since the last war with the devil.

During this period, Byron experienced another qi and blood reflux, and he regretted being so powerful. He could only stay at home because his power was so damaged, but after this, the pure yang inner breath became more and more pure.

The development of the Siberian Territory has been relatively calm this month. All territorial affairs are carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Yin Laien. Byron only participates in the discussion and decision-making of major matters. He is a lord who knows how to delegate power.

If you want to grasp it, you must grasp the big things. Otherwise, worrying about everything and being entangled in mundane affairs will easily lead to premature aging. You can see how tired Yin Lai Eun is when he is only in his early fifties and already has gray hair.

During this month, there have been constant attacks from demonic disasters, but they are just stragglers, and they are not to the point where Byron needs to suppress them. Lei Suo can lead his troops to put an end to the problem.

The construction of the outer perimeter of the castle has been officially completed. During this period, Byron exchanged some "rock mud" from the Earth Goddess Sect. This material mixed with the soil can greatly strengthen the toughness of the city wall.

Byron also asked Yin Laien to hire a designer to plan the space and roads outside the castle. Demonic disasters must be resisted, but the development of the territory must not be left behind.

In Byron's vision, he could use this opportunity to build a town outside the Baron's Castle, and divide it into various areas, such as a commercial area, a military area, a craftsman area, a cultural area, etc., after the evil disaster has completely subsided.

The farmland was leveled and paved with stone bricks.

However, it is still far from Byron's vision. Everything has to wait until the demonic disaster is completely subdued before we can really let go and put all our efforts into use.

Today, more than 500 people are housed in the entire core castle, more than 3,000 people are housed in the outer areas of the territory, and hundreds more refugees have been received this month.

In order to save space, Byron moved the military training place outside the city, and provided all the city for the residents. When the wealth increases in the future and the conditions are mature, a training ground can be built outside the city.

Byron is not prepared to reduce the recruitment of refugees. Although his territory is now overcrowded and the living space capacity is close to the upper limit, temporary tents can still be set up within the walls.

Although the living environment in a tent is not as good as a house, it is still much better than in the wild. As long as we can provide these refugees with food that they will not starve to death, they are already grateful.

After all, there were too few nobles willing to accept them. Feeding a bunch of untouchables with food for nothing was not profitable at all in the eyes of other nobles.

However, Byron was different from what they thought. These free laborers could be engaged in some simple construction work, and those who were educated and capable could also serve as talent reserves for the management of the territory.

The evil disaster will eventually end. When the time comes, these people will always be put to use, and they must take a long-term view. In Byron's view, population is an important resource at any time, and is an important resource for any trade, production, and war activities.

the basis of.

Of course, the premise to support all this is that Byron is not short of food.

Byron's unintentional move also won him a good reputation among the Earth Goddess sect. The elders of the sect believed that Byron was a benevolent lord who showed respect for life.

Under the convocation of Yin Laien, Byron will preside over a new territorial affairs meeting, at which various specific affairs of the territory will be studied.

"Then, let's talk about any questions you have."

Byron sat at the head of the long table, leaning against the chair with his hands folded, ready to listen to the reports from the ministers.

This form of meeting is the main way for nobles to manage their territory, and the participating members are generally important figures in the territory.

Today, there are a total of six people attending the Siber Territory meeting, Byron, tax collector Yin Laien, Sheriff and garrison leader Lei Suo, inner guard Lawrence, and two representatives of the minor nobles, Davis and Robert.

In addition to Byron himself, there are three people who are his. Even if Lawrence generally does not participate in discussions and express opinions, the three to two can still effectively control the outcome of the meeting.

"According to the planning and design, the road surface in the territory needs to be further smoothed."

Yin Laien spoke first, and he mainly put forward opinions on the construction of the territory.

"Now that the walls outside the fortress have been built, we can continue to improve the internal structure and build the prototype of the town."

"This part of the cost requires an initial investment of about 300 Galanxi gold coins."

"Um."

Byron listened carefully to Yin Laien's suggestion, which coincided with his plan.

"So what do you think?"

Lei Suo was the first to agree. He had no reason to agree to the suggestions put forward by Byron and Yin Laien.

"We have no objection."

The two aristocratic representatives also agreed knowingly, after all, they did not need to pay for it.

Lawrence's participation in the meeting as an inside guard was just an arrangement made by Byron to prevent emergencies. Generally, he did not need to participate in the discussion.

Well, in order to ensure that the results of the meeting reflect democracy and comply with procedures, Lawrence will exercise his voting rights when necessary.

"Then pass."

Byron nodded and announced, and the document on the side immediately recorded the content in Eucalyptus.

The next person to report is Leisuo.

"I need to build a new batch of ordnance, including arrows, stirrups, etc. I want to form a cavalry."

Yin Laien frowned when he heard this. The cost of building a team of cavalry is quite expensive, and the main cost comes from horses.

The only ponies produced in the Siberian Territory are short ponies, which are not suitable for use as war horses and can only be purchased from abroad.

Byron supported Reso's idea of ​​forming a cavalry, but he also thought about the wealth of the territory and felt that it was not feasible at this time.

"Yin Laien, how many gold coins do we have now?"

He is going to ask the tax officer about his financial situation.

"Less than five thousand Galance gold coins."

Yin Laien responded truthfully, obviously the number was not high.

The daily expenses of the territory cost hundreds of gold coins, and five thousand gold coins would not last long.

Especially now that the mining of copper mines has stopped, the main income of the Siber Territory has been cut off, and everyone is basically resting on their laurels.

However, Byron and Yin Laien were not too worried. They both knew that there was a mithril vein underground in the copper mine. As long as they could be mined a little, it would be enough to solve the current dilemma.

Only Byron, Yin Laien, Leisuo and Lawrence knew this, but the two representatives of the small nobles were not clear about it. Byron would not let outsiders know the truly important secrets in the territory.

"Ordnance creation can be carried out. The formation of cavalry should be postponed for the time being, but you can start training first and purchase horses later."

Byron set the tone, everyone voted by show of hands, and the agenda was adopted.

"Lord Baron, we want to increase the daily expenses of some nobles, and at the same time recruit some slaves from the refugees."

Davis spoke, he was fighting for the interests of the small nobles.

Byron sneered in his heart. After these idlers moved into his castle, they feasted and drank. He provided all their food and clothing. They spent a huge amount of money every day, but they were still not satisfied.

Moreover, news often spread that they raped female slaves and whipped servants, which can be said to be a form of dominance.

Most of these country nobles are just worms, and Byron will not let them have their way. If this group of people were not too unbearable, they would definitely be Byron's priority. After all, they will be needed after the disaster.

Continue to manage the original fiefdom.

But now, Byron has other ideas.

"Now that the territory's financial situation is not rich, I think we'd better advocate frugality."

"I will not use any slaves. Each of the other nobles is only allowed to have at most one personal slave."

Byron led by example. Not only did he reject Davis' proposal outright, but he also wanted to cut expenses and reduce slaves.

Yin Laien, Lei Suo, and Lawrence immediately raised their hands to show their support.

Davis was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and was quite sullen, but after calming down he could only flatter him: "The Baron is really a frugal lord. It is a blessing for the people of the lord to have such a lord."

His wish failed.
