My Empire War Game

Chapter 246 The messenger of the noble council

Most of the ecosystem in the secret realm has been damaged, and it will take some time to re-establish it, but after having thirty-three steel golems, Su Lun just provided materials, and then let Taling direct these golems to work, only some steel Sullen and Hathaway do the work that the golem can't do.

The working capacity of more than 30 steel golems has exceeded the engineering team of thousands of people. These steel golems are all powerful and tireless. After handing over the task of repairing the secret realm to Taring No. 1, Su Lun began to prepare the planting area.

In the planting area, he is going to plant some commonly used magical plants, but he doesn't have many seeds of magical plants in his hands now, so he can only collect them and plant them at the same time. Moreover, the work of planting magical plants cannot be done by steel golems. It can only be done manually. Many magical plants are dangerous. Ordinary people can't plant them. They can only be done by wizard apprentices.

Suren didn't set up a wizarding academy, so naturally he didn't have so much free labor, but he also has his own way. Alex's harpies are very good. Although they are not wizard apprentices, they are not bad. Plants are still ok, the only problem is that the number of people is a little small.

Such a secret realm is more than enough to support a wizarding organization.

In the planting area, Su Lun handed over a dozen magical plant seeds, such as the seeds of Ningshen flower, golden thorn grass, and silver star grass, to the harpies for them to plant. Many places in the planting area are also not repaired, but these are not in a hurry.

Perhaps when he is strong enough, Sullen will establish a wizarding academy.

After returning from the secret realm, Su Lun finally remembered that the messenger from the Kingdom of Florence was still waiting to see him. Su Lun also guessed a bit about the messenger's purpose, and most likely it was still a question of knighthood.

"Let the messenger of the Kingdom of Florence come to see me." Su Lun said to the attendant beside him.

"As ordered."

Soon, the attendant brought a middle-aged man in his thirties to Su Lun's study.

"Good day, Your Excellency Su Lun." The middle-aged man saluted gracefully.

"Good day, I'm sorry to have kept Mr. messenger waiting for a long time, the territory has been created, and all kinds of things have been neglected." Su Lun said sorry, but there was no expression of regret on his face.

"Suren's business is busy, we can understand."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Robert Monroe, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Suren." Robert said with a smile.

"Sit down, Mr. Robert."

"I don't know what the messenger came to my backcountry this time?" Su Lun invited him to sit down and continued.

"Your Excellency Su Lun is so humble, even a child in the Northland has heard of the title of Pearl of Zhenbei City Northland." Robert shook his head and said.

"Now the bards in Karth City are singing about your heroic deeds. You are very famous in the northern provinces. I thought they were exaggerating, but after I came to Zhenbei City, I realized that, The rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest, you really created a miracle to build such a large city on the wasteland in just one year."

Hearing Robert's compliment, Su Lun instantly became more vigilant. As a kingdom messenger, Robert had no need to curry favor with him, but now he has put his attitude so low, who would believe him if he didn't ask for it.

"Sugar, rum and paper in Zhenbei City are in short supply in the entire Kingdom of Florence."

"Hehe, what you see is only the appearance. Now Zhenbei City is almost unsustainable. In order to prevent those monsters from fighting back, I must form a huge army. Now the number of troops in Zhenbei City accounts for one third of the total population. Now, what's more important is that these soldiers are not recruited farmers, they are all professional soldiers, and the monthly expenses make my flesh hurt." Su Lun shook his head and said, although he was complaining, it was a kind of muscle-bright behavior. .

"This kind of pain, many people can't experience it if they want to experience it." Robert shook his head and said.

"I represent the noble council to invite you this time." Robert said with a smile: "Your Excellency Suren, you have successfully opened up your territory and developed it very well. The noble council has recognized your achievements after research. You can design a family crest belonging to your own family, and go to Carter City to be knighted."

"Do I remember that the criterion for success in determining whether to develop a territory is three to five years? I haven't met the assessment criteria yet." Su Lun was not surprised by the recognition of the noble council, but asked very calmly.

"According to the kingdom's standard, it does take three to five years, but your territory is developing very well. The noble council has specially approved your town north city after research. You don't need to wait for three years." Robert shook his finger and said.

"So that's the way it is." Su Lun nodded and agreed with this statement, but he knew that in fact, this thing has long since become a piece of paper, and some big businessmen want to obtain noble status, the best way is to buy one Zhang Kaiyuan ordered, and then found a place to develop a pretense, and then paid for the noble council to let them recognize their noble status. They didn't care about the territory, but for a noble status.

"Of course, you have to know that we are also taking a lot of risk by doing this, so we need your support." Robert winked at Su Lun and made an expression that you understand. It's just that Robert is going to be disappointed. He and the noble council don't know that Sullen has never thought about getting their recognition.

From the very beginning, Sulun planned to build a new kingdom. Join the House of Lords and gain ownership of the pioneering territories they recognize, as well as a title of Earl of the House of Lords, which Sullen had no intention of accepting from the start.

If he accepts their titles, it means that Su Lun joins the Kingdom of Florence. If it's just for the title, it's just his legendary strength, and he doesn't have to bother to develop his territory in the Northland at all.

However, Su Lun has no plans to turn against the Kingdom of Florence now. After all, most of the trade routes leading to Zhenbei City now need to pass through the northern provinces, and Zhenbei City will get a large number of people from the northern provinces every month. Turning your face and blocking the road will not only reduce the caravan by more than half, but also interrupt the recruited refugees.

Of course, even if they turn their faces, there will still be caravans coming to trade with Su Lun, but the price will definitely be affected at that time. They will take the opportunity to lower the price, and then use the excuse of the border blockade to sell at a high price and earn high profits. There is absolutely no doubt about this, whether it is the history of the previous life or the history of this world, there have been such cases.

The most typical example is the sea ban policy of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life. On the one hand, it frantically prevented the country from opening the sea, and on the other hand, it was crazy smuggling. With the help of the sea ban, all competitors were killed, and then they completely monopolized the unimaginable benefits. .

"Thank you so much, but there are too many things in my territory now, and I can't leave it for the time being, so I can't go to Calente City to receive the title reward." Su Lun said with great joy at first, and then a look of regret. The expression, the acting skills can almost take the golden man.

"This"

"However, in order to thank the noble council for its help, I can give you three trade quotas. Each quota can buy 100 catties of white sugar and 100 barrels of rum from Zhenbei City every month." Su Lun spilled out bait.

How many people are in the noble council? Suren doesn't know, but after the three trade quotas are given to them, there will definitely be a fight. As long as there is enough interest in the noble council, they won't care who you are. These quotas are enough. The noble council has been fighting for a while.

As for the issuance of three trading places, it is completely no loss for Su Lun.

Since last month, the sugar beets planted in Zhenbei City began to mature in batches, and the output of the sugar factory in Zhenbei City has been rising steadily. A thousand catties of white sugar are produced, and this amount is still growing. Su Lun estimates that the output of white sugar will exceed one ton in two months at most.

The more sugar there is, the more trade quotas are naturally needed. Giving them three quotas can not only show friendliness, but also bring benefits, so why not do it.

Hearing that Su Lun could give them three trade quotas, Robert was also overjoyed, knowing that the noble council had been jealous of the previous few caravans that monopolized the sugar trade in Zhenbei City, and thus gained a lot of money. If it wasn't for the great nobles behind those caravans, they would have taken action long ago, and it would have been better to get the three places given by Su Lun now.

"Of course, these three places are also conditional." Seeing Robert's uncontrollable excitement, he smiled in his heart, "Zhenbei City is going to train some grass-roots officials, and there are some scholars who are lacking to act as teachers, so I hope that the nobles who have won the places will help me. Find some scholars to teach in Zhenbei City."

"They don't need to be well-known scholars, as long as they can teach basic education."

"No problem, Your Excellency Su Lun, we will soon send the scholars you need." Hearing Su Lun's request, Robert didn't care at all. Although there are very few literate scholars in this era, in the aristocratic circle, There are not a lot of such scholars. After all, many people study these things to serve the nobles, and even many of the nobles have received education and can act as teachers. As long as they are willing, they can easily find hundreds of scholars. .

"So happy to cooperate." Su Lun said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation." Robert also smiled, his expression as if he had made a huge profit.

Su Lun smiled inwardly, although you make money, I will never lose.
