Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"Sir, you did not visit the new ship launch ceremony at the shipyard today. I don't know what the young nobles who just arrived were shocked... It's so funny."

After finishing his daily work report, Reiner smiled and told his "Dead House" Lord that interesting stories happened in the dock area this morning.

Since Harvey passed the special approval to allow the Southern Grizzlies to lead the nobles to send young talents from their family to the Puhuan Leading Public College to study in the Advanced Teaching Department, many people have arrived one after another in just half a month. .

Considering that these people may have a weak position and their background and status are mixed, Asdaren did not mix them with local students, but instead opened a separate teaching class, which even clearly distinguished between accommodation and daily life. Come.

Without local identity certificates, this group of aristocratic students has restricted their travel. Except for the college and market areas, other areas are not allowed to enter easily, otherwise they will be temporarily inspected and expelled by the patrol police. They have committed many knowingly and have been punished. May be deported directly to the southern border.

This led to great discomfort among these little nobles who had long been accustomed to drinking and having fun at the family fiefdom.

"In just half a month, nearly half of the people who voluntarily left and were forced to repatriate..." Reiner curled his lips with some disdain.

"The rest are more orderly guys. When I heard that I could be allowed to visit the launch ceremony of the new boat in the academy, I got up early with interest and ran to the dock area next to the market area to watch the fun."

The result was of course the scene of a sailless ship cast by steel that was so shocked that his mouth couldn't even close.

When I saw the new ship launching the magic power unit and rumbling on the highway on the wide river that was frozen by more than half, these young nobles from the southern border who had originally arrived to join in the fun because of boredom had a horror on their faces. The expression completely frozen.

The Jackdaw Mountains originated from the Shenji Mountains, and there are many water systems that allow ships to travel freely, flowing through various parts of the Grizzly Bear Territory located in the border areas, which naturally also includes the fiefdom where their family is located.

They immediately couldn't help but start to imagine what kind of bears would the powerful soldiers carrying magic bow and arrow weapons on the ship ignited when these steel-cast ships were sailing rapidly along the rushing river toward the territory where their family was located. War.

Some active noble young men have fully understood why the family has to work hard to put themselves into the list of the study team and sent them to the fief of the wasteland lord with great difficulty.

Compared with the Grand Duke of St. Valen and the Radiant Church hundreds of miles away, this wasteland lord with a strong ship, cannon and a powerful army is the real mountain that is above each of them. "King of the Frontier".

...

Harvey naturally had no time to pay attention to the various complex thoughts of the Grizzly Leader's little nobles. The conflict between the church and the Federation on the border between St. Valen and Daes became increasingly fierce. The countries in the central southern border took sides and made their positions completely. The wizard kingdom that supported the Federation, or the secular priesthood that belonged to the vassal church, all began to prepare for their own efforts to secretly accumulate power.

The entire central southern border is no different from a huge powder keg, as if it is just waiting for a sensitive signal, and then a large-scale full-scale civil war will be about to break out.

Harvey, who was guarding the wasteland, could not completely ignore the situation in the southern border. Although the grizzly leader, who seemed to be actually controlled by him, was located in the border area of ​​St. Valen, no matter how the nobles and the church carried out the union. Even if you have an offensive, you won’t be given priority to turning around and dealing with yourself.

But St. Valen and the Church are not fools. Even if they try their best to deal with the forces of Daes, they will never completely forget the thorns that pierced behind his butt. There will definitely be a source of succession. The extremely small-scale harassment is mostly mainly based on sending assassins to carry out "beheading operations", and burying spies and spies to disrupt the stability of people's hearts in Harvey's fief.

There is really not much time left for Harvey to develop with confidence and accumulate his own strength.

"Population... is still a problem of population." Harvey scratched his messy short hair anxiously, muttering to himself like a madman, "Without a population, you cannot cultivate enough talents, and without talent, you cannot obtain high-quality quality The labor force, lack of labor... the various development plans and production projects of the territory cannot expand..."

Reiner and Asdaren looked at each other, and sighed silently. The devilish desire for the population of the Lord, who was loyal to him, was no longer accustomed to him.

Whenever Harvey falls into this state, Asdaren takes the arduous task of pouring cold water on the lord to cool down. "Sir... even if we absorb a large amount of people, we don't have enough food to support them at the moment. You also know that the war is about to break out, and even the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce will not be able to purchase appropriately priced food from the central southern countries in the near future. "

Harvey leaned on the chair with a little depressed disdain, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the map of New Taipei, which had just been replaced and hung on the wall of the study - the plain of the Eastern Valley Basin surrounded by mountains.

There was not originally included in the development and development plan in recent years, because the reason was very simple - even evil orcs could not cross the original area, and it would not be much easier for Harvey to send people to explore.

Transportation is a big problem first. Although the eastern basin seems to be a straight line distance and a pioneering road, if the whole journey is flat and forested, it will be possible to reach the soldiers in one day on a magic bike, but it is necessary to If you cross a mountain that is even taller than Jackdaw Ridge, you will never be able to do it.

The war beast vehicle has the function of crossing mountains and ridges, but unfortunately the number is limited and the carrying capacity cannot replace the alchemy camel beast.

"In any case, the plan to absorb population must not be put on hold." Harvey closed his eyes and pondered about the past, but decided not to give up easily, nor would he delay his own development momentum.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"You still follow the steps we planned to do so, sending secret police officers to the southern Grizzly Leadership counties and towns to recruit labor and provide free housing to absorb poor tenants from the noble fiefs."

In this regard, Harvey had long greeted the new Earl of Fagen, asking him to notify all the vassals under his rule to allow the tenants who were unable to pay rent and had no land to leave freely without interference.

"As for the area outside the grizzly neck..." Harvey reached out and knocked on the table, smiling at the two loyal subordinates, "It depends on the chambers of commerce that signed a trade contract with us, which will bring us What a surprise."

These large chambers of commerce that have been wandering in the southern countries all year round, and the power of the chamber of commerce is spread throughout the towns and counties. It is the best port for population recruitment and publicity for Harvey.
