Phoenix Grand Lord

At this moment, Luo Wei had no idea what strange thoughts the knights and scholars around him were thinking.

Yu Zhi's insight can only see what can be seen, but it cannot see people's hearts and thoughts.

Luo Wei himself was also in deep thought.

Of course, he was not thinking about feelings or marriage, but the wives of the bell ringers.

Of course, he was not thinking about opening the bag for the bell ringers' fiancee, but thinking about the marriage of the bell ringers who had not found a wife.

Most of the bell ringers were still single, and they could only watch and beat the rhythm to cheer others up every night. Sometimes they were too busy and didn't even have time to beat the rhythm.

This situation cannot last too long.

Otherwise, those bell ringers without wives will go crazy.

In addition to building a large number of farmhouses for married bell ringers to live in, there is another problem that needs to be solved urgently in the internal affairs of Meilin Valley Manor, which is to get more female slaves.

The existing marriageable female slaves in Meilin Valley are basically married.

There are too many monks and too little porridge, and too many wolves and too little meat.

Now even 50-year-old female slaves have become popular.

There are still several single maids, but they are all civilians, while the bell ringers are still serfs.

The biggest difference between civilians and serfs is that civilians have their own private property, and their private property will be protected by the lord, while serfs do not have their own private property. Everything they have belongs to the lord.

Including food and accommodation, including their own lives, and including their wives, whether unmarried or married, all belong to the lord.

Therefore, these two classes are separated by an almost insurmountable mountain, and it is essentially impossible for them to intermarry.

Although there are always exceptions, in general, no civilian will voluntarily give up all their private property in order to marry a serf and become a slave that can be bought and sold at will.

The slave population of Merrill Valley, especially female slaves, must be expanded and supplemented as soon as possible.

The total population must be increased to about 400 people, and the number of bell ringers must be expanded to 200 people.

With a 200-man bell-ringing army, we will have more confidence to fight against Baron Edmund.

Only with decent military force can we fight a real war.

Although it is not easy to raise an army, and some people even need to marry widows to raise the army, it is a great benefit to raise a direct army.

While eating chicken wings, Rowe secretly planned the next infrastructure in his mind.

Before the banquet was over, Rowe left early and returned to his lord's tent to start planning the construction sketch of Merlin Valley.

At first, Merlin Valley only had an area of ​​6 Gil hectares, and other places were potholes and wasteland and piles of rocks. Under Rowe's new plan, these wasteland, piles of rocks and foothills will become the target of leveling.

In this way, Merlin Valley is equivalent to expanding to the second ring, and the usable land area will reach 12 Gil hectares.

When it is built to the fifth ring, Merlin Valley will be completely mature.

After drawing the new plan, Rowe asked James to summon the old bachelor Durdy and major craftsmen.

The old scholar Durdi was drunk, but when he heard the master summoned him, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He quickly washed his face, picked up a list of noble ladies and widows around him, and hurried to the lord's tent.

Seeing that other craftsmen were also there, the old scholar Durdi was stunned at first, and then hid the list of widows in his sleeves.

Seeing that everyone was there, Luo Wei immediately showed everyone the future planning sketch, and proposed to build 20 farmhouses, 1 constant temperature brewing workshop, and 1 primary city hall as soon as possible.

As for the lord's mansion, there is no rush.

After the farmhouse is built, just find a farmhouse to live in.

After the new plan was announced, the craftsmen complained.

Luo Wei directly offered 3 times the labor fee, and the craftsmen immediately became happy, saying that even if they died, they had to die loyal to Master Luo Wei.

Luo Wei then handed the entire construction project to the old scholar Durdi.

Old Bachelor Durdi gladly accepted the order.

After Luo Wei briefly counted the materials needed to build the farmhouse, he let the craftsmen leave, leaving only Old Bachelor Durdi alone.

Old Bachelor Durdi immediately understood the master's intention.

Now that there was no one else in the tent, Old Bachelor Durdi naturally took out the list of noble widows and noble ladies from his sleeve.

Luo Wei smiled and said, "You are worthy of being my bachelor. You know why I kept you."

Old bachelor Durdi said quite complacently, "That's right, sir. I dare not say anything else. As a bachelor, I am a professional."

Luo Wei nodded in appreciation, "I am very relieved to leave the internal affairs of Meilin Valley to you - read it."

Old bachelor Durdi cleared his throat, "Sir, this list is a bit long, and I arranged it in the order of the most cost-effective. If you hear something you are interested in, you can stop at any time and ask for details."

Luo Wei gave a thumbs up, "Professional!"

Old bachelor Durdi put the list in front of his presbyopic eyes and tried to recognize his sloppy handwriting, "Uh, the first one, Cather Ross, Baron Edmund's biological sister, a 40-year-old widow, slightly fat, very rich, and the most cost-effective. The second one..."

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Luo Wei's eyes widened immediately, "What the hell is this? What Cather Ross? Where is the thing I robbed? Don't tell me that I worked hard all night and robbed a widow!!!"

Old Bachelor Durdi was also stunned, "Master, don't you want to hear the marriage list of noble ladies and widows?"

Lowei was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table, "My lovely bachelor! What widow list do I want to hear! What I want to hear is the list of plundering benefits!!!"

"Ah? Master you..."

Old Bachelor Durdi was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Oh! I misunderstood! I thought...

"But Master, you should focus on marriage and reproduction! Now that it's said so, I really strongly recommend that you marry Baron Edmund's sister. Although she is a widow and has lost two husbands, if you can marry her, you can not only get a lot of property, but also repair your relationship with Baron Edmund. He will stop targeting our Merlin Valley because of his sister's feelings. "

"You know shit! "

In a rage, Rowe grabbed the ink bottle on the table and threw it directly at the face of the old scholar Durdy.

The old scholar Durdy had no time to dodge, and was hit in the face. His face was covered with blood and ink. He was trembling with fear and sobered up.

When Rowe saw that he was injured, his anger was half gone, but the remaining anger was still there: "Do you think that if I show goodwill to Edmund, he will not target me? What about the family? Even if I am his brother-in-law, he will not mind letting his sister become a widow again!"

The old scholar Durdy was so scared that he dared not say a word, and even dared not wipe the ink and blood stains on his face.

Rowe continued to curse: "Although you are not surrendering on the surface, your idea of ​​​​compromising to avoid being targeted is the idea of ​​surrender. The Ross family and I are irreconcilable! Since I dare to provoke a war, there is no possibility of compromise! I am not afraid of being targeted by him! I am even less likely to be so cowardly as to rely on marrying a woman from the enemy's family to survive!

"Don't even mention that she's a widow. Even if she's pure and kind, and everyone praises her like a saint, what does that have to do with me?

"I, Luo Wei Valentine, can marry anyone, but I won't marry a woman from the Ross family!

"Do you understand?!"

Old scholar Durdi said quickly, "I understand... The master can marry anyone except the woman from the Ross family."

Coincidentally, Xia Liz, who had just heard the angry curses from the lord's tent, was walking outside the tent and happened to hear the master and the scholar's words about "marrying anyone".

Xia Liz's heart suddenly jumped, and she didn't dare to lift the curtain and walk in.
