It is a
good joke that a merchant who buys wood is smashed to death by a valuable black nanmu.
At least the tavern in Bloodstone Town now has people telling this joke every day, and whenever someone talks about it, it can cause the guests in the tavern to laugh, and the air is full of happy atmosphere.
But the most unfortunate thing about this was the lumberjacks, whose employers died directly, worked hard all day, and no one paid them.
As for the black nanmu, because Sergei, who bought the black nanmu, was smashed to death, this black nanmu is considered an ownerless thing, and it still belongs to the local lord, Count Veronica.
Bloodstone Town was not called Bloodstone Town a few days ago, it was originally just a wilderness without any name.
But the lord who opened up the land here, Lord Count Veronica, decided to name this place Bloodstone Town, hence the name.
At this time, Bloodstone Town had already gathered a large number of people, from all walks of life.
There are indentured farmers who have signed contracts to become the private property of the lord, as well as various merchants who come from afar, and adventurers who are attracted by the lord's land.
It was as if overnight, a large number of people came to this Bloodstone town.
"Have you heard, the timber merchant named Sergei is also too stupid to run to the left and right when the tree falls, but runs behind him, so as not to be smashed to death."
"This timber merchant who has been a timber merchant all his life actually ended up smashing the fallen tree to death."
People in the tavern share the joke and laugh, and it is not uncommon for timber merchants to be killed by wood.
Each tavern is the place where the three religions and nine streams gather the most, and the place where all kinds of hell jokes are the most.
At this time, the people in the Bloodstone Town Tavern had already begun to turn the unfortunate death methods of various local people into jokes.
But Sergei's death was not an accident, or it was an accident.
The sudden wind when the black nanmu fell, and Sergei's sudden stupidity before he was smashed to death, so many coincidences mixed together, so that Sergei died without any doubt.
Even if other secret guards came to investigate the cause of Sergei's death, the final result was just an accident.
Xin Yu didn't want someone to investigate in his territory, so he thought of a way to kill the secret guard who came to investigate.
As for whether the death of a secret guard here will arouse the suspicion of the entire secret guard organization, even if the secret guards doubt it, this is just an accident.
"Lawrence, how many people is my territory now?" Xin Yu inquired about the current situation of his territory in his lord's mansion.
Those who were responsible for managing the affairs of the territory were all administrative officials hired by Xin Yu from the School of Administration, and most of these people were commoners, but after professional study, they were professional in managing the territory for the nobles.
For commoners without extraordinary strength, becoming a good administrator was their only chance to get ahead, and if they could join a powerful nobleman and be reused, their status would be even higher than some low-level nobles.
"Lord Count, your territory now has a population of three thousand, half of whom are displaced people who have come to join you voluntarily, and the other half are merchants and adventurers from all over the world, who want to get a piece of your territory."
The administrator named Lawrence calmly answered all Xin Yu's questions, he was a high-achieving student in the School of Administration, although he was still very young, but his administrative ability was comparable to those older administrators.
"Now that the news that you have been recruiting sharecroppers has reached those displaced people, I am afraid that more and more displaced people will come to you in the future, and now there may be insufficient farmland in Bloodstone Town." Lawrence pointed out the current problems in Xin Yu's territory.
"Then let Ender and them go to the forest to clear the land." There are also many areas in Xinyu's territory that are primeval forests, which are all potential fertile fields.
Lawrence did it immediately after receiving Xin Yu's order, and his mobility was very high.
Lawrence also knew that although the lord he served looked like a thirteen-year-old girl, the power that this lord possessed was definitely not something that a little girl could have.
Therefore, in dealing with Xin Yu, Lawrence did not dare to have the slightest disrespect and foolish behavior.
And Lawrence also knew that if the noble rights he served were stronger, he could also stick a piece of light as an administrator.
Xin Yu stood on the high tower of his castle, looking at the current situation of Bloodstone Town.
At first it was only a few low villages, but now it has become a town, all thanks to the magicians of the civil engineering department.
Xin Yu felt that it was necessary to hire another engineer who planned the city to help him design Bloodstone Town, and there would definitely be more people living here in the future.
The biggest advantage of Xin Yu using Veronica's identity is that he can communicate with many nobles of the Rhaegar Empire.
Although Emperor Ivan II was the only master of the Rhaegar Empire, and the whole world belonged to him, the nobles obviously did not think so.
After Xin Yu showed his wealth, many nobles came to get close to Xin Yutao, wanting to win over Xin Yu.
In the eyes of those nobles, Count Veronica was able to open up so much land in the primeval forest, and he was already able to show the power of hard rain.
However, Xin Yu kept pretending to swing from side to side, neither completely throwing himself at those nobles nor completely towards Ivan II.
This swing from side to side made some people very dissatisfied, especially the noble council, which was a council controlled by the upper aristocracy, and a large number of lower and middle nobles joined it.
This council of nobles could be seen as a loose political alliance, and those nobles joined it with only one purpose, that is, to confront Emperor Ivan II and prevent the emperor from continuing to encroach on the interests of the nobility.
The people of the noble council had secretly asked Xin Yu to choose his position more than once, telling Xin Yu that loyalty to the emperor would not lead to good results.
In the eyes of those people in the noble council, their land and titles were made by their ancestors, and they were never given by the emperor, so why should they listen to the emperor.
However, there are also some nobles who did not join the noble council, such as the Marquis of the Blood Lion, who held part of the military power of the Rhaegar Empire.
However, although the Marquis of the Blood Lion has never joined the noble council, he has a very good relationship with several large nobles in the noble council in private.
Xin Yu realized that this Blood Lion Marquis was also leaving a way back for himself, although the Blood Lion Marquis was loyal to the emperor, he was still a marquis and a nobleman after all.
Now Xin Yu knows what he should choose.
