From Baron to Lord

Without money, the speed of development would naturally slow down. This is why some territories take decades to develop.

Because they don't have money. Not everyone is like Allen, with a rich family and three major, hugely profitable industrial chains providing a constant stream of financial support.

Even Allen, after a series of sweeping actions, still encountered financial difficulties. "It seems I need to find a way to make money…" Allen said, rubbing his temples.

"Lord, although the north has high-quality grasslands, we don't have many cattle and sheep to graze…"

"Lord, the latest batch of warriors' weapons and equipment hasn't arrived yet…"

"Lord…"

Allen listened to the officials' reports, his head swimming.

After everyone finished reporting, Allen returned to his study to rest, feeling dizzy.

"Allen, what's wrong? You seem unhappy?"

Lucy walked to Allen's side and said.

Allen sighed weakly: "Lucy, the territory is facing difficulties in all aspects at the beginning stage. The biggest difficulty is a lack of money."

Allen was speechless. He initially thought he was wealthy enough, but after just one month of developing the territory, his treasury was almost empty.

Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help but want to start another war. He still thought war was the fastest way to make money.

"Money?"

Lucy blinked her eyes. As a Holy Fairy, she knew more about plants and the spirits of nature. When it came to money, she didn't understand much.

In fact, Allen had many ways to make money. Lucy could easily catalyze some magical plants that would allow him to make a fortune.

However, Allen didn't have this idea for the time being. After all, if the Holy Fairy was exposed, the consequences would be severe.

"It seems I can only slow down the pace of development a little."

Allen sighed.

720 As he pondered, he turned his attention to his system.

After completing the Skywolf City construction mission last time, the system issued two more missions. The first mission was for Skywolf City to have a population of over 100,000, which was why Allen had previously emphasized reaching a population of 100,000 first.

After completing the mission, Allen received a reward of 50,000 experience points.

The second mission was to cultivate farmland. Allen didn't need to say anything; the commoners would work hard to cultivate it.

Of course, because Allen's territory had expanded countless times, the farmland cultivation mission was the same as before: a timed mission. However, considering the changes in Allen's territory, the time was extended to three months.

Now, a little over a month has passed. Although the progress of cultivating farmland is not slow, there is still a large amount of farmland in the territory that has not been cultivated.

Firstly, there are not enough people, and secondly, there are not enough farm tools.

"First solve the agricultural problem. Agriculture is the foundation and is related to my mission."

"As for farm tools, well, there's no need to buy them at all. Just have the Treants help directly make a batch. This saves time, the quality is good, and it doesn't cost any money."

Allen's thoughts began to wander: "Wait, I can completely have the Treants form a factory themselves, specializing in the production of various wooden products!"

"Including the ships I need now, the Treants can solve it!"

Allen's eyes lit up at this thought. After completing the main city, Allen brought the Treants, Minotaurs, and Centaurs to live in the plains near the Stratholme Mountains. Now it seemed that his consideration was immature. "With the help of the Treants, it seems that there will soon be enough farm tools. As for seeds, well, Lucy, can you find some crop seeds for me?" As the number one agricultural productivity force, the spirits of nature possess the ability to catalyze crops, but they need enough seeds. "Seeds? Of course, as many as you want." Hearing this, Lucy pulled Allen to the location of the reserved field in the castle.

She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and was silent for a second, as if praying. The next moment, a huge vine plant appeared in the field in front of her, with many, many flowers on it.

The flowers quickly bloomed, and inside were not stamens, but plump seeds.

"These are wheat seeds, these are barley seeds, these are corn seeds, and there are pea seeds…" Lucy opened her eyes and said, pointing to the flowers blooming on the vines. "…I just thought you had a lot of hidden abilities, Lucy."

After a slight surprise, Allen immediately showed a bright smile. With the Holy Fairy around, it seemed that in the future, he could ask Lucy about agricultural problems first. This was the fastest solution. Allen touched Lucy's head: "Good job, Lucy. You are my little helper." Lucy immediately narrowed her eyes and enjoyed Allen's caress.

Allen didn't waste any time. He immediately found a maid to classify and put away these seeds, and then asked people to notify Sparrow and (cfbh) Agricultural Officer Bax.

Soon, Finance Officer Sparrow, who was recently worried about money, and Agricultural Officer Bax, who was worried about agriculture, appeared before Allen. "Lord, what are your orders?" Sparrow said respectfully.

"Sparrow, cut down the funding for buying seeds and farm tools a bit," Allen said with a smile.

"Lord, there is a large amount of fertile land in Skywolf Territory waiting to be sown!"

Allen's words made Agricultural Officer Bax look a little anxious. If there were not enough seeds, it would cause a large area of ​​the territory's land to be wasted, and at the same time, Skywolf Territory would not have enough food for the winter. "Don't worry, Bax. If the Lord says so, it is naturally the Lord's idea."

Compared to Bax's anxiety, Sparrow seemed much calmer. Sparrow believed that Allen would never do anything meaningless.

Based on his contact with this great Lord, this Lord should have found a way to solve the agricultural problem. "Okay, Bax, I know you're in a hurry. Look, what is this?" Allen pointed to the bags full of seeds on the side. "This is… seeds?!"

Bax looked shocked and showed a trace of doubt at the same time. Didn't you say that there were no more seeds in the territory? Why does the Lord have so many here? "Lord, what are these seeds?" Bax asked curiously.

"Bax, haven't you heard the rumors in the city?" Allen smiled.

"Rumors?"

Bax was slightly stunned. He had just arrived here not long ago, and he was not particularly interested in rumors because he was working hard. "Yes, there is a rumor about me that I am a person watched by the gods. As long as I want it, I can get it." Allen showed a confident smile.

Bax frowned slightly: "Lord, I am not clear about the rumors, but these seeds are not enough…"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw huge vines rising again in the field in front of him. On the vines were huge flowers, and in the flowers were plump seeds. "This?!"

Bacchus widened his eyes, a look of utter shock on his face: "What's going on?!"

He rubbed his eyes, as if thinking it was his imagination, but he quickly realized it was real. "Is this enough?" Allen said calmly.

Bacchus swallowed hard: "This… this was made by you, my lord?" Allen smiled slightly: "You could say that."

Bacchus was instantly stunned: "This… this is a miracle! It must be a miracle! Lord Sparrow! The Earl can perform miracles?!"

Sparrow glanced at Bacchus and said: "Bacchus, if you swear to always be loyal to the lord, I think you will see even more miracles."

Bacchus was dumbfounded. More miracles?!

Are miracles so easy to see??

When Bacchus left, his head was still spinning. Such precious things as seeds were obtained so easily, and there were also large amounts of wheat and peas, these precious seeds.

And what shocked him the most was that these seeds seemed to be gifts from the earth, with an endless supply.

Bacchus even suspected that the warehouse of the Earth Mother Goddess was under Wolfsburg. Besides the gods, who else could store so many seeds?

Before long, Bacchus brought people from Wolfsburg to take out a large number of seeds. Looking at these plump and sufficient seeds, Bacchus quickly revealed a smile.

As an agricultural officer, what could make him happier than obtaining enough seeds?

"My lord, how did you get these seeds! Looking at the quality of the seeds, they are all top-quality seeds. Heavens, how many gold coins did this cost!"

"Praise the lord! This must have cost a lot of gold coins!"

"Oh, he truly is a great lord watched over by the gods!"

Bacchus sat on the carriage carrying the seeds, listening to the people below talking, and suddenly became a little dazed.

A person watched over by the gods?

He shook his head slightly, and the image of that lord appeared in his mind again. "If I want it, I can get it!" These words lingered in Bacchus's heart for a long time.

Bacchus suddenly felt that his lord seemed a little different from the people he had served before. "Swear allegiance…" Bacchus was a little silent.

Watching Bacchus and his party walk away, Allen and Sparrow retracted their gazes. The two were standing at the castle gate at this moment.

"This Bacchus really doesn't know how to appreciate favors. I've already hinted so clearly, but this guy still refuses to be loyal!"

Sparrow said with some dissatisfaction: "If it weren't for the fact that this guy used to be loyal to a marquis and has good abilities, I would have told him to get lost!"

Allen waved his hand when he heard this: "Sparrow, there's no need. Bacchus is a capable person. I need talent to help me. As for the issue of his loyalty, ha ha, Sparrow, do you think I need to force him to be loyal?"

Sparrow immediately lowered his head respectfully and said: "Ah! No, my lord, that's not what I meant. Your greatness and wisdom are simply beyond the understanding of those guys!"

"Alright, Sparrow, now let's talk about the issue of agricultural tools. I have an idea. I want to build a huge factory separately for the treants and carpenters under my command, specializing in making wooden products!"

"As you know, treants are magical creatures. They can create all kinds of wood, and even wood with some magical abilities can be made."

"This is a huge market. Treants can make products almost perfect."

"And the agricultural tools and ships we need can all be made by treants."

Allen's words immediately made Sparrow's eyes light up: "Heavens, my lord, you are a genius! How could I not have thought of using treants? Moreover, our costs are extremely low. Treants only need wood and consume magic power. We don't even have to pay the cost of raw materials."

Sparrow immediately revealed a smile.

"That's right, Sparrow, go and gather all the carpenters. I'll wait for them in the central square. I heard that these carpenters have always been thinking about the treants."

Sparrow bowed and saluted when he heard this: "Yes, my lord, it will only take an hour."

After saying that, the finance officer immediately rode his horse and galloped towards the place where the carpenters lived.

The huge city forced him to be so urgent.

An hour later, dozens of carpenters were already standing in the entire central square, waiting for Allen's arrival.

Before long, Allen rode Silver Moon Wolf slowly over. "It's the lord!"

"The lord is here!"

The carpenters immediately made way.

Allen quickly walked to the front of the carpenters.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to summon you at this time," Allen said very gentlemanly and politely.

"Perhaps you have already heard that I summoned you this time because I want to build a factory, a factory with the purpose of producing wooden products, which requires everyone's help."

Allen's words stirred everyone up.

A factory with the goal of producing wooden products!

Is the lord going to value them?

It's hard to imagine that the lord would value them so much! "My lord, is what you said true?" Someone asked.

"Of course, I won't deceive you, otherwise why would I summon you?" Allen said with a smile.

"But my lord, we people can't do anything…" Someone asked with some doubt. . . . . . . Seeking flowers. . .

"Don't worry, have you forgotten how you built this huge city?"

Allen's words stunned all the carpenters, and then a trace of excitement appeared in their eyes.

"My lord, are you saying we can…"

Someone said cautiously, but before he could finish speaking, Allen had already interrupted him.

"That's right, just as you think, this time our factory will have treants joining us, so, gentlemen, who is willing to join us?" Allen's tone was calm, but in the ears of those carpenters, it had the strongest sense of temptation!

Treants!

All the carpenters' breathing became heavy.

In fact, after they had cooperated with the treants, they didn't want to leave the treants at all.

… 0 Only carpenters know that treants are simply the best partners for their profession.

Praise the gods, there is such a perfect species in this world!

Praise the lord! He was able to find such a perfect species! "I'm willing!"

"I'm also willing!"

"And me!"

"Me, me, me!"

The carpenters immediately raised their hands excitedly.

"Well, very good, gentlemen, I hope you can become the pride of Wolfsburg," Allen said with a smile. "Lord, don't worry!"
