Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

After reading the intelligence report, Su Li couldn't resist the allure of Felice, the territory's most beautiful woman, and engaged in a delightful morning cultivation session with her, both physically and mentally.

Considering Felice's delicate condition, Su Li treated her as gently as possible, but the blessing of the Dragon Blood Stone still sent her into a state of ecstasy and bliss.

This filled Su Li with a sense of conquest; this number one beauty was simply a jade doll! He was afraid she would melt even if he held her in his mouth.

After enjoying the ultimate pleasure under her service, Su Li said to her during the meal, "You don't need to rush your knight training. I will prepare tools for you to awaken your extraordinary abilities."

Felice, who was holding a water glass and sipping gently, blushed instantly. She shyly hid her pretty face behind the glass and whispered, "I will listen to your arrangements, Lord."

Su Li couldn't help but smile. The daily intelligence system had truly found him a perfect female courtier. This beauty from Suland possessed the gentle and graceful qualities of an Eastern beauty, truly following her husband wherever he goes.

As he was thinking this, Laun and Vandal entered the castle together.

Su Li had already finished eating, so he stood up, stroked Felice's smooth hair, and said, "You need to replenish your strength. Eat slowly, don't rush. We're going out now. If you have nothing to do after eating, you can go to the general store to see if they have any new furniture or supplies."

After saying that, Su Li placed three gold crowns in her hands and said, "The castle is still relatively poor and barren, with a shortage of supplies. Buy anything useful you see. We should improve our lives."

The territory's famine and poverty were beyond ordinary imagination. In this desolate and impoverished land, everything was basically self-sufficient, so various materials were in short supply.

Even Su Li, as the lord, couldn't get new clothes if his were torn, and could only mend them with linen. And even linen had to wait for the plants in the flax fields to mature before it could be woven.

It could be said that everything in this territory prioritized cultivation and warfare. Armor, swords, and plows were abundant, but daily necessities were scarce everywhere.

If a family could offer three brand new quilts as a dowry for a wedding, that would truly be considered a wealthy household.

So, as Su Li walked out with Laun and Vandal, he asked, "Has a formal merchant caravan not arrived in the territory yet? We urgently need commercial exchanges to promote the territory's prosperity. You don't want my castle to be so simple, with one quilt covering me from spring to winter, do you?"

Watching Su Li's departing figure, Felice clenched the three gold crowns in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with joyful light. She whispered to Hilde, "The Lord is truly a very gentle person."

Hilde propped her chin up with a heroic posture, overlooking the delicate and beautiful woman, her tone cold: "The Lord is only so gentle to those close to him. I hope you can also work hard and be a useful person to the Lord."

"Oh~ I understand." Felice nodded weakly. Under Hilde's aura, she felt particularly small.

The high-ranking chief attendant's heroic spirit and aura were completely different from the gentleness she showed when kissing her in bed last night.

Hilde frowned slightly, unable to see what was so special about this beauty that could help the Lord ascend to the throne.

No matter how she looked at it, this young girl was a somewhat weak and shy girl next door. Apart from her peerless beauty, she had no outstanding qualities in terms of cultivation aptitude or aura.

Hilde pondered for a moment, then stopped scrutinizing her, directly picked up the rune sword and stood up, saying, "I still have work to do. You can do as you please."

After Hilde left, Felice finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her future new home, she smiled happily. Then she looked at the three gold crowns in her hand. This was a huge fortune that she had never possessed before, and she excitedly began to plan how to improve everything in the castle.

Outside the castle, Laun was also discussing this matter with Su Li: "Lord, it is the consensus of all of us that opening up trade routes and exchanging goods can promote the prosperity of the territory. We have already started working on this as soon as we entered the territory."

"Calculating the date, the Balan Tangborn family's caravan should be returning soon. When the halfling caravan returns, Chief Kurt should also be returning from Maleburg. Our territory will usher in a batch of slave-catching groups and trading caravans."

The Balan Tangborn family's caravan is about to return?

This was the best news for Su Li. Su Li still remembered that they had borrowed 60 gold coins from the territory to recruit ogre construction teams and purchase goods.

If they returned, it would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the construction of the territory.

Su Li directly led the two ministers to the front of Bjorn Bay, watching the dam being built, and said: "When summer comes, we have to prevent Tal's hurricanes and rainstorms. This god is not as gentle as the Goddess of Dawn. Under its influence, the moose jays in the coastal area have already flown over our territory. The hurricane's impact on the territory is foreseeable."

The hurricane is about three or four days away from landing along the coast of the Gray Mist Sea. Calculated at a normal speed, it will not take more than ten days to reach the north-central region of the Border Prince Territory. Hessen Territory may not be directly affected by the hurricane, but a heavy rain is probably inevitable.

So flood control is the top priority.

Vandal pointed to the rapidly constructed dam in front and said, "The ogres' construction efficiency is very fast, and more than thirty miles of dams have been built. If everything goes well, we will build a dam about two hundred miles long before the rainstorm arrives. The drainage ditch under Bjorn Bay has covered an area of 40 miles, about 60,000 mu of plains."

"After this rainstorm, the summer sun will dry the land, which is just soft and suitable for development. We plan to grab the summer harvest while reclaiming new fields, at least 20,000 mu of farmland."

This plan immediately filled Su Li's heart with ambition. Now 60,000 mu of plains are affected by water conservancy projects. When the water conservancy facilities are completed in the future, at least 300,000 mu of land will become fertile fields.

At that time, the water conservancy facilities here will be complete, with fertile fields, crisscrossing paths, and it will be the largest granary in the territory.

Three hundred thousand mu of fertile arable land, no matter what you plant, is enough to support the scale of a barony.

According to the calculation of one husband governing a hundred mu of land with five family members, only three thousand households can fully manage this land, which is about the scale of 10 villages.

It is not difficult to have ten farms and settlements in a barony.

If Su Li is more generous and divides some of the land to his knights, and let them manage the territory in other places, there will be 5~10 affiliated fiefs.

Then the overall strength of the Hessen Territory is also at the upper-middle level in the barony, and it is definitely no problem to pass the empire's assessment.

A broad road has been planned in front of him, and Su Li is full of ambition, and said: "Let the engineers direct the slaves to work at full strength. Are there any problems with the project now?"

Most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ says ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Vandal nodded and said, "There is a problem. The ogres suffered heavy losses on the battlefield. Six ogres died on the spot, and three ogres were seriously injured. Therefore, the territory's construction progress has been seriously affected."

"And the territory's medicinal materials have been almost exhausted, and our subsequent treatment is difficult to continue."

In this way, the territory's medicinal field is another urgent matter.

But fortunately, this problem did not bother Su Li for long. In the afternoon, near dusk, when Su Li led people to patrol beside the reservoir, preparing to hunt moose jays, the dwarf's rough and high-pitched voice came from the north.

"Lord, Lord! Our excavation under Moonlight Highland has results."

A carriage stopped abruptly on the country road next to the reservoir, and a dusty dwarf jumped down, holding a seed the size of an avocado in both hands and presenting it to Su Li.

Laun immediately introduced to Su Li: "Lord, this is the dwarf engineering master Kulgan Ironbeard, whom we rescued from the Broken Toe tribe. He is a scholar of the Ironbeard clan, has obtained qualifications in the Dwarf Engineer Guild, and has extraordinary attainments in engineering and machinery manufacturing."

Su Li looked down at the dwarf with pigtails braided from his beard. His round eyes were like soybeans, looking a little dull and cute, and he was obviously easier to approach than the stubborn and grumpy personality of Borros Dragonhammer.

Dwarf engineers are highly educated members of outstanding engineering guilds, and their achievements in science, gadgets, and technology are unparalleled.

The fact that he didn't switch to being a butcher shows that his craftsmanship is still trustworthy. Generally, those engineers who become butchers are because their works have huge flaws and caused significant losses.

Su Li first smiled at him and said, "On behalf of Hessen Territory, I welcome the dwarf's joining. For nearly three thousand years in the empire, our human relationship with the dwarves has been unbreakable, developing a brotherly friendship. In every major battle, as long as humans are in trouble, the dwarves always join without hesitation. I believe that in our territory, we will continue to get along closely."

Kulgan had a somewhat upright personality, and immediately asked when he heard the words: "Then Lord, can you give me a few of the troll corpses you obtained in this battle? I think building engineering equipment is more important, of course, brewing troll wine is also important."

Su Li couldn't help but smile. Dwarves really love alcohol like their lives.

"I have already agreed with Borros Dragonhammer on the troll corpses in this battle, and they will all be handed over to him." Before the dwarf could shout in frustration, Su Li then said: "However, the patrol team should bring back four river troll corpses tonight, and I can give them to you."

Sure enough, hearing Su Li's words, Kulgan, who was looking frustrated, immediately cheered up and said, "Praise Lord for your generosity! I will definitely take out powerful engineering equipment to repay your reward."

Su Li nodded with a smile, then looked at the avocado-like seed in his hand. This is the seed of the Blessed Purple Vine. Even touching its surface can feel the vigorous vitality contained within.
