Lord: Have many children and many blessings, build an empire from baron

The banquet lasted until late at night.

The guests were drunk.

The servants also fell backwards.

On such a festive day, Lynn, as a lord, inevitably allowed people to drink a few drinks.

Today's heroine, Estride, was originally sitting side by side with her new husband.

Now it's gone.

About half an hour ago.

She was called away by Julia and Liya's two wives.

When they extended an invitation to Estree.

Don't forget to squeeze her eyebrows at her husband on the side.

Lynn understood.

Before the wedding night, I'm afraid they wanted to freshen up Estree.

In addition to petal baths and aromatherapy.

According to Julia's personality, it is estimated that it is inevitable to give Estride a 'pre-job training'.

I am afraid that at this time, the three wives were laughing and playing in the lord's bathroom, sharing the experience of the boudoir.

Old Billy took advantage of Lynn not yet leaving.

Hurry up and celebrate with a wine glass.

Today is too lively, and as an old housekeeper, there are naturally many more things to worry about than usual.

So much so that it was the evening that old Billy found the opportunity to personally pay tribute to Lynn.

Lynn smiled and nodded to him.

Drink all the wine in your hand.

In the face of the butler's speech, Lynn just brushed it off.

But when old Billy wanted to leave there.

Lynn grabbed him.

Compared to today's lively and cheerful atmosphere, his heart is always shrouded in a haze.

Lingering.

This made Lynn feel bad.

"Billy, how much money do we already have in our vault?" Lynn sniffed.

Old Billy recalled a little: "Seven hundred and eleven gold coins, twelve hundred silver coins, and more than three thousand copper coins.

In Portia's treasury, he has never been so rich! "

The conscientious butler always has an extraordinary memory of the amount of money.

Old Billy remembers it even more.

In the decades that the previous baron and the previous baron ruled Portia, neither of them had accumulated so much wealth.

"How much does it cost to maintain daily expenses in our territory?" Lynn asked again.

Old Billy pondered for a moment: "Portia's main expenses are nothing more than the salaries of the mine workers and the subsidy expenses of the territory.

There are also salaries of soldiers and castle servants, as well as castle maintenance costs and daily supplies.

I had to find out the ledger for the detailed number, but now I can tell you the total number.

Seventy-seven-eight-eight adds up to spending at least twenty-three gold coins a year, my lord. "

The income within the territory has indeed increased.

But as Lynn continued to improve the quality of living at the castle, so did the expenses.

Now the money he spends in a year.

It is the tax revenue of the past twenty years in Portia.

Lynn has not forgotten this.

But fortunately, compared to his income, this is only a drop in the bucket.

Because of the money that costs next.

That's the real big deal!

The reason why Lynn suddenly asked old Billy about the details of the balance in the vault.

It was because he had to start thinking about using his savings to recruit mercenary groups.

Count Gordon's threatening letter hung over his heart like a dark cloud, lingering.

And the price of employment for a mercenary regiment ....

Originally, I am afraid that it was not enough for a small baron like him to support.

If not for the presence of iron concentrate.

Lynn had no strength to confront an earl.

He asked the final and crucial question: "The winter in Portia is very cold, will it affect our business?" "

Old Billy said: "The workers on the other side of the mine talked to me about this the other day, and it did not have much impact on the production of ore.

But I am afraid that the roads will be damaged by snow, and caravan travel will no longer be as convenient as it is now, and I am afraid that our income will not be as good as in summer. "

Lynn nodded slightly.

The world's infrastructure is too backward.

The territory and the town are originally connected by dirt roads, and they can be severely damaged by cruel weather.

Next spring, he'll have to pay a sum to repair it.

But more than seven hundred gold coins, it should be enough, right?

Lynn had no bottom in her heart.

His family had not yet hired any mercenary group, so it was impossible to know how much money they burned.

I only know that many lords in this world fought to the end.

Not only penniless.

On the contrary, he owes a lot of foreign debt.

Even because of the inability to pay salaries, things that led to mercenary groups defecting from time to time often happened.

'Being a lord is really not an easy task...'

After Lynn asked everything she wanted to know.

So he asked the old butler to go back to rest early.

Just wanted another drink.

But I saw a young and beautiful woman waving at her in the corner of the hall.
