Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Strictly speaking, Harvey is actually a genuine King's Capital man.

He was born in Jinhui City. His grandfather was an ordinary city guard knight. Although his father was not officially canonized, he barely managed to get a position in the city guard with the help of his ancestors... Unfortunately, his comfortable life for many years gradually made him neglect his skills. He became addicted to alcohol and died in an accidental fall from a horse.

As the product of the fusion of the soul of the traverser and the soul of the original body... Harvey's memory of his youth has always been a little vague, and he is more unfamiliar than familiar with this city where he has lived for more than ten years.

There is no doubt that before the establishment of Xinghuo City, the capital was one of the few prosperous places in the central part of the southern border... Although it is still very backward from the perspective of the traverser, it does not prevent it from becoming the richest city among the countries in the central part of the southern border.

What attracted Harvey the most was its huge population and the high quality of the local people. The capital had always been a place for gold mining. All nobles who had fallen into poverty, lost their inheritance rights or had poor fiefs chose to come to the capital to find opportunities to make a comeback. Frequent intermarriages also made the aristocratic circle more or less related.

In addition to the royal nobles and knights of the capital, as well as the empty titles of honorary knights and lords that could be bought as long as they were willing to spend a lot of gold pounds to make connections, the entire Jinhui City gradually gathered a large population of aristocrats.

And these nobles, big and small, as long as they did not have brain problems due to inbreeding, at least had received formal family education, and literacy was the basic operation. If they were to be trained as heirs to the family and the title, they would need to learn complex affairs such as politics or business, which was simply a high-quality reserve of municipal officials.

After all, the land around the capital is precious, and most of it has been annexed by the royal family and the great nobles. Most of these royal nobles do not have fiefs, so they are not likely to resist Harvey's compulsory policy of confiscating land. As long as their personal character and identity background are good... they are actually more suitable for Harvey to manage and operate the city than the administrative officials who were transferred from Spark City.

In addition to the labor force and management talents, the capital is also the most prosperous place for commercial trade in the central part of the entire southern border. Various large and small chambers of commerce and craftsman guilds are established here. Many scarce goods in the central part of the continent gather here in large quantities. Just posting a recruitment notice can gather a large number of highly skilled craftsmen.

Harvey does not intend to keep these talents in Jinhui City. Naturally, he will bring them all back to the northern border as much as possible to enrich his various production and manufacturing departments that have been lacking technical jobs for many years.

Finally, there was the palace treasury... and the confiscated nobles' property. The gold, jewelry, antiques, magic materials, and precious potions filled up several large dock warehouses that were specially vacated. Although the amount was still being counted, Harvey estimated that the discount could be equivalent to nearly 300,000 gold pounds.

However, Harvey did not intend to move all of these goods back to the North. Ten ironclad ships could not be transported at once. The subsequent repair of the bombed inner city of the capital also required a certain amount of expenses. The subsequent management and operation of the city hall and the appeasement of the people also cost money everywhere. There was no point in piling up gold in the warehouse... Harvey, in line with the principle of spending money where he made money, immediately contacted several large chambers of commerce that had always cooperated happily, and drew out a large number of material and goods lists like water.

Part of it was used to rebuild Jinhui City, and part of it was naturally transported to Xinghuo City as usual to support the expansion of production plans and further improve the quality of life of the people.

After all, no matter how advanced and prosperous Xinghuo City is...the southern tobacco, western black tea, and eastern spices that are extremely popular among the people cannot be produced by themselves, and they all need to rely on import trade. The residents of this emerging city built on the wasteland are incredibly wealthy, which makes the major chambers of commerce in the southern border salivate...The folk commodity fair is now held in the city almost every month, led by the commercial department under the administrative office, and various import and export orders are numerous like snowflakes.

...

After reviewing the spoils of war, Harvey set off to the palace again-he received news early this morning that Grand Duke Saint Valen completely stopped breathing in a deep coma around dawn.

"The obituary will be posted in the afternoon. If there are nobles and people who would like to pay their respects spontaneously... there is no need to stop them." Harvey had no interest in pursuing the guilt and mistakes of a dead person. With the confession of the church's high-ranking priest, the accusation that the caster had murdered and assassinated the Archduke had long been completely cleared. It would be better to take this opportunity to cultivate his image as a generous and benevolent ruler, which would be of great help and benefit in recruiting talents to serve in the North.

The heavy coffin containing the Archduke's body was slowly carried out of the bedroom. The few remaining royal guards carried the coffin with a sad face and slowly walked towards the royal cemetery - as the defeated party who surrendered, they did not hope that the royal family, which had completely lost its real power, would have the opportunity to organize the Archduke's funeral. The royal cemetery was originally within the royal court, and a simple burial would be enough.

Chief Knight Dickinson took off his full knight armor for the first time, and even did not carry the sword bestowed by the emperor. He only wore a simple knight training robe, a hemp rope tied around his waist, and stood like a javelin beside the door of the Grand Duke's simple tomb.

Harvey, who came late, raised his hand to call him over, "Mr. Chief Knight..."

Dickinson knelt down on one knee and bowed his head, saying, "Hello, please don't need to call me the chief knight anymore... After His Majesty passed away, his chief knight naturally no longer exists."

"Oh?" Harvey asked with interest, "I think the Chief Knight is an honorary title without real power, and once the enthronement is completed, it will be enjoyed for life."

There was no sarcasm in his words, but Dickinson still felt a slight tingling in his ears, and raised his head and smiled bitterly: "If Your Majesty died in a fight, I will naturally try my best to avenge him... But today's situation is not The city lord has caused it by himself, and you came here with the goal of stopping the war with the goal of fighting, and you have treated us surrendered people without any invasion and humiliation..."

Harvey chuckled, "Since you understand my purpose, are you willing to do something for me? This is also to completely stop this unreasonable war that spreads to the central countries."

Dickinson was stunned for a moment and said in a daze: "Me? City Lord, what qualifications can I have..."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Harvey waved his hand and said to himself: "You used to be the commander of the Knights of the Royal Capital in the past, right? If I ask you to take a Northern Army to the border battlefield of the Principality, I will persuade the Knights of the Royal Capital who are still in a stalemate with Daes. Can you do it with the fief lords?”
