Start as Inherited Baroness

"No wonder, the Earl of Forest Valley who asked the Baron of Changlin Town to kill me disappeared afterwards. It seems that he was blocked by Marquis Val..."

"I have now been recognized by the Marquis, so I haven't encountered any major events in the days since then.

The nobles of Beifeng Land no longer regard me as a target.

But I got the Three Mountains Territory by chance, which is undoubtedly too eye-catching..."

Simon's mind was full of thoughts, and many things suddenly became clear. No matter whether he was right or not, he was connected anyway.

"Those old nobles couldn't hold back, like sharks seeing blood.

The nobles of Beifeng were also drooling, but they chose to intervene with normal legal principles, that is, to ask me to confer titles..."

After thinking for a while, Simon sighed and said to himself: "It seems that it is difficult to make a profit alone, so I'd better not refuse the toast and drink the penalty wine.

The Three Mountains Territory was originally an unexpected gain, so there is no need to worry about it. It is also good to use it to attract some help.

Even if they are conferred titles, they will have to pay taxes to me in the future..."

He comforted himself, thought about the rules of the matter, and stopped thinking about it, waiting for the nobles of Beifeng to come to him again.

Simon had loosened his mouth a little during the meal, and Baron Tuler would definitely convey the news.

Next, a few days passed in a flash.

In addition to daily exercise, Simon was thinking about how to improve the productivity of the territory.

Now the territory and manpower cannot grow rapidly in a short period of time, so he can only start from the production technology.

In terms of farming, he has taught the serfs to use the curved plow, which has greatly improved the efficiency of land reclamation and tillage.

As for fertilization, the farmers in the Eagle Kingdom are already aware of this.

But usually they just crush the cow dung or straw and spread it on the field.

Although this has some effect on improving soil fertility, the effect is not strong and is relatively slow.

The locals do not know how to compost and ferment, so there is a lot of room for improvement.

Simon found a piece of parchment and wrote this item on it.

He had this idea before, and built a lot of toilets, and had collected a lot of feces, enough for use.

In addition, the only way Simon could think of to increase farmland production was water conservancy.

However, this item is not a problem at present, because the Qingshui River is not far away, and Charles, a superior serf, is also well-educated.

Under his guidance, the fields of slave manors are connected into one piece, and they are all well-developed, which can be irrigated with less effort.

"That's it for farming. Without fertilizers, it's impossible to significantly increase production. Fermented fertilizers will do the trick.

At this stage of the times, if you want to produce more food, the most reliable way is to cultivate more land."

In the study, Simon sat in the main seat, muttering to himself, writing and drawing for a while, then put the parchment into the storage column and took out another blank one.

"The next step is the problem of ironmaking. It's best to make a hydraulic forging hammer, but which river should I choose to build it on?

Willier is a bit of a hindrance, otherwise it can be built directly on the riverside to the east... Let's choose Qingluo River, this thing must be kept secret."

Simon started writing and drawing after thinking it over. He had browsed the knowledge in this area before crossing over. Although he didn't remember it completely, he could get a rough idea.

After a while, a design drawing with crooked strokes appeared on the parchment.

The framework was basically built, but it can be seen that many places are imperfect.

"Next, it depends on the ability of carpenter master Kai Luo. It is not difficult to make up for it with his experience." Simon thought to himself.

"Another issue is talent. My family background is too low, and there are not many noble children to rely on. I still have to rely on myself to cultivate..."

In this way, Simon stayed in the study for several days and made a more comprehensive development plan.

On this day, he walked out of the room, walked quickly to the lord's hall, and said to Knight Mai Lan who was guarding the gate: "I will hold a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

All honorary knights and leaders of various craftsmen must be present."

"Yes! Baron, I will notify them as soon as possible." Mai Lan responded respectfully and immediately made arrangements.

Simon nodded, stretched, and then began to wander around the inner castle of the castle and patrolled everywhere.

Following him was a team of ten armed maids.

They were all pulled into the team column and strengthened, and generally had the strength of medium to high-level warriors.

The backyard was guarded by these stronger maids.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, when the meeting was held, all the qualified participants were present.

However, the knights had seats to sit on both sides of the long table, while the slaves could only stand in front of the hall and bow their heads to listen to the instructions.

As soon as Simon entered the door, all the knights stood up and saluted, respectfully calling: "Greetings, Baron!"

"Sit down!" He walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, smiling faintly.

"Thank you, sir!" Everyone thanked and sat down again.

"This meeting is held to discuss with everyone how to develop the Yongyi Territory in the future...

There are now more than 7,000 free people in the territory, with a population of nearly 40,000.

It's not the time when we just came here, when it was deserted, and it's time to improve the governance structure.

I want to add a few more official positions to help me govern the territory.

The political steward was renamed the political officer, and Mad was still in office. In addition, tax officers, sheriffs and craftsmen officers were added.

For the time being, I will personally act as the tax officer, Mader will be responsible for the specific execution, Airey will serve as the magistrate, and Yaman will serve as the craftsman officer..."

Simon solemnly announced that there were too few available talents in the territory, otherwise he would not have served as the tax officer himself.

However, he definitely couldn't count the coins and supplies for a long time, so letting Ma De do the actual operation was considered a professional counterpart.

He was originally a businessman, and he was the best at finance and money.

It's just that there is really no one available in the territory, so he is allowed to take over the government affairs, and his performance is quite satisfactory.

"Lord Baron, we will definitely live up to your trust!"

The three people who were appointed stood up, saluted, and respectfully promised.

"Okay! It depends on your performance from now on!" Simon nodded and smiled.

"Next, the person whose name is called will follow me to the inner room. I have something to tell you, Yaman!" Simon shouted, and stood up to push open the side door of the hall.

"Yes! Sir!"

Yaman immediately stood up and followed him. After passing through the small door, he came to a simply decorated room.

This place is airtight, and the light source is the light spell cast by Simon. It can almost be called a secret room.

"Take people to find a section of the Qingluo River where the water is deep, fast, and narrow, and build a fortress covering an area of ​​no less than twenty acres.

To include the river, this is mainly a workshop, but it also needs to be defensive..." Simon said as soon as he sat down at the table.

"Yes! Yes! I understand, it will take four months to complete..." Yaman listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.

“This matter must be kept confidential and not mentioned to anyone else.

You go and call in Char and Mader. "After discussing for a while, Simon finally said.

"Yes! Sir!" After Yaman saluted, he turned and left the room to inform the two people whose names were called...
