Start as Inherited Baroness

"Yes! Sir! I will do as you say, and I think we can get a lot of slaves."

Mad smiled when he heard this.

"Well, you go and recruit another thousand regular soldiers, and then give them to Sarit for training.

In addition, buy more food, and buy all the caravans that sell food for me." Simon ordered.

He knew the importance of food and grass, which was the basis of all human social activities. Once there was a famine, everything would be over.

"Yes!" Mad replied solemnly.

"Wall, you will be transferred to the government office now, and serve as the deputy of the government official Mad. First, make 200 crossbows."

Simon thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes! Sir! I will complete the task!" Wall promised immediately.

The Eagle Kingdom has long mastered the technology of making hand-held crossbows, but it is not very popular.

Although the crossbow is powerful, has a long range, is more accurate, and has a low threshold for use, it has a lot of advantages.

But the disadvantages are too prominent. First, it is too expensive and difficult to equip on a large scale. Secondly, the shooting interval is long and the delivery efficiency is low.

Therefore, the nobles of the Eagle Kingdom are more inclined to train archers.

There are crossbowmen, of course, but they are treated as special troops and are relatively rare.

"Let's all disperse. Hilde should pay attention to sending out some scouts to find out the movements of these noble sons.

Once they enter the Three Mountains Territory, we don't have to worry about them." Simon said at last.

"Yes!" Hilde responded with a serious face.

Then the knights saluted respectfully and walked out of the lord's hall.

Simon also returned to the study to read books.

A few days passed in a flash.

The second sons of the nobles of Beifeng have all entered the Three Mountains Territory and went to their garrisons to fight for their own territory.

As for the battle situation, Simon did not know.

Anyway, he knew that the nobles of Beifeng would not be satisfied. It would be good if half of the designated garrisons could gain a foothold.

On this day, Simon was in the Lord's Hall, teaching the selected wizard seeds to learn magic words.

People's talents are indeed different. Some of them are indeed smart and intelligent, while others are much duller.

Simon naturally had to kick out those who were slow in memorizing and let them go back to being warriors honestly.

After all, the profession of wizard is a technical job, and you can't play it without a little brain.

A few hours later, Simon said: "That's it for today. You go back and take the parchment book and memorize it more.

This is an opportunity to change your destiny, so seize it well."

"Yes! Baron!" After everyone saluted respectfully, they all retreated.

At this time, Mai Lan knocked on the door and reported: "My lord, the Fengjian caravan is here, and Kailaier wants to see you."

"Oh? Please invite him in!" Simon said with joy.

At present, Kailaier's caravan is still very useful, and many materials depend on him to circulate.

"Yes! Please wait a moment, my lord!" Mai Lan responded and turned away immediately.

After a while, he came in with Kelley.

"Meet the Baron!"

"How is it? Is the soap selling well?" Simon looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Not bad! I sold all the goods before I even got to Eagle City this time.

I bought some iron ingots, food and weapons and rushed back.

I hope I can buy more soap this time." Kelley said happily.

"No problem, I'll increase your supply by 30%." Simon nodded and smiled with relief.

In this way, he has a very considerable source of income. Money can make things easier.

"Thank you, Baron!" Kelley smiled. He was really happy.

"There is one more thing I have to tell you. I don't know if you are willing to do it. Anyway, I reserved a place for you at that time...

A few days ago, a group of second sons of nobles from the North Wind came to me and expressed their loyalty to me... because... so..."

Simon told the whole story of these things.

After hearing this, Kelley fell silent. After a while, he suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "Baron! I am willing to be loyal to you!"

"Okay! I accept your loyalty!"

Simon smiled slightly, drew his sword and put it on his shoulder, completing the ceremony of enthronement.

It can be seen that Kelley was a little excited. No matter how ambitious he was before, he is now old after all.

After his second son Li De became a knight of the fiefdom, he was so proud that he was probably stimulated.

Before, Simon's strength was still weak and he did not dare to recruit him.

But now that his wings are gradually full, Kelley is no longer a threat, but can be regarded as a powerful general.

And he is also a relative by marriage, so other forces will regard him as Simon's die-hard supporter.

"Sit down quickly, take a look at this map, this location is your fiefdom." Simon said with a smile.

"Thank you, Baron, for giving me a seat!" Kelley said respectfully, without the previous casual look on his face.

After all, the two are now in a monarch-subject relationship, and before there was no subordinate relationship, which was considered mutual cooperation.

Simon took the opportunity to look at the panel and found that Kelley's loyalty was 99, a little bit of disloyalty, but not much.

Then he stared at him again and found that he was only light red and did not pose a threat by force.

And there was no black smoke coming out of his body, which meant that he had no malice and could be used.

"You see, your position is still quite critical. It is the first pass to the east of Sanshan Territory and the west.

The territory is equivalent to a barony in the mainland. If I can be promoted to a baron in the future, I might be able to make you a baron. "

Simon smiled, spread out the map, pointed to a place, and said in a relaxed tone.

There is a second level behind this position, and more reliable people will be stationed in the future as insurance.

"Sir, please rest assured! My subordinates will definitely guard the pass and clear out the bandits around us!"

Carlyle smiled heartily and agreed. He seemed to know something about the situation in the Three Mountains Territory.

"Well, I recognize your strength.

Now you can bring people over to develop the territory.

However, I suggest you not to act rashly and wait until those noble children are exhausted for a while. Simon laughed.

"Yes! I understand! I plan to go to Baiou Port again and buy some slaves." Carlyle said calmly.

"Just in time, bring me some too.

This time I will give you twice as much soap as before, plus an additional thousand golden eagles to buy at least three thousand serfs of average or above.

In addition, to buy a thousand female slaves, they must be fertile.

In addition, buy some high-level prospectors and smelters, and recruit more skilled miners, no less than 300.

You can adapt to various other slaves and buy them if you can...

Let's build a team of 100 disciples. This thing is pretty useful. Simon ordered.

"Yes! I understand!" Carlisle's eyes flashed slightly, then his face became solemn and he responded.

“With so many people traveling long distances, you may not have enough manpower to take care of them.

In this way, I asked Airei to take five hundred people with you and two doctors with the army. I hope this trip will go smoothly. "

Simon thought for a while and then said.

"Yes! Please rest assured that my subordinates still have some strength in other places, and they will all be mobilized this time.

Sir, just wait for my triumphant return! "Kyle promised confidently.
