Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 449: A Calm Year

For Lorist, GM’s 1788 year is a rare and comfortable year for him. The family territory is thriving, and there are no foreign enemies in Zhoubian. Before, I did not dare to relax in order to protect the family. Either prepare for war, or desperately develop family strength to develop territory, or lead an army to defeat one family after another...

Finally, he can live his life steadily in the family territory. Everything in the family territory is on the right track, and the desolate and remote Northland has now become a symbol of prosperity. The new homes rising from the ground, the bustling market, the newly opened shops and workshops, and the endless green farmland, for the war-torn people, this is a piece of hope and peace. Hot land...

Lorist felt that this year was a year of harmony and stability. His Royal Highnesses were busy integrating the 11 provinces in the central region. Instead of adopting a policy of restoring the people and livelihood, they focused on expanding the military and preparing for war. All resources are tilted towards armaments, which has greatly suppressed the recovery and development of the people’s livelihood and handicraft industry in the 11 central provinces, and even had to spend more than 400,000 Kingford to place an order for daily necessities from the Norton family. .

According to the report of the secret agent deployed by Volibear in the central region, after two years of war in the 11 central provinces, only nearly 3.5 million people remained after the population was relocated. Seven provinces are still intact. These seven provinces have reorganized seven legions and two garrison legions, with an army of nearly three hundred and fifty thousand, which is nothing short of a brutal force.

However, this time the formation of so many corps and the expansion of the army of three hundred and fifty thousand, the second Royal Highness adopted the method of military garrison. While commanding the army to cultivate wasteland, he also trained the young soldiers who were conscripted into the army. His Royal Highness should have learned the lesson and prepared to spend a few years to develop an elite team, instead of having 300,000 troops under his command, but few of them are usable. He also needs to support the 300,000 troops to cause the whole The leaders of the Antinac Kingdom were poor.

Because the Second His Royal Highness has been vigorously expanding his armaments, Fatty Shi also specially reminded Lorist not to be careless, maybe when the Second His Royal Highness suddenly wants to turn his face with the Norton family. Lorist laughed and told Fatty Shi that our King would not be so irrational. His purpose of enlisting more than 300,000 troops was for the provinces occupied by the commercial alliance.

Besides, even if the Second Highness wants to deal with the North, how much advantage can his army of more than 300,000 have in front of the Norton family? What's more, he doesn't border the Northland now. If he wants to make a raid, he must first capture the southern province, and he can do no harm to the Norton family. As soon as his army entered the southern province, we were prepared and able to make a perfect response.

In addition to the Second Highness, who was in the eleven provinces in the middle of China, who was immersed in the preparations for war, the changes in the Feisabrun family also surprised Lorist. After spending a winter in the Northland, Grand Duke Fesabrun returned to the Eastern Desolation Province to reorganize the family's armed forces. Disbanded the three frontier guard ranger regiments and the garrison regiment of Huju Castle, reorganized into two 28,000-man garrison regiments and two 45,000-man border guard regiments, in Jinchuan and Dongfang provinces A garrison regiment and a border ranger regiment were deployed.

In a sense, Grand Duke Fisabrunn’s military reorganization has the meaning of self-abolition of martial arts, and reduced the armaments of the Fisabrun family by nearly 20,000 horses. However, his move greatly reduced the hostility and misgivings of the Philim family and the Norton family. After all, the Border Rangers are famous for surprise attacks and surprise attacks. The reduction of the three legions to two also means that the Feisabrunn family has no intention of starting war.

The Duke of Kenmez’s Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce organized a huge caravan in June with nearly a million goods to the Eastern Desolation Province, deep into the northeastern prairie, under the **** of a border ranger regiment of the Fei Sablon family A big market meeting was held to trade directly with the grassman tribe, and it took four months to come and go and make deals. After the caravan came back in October, the Duke of Kenmes split his mouth to confess to Lorist. Nearly one million goods brought more than two million Kingford profits to the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. The Duke of Kenmes has already begun preparations for the caravan next year. Bring more goods to the past transaction...

Lorist felt that it was no surprise that the caravan could make such a large profit. The northeast prairie was so big, and there were countless grass-barbarian tribes living on the prairie. Regardless of the fact that the Fisabrun family is known as the overlord of the Northeast Prairie, the area they occupy and operate is only the area of ​​the Northeast Prairie to the southeast, which is at most one-third of the area of ​​the Northeast Prairie. It's just that they have always firmly controlled the trade routes of the Northeast Prairie to the outside world. Without their permission and guards, no caravan could go deep into the Northeast Prairie to trade with the Caoman tribe.

In the past, the Feisabrun family bought a large number of living supplies and commodities from the Northland and the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. In fact, they just turned their hands two or three times the price and sold these commodities to the grass-man tribe. The huge profits in the middle were all Let them swallow it. This is also one of the reasons why Lorist attacked the Fei Sablon family back then. What he wanted to do was to control the Fei Sablon family’s foreign trade routes, on the one hand to suppress the expansion of the Fei Sablon family’s power, on the other hand It is also in order to get a share of the profit from the transaction with the grassman tribe.

This time the Duke of Kenmez organized a caravan from the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to the Feisabrunn family territory, and Lorist reminded him to first go through the records of the transactions he had made with the Feisabrunn family. I thought that the commodities and living supplies needed by the grass-barbarian tribe should not be the same as the materials purchased by the Fei Sablon family back then. Those commodities were sold to the grass-barbarian tribe by the Fei Sablon family. You can't sell it too, so it's best to take those living supplies and commodities that the Fesabrunn family has not purchased.

The Duke of Kenmes humbly listened to Lorester's opinions, and carefully checked the types of commodities and living supplies purchased by the Fesabrunn family, and found two good business opportunities. The first is that the living materials and commodities purchased by the Fisabrunn family are durable, resistant to falls and very practical, and most of them are cheap. The second is that there are only three consumables purchased by the Feisabrun family, snow salt, tea bricks and linen cloth.

Duke Kenmes’ idea is very simple. He believes that the grass-barbarian tribes should be classified into different status. It is impossible for the grass-barbarian nobles to use the same living items as the general grass-barbarians. So he asked the caravan to bring a lot of luxury goods and spirits. Sure enough, these commodities were very popular at the trade fair. The prices turned up and down like a fight, which made the person in charge of the chamber of commerce laugh from ear to ear. .

Unlike the Duke of Kenmes who only wanted to organize a caravan to do business, Lorist turned his attention to Makinohara Province. Muyeyuan Province is a neighboring province in the Northland. The chain bridge built by the Kenmes family in the east of the Northland connects the two provinces, and also provides an external channel for the Northland.

At present, Muyeyuan Province is occupied by the Norton family and the Fesabrunn family with the Sochus River as the boundary. The Norton family occupies two thirds and the Fesabrunn family occupies one third. However, when Fisabrun reorganized his family’s armed forces, he had already withdrawn the 4th Border Ranger Corps in Makinohara Province. There was no Fasabrun family in the south of the Sochus River except for the defense teams of several towns and towns. The armed forces exist.

Lorist’s idea to fight against the Pastoral Plains Province was also to trade with the Grass Barbarian tribe. If the Pastoral Plains Province is also under the jurisdiction of the Norton family, Lorister is confident that it will become a window for trading with the Grass Barbarian tribes on the Northeast Prairie. The big market, this is not a year allowed by the Grand Duke Fesabrunn to allow the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to organize a caravan for one transaction, but a market that is open year after year. Think about it and you can understand how much commercial benefits are involved.

Only before the ownership of Makinohara Province was confirmed, Lorist couldn't realize his plan. In name, Makinohara is the jurisdiction of the Fesabrunn family. This is not the order of the Second Highness nor the will of the Iberian King of the Second Prince. It is because of the former imperial King Christen VII because of Fesabrunn. For the empire to open up new territories, opened up the honor bestowed by the Eastern Wilderness Province. King Christen VII granted the newly opened Eastern Desolation Province to Grand Duke Fesabrun as a hereditary domain, and also gave him the province of Makino as his jurisdiction.

This is also the reason why the Feisabrun family can own three provinces as family domains, but the Second Highness has no objection. Because Muyeyuan Province and Eastern Desolation Province are both canonized by King Christen VII, and Jinchuan Province is a newly opened province of Duke Fesabrunn, there is no problem in being under the jurisdiction of Duke Fesabrunn.

Lorester’s embarrassment is here. If he wants to obtain the Makino Plain from the Fesabrunn family, even if the two Highnesses of Fesabrunn are willing to disagree, he will never let the Norton family increase. A governed province. If Grand Duke Feisabrun gave up the jurisdiction over Makinohara Province, Na Lorist would not even think about it. His Royal Highness would take back Makinohara Province and become a direct territory of the royal family.

I blame the old fox. It would be nice if the Fesabrunn family was still hostile to the four Northland alliances, or it would be good to wait for my family’s armed forces to occupy the entire Makinohara province before the truce and peace talks... Sometimes Lorist Think of it this way, if you occupy the entire Makinohara province, you can force Grand Duke Fesabrun to cede it to the Norton family during the armistice, so even if the Second Highness has objections and wants to take it back, there is no way, because it is the victor of the noble war. The compensation received can be regarded as a spoils of war, and the second highness can't get in even if he wants to interfere.

Now Archduke Fesabrunn has released goodwill to the four Northland and also reduced the border guard rangers. This is good news for the four Northland alliances. You can delete the Feysabrunn family in the enemy column. Name again. Especially he was the grandfather of Princess Silvia and became relatives with Lorist. Just like what was said in the previous life? Too familiar, on the contrary, because of the affair, Lorist felt that this would be the most vivid example of this sentence.

There was no way to fight against Grand Duke Fesabrunn's idea, Lorist had to focus on training and teaching the three apprentices. After obtaining Lorist’s consent, Reddy happily tied Genorio to the big round iron ring and began to wander around. It took more than three months for Genorio to have artificial dynamic visual ability. .

Genorio, who was limp on the ground like a slug, suffered even more sins this time, and Baron Farea, who had originally wanted Lorist to accept his two sixteen-year-old twin brothers as apprentices, immediately dispelled it. I decided to bring my two sons with me to teach myself. Although it is an honor to be a teacher by Belorist, Reddy told Baron Faria that all his disciples would suffer this crime. The twin brothers looked at Genorio who was retching on the ground and flinched. , Which makes Reddy express very regret.

Norris practiced on his own in his days, accompanied Princess Silvia and four concubines, teased his baby son Andebel, who crawled all over the floor, taught three apprentices, and dealt with the accumulated official duties every other day. Soon day after day passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Fatty Shi began to hold a grand New Year celebration party again.

For Lorist, the only thing worth mentioning about his inaction this year was that he had a big belly for the Aridori female knight who came to visit his sister Fenna Galli. Aristolée, who returned to the Baron of Dina, wrote a letter to Lorris after discovering that she was pregnant. In the letter she cursed Lorist, and then announced that she was going to give birth to this child, as the great Dina. This surname finally asked Lorist to agree to leave a baronian territory for the child in his stomach to wait for him to inherit when he grows up, making Lorist dumbfounded.

For the many family knights and civilian officials of the Norton family, the General Calendar 1784 was not a peaceful year as Lorester thought. The family experienced a great cleansing that swept across the entire family territory. All family knights and civilian officials related to Maple Forest Villa were either sent to the Haneabad Islands or transferred from Angry Bear City and the Northland. , Go to Dremque or Winston to take an unimportant position.

In August, when Lorist took Princess Silvia, mother and son, four concubines, and the son of Dilianna to the Bailugang family cemetery outside Fenglin Villa to pay homage to the ancestors of Norton, Feng Lin had been waiting for a long time. Mrs. Yilinna and the two young masters of the villa simply taught a few words and ignored them. After completing the memorial service, they went directly to the Nicol Academy without going to the Fenglin Villa to rest, and finally let the caring people understand the cause of this personnel cleaning. Since then, from then on, Fenglin Villa was virtually excluded from the family’s management system, and became a place that was isolated in the family’s territory and was shunned~www.readwn.com~ Before the end of the year, the Duke of Kenmes came to North Land, when he came to participate in the New Year’s celebration, he brought a new guest, the new lord of Forrundo, the new lord of Yunga Shangdra province. Nominally, he came to Northland to participate in the Norton family's New Year celebration. In fact, Duke Frondo came to Lorister for help.

The Grand Duke of Forrundo, who was relocated to Yungosandra Province, found that his new territory was very barren. After he settled down the people and family armed forces who moved to the new territory with him, he set up the idea of ​​searching for mineral resources and mining development territory. . At the same time, in order to have enough food reserves, I want to develop the part of Bailu River swamp located in Yungshandra Province as new farmland.

However, Grand Duke Frondo had less than a million Golden Ford in his hands, and this little money was simply not enough to develop new territories. So Grand Duke Frundo visited the Kenmes family in the neighboring province of Sidegrad, hoping to borrow three million golden fords...

The Duke of Kenmes was very straightforward. He said that he could borrow money as long as Lorist agreed, but he didn't have that much money, and he could only borrow half of it. The Norton family had money, and Grand Duke Fredo could ask Lorist for help. And what Lorester likes most is the development of territories, he will certainly not let you down, etc., so the Archduke Frondo followed the Duke of Kenmax to the Northland.
