Transcendent Noble

The breeze swept across the hills, and the long wormwood moved with the wind. The three bullock carts pressed over the grass and left deep traces. Nelson was on the bullock cart and said to Linda beside him: "Passing around this hill is the land that the adults have sealed for us. There is a lake. Woods, creeks, pastures. You can hunt and fish, you will love it."

Linda closed her eyes and leaned lazily on Nelson's broad shoulders, a pair who had not yet woken up. It looked like, after a long time, she said leisurely: "Fiefdom can't run. As for, will you come here this morning? Today, Lord Victor is going to hold a round table meeting."

Nelson Embarrassingly said: "It's not Old John and the others. I can't wait to come over and have a look. We will leave in a while and will not miss the adults."

Victor canonized 300 square kilometers of Nelson Land, the most exciting is the members of the war bear mercenary. Today, before dawn, Nelson was forcibly pulled from the bed by a dozen old mercenaries, clamoring to see his territory. As a last resort, Nelson had to find three bullock carts with these disabled old mercenaries and ran over to see the scenery. But Nelson amused Linda by pretending he didn't care.

"Just pretend. There is no need to take a trip in person for this kind of thing. With so many people, you can find anyone to lead the way."

Nelson chuckled said: "It's not the same for you. You haven't been to that land, and you didn't come right after you called it."

Linda was speechless, and then flew into a rage out of humiliation to pinch Narr. Sen's waist and ribs were soft. As soon as she applied force, her fingers were bounced away by Nelson's muscles. She couldn't help but yelled, "Something is moving in your clothes!"

Scratching his head, after cultivating Concealed Ox Secret Shape, the muscles of his whole body seem to come alive. If you don’t control it, there will be such a natural reaction. Only by cultivating Concealed Ox Secret Shape to the point where you can send and receive the heart can eliminate this. This phenomenon. But Victor told him that the secret of cultivation must not be mentioned to anyone.

"How could there be something? You must have not slept well. Come and lean on me and sleep again." Nelson hurriedly coaxed.

Linda gave Nelson a suspicious look. Linda still leaned on her husband obediently and closed her eyes to rest. Become a lord in ten years. Didn't expect only the past twelve years, and you actually did it."

"Actually, that was what I said to fool you. At that time, you were The most beautiful girl in the mercenary group, there are many people staring at you. At that time, I did not have the strength now. Didn't expect, you believed stupidly. Now, you stupidly become the lord lady ." Nelson said with a smile triumphantly.

"I don’t want to be your lord lady, you should marry a noble lady as a wife and give birth to a group of children. If your wife is willing, I will be your personal maid, if she doesn’t , I will be your lover." Linda said lightly.

Becoming a lord is the limit that an ordinary person can reach, but it is very difficult to obtain the title of lord. Many knights are just lords. For example, Bruce was once a lord, and those apprentices Knight is not even a lord, and it is extremely difficult to obtain the title of lord as an ordinary person. Nelson's strength is comparable to that of the mighty Knight, but he never expected that he would really become a lord, or a nobleman with hereditary territory.

Although the Lord is the lowest noble, he is recognized as a noble after all. Now, Nelson is a true noble, and he is also a noble noble with hereditary territories. Therefore, Nelson is eligible to marry a noble woman. In fact, many aristocratic ladies with dilapidated families are willing to marry the Lord Feng, and even those trainee Dame who have no hope of stepping into the bronze steps are willing to combine with it. The hereditary territory of 300 square kilometers is the limit of the Lord, which is more respected than the palace Baron.

As Linda said, the Lord should marry a woman from Knight bloodline. Only in this way can the family flourish and many new families were born like this. But Nelson didn't notice Linda's painstaking efforts. He said carefreely: "We will leave the matter of marrying aristocratic lady to our son. You are still obediently and honestly as Lady Randal."

"You rammer!" Linda held Nelson's ear with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you crying? The Lord is nothing great, and I can achieve even greater achievements in the future." Nelson said dismissively.

"Ha! The Lord is nothing great? You can still become Baron or not!" Linda was exasperated by Nelson.

"I can’t say clearly, but I believe Lord Victor. Well, Lord Victor is not an ordinary nobleman. His ideas are different from others. He doesn’t value what others value, and he values ​​what others don’t. We. Just follow the adults." Nelson replied.

"Didn't expect that you know Sir Victor so well, what do you say that the adults value?" Linda asked curiously.

Nelson thought for a while and said, "My lord, value us."

"We?" Linda rolled her eyes and asked, "including those strange freedoms. Min? You really gathered them?"

"It's true." Nelson patted his chest and said firmly.

"hmph! is all young and strong, not even a woman or a child?"

"In that case, how can I take in the burden? Bring the freedom of child and woman Min, I didn't want it." Nelson said solemnly.

Linda stared at Nelson's tough face, then leaned her head on his shoulder, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Although her husband was not a smart man, he was definitely not a fool.

After a while, the ox cart stopped, Nelson and Linda stood in front of a lake, the lake neither too big nor too small, 1,500 acres, opposite the lake is dense woods And rolling hills. It was early in the morning when a thin mist floated on the lake, and the clouds on the horizon and the green trees on the mountains were faintly reflected on the lake. The blue waves are rippling, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, Linda can't help taking a deep breath.

"It's so beautiful."

"The land here is fertile, the water source is abundant, but there are too many hills. Up to 40,000 mu of cultivated land can be cultivated along the lakeshore and mountain streams. The forest area is very large. It is big, there are a lot of high-quality wood, there are also a lot of wild things and berries, but I don’t know if there are mineral veins in the mountain. Well, I want someone to explore." Nelson said triumphantly.

"When the adult's territory is on the right track, we can recruit the leaders. When the time comes, we will build a villa on the shore of the lake." Nelson turned his head and looked towards his wife and said, "Lin Da, don’t drink bluegrass soup anymore. We have a few children, and when they grow up, I will bring them to hunt."

The life of mercenaries is turbulent, precarious and precarious. There are no conditions at all. Raising offspring, the two of them have been together for many years and there is no child of their own, but now they are different. Linda lightly nodded and said: "I listen to you."

"haha, it's good to have a child!" Old John dragged his prosthetic leg and walked over, regardless of Linda's shame in his eyes, he continued: "You have a few more strong boys, and we Old Guys are responsible for training them vigorously."

"Bah! The beauty of thinking." When Old John was about to train her son, Linda was anxious. , Even though she is not pregnant yet.

"Seriously, kid Nelson, you are now the lord, we Old Guy want to eat with you, just give us some land." The old mercenary hooked on Qian said.

"Why? Lord Victor treated you badly? You are vassals of the Lord. Without his consent, this is betrayal." Nelson said with a smile.

Old John shook his head and sighed: "The Goat Hotel is gone, causing the adults to lose thousands of Jinsols. We are old and disabled, and we still have the face to be Victor's vassals. Those who return are Well, if you are difficult to do, we will serve as a leader for Lord Victor."

These Old Guys are still so fierce, but if they are not fierce, they will not be mercenaries. Nelson thought to himself, but said to his mouth: "That's such a cheap thing! I lost a few thousand Kinsoul, and even the two chefs were poached by York's family. You guys, still go to the adults obediently. Let's work."

A dozen old mercenaries looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them couldn't help but said: "We don't know how to farm, what can we do?"

"Hehe, it won’t be cheaper for you old bastard anyway. After you go back, you will find Barriet and he will arrange it." Nelson picked up Linda and ran away, shouting as he ran, "Let’s first Go, remember to find Barrett."

In a blink of an eye, Nelson was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Linda's laughter rippling by the lake.

"This kid Nelson, I haven't said clearly yet, he runs faster than a rabbit." Old John yelled bitterly.

When Nelson and Linda walked into the Conference Hall, they were already full of people. Although it is a round table, Victor sits at the top, with Lilia on his left, and Nelson and Linda on the two empty seats on the right. Following along were Maureen, Benson, Boots, Dean, Philo, Kent, and George, all of Victor’s village leaders. Among them, Benson and Boots were dismissed because of their execution of Victor’s efforts to gather the mountain people. The task is now back to the management level again.

After Nelson and Linda sat down, Victor opened the mouth and said: "Everyone is here, let's go straight to the topic. Lilia, report the current situation in the Lower Territory."

"Yes." Lilia Yingsheng said: "At present, we have a population of 1,495, among which is included 572 freedmen collected by Lord Nelson, 570 members of the work-point system, and 353 women and children. Campsite. There are 120,000 pounds of wheat seeds, 240,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, 10,000 pounds of salt, 200 sheep, 70 bullocks, 40 cows, 35 war horses, and 7 horses. That’s it."

"Okay, we have 1,142 young men. So Nelson, Linda, how many people do you need?" Victor asked the two.

Nelson eyes shined and quickly said, "My lord, at least 150 people."

"Too many, up to 100 people for you. These people must be selected from the leaders. "Victor decisively rejected Nelson's request.

The strength of the alchemy militia is comparable to that of the trainee Knight. Victor has hundreds of alchemy militias, and the security of the territory is not a problem at all. The reason for rebuilding the escort is only to train qualified officers.

Victor said to the villager group leader again: "I will assign 100 people to each of your villager groups, and the same priority will be given to selecting members of the work-point system. You only have one task, and that is to cultivate land. The remaining free people I have other uses."

Dean asked nervously: "My lord, don’t I need to resume production in Zhuanyao Village?"

"Jianyao Village, Carpenter Village, Flax Village, including I have arrangements for the hill camps." Victor shook his head and said: "We must concentrate our efforts on reclaiming 20,000 mu of arable land, and in the water season, all crops will be planted."

Mo Lin With a dry cough, he said, "My lord, we don’t have enough seeds. For 20,000 mu of arable land, at least 1 million pounds of wheat seeds are needed."

Victor nodded and said: "I know how many wheat seeds are there. Plant as much as you want, and all the remaining arable land will be planted with potato."

"Plant all potato? My lord, do you plant some alfalfa and other pastures? There is plenty of water here. As long as we irrigate regularly, the pasture can be used. It grows very quickly and is very suitable for raising cattle, sheep and horses. Moreover, we have few people and don't need so many sweet potatoes at all." said George, the leader of the villager.

Victor said sternly: "As a viscount, I have a vast territory, but I only have more than 1,000 people, which is not as good as a Baron leader. You think I will be satisfied with this population. In this ant plague, the lords in the western part of the kingdom lost a lot of crops. In the next two or three years, food will be in short supply, which may lead to a flow of refugees. Therefore, we need more food! As long as there is enough food, we It will be able to accept more refugees."

"Sweet potato can be used as a ration. Its leaves are the same as pasture, and they will grow after cutting. Although cattle, sheep and horses do not eat potato leaves, wild boars Can eat!"

Humans in this world only raise cattle, sheep, horses and not wild boars. On the one hand, the economic value of wild boar is far lower than that of cattle and sheep. Except for meat and fat, it does not produce milk, and its fur has no value. On the other hand, wild boars have mixed feeding habits, reproduce fast, and have fierce temperaments. They do not need to be reared, and they are everywhere in the wild. Due to the lack of large-scale water conservancy facilities, human arable land is limited. Even in mature human territories, the area of ​​the countryside is much larger than that of arable land, which gives wild boars, beasts, and monsters enough living space. In order to prevent cattle, sheep and horses from being preyed by wild beasts, people plant pastures and keep them in captivity near the village. As for wild boars, they were hunted by humans. In fact, many nobles took pleasure in hunting wild boars.

However, Victor sees the advantages of wild boars. They eat almost everything, including sweet potato leaves that cows and sheep do not eat. Wild boars grow very fast, they can get hundreds of pounds of meat and lard in one year, and the manure of wild boars is also a good fertilizer.

After the ant plague, Victor's territory vacated millions of acres of land, which is suitable for planting pasture and raising cattle, sheep and horses. The large wild beast in the territory has been wiped out by the alchemy war mastiff, and only wild boar can compete with cattle and sheep for food. With hundreds of alchemy militias, Victor has no control over the territory. Therefore, Victor wants to grow field potatoes, raise wild boar in captivity, and graze cattle and sheep.

Actually, Victor can feed more than 3,000 people just by relying on the properties of the territory, mountains, and Pinghu. But this is far from enough. Victor needs more people, at least to meet the minimum standard of Viscount, which is more than 10,000 people. If, in accordance with the inherent development model, this will take more than two decades. With the help of the food shortage caused by the ant plague, Victor feels that this goal can be achieved within two to three years. Before that, he needs ample rations, and sweet potatoes and wild boars can solve this problem.

Therefore, Victor redesigned the agricultural production system. Gathering, hunting, and catching to meet short-term needs, grow sweet potatoes, raise wild boars, meet medium-term needs, grow wheat, and graze cattle and sheep to meet mid- to long-term needs. Victor believes that as long as this production system is established, the upper limit of the population that can be accommodated in the territory will greatly exceed that of the ordinary viscountry.

"I will arrange free people, fishing, hunting, and collecting wild fruits to meet our daily needs. What you have to do is to farm and raise pigs with peace of mind!"
