Transcendent Noble

Wind season, the first day of the second month.

In the guest room of the Black Fort, Duke York and Sylvia sit side by side at the top of the long walnut table, while the lords of the vassal family sit on both sides of the long table. The York family is holding a family meeting after the windy season.

Wind season patrolling is an extremely important job for the lord. Before harvesting the crops every year, the lord must personally inspect every town and village in the territory, check the growth of the crops, the number of cattle and sheep, the output of the workshop, prepare for the collection of worship, and listen to the vassal’s advice and accept Lead the paid respect of the people, declare their sovereignty to stabilize the people's hearts. If you are a vassal lord of a great nobleman, you should also visit your lord, report the situation of the territory, make suggestions or ask for assistance.

This is the first windy season patrolling family meeting after the York family experienced the ant plague. Every vassal lord who attended the meeting had a happy and relaxed smile on the face.

"This year, our Terlandon family will usher in a bumper harvest. The wheat is growing very well, almost every strand of wheat ears is full. It is estimated that each acre of farmland can harvest about 300 pounds Wheat, and the seeds we planted are only 80 pounds, less than half of previous years, and the planting and harvesting ratio has reached a staggering 1:4. There are also those sweet potatoes, too many to count, and the number of cows and sheep has also doubled. I think that in another year, the family’s food can be self-sufficient, and in another two years, it can surpass the level before the ant plague. Four years later, both the food output and the number of cattle and sheep can reach ours. The scale of the eastern province."

"The only regret is that this year’s hunting party, I can only hunt some timid bobtail deer and yellow sheep, because the wild boars are all in my pigsty. Here."

Terrandon count's speech evoked a burst of kind laughter, and the situation of each family here is almost the same.

The laughter gradually stopped, and Sylvia Lightly of sexy bearing and charming temperament said: "I once said that you will be exempted from worship for three years, and this will not change."

The lords present all saluted Sylvia to show their respect, and Sylvia said: "Now, let’s discuss the issue of the unified sale of blue bricks." , The atmosphere on the court suddenly became subtle. Sylvia's eyes flowed, said with a lovable smile: "It seems that everyone has no opinion on Sir Anthony's proposal, so please follow it."

tone barely fell, everyone looked towards Duke York's younger brother Fred .York Viscount. Fred inwardly complained in one's heart. At this time, he can only brace oneself and say: "His Royal Highness, this big harvest is not bad, but buying straw is a big burden. Buying cattle, sheep and green wheat has spent all my savings, I I have to spend a sum of money to hire free men to build a stream and reservoir. I don’t have any money at the moment. I hope that my family will allow me to sell a batch of iron essence ingots to maintain the expenses of the territory."

Home Affairs Officer Anthony returned After Black Castle Town, they proposed the strategy of raising the canal with bricks. The vassal lords of the York family are very happy. They have tasted the sweetness of the new farming and pastoral system, and the stream reservoir and artificial canal themselves are the extension of the new farming and pastoral system. Assure. Then Anthony proposed that Viscount Randal would lead the sales of blue bricks, with unified pricing and unified sales, and gave ample reasons and detailed plans. However, most of the vassal lords were very dissatisfied. They did not know that the agricultural and pastoral system and water conservancy projects were all made by Victor. Instead, they believed that although Victor was meritorious to the family, he could not occupy Sylvia's favor and interfere with the internal affairs of other families. In addition to the benefits brought by the blue bricks, the vassal lords are more worried about Victor's influence on Sylvia, but because of Sylvia's authority, no one is willing to come forward.

Fred didn't mention anything about the sale of blue bricks. Instead, he asked for the sale of iron essence ingots. The lords secretly cursed him for cunning. Sure enough, Duke York jumped out and objected loudly: "I absolutely disagree! We haven't developed Centaur Hills for a long time, and the family's own iron essence reserves are not enough. How can we rush to sell iron essence ingots? The most difficult thing in the family? When selling iron essence ingots, other families will only get stuck in the throat. They will force us to sign an agreement to sell iron essence at a low price in exchange for support. Then what have we become? Are other families’ miners? Everyone, tighten your pockets, absolutely Don’t let the iron essence mine flow out! A few years later, at the price of iron essence, our York family can do half of the master!"

"Then I really can’t help it. Kingsall won’t be from the sky. Falling down." Fred shrugged said helplessly.

Bruce gave a dry cough and slowly said: "I agree with Your Excellency Anthony's suggestion. If we stick to it for another two years, we don't need to look at the faces of other families."

"hmph ! Of course you don’t have to worry. Who doesn’t know that Bruce and Viscount Randal have the best relationship! Lord Randal’s leading sales of blue bricks will certainly not forget you!” Great Knight Hanas said with a sneer.

"Hanas! What did you say?!" Bruce stood up and said angrily.

Hanas ignored Bruce who was glaring at him, but said to Sylvia: "His Royal Highness, my territory is in the north, and it is most vulnerable to the invasion of monsters and wild beasts in the north. I urgently need to build a stream reservoir. , Increase the number of villages and expand the control over the territory. Otherwise, I can only re-bring cattle and sheep and plant alfalfa. But my finances are very tight, and it is very difficult for me to buy wheat stalks from the leaders, so I still have the ability Pay for the construction of the stream and reservoir? Because...well, I don’t know how Mr. Randal feels about me. Please order Mr. Randal to sell my blue bricks first."

Hanas Originally the Great Knight of the Three Eastern Provinces, after his lord was hanged by Neowest, Hanas and another Great Knight joined the York family and were conferred as Baron. Sylvia originally planned to give Nicole to Hanas as his personal maid, but Nicole became Victor’s lover. Because of this relationship, Hanas was very worried about being targeted by Victor. He also ignored the feelings of other lords. Anxiously jumped out to fight for their own interests.

The lords remained silent, but Sylvia knew their thoughts very well. The sale of blue bricks may be a small profit, but the stream and reservoir supported by the blue brick trade cannot be ignored. The construction of a stream reservoir means that thousands of mu of arable land will be added. If there is arable land, there will be output, and the new farming and pastoral system can be promoted. So why should Victor decide the sale of blue bricks by each family? It is precisely because of the close relationship with Victor that it is difficult for Sylvia to express his position on this issue. On the contrary, Duke York very much agrees with Victor's sales strategy. He believes that a unified blue brick trade will help the family to open up a new situation.

"Hanas Baron, your territory is more than 600 kilometers away from Randal. How are you going to transport the blue bricks? What price do you plan to set?" Duke York asked.

"This..."

Hanas Baron was speechless, and Duke York continued: "Let's do this, I allow you to sell blue bricks. Then who are you going to sell to? It seems that only our neighbor to the east is Duke Nimes. Duke Nimes has a good relationship with us. He just lent us a lot of money, but what about his conditions? We can only buy cattle and sheep from Duke Nimes. , And the price he gave was a full 50% higher than the market! What price do you think Duke Nimes would use to buy the blue brick? You must know that active peddling and door-to-door purchase are completely two prices."

"At the same time we acquired the territory, the family's business routes were also cut off. Although the Chamber of Commerce of Wimbledon's family exchanged green wheat and iron for our purple cane wine, the large Chamber of Commerce must remain neutral to survive, so Marquis Sophia impossible to give us more support. We are being isolated! We need new trading partners to get rid of the kingdom’s grip on us!"

"Viscount Randal traded with the southern lord Count Chebman. The Solim family has fallen, and their influence on the southern lords is getting smaller and smaller. The southern lords’ bloodline is now a piece of sand! This is the opportunity for us to build a new trade route in the southern part of the kingdom."

" Everyone, forgive me to speak bluntly, you don’t understand business!"

Duke York imposing manner fully propped up the table. As the most business-minded person in the family, he has always been in control of the family’s financial power. . Duke York is the authority of the family in the field of trade.

"Well, everyone’s finances are very difficult. I will reluctantly buy the wheat stalks in your hands. Anyway, these wheat stalks are useless, so I will trade at 30% of your purchase price. How about ?"

Duke York rolled his eyes and made a painful expression. It’s a pity that everyone here knows Duke York’s character well. Terlandon count took the lead to stand up and say: "No! No! The family has already exempted us from worship, so how can we let the family continue to support us? I can. Solve the cost of purchasing wheat stalks by yourself."

Although they have not yet figured out the value of wheat stalks, the rest of the lords have also said that they can overcome the difficulties. In this way, the lords of the York family reached a consensus on the unified sales of blue bricks.

After the meeting, Sylvia returned to Rose Manor. It didn't take long before Great Knight Tracey rushed over.

Seeing Sylvia's disinterested look, Tracey asked in surprise: "You seem a little unhappy?"

Sylvia said with a smile: "You know the family meeting What's the content?"

Tracey nodded, said: "My big brother just talked to me. The plan of unified sales of blue bricks has been supported by everyone. You should be happy."

Sylvia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why should I be happy? Just because Victor is my lover?"

"Actually, I am opposed to this issue, but Enbis is very Support Victor’s strategy. A long time ago, Enbis also put forward a similar point of view. He once wanted to integrate the family’s internal trade, sourcing and selling together, but was resisted by everyone. Now Victor’s views coincide with him. , Enbis would like to prove that a unified sales strategy can capture more benefits."

"Isn't this bad?" Tracey asked suspiciously.

"Not good at all!" Sylvia said angrily.

"I suddenly discovered that our relationship with Victor is not as close as I imagined. Victor was originally the same as other vassal lords. Any output must be sold in Black Castle Town. Purchased in Black Castle Town. But now? Victor has been hooking up with the Chebman family for a while, and if this continues, is Victor a part of our York family or a part of the Southern Lords? Moreover, once Victor builds the town, The status of Black Castle Town will be challenged! At that time, the royal family will come forward to win over Victor."

"Why is this?"

Tracey was shocked to discover that he had taken shelter in the family completely. The little lord of has the possibility of losing control.

Sylvia said with a bitter smile: "Self-sufficiency is the key. In the past, Victor's food shortage was completely dependent on Black Castle Town, and the farming and pastoral system he designed not only allowed us to quickly restore our vitality, but also his own It will also get rid of the situation of insufficient food. A self-sufficient family does not need to rely on anyone. Moreover, to the east of Randal is the loose bloodline of the southern lord, it is easy for Victor to find a breakthrough."

"We still have a restraint gate!" Tracey said weakly.

Sylvia glanced at her sideways, and said coldly: "This is where I regret the most. I shouldn't seal that territory to Feniksi. She has no resistance to Victor. Feniksi Even handed over his territory affairs to Victor?! hmph! The two of them are like a husband and wife!"

Tracey froze for a moment and said with a smile: "Are you jealous?"

Sylvia said lazily: "Forget it. Don't forget, Victor was given to me by Sophia."

"I think there is something wrong with your mentality. Victor does not have Knight after all. At least in the military, he needs our protection."

"The Wind Travel innate talent is far stronger than you think." Sylvia shook her head and sighed, "Frankly tell you, Victor cultivated Drawin's battle. Skill is now completely comparable to Silver Knight. In fact, in complex terrain conditions, Silver Knight is already very difficult to threaten Victor. Even in close combat, ordinary Knight is not his opponent. If physical strength and defensive power are not considered Factor, Victor is a Wind Element Great Knight!"

"Are you sure?" Tracey asked suspiciously.

Sylvia rolled the eyes and said, "You don’t think that every time we have a tryst we just talk about love, do you? Victor’s martial skill was pointed out by me personally, and he can now show it on the weapon. Wind Element, ordinary Knights can’t resist this kind of attack.” After speaking, Sylvia looked at Tracey’s beautiful face, said with a lovable smile: “Would you like to try it yourself? I won’t. Jealous."

Tracey pretty face blushed, angrily said: "What nonsense?!"

Sylvia said resolutely: "Seriously, Victor is extremely domestic and business. With innate talent, he also has the silver rank battle strength. We must realize that he is no longer the little Baron."

"Then what are you going to do?"

" Marriage, of course! This is the tradition of the nobility." Sylvia smiled and said: "Choose two female trainee Knights from the family and serve as personal servants for Victor. Victor, as a viscount, is not insulting them."

Tracey is silently nodded, nobles can marry a wife and three close maids. Although the status of the wife is much higher than that of the close maids, the close maids are also legal partners, and their descendants also have the right of inheritance. This kind of marriage is very common among the nobles, and the marriage itself means the relationship of blood alliance. Victor married the female trainee Knight of the York family. Equivalent to was branded with the York family, which means that he will become the lord of the Centaur Hills family.

"Waiting for Victor to marry the family's female trainee Knight, I look forward to him opening up the situation in the Southern Lords."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

Sylvia raised her eyebrows and screamed: "If he dares not agree, I will invite him to the Rose Manor as a guest until he agrees!"
