Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 85: Choice of Jiancheng

Chapter 85 Candidates for City Construction

Early the next morning, Joske, Shadekampf, and Patt took fifty Imperial Guard members and twenty four-wheeled carriage members to the mine. One was to rescue the Norton Family members who were thrown at the mine for mining. Mercenary was hired by the more than 30 people who guarded the copper mine.

Bearded by Orville Keith and Reidy, more than a hundred coachmen have been organized into a garrison squad, responsible for the guarding work of the two city walls. The remaining seventy Imperial Guard members are responsible for the caretaker of nearly a thousand slaves labor(er) and more than forty surrendered Mercenary.

These were negotiated last night. Originally, Lorist wanted to go to the mine in person, but it was unanimously opposed. Joske said that Lorist, the head of the family, rushed ahead, which made me feel ashamed and useless as the family Knight(s). Well, once this sentence said Lorist had to promise to let Joske take Shadekampf and Patt to take a trip and sit on this castle site by themselves.

After sending away Joske and his party, Lorist went around and went back to the house on the wall, staring at the big sand table, the more thoughts they felt. Kenmays Family has just obtained Territory in less than two years, and it is able to work out such a huge Territory development plan. Norton Family has been rooted in Northern Land for more than two hundred years. After seven generations of family owners, instead of developing the family Territory, they are trapped in Northern Land. The family is shrinking. Until now, they can only stay in the family's manor castle and install turtles. Already.

Lorist didn't want to understand what happened to the family, so he turned a blind eye to Viscount Kenmays's Norton Family Territory. Half a year ago, Viscount Kenmays sent troops to attack the Norton Family manor castle. Norton Family was able to defend the castle and Viscount Kenmays confrontation for more than half a month to force Lord Viscount to retreat. The surrendered hired Mercenary leader also said that dozens of people died on the Lord Viscount side, which shows that Norton Family is not behind. According to common sense, Viscount Kenmays retreats, then Norton Family should send scouts to monitor its retreat. But the family did not even send a spy. What happened?

Maybe the family already sent a spy, but they are not concerned about Viscount Kenmays, Lorist remembered the words of the Mercenary boss, there was a person who had found Norton Family over the copper mine, glanced at it and found that the mine was occupied and then retreated. Ugh. When are they still thinking about the copper mine revenue. Also, since the mine was found to be occupied, then at least you have to be concerned about the whereabouts of the family children working in the copper mine. For half a year, there is no move to send an messenger to negotiate with Viscount Kenmays, which is too strange.

Although Lorist is only one day away from Norton Family's manor castle, it can be reached in a day. But now Lorist can't leave things here and run back. How should the nearly 10,000 slaves labor(er) settle down, and how to dispose of the more than 40 surrendered employees Mercenary, what to do if this castle site is occupied by itself and it will be like a mess. Lorist misses Charade. If Charade is present, you don't need to worry about these things yourself.

When I think of Charade, I think of Potterfang, Ross, Els, Terman, Yuri and my family Knight(s). I do n’t know if they led the family caravan to return to the road, and how long it takes family caravan to reach Northern Land. When they arrived at Northern Land with their family caravan, they did not know if they could prepare for the arrival and settlement of caravan.

Remembering caravan's huge staff, Lorist felt a headache. With the temperament of Charade, I wonder how many people will there be when caravan reaches the family Territory, 20,000? Or thirty thousand? How to place these people who arrived with caravan at that time is really troublesome.

Lorist looked at the big sand table, and suddenly his eyes brightened. Isn't this a ready-made resettlement plan? You can directly take the Kenmays Family plan and implement it. If you continue to build the castle here, then the thousands of slaves, labor(er), have also worked hard, so you don't need to worry about how to place them. After the castle is built, you can continue to build that mountain city. After the mountain city is built, they will be free and resettled in place to become their own leaders.

As for the cost of building the castle, Lorist is not short of money. The only thing to worry about is two issues. One is the person who presides over building the castle. You must find someone who understands architecture, even if you have drawings. Understood. The second is the materials that need to be purchased externally. Kenmays Family is the largest Chamber of Commerce in the former Empire construction industry. It can be said that it is extremely convenient to develop Territory to build castles. Whether it is labor staff or building capital, it is easy to allocate and complete. Lorist doesn't have this ability. Maybe Kenmays Family found that Lorist will continue to do a lot of work in the continuation of their development plan, and give Lorist some trouble.

"Come here, bring the old bearded man, oh, the housekeeper named Boris." Lorist said to the Imperial Guard team member standing outside.

Steward Boris was quickly brought over. Lorist looked at the castle's drawings and asked him some details about the construction, and asked about some trends of Kenmays Family.

Steward Boris said that Viscount Kenmays is not in Red River Valley Manor Castle of Territory, but is the most prosperous Jill Dusk City in Loggins Grand Duke(s) Territory. He bought a big house there as Viscount. Since a cousin of Viscount Kenmays became the mistress of Loggins Grand Duke(s), Kenmays Family has been very close to Loggins Grand Duke(s). In the process of preparing for the establishment of Northern Land Legion in Loggins Grand Duke(s), Kenmays Family has also made great efforts.

Viscount Kenmays lives in Jill Dusk City and has a few intentions. At first, I like to be lively, like to hold luxurious Aristocrat(s) cocktail party and so on, and work with the lady Young Lady. I hate staying in the remote Territory castle. The second reason is to maintain a good relationship with Loggins Grand Duke(s). In order to cope with the goods delivered by the family, Sanlai passed the checkpoint of Freid Castle. After all, Lord Viscount picked up and picked up personally, and Loggins Grand Duke(s) is not good at forcibly levying Kenmays Family materials caravan. It means that one or two vehicles are enough.

Now the Red River Valley Manor Castle of Kenmays Family Territory has become a material transfer station. According to a predetermined plan, a large amount of materials will be delivered to the castle site here on the 10th of next month. It is estimated that it will be 3,000 barrels of Gum Cane Juice, a batch of construction tools, five One hundred thousand pounds of grain and some clothing cloth. One thousand slaves labor(er) may be escorted over, and more than two hundred female slaves will accompany them.

"Is the female slave the family of these slaves labor(er)?" Lorist asked casually.

"Uh, no, Lord(s), those slaves labor(er) are all young and strong, to prevent them from causing trouble, so they need to give them some rewards. These female slaves are used as rewards. The good performing slave labor(er) can be a female slave Overnight, this is a very effective way to soothe the slave labor(er) by Kenmays Family for a long time, "said Steward Boris.

Day, it was said that these female slaves came here to work as prostitutes. Lorist shook his head and said nothing: "Is Kenmays Family rich? I heard that you donated 200,000 gold fordes to Second Prince in order to get Territory. In the past two years, we have built Red River Valley Manor Castle. Immigration towns have cost a lot, and we plan to use them for five years. Time invested 300,000 gold fordes in the development of the Morgen Hills. Without the liquidity of one million gold fordes, there is no such confidence.

Lorist pointed his finger at the big sand table on the table.

Steward Boris said: "Lord(s), judging from my more than 40 years of experience at Kenmays Family, in fact Kenmays Family already is going downhill. I have always suspected that Lord insisted on the development of the Morgen Hills, and the construction of this castle and the mountain town was for Kenmays Family Keep a back road. In the previous years of the Empire civil war, Kenmays Family did not earn much money at all. Since the establishment of Iberia Kingdom by Second Prince, although Kenmays Family is still the upper-class family of the kingdom, it has always been embarrassing. Like developing the Morgen Hills, it is said With the investment of 300,000 gold fordes, the budget for the construction of this castle and the mountain city is only 100,000, and the remaining 200,000 is the funds for immigration and material reserve after the construction is completed.

"One hundred thousand? Impossible, I estimate that it will cost seven or eight hundred thousand to build this castle. One hundred thousand gold fordes should be impossible to complete the construction of this castle and mountain city." Lorist said.

"Lord(s), in fact, the budget of this castle is only 30,000. The big one is Gum Cane Juice, which is expected to need 12,000 barrels. The rest is the consumption of food and some materials. The manpower is Chamber of Commerce's construction slave labor(er), which does not require money. There are other building materials nearby, just take a moment to collect. Like this completed city wall, which consumes 2,000 barrels of Gum Cane Juice, the materials for making green clay are collected on-site. "

Well, according to Steward Boris, the construction of this castle and that mountain city can be collected in situ except for Gum Cane Juice, which is great news.

"Then Steward Boris, what is the amount of materials stored here, should you know?" Lorist asked.

Yesterday occupied the castle site. Shadekampf set off with the Joske and went to the copper mine early in the morning. The materials here have not yet been counted.

"Lord(s), in the past four months, three batches of supplies have been delivered from Red River Valley Manor Castle. Each batch is mainly Gum Cane Juice and grain. Each time Gum Cane Juice is 3,000 barrels, build this road. The city wall already used 2,000 barrels, and now there are more than 7,000 barrels in the warehouse. If 3,000 barrels are shipped next month on the 10th next month, the estimated 12,000 barrels Gum Cane Juice will be available for the construction of the castle. The materials are mainly stored in grain. These are pre-made plans and arrangements, and they will not change if there is no accident. Now there is not much grain in the warehouse, and there are about 40,000 kilograms. The original plan was the next The supplies arrived just on the 10th of the month. Now that Lord(s) has occupied this place, the supplies may not come. So Lord(s) has to prepare more food to deal with the slaves labor(er). "

Steward Boris took a look at Lorist, and then said, "Lord(s), the food of the slaves labor(er) has a certain amount. Because of heavy work, the amount of each person is three pounds per day, one pound in the morning, one and a half pounds at noon, and evening It is half a catty. The food consumed by the nearly 1,000 slaves, labor(er), is about 100,000 catties per month. If Lord(s) wants to use these slaves, labor(er), the food must be prepared in advance, and it cannot be neglected.

Lorist stood up, walked to Steward Boris, patted his shoulder and said, "Steward Boris, you are very good, very good. As long as you can do your best, we will not treat you Norton Family. You first Go on. "

"Yes, Lord(s)." Steward Boris gave a bow and was about to leave. Lorist remembered something again.

"Hey, wait. Steward Boris, where did Kenmays Family get so many defenders ballista?"

Bollery's housekeeper replied: "Lord(s), these defensive ballistas are all made now, not shipped over. Three years ago, when Kenmays Family went to buy a slave to build labor(er), they bought a pair of father and son. They are Tring The well-known crossbow Grand-master of the Kingdom of Bethlehem was sold as a slave because it offended the power. Although Kenmays Family became Territory Aristocrat(s), it lacked the details, no good family Knight(s), and no formal Territory defense team, so it had to hire Mercenary. In order to strengthen the defense here , Just sent the father and son over to make the defender ballista. "

"You mean the father and son are here?"

"Yes, Lord(s), they stayed with the slaves labor(er)." Steward Boris said.

"So, Steward Boris, please take the father and son out and settle down again. They are very useful to me. You, take a trip with Steward Boris to help him complete the task." Lorist to the Imperial Guard guarding at the door. The team member said.

"Yes, Lord(s)."

...

Lorist is thinking slowly as he orbits the table around the sand table slowly in the room. The food that Steward Boris said is not a problem. The caravan that I brought with me this time carried more than 100,000 kilograms of food. It is still guaranteed for more than one month. After returning to the family, you can also allocate a batch of food from the family. Maybe you can still think about the batch of food and supplies delivered by Kenmays Family next month, but it's too early to worry about it.

Today already is February 32nd. They will be back tomorrow Jost. The day after tomorrow will be February 34th. In any case, Lorist will also return to the family's manor castle. Just after Lorist, who should be in charge of building the castle here? Joske is impossible, he is a lone ranger, the most annoying thing is the trivial matter. Previously, he was going to ask him to bring out a bow cavalry, but he felt boring after a few days. He threw the selected bow cavalry to the light cavalry scout team of Yuri and left it alone.

Shadekampf and Patt have to go back with themselves. They have to go back for business, and Lorist first arrived in the family's manor castle. Many things depend on their care and guidance. Joske, Reidy and Orville Keith sit here, plus a Imperial Guard squadron and a garrison squadron, the defensive strength is enough. I just don't know how long Lorist will stay in the family's manor castle. The construction of the city here must be personally responsible.

"Bring the building Grand-master." Lorist commanded.

The unlucky egg that was hit by fifty whip yesterday was brought to the front of Lorist. The proud building Grand-master sheds hair, the clothes are broken, the blood on the whip is still there, and the steps are faltering.

"Grandmaster Ciroba? Disrespect yesterday. I am the local Lord(s) Norton Lorist. I want to continue to build this castle. I wonder if you would like to work for me and be responsible for the construction of this castle? I will give you a generous reward." Lorist said sincerely.

The Grandmaster Ciroba glanced at Lorist with a grievous glance, probably because he had learned the lesson of being whiped last night and stopped talking. He just spit on the ground and looked up at the roof, showing disdain for Lorist.

Lorist laughed absurdly, and said to the Imperial Guard player who escorted Grandmaster Ciroba: "He dirty my house. Should I ask him to kneel down and clean up his spit?" >

"Lord(s), this is a good idea." The Imperial Guard team member answered with a serious answer.

Grandmaster Ciroba is full-headed ...

"Forget it, it's not hard for him. He's so young and so incompetent. He spitting everywhere. Take him down." Lorist said.

...
