Chapter 35

It took two days to finalize the matters over the iron mine. Gray returned to the palace again. This time, the palace has regained its previous lively appearance. Groups of servants came in and out, kept busy with their own affairs, and everyone's face was filled with a smile.

Then came the time of the alternation between the old and new nobles. Although Gray had the idea of not enfeoffing the land and taking it all as his own, he still sealed many nobles out at one go, but there were not many big nobles. Even the Marquis of Riley was the only Marquis on the surface, and even the count was short of a big stubble.

However, because he said that the credit was halved, there were more little nobles such as barons and more viscountees.

Gray's idea is that he will never enfeoffe the Marquis again. The count has only one small town and can't turn the sky anyway. When the Marquis Riley is old, people will gradually forget the marquis. In the future, the highest title is the count.

No matter how many of the seven or eight earls were, they were not enough for him to suppress. I believe that no one would come up with some ideas at that time.

And the territory of the new aristocracy is the same as that of the old aristocracy. They can quickly help gray solve the problems left by the old aristocracy.

As for those aristocratic territories that were not sealed off, gray quickly sent appropriate officials to manage them.

And the rebels. Gray left all of them who were close friends of the nobility. He let them return to the fields to work. They were not allowed to join the army without his call.

Two more days passed after finishing these.

Gray finally had time to prepare his plan. He found twenty excellent farmers from the Kingdom and sent five assistants each. Each of them allocated ten mu of land and a bag of seeds to plant their own land.

These are the high-yield crops he brought back from the ink heart. They are easy to survive and have strong adaptability, such as sweet potato, corn, rice and so on. Of course, there are some seasonings such as pepper and pepper.

No way. As a king, he thinks he can think of making the people satisfied. He is a qualified king. It is not wrong to seek some benefits for himself.

As for the origin of these things, gray made up another story, saying that he couldn't bear to see the people starving, so he specially asked the fairies in the lake.

For these seeds, he experienced twelve difficult tests. The first test was that he killed a ferocious giant lion for the fairy in the lake from the distant forest and stripped the lion's fur;

In the second test, he killed a snake Warcraft with nine heads. The fairy in the lake called the Warcraft Hydra;

The third test, he caught a beautiful golden DOE for the fairy in the lake... The twelfth time, he killed a terrifying three headed dog with an eternal flame, and took back the soul of a beautiful girl from it.

Even if the great king doesn't want to take credit and wants to deal with it in a low-key way, the maid feels that for the sweat he has paid for the people, someone must publicize his Majesty's reputation, remember his contribution to the people and the greatness of their king.

Gray refused again and again before he wrote his deeds into a book. He was ready to send one to everyone when these crops were fully promoted. It was not important to be illiterate. What was important was that his majesty should not be biased. He should be fair and just and only send it to literate people. That was discrimination. His great majesty would not do such a thing.

"Your majesty!"

"Are you Frodo? The best architect in the kingdom? " Gray looked at the humble middle-aged man in front of him, slapping his hand with a stack of paper.

"Yes, your majesty!" Frodo is not modest at all. Although his face is still humble, gray can see that he has great confidence in his architectural skills.

Gray nodded. What he needed was such talent. Let the soldiers give him the drawing. Gray asked directly, "look, can you build this drawing with your ability!"

Ten minutes later, Frodo looked at the drawing like his lover. "God, God, this is really a great creation. I don't know which master's masterpiece this is. I don't know if I can have the opportunity to meet this master. I want to ask him face-to-face for some questions."

Gray clenched his fist and coughed gently at his mouth. He waved his hand carelessly and said, "these are what I drew casually. How, can you build them?"

"Yes, of course. Your majesty, you are indeed a person illuminated by glory. Your strength is known all over the world, but your great knowledge has just revealed a corner, which is enough to make everyone ashamed. I beg you, please be sure to give me this glorious task!" Frodo knelt on one knee and said sincerely and enthusiastically with the highest etiquette.

Gray felt that if there were no guards, the guy might rush up and kiss his shoes.

"Of course, dear Frodo, your ability is enough to be recognized by me. I am very relieved to give you this task." Gray nodded, not moved by his emotions, still looking very indifferent, "and when you finish this task, I will give you 20 gold coins as your reward."

"Thank you for your trust, my majesty. I will offer you my most sincere loyalty and build you the greatest king's castle in the world."

Frodo continued to boast, and then said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, your design is unprecedented. I have never seen such an excellent design. I really can't understand some places. Could you please explain it to me so that I can better understand this picture and build the most perfect castle and the most powerful city for your majesty?"

"Of course, your honesty and studiousness moved me. If you don't understand anything, please don't hesitate to mention it and I'll answer it one by one." Gray nodded, not timid at all.

This drawing is designed according to his requirements. Although the designer will design according to his own style and add some facilities that gray did not expect, because gray is a big customer, he will explain to gray what design the other party has and tell him the function of such design.

So Gray's understanding of this drawing is not much worse than that of the designer. Isn't he the designer himself? It's right to understand these things.

Faced with the questions raised by Frodo, gray gave answers one by one. After Frodo asked the last question, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, your design is really amazing. I don't think anyone can design a better Castle than your drawing."

"Your Majesty, I can't wait to start building this great castle for you. Where do you want to build it?"

"Here, of course!" Gray's finger pointed to a sea cliff in the north of the Kingdom on the map. There was a river entering the sea from the front of the sea cliff.

"I knew it!" Frodo looked at the drawing. "This estuary must be the wharf you designed above?"

"Yes, you are really smart!" Gray nodded. "With this wharf, the transportation of materials across the country will be more convenient, and our people will become richer and richer!"

"You are a kind king. Thank you!"

"Go, those stubborn rebels and some criminals of the kingdom are your labor. I will equip you with 200 soldiers and 100 experienced people to build this castle!"

"Yes, your majesty, you won't wait long!"
