Chapter 586

Months passed in a flash.

Wu Ming's eyes also returned to Searle's world at a time when King Ding Wu pheasant was on both land and water, and a hundred thousand troops invaded Lingzhou.

In the blood red universe, Searle continent, as the core of the universe, also experienced a period of time.

Windfly plains, Tucker mountains, Caroline.

The whole territory has already undergone earth shaking changes. Several main roads run through it, on which you can often see the bustling flow of people, traffic, caravan, day after day.

In the center of Carlos collar, a castle has been erected, towering and tall, which is thicker and stronger than the ordinary Baron's castle.

This is the iron castle, the ruling center of Carlos, where the Knights William Wallace lived and worked.

Inside the iron fort.

The pink big bed is full of the smell of powder.

Wu Ming stood up half naked, ordered the maid to come in, took the towel, wiped her face, and came to the balcony. Looking at the warm sun rising to the East, he felt a slight shock.

Just now, the super dimensional channel of the universe opened again, making him receive the information from the Buddha.

"I came to this world not to have peace in the world, but to make the earth a sword!"

He murmured.

"Dear..."

A lazy voice came from behind: "what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, my beautiful housekeeper!"

Wu Ming turned and looked at Amelia. The beautiful woman's face was reddish and radiant.

"Let's continue what we talked about last night... Have you finished your report and summary?"

He put on a robe made of silk and went to the next hall. A steaming breakfast was already ready on the dining table. On the silver tableware, the thin cut steak gave off an attractive smell. Next to it were white bread and butter, and the boiled milk was white.

The rattan basket in the center of the dining table was also full of freshly collected berries, and the dew on it was shining brightly. In the seasoning bottle on one side, there are a lot of pepper, refined salt, and various valuable spices.

"The business statistics of last month have come out. From refined salt and glass, we have gained 15300 gold Delong... Here are the specific transaction and tax situation!"

Amelia holds an account book and looks at Wu Ming at this time. She is in a trance.

What a wonderful thing it would have been if the young man had married her daughter.

As a housekeeper, she knew that the passing of these years not only made the knight become a mature man, but also made his wealth accumulate to the point that even the gods would envy him.

"In terms of population, the newly-built Lvsen town has been put into use, with a special area designated for the workers living in saltworks, glass factories and iron and steel workshops. At this time, the permanent population has reached tens of thousands, and the monthly floating population has remained at more than 3000... Most of them are businessmen and wanderers from all over the country, and there is a steady stream of wild people coming to take refuge, Maybe they also heard about the name of the master's kindness

A large number of workshops were built, which represented a huge demand for human and material resources. Wu Ming gave these workers good treatment, and deliberately sent people to spread it. In particular, he ordered the bards to make a popular tune, which was popular all over the country. This attracted many free people and even serfs to come here, looking for opportunities to survive and even get rich.

Even in the territories bordering Karos, there have been organized serfs fleeing here. Even the gallows can't scare them. For this reason, the Lords of those territories have written to Wu Ming many times to complain.

"These are small things, but the gathering of people will inevitably lead to public security problems. I don't want my territory to become a battlefield. I hope my public security officer can manage these well!"

Wu Ming added.

In Karos, punishment for criminal acts has always been known for its cruelty. Even the regular army has allocated a lot of people to garrison in the towns and places.

Once a thief is caught, the only punishment is to demote him to slavery, to be a basic and humble laborer in a quarry, salt mill, or workshop, and to work all his life to death.

The gallows in front of the town are set up for the people who gather to fight and hurt others maliciously.

It is because of the severe punishment and the army's pressure that the security environment of Carlos is barely good. Otherwise, it is hard to say what will happen.

"As a matter of fact... Joanne often comes to me and complains that he has too few young men!"

Amelia gave a bitter smile.

"You can tell him that he doesn't have to worry about this problem, because I'm going to allocate 100 recruits with relatively poor results to join the security forces."

Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"That's great... It's just..."

Amelia glanced at Wu Ming carefully: "is it too much for our territory to maintain a regular army of 500 people all the time?"

She knows the strength of her territory best.

There are 500 regular soldiers, but in fact, those who work hard in factories, saltworks and quarries are all first-class and strong adult men. Because they have been under command for a long time, they have a high degree of organization and discipline, and even take part in militia training on rest days.

As long as they are in danger, they are equipped at will, and they are a terrible army!

"In fact, even the count is very worried about the power of our Wallace family. Of course, he is also very dissatisfied with your several delays and not going to Wuthering castle for Knight baptism!"

It can be said that before Wu Ming made any mistakes, even if the Earl of blue mountain wanted to handle Carlos, he could not do it.

But Wu Ming smelled more from it.

"It seems that... Our wealth is too much, causing the covet of others! Jin Delong, who has contributed in the past years, can't feed the Warcraft of blue mountain! "

He sighed and said slowly.

He has known such a day for a long time since he worked hard to develop the territory.

After all, although knights are also part of the aristocracy, their power is still too low to suppress too many covets for wealth.

"What does he want?"

After Wu Ming had enough to eat and drink, he crossed his fingers and asked in a deep voice.

In a few years, not only did he grow up to 25 years old, but also he had a wide range of knowledge.

For example, the knight baptism can only be carried out once, and no matter how much is behind, it has no effect. The assimilation effect of the superior blood will repel other extraordinary blood.

With this premise, Wu Ming naturally declined the invitation of Knight baptism several times for the reason that he "wanted to continue to exercise himself in order to get a better promotion.".

For the Earl of blue mountain at the beginning, it was quite cost-effective. At least he gained a knight's fighting power and saved a share of holy oil.

But now, he began to worry about whether it was a sign of Sir William's disloyalty.

"He wants a lot, but he is also ready to give you something... For example, he will marry a daughter to you, and you will have to pay 50000 gold dowry, or the secret recipe of refined salt, sugar and glass, the best-selling commodities in our territory!"

Amelia whispered.

"Just a daughter wants to get so many things. Does he think his daughter is made of pure gold?"

Wu Ming sneered.

The Earl of blue mountain is also an alien among the nobles. He is famous for his fertility, but most of his descendants are daughters. The boys either die young or are sick. Up to now, seven or eight daughters can't find suitable husbands.

"Pay attention to your words, master!"

Amelia reminded: "the count of blue mountain is your prince after all. You are his vassal and have a duty to him!"

"Yes! Obligation... "

Wu Ming sighed that he had not yet overturned the power of the whole aristocratic class, and even his own wealth had to rely on the protection of such rules. Naturally, he had to follow the rules of the game.

"So every year, I send out 100 adult men to serve my feudal monarch free of charge, and bear part of his military expenses, which makes my monarch recover his military equipment, and even begin to prepare for war..."

He shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Viscount Garcia is by no means a man waiting to die. He will ignore the count's provocations. You can wait and see. The second battle of liger is about to begin!"

Because the Earl of blue mountain claimed the reincarnation of blue tiger, and the Viscount Garcia came from the noble family of Highlands, the nobles of Fengying plain called their first war the battle between lion and tiger.

In the first battle of the lion tiger, it ended with the defeat of the tiger and a daughter.

But now, the Earl of blue mountain is obviously not willing to be defeated, and wants to regain his glory and establish authority.

"Master, as a knight of the count, you will definitely be called up in the war!"

Amelia reminded her master, "so you can't quarrel with the count."

"I know... This marriage, first delay, tell the count, I'll think about it..."

Wu Ming thought quickly.

Compared with the past, he passively caters to the chaos of the world. This time, he is also a behind the scenes driver.

It can be said that if it wasn't for his farming, which greatly revitalized the economy in the Earl's territory of blue mountain and restored the Earl's strength to a certain extent, the idea of finding the place would not have arisen.

Of course, for knights, war is the biggest gamble.

If you succeed, you may be canonized as a baron and become a real aristocratic family.

In case of failure, the former Knight Carlos is the best example.

"The world, after all, can't escape the war..."

Wu Ming sighed that this is the only way to truly change the whole world, to gain a huge amount of force, and to accumulate resources for the breakthrough of Jinxian!
