Chapter 309

In the last month of the glorious calendar 7568, the rumor of the double headed dragon itugos swept blinor like a storm, and the center of the storm was the human horse hills in the western border of the kingdom.

At present, the most talked about topics in the streets of the king's capital of Gambis, the salon dances held by nobles and the pubs gathered by civilians are undoubtedly the Dragon killing feat of the high-ranking Knights of the York family and the church clergy. Incidentally, the deeds of the York family in annihilating the ant army and defending the pioneering leader were also revealed.

With the help of the people with the intention, the Renma hill has become a peaceful and peaceful place. The exiles who were unhappy were ready to move. They wanted to go to the horse hills to try their luck and see if they could become the leader of the York family.

Of course, the royal family secretly sent people to spread the news. The huge number of refugees overwhelmed the city of brinor. The adults in the court couldn't wait to divert the excess population. With the help of the York family's reputation of killing dragons, it is a great opportunity to guide the refugees to move west.

Regent Williams will not be happy about this. In fact, he knew for the first time that itugos, who was killed by Sylvia, was a rare alienated dragon lizard. The York family's purchase list was placed on the desk, which was filled with rare medicinal materials needed to cultivate alienated war animals.

This list makes Williams feel uneasy. As the deputy head of the Xunlong knights, he knows what alienated warbeasts mean to a family.

Dissimilated war beasts are equivalent to large ferocious animals. Their strength, speed and physique are above that of knights. Their weakness is that they have low intelligence and fight by instinct. However, knights may be able to kill a alienated warbeast, but not all nobles can become knights, and the royal family does not have golden knights from generation to generation. Alienated warbeasts can maintain a relatively stable number every year. If the family has strong financial resources, it can also expand the scale of the warbeast team.

At the beginning of the founding of Gambis, the augustian family had no peak knights, but more than 400 fierce fast dragons were enough to make any force look at them.

If the castle is the shield of the family, then the alienated war beast is the sword to deter the opponent. This is a strategic force enough to support a kingdom.

Unfortunately, alienated creatures can not be met, and most families do not have alienated war beasts.

At present, the shining knights are known to the world together with the horn Wolves of the Sassanian royal family, the unicorn of the RAND imperial leader and dodo, the eagle lion beast of the Barcelona family, the sword mantis of Neville, the fast dragon of Gambis, and the five alienated war beasts. In the future, we may also add the alienated warbeasts of the York family.

Thinking of this, Williams became more and more agitated. He left his seat, went to the window and looked at the last snow scene of kite castle. Seeing that Williams had no intention of signing, an old man in a marquis dress whispered, "Your Highness, viscount obera York is waiting for my reply.

With his hands on his back, Williams sighed, "Secretary Basten, if we meet the request of Archbishop Lazarus and vigorously promote the public carriage, will the Pope cancel the trip to the hills?"

This old man is the Marquis of bastern, the palace Minister of Gambis. He has worked for the Augustus family for 65 years and has always been known for his steadiness and wisdom. The old Marquis knows the worries of Archduke Williams.

The York family needs not only a large number of migrant workers, but also knights to develop the human horse hill. In the wind season next year, Pope Clement will personally go to brinor city to Crown Prince Edward. Before that, he has to go to the human horse hill to participate in the Legion competition of the York family. According to the Convention, the new king will hold the Legion competition when he ascends the throne, but York The family had to hold the Legion competition before the coronation ceremony. This meant that the Knights recruited by the Auguste family were all selected by the York family, and the Pope's presence added luster to the York family competition. The York family just oppressed the Gambis royal family.

Sylvia had good reasons to do so. The promotion of new farming and animal husbandry and moldboard plow made the Lords foresee an increase in grain income, so they sold their stocks of new grain one after another, and the grain price rose instead of falling. Instead of complaining, the York family reminded the Lords everywhere to sow less, fertilize frequently, and pay attention to protecting the fertility of the farmland.

The new farming and herding was originally the invention of the York family. Sylvia's magnificent practice is even more frustrating. All lords, including the Sassanian Empire, benefited from it and owe Sylvia a favor. The new farming and herding is of great significance to the people's livelihood, and the church must show the York family for this. Under the propaganda of the clergy, the nobles of the human kingdom, large and small, know the new farming and herding With the water conservancy project, hundreds of millions of mu of farmland will be reclaimed in the Renma hill. The competition of York family has become a great event of great attention. The second sons and women of those small families are all eager to go to Renma hill to participate in the competition and make a future for themselves. Prince Edward's accession ceremony is stained with the light of York family. Although Archduke Williams has some doubts about this Dissatisfaction, but there is nothing to complain about, but the York family hunted a rare alienated dragon lizard, and the situation is different.

The York family did a terrific job. Once they have alienated war beasts, the rise of the man horse hills will be unstoppable.

Duke Williams was worried about the future of the royal family and delayed to make a statement on the purchase list submitted by the York family. The palace minister Marquis Basten had to meet Williams personally and urge him to sign the purchase list as soon as possible.

The list lists more than 20 kinds of rare medicinal materials, all of which are related to alienated war animals, which shows that the York family has mastered the method of cultivating war animals. If the augustian family completely monopolizes these medicinal materials, the Marquis of Basten must try every means to block the purchase plan of the York family, but both the kingdom of SUS and the kingdom of Neville have corresponding medicinal materials reserves. The SUSE royal family dreamed of obtaining the flesh and blood of alienated creatures, and the Neville Kingdom also relied on master Edwin to help them design mountain reservoirs. Therefore, the two royal families never mind making a deal with the York family.

This list is actually a test of the York family for the royal family.

At a time when the political situation in Gambis is changing from the old to the new, the Marquis of Basten does not want the domestic balance to be broken. Compared with Sylvia's generosity in new farming and animal husbandry technology, if kite castle is too stingy in this matter, it will reveal a weak signal to local lords.

"Your Highness, our grain harvest this year has increased by 40% over previous years, and the annuities paid by local lords have also increased. Next year's grain output will decline, but the input of seeds will be more than doubled. This is due to the moldboard plow and new farming and animal husbandry invented by the York family."

Williams was not surprised that the Marquis of bastern did not answer the question positively. The old Marquis was modest and disciplined, and always insisted on his ideas in a euphemistic way. Williams smiled helplessly, returned to his seat and picked up the purchase list. Lord Gong Xiang continued: "We have built more than 100 stream reservoirs in northern counties, increasing cultivated land by more than 400000 mu. Next year, we will build another 200 stream reservoirs... Marquis Ludwig is ambitious and wants to build an artificial canal connecting brinor River and Quinn river. The proposal of the Secretary of the interior has been put on my desk. Once the canal is completed, 6 million mu of farmland can be irrigated."

"Thanks to the York family's invention of water conservancy." Williams was in a much better mood and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Leopold Qing won't be happy."

"The budget is really a little high..." Basten said first: "this artificial canal has a total length of 556km and is expected to cost 800000 kinsol. The chancellor of the exchequer expressed his reservations."

Williams frowned: "it is said that the York family built a canal of more than 1000 kilometers, which can irrigate hundreds of millions of mu of farmland. Why can our canal only irrigate 6 million mu of farmland?"

"That's different. The main canal built by the York family is only a part of the water conservancy project. They also need to build 500 water reservoirs, circular canals and hundreds of auxiliary canals, and finally form a water network all over the human horse hills. Moreover, their water is led from the Jinshui River, which is more abundant than the brinor river." Marquis Basten said with emotion: "Edwin has clearly put forward the concepts of topographic survey and engineering management. According to him, the main canal in Renma hill is only the first phase project, followed by the second and third phases. The whole water conservancy project will take 25 years to complete, and this process will not affect farmers' land cultivation."

"Of course, the five County Canal proposed by Marquis Ludwig, the home secretary, is also the first phase of the project. The water conservancy project he designed can irrigate a total of 20 million mu of cultivated land."

Williams asked, "how much does that cost?"

"Two million kingsol." Bastern replied.

"Two million? That's a headache figure... The York family needs at least five million gold sols. I'm surprised they have so much money?"

"The York family relies on the sale of green bricks to support the construction of water conservancy projects. This is definitely a genius idea." Basten shook his head and sighed. He told Williams the relationship between the giant brick kiln, the green brick Trade and the water conservancy project.

Williams was silent for a long time, his eyes flickered and said, "the owl is trying to get the design of the giant brick kiln."

People and horses sell green bricks to the outside, and the nobles in the royal capital once ridiculed the York family for being reduced to selling land. However, it didn't take long for the lords to build towns with green bricks, just as ladies and celebrities prefer high-heeled shoes. At present, the golden water city of the York family, the wild willow city of the Buryat family, the vistock of the Duke of Wellington, the copper city of the SoLIM family and NIM The Duke's aughibwa is repairing the outer city with green bricks.

How could the kings and nobles accept that brinor was inferior to these towns? However, the transportation cost was too high to purchase green bricks from the man horse hills and then transport them all the way back. Therefore, Williams instructed the night owl to spy on the design method of the giant brick kiln before the York family announced the artificial canal.

Scholars are proud of scholars. The palace minister Basten is not optimistic about the plan. He said modestly: "the design drawings exist in the architect's mind. Even if those spies visit the internal structure of the giant brick kiln, they can't see or explain clearly."

"Your Highness, we will eventually get the design method of the giant brick kiln." Basten smiled and said, "the York family's strategy of raising canals with bricks is more worthy of our reference."

"It will take decades to cultivate alienated warbeasts and it will cost a lot. The purchase list submitted by the York family is worth 200000 gold sols, and I estimate they will continue to invest millions of gold sols. This money can relieve our financial pressure."

"I see what you mean." Williams took a deep breath: "the York family is determined to forge ahead, and we are not idle. They have water conservancy projects, and so do we. They have 100 million mu of cultivated land, and we have 150 million mu. They are cultivating alienated war animals. We have the fast dragon knight and the glory knight."

Basten bowed and said, "Your Highness, I always believe that tolerance for the strong will become stronger and stronger, and being with the weak will become weaker and weaker. The York family is chasing us. What we have to do is to stay ahead, not trip them back."

"When we trip the vassal, we will also trip."

Williams nodded, picked up his pen and signed his name on the purchase list. The Marquis of bastern took the letter and bowed away.

When Gong Xiang left the room, Archduke Williams smiled bitterly. What Basten said is just a kind of helpless self encouragement. Although the rise of the man horse hill has become a fact, the root cause of the change of the York family is very strange. Share plough, new farming and animal husbandry, giant brick kiln, water conservancy project, yeliucheng trade, alienated dragon lizard and York family are all linked and form their own system. Williams didn't believe it was a coincidence. He always felt that there was a very clever counselor working for the York family, and he was certainly not a white tower scholar.

"Is it him?" A handsome young man came to Williams' mind, and then he denied his guess.

"If Victor was that person, Sylvia would not let him go. Moreover, Victor was taught by Catherine himself, and his experience was very clear. It seems that the problem lies in the giant brick kiln." Williams muttered to himself, raised his hand and shook the bell on the table. A court attendant came in, and Williams ordered, "go and call varus."

Before long, the leader of the owl appeared in front of Williams.

"Your Highness, you summoned me?"

"Why did you arrive so soon?" Asked Williams.

Varus bowed and replied, "I happen to have something to report to you."

Williams said, "your business will be discussed later. How's the giant brick kiln in Renma hill?"

"Little progress has been made. The York family only uses familiar craftsmen to build brick kilns. They are very tight lipped. Our people need some time to penetrate."

"Arrange some more people to find out the real designers of the giant brick kiln."

"As you wish." Varus bowed, took a sheepskin letter from his pocket and handed it to him. "Your Majesty Catherine asked me to pass it to you."

After reading the letter, Williams asked with a gloomy face, "do you know the content?"

"This is a personal letter from Duke Peter of Borui kingdom. He claimed that a swindler posing as the Marquis of Sophia had been executed and asked if Sophia had suffered an accident. Peter also said that he would give us a batch of blood boiling potion and talk about further cooperation if we were interested." Williams dropped the letter on the table and sneered, "the Borui people want to use a potion formula to let us announce Sophia's death! They are so bold!"

Varus said strangely, "Your Majesty has asked the pharmacist to verify the effect of the blood boiling potion. Master Hyde said that this potion lasts longer than the rage potion, and the damage to the soldiers is negligible. It can effectively improve the soldiers' strength and agility, and the effect is more similar to the bloodthirsty of the fierce jackal. Master Hyde believes that the value of the blood boiling potion is immeasurable."

"Oh?" Williams calmed down, knocked on the table and asked, "why did the borriens deal with Sophia?"

Varus asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what's the name of the female liar?"

"Amy may." Williams thought for a moment and said: "I remember correctly, she is Sophia's confidant knight. When Sophia went deep into mount arate, Ai Mimei disguised herself as Sophia to go to the kingdom of bre and tried to deceive us. Unfortunately, the eye liner that had been planted by Sophia at night had long passed the news. If we did not take into account the inheritance of marquis, we have announced the death of Sophia."

Varus sighed, "Your Highness, Amy Mei is the eye liner."

"What!?"

"Two months ago, Amy Mei lost contact with us. I think the Borui people caught Amy Mei and wanted to torture Sophia's relationship with the barbarians. After Amy Mei's identity was exposed, the Borui people killed her."

"Since Sophia monopolized the purple cane wine, the trade share of Borui kingdom in Neville and the moon bear principality has continued to decline. In particular, Sophia accounts for 80% of the several medicinal materials produced in yarit mountain. These medicinal materials are the raw materials of scouring potion and energy potion. Borui Kingdom competes with the Kingdom of Sus for knights in the eastern alliance, and they are in urgent need of scouring potion and energy potion. Sophia's relationship with the barbarians touches the interests of the Borui Kingdom, so they have to deal with Sophia. "

"I see." Williams said thoughtfully, "Sophia secretly transferred 3 million gold sols to her saber toothed tiger business group. If she dies, the saber toothed tiger business group and the money will fall into our hands. The Borui people knew that we were in financial difficulties, so they dared to plan Sophia."

"Exchange boiling blood medicine for a big Knight toy. I'm afraid Andre is the mastermind!" Williams sneered.

Varus said, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty Catherine gave me prince Peter's handwritten letter. Don't you understand what she meant?" Williams raised his hand and said, "I have no reason to save Sophia. As for Sylvia, do you think she will help her rival?"

"I see. The fall of the Marquis Sophia is good for everyone." Said varus respectfully.

"You don't know!" Duke Williams closed his hands and shook the letter into powder: "I don't know... Sophia is still the Marquis of Gambis until we find out the designer of the giant brick kiln."

"Does this... Does it matter?"

"It may matter." Duke Williams said meaningfully: "if it really matters, it's worth 3 million kinsol for him."
