Chapter 28 Great Development

The next day, Locke woke up feeling a little dizzy, but he was very happy. At this time, he slowly remembered what happened at the banquet yesterday.

Haha, that's great, I finally got this Monroe man under his wing, and the price was just some cheap stones, for St.As far as the Violet family is concerned, some worthless stones can win over a Monroe tribe, which is definitely worth it.

What's more, this lord of the Monroe tribe is quite powerful in the local area, and he will definitely be a powerful assistant for him to control the Maple Leaf Province in the future.

Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but be very happy. As for the knight title he promised yesterday, he didn't have any worries at all. Although the promotion of the title needs to be reported to the Empire Council of Elders, he believes that before he will be informed that Yifei is a member of the Monroe clan After passing it back to the imperial capital, the family will definitely go all out to get this title for it.

You must know the status of the Monroe people in the hearts of everyone on the mainland, and Yifei, the lord of the Wild Wolf family, decided to make the Wild Wolf family and the Saint Violet family allies, which means that the family will be in the middle of Yifei with the Monroe family. The surnamed family becomes an ally, which will greatly enhance the family's reputation among the mainland countries, and will play a decisive role in the family's future recruitment of talents.

"My lord, you are awake. Your lord has been waiting for you in the dining room for a long time!" At this moment, a maid opened the door and walked in, saying respectfully.

"Well, please tell Lord Yifei that I'll be here soon!" Hearing what the maid said, Locke said with a smile.

Then he got up from the bed immediately, and after washing up, he strode to the dining room under the guidance of the maid.

"Good morning, Earl Locke, did you sleep well yesterday?"

"Haha, good morning, Knight Yifei, yesterday's fine wine was really delicious, I haven't been this drunk for a long time!"

"Hehehe, as long as you like it, my lord, I'll get someone to pack a few cars for you to take home later, and you'll drink it every day from now on!"

"Hahaha, then I'm not welcome!" Locke couldn't help laughing and said after hearing Yifei's words.

……

"Knight Yifei, don't worry, the stones requested by your wolf family will be delivered within half a month. As for the title, it will be later. You must also know that the promotion of the title needs to be approved by the elders, but don't worry. , with the help of our Saint Violet family, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Hehehe, then I would like to thank the Earl. My lord, cheers, for the sacred alliance between our two clans!" Hearing Locke's words, Yifei raised the cup in his hand and said loudly.

"cheers!"

After another grand banquet, Locke led the Thorn Knights away contentedly. A misunderstood alliance began to have unknown effects on the entire continent with the passage of time.

But at this time, as the protagonist in the misunderstanding, Yifei was lying on the gold coins in the treasury's vault, showing a happy smile.

After tasting free food and drinks three times a day, the knights of the Thorn Knights became the largest consumers in the territory. Before they left, they exchanged almost all the gold coins on their bodies for soft butter bread and sweet and delicious The good wine made Yifei's small treasury more than 5 gold coins.

Moreover, orders of hundreds of thousands of gold coins were left, large and small orders let Yifei no longer have to worry about the problem of lack of money, because he believed that with the passage of time, under the propaganda of those knights, the entire The nobles of the empire will become his customers.

At this time, his only hope is how to improve his title and strength, otherwise, under the limitation of the number of buildings, the territory has no way to increase the production of bread and beer.

Because after various tests, he found that even if he could consume more resources and expand the building, when the expansion reached a certain level, the consumed resources were no longer what he was willing to bear.

Just like a wheat farm, it takes 160 lumber to build a wheat farm, and if it is doubled in size, it only needs to consume [-] more lumber.

But after expanding to 10 times, he needs to consume 8000 wood, a full hundred times the resource consumption.

Regarding the irregular resource consumption of the system, he can only say one word, pit!

Time passed day by day, and with the support of limited wood and gold coins, he re-planned the territory, demolished some buildings, and built some new buildings to make the whole castle more orderly.

And the number of 100 building units was re-built in his own ideas, because of the limitation of the number of soldiers and the existence of mercenary camps, he only kept one of each military building to build various weapons.

All the rest were turned into agricultural buildings and industrial and commercial buildings, full of soft bread and delicious beer.

But at the same time, he did not forget to continue to strengthen the defense of the castle. In just a few days, with the support of sufficient gold coins, the defense of the castle rose to a higher level again. 360 degrees without dead angle.

As long as it is within the range, even an ant, as long as he does not agree, he will never get half a step closer to the castle.

Looking at the current state of the castle, Yifei has the courage to face any enemy who dares to spy on his territory.

No. 16 days after Locke left, the rocks that Locke promised were finally delivered. The rolling convoy and thousands of units of stones made him crazy. The old man who led the team told him that this was only the first batch of stones. In a few days, there will be several convoys sending over the remaining stones, and at the same time paying tribute to the noble wolf family on behalf of the Violet family!
Regarding the sincerity of the Violet family, Yifei asked him to tell the Violet family. As the patriarch of the Yi family, he paid sincere respect to the noble Violet family and sent 50 top-quality war horses to express his gratitude to the Violet family!
Of course, in this world, only Yifei knows whether the Yi family exists or not, and the fifty-rank war horse is even cheaper, and the cost is only a few hundred gold coins.

Because he found that after building a stable, he could buy war horses from the stable with gold coins, and a war horse cost only 10 gold coins. The only regret was that he could only buy 10 war horses a day.

But every war horse is very strong, and the color is all white, so that people can tell that it is a good horse at the first sight.

So with a very friendly attitude, Yifei solved the dilemma of lack of stone materials in the territory, and at the same time conveyed another image!

That is generous!This time it was more confirmed that he was a member of the Monroe family.

You must know that in this world, the minimum price of a war horse is around 1000 gold coins. If it is a beautiful and strong top-quality war horse, then there is no market for it.

But stones are extremely cheap. In this world, there are very few who specialize in selling stones, because basically every powerful family has several hills under its name. When recruiting people from the territory to collect stones, there is no need at all. pay any cost.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of units of stones donated by the Violet family during this period are at best the people recruited to collect the stones. After the news of the forced excellent war horse was sent back to the Violet family, people immediately believed that he was from the Monroe family.

Regarding this point, Yifei, who doesn't know the market, is not clear at all. At this time, he saw tens of thousands of units of stone placed in the warehouse, and an ambitious idea popped up in his heart, that is, to build a magnificent city. Just like the world I was in before, build a huge city that can be completely self-sufficient.

Thinking of this, he began to try to build a city on the system map, but when he simulated building a city on the system map, he realized that his territory was too small. Even if the entire territory was surrounded, it would only be a few miles away. And so, at best, it is a larger comprehensive community.

Seeing this scene, he was immediately a little depressed. It seems that the most important thing at present is how to increase the honor value, use the honor value to buy the surrounding land, and expand the size of the territory.

Either increase the title, he believes that the promotion of the title will definitely expand the scope of the territory.

So he looked forward to the promise of the Violet family - the baron.

At this time, under the deliberate propaganda of the Violet family, the news that the Monroe tribe reappeared on the mainland and formed an alliance with the Saint Violet family also spread throughout the Thorn Empire, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire empire.

At the same time, Yifei, who was troubled by the lack of honor points, finally became a little lazy again after receiving the ransom from the Rhine family.

Since it’s fine, let’s be a noble in peace!
