Great Nobleman

On the morning of the noble meeting, the study room in the main building of Chenhua Castle.

While coming over to help Brand with advice, Chris also took the opportunity to report to Brand on the recent earnings of Morning Flower:

“The trade visit of the Elf Forest Maritime Merchant Group is coming to an end.

Compared with the previous two times, because we are more fully prepared, it provides a more complete environment for trade between both parties.

In addition, the beautiful scenery of Flower Bay also attracts more elves to visit.

So our profit this time is greater than the previous two times.

In addition, more than two hundred elves have now completed their inspection period and have officially become registered citizens of our Morning Flower Territory.

Most of them have now rented houses and shops in cities and towns in the territory and started various industries.

Several elven taverns have recently been opened in Chenhua Port. Their fruit wine is very good, and there are elven bards singing and playing piano there all day long.

Lord, would you like to go take a look with me when you have free time?

Just relax and unwind. "

After hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Chris who was smiling.

Brand put down the information in his hand and said with some helplessness:

"Chris, can you please stop tempting me to go out for fun? I finally made up my mind to practice hard!"

Chris smiled and said:

“Then wouldn’t it be great, Lord, to become a magister as soon as possible?

If we became a magister tomorrow, wouldn't we be able to go out and play the day after tomorrow?

Everyone is happy! "

Brand was speechless and said:

"How can it be so fast? Judging from the current speed, it will take at least half a year before I can step on the threshold of promotion.

Only then can I start working on my promotion, and I’m not sure how long the promotion process will take! "

Hearing this, Chris shrugged regretfully and said:

"This is really regrettable, it seems that I can only ask Ivy and Hedilyn to go out in the near future.

But don’t be discouraged, my lord. When you become a magister, just raise your finger at me and I will immediately dress up and come to accompany your lord! "

Looking at Chris who gave him a provocative look in front of him, Brand frowned unhappily, then shook his head and said:

"Okay, the meeting of nobles is about to begin, let's get down to business now.

Yesterday, several senior officials contacted me. They wanted to get involved in the maintenance and development of sea lanes.

And then you want to cooperate with us to build a maritime fleet. What do you think about this? "

After thinking briefly, Chrissy said:

"It depends on whether the lord wants to get involved with the uncles."

Brand responded:

“Our port trade alone has already made so much profit, and the planting and forging industries are also gradually developing.

Although there are many uncertainties in this matter, the prospects are promising.

We also have the confidence to invest and participate.

In the short term, my initial idea is to provide magic gold coins and material support to several allied families to occupy a small share.

After all, we at Chenhualing are at a time of development and are relatively short of manpower, so we should not be distracted by doing too many things. "

Chrissy nodded and said:

"If that's the case, the lord might as well just agree to it directly.

Chenhualing's shipyard has cooperated with them before, and this cooperation will not be impossible to continue in the future.

It's nothing more than that we need to focus on thinking and reaching agreement with other families on the long-term distribution of benefits.

In addition, I think the lord is worried that this matter will interfere with the independence of our territorial maritime military.

Regarding this point, we can actually build an independent, large-scale military port that is different from the Chenhua Port dock.

Dedicated to the formation and maintenance of territorial navies.

That way, the things you're worried about don't exist. "

After hearing what Chris said, Brand's original concerns completely dissipated.

But then, he said a little helplessly:

"Of course it is not impossible to build a military port, but even if it is completed, we currently do not have enough talents to maintain the operation of the military port.

Can't we just build a pier for ships to dock?

No matter what, several shipyards dedicated to the production of warships must be built. In addition, many warriors who can operate warships and are familiar with the ocean, as well as many logistics personnel, are needed.

But now, we need to cooperate with other families to produce some general ships for civilian use, and there is no professional navy.

Although this idea is good, it may be difficult to realize in the short term! "

Having said this, Brand further thought:

"The warship can also be purchased directly. The Imperial Weapons Department still owes me a top-notch warship.

But if you think about it carefully, the development of territorial military is really slow.

The development of the Knights and Mages is already on the right track.

But you can’t just dispatch high-level military weapons whenever something happens, right? This is obviously overkill.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that we still need to form one or several regular legions.

Not only the fleet at sea, but also the army on land are also needed.

The territory is located on the border and adjacent to the Endless Sea. Compared with other families, we obviously have higher military needs! "

After hearing Brand's thoughts, Chris spread her hands and said:

“As the chief executive, I have no authority to get involved in the military affairs of the territory.

But if the Lord wants to hear some of my advice...

In my opinion, recruiting soldiers is not a difficult task.

Pull out the qualified city guards for training for a period of time, and they can barely be considered qualified legion soldiers.

And the reserve of the guards can obviously become the bottom officers of the legion directly by virtue of their strength.

With these two combined, it is naturally no problem to deal with small matters in the territory that do not require the deployment of high-level military forces.

But if a major event occurs, it will require tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight together.

We need military talents who can lead the army to fight, have rich military literacy, command experience, or command talent.

This kind of talent is not easy to recruit, and most of them are carefully cultivated by aristocratic families from childhood to adulthood.

While developing the territory economy, we really need to make plans for this matter early. "

After hearing what Chris said, Brand nodded in agreement.

After some thought, he was going to ask Hisali to pay attention to it and try to select a group of guards with command experience, and then let them go to the Mesa family for further study.

Of course, there is no rush to form a large army.

The current total population of the Morning Flower Territory has just exceeded 100,000.

With this population base, there is no way to form a regular army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!

After skipping this question, Brand asked:

"By the way, the war between our human alliance and the orc empire has escalated.

What is your friend from the [Silver Hammer Alliance] doing recently?

Since the fall of the Kingdom of Mosal, I don't think I have heard of her again.

Didn't she say that we need to help her and build momentum for the [Silver Hammer Alliance] in the Human Alliance? Why did it just go silent? "

Chris responded with a smile:

"The [Silver Hammer Alliance] is of course still active on the battlefield.

They just don't attract as much attention as the Kingdom of Mosal.

As for Irina.

After a trip to the Kingdom of Mosal, even you, the Lord, felt that you were not strong enough. How could she, who was almost killed by the Titan Orcs, not have the same idea? "

Hearing this, Brand suddenly realized:

"I remember that Irina is a high-level mage, right? So she has also been trying to be promoted to a mage recently?"

Chris nodded, and then added:

"In addition, she is also asking people to collect various materials required by the Lord.

At present, she has a clue about several rare materials that the Lord asked Free Iris to purchase for a long time.

After a while, I think there should be definite news. "

Hearing this, the corners of Brand's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.

-In this case, wouldn't the materials for making [Sword of Heaven] be collected soon?
