Great Nobleman

Morning Flower Castle, main building study.

Chris routinely reported to Brand on official business and told him about the latest intelligence obtained by Free Iris.

After glancing at the dazzling array of ship models next to her.

Chris asked:

"Louise and other young people from other families who are preparing to join the war have officially set off yesterday.

The Lord should have received the news, right?"

Brand responded:

"Several members of the library who went to deliver war supplies to Louise reported to me when they came back yesterday. I heard that they are going to a relatively marginal war zone."

Chris explained:

"Taking advantage of the Lord's going out to fight some time ago.

My Free Iris has also established some intelligence forces in the rear of the war zone, including the place where Louise and others are going.

I took over Let's prepare to let them try to expand there and see if they can bring us some benefits.

At that time, we may need to cooperate with Louise and others. I will report this to the Lord. "

Brand waved his hand and said:

"You can do it. Louise rented a portable air screen from us. If you need it, you can communicate with her directly."

Chris nodded and said:

"Then the next thing is the internal affairs of the territory.

The important city [Hua Xin City] located in the central part of the territory has been built for more than half of the time, and the Weapon Department's anti-cold magic circle is about to be completed. Workers.

After all, our population is not that large, so we can take our time with the follow-up affairs.

Next, we should focus on developing in the east and west of the territory. ”

Speaking of this, after a moment of hesitation, Brand said:

“At present, all the towns in the territory are basically located along the road from the north of Chenhua Port all the way south to [Mudong City], or not far away.

Their development relies heavily on the north-south transportation of various commodities.

Is it too early to develop in the east and west now? ”

When Brand hesitated, Chris explained :

"Lord, the blacksmith team we recruited has reached a preliminary scale, and has also received a forging order from the Yellow Rose Chamber of Commerce.

The metal resources they use as raw materials are not in large quantities, so they are temporarily purchased and transported from other places through caravans.

It doesn't matter if there is a shortage.

But in the long run, it's better for us to find a metal mine in the territory and dig and refine it ourselves.

During this period, I have sent people to purchase equipment for mineral refining.

Next, I plan to recruit a group of miners."

At this point, Chris stopped.

Brand also understood Chris's idea.

-Next, they can develop the east and west of the territory by digging metal mines and further developing the forging industry.

"I remember that there seem to be metal mines in the east and west of the territory. This time we can indeed develop them by the way."

While saying this, Brand got up and took out a roll of the mineral resource map of the Morning Flower Territory from a cabinet next to him.

After taking it and putting it on the table and unfolding it.

Brand swept his eyes and pointed to the eastern part of the territory of [Morning Dew Rose], an area with two small and one medium-sized metal deposits.

"What do you think of this place? This is a plain area.

Although there are not many metal deposits around, it is definitely enough for initial development, and the location is also suitable.

When the forging industry develops to a certain scale in the future, we can go to dig for other larger metal deposits."

Hearing this, after looking at the position where Brand pointed for a few times.

Chris's eyes unconsciously glanced at other places on this resource map.

As her eyes swept all the way, various mineral resource marks that were densely distributed like commodity containers came into view.

In the past, because of professional ethics, Chris had never asked about such sensitive things.

Brand, the lazy guy, had never taken the initiative to tell her.

So Chris only knew a rough idea of ​​the mineral resources of Morning Flower Territory before.

Now, seeing the entire Morning Flower Territory, there are all kinds of mineral deposits of large and small branches everywhere.

Chris could not help but have a strange illusion:

There was an endless wealth under her feet, but under the order of Brand, the black-hearted lord, she had to go far away, spend time and effort to develop various industries in his territory and seek hard-earned profits...

Thinking of this, Chris could not help but show a complaining look to Brand.

Seeing this, Brand quickly responded with a confused look: What's wrong?

Because she was a little unhappy, Chris said with a hint of meaning:

"There are so many mineral deposits in the Morning Flower Territory? It will definitely shock people if it is spread out, right?

Lord, is it okay for you to show it to me like this? I am from the Romien family!"

Hearing this, Brand, who gradually understood, smiled and said:

"This is simple.

I will go to Uncle Romien to propose marriage and ask him to marry you!

In this way, even in name, you will only be a member of my North Holland family in the future."

After saying this, Chris said dissatisfiedly:

"You wish, he can't control me!"

Brand said leisurely:

"You are wrong about this. The contract you won when you won the duel did not restrict the Romien family from marrying you to me.

So you have no say in this matter."

Seeing Brand looking smug.

Chris was annoyed for a moment, and finally said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, let's talk business."

After returning her eyes to the resource map in front of her.

Chris looked at the place Brand had pointed to and thought:

"It's not bad to start developing in this plain in the east of the territory.

Now, our blacksmith team is not very large, so we only need to build a town in the early stage, which will not take too much effort.

When our industry grows and develops, we can expand the town or choose other areas with more mineral deposits to build a city."

Brand nodded and said:

"I think so too.

By the way, do you still need the equipment made by the master blacksmith?

I have a little more here, and Ms. Fanhua can't hold it."

Hearing this, Chris crossed her arms and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Who is the master you are talking about? Is it the master named Brand that I know?"

Seeing that Chris, this smart guy, has seen through his disguise.

Brand coughed lightly, then spread his hands and said:

"This is very troublesome to explain. Sister Celine didn't let me tell anyone else. Now only she and Catherine know..."

After hesitating for a moment, Brand said again:

"Why don't you marry me earlier? It's only a matter of time. In this way, I can tell you many things directly.

I asked Ivy last time, and she said she would wait for you to come together."
