The night was dark.

After a bustling day, Wushan Fort finally quieted down, along with Luo Ning's wedding room.

Blanche had fallen asleep in Ronin's arms.

Although she was a high-level magician and a supernatural being, magicians' physical fitness was not very strong. Moreover, after a busy day, she was too tired to open her eyes.

Luo Ning felt the smoothness against his body and looked at the exposed shoulders. The passionate scene just now emerged in his mind and he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

He kissed the other person gently on the forehead, then gently stood up and walked to the window.

The starry sky outside is so bright that it seems within reach.

Luo Ning took a deep breath, feeling the coolness of the night and the faint floral scent in the air, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

"Now I have completely established myself in the other world."

Although his strength is only at level nine, it is at least impeccable in the Orlant continent.

In addition to his strength, he is not only the marquis of the kingdom and the king's son-in-law, but also has allies supporting him.

Needless to say, the nobles of Wushan Territory were all staunch supporters of Lu Lansi. Now that Lu Lansi fully supported Luo Ning, they were no exception.

Although the minor nobles surrounding Moonlight Valley have good relations with nobles like Ferens, sitting on the fence is always their characteristic.

As long as nothing major happens to Roning, they will not easily fall out with him. After all, who would go against money and resources?

Among the top nobles, Ronin also has supporters and collaborators.

First of all, the kingdom's most powerful magician, Bellora, has agreed to cooperate with Wu Beiling. In a subsequent conversation with Sophia, the other party even revealed his intention to go to the Crescent Continent and the City of Dawn.

Secondly, thanks to Elrond's visit, the Principality of Gistana has reached an agreement with the Ubei Territory on a joint project to grow flame grass.

Moreover, under Elrond's suggestion, Duke Vargis has agreed to entrust his frail grandson Ganor to Elrond's personal care, and arranged for several knights to go to Wubei Territory to take care of him.

This operation is meant to reveal to the outside world the intimacy of the relationship between the two parties.

With these factors combined, it is estimated that the Principality of Ferrens, the Principality of Vera and the Howling Island will no longer act as recklessly as before.

Now that the situation has stabilized, Roning can devote himself to development.

In the early days, he focused on porcelain and silk. Now these two things have appeared on many occasions and have won the favor of the nobles. He can completely leave the subsequent promotion and sales to the commercial officials in the territory.

At this stage, compared with these commercial things, Ronin is more concerned about the use of steam engines.

This was the foundation of the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the industrialization of the territory.

In addition to steam ships, steam locomotives, and transport railways that have already been determined to be built, the use of steam power in textiles, mining, metal smelting, etc. also needs to be explored.

It's not that Ronin has to do everything himself. After all, the idea is there and the first steam engine has appeared. Simon, Sophia and even the magicians and scholars from Crystal City can all put forward suggestions for improvements based on this.

Most of the lower-class civilians are illiterate, but the upper-class elites are smart.

However, the only problem is that currently only Ronin, Sophia and Carlos can make the core components of the steam engine, and Simon or other craftsmen are unable to perform precise processing.

We have to wait until the craftsmen’s technical level and manufacturing equipment improve before we can free Roning and others.

In addition to development, preparation for war should also be put on the agenda.

For Ronin, sending troops to the Kingdom of Tricia was not only to upgrade his title to gain attribute points and lay the foundation for building a kingdom in the future, but also to eliminate the alien races that had already taken root in the enemy country.

In order to deal with the latter threat, Ronin has had detailed discussions with Redal and Sophia, and decided to let Knight Harmon, who is good at hiding his whereabouts and collecting intelligence, leave Moonlight Valley and go to the Molten Duchy to investigate the specific situation. At the same time, he will establish an intelligence network for the Wubei Territory in the Kingdom of Tricia.

In this way, if anything really happens, Roning and others will not be completely in the dark and will have to rely entirely on the royal family to provide information.

Lu Lans had already suffered from false information once, and Luo Ning didn't want to suffer from it a second time.

"Luo Ning, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you thinking about?"

Blanche's gentle call brought Roning's attention back from his thoughts.

He turned around and saw the beauty on the bed propped herself up and sat up, exposing a large area of ​​snow-white skin that was particularly attractive.

"I'm wondering when we can have a child."

Then he walked over and said, "How about we do some more farming?"

Blanche lowered her head shyly, pulling the sheets and said, "I...I'm in a bit of pain, I can't do it any more, how about tomorrow, tomorrow?"

"Hahaha~"

Luo Ning returned to the bed and hugged the man to lie down. "I was just teasing you. There is a long time to come. Let's wait until you recover first."

The two slept in each other's arms.

After breakfast the next morning, Diane took Blanche and the butler to count the gifts sent by the nobles.

Roning always left this kind of work to the territory officials, and he only cared about the final result.

But now that there is a mistress in the territory, it is only natural for her to ask about financial matters.

Moreover, Blanche was born into a royal family as a princess and received an education that was many times higher than that of the outside world. Her abilities in all aspects were definitely not inferior to those of Wilson, Chahar and other people who only started learning by themselves.

She was willing to take care of these things, and Luo Ning felt relieved and happy.

And Roning, accompanied by Lulans, convened a territory meeting at Wushanbao Fortress.

Speaking of which, last night's banquet was not only to celebrate the marriage of Roning and Blanche, but also to provide a platform for many nobles in Wushan Territory to communicate with Roning.

All they wanted was to cooperate with Roning.

After all, Moonlight Valley is so big, with so much idle land and houses. Roning can open his arms to cooperate with other nobles, and he will not exclude the nobles of all sizes in Wushan Territory.

Luo Ning naturally agreed to this.

For him, no matter who he cooperates with, it’s not cooperation.

Anyway, what he ultimately needs is more food and more labor. As long as the people arranged by the nobles can obey his command and transfer, there will be a basis for cooperation.

But after some negotiations, Roning felt more and more that the social situation in which the nobles controlled all affairs and even the population of their respective territories somewhat restricted his development.

Just imagine, how great it would be if the population of all towns in Wushan Territory could be moved around at will?

After all, it was the model of aristocratic fiefdom that restricted operations.

So Luo Ning thought about it and decided that if there were to be fiefdoms in the future, some powers would still not be delegated.

It would be best to adopt the fiefdom system, giving nobles or meritorious officials a certain amount of land so that they can enjoy the income from the land but not have the political rule and management rights over the area.

However, reform is not something that can be achieved overnight. For now, Roning can only follow the existing social framework and gradually promote these deep-seated changes when his strength is more solid in the future or when he establishes a country.

Anyway, he had plenty of time. After all, the Knight of the Prideful Sun theoretically had a lifespan of two centuries, so he was not in a rush.
