Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

The addition of a few free families to the territory not only increased its vitality but also stirred up some small, restless thoughts in Su Li's mind.

The Electorate of Suland, located in the eastern part of the Empire, is known for its fondness for extravagant clothing and vanity. Their main exports include: cattle, fashionable clothing, fine porcelain, horses, leather goods, wine, and beautiful women!

The beauty of Suland women is renowned throughout the mortal world. They all have fair skin, amethyst-like eyes, and signature flowing white hair.

Among these new free families was a graceful seventeen-year-old girl named Phyllis. She was tall, standing at 1.7 meters, and her plump, slender legs shone with a fair and rounded glow even without stockings. Her delicate waist was incredibly slender. Every time she met Su Li's fiery gaze, she would shyly lower her head, making the fullness of her snowy bosom even more apparent.

This made Su Li couldn't help but wonder, who said that ancient beauties were all country girls?

Moreover, even if they were country girls, even without the embellishments of cosmetics, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, they would still be tender and fresh.

Which high school or university doesn't have class beauties or campus belles? They are truly naturally beautiful, without any carving or modification.

As long as the population base is large enough, one in a hundred, one in ten thousand, you can always find a beauty. Phyllis is one of those. Her beauty is like a flower that has just bloomed in spring, fresh, refined, and full of vitality.

So, although Su Li knew that the gap between them was too large and that choosing her as a female courtier would be inappropriate, he still couldn't help but come to see this gentle, shy girl.

For a noble lord to abandon so many knights and choose a farmer's daughter would inevitably be ridiculed.

This made Su Li quite concerned. If he could take the easy mode, he certainly didn't want to start the difficult mode. Just like he could lie down and enjoy life and beauties, he didn't have much desire to kill until blood flowed like a river to seize the throne. Unless… there was a shortcut to deliver the throne to him. It would be a bit fake to say that he wouldn't take it even if someone gave him the throne. Which man hasn't fantasized about ruling the world?

However, Hilde was more encouraging, telling him to go get her if he liked her. She believed that even among the beauties of Suland, not everyone could have flowing silver-white hair, right? It was very likely that she, like herself, had some special bloodline in her paternal or maternal ancestors. This was a white-haired beauty, which man could refuse?

If he was concerned about her low status, he could first take her as a maid, or transform her into a nun of the Dawn Church.

Su Li had suggested this plan to the other party, but for some reason, she refused the opportunity for Phyllis to go to the castle as a maid, a path that ordinary people dreamed of.

This seemed very strange. For a daughter from a commoner family, if she could enter the castle as a maid, it would mean greatly reducing the burden on her family, and she could even bring some leftover food and fruit from the castle home to subsidize her younger siblings.

Apart from the fact that this girl might be pinned down a few times by the castle owner, there were almost no shortcomings.

But this shortcoming was actually nothing to the women of this world, and it would not be known or discriminated against by others. Because everything within the territory was the wealth of the lord, and the imperial nobles enjoyed the right of the first night. In theory, all girls would be favored by the lord and lose their virginity.

If a girl lost her virginity before the lord entered her body, it was a serious crime equivalent to stealing the noble's property, and she and her lover would be directly hanged by the court.

Although Lord Su Li was benevolent, he had indeed not announced the abolition of the right of the first night since entering the frontier territory. (Mainly because before, they were all his serfs and had no right to marry at all)

So, in theory, all commoner girls below the rank of squire are currently guarding their virginity for Lord Su Li.

Therefore, Su Li was not in a hurry recently. Anyway, he was not particularly short of women. Hilde and Avril by his side could satisfy him, and they were knights, with much higher endurance than Phyllis.

One of the important reasons why Su Li was hesitant to choose Phyllis as a courtier was his concern that she might not be physically strong enough. A fragile vase that would faint after serving him once or twice a night.

This was also a happy trouble after becoming a lord. Choosing a suitable female courtier just to satisfy his own needs for pleasure and enjoyment, according to the hierarchy of needs, he was at least on the third level. This was a beautiful thing that he couldn't have imagined when he was a workaholic in his previous life.

Of course, Su Li was considering more than just this matter during this period. After becoming a lord, he paid attention to more interesting things.

In addition to women who satisfied his pleasure and sense of conquest, there was also the power he was managing and developing.

He had been lying flat during this period, so the daily intelligence system was updated every day, helping him develop the territory very well.

The daily intelligence revealed the addresses of nearby amethyst grapes three times, with the most being 26 grapevines around. Fandar led people to transplant all these grapevines back and plant them under the green hills to the north.

In order to take care of these 60 precious amethyst grapevines in total, Su Li specially transferred three ogre workers and twenty-four slaves to start building the Amethyst Manor under the Green Leaf Hills.

Once this manor was built, Su Li would move out of the castle and mainly live in the manor.

Great nobles don't stay in castles all day long. The environment of castles is not very suitable for living and enjoying. (Unless the scale is very large and the style is very luxurious)

In addition, the territory's pasture has finally taken shape. The current pasture is in the northeast of the farmland area, a fertile pasture covering an area of more than 30,000 mu. The shepherd tribe grazes while harvesting pasture, piling up nearly a thousand bundles of pasture in the farm. Currently, the stables and feed rooms are simple wooden structures, which will be converted into stone and brick buildings when conditions permit in the future.

Although the pasture facilities are simple, the number of livestock inside is very large. Knight Friedrich, leading three teams of shock knights, finally encountered that herd of wildebeest again in the green hills to the north. This time, they made sufficient preparations and captured more than 30 wildebeest at once. The herd's king led the remaining wildebeest to escape desperately, and finally escaped, but the remaining number was only forty or so. And this was still because Knight Friedrich showed mercy, he didn't want to hurt the remaining wildebeest, which would all be the territory's wealth in the future!

In addition to the wildebeest herd, the shepherds, under Su Li's guidance, also found a herd of goats in the mountains, totaling more than 80.

This shepherd, as a new type of unit, performed even more amazingly than Su Li expected. They have a certain detection ability, can throw stones with slings at long range, and carry a shepherd's long axe, which is popular in the eastern provinces of the Empire, at close range, with a small and light axe head and a long handle. For thousands of years, the mountain people of the Black Mountains of the Empire and the Mountains at the Edge of the World have carried this long axe as a walking stick for climbing mountains, and used it as a weapon when encountering beastmen and thieves.

If they encounter small groups of wandering lesser horned beasts, they can hunt and kill a few lesser horned beasts themselves. If they encounter large teams of thieves and beast hordes, they can also report in time.

This is a type of force similar to the Fubing system, hiding soldiers among the people, who can take care of production in addition to fighting. They take care of a total of 103 warhorses, 24 foals, 95 head of cattle, draft horses, and more than 600 sheep in the territory.

Summer is approaching, and they have been busy recently removing the hair from the sheep and goats. Lauren is also busy building warehouses. He plans to build a wool workshop in the territory to make wool blankets and cashmere coats for winter to keep warm.

This Lord Chancellor is truly talented, taking care of everything that Su Li has considered and not considered in every detail.

Su Li has personally participated in only two government affairs recently, one is guiding the territory's fishing and hunting, and the other is supervising the Bjorn Bay dam project.

In fact, the Bjorn Shoal dam project is divided into two parts that are carried out simultaneously. While building the dam on the high side of the eastern side of the shallow bay, drainage ditches are also being built below. When the water is drained and the land below is dried, it will become a fertile and soft land. In the summer, the serfs will plow here with heavy plows, and one ox can reclaim at least two or three mu of good land a day.

In the season between spring and summer, the sun is bright but not scorching, the breeze is blowing, the grass is swaying, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Su Li was sitting on the lawn on the west side of the shoal, watching the slaves working enthusiastically in the distance. They used iron shovels and iron rakes to put the silt in the ditches into bamboo baskets, and then the ogres, with their brute strength, lifted the wooden buckets and bamboo baskets filled with mud, weighing hundreds of pounds, and put them on the ox carts next to them. Thanks to the development of the territory's pasture, the territory has many ox carts and horse carts participating in various projects, transporting various materials.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

With the lord personally supervising, the digging progress of these slaves is very fast. From morning to now, about three hours, they have dug a two-hundred-meter-long main ditch, and four branch ditches have been repaired. About twenty mu of land will have the conditions to be converted into good farmland.

While Su Li was watching, Minister of Agriculture Fandar strode quickly from the distance.

The priest of the Dawn Goddess can now be said to be the most motivated person in the territory. This territory, full of vitality, perfectly conforms to the teachings of the Dawn Goddess in all aspects.

Everyone feels that this old druid is getting younger and younger, and his mental outlook is more energetic than most of the young people who work like cattle and horses.

He quickly walked to Su Li and said, "Lord, I have good news to notify you, the monastery of the Dawn Goddess has been completed today, would you like to participate in the opening ceremony of the monastery?"

Su Li quickly waved his hand and said, "Congratulations to your Dawn Church for taking an important step on the road of spreading. I am not a believer of the Dawn Goddess, so I won't go."

He didn't go not entirely because he was not interested in the teachings of the Dawn Goddess, but because he was worried that his attendance would arouse the indignation of the knights.

An imperial lord, it's fine if a monastery of the knights' gods of the empire is not built in the territory, but he also solemnly participates in the opening ceremony of a monastery of a distant god.

Is this frontier territory no longer a land of glory for the knights?

At that time, knights will ask to build monasteries and temples corresponding to the church one by one, and he will not have to do other things. And if he refuses the knights' proposals, it will seriously affect the morale of the army.

So, the completion of the Dawn Goddess monastery is better to be carried out in a low-key manner.

Fandar did not care, the Dawn Goddess is so generous, as long as you respect her appropriately, she will bring hope, but she will never reward greed. Therefore, the Dawn Church does not build magnificent temples, but there are indeed various monasteries scattered on this land.

For Fandar, as long as the monastery is built and can spread the teachings, it is enough. When the breeze blows through the wheat field, it is the most pleasant moment for the believers of the Dawn Church, because they believe that it is the goddess walking on the land.

Then Fandar took out a wooden box from the pocket tied outside his robe and said to Su Li: "In the monastery, I felt the goddess's approval and divine grace, so I had a flash of inspiration and successfully made three bottles of [Blood of the Earth] potion. This is a high-level potion that even the most powerful monks can't usually make."
