Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

The reality was just as Jennifer had predicted. As soon as Earl Stuart returned to his territory, dozens of fast horses left, one after another, late into the night.

Soren, upon receiving the news in the middle of the night, simply said, "Record all the nobles who are in contact with Earl Stuart." His voice was calm and indifferent. After speaking, he turned over and went back to sleep.

The envoy from the Imperial City arrived at Baron Paphon's territory in less than five days. After recording the events and evidence with a memory crystal, he handed Soren the document stripping him of his territory.

The entire process took less than an hour, efficient and swift.

The Imperial City envoy was from the Vera family. Although he was over forty years old, his seniority was low, being a grandson of Empress Maria. He was even more respectful towards Soren.

"Your Highness! His Majesty's intention is for you to temporarily manage this territory," the envoy said, bowing his head, his tone full of awe.

He couldn't stay here for a long time either, and he needed to leave a reliable person in charge.

Jennifer saw Soren's concerns and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I have a candidate to recommend."

Soren said, "Oh! Tell me about it."

Jennifer's cheeks flushed slightly, after all, the person she was going to recommend was her own older brother.

"Gonzalo Meyer! He just broke through to become a Seventh-Order Knight and has served as a city garrison officer, with extensive management experience."

Soren immediately laughed.

Starting last month, Jennifer's two older brothers and three cousins had successively sought refuge with her. Gonzalo was Jennifer's eldest brother, with a seventh-level elementary cultivation talent. When he first arrived, he was only at the peak of the sixth order, which showed that Jennifer had provided a lot of support to her older brother during this time.

Soren's impression of the Meyer family was very good. In the game, they were the only knight family that followed the Tyrant Soren to the end, fighting to the last man without surrendering. They were the backbone of the Tyrant Soren's army.

Soren restrained his smile, looked at Jennifer seriously, and said, "Since he is your older brother, then he must be outstanding in ability. Let's do as you say."

Jennifer immediately beamed with joy and nodded solemnly.

In the following three days, Soren restored production in the mines and also formulated new production processes, greatly reducing the working hours of the miners and mine slaves.

The working hours were reduced from fourteen hours a day to ten hours a day, and it was also guaranteed that the miners and mine slaves would be able to eat their fill.

After all, mining was physical labor, and not eating enough would affect work efficiency.

Soren then paid attention for two more days. Due to the backwardness of the tools, each miner could only mine an average of fifty pounds of ore per day.

In order to encourage the miners and mine slaves to work harder, Soren formulated a new rule, dividing the miners into hundred-man teams with a daily standard of five thousand pounds of ore. As long as they could complete the task on time, they would be rewarded with meat soup in the evening.

If they exceeded the work task, they would be rewarded with one copper coin per person for every two hundred pounds of ore. This was a reward set on the basis of the original salary, which averaged out to an increase of only two pounds of ore per person.

Once the new rules were implemented, the enthusiasm of the miners and mine slaves was significantly improved.

Hardworking teams could mine an extra thousand pounds a day, and the worst teams could only barely complete their daily tasks.

In the mines, busy figures could be seen everywhere, people sweating and striving for that reward.

The output of the mine quickly doubled. Soren also added a special clause: the team with the highest monthly output would be able to eat a piece of meat every day starting next month.

This made those teams willing to work even harder, as if they had inexhaustible energy, tirelessly digging ore.

Jennifer watched the events that took place in just one week, and the whole person was amazed. She had never thought that some small incentives could bring such huge changes.

Looking at the bustling mine, Jennifer's heart was filled with admiration for Soren's wisdom and methods.

Soren renamed Baron Paphon's territory Anshan City, and the former mountain town was designated as Mining Town.

At a plain at the foot of the mountain, Soren was preparing to build a steel workshop for initial processing, and then transport it to Furga City and the Imperial City.

This plain has open terrain, fertile soil, and good development potential.

When Gonzalo Meyer led his army to Mining Town, he happened to see the mage group opening the road.

That's right, it was opening the road.

Six hundred mages uniformly cast spells, blasting a road on the road from Mining Town to Anshan City.

When encountering unsolvable gullies, they directly used earth magic to fill and compact them, reinforcing them.

The original mountain road from the mountain town to the plain was developed into a wide avenue where four carriages could travel side by side, and the journey was only half of what it used to be.

It would not take half a day to transport the iron ore down from the mountain, and it would not even take a day to go to Earl Stuart's territory.

Because there were three villages in the plain, and there was some agricultural foundation, Soren sent all the surplus population of Mining Town to settle in Anshan City.

In this way, it not only alleviated the population pressure of Mining Town, but also injected new vitality into the development of Anshan City.

People lived and worked here in peace and contentment, working together for the prosperity of this emerging city.

"I'll leave the next task to you," Soren said, patting Gonzalo on the shoulder. His eyes were full of trust and expectation: "My only goal is for the output of the Anshan Mine to increase slowly. The magic towers in the northwest need a lot of steel, and the development of Anshan City cannot be neglected. If it can be developed well, I will divide the surrounding areas into Anshan City and establish an Anshan region specifically, with you as the regional director."

Gonzalo immediately performed a knight's salute. His figure was tall and straight, and his eyes were firm. "Your subordinate will definitely not let Your Highness down."

Soren nodded in satisfaction, leaving him with only a legion detachment, coupled with Gonzalo's strength as a seventh-order knight,

Earl Stuart would also have to consider carefully before attacking him.

As for why building magic towers required steel, the reason was very simple.

Just look at the number of magic towers in the empire today, and you will know that the construction of each magic tower is the top priority of the region, and even the entire province.

As an important place for mages to study and cast powerful magic, the sturdiness and stability of the magic tower are crucial.

Only by building magic towers dozens of stories high with steel can people understand the importance of steel in architecture.

As Soren was preparing to leave, a knight rushed into the camp quickly.

"Your Highness! A maze entrance has appeared in the southeast direction of Anshan City, and a large number of magical creatures are pouring out. The Royal Guard Knights have already gone to kill them, and Commander Andre Wan asked you to evacuate first."
