Then there is no more

Knowing of Old Jerry's existence, Bian Jingyu stopped Mr. Frye's letter to the two grand dukes, and personally participated in the reply to Old Jerry's letter.

Mr. Fry has a small box studded with precious stones, only the size of an adult's palm, and the box is engraved with intricate patterns.If you look carefully, you will know that these patterns are actually the patterns of the magic circle.There was a pair of this little box, one with Mr. Fry and the other with Jerry the butler.After the magic circle on the small box is activated, some small things can be delivered.They exchanged letters through this small box.

However, such object transmission requires the consumption of magic crystals.And magic crystals are expensive.

As a well-known scholar, Mr. Fry's works will always attract nobles, and his books have been selling well.But even so, if Mr. Fry passes the manuscript in a small box, the gold coins spent on the transmission are far less than the income he gets from the publisher when he sells the book.

It can be seen that the magic circle and alchemy derived from magic really facilitate life, but it only facilitates the life of the rich.

In the distant capital of the Principality of Enkat and the ancestral home of the Frye family, the faithful Jerry took out the letter from the box with a pious heart.When he finished reading the letter, he froze.Although the words and sentences of this letter are in the style of Mr. Frye, there are clearly traces of the participation of a second person.

See what Mr. Fry said: "My little bird, the angel of the forest, I send you my sincere regards."

Of course Jerry knew that the little bird in Mr. Fry's mouth was the young master of the family, a beautiful and clever child who often appeared in Mr. Fry's letters.Thinking of the chubby little young master greeting himself solemnly, Jerry's heart instantly turned into a puddle of water.

Jerry takes great comfort in knowing that Mr. Fry is happy in the cloud forest.

Mr. Frye is a poor man, too, you know.Before he was full moon, his mother, a noble princess married from Tirisfal, died of puerperal fever.Shortly thereafter, his father died in a duel.Jerry still feels that the duel was a conspiracy!

Even though Mr. Frye still has two uncles who are his own relatives, the marriage between the nobles was originally for profit. The loyal old Jerry gritted his teeth and gave nearly half of the Frye family's property on the surface. The two uncles of Mr. Frye Only then let go to protect him.As Mr. Fry grew up, Old Jerry discovered that his lovely little master who was like an angel was a very simple person, and he was not good at intrigue among nobles.

The coming and going between nobles is a brutal war without gunpowder, and Mr. Fry has no talent for fighting at all!

Old Jerry gritted his teeth again. Between the glory of the Frye family and the safety of Mr. Frye, he chose the safety of Mr. Frye.On the one hand, he adjusted the industrial structure of the Frye family in a low-key manner, and sold off those industries that were eye-catching one by one, and on the other hand, he adjusted the training direction of the young master.With the help of old Jerry, Mr. Fry became an excellent scholar, and the troubadour spread his name throughout the continent.

Before Mr. Fry came of age, everyone knew that the Fry family was gone.The existing property was less than a tenth of what it was before, and Mr. Fry, the head of the house, was obsessed with learning and without ambition.The nobles of the upper class disdain to deal with him, and the nobles of the middle and lower classes dare not deal with him.

In this way, Mr. Fry grew up peacefully.

When Mr. Frye concluded a sacred marriage contract with an elf, although he gave up his inheritance rights in the two duchies, the status of the Frye family in the duchies rose.At this moment, no one dared to attack the Frye family. After all, they didn't want to offend the elves.

You must know that although the elves have a small population and hide from the world, they are born magicians, and there are several gods in the family.

Old Jerry has always been cautious. Even with the elves as a backer, he still hasn't turned his secret property to the bright side.Everyone knows that the Frye family is getting rich again, but they don't know how much property they have in private. They only know that the Frye family is now engaged in a unique elf business, selling sake and monsters brought from the cloud forest. Eggs and other exquisite elf artifacts, business is booming.

This business is in cooperation with the elves. The elves make a lot of money, and the Frye family makes a small profit.

Old Jerry recalled the difficult days before, couldn't help but took out a silk scarf folded into the shape of tulips from his pocket, wiped the corners of his red eyes, then looked down at the letter again, and saw that the fiefdom was mentioned in the letter As for the matter, old Jerry pondered for a moment, and then he had an idea in his mind.

Mr. Frye now has a fief, the area is neither big nor small, and the income is neither bad nor bad.If Mr. Frye replaces the two existing fiefs with no-man's land outside the cloud forest, at least from the eyes of the world, Mr. Frye must be at a disadvantage, because how much tax can a lord get from his fiefdom? , which is closely related to the population of the fief.So those in power are eager for Mr. Fry to take down No Man's Land.

"But it's not enough just to win..." Old Jerry said to himself.

A good butler, old Jerry was used to looking out for the greater good of his master.I don't know how he did it, but within half a year, he completed Bian Jingyu's commission, and the area of ​​the two territories officially issued was much larger than Bian Jingyu's imagination!In addition, the two grand dukes signed a tax exemption decree. In the next 100 years, neither of these two territories will have to pay tribute to the grand duke.

"Dad, Grandpa Jerry is a genius!" Bian Jingyu said with emotion while looking at the map.

The two territories are connected together, forming an irregular semicircle that encloses the west and south sides of the cloud forest.Although there are not many people in the territory, they have a large area!The two territories together cover 20 square kilometers, which is equivalent to two Zhejiang provinces!

If you count the cloud forest, the area is really amazing!

Bian Jingyu endured the excitement and returned a letter with the theme of praise to the empty nester Jerry. The old man was so happy that he couldn't even attend to the performance of his favorite troupe. The gift of the Fry family sent them to the cloud forest.

Bian Jingyu took the map and found the elders of the elves.

Considering that the population of the elves is too small, bureaucracy cannot be promoted at all, so the selection of elders in the elves is very simple. As long as an elf's strength reaches the level of the god of law, he will be automatically promoted to an elder.More than half of the elders went to retreat because of Zeno's tortoise.

"Build an elf city outside the cloud forest, and this city is still open to humans?" the elder asked.

Bian Jingyu nodded.He bluntly said that the current situation of the elves is not good.

The elves have a total population of less than [-]. They are enclosed in the cloud forest and protected by a huge magic circle. In any case, closing the country to the outside world is not a good choice.

Leaving aside other races, just compare humans and elves.

First, if you compare an elf with a human, an elf is indeed stronger than a human, but what if you compare an elf with 1 humans?How does it compare with [-] humans?The population of elves has been fluctuating between four and five thousand, but the speed of human reproduction is astonishing!

In the second life of Bian Jingyu's life, there was a Toba catastrophe theory on the origin of human beings.Although modern humans appear to be quite different on the surface, based on the average rate of genetic mutations, modern humans are all descended from a group of only 1 to 21 people in the era of the Toba catastrophe.According to this theory, the global population of 70 billion in the [-]st century is derived from the first few thousand people!

What an amazing ability to reproduce!Too many ants can kill an elephant.

Second, although in the eyes of elves, dragons, dwarves and other races, human beings are very weak and imperfect creations.However, humans have adaptability and creativity that no other race can match.Adaptability allows them to survive in any environment, and creativity allows their civilization to continuously advance to a higher level.Although the current level of technological civilization on the Chenxi Continent is very low, maybe humans will suddenly create an atomic bomb one day.At that time, even if everyone in the elves is a god of law, can they really resist human weapons?

Even if you don't mention technology, just talk about magic, human creativity is also revealed in magic.In terms of magic, the elves are still dominant.But what about a hundred years from now?What about after a thousand years?Can the creativity of five thousand elves compare to countless humans?Closed means falling behind!

Third, what about the glory of the elves?Is it true that the elves will continue to be closed like this until this continent forgets the legend of elves?

"The worst is just like this now, isn't it?" Bian Jingyu said.At worst, this is the case. The elves avoid other races and are enclosed in the cloud forest.But if communicating with the outside world can bring good changes to the elves, why don't they seize this chance?

Bian Jingyu left a map, and also left a seed in the hearts of the elders who didn't know what plant would grow until the end.

The elders who retreated were called out, and the group of elders had a lot of debates, and finally decided to let Bian Jingyu try.As Bian Jingyu said, this is the worst.Anyway, the city is built in Mr. Fry's territory. Although it is close to the cloud forest, it is not in the cloud forest. Even if the future development proves that Bian Jingyu's idea is not feasible, it only needs to increase the protection level of the cloud forest. .

After obtaining the consent of the elders, Bian Jingyu took out the city planning map that she had worked overtime.Not to mention anything else, just talking about the underground drainage system on the plan makes people at this time extremely amazed.The elves are rich, and so is the Fry family.Old Jerry issued a recruitment order in the name of the Frye family to recruit workers for the construction of the city.Of course, the recruitment order didn't say to build a city, it only said to build a lord's mansion.

It is true that the lord's mansion is built first, and then through a series of preferential tax policies and cheap land resources to attract civilians, and finally build a new city slowly.Increasing population and building cities must be done in parallel.According to Bian Jingyu's plan, the entire city will be built in the next ten years, and at the same time, the population in Mr. Fry's territory will increase to 10,000+ in ten years.After the first city is built, the second and third cities can start to be built. If this virtuous circle continues, Mr. Fry's territory will soon become truly prosperous.

It was a lot of work here, but fortunately old Jerry was a capable housekeeper and took on most of the work.

Gary Burel Walker was a talented master gardener, and at the height of his career his professional abilities were once praised by a duke.However, what matches Mr. Walker's talent is that he has a different way of thinking and a shockingly low EQ.

In a job two years ago, Mr. Walker accidentally said the wrong thing and offended a lady, which brought him to prison.

To be honest, Mr. Walker still doesn't know how he offended that lady!He was locked up for a week. Not only did he suffer in prison, but he also couldn't get a job after he got out of prison.Mr. Walker had to give up everything in his hometown and leave his hometown for other places.

Many people are not interested in the recruitment order of the Frye family. Who wants to go to the desolate place outside the cloud forest?But Mr. Walker had no choice. He embarked on the journey with trepidation, and after a lot of hardships—he encountered four times in robbery alone—he finally arrived at his destination.

"Don't worry, you specially learned the art of speaking from the troubadour, and paid a gold coin as a tuition fee for it. With the teaching of the troubadour who is good at sweet words, you will not offend people easily ’ said Mr Walker to himself.He is full of confidence.

Mr. Walker waited for the interview soon, and the servant who led him to the interview room said that Mr. Fry would interview him himself.

The door of the interview hall was open, and Mr. Walker saw from a distance a child wearing a cape and a hood sitting on the main seat. He might be five or six years old, or only three or four years old.Mr. Walker froze for a moment, lowered his voice and asked the servant, "Duke Tulip is of age, isn't he?"

"Of course!" said the servant.He thought Mr. Walker was asking a strange question.

The Duke of Tulip refers to Mr. Frye, which is his nickname. The Frye family uses the tulip as their emblem.

The servant walked up to Bian Jingyu and saluted Bian Jingyu.As a descendant of aristocrats and the son of Duke Tulip, Bian Jingyu is naturally a gentleman and can be called "Mr."So, there are now two Mr. Fry in their family, one is his father and the other is him.

Mr. Walker took two deep breaths.He walked up to Bian Jingyu, bowed his head first, and then looked at Bian Jingyu boldly, trying to recall the skills he had learned from the troubadour, and complimented him solemnly: "Dear Duke Tulip, you are really You have the skills to keep your face in place!"

--------

Why is Mr. Fry a child?

No, no, no family will let a child come out to take charge!

Mr. Frye must have been forced to become a child because of a mistake in magic and other reasons, so I can't poke the pain in his heart, I must ignore this abnormality, and I must treat him as a normal adult... Ah, I can Praise him for his good looks!I am simply a genius!
