Start as Inherited Baroness

Simon chose a place for these preparatory mages to stay in the castle and let them practice on their own.

With the mage tool man, he can finally be the hands-off shopkeeper again.

Immediately went to visit Winnis, Kailin and other family members.

Now that they have almost recovered, their figures are plumper and more attractive, and it is estimated that they will be able to get pregnant again soon.

Simon's main thing is to let Winnis have more children. After all, she is the official wife, and the male born will be an official member of the family.

If a girl is used for marriage in the future, it will have more weight.

If you have another lover, you have to spend money to report it, which is a lot of trouble.

While visiting Winnieth, Simon also met Gurney, who was asking for advice about magic and seemed to want to become a mage.

But not everyone has qualifications, and Gurney has this talent.

"Brother, can I become a mage like you?" She held Winis' hand and said innocently.

"Maybe, I recently established a mage group. You can join it and be an apprentice first."

Simon pondered for a moment and smiled.

"Okay! Okay! I will definitely study hard..." Gurney said with some excitement.

"Okay, I will make arrangements for you." Seeing this, Simon nodded slightly.

"This little girl has learned magic, so she has some skills at home. There's no harm in it..." he thought in his heart.

Time flies, and days pass by in a flash.

Yaman led people to build the blacksmith fortress on the bank of Qingluo River, and now he has led people to start laying bricks on the city wall of Yongyi Town.

Simon went to inspect it personally. Although the fortress was not large, covering an area of ​​only more than 20 acres, it spanned the river and the city wall was no less than ten meters.

It cannot be conquered by ordinary force.

As for the candidates to be stationed here, Simon is a bit confused.

He thought about it for a while, and finally decided to confer heavy infantryman Manfroth as an honorary knight and lead 300 patrol soldiers to garrison here.

This person has fought many battles with Simon and has some insight. The most important thing is loyalty. Defending a castle does not require high tactical literacy.

As the territory developed, Simon gradually felt that there was not enough talent.

But he wasn't too panicked, because the heavy infantrymen in the Guards had the ability to become knights, they just needed to arm their minds.

In response to this problem, Simon asked Sarit to write down his military experience.

After he read it through, he polished it and added some of his own insights, and named it "Huolun's Book of War".

Before Simon traveled through time, he read Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies.

Although I am not familiar with it, even if I only remember half of it, the theory is still extremely advanced in this world.

Then he took the time to extract some content from it and made a castrated version, named "The Theory of Brave Military".

The former is a family heirloom and cannot be practiced by non-official members of the Horen family, while the latter is for honorary knights to broaden their horizons and improve their military abilities.

As for domestic affairs, Simon spent more than ten days writing a book by himself, called "Politics of Courage".

It includes some basic contents such as institutional setup, management methods, enforcement of laws, and quantity accounting.

It's not advanced, in his opinion it's just entry-level, but it's enough to train low-level managers in this world.

If you read this book thoroughly, you will definitely have no problem becoming a baron or viscount.

After the textbook was completed, Simon and his family members copied more than a dozen copies and began to train talents based on this.

In terms of military affairs, the guards, especially the high-level units such as heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, agreed to study theory at three o'clock in the afternoon every day.

In terms of government affairs, the focus was on cultivating Mad's dozens of assistants. They were all born as upper-class serfs and were literate before being captured as slaves.

In addition, more than a hundred bright young people were selected from slaves and free people, most of whom were refugees from West Gede.

The purchased slaves have basically lost their vigor and their plasticity is not high.

Then a lecture hall was opened in the theater in the castle, with Mader, Wall and Simon taking turns as lecturers to cultivate administrative talents.

This is a long-term process that cannot be accomplished overnight, but it is not enough if you do not do it, otherwise you will be blind when you need it urgently.

In addition, during this time, newly recruited soldiers also formed combat capabilities under Sarit's training and were incorporated into the army.

There were 2,500 new recruits, all of them spearmen.

But with an improvement, each person was given three short spears one and a half meters long, which were carried on their backs.

In the future, when the two armies faced each other, they would first throw three rounds of spears, and then fight hand to hand.

The number of troops increased so much at once that Simon reorganized the army.

Previously there were 1,500 people in the East Guards. All 500 newly recruited freedmen soldiers were incorporated into this team and the name was changed to the East Guards.

All 500 freedmen soldiers from the security corps were transferred to the Eastern Guard Army, so that the army had a total of 2,500 people.

The patrol had previously numbered 1,400 people, of which 1,000 were free soldiers and 400 were slave soldiers.

Simon transferred a thousand newly trained slave soldiers into this team and renamed it the Patrol Army, with a total of 2,400 people.

Finally, there was a security team, which was renamed the security army with the remaining one thousand slave soldiers.

Previously, Airei took 500 people to follow Kelile to Baiou Port to buy slaves, so now the Eastern Guards are not full, with only 2,000 people.

All in all, Simon now has more than 6,000 soldiers, which is not a force that can be ignored.

Many viscounts in the interior do not have so many assets, and even the weaker earls are no more than that.

Simon felt that his back was much stronger.

However, the foundation of the territory is still too weak, mainly because of insufficient population and inability to be self-sufficient in food, so he still needs to act cautiously.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after Simon finished his breakfast in the morning, he was practicing the combat body training method.

After such a long period of unremitting efforts, the Iron Bone skill has been improved again and has become level five.

The panel level has not been improved yet. After all, these days are quiet and peaceful, and it is too slow to rely on daily experience.

And now to upgrade one more level, the experience required is not comparable to before.

"Baron! Baron Leroy Kaye of the Green Forest Territory is visiting. I wonder if you will meet him?"

Knight Silde, who was guarding the castle gate, suddenly came to report.

"Hmm? Leroy Kaye? Oh! I remember! He's still alive, looks like he's got some luck."

Simon was slightly startled, then remembered that this man was the orphan of a baron who was killed by the mercenary group before, and seemed to be the fifth child.

Now it seems that he is quite capable and has inherited the title of baron.

He had also entrusted his sister, Flynn Kaye, here before, and Simon had only met her a few times.

He just asked the servants to arrange a room for him and provide meals.
