The knights of Hongye Town, the celebrities of Horseshoe Pearl City, and the nobles of Little Versailles had banquets every day for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, there was still a banquet, and all the gentry in the area near Hongye Town were invited. These gentry worked on this for generations, and most of them were descendants of Junker.

Juncker is a broad concept.

Among the descendants of the nobles, all the sons except the heirs belong to Junker.

Depending on the family's influence, some Junker's descendants still belong to Junker, while some Junker's descendants fell directly into civilians.

But no matter what, Junker is also the lord's son. The lord will more or less let his second sons inherit one or two manors of the family to make a living. Junker passed it to his son. Over time, these descendants of Junker who were rooted in the manor became small landlords and gradually evolved into squire.

It is a good thing to have gentry in the territory. Many gentry will work hard to cultivate their sons, hoping that their sons can become knights. At the same time, gentry is also the source of territorial officials, helping the lords manage various manors. At the same time, the lords will also offer bids to attract gentry from other places to bring serfs to the territory to cultivate.

population.

It has always been one of the important factors that restrict the development of the territory.

When the Iris family first came to Hongye Town, the population was only a little over 8,000. After 126 years of hard work, it finally grew to more than 12,500 households. At the beginning of the year, there were 50,175 people. Because the Iris family is a prosperous upstart, the population of the territory is still increasing.

However, these more than 50,000 people were able to support only 121 knights.

A knight had four entourages, plus 216 entourages from Butterfly Castle. A total of 780 entourages were supported on the territory, most of which were warriors.

"So, the ratio of knights to warriors on the territory is about 1 to 6 to 1 to 7?" Aldington was bored at night and began to worry about the governance of the territory.

He is giving advice on hunting the golden lynx.

It’s not his turn to make trouble for the tactical operation of hunting the phantom beasts, but when it comes to territorial governance, he still has a certain say in this, who has been influenced by the higher civilization on earth. Indeed, he was an ordinary office worker in his previous life, but he had never eaten pork and hadn’t seen pigs run away.

Trump can govern the country by relying on Twitter. What's wrong with governing a county-level territory by himself?

"After catching the golden lynx, try to tame it first. If the taming is successful, my phantom beast will have a place. If the taming fails, I will slaughter and sell materials, and at least a few thousand leph... Speaking of which, if you sell a few more phantom beasts, a new castle will be built."

The magnificent Butterfly Castle was built for hundreds of years, but it only cost 20,000 leph.

An ordinary space ring costs only about 10,000 leph - compared to the cubic interior space of Valkyrie's ring, the ordinary space ring is a larger shoe box, with a small internal space and a long sword that cannot be put down, and its practical value is not outstanding.

"Without the threat of the phantom beast, the lynx forest can be cut down, digging canals, reclaiming wasteland, and absorbing population. In a few years or more, this place will become another fertile land for the family."

Reclaiming wasteland is only the first step.

He hopes to grow high-value cash crops and increase the income of the territory through the new manor. He previously hopes to make money through business. He has planned to run newspapers, build watches, develop gunpowder, etc., but he feels that he may not be able to succeed steadily. After all, the overall environment is different.

Moreover, he was underage and had insufficient voice, so he might not be able to support his family in running newspapers and making watches.

There is another reason. Astrological clocks and self-propelled pocket watches actually need to be made by matrix scholars. Obviously, watches must also be made by matrix scholars. The cost of hiring matrix scholars is not cheap, and the output cannot be guaranteed. What's more, the price of big-brand watches on the earth is millions. Can they still be sold here at such a price?

All kinds of restrictions have limited his business talent, so after thinking about it, the safest way is to farm.

No matter whether it is a good year or a disaster year, you will not lose money in farming - the shortage of food every year, and insufficient food is the biggest constraint on the development of the Warcraft breeding industry.

“Farm!”

He rewrote these two words in his notebook: "Farming is extremely attractive to the nobles. My father probably had the intention to entertain the nearby squire and wanted to absorb a group of serfs through the nearby squire. It seems that my father has decided to hunt the golden lynx."

Now, I'm just waiting for my grandfather Earl Hellington to arrive.

...

Before the grandfather and his family arrived, Durotan Bonber had already personally brought his wife and son Dulik to Butterfly Castle.

Durotan has a very high status and is the only marquis in the Danube province.

However, the glorious event of bloodline awakening is worthy of his arrival in person, not to mention that the Iris family has been very close to the Rock family over the years.

"Mr. Bonber, Madame Bomb, Viscount Durique, and Madame Norena, welcome to the Butterfly Castle." Baron Aureno and his family greeted him outside the gate.

"Haha, Aureno, long time no see." Durotan Bonber's face was full of beard, with a rough face and a loud voice. "Madam Carly, I feel relieved to see that you are still healthy. Alicia often talks about you."

The noble lady holding Durottenbonbonbo's arm smiled and said, "Madam Carly, I really envy you. She has such an excellent grandson as Aldington." Her name is Alicia Blackfly, and she is the sister of Aron Blackfly, a Border Boy, the Storm Leader. Her surname originated from the Royal Family of the Plantain and is now the Border Earl in the Marquis' Class of Marquis.

"Madam Bonber, I'm looking forward to you." Old Mrs. Carly warmly gave each other a gift to Mrs. Alicia.

It was Aldington's turn to greet each other after the elders ended their greetings: "Mr. Bonber, your arrival makes Butterfly Castle shine."

"No, no, no, it was you who made the Butterfly Castle shine. The surname of the Iris family will be respected by all the nobles of the Goreth. Moreover, Little Aldington, I heard that you became a bard, which made your husband very happy and felt that you had taught a great writer."

Durotan Bonber said happily, treating Aldington as enthusiastic as his junior.

Aldington hurriedly humbled for a while and said to Viscount Dulik: "Sir, thank you for your teaching over the past seven years, and I hope to continue to learn from you in the future."

"Of course, I feel very honored as my student." Dulik directly hugged Aldington and slapped his back hard.

After letting go, Aldington saluted Norina again: "Madam Norina."

Norina just smiled: "Aldington."

She is the daughter of Bian Bo of the Kingdom of Macedonia, and she always has a vague gap with the nobles of the Kingdom of Porcelain. After all, the two countries have been fighting for thousands of years, and the hatred between the nobles is difficult to heal. When Dulik married her, the criticism that caused has not yet subsided.

The greetings for more than ten minutes finally ended.

Baron Aureno reached out and pointed: "Everyone, please come in."
