Chapter 136 Difficulties in Territory Development and Mirror Fusion Remaining Souls

After Ivita returned to the territory, she quickly asked the housekeeper to report the situation.

With the food and materials purchased for thirty gold pounds, the territory has rebuilt four temporary villages around the castle on the mountainside. However, the buildings used are all temporary stone houses and wooden houses, which are no better than the temporary strongholds built for survival in the wild.

How many.

In addition, six temporary strongholds were rebuilt on the original addresses of the remaining eleven villages that originally belonged to the Barony of Morrow.

Because there is no money, the speed of rebuilding the village is very slow.

Ivita had no other way to deal with this.

In fact, if he had money, he would rather upgrade the village to a castle complex.

But this requires a lot of capital. Their current large-scale production of cast iron is not enough. They need to expand the ironmaking plant and increase the number of craftsmen.

But this kind of thing has to happen step by step.

Forming a stable cooperation with Palvega is the first step.

In the study, Ivita stayed away from everyone. She sighed alone in the study. People who are not family members will not know the importance of money.

Ivita picked up the candy mirror on the desk and pressed her left palm on the mirror. Something similar to water waves appeared on the mirror. As Ivita added magic to it, the mirror became more and more strange.

Five remnant souls lingered around the mirror, and the first remnant soul was bounced away by the mirror. At this moment, the magic circle outlined with malachite and wild boar blood ground into red powder on the desk suddenly lit up, and the entire mirror surface became brighter.

It was as if the bread had been softened by baking, and the first remnant soul actually squeezed into it.

As the first remnant soul entered the mirror, the entire mirror emitted a faint blue light, and a figure appeared inside the mirror and flashed past.

This figure had the outline of a girl, who seemed to turn around in the mirror, but then quickly disappeared from the mirror.

Because the other four residual souls were bounced away by the mirror.

At the same time, all the red powder on the table turned white, as if it was useless.

Ivita raised her eyebrows, not expecting it to be consumed so quickly.

Wild boar blood is relatively easy to obtain, while malachite is a copper ore naturally exposed on the surface of the earth, which is relatively rare.

But I have already consumed all the malachite in the castle.

He thought for a while, picked up a piece of paper on the desk, and wrote a decree belonging to the lord, ordering five adult men to search for twenty baskets of malachite ore in the territory.

This task is to dispatch young people who have not given free labor to the lord this year, so he does not need to pay.

But Ivita thought about it. Because of the last war, everyone is suffering now, so she added at the end of this white paper, but if these five do this, the lord will be happy to give them 2 each.

Pints ​​of grain in return, but that's a reward, not something that should be given.

Ivita called the steward and asked him to hand the document to the people below for execution.

At the same time, Ivita looked down from the window of the study and saw five knights, including Blanton, in the center of the castle, receiving training from the Griffin knight on the lawn.

In fact, according to the normal thoughts of the lord, Blanton is in an embarrassing situation and is likely to die due to conspiracy.

But Ivita was tolerant and instead gave him a village, if that village could be rebuilt successfully in the future.

Because of the previous war, almost all the knights in the territory died, so now Ivita has direct control over five villages and a castle.

However, because of Pan Shen's fire, these seem to have no meaning.

In the afternoon, Ivita invited almost all the high-level officials in the territory to hold a meeting, asking everyone to think about how to restore the territory.

The knights, demon hunters and witches all remained silent.

It would be funny to ask them to think about how to develop their territory.

When everyone was silent, Griffin Knight suddenly said: "Sir, are we going to rob the surrounding territories?"

"Or robbing passers-by?"

This was the knightly education he received, which taught him all the ways to accumulate wealth.

Just rob.

Ivita tapped her fingers on the table. This would not work. If she were not careful, she would become a public enemy.

"The lime powder on the land can only be shoveled away, but now the progress is very slow, and the farming season has been missed. At least one to two years of agriculture have suffered huge losses." Ivita said: "Expanding the cast iron, let

It is unrealistic for most of the territory’s citizens to produce.”

"So……"

"We can only develop handicrafts."

Hei Lang was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, do you want to develop the territory into a handicraft center similar to Frocana?"

"But is it really possible to completely separate from agriculture?"

Ivita nodded. "I have my own ideas."

In this era, there are a few items for which it is easier to make a lot of money, such as soaps, shampoos, and perfumes, which tend to be body cleansing and light luxury products.

Moreover, I also know how to make some simple Chinese herbal ointments, such as relatively simple methods to treat skin inflammation, and even anti-inflammatory methods to treat some wound inflammation and skin diseases.

For example, anti-inflammatory substances are extracted from willow leaves.

But if this is the case, he will need a huge amount of start-up capital as a source of start-up to turn the economy of the entire territory into an official economy with the lord as the core.

So in the end, it’s still money.

Where can I get money by myself?

Ivita said to everyone: "You can tell the people below and let them think of any ways to quickly get starting funds."

"No matter who it is, I will give him a reward."

So, everyone left the study.

Ivita originally thought that he would have to wait a long time, but the next day, after he put the second remnant soul into the mirror, someone asked to see him in the study.

The person coming is none other than Tartax.

Iveta raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. "I originally thought that you would be reluctant to give me advice. Do you have any good advice?"

Tartax, wearing a simple gray cloth, swallowed his saliva, not knowing whether his request would anger the wizard lord.

"Lord, if I can help solve the problem of lack of money in your territory, can you agree to my request?"

Ivita didn't even raise her eyes and said: "You make your request first, and then I will judge whether it is acceptable."

Tartax, said: "My request is that if His Highness Geron, the Crown Prince of Alsace, passes through your territory, please allow me to see him."

"Of course, I also came up with an idea on how to make a huge amount of money from your territory - that is to rob it."

"Robbing everyone who passes by your territory!"

Ivita frowned, this person of unknown origin actually wanted to meet her enemy.

He subconsciously said: "But this makes me a public enemy."

Tartax shook his head and said: "It's not you who will rob it, but the robbers in your territory who will rob it."

Just as Ivita was about to speak, he immediately added, "You are not asking your soldiers to play the role of robbers."

"But you can introduce real bandits into your territory."

"Your territory has been flooded with many explorers due to the recent war. I see that your army can barely keep them quiet, but as long as you let go of control of these explorers, they will soon turn into a group of bandits.

.”

"And as long as you kill some bandits from time to time, these bandits will become your tax collection agency!"
