"Well... let's do it! From today on, the area in the southern suburbs of the city near the Gnansi Forest will be listed as a hero's cemetery. Anyone who sacrificed for the territory, whether they are soldiers or civilians, whether they are mercenaries or businessmen, will be honored as long as they are against
Those who have made meritorious service in the territory are all buried in the mausoleum of the Heroes Garden.
Moreover, as long as you are rated as a hero, the territory will pay a generous pension. If your family is in need, the territory will take care of you. Of course, this also applies to foreign mercenary adventurers."
After saying this, Clemont paused for a moment, turned to look at Elton's deputy David and asked: "How much finance does our territory still have?"
Hearing this, David turned the book in his hand to the middle page with his white-gloved fingers, and then replied meticulously: "Currently, the territory has a total of 76,420 gold coins! Nearly 50% of them come from soap.
Of the revenue, 30% comes from glasses, and less than 20% comes from the territory’s own fiscal and tax revenue.”
After hearing David's report, Clemont nodded. Although the profits from the soap and glasses were very violent, his share was too small, and the expenses of the territory were too high some time ago. The entire Knights of Fury Thunder never stopped.
Everything that comes from nothing is almost always made with money.
It is very rare that there are nearly 80,000 gold coins left in the territory.
"Let's do this! You immediately set up a special fund for pensions, and allocate part of it from the territory's finances every month..."
Listening to the lord's words, David's expression became more and more confused. He could understand every word of the lord, but why couldn't he understand them all together? Strange?
Clemont also discovered this problem. It seemed that the fund was still too advanced, so he changed his explanation.
"You can understand this way, this money is specially used by the territory to issue pensions, and you are the custodian of this money. No one can touch this money, including yourself. If anyone dares to touch it, then
Don’t blame me for being rude!”
David was frightened by Clemont's words that contained murderous intent. He came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Lord! I understand, Lord! Don't worry, I will take care of it!"
After explaining the pension, Clermont put the issue on the new city wall. The construction of the new city is now halfway through. The new city wall must be built before March or April next year, otherwise he will have to wait until he arrives.
We're on the front line, there's no telling what might happen!
"Dylan, Gordon, Abel, I have been thanking you for a while, the construction of the new city must be accelerated. After the construction of the new city is completed, you will immediately start the construction of the new city wall. If you need anything, just tell Secretary Barr directly!"
"Yes, your lord!" The three of them looked at each other. Although it is difficult to carry out construction in winter, as long as it is the order of the lord, they will faithfully carry out it.
"Rupert! Train the Knights well during this period. It is not difficult to find their shortcomings in this Warcraft siege. As a whole, if they cannot even achieve basic unity and cooperation, then they are not worthy of being called
Knights!"
Being singled out by the lord, Rupert looked a little embarrassed. After becoming a member of the Knights, he also became a little confused.
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Compared with the Knights, the performance of the City Guards this time was much better. Although they were all ordinary soldiers, the courage and cooperation they showed were far inferior to the Knights. Perhaps there was a sense of competition in this.
Yes, but it is very rare for ordinary people to behave like this.
"Harry, the City Guards performed very well this time. The City Guards' salary is doubled this month! I will give you two more days off!"
Harry was a little overjoyed, thinking that the lord would forget about these ordinary armies after he had the knights! Unexpectedly, the first one to receive the reward was actually their city guard.
"But Lord, what should we do about the city defense in those two days?"
Rewards are rewards. You can't let yourself drift off. You still have to ask clearly about the work you should do.
"The knights will take over the city defense for those two days! Rupert, is that okay?"
Seeing the expressionless expression on the Lord's face, Rupert nodded dejectedly.
"No problem, Lord!"
"Okay, that's it, you all go and get busy! By the way, Secretary Barr, I have fulfilled my promise to those mercenary adventurers! I will keep my word and will not lie to them!"
"Yes, Lord Lord" After agreeing, Old Barr placed a piece of parchment full of words in front of Clemont.
"This is last night's harvest, please take a look at it, Lord!" After saying that, he followed the others and walked out of the study.
After reading the data on the sheepskin, Clemont felt much better. Although the war was cruel, the harvest was also very good. He harvested nearly five to six hundred magic cores, as well as various precious materials, etc.
And the corpse blood of Warcraft is also a resource.
It happened that the representatives of several major chambers of commerce had not yet left, and they had already divided up all these things early in the morning. In addition to the magic core, they bought nearly 50,000 gold coins for other items.
Demon Core Clemont had explained before that this was hard currency and he had to keep the territory for his own use.
Putting away the parchment, Clemont stretched. After such a blow, the territory was expected to enter a new round of development soon. During this period, it was also time to settle accounts.
Looking out the window, Clemont's eyes narrowed slightly.
…
At the border of the Kethorn Plains and the Autir Plains, there is a city that occupies a very large area. The prosperity of the city is only slightly inferior to that of Sakr City.
This city is Skikda, the capital of the Bryce Territory, and now Viscount Nez, the head of the Bryce family, is living in the castle in the city.
Due to the different styles, the entire castle is made of gorgeous bluestone. You can see how gorgeous the castle is when you look at it from a distance. Not only is the castle gorgeous, even the knights guarding the castle are wearing extremely gorgeous knight armor, which looks different.
Like a battle-hardened warrior, he is like a performer in an opera house.
In the castle, in Viscount Niez's study.
"My lord!" A thin, bearded male knight said respectfully to the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
This man is the current heir to the Bryce Territory, that is, the current Lord Nez.
At this moment, Viscount Niez had a calm smile on his face. He glanced at the knight behind him and asked lightly:
"Ottos, has the matter been cleared up?"
The man replied: "No news has come yet, but I can be sure that the people who attacked us this time are definitely not aliens from Bonavian Mountain."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Viscount Niez frowned.
"The people who attacked us this time all came from the east. They wore our armor and weapons. And I found that the clothes of these people are exactly the characteristics of our Westerners. Moreover, they know us very well. My subordinates are suspicious.
, they should be people pretending to be from the Knights of the Eagle!"
Hearing this, Viscount Niez frowned: "Are you sure it was the Eagle Knights who did it?"
…
After the three confirmations, Nez became a little angry. He had just occupied a mine owned by Sakr with his front foot, and lost two mines in succession.
Not only did he lose the mine, but all his men were pulled out and thrown into the snow. This was a shame for the Bryce family, and it was even more of a shame for him, the newly appointed patriarch.
.
But at this time, he obviously forgot about his first move.
