Hearing the shouts outside the door, Clemont stood up immediately after coming back to his senses, and then ran out in a few steps, followed closely by Barr and others.
Looking at the panting Barry, Clemont asked with a heavy expression: "What's wrong? Is the beast tide coming again?"
After hearing the Lord's question, Barry, who was running out of breath, quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, Lord, it's not about the beast tide!"
…
"So, the monster in Gnans Forest last night was disturbed by the Bach Sea Clan!"
Sitting on the main seat in the castle hall, Clemont tapped his fingers on the armrest.
"Yes, Lord. Last night, the Sea Clan suddenly landed from the eastern coast of Gnansi Forest. They pushed all the way and disturbed the monster. It is said that a big battle broke out in the eastern part of Gnansi last night, led by several barons.
The coalition army formed by the leaders and the monsters in Gnansi Forest resisted the Sea Clan. However, in the end the coalition army seemed to be repulsed, and there was no movement from the monsters. Now the Sea Clan army has occupied most of the eastern coast.
area.
Oh, and when I came back, Baron Ottini from Cartier had already been recruited to the battlefield!"
After listening to Barry's words, Clemont nodded. He had heard about the war with the Sea Tribe from Pamela's slaves, but he didn't expect it to break out so quickly.
As for conscription, he has just become a lord, and his father should be very aware of the situation in the territory, so this can be avoided.
However, this kind of war will not end for a while. In other words, the territory can develop well for a while, but the war also brings unexpected opportunities. We must always pay attention to this matter. Even if we can't eat meat, we still have to think about it.
Take a sip of soup.
Thinking of this, Clemont said to Barry: "Barry, last night, peel off the furs of those beasts and monsters and replace them with iron. You can exchange them for as much as you can. Oh, by the way, there are still four broken blue patterns in my room."
Bring the bearskin with you soon!"
If we want to talk about what the territory is most lacking now, then iron is definitely at the top of the list. Although there were iron mines in the territory before, they have been abandoned for a long time, and there are not enough manpower to mine and refine them again. It is better to buy them directly.
"Okay, Lord Lord!"
Then Clemont looked at Martha again.
"Aunt Martha, please organize the manpower to process the meat of these beasts! First, give five kilograms to each person in the territory, and the rest will be dried into dried meat and stored."
There were at least two hundred beasts killed last night. Except for some that were inedible, the rest were all good food. With these meats, the guards could quickly train themselves.
After arranging things properly, in the afternoon, Clemont took Old Barr to inspect the only village in his territory.
But when he came back in the evening, Clemente had a sad look on his face.
He went there mainly to understand the situation in the territory and make plans for future development along the way, but he did not expect that these unruly people would be so disrespectful.
That's right, they are unruly people. When they heard that the visitor was their lord, the villagers not only did not warmly welcome him, but turned hostile. Some even closed their doors and did not give him any face as a lord.
According to Old Barr's explanation, these two villages have been out of the jurisdiction of Claremont City for a long time. They have lived by primitive means of survival for so many years. Now a lord suddenly appears and wants to take charge of them. Naturally, they are very resistant.
.
But Clemont is not worried about this matter, because this matter is easy to solve. As long as he uses the material seduction method, I believe they will come running around on their own.
"The population is too small! How can a territory with such a small population develop?" Back at the castle, after dinner, Clement was lying on his bed, looking at the roof absentmindedly.
According to the land area of Clermont Territory, it can support at least tens of thousands of people. And he also took a look at the landforms of the territory today. Most of them are plains that are very suitable for farming. If all these abandoned lands are developed,
The development of that territory will make a qualitative leap.
"How to get people? Go to other territories to dig?" Thinking of this, Clemont laughed to himself. With the current situation of the territory, it is estimated that he can't dig. Moreover, if the owner knows about other people's things, it will be very dangerous.
Hard to end.
"Forget it, let's find a way to make money first! With money, anything can be said easily!" He got off the bed, walked to the table and sat down, picked up an old quill pen, and wrote on the parchment with the light of the candle.
Started writing.
The candles soon burned out. After replacing them with new ones, Clemont looked at the words on the parchment that only he could understand and nodded with satisfaction.
Above are some of the things that Clemont recorded in his past life. This is what makes him rich. However, there are many things that he only remembers the raw materials. The specific manufacturing methods are not very clear. If you want to make them, you have to spend time.
Go and experiment slowly.
And some things cannot appear too early, otherwise it will only harm yourself. You must know that the survival rule of aristocrats is never development, but oppression and plunder!
"Well, choose this as the first way to get rich!"
After choosing the first treasure to get rich, Clement put away the parchment and fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Clermont sent someone to get a large piece of white grease from Martha, and also asked someone to prepare plant ash and a clean linen cloth.
After getting everything ready, he dived into the kitchen.
Seeing Clemont dragging grease into the kitchen, Fernandi followed him curiously.
"First add water to the pot, then add the plant ash, wait until the plant ash dissolves, then add the oil and heat it, and keep stirring..."
While silently reciting the soap making process that I read in a novel in my previous life, I operated.
With constant stirring, the fat in the pot melted quickly, but as time passed, Clement's arms became sore, and the fat in the pot never saponified.
After another hour, the fat in the pot finally changed color. Then Clemont threw a little salt in while stirring. After the salt melted, he threw the stick aside and sat down on the stool.
Rubbing his sore arm.
At this time, Fernandi, who had patiently watched the whole process, asked aloud: "What are you doing?"
"Hey, it's a good thing, you'll know it soon!"
Looking at the mysterious Clemont, Fernandi became more and more curious.
While the soap was cooling down, Clemente and Fernandi discussed the issue of vindictiveness.
"Uncle, can I really not awaken my fighting spirit?" This chapter has been completed!
