What is inseparable from the development and strength of a family? There are many answers to this question, but if one is forced to choose, then it is the governance of the territory.
Territory governance is the source of family prosperity, because even if all members of a family are extraordinary geniuses, their food and clothing must be maintained by the taxes they receive from territorial governance.
If their governance is sluggish, then the quality of life of the people in the territory may decline. If they are cruel, then the leaders will move around, and if they perform well, the refugees will make their homes here.
Therefore, to measure whether a lord is qualified, the increase or decrease in population is the most reflective of the problem, and this is one of the surveys conducted by Sorovia.
But how to investigate? Can't count them one by one, right
Sorophia's approach to this problem is the statistics of commodities, which is also essential in everyone's life, but most of them have to buy from merchants-salt.
One has to eat salt. This is caused by the physiological structure. Especially in this era when most people are engaged in manual labor, there is no energy at all if they do not eat salt.
"Earl Earl is not the place where salt is produced. All salt must be bought from merchants and then sold to the people. Therefore, we are very confident in this data and will never make major mistakes. According to our analysis, Earl leads this. The total amount of salt purchased for decades has slowly increased, which is basically the same as in areas where there has not been war."
"From this data, the Earl's governance is good, but it's not bad or bad. Normally, Eric's family should be ordinary in this case, but the actual situation is..."
"The actual situation has become that the Earl's family has risen strongly in the past few decades, once again becoming the top of the top five families, and has a great influence on the nobles of the entire religious country, even surpassing the Acate family. , Completely contrary to your prediction."
"Yes, so I said it was weird.
Alvin showed a confused expression, and Roja became silent.
"For the rise of a family, if you don’t say anything else, you have to have more money. Count Eric hasn’t improved for many years. Where did the money come from? Although the generations of Eric’s family are extraordinary, they have not heard of it. What's the secret formula for making money, it's better to say that each one is very low-key, only the power is really expanding."
"To sum up, Master Luoya, I think...you better be cautious."
Alvin Dui's smiling face was a rare reminder, and the black-haired boy nodded solemnly.
"Thank you for your kindness, President Alvin, I'll be careful. Apart from these, can you think of anything else?"
"Um, I just read the internal report, so let me go back and look through the records of Eric's house, maybe I can find something new."
"Great, I will pay the right price."
"Haha, no, as long as you have something that you can't fit in my house to sell, I can sleep and wake up happy."
Roya smiled bitterly when he heard the words of the middle-aged businessman, thinking that he couldn't sell the exquisite little things in the favorability exchange area to him. After the two chatted for a while, Alvin left.
Later, Roja found Kadia and wanted to know about Eric’s family. He didn’t expect Kadia directly to give him a report on Eric’s research within the family, and also refreshed Roa’s views on his family. Cognition.
I used to live in a mansion full of servants, but I still can’t feel it. In fact, the Acate family is quite good in terms of military affairs. I don’t need to say that it has its own standing army. The militia guards composed of source-level 6 can also get together. With more than 3,000 people and a special spy agency, this combat power ranks among the top five nobles.
Yes, each of the five nobles is similar to an independent small kingdom. The system can be regarded as a standard medieval template. Hizkrit has the absolute advantage of faith in the human world and also has the greatest strength. Whoever beats the other, so it is The co-lord of all people, the daily life of the religious country is actually the nobles going to the royal family to wrangling and judging.
Eric, who was once the second underlord, was on the wrong team during the war more than 100 years ago.
When it comes to wars between nobles, one has to say that there is an unwritten rule, that is, indestructible clan.
Nobles are elegant, and wars must be elegant. If you can't fight, you can surrender and pay the ransom. If you win, you must leave an incense for the opponent. Unless there are very special circumstances, it is impossible to kill the opponent.
This is like a convention signed by all nobles at birth. The purpose is to preserve each other's inheritance to the greatest extent. Anyone who breaks the rules will be resisted by all the nobles, because no family is everlasting.
Just like the Gemini War more than a hundred years ago, Eric still had 10,000 soldiers and horses on hand under desperate situation, and they stood in the wrong team and followed Prince Vader, instead of directly rebelling against the flag, so the royal family at that time Driving them to the border is almost the limit.
Another important clause written in the code is that you cannot leapfrog command. As a co-lord, the royal family can command the five nobles and its own nobles. This is reasonable and legal. However, if it is a Viscount under Eric, then it will definitely not work, leapfrog. It is a trampling on the dignity of the suzerain noble, and it will also be resisted by all nobles.
Everyone is just looking for a big brother to comment, not to let the big brother dismember, if the big brother really dares to break the foundation, then you can't run if you can't beat it? Isn't it fragrant to find a new big brother with the territory
For this reason, it is difficult to investigate the specific strength of the noble family. According to the research report of the Akat family, Eric has been slowly increasing the size of the army over the past few decades. This is nothing. After all, the total population is also But the interesting thing is that there are more and more mercenaries in their territory.
Although Eric is located at the junction of the three countries, and there is a small country nearby, it is a good place for mercenaries to make money, but which of these people are real mercenaries and which are pretended mercenaries are open to question. NS.
Regarding this, the Acate’s report can only estimate the number of people, and there is no way to find out. Luo Ya also understands this, and after reading this report, he is completely vigilant.
Roja's mentality of revisiting the system activity discounts is completely different. The strange situation of the inexplicable rise of Eric's family makes him feel bad. His current goal has changed from high combat effectiveness to life-saving means.
Levels can be practiced later, people can't live later, Roja is very clear about his goal, everything he has done so far is to survive.
Under this strategic guiding ideology, Luo Ya saw a circle of discounted items in the activity area, and his eyes lit up immediately.
【Bloodlight Disaster】
[The failed product of a great study of the curse eye association. There is a certain probability that the person who kills you will have a red light and name on the head. Remember, if you see it, don’t shout and leave quickly]
[Price: 4200 gold coins]
4200 gold coins, that is to say, 10000 gold coins before the discount. As a spell skill, this Bloodlight Disaster can be said to be quite expensive. , It seems that it can be released without resorting to anything.
It's just that the certain probability is a bit cheating. What value is not written on it, and it shouldn't work for dangerous people who haven't witnessed it, and it probably can't prevent justice poisonous flying knives and the like.
However, despite all the restrictions, some are better than none. In this way, identifying dangerous skills or items may result in more lives in the future.
After thinking about it for a long time, Roja still thinks that he should take advantage of the 40% discount to take advantage of this skill. It's just that... 4200 is still a bit expensive, and he needs to find a way to borrow some money. As for Who to borrow...
"Alyssa, uh, can you lend me your compensation money temporarily if you don't need it?"
In the room, Luo Ya forced to endure the embarrassment and began to borrow money from the silver-haired girl. Alisha, who came to visit Luo Ya, blinked and nodded lightly.
"Okay, I'll just give you everything I want, brother."
"I borrow it, not give it, I will pay it back, and I will pay it back when I go home."
Roja waved her hand and hurried to clarify that in fact he has money, but the money is in his hometown in Acate, and will not be able to get it for a while. However, for Roja’s guarantee, Alisa is not very interested, she just ordered Nodded, didn't care at all.
"..."
For Alisa's behavior that seemed to have no money consciousness at all, Roja felt that he should say something. He thought about it and reminded:
"Alyssa, although we don't usually use gold coins, it's better to keep a little bit. You have what you want, right?"
"What I want..."
The silver-haired girl muttered to herself, staring at Luo Ya for a long while, which made the young man quite strange.
"Alisa?"
"what!"
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing, I don't have anything I want, elder brother, please feel free to use the money."
The girl whose face was flushed back to her senses said this hastily, and stood up and bowed slightly.
"Then, my elder brother, I'm going to study, and I'll see you later."
"Oh, that's it, but study... It doesn't matter if you catch up after those courses."
Roja is a little puzzled about Alisa's diligence. Shouldn't children at this age be able to skip school for a day? It would be too hard to go out to Santo Lorraine and insist on studying.
Regarding the misunderstanding of the teenager, the silver-haired girl did not explain, she just smiled and said softly:
"It's the bride practice."
