It should be that when Knight Rummard was forced into the army, he didn't explain clearly to his wives the details of the classified information he collected for the family. What Lorist wants is current affairs, business conditions, and the dynamics of Zhoubian Kingdom. The most noteworthy thing is the actions and directions of the business alliance in terms of armaments. It's a pity that the large stack of Morente City newspapers that Tager brought over were all gossip tabloids. They were either sensational and weird, or serial pornography or knight novels. There were no serious political and economic news at all...
Well, there is a tabloid called Moonlight Night Talk, which has a total of twelve copies, and a twelve-chapter novel is serialized on it. The main character is a woman, and her husband is a captain. The content of the novel is The heroine started her cheating journey after her husband went to sea, and met twelve handsome and extremely rich princes charming. The novel describes the complicated relationship between the heroine and the twelve princes charming Psychological changes and emotional fluctuations, after spending a frenzied night with the twelve princes charming, the heroine made up her mind to elope with one of them, but the other fell in love with her. Her prince charming turned into hatred because of jealousy, killed the lucky one and then committed suicide. After this incident, the remaining ten prince charming also left the heroine for various reasons. Looking at the sea in front of the window and waiting for her husband to return, the whole play ends.
Pfft, Lorist, who was browsing the novel called "Twelve Nights of Enchantment" while having breakfast, sprayed directly when he saw the back. Fortunately, he was eating alone, otherwise it would be too rude. This plot is too bloody, at first I thought it was that kind of **** novel, how did the heroine meet those twelve supporting actors, seduce each other, flirt, have sex, what actions and gestures The description is very harmonious and touching, with a lot of physical feelings and psychological descriptions of the heroine mixed in, which makes people want to scull involuntarily. But I didn't expect the plot to take a sharp turn in the last chapter, and the romance directly turned into a tragedy. The change is as big as being poured with ice water in the middle of the masturbation when the excitement is high, and there is a tendency to impotence...
This is too deceitful, I don't know how many people will scold the author who wrote this novel. However, Lorist immediately thought that this might be a private hobby of one of Lummard's wives who liked to read these novels. It seemed that Lummard's head was also in danger of turning green. It’s just how Lummerd was recruited to the front line. Although he has also cultivated to the silver level of fighting spirit, his swordsmanship is not very popular. He can only be regarded as a second-level pharmacist. Perhaps the situation after the war between the Commercial Alliance and the Central South Kingdom’s coalition forces is not very good. Wonderful, Lummard was recruited only to let him treat the wounded.
Leaving aside the fact that the Knights of Rummerd were conscripted into the army, the war between the Commercial Alliance and the Allied Forces of the South-Central Kingdom was a major event. Unfortunately, Lorist was far away in the north and could not get first-hand information. In the past, the information collected by the Knights of Rummard for the family was passed on by the cargo ship of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce to Hilovas Island.
Although the family had a system for training falcons to send messages, they couldn't equip Rummod with them. One is that the amount of information is small, and Letter Eagle cannot carry too heavy letters on long-distance flights. The second is that it is very troublesome for Yangxin Eagles to receive eagle training. The third is being coveted by others. I once tried to equip Lummed with a letter eagle, but I didn’t expect that in just three days, new nobles from the business alliance would come to ask for it. Lummed had no choice but to sell it at a symbolic price. The other party, fortunately, the letter eagle flew back to the Northland, but the nobleman who bought the eagle ordered his servants to turn the house upside down until it was confirmed that the eagle did not return to the house of the nobleman. That's all.
After breakfast, Lorist asked Genorio to recruit Tagle, and pointed to the pile of gossip tabloids: "Tager, it seems that you have to send two people to Morente City to teach Paul How should the wives of the Knights of Mord collect intelligence information, instead of bringing back these boring tabloids that publish gossip, advertisements, and gossip. You see, there is also a tabloid claiming that the Business Alliance and the Central South Kingdom coalition forces are at war. The reason is that the coalition forces of the Central South Kingdom demanded that the Commercial Alliance withdraw from the annexed country territories and re-establish those kingdom duchies...
The coalition forces of the Central and Southern Kingdoms had their brains trapped by the door to make such an impossible request. The kings and grand dukes of the annexed kingdoms and duchies were all dead and had no heirs. These businessmen were much more ruthless than the nobles. There is no point in re-establishing a country without even an heir. Besides, will the business alliance spit out the meat that has been eaten? There must be some other reason for the war between the two sides, and the tabloids like this will make up things without getting the news to deceive the people who buy the newspapers. "
"Okay, Your Highness, I will send people to go, and I also want to send people to Morente City to see why the Knights of Rummard were forcibly conscripted into the army." Tagle looked a little puzzled: "But Your Highness, what do you mean by making a fool of yourself?"
"Uh..." Lorist thought for a while, and then came up with: "When I was studying in Morente City, I heard from those neighbors that there was a vendor in the farmer's market who always put those taro potatoes in the market when others bought his taro. The rotten yams are put into the good yams selected by the buyers when they are not paying attention, so they have been nicknamed rotten yams."
Tagle expressed admiration: "Your Highness, you are really knowledgeable."
Lorist's face was a little red: "You don't need to flatter, just do things seriously. You send someone to Morente City, and teach the wives of the Knights of Lummed how to collect information and classify information, and the other to inquire Did the knights of Lumurd offend someone by being forcibly recruited into the army, or did the business alliance get off to a bad start and mobilize after losing the battle, and carefully understand the situation after the war between the business alliance and the coalition forces of the Central South Kingdom. As for the knights of Lumurd, I It is estimated that he should go to the front line as a pharmacist to treat the wounded, and it is impossible to threaten his life for a while, but it is best that the people you send can find him and guard him by his side."
"Yes, Your Highness." Tagle turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Lorist.
"Wait, Tagle." Lorist frowned and circled in the tent, stopping only when Tagle was dizzy: "Tager, the Commercial Alliance and the Central South Kingdom coalition forces have already The war has been going on for more than a month, is there any movement from the Second Highness? It stands to reason that our king should be very happy, and at the same time there will be some trouble. But until now there is still no movement, so quiet makes me feel very strange, this It's so abnormal."
"Your Highness, after receiving information about the war between the Commercial Alliance and the Allied Forces of the South-Central Kingdom, I also went to inquire about the movement of the Second Highness. In the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Antinac, we arranged three Xinying communication points, but the three The information from the local area indicates that everything is normal. The Second Highness has not moved, and has not issued an order for the Royal Guards and White Lions on the front line to attack. I have sent someone to check if this is the case. I believe that after a while There will be news in the day." Tager replied.
"Very well, you are very careful, go do the work first, and keep a close eye on the Second Highness. I'm worried that our king is planning something in his mind." Lorist nodded his head to show his appreciation.
Lorist's itinerary is to inspect the Chaser Legion first, then go to Jinling to see the construction of the fortress and the gold mining situation, then go to Beihai City, and finally go to the Blade's Edge Mountains. Miss Resty and her two precious daughters went to the gunpowder laboratory for the second, the black iron refining base for the third, and the weapons production base for Ironforge. After this round of shopping, it is estimated that we will not be able to return to Rock Castle in early August.
Yuequan Town, which leads to Jinling, has become a large construction site. This is a newly built town next to the small lake that surrounded and wiped out the 100,000 army of the mountain barbarians. It serves as the logistics base for the Jinling fortress and gold mine. Because the shape of the small lake is round like a moon, Lorist named it Moon Spring, and this newly built town was logically called Moon Spring Town.
The road from Yuequan Town to Jinling has been preliminarily built. This is a road that is half a meter above the ground of the Black Forest and can pass four freight carriages at the same time, so that the Jinling Fortress is attacked by the barbarian army. The Shi family can quickly mobilize troops to reinforce it. At present, it will take some time to compact the clay and gravel on the entire road, not only to make it level, but also not to worry about being damaged and washed away by heavy rain during the rainy season.
It takes less than half a day to reach the Golden Ridge Fortress along this Black Forest Avenue. Although the road is smooth, it is full of blood and terror. On both sides of this black forest road are heads stuck in branches. According to an official in charge of road construction, during the first month of road construction, those captive mountain barbarians were thinking about running away all the time, and no less than a hundred escaped mountain barbarians were captured every day. The severed heads were planted on both sides of the road to warn those wild laborers who still wanted to escape. After killing more than 4,000 escaped mountain barbarians, the remaining mountain barbarians became more honest.
Lorist, who has been the lord for more than ten years, has long since become hard-hearted, indifferent to and turning a blind eye to these heads planted on both sides of the road. On the other hand, although Genorio was tall, he was only sixteen years old. He had never seen such a terrifying scene before him, and he trembled a little while riding on the horse. Lorist took a look at him: "Straighten your chest, sit down, this is just a small scene, nothing to be afraid of. If you have seen the corpses of old people, women and children massacred by slave traders on Hilovas Island, goodbye If you pass the pyramid of human heads that I ordered to beheaded in the Haneyabad archipelago, then you don't care about what you see."
"Yes, Your Highness." Genorio straightened his chest and replied. Although he was still a little afraid to look directly at the heads on the side of the road, at least he was no longer trembling.
Berunek led a large group of people to meet him from a distance. The Golden Ridge Fortress has begun to take shape, and construction is in full swing. According to Berunek, the construction of the fortress and the long wall went very smoothly in the past three months, and they were not harassed by the mountain barbarians. It is very likely that those mountain barbarian warriors who fled back wiped out more than 100,000 mountain barbarian troops because of the Norton family's first battle, so they did not dare to offend easily because of the strength of the Norton family, so as not to repeat the same mistakes...
Director Speer is still at the gold mine and is trying to establish a relatively complete set of regulations to supervise gold mining. And Master Xi Luo went back two months ago, and now his eldest son is staying here, responsible for assembling and producing new gold mining equipment and ore delivery systems.
Lorist expressed his satisfaction with everything in front of him, and hurriedly left for Beihai City after staying for two days.
In Lorist, North Sea City, it was unexpectedly discovered that the Duke of Kenmes was still staying here. The Duke of Kenmes happily told Lorist that he had just bought six large ocean-going schooners and eighteen medium-sized fast armed merchant ships in the name of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, forming a merchant fleet for the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. , and is currently preparing for the business, warehouse and office of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce in Beihai City. However, he immediately complained why he bought only the right to use but not ownership, whether it was a storefront, a warehouse or an office building, so that he needed to be approved for reconstruction and addition, and he also had to pay a large amount of land every year Use tax...
Lorist shrugged and replied, there is no way, this is the territory of the Norton family, and all the land belongs to the Norton family. As the heir, he has no right to sell and sell the land to others, so he can only use this method to achieve the best of both worlds. The family still owns the land ownership, and the person who bought the house or land gets the right to use it, which does not affect the development of the land. building.
However, the Duke of Kenmes reacted very quickly, and he was keenly aware of the unfinished meaning in Lorist's words, and then he thought of the two people who were selling land in the south of the Northland for the nobles to buy land to build manors. A special zone has realized that this is another way to make money. So he grabbed Lorist and prepared to have a detailed talk. It's just that Lorist didn't have time to entangle with him, so he had no choice but to send him to Director Kedan, and he agreed to inspect the seven towns in Fengleyuan, which was undergoing real estate development, before sending him away.
After inspecting the reorganized North Sea Fleet and the Niujiao Bay Shipyard, Lorist went to Nico Academy. Miss Teresty already knew the news that Lorist was going to marry Princess Sylvia in November. Although she insisted on celibacy and dedicated herself to the god of knowledge, Simin Ryder, after all, she had already given birth to two lovely daughters with Lorist. The throne of the mistress of the Norton family was once so close to her and within easy reach, but she rejected Lorist's marriage proposal and pushed Lorist to Princess Sylvia.
I don't know whether it was aroused or regretted, but during the five days when Lorist stayed in the academy, Miss Teresty, contrary to her previous aloof attitude, had to linger with Lorist every day, so as not to exhaust herself. Ken give up. Lorist also understood the pain in her heart, and treated her extraordinarily tolerant and gentle. And promised to build her a manor in a beautiful place near Nicole College as her private domain.
After leaving Nico Academy, Lorist went to the Blade's Edge Mountains. The first stop was the gunpowder laboratory chaired by Professor Bob. The most important thing here was the artillery experiment field. The three thousand guards stationed here were all sent by Lorist. Another guard battalion performing top-secret missions, they mastered the Norton family's big killer, the bronze artillery chariot. Different from the bronze cannons equipped by the North Sea Fleet, these bronze cannons for land warfare are lighter and more delicate. Catapults can more quickly shift and execute the launch command.
The Bronze Artillery Battalion was led by Jim who returned from injury after failing to be promoted to the Gold Rank, and Paul Binns, the former commander of the First Battalion of Guards. It's just a pity for the two of them. It took three years for the Bronze Artillery Battalion to finally complete the artillery update, the improvement of the tank, and the firing of the artillery in various terrains. It's over, they're useless.
Lorist also lamented that the bronze artillery battalion on land almost cost the family nearly five million yuan to achieve initial results. At present, there are two hundred bronze cannons and three thousand guards, which can be said to be the most expensive and most powerful armed force in the family. Believe that when they appear on the battlefield, no enemy can resist their thunderous blow.
"Now it's time to go to the black iron refinery. A few days ago, Master Sid sent me a letter, saying that he would give me a surprise. I am looking forward to what the surprise will be. Let's go, Genorio." Lorist and Jim Say goodbye.
"Yes, Your Highness."
