Chapter 171: Ambition keeps growing

"secretary… "

Liszt is very lost, he has no secretary.

There is no way to realize the beautiful life of the rich and powerful class who "works as a secretary when they have something to do, and a secretary when they have nothing to do".

In fact, he doesn't even have a personal maid—monogamy under the constraints of the social system is strictly enforced, even if the lovers of the nobles go around and have illegitimate children together, they still abide by this system.

This is not an official system.

This is a social convention.

In order to ensure the continuation of monogamy, female nobles can only have personal maids, and male nobles can only have personal servants, so as to prevent the monogamy from being destroyed in the name of personal servants.

He has explored the formation of this ethos, and finally speculated that it probably originated from the queen system of the Moon Empire.

This empire that has disappeared for a long time is like the Roman Empire in ancient Europe. Although the Roman Empire was destroyed by the barbarians, its cultural system deeply affected the entire European continent. The same is true for the Moon Empire. As the strongest empire at that time, its cultural influence still remains.

At present, most countries and languages have more or less absorbed the language of the moon.

Including the grading of knights and the relationship between lords and vassals, they all originated from the Moon Empire, and the queen system was also preserved. In many countries, women once served as kings. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire has yet to have a queen, but monogamy has been inherited.

"Empire of the Moon... I don't know what's going on."

As the lord of a small town, Liszt has a lot of free time. He likes to read knight novels. He has heard about the Moon Empire countless times—the knights will always encounter the ruins of the Moon Empire somewhere, and then get the treasures. Boom, beat the sky and beat the air.

Because there is no habit of recording history.

Most of the information about Moon Empire is passed on by word of mouth.

This kind of information transmission has a distortion rate as high as 99%, so the Moon Empire has become a legendary empire, with countless beautiful and incomparably prosperous. Just like the ancient Greece in the European population, the ancient kings in the mouth of Confucius, all kinds of beautification, all kinds of embellishments, and then replace the truth, and become the official history in people's minds.

"It's annoying not having a history book... I'm really afraid that after reading too many knight novels, I'll take the nonsense as a messenger." Liszt shook his head.

Stop thinking about these messy things.

When he studies history, besides satisfying his curiosity, he wants to learn more about tactics through history, and talk about the general trend of the world... But the history of bullshit, forget it.

Back to regretting the lack of a secretary.

He felt that he had to speed up the cultivation of a group of female retinue knights to serve as his personal bodyguards, otherwise he would lack atmosphere and passion in making speeches and pointing out the country in the future.

After inspecting the buildings of the town, return to the castle.

He went directly into the study room, took out thick paper and a quill pen, and planned to reorganize his planning ideas for Huahua Town.

"If Huahua Town is to be turned into an economy that mainly processes agricultural products, then the current layout of the town has to be re-planned, and the trade route has to be revised. Land transportation conditions are far inferior to sea transportation, sailing directly from the sea to Coral City, Save more shipping capacity.”

He first drew a rough map of Coral Island.

In the earl's study room in Tulip Castle, there is a map of Coral Island, and the island as a whole presents a distorted "8" shape.

The northeast corner is Huahua Town, and the narrow part in the middle of the "8" is a deep-water port, and Coral City is built next to the deep-water port.

From Huahua Town to Shanshan City, limited by the terrain, it is impossible to walk in a straight line. It needs to pass through Beigu City and Yulin City in the middle, which is a "zigzag" route, which wastes a lot of time.

"The geographical location of Huahua Town is remote, and the wharf must be built quickly to open up sea transportation; land transportation can be used as a supplement, and a checkpoint can be built at the entrance of Thorn Ridge. In this way, the main area of Huahua Town will be divided into three parts: the dock, the town, and Thorn Ridge. part, undertake trade and processing tasks respectively.”

He wrote several serpentines in the workshop area of the town.

They are all planned workshops - sugar workshop, spice workshop, textile workshop, leather workshop, paper workshop, tofu workshop and tulip dried flower workshop, as well as shoe shops and bonesmith shops.

At the wharf, there are also planned workshops—brick factories, cement factories, pottery kilns, salt farms, glass workshops, etc.

Near the Thorn Ridge checkpoint, there are also planned workshops-wooden workshops, slaughterhouses, horse markets, etc.

Some of these workshops do not have enough craftsmen to support them, and some have technology that has yet to be developed, but in Liszt's vision, these should all be achievable through hard work.

But soon.

He lost his interest in writing again.

"Costo has already reported that the Huahua is ready to go to sea at any time, and now we only need to wait for Granny to finish the Dinghaishen Pearl before we can explore Heima Island."

Once Heima Island is seized, his future strategies will focus on Heima Island.

The importance of Flower Town will undoubtedly drop a lot. Especially when he achieved military success and turned Heima Island into his own fiefdom, he would definitely hand over Huahua Town. Just like the Tulip family gave up their original fiefdom and moved to Coral Island, taking root in the new territory.

"When I have enough financial and material resources to solve technical problems such as papermaking, cement, tofu, and glass, I'm afraid I will already be the Viscount of Heima Island."

Thorn elves will be born at any time. Once there are elves, they can generate a steady stream of financial resources, and it is not difficult to arm a squad of knights.

At that time, it will not be difficult to charge on the battlefield and make contributions.

Instead of spending time and energy researching technology, it's better to save elves desperately.

The Humulus family and the Crushed Stone family were all awarded viscounts by virtue of their respective elves. As the son of the earl, as long as he has done meritorious service, the earl has no reason not to make his son a viscount. At that time, he can designate Heima Island as his own fief - the nobles can exchange credit for the deserted island.

In case of making great contributions on the battlefield and being favored by the Grand Duke, it is not impossible for the Grand Duke to distribute the title directly.

Being a direct vassal of the Grand Duke is more dazzling than the vassals of the Marquis and Earl, and will be promoted more quickly in the future-rulers always like to promote new nobles to check and balance the old nobles.

"But once I become a vassal of the Grand Duke, I will have to be independent from the Tulip family. By then, I will be Liszt Thorn, Viscount of Black Horse Island?"

Of course, this possibility is relatively small. A baron is only valued by the Grand Duke for how much credit he can make. Besides, he was born as a vassal of the earl, and the grand duke generally would not cross the line to win over his vassals. In particular, the relationship between the Earl and the Grand Duke is pretty good, and they won't win over casually.

"Anyway, I'm going to make a decision on Heima Island. The Lilong Maqun must not be touched by anyone!"

If you want Black Horse Island, you have to make meritorious service and get sealed.

Liszt put down the quill, looked up at the window, and on the horse farm in the distance, several horses were grazing leisurely: "People will die in battle... At that time, I will see if I can find a position similar to that of Levi's." , act as a liaison, do logistics, and make some military exploits."

paused.

He said to himself in a calm voice: "However, the knight team must be cultivated as soon as possible, my own fighting spirit must also be speeded up, and Dou Sen's training must also be strengthened!"

Once a person has ambition, many ideas will change unconsciously.
