Chapter 248

"I'm Dante Alighieri, a knight under master Florence. This time, I'm escorting Lord Elsie at the command of master Florence." The knight with silver heavy armor turned over and dismounted, and then said concisely, "but I took the lead in catching up because I felt a strong breath here before. Lord Elsie is still behind, and it will take a while to arrive."

Dante did not have any arrogant expression because his strength was far superior to Sean and others. He was like a real knight, modest, polite and equal. This kind of slightly old-fashioned knight is rare in this era, so both Rena, shefanio and even Cecilia pay more attention to this knight.

"Great!" Sean's face finally showed a trace of joy, "Florence is quite trustworthy."

"Florence has always been very trustworthy." Dante frowned. It was obvious that the knight really implemented the chivalry into his life, so he naturally showed some dissatisfaction with what others said about his master.

But Sean didn't bother to pay attention. He turned to Rena and said, "Rena, take a team of people with Dante to pick up Elsie. I and the others will take Ronnie back to the barracks first. You'll just come by yourself."

"OK." Rena nodded, "so when Sean led the team back, the soldiers in charge of the night watch had found it all the way, and then the bugle sounded. Almost for a moment, the originally silent barracks was like a waking beast, slowly opening their eyes and showing their fangs.

When Sean and others were still more than 200 meters away, the whole military camp had begun to rely on fortifications. If the enemy dared to attack forcibly, the militia in Baige town would not consider whether they could hold the camp, but they were sure that it would be a heavy blow to the unidentified army.

For the rapid response of the military camp area and the long torch lit from Baige Town, Sean nodded with satisfaction, which proved that the training since this period of time has not been abandoned, and it still has a very obvious and remarkable effect. Although in Sean's eyes, the militia is still only a second-class army, but this reaction ability is undoubtedly close to the third-class army. Sean thinks that if he can pull the militia out and fight a few more wars, he may become a real third-class army.

Sean certainly wouldn't mind the improvement of the army.

Therefore, of course, it is impossible to make an own dragon event in which one's own people beat one's own.

So soon, a commander in the barracks got the confirmed information that it was indeed the return of the Lord's army and captured a prisoner, which is naturally exciting enough.

But tonight, Sean seems to be the darling of the goddess of luck.

Not to mention the emergence of a fog spirit, he didn't have to face the pain of downsizing, and he could also get a gift from Vivian, a strong man. In addition, Elsie also arrived here tonight, and the military literacy of the camp militia has been greatly improved. These things have been enough to excite Sean for a long time. But what really surprised him was that Neil was doing some research work in the main tent. He was worried that Neil would reject this way of kidnapping. Unexpectedly, he didn't care at all.

"I didn't expect you to really become a Lord." Neil saw that the person who walked into the tent was Sean. After looking up, he bowed his head and continued the unfinished work in his hands, which is almost the same as William. "I have heard William say about the general situation in the territory, so I have made some modifications to some planning and development policies written by William before Well, I also made some adjustments to your void town layout plan. Do you have any opinion? "

"No." Sean said with a smile, "William admires you very much, so since you are willing to stay and help me deal with these things, of course I won't have any opinion."

"It's good if you don't, but if you do, I won't care."

Neil said to himself. This attitude and character made Sean doubt whether Neil was William's long lost relative - if from a human point of view, Neil could be William's grandfather - otherwise, how could the two people's arrogant self-disease be so strong.

"I have studied it carefully these days. The development prospect of the territory is not considerable. I really don't understand why you chose such a piece of land as your territory." Neil sighed helplessly, "in the short term, we may not be able to get too much income in the territory, and we may even have to pay continuously, but this situation will probably start to improve next year I personally suggest that all taxes in the territory be exempted this year, so that residents can have a good winter, and the backlog of goods will basically be transferred to the market by residents next year, which will stimulate the growth of the market, which will greatly strengthen the prosperity of the territory and attract more refugees to settle down. After all, after the expansion of Baige town into a city, the number of residents that can be accommodated has also greatly increased... "

"... then we need to reset business tax, land tax, resident tax, etc. As for the land outside Baige Town, I suggest issuing an announcement that all residents will be allowed to reclaim for free in the next three years. As long as they can reclaim, the reclaimed land belongs to them. Of course, there are some more detailed things to deal with. Naturally, it is impossible for residents to occupy the land without work, Therefore, there should be a punishment system... "

"... absorbing a large number of refugees through land reclamation and tax relief will accelerate the development of our territory. But we need to invest about 500000 gold coins this year. About 50000 gold coins can be initially recovered next year, and the rest will take about six to seven years to completely recover this investment. Although the effect is really fast, the income will be relatively low... "

"... in addition, the development of relevant industrial chains in Hongye town must also be put on the agenda. My personal suggestion is to carry out the construction of the void city at the same time. On this point, you are right not to expand Hongye town into a city, so we can create a high-quality trade route. The first batch of red maple wine will be available in about two years. At that time, we can consider establishing a trading team by ourselves or transferring the property right of red maple wine in a monopoly way. However, I prefer the second kind, because we can set up a auction and sell it at a price. The effect of this method is not fast. At least it will take another two years, but the return is rich enough. It's just that the initial investment will be relatively large. At least it needs nearly one million start-up funds, but the annual profit can reach 200000 gold coins, at least... "

"... all these inputs will cost about 1.7 million, but they can be fully recovered in about five years, which is still calculated according to the current situation of the territory. If the number of residents in the territory increases and the trade route is smooth, even if we can take Hongye town as the trade core to launch more products and your so-called real estate business, the return time will be faster... "

Neil clattered a lot, even threw out dozens of planning drawings, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of various plans, cost recovery time, invested capital and energy return to Sean step by step. Sean's head was big.

He was not good at territory construction, because the details involved were too complex, so Sean never participated in any work on territory development in the game. The only thing he can do is fight, and it's still the kind of PVP fight - in modern terms, it's a duel on high-end combat power, and it's impossible to even fight with soldiers.

Therefore, what Neil said, Sean basically went in the left ear and out the right ear. After that, he could vaguely see countless stars rising from his head.

However, Neil was so excited that Sean, as a lord, of course could not completely ignore his hard work, so he still listened with a gathering God on his face, but in fact, he didn't even know what he was listening to. Finally, he just nodded like a baby.

Finally, when Neil finally stopped, Sean felt relieved, but Neil took a drink, moistened his throat, shook his hand and took out a stack of paper filled with all kinds of words and patterns. It seemed that when he was ready to say anything, Sean finally couldn't help it.

"All right, let's call it a day." Sean couldn't wait to stand up, with a serious expression of responsibility, weight and distance, reached out and patted Neil on the shoulder, "William said you are very powerful, so I trust you very much. You should be fully responsible for the territorial development policy. From today on, you will be my chief of staff. The future of my territory depends on you. I look after you, boy! "

Neil nodded seriously, his eyes a little excited: "don't worry! Now that I have promised William, it is naturally impossible to shrink back. I have planned all the development of the territory in the next ten years, and the rest is the adjustment of details. In this regard... "

Just then, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the barracks.

Sean's eyes suddenly brightened: "well, Neil, I'll leave these things to you. I'm going out to deal with my prisoners of war and other problems, that's all. "

"Yes! Lord. "

Sean nodded with satisfaction, and turned his back with a relieved expression on his face.

It turned out that being a Lord was so tired. Sean began to miss the beautiful day of shaking hands with the shopkeeper（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
