Overgod Ascension - 587. Chapter 587

Months passed in a flash.

Just when King Ding Wu’s pheasant was on land and water, a hundred thousand army invaded Lingzhou and the world was terrified, Wu Ming’s gaze returned to the world of Thrall.

In the blood-red universe, the Sor continent, as the core of the universe, also experienced a long period of time.

Windfire Plains, Tucker Mountains, Karros collar.

The entire territory has already undergone earth-shaking changes. Several roads lie within it, and there is often a hustle and bustle of people, cars, caravans, and caravans.

In the center of the collar of Carlos, a castle has been erected.

This is the “Iron Fort”, the current center of the ruling of the Carlos, where the entrusted knight William Wallace lived and worked.

Within the iron fort.

The big pink bed is full of a powdery taste.

Wu Ming stood up half naked, ordered the maid to come in, took the towel and wiped his face, came to the balcony, and looked at Dongsheng’s sun, his body was slightly shaken.

Just now, the extra-dimensional channel of the universe opened again, allowing him to receive information from the deity.

“I came to this world not only for peace in the world, but also for the land to raise swords and soldiers!”

He muttered.

“Dear……”

A lazy voice came from behind: “What are you talking about?”

“Nothing, my beautiful housekeeper!”

Wu Ming turned around and looked at Amelia. The face of this beautiful woman was slightly flushed, and there was a radiant smell.

“Let’s continue with what we talked about last night… Have you finished your report and summary?”

He put on a nightgown made of silk and went to the hall next to him. A hot breakfast was already prepared on the table. On the silver tableware, the thinly sliced steak exuded a tempting taste. , Next to it are white bread and butter, and the boiled milk is vaping.

The rattan basket in the center of the dining table was also filled with freshly collected berries, and the dewdrops on it shone with a clear light. In the seasoning bottle on one side, there are a lot of pepper, refined salt, and various precious spices.

“The business statistics about last month have come out. From refined salt and glass, our harvest is 15,300 Jindelong… Here is the specific transaction and tax situation!”

Amelia was holding an account book, looking at Wu Ming at this time, a daze flashed in her eyes.

If this young man was willing to marry her daughter back then, it would be a wonderful thing.

As a housekeeper, she knew that the passage of time over the past few years has not only turned the knight in front of him into a mature man, but also accumulated his wealth to the point where even the gods would be jealous.

“In terms of population, the newly-built Lusen Town has been put into use, specifically demarcating areas for the workers in the saltworks, glass factories, and steel workshops to live. At this time, the permanent population has reached tens of thousands, and the monthly floating population is maintained. More than 3,000…Most of them are merchants, wanderers and the like from various places, and there are also a steady stream of wild people who come to seek refuge. Perhaps they have also heard of the benevolent name of the master!”

The construction of a large number of workshops represented a huge demand for manpower and material resources. Wu Ming treated these workers not badly, and deliberately sent people to spread it, especially ordering the minstrels to compose a simple and easy-to-understand tune. It also attracted many free people and even serfs to come, looking for opportunities to survive and even get rich.

Even in the territories bordering the Carros’s, there have been cases of institutional serfs fleeing here, and even the gallows can’t frighten them. For this reason, the lords of those territories have already written to Wu Ming complained many times.

“These are trivial matters, but the concentration of people will inevitably lead to security problems. I don’t want my territory to become a battlefield. I hope my security officer will take care of these!”

Wu Ming added.

In Carlos, the punishment for criminal acts has always been known for being cruel, and even the regular army has assigned many people to station in towns and suppress places.

Once a thief is caught, the only punishment is to be demoted to a slave, to be a basic and humble labor force in a quarry, saltworks, or workshop, and work to death for a lifetime.

Crowds are gathered to fight and hurt people maliciously, and the gallows in front of the town is even for them.

It is precisely because of severe penalties and military repression that the security environment of the entire Carlos is barely considered good, otherwise it is hard to say what will happen.

“Actually… Qiao An often complains to me that there are too few lads under him!”

Amelia gave a wry smile.

“You can tell him not to worry about this question, because I plan to allocate a hundred of the recruits with poor performance to join the security army.”

Wu Ming answered with a smile.

“That’s great… It’s just…”

Amelia glanced at Wu Ming cautiously: “Our territory always maintains a regular army of 500 people, is it too much?”

She knows the current strength of her own territory best.

The regular army consists of five hundred people, but in fact, those who work hard in factories, saltworks, and quarries are all first-class, strong adult men, and because of long-term observance of commands, they have a high degree of organization and discipline, even On rest days, they will also participate in militia training.

As long as they encounter danger, they can equip it at will, and it will be a terrifying army!

“Actually, even the Lord Earl feels quite worried about the strength of our Wallace family. Of course, he is very dissatisfied that you have delayed several times and did not go to Wuthering Castle for a knight baptism!”

At this time, the vassal and vassal had mutual powers and obligations. It can be said that before Wu Ming made any mistakes, even if the Earl of Blue Mountain wanted to use Carlos’ collar, he was a little weak.

But Wu Ming smelled more of it.

“It seems…we have too much wealth, which has aroused the coveting of others! Jin Delong, who contributed in the past years, can’t feed the beast of Blue Mountain!”

He sighed and said slowly.

Since working hard to develop his territory, he has long known that there is such a day.

After all, although the knight is also a member of the nobility, his power is still a little too low, and he can’t suppress too much coveting for wealth.

“What does he want?”

After Wu Ming ate and drank enough, he crossed his fingers and asked in a deep voice.

In a few years, not only did this body grow to twenty-five years old, but it also made him more knowledgeable and know more.

For example, the baptism of the knight can only be performed once, and no more effects thereafter. The assimilation effect of the upper bloodline will crazily reject other extraordinary bloodlines.

With this premise, Wu Ming naturally declined the invitation to the Knight’s baptism several times on the grounds that he wanted to continue to exercise himself for better promotion.

For the Earl of Blue Mountain at the beginning, this was quite a bargain. At least he gained a knight’s combat power and saved a piece of holy oil.

But now, he began to worry whether this was a manifestation of Sir William’s disloyalty.

“He wants a lot, but he is also ready to give you something… For example, he will marry a daughter to you, and you have to pay 50,000 Jin Delong’s bride price, or refined salt, sugar, glass, etc. The secret recipe for the best-selling merchandise in the territory!”

Amelia whispered.

“A little daughter wants so many things in exchange. Does he think his daughter is made of pure gold?”

Wu Ming sneered.

The Earl of Blue Mountain is also an alien among the nobles. He is known for his fertility. However, most of his descendants are daughters. The boy either died or fell ill. There are still seven or eight daughters who cannot find a suitable husband.

“Please pay attention to your words, Master!”

Amelia sternly reminded: “Earl of Blue Mountain is your vassal after all, you are his vassal and have obligations to him!”

“Yes! Obligation…”

Wu Ming sighed. He has not yet overthrown the power of the entire aristocratic class, and even his own wealth has to rely on the protection of such rules, so naturally he can only follow the rules of the game.

“So every year I send one hundred adult men to serve my monarch free of charge, and also bear part of his military expenses, so that my monarch has regained his military equipment and even began to prepare for war…”

He shrugged helplessly: “Viscount Garcia is definitely not a person who is waiting to die. He will ignore these provocations by the Earl. Wait and see. The second Liger battle is about to begin!”

Because the Earl of Blue Mountain called himself the reincarnation of the Blue Tiger, and the Viscount Garcia came from the family of the Highlander, the nobles of the Fengying Plain referred to their first war as the battle between the lion and the tiger.

In the first battle of the Liger, it ended with the Tiger’s defeat, and he also got a daughter for it.

But now, the Earl of Blue Mountain is obviously not reconciled to his previous failures, and wants to regain his glory and establish authority.

“Master, as a knight of Lord Earl, you will definitely be called up during the war!”

Amelia reminded her master: “So you can’t fight with the earl.”

“I know… this marriage, postpone it for a while, and tell the earl, I want to think about it…”

Wu Ming quickly thought about it.

Compared with the past, he passively catered to the chaos of the world, this time the Liger battle, he can be regarded as the driving force behind the scenes.

It can be said that if it weren’t for his farming, which greatly revitalized the economy in the Land of the Blue Mountains, and restored the strength of Lord Earl, he would not have the desire to find a place.

Of course, for the Cavaliers, war is the biggest gamble.

If it succeeds, it may be possible to canonize a baron and become a real noble family.

In the event of failure, the former Carlos Knight is the best example.

“This world, after all, can’t escape the war…”

Wu Ming sighed. This is the only way to truly change the entire world, obtain a huge amount of force, and accumulate resources for the deity to break through the golden immortal!
