Chapter 197
If the family declines or even loses the title of nobles, then the glory of the past will be nothing more than the smoke of the past.
Therefore, family members must serve the interests of the family.
Under such circumstances, the head of the family makes decisions that are beneficial to the family's interests, and the family members are almost irresistible.
What's more, although Grand Duke Thorn is shameless, his decisions are always right.
"You should do it yourself." Grand Duke Jing Thorn's aunt said helplessly, "I will leave if there is nothing else."
Grand Duke Thorn watched his aunt leave. This time he spent a lot of money and hoped that it would be successful.
In this way, if there is an international war in the Frost Moon Kingdom in the future, the Thorns family will be relatively stable.
But there is another troublesome thing. After he convinced his aunt, he had to convince his daughter.
...
Rand received a reward from the king, and from then on he could formally call himself the Earl of Moon Phase.
This is a very exaggerated class jump.
Rand is still very satisfied with this, but this winter will be spent on the full moon.
Now that I have just conquered this land, many things are unscathing.
He must be in charge.
And here, there are many things he has to deal with.
For example, the construction of the port must be promoted.
Rand has developed to this point and is very satisfied with his progress, but the world situation is changing very quickly now.
Some events are different from what he knew when Yun played "Deep Moon".
Therefore, Rand must accelerate his own development.
The sooner he can hold power and power, the greater his initiative will be in the future situation.
Now he is an earl.
However, the population of his territory was not enough. The Crescent Corner was just a viscount, and the Full Moon Corner was just a baron Corner. The population of the Full Moon Corner was not very much captured.
Even if the monsters and adventurers served Rand, Rand's population is only more than 13,000.
And now Rand possesses the Earl of Moon Phase, which can accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 people.
Even though he absorbed a lot of the population of the Anti-Travel Committee and planned to enfeoff some vassals, there was still a lot of land that lacked population cultivation.
In addition, there is also a shortage of money.
If we only care about the original three territories, then Rand's wealth will be surplus.
But now everything is booming, and Rand is bound to expand his army.
That money is not enough.
You should know that generally speaking, the cavalry and infantry of the nobles were accumulated over the years by the family.
Weapons and armor are even passed down by fathers and sons and grandchildren.
And Rand had to pay a price to expand his army in such a short period of time.
The only good news is that his blast furnace technology has been completed and he has his own iron ore. Although the output of weapons and armor is not fast, he can at least build it himself.
In this chaotic era, the price of weapons and armor has risen very significantly.
But it cannot change the current situation where everything is missing.
The Snow Fox Earl also built a defense line, and it is not convenient for him to go over and rob.
After thinking for a while, Rand planned to think of a solution on port construction.
Now, only his territory in the Frost Moon Kingdom borders the inland sea.
If Lander builds a port, it will be destined to become an economic center near the port.
Logically speaking, it costs money to build a port, but now, can we sell some land and port usage rights?
Although nothing is there yet, there will always be something in the future, right?
There is a high probability that you can update today, and you can ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month
Please give me a monthly ticket.
In short, I just want monthly tickets.
Chapter 285 Rand has set his sights on you (first update)
Autumn passes quickly in the midst of complicated affairs.
Winter is coming.
This is the third winter for Rand to this world.
The snow came very early this year.
As winter begins, snowflakes fly down.
Rand came to the coastline wearing a velvet lord coat.
This place is named Xinyue Port.
Although the port is not even in its prototype yet.
The snowflakes fell on Landra's expensive lord's costumes, leaving ice and snow marks on it.
Rand moved a seat and sat across the shoreline, waiting for the fishman and Naga to get ashore.
On the coastline, there are corpses of fishman and Naga everywhere.
The fighting power of the Fishman and Naga on land is not weak.
Or it is even a little more powerful than a normal human race.
However, under Rand's targeted arrangement, as long as there is no Master Naga on the opposite side, there will be no resistance.
Rand prepared giant shields and prickly spears.
He even brought some chariots.
The warriors advanced slowly with giant shields, and there was nothing we could do about the fishman and Naga.
Only in a few cases, when Naga team appears and Naga mage and Naga warriors work together can there be a slight casualty to Rand's army.
But Naga's losses will definitely be greater.
After the massacre of the fishman and Naga who were trying to establish a defense line on the coastline were killed.
Rand sat proudly on the soil and beach intertwined by bright red and snow-white.
With legs raised, folded your hands on your knees.
Beside him were Olena and Elsa.
Olena looked at the ice crystals on Rand's clothes and asked, "Do you really need to hold an umbrella?
Rand shook his head, looked at the coastline, and said, "It's coming."
Now Rand found that the perception ability given to him by the Torch Goddess is quite good, at least the range is OK.
For example, now, he can know in advance that Naga is coming in the sea.
Rand found a bard, and this time he planned to negotiate with these Nagas.
Now that he has shown off his force, these aquatic intelligent creatures must be treated with caution with his opinions.
Rand couldn't destroy them, but it was easy to drive them away.
And the far coastline, in the deep sea, Naga has no advantage over the giant beasts in the sea, other vicious predators, and mermaids.
Naga and the fishman are not suitable for survival in the deep sea. These two creatures will always compete with humans for the coastline, because if they are far away from the coastline, they will find it difficult to obtain enough food to resist dangerous creatures in the sea and maintain them. ”The number of mouths.
Being driven off the coastline means weakness or even destruction for a Naga tribe or a Fishman tribe.
A female Naga who looks very high-ranking appears on the coastline surrounded by many male Nagas.
But perhaps because she was worried that Rand would kill someone suddenly, most of her body was soaked in the sea, ready to escape at any time.
"I can understand the common language in mainland China." The leading woman Naga looked at the man who sat upright among the large number of fishmen and Naga's corpses, with a little snowflake on her clothes and hair, and said that she did not need a translation.
Rand was not surprised by this. Fenris had reported this a long time ago.
"We can be at peace," said Naga, the female leader, who glanced at the surrounding bodies and looked gloomy. "I can forgive you, provided that you don't get close to the coastline, otherwise, the rage will destroy you."
The female leader Naga in front of him was either bluffing or not figuring out the situation.
"I'm going to build a port here," Rand said.
"Impossible!" The Naga leader's pretty face was very fierce at this time.
Rand raised his eyebrows and said, "I am kind enough that I will allow you to survive in the area I have designated."
In fact, Rand wanted to catch them all over to work, and Rand was already making concessions now.
In the current situation, Rand has a completely advantage.
"That's our territory." said the Naga leader.
Rand was too lazy to continue to argue with the Naga leader: "Abide by me, or die."
Chief Naga's snake eyes stared at Rand, roared, and then turned and left.
"It seems that they still have to be beaten to the end now." Rand stopped sitting in the chair and stood up.
There are a large number of corpses of fishman and Naga on this coastline, but in fact, they were more captured by Rand and went to work as coolies.
Now the remaining fishman and Naga have also been targeted by Rand.
"Camp on the spot." Rand ordered.
Rand decided to deal with the Naga tribe's problem this winter and start construction of the port and shipyard.
Anyway, Rand had only two choices left for the Naga tribe.
Surrender.
Or perish.
At night, Rand rested his head on Olena's smooth thighs and looked at Elsa beside him: "Are you really not coming?"
Elsa stared.
The same is true when he was in the den. Elsa and Olena would not lie with Rand together, and Rand could only choose one of them.
The other one will consciously avoid it.
When going out for the battle, Elsa or Olena would not find another place to sleep for Rand's safety.
But I would rather listen to the sound than go together.
Now Elsa moved a small bed, half lying on it, looking at Rand who was pillowing on Olena's thigh.
Now that we may have a big war with the Naga tribe at any time, Rand will not do anything tonight.
But Elsa still refused to lie together.
When the three of them are so honest together, they seem to be in the bathhouse only.
But Rand didn't plan to force it.
He is already very comfortable now.
"What strategy do you think Naga might use?" Rand asked.
From Rand's perspective, his military strength has been crushed for Naga, and he can't think of a reason why these Nagas still have to resist stubbornly.
The gap in strength is visible to the naked eye, but they should not seek death even if they know this.
In fact, if Rand is willing to give up the fishing industry for a short time, he can even poison the coastline.
Anyway, Rand felt that he had a great advantage.
