Heroes of the Invincible Knight

In the garden, a well-dressed middle-aged man was walking quickly towards the council hall of Hunter's house.

The man's name is Iger, and he is the big housekeeper of the Hunter family.

Iger was adopted by the Hunter family since he was a child. He has worked for the Hunter family since his grandfather Richard's time, and his honor and disgrace have long been tied to the Hunter family.

Before Richard was born, the internal affairs of the territory were mainly handled by Iger to assist Viscount Sauter. He was the only talent with a little internal affairs ability among the Hunter family's group of bosses, and had always been the chief steward of the Hunter family.

Even after Richard took charge of the territory, Iger continued to serve as the chief butler. It's just that the power is not as concentrated as before, but Iger has no complaints. After all, allegiance to the Hunter family is his life's mission.

When they came to the door of the council hall, two guards at the door saluted Iger.

"Master Li Cha is inside."

"Um"

Iger nodded slightly to the two guards as a response.

After entering the door, he saw Li Cha sitting on a chair.

"Master Richard, good day"

While speaking, Iger made a standard bow to Richard.

"Uncle Iger, don't be too polite."

"Young master, the etiquette cannot be neglected."

Li Cha could only greet Iger with a helpless expression and sit down.

Sometimes people are hypocritical.

Although Li Cha told Iger not to be too polite, if Iger really dared to show the pedigree of the old ministers and elders in front of Li Cha, it would definitely arouse Li Cha's disgust.

Fortunately, Iger is very observant of his duty as a minister, and has never gone beyond it. More importantly, they are loyal and have certain management skills.

Although these management talents are very basic and experience-based management in Li Cha's view, he is an internal affairs talent, and he understands Li Cha's new management style quickly, so he still sits firmly at the top of the big board after Li Cha was in power for several years. in the butler's position.

"Uncle Iger, how much food do we have now?"

"There are still more than 7,000 stone rye and 3,000 stone green rice in the warehouse, and there is also some stock of jerky."

The staple food of this world is rye and green rice.

"In addition, the young master has lowered the land tax very low in order to attract farmers in recent years. Almost all the farmers in our territory have grain reserves. If there is a shortage of grain, they can also collect several thousand stone grains."

Although the northern land is a bitter and cold land, it actually has fairly fertile black land, and the Daling River and Xiaoling River originate from the Daxue Mountain in the farther north, and flow through the entire ironwood forest through the Hunter Territory. formed a large accumulation plain.

One acre of land can yield a stone and a half in a year.

In recent years, Li Cha has attracted a large number of refugees and escaped farmers from other territories by reducing agricultural taxes, encouraging land reclamation and promoting water conservancy projects.

The common land tax in the kingdom is 40%, and considering the corruption of the lower-level tax officials, it is a common phenomenon that the self-cultivator can only keep half of the harvest. If it is a tenant farmer who rents land, life is even more difficult.

However, in Hunterland, Richard enforced 20% of the land tax, and completely abolished all the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes.

This is naturally a good thing for the civilians in the territory. In recent years, the residents of Hunter Territory have become wealthy with the naked eye, and almost every household has a few stones of grain.

However, the good governance of Hunter's land is not a good thing for other families' territories, and it has little impact in the distance, but the Weirland, which is adjacent to the Hunter's family, has suffered a lot.

Originally, the miserable people in the two territories were equally poor, so everyone had no idea, but suddenly one day, the poor ghost next door started to get richer, and the mentality was different.

As a result, many self-cultivators in Will's Land simply gave up their land and ran to Hunter's Land for reclamation, and even many of the Will's tenant farmers began to flee. The Will family hated this with itchiness.

"No, there is enough food."

One stone of grain is roughly equivalent to 125 catties of grain, and more than 10,000 stone of grain is enough for Tiemucheng for more than a year. There is no need to break their own rules and collect grain again.

Of course, Richard is not a virgin. He just tries to maintain the rule of levying the land tax once a year. If it is really necessary, the levy must still be levied.

"Next, I'm going to expand the Ironwood Guard to 500 people. Uncle Iger will cooperate with the distribution and placement of equipment."

"Yes"

Iger didn't ask too much about the reason. Loyalty and doing his own thing well is his greatest advantage.

"It's nothing, I'll leave first."

"Um"

After Iger left, Richard met with several people and arranged some things. Finally, a man dressed as a civilian came to Richard.

"Brother Keren, how has Yusidu been developing recently?"

"According to Master Richard's arrangement, most of the circuses performing in the Northland and some larger restaurants and taverns have arranged our staff, and we are also actively placing spies in the large caravans."

"Now we have more than 30 core personnel, and there are nearly 200 spies in the periphery."

"Okay, it's hard work, Brother Kelun. It's a hard job, not as beautiful as the city guards."

Although the name "Rainbow City" is delicate, it pinned Richard's high hopes on this start-up intelligence department.

"It's like rain and silk, and it's pervasive."

"It's my honor to work for the young master."

Keren is an orphan in Hunter's Land, and was adopted by the Hunter family when Richard was young.

The territory of the Hunter family has only been managed by Richard like an iron barrel in recent years. The former Hunter Territory was often haunted by snow thieves. They attacked caravans and looted villages. Coron was lost in the attack of snow thieves. parents.

As an orphan who was adopted from a young age, Keren was also nurtured by the Hunter family from a young age, and also had experience in martial arts with Richard.

Because of his introverted and careful character, he was chosen by Richard as the head of the intelligence department.

"Inadvertently disclosed the news of the discovery of iron ore at the bottom of the northern valley to the Will family."

…

"Yes"

Just do it, don't ask why, it has always been the style of Richard's subordinates.

When Richard communicated with them in a negotiating tone, they could speak freely, and when Richard arranged tasks in a commanding tone, they always had only one answer - "Yes"

The North Valley is in the ironwood forest north of Hunter Territory. Some hunters accidentally discovered the existence of iron ore while chasing their prey. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

After hearing the news, Richard did not rush to develop, but chose to suppress the news and continued to buy iron materials at high prices. At that time, the Hunter family was not ready for a full-scale war with the Will family.

Now this news will be the last straw for the Will family.

…

After Keren left, Richard in the chamber was once again in a tangle.

"Excuse me, do you want to place a human base camp?"

This prompt began to appear as soon as he arrived at Ironwood, but when he left Ironwood, there was no response. After several experiments, Richard came to a conclusion:

The base camp must be placed on the basis of the existing castle, and it cannot be arbitrarily carried out in the wild like receiving troops rewards.

But from the bottom of his heart, Li Cha does not want this golden finger to be exposed to the world. The water in this world is not deep, and Li Cha's psychology is not yet bottomed out. After so many years of tossing, he has never been able to jump out of the large area of ​​the North.

The Hunter family is nothing but a small aristocrat who has just made a fortune. In the eyes of a real big aristocrat, they are just a few lucky upstarts.

If it was just some soldiers who appeared suddenly, it would not be difficult to hide them as long as they were not seen by those interested in seeing them appear out of thin air.

But in this city, such a conspicuous building is directly released. Under the eyes of the public, even if Li Cha is covering the sky in this Ironwood City, it is inevitable that someone will spread the news.

However, the temptation of a human castle is too great. The 4th-tier soldiers of the Crusaders are at the level of knights, and the knights and angels behind them are not walking sideways.

Li Cha raised and raised his hand, and finally put it down again.

"Wait, don't take risks, there will be better choices soon."

The last muttering seemed to be trying to convince himself.
