Chapter 305: Choice (Part 1)

After Chinese food. Conference room

A rectangular solid wood square table is placed in the center.

Romon was the first place, with five chairs placed on each side. What is most noticeable on the long table is the mud plate, not the map.

Of course, there are still wall cabinets that preserve book volumes and documents.

The stone fireplace was burning with flames, emitting heat, and a stack of firewood was placed underneath.

In the conference room, Nick, Lulun, and a scholar from the city.

Romon looked at the opposite side. The old man was thin, with white hair and beard, but strong in spirit. He saluted slightly: "Mr. Derbylin."

Almost at the same time, the old man also looked at Romon and did not dare to neglect: "Master Baron, the investigation and results of the territory have come out."

There is no god of architecture on the continent.

Because architecture requires knowledge, it is mostly under the jurisdiction of the church of Phillin, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. This Derbylin is a famous scholar. Although he basically does not possess divine skills, he is also an important figure in the church.

"Please sit down, Mr. Derbylin, please explain the construction plan and outline you and the group." Romon said politely.

Finding experts to discuss and build is a habit developed in the 21st century. When he arrived in this world, he also thought of professional church personnel at the first time, rather than building it himself - it doesn't matter if he built one or several of them himself, but overall it requires experts to complete it.

"According to our investigation, your territory can build thirty-one villages, not small mining villages, forest homes, Panshi Town, and long-distance ports, and it does not destroy the forest distribution and lakes in the territory."

Natural requirements are special requirements of Romon.

On the sand table, dots are marked one by one, and most of the surroundings are fertile fields that can be reclaimed.

"How many people are needed?" Romon swept over and was quite satisfied with the plan.

"To have 10,000 people, you can partially migrate the population of the small mine village and forest home, but there is still a gap of 8,000."

With 150 square kilometers, thirty-one villages are not dense. After all, there are only about a hundred households in a village, and thirty-one households are 3,100 households, and there are more than 10,000 people in total.

"Barl Galle, I have moved the population to the city before, it is said to be about 4,000. I should be able to get this part of the population back, right?" Romon asked.

"Yes, but most of them are women and children, and they cannot survive independently. However, a three-wife order has been issued. Adults can marry two to three women at the same time, so that they can survive and the next generation will be normal." said the Derbylin scholar: "Therefore, the village can now maintain about thirty households. This is the smallest unit that can reproduce and develop according to calculations. Once it is smaller than this number, the village will degenerate."

The Three Wife Order is for survival. A large number of women in this world, if there is no man, they will not survive, especially in the ruins after the magic disaster, let alone for the reproduction of the population.

"If thirty families in a village have two or three wives, how many population gaps will there be?" Romon replied with concern.

"This is almost done. Although there are still some population defects, they can be compensated. However, many villages will lack a large number of necessary shops for life within ten years, because there is no population and market. In addition, within ten years, the territorial income will be sharply reduced to about 30% of the normal situation."

"It doesn't matter. Except for Panshi Town, I plan to build two more towns and build a series of grocery stores, cloth shops, barbershops, hotels, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, shoemakers, butchers, bakers, and carpenters." Romon said: "In this way, by controlling the surface, the needs of nearby villages in this regard can be met. As for the bow and archery workshops, weapons workshops, and horse farms, they will be built."

"Sir Baron, if this is the case, it will take about a thousand people." Derbil listened carefully and reminded without hesitation: "And it is still a male population."

"Lu Lun, tell me the situation!"

"Yes, sir, I have already gone to the city. The specific situation has not been summarized yet, but generally, I can obtain about one hundred households and about three hundred men in it. If I set up a family, it is equivalent to two hundred new households." Lu Lun said.

"I can solve the other populations," Romon added.

"Where is the grain?" Derbil asked seriously.

"The grain in the small mining village and the Forest House can be guaranteed. I have transported a batch and stocked up a batch of grain. The entire territory will be sown in spring next year. If spring wheat is planted, harvesting should not be a problem by August." Romon said with confidence.

"Since that's the case, it's simple. You can draw 1,000 men in your entire territory and carry out the construction of thirty-one villages. Viscount Rem, recruited 700 male laborers, and completed a castle construction in just 3 days. Your village should be built before the spring sowing in April." Derbil said: "Of course, the premise is that the same wall as the small mining village cannot be built, just ordinary fences and wooden houses."

"This is enough." Romon was not prepared to follow each village towards the small mine village or Panshi Town.

Generally speaking, the place is mainly made of brick and wood structures, while wooden fences are used as defense.

Derbylin nodded: "Since that's the case, Lord Baron, then we will come with the final plan on the third day of the New Year. Our initial offer is 3,000 gold coins."

3,000 gold coins are to guide construction and solve many aspects, especially material issues.

Romon half-squinted his eyes, nodded, and said, "No problem. When you come, I will pay half of it first, and the other half will be paid when you guide you to complete it."

Derbylin couldn't help but feel moved. The baron was really rich and willing to spend money. He shrugged: "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye."

"By the way, there is one more thing!" Derbylin slapped his forehead, smiled, and said, "Vissue Eagle Edel in the city, entrusted me to bring a document."

As he said that, he took out two copies of the request and one official document from the package.

Please post it and write the content of the invitation in a decorative form.

On the back of the invitation is painted with a noble herald, which is the seal of the Viscount.

When Romon took out the official document, his face turned a little strange.

At this time, Nick put the wood in the fireplace, and the fire suddenly rose in the furnace, creating a heat wave that filled the room, keeping the temperature warm.

He got up and saw Romon's expression, and he stepped forward: "What's the matter?"

Romon gave him the invitation and official documents. As soon as Nick read it, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"By the way, it's already this time. I'm going to go back to the city this year... Lord Baron, if there is no other order, I'll leave first."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Romon gave away thirty gold coins on the spot, and the man accepted it without hesitation.

"I didn't expect that this matter would really be revealed!" After he left, Nick said: "The decree of the three wives, two places to choose for you - aren't that two lords and corresponding territory?"

"Yes, two lords and corresponding territory." Lulun said, looking at Romon.

"Forget it, let's talk about this tomorrow. I'll make the bell banquet this year first!" Romon waved his hand and said.

At noon, when the bell said this, Romon's head buzzed, and he could not hear anything others said.

It's hard to describe what it feels like to be a father.

I remember I issued an order to hold a banquet in the evening. Although there was a serious matter in the afternoon, now that the meeting has been completed, let’s talk about the two selected places tomorrow!

Lu Lun and Nick were a little dissatisfied, but they both refused to say anything, and the three of them left.

Outside, the bell was still there, and Nick's mother, Mrs. Clin, had probably been jealous for a long time. When she saw Nick come out, she scolded her son in front of Romon: "Nick, look at Lord Lord, you even have to have it, and look at you... nothing!"

Nick's face turned red as he spoke.

At this time, the bell wanted to stand up, but Romon gently pressed it down.

"You are pregnant now, don't sit together, move slowly, do you know?" Romon said softly with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing Romon's performance, Lingling's inner worries went away most of the time.

At least, she doesn't have to worry about Romon not wanting this child, but her status is low. Will giving birth to this child have any bad impact on the child's future?

Even if you have the concept of superiority and inferiority, you will have some thoughts for your children, and the bell is silent.

Lingdang is a kind-hearted girl. She has been from a poor family since childhood. For the sake of life, for her parents and younger brothers and sisters, she had to sell herself out and become a maid of Romon.

Afterwards, she became Romon's woman, and her feelings for Romon were actually cultivated in bits and pieces.

At first, she just admired and aweed the young nobleman.

Gradually, through constant contact, she really fell in love with Romon, but now, she is struggling inside, and she doesn't know what her future fate will be.

The nobles in this world have no concubines and only allow one wife, and she is a maid with no legal status. However, she also heard that now, within three years, she can marry three wives, if Romon can...

For the sake of the child, her mind suddenly became active. While she was thinking about it, her hands suddenly fell on her little hands. The bell raised her head and saw a pair of eyes looking at her.

"Belly, don't think too much!" Romon gave her a comforting smile. No matter what, since he had a child, he would naturally arrange this matter.

After hearing this, Lingling's heart immediately calmed down and nodded, as gentle as a little sheep.

"Mrs. Clin, Nick, please inform the Knights. I said that I would hold a small banquet in the evening to celebrate this happy event! Let them all come!"

"Did you call all the newly promoted officials here to come and have fun together?" Nick said at this time.

Romon thought for a while, "Okay! Just watch it! Everyone who can call the names on the territory will also call!"

There is another saying that Romon didn't say, that is, because of the appearance of this child, he finally had a sense of belonging, a sense of belonging to this world!

"Okay, I'll do it now!" Although I have always been steady, this time, Romon and Nick are friends who grew up together, and good friends are going to be fathers. Nick is naturally happy when he hears this!

Seeing that Romon actually held a banquet to celebrate her pregnancy, the bell's eyes suddenly became a little wet. She never knew that Romon actually valued her and her children so much.

"Sir..." After saying a word, the tears of the bell came down.

Although it was just a private banquet, the knights from the territory came and they didn't call back from far away, so they were much more relaxed when they prepared.

Fafer came immediately.

"My God, Romon is going to be a father!" Fafer immediately looked for Nick and expressed his surprise.

But at this moment, Lu Lun was thinking.

No matter what, even if you are a three-wife, it is not appropriate to marry a bell.

Marriage is the adhesive that forms a core family.

For the nobles, marriage is basically not something that can be decided by themselves, but rather it takes into account land, titles, and relationships.

Of course, professionals like Elini who have reached level 5 or above have strong autonomy.

Compared with the nobles, on the contrary, the nobles said, "Only the lower free people will choose their own wives", which to a certain extent reflects the freedom characteristics of marriages in rural areas, especially those of free people.

Free people can fall in love freely and even arrange their own weddings. Extramarital sexual relations are quite prominent. Many young people have had sex before marriage, and even have many illegitimate children. What’s interesting is that a girl who gets married with a few children is very popular because children mean labor. Of course, these children do not have the right to inherit, but are actually free labor.

Of course, this is far from it. For the scholar Lulun, he deeply understood that Lomon is now just a nouveau riche in the aristocratic class.
