Chapter 89 Territory(1/2)

The reward ceremony started in the morning and ended at night.

This is not the end. The castle prepared a sumptuous dinner for the newly-received nobles and squire, and there was a dance party after the dinner.

At the dance, Ander was an outstanding appearance and a genuine lord of territory. The best thing is that he has not yet suffered from the family. He is undoubtedly a rich son-in-law, which attracted some women to take the initiative to invite him to dance.

Ender had received some training in aristocratic etiquette, but it was limited to walking, sitting and standing, plus some table etiquette - Mrs. Perth had not had time to teach Ender the dance lesson.

So Ender could only smile and reject the kindness of all ladies - to say another thing, the women in northern China are quite strong, and several ladies said, "It doesn't matter if you can't dance, I can take you to dance."

However, at this moment, Ender was stirred up by the words of the four old lords in the afternoon.

As a time traveler who travels to the fantasy world, you naturally have to hold it in your hands when you don’t have the strength. How can you not go out and make a wave after you have the strength?

——The world is so big, I want to go and see it!

As a college student trained by the Celestial Empire, even after traveling through five or six years, Ande's integrity was still a little left.

When preparing for a long journey, accept the kindness of these women. If they don’t go back, wouldn’t that betray someone else?

(Okay, actually, it’s just that the limelight was too tight during this period, and the fat man was really frightened. The original plot developed here, and Ende should have a lover and a candidate lover, but now - everyone understands it.)

When the dance came to an end, Ander, Telligan and others bid farewell to the nobles, and the four of them returned to Leicester town in the same carriage.

"Little Ander, you don't like so many ladies and ladies?" Lerira joked to Ander.

"Auntie Lairella, I don't want to marry a wife so early." Ander shook his head: "When the territory matters stabilize, I want to go to Karanguan to see what a big city looks like."

Hearing Ender's thoughts, Larira and the other two looked at each other, and Ender was preparing to travel, which broke their plan.

However, Tligan hesitated for a moment and said, "Little Ander, you should go out and see it. Maybe you can see a different scenery-Karantor, the king's capital, should go and see it."

If we follow the perspective that is beneficial to the three, we naturally hope that Ander will stay in Leicester.

However, young people's yearning for the world cannot be stopped, and with Ende's ability, they may gain more from going out and exploring.

"The three of us, including Lake and Ait, met in Karanyuan. Alas, they are not lucky." Corey's voice fell.

Lake and Ait are their teammates, and the two adventurers who were killed by the bear goblins at the beginning of the book. It was their death that made Tilligan decide not to do the adventurer business.

"Karan is a big, bustling city, but there-" Lairella stopped halfway through her speech, and she recalled the past and was in a low mood.

"Dear, it's all over. We are nobles now." Seeing his wife sad, Corey gently took her into her arms and comforted her.

"Yes." Lerira leaned against Corey and nodded slightly.

Ande was interested in asking them what happened in Karanguan back then, but seeing that the three of them were not in high spirits, it was probably not a pleasant memory, so Ande knew that he didn't reveal the scar.

The carriage was silent, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts.

Leicester Castle is not far from Leicester Town. Although the carriage is not fast, it will not take too long.

When the carriage was parked at the door of the Reult Hotel, before Ander got off, Telligan reminded: "Three days later, at 9 a.m., we will gather outside the south gate of the town, don't forget to bring enough food."

——————————————

Lord Ander Tilles.

The burning embers were blown away by the wind, and the ground was pitch black, with only some carbonized shrubs standing tenaciously on the ground.

The workers responsible for planning the land have marked the digging of the canal on the ground according to Ander's drawings.

There is less rainfall in the north, so irrigation is very important. If there are no canals, people will rely on people to fetch water by the stream for each irrigation, which will affect the area where a person can farm.

Although digging a canal also costs money, it saves a lot of effort to manage the fields in the future.

The Northland does not lack wasteland for reclaiming, but the manpower for reclaiming and the power to protect the fields from being robbed.

There are only so many people who have cultivated, and Ande has no choice.

Ander had already found a flaw and got forty-five households. If the people from Mir Village had not committed the crime of insulting the lord, how could they be willing to be the lord for Ander? The territory that started from scratch would certainly not be as good as the ready-made village.

But Ender was somewhat sure of protecting the fruits of labor from being robbed - he was famous, so how could any thief dare to rob his territory of Ander Tilles?

In addition to the canal and field planning, the construction of Ande Manor is also underway.

For ordinary people, building a decent wooden house is difficult and requires more than a generation of efforts.

Most people live in garbage houses like shacks.

But according to Ender's plan, the consuls in the manor will not be allowed to build houses privately.

The house will be planned in a unified manner and there is no need to pay for the people to build it themselves. Of course, the owners of the house are also owned by the Lord, and they are just loaned to the people to live there. At the cost, the people must do some extra work in accordance with the Lord's regulations - such as furniture manufacturing.

The house drawings left by Ender are very simple.

Two rows of long strips of houses with a length of 80 meters and a width of ten meters are built on both sides of the main road in the manor planning.

In the middle of this long house, the house is separated by plywood wooden walls specialized in the Ender Territory to transform them into separate houses.

When necessary, these walls can also be disassembled and moved as needed to make the room bigger or smaller.

Each separate house has doors on both sides of the front and rear, and you can reach the main road from the front door and exit from the back door. It is the simple factory in Ender's plan.

As for plywood, it is a product that goes beyond the limit.

At that time, Ender asked his apprentices to test the use of rosin. He originally wanted to develop something similar to rubber, but unfortunately he failed.

However, since you find that this rosin is quite sticky, you should use it.

After Ender asked the apprentices to dilute the rosin into slurry, mix it with wood chips and seal it with wooden strips on the outside. The broken wood can be put into a whole wooden board. This is the plywood process on the earth, and it uses pure natural adhesives and will not emit any harmful gases.

The only disadvantage of this rosin binder is that it is not resistant to high temperatures. If baked on fire, the rosin will melt before the wood is burned.

But even so, these plywoods helped Ender a lot.

Due to the lack of large pieces of solid wood, the planned four-row houses are now only built in one row, and they are just a skeleton. However, a lot of simple furniture have been made of this kind of plywood.

Others have to use cutting out tenons and splicing solid wood. It takes a long time for a skilled carpenter to make a box. When you go to Ender, you can splice one with plywood, which is naturally a hundred times faster.

The disadvantage of this kind of furniture is that it is not strong, far less than solid wood furniture, and it cannot be used to make furniture that requires load-bearing such as stools.

But for the leaders, this is the furniture that the lord has configured for himself for free, and it is the kindness of the lord, which is already a grateful treatment for them.

These entourages who were expelled from Leicester have thus stabilized and are now devoted to the construction of the territory, which is more active than the workers they have invited.

In addition, the road to the forest is also being developed and expanded.

There is some inventory wood in Wall Village that can be used for early construction, but it is absolutely insufficient to build the entire estate.

This is not as small as the last time I expanded the Hunter's Hunter's Lodge. There is too much wood required, so I had to open a special road.

Originally, there was a stream flowing out of the forest on this side of Ande territory, but unfortunately the stream was rugged and was not suitable for transporting wood as a waterway.

If the cut wood is thrown into the water, it will be stuck in the middle of the stone and cannot go down the water.

——————————————

The busy and orderly scene in the territory made Ande who was patrolling around very satisfied. He was used to seeing the scene of construction sites all over the city in the era of great development of the Celestial Empire. Ande was very kind to this large-scale construction scene.

Along the way, whenever the leaders of Ande saw him cheered loudly, which made Ande feel quite satisfied.

After patrolling the territory with Emiliya, Ander returned to the yard where the Hunter's Hunter's Lodge was and asked Emiliya: "How many weapons and armor are there?"

Some time ago, Ander asked Amilia to sell the unused weapons and armor to merchants for money.

"Most of them have been sold, and there are twenty-five swords, twenty-one pairs of leather armor and two pairs of mail have not been sold." Amilia flipped through the account book and said.

Because of the need for armor breaking and manufacturing costs, swords are more difficult than swords. And Ender chose a sword himself, so he specifically ordered swords above good grades not to be sold.

As for armor, it has always been a rare thing than weapons, and most people can't buy it even if they want to.

"Is there any shield?"

"There are many shields, and there are ten dollars." Amilia said.

"Where are bows and arrows?"

"There are no bows sold, there are five in total, they are all top quality products. I don't know the specific number of arrows, but there shouldn't be many. There are two heavy crossbows and ten light crossbows, and there are not many crossbow arrows that each has to use."

These crossbows were all from the Lint thieves.

Linte, the leader of the Linte thief regiment, is a level 6 warrior and elite archer. The bows and arrows he uses are naturally top-grade weapons. Among the men he recruits, there are also several good archers who use bows and arrows. Most of these people died at the hands of Ander, so there are quite a lot of top-grade crossbows in the middle of the trophy.

However, when you go out, the number of bows and crossbows is always limited. In addition, in the battle with Ender, a large part of these bows and crossbows were used up by the Lint thieves, so Ender did not capture many arrows.

And there were no one under Ander who could make qualified arrows except himself. Ander himself was busy and didn't think about making arrows.

"That's enough. Amilia, go and ask someone to gather ten leaders with combat experience, and I'm going to take them out for business. By the way, do we have a carriage?" Ender asked.

In addition to making territory construction plans and some architectural drawings, he was basically a hand-off manager.

"There are five carriages used to pull wood, but there are not one carriages that match your identity as jazz." Emilia shook her head.

The young lord was terrible with the low requirements for his quality of life - having food, drinking, taking a bath, and having a quiet place to practice martial arts. He was very satisfied.

In fact, if it weren't for everyone to need the lord to live in the best room, the teenage lord wouldn't even mind living in the hall and sleeping on the bench.

Emilya once proposed to customize a carriage that matches the identity of Lord Ander, but the young lord refused on the grounds that it would take money to build a manor and should not spend money in such a place now.

Not only that, the owner of the manor house, which should have been the most preferred one, has not started construction yet, but the residences of the people have built up all the skeletons, and there is no need to pay for the people - which lord in this world would do this?

However, when I saw the leader cheering at Ander just now, Amilia felt that this might not make sense.

"Get a carriage for transporting wood for me, and prepare eleven people for ten days to eat on it." Ender ordered.
