Chapter 500 Narant's Gift (Two in One)
"big Stone!"
"Sir, my subordinate is here!"
Meimei took a hot bath, and the fatigue from the journey was gone.
Narante plunged into his study and did not come out until lunch.
After lunch, he immediately called his personal guards.
During this autumn campaign, the Guards seemed to have nothing to shine.
However, this is because Quick and the Storm Team have become too dazzling after becoming the title knights, overshadowing their achievements.
Speaking of which, a group of barbarians, whether they were personal guards or ordinary guards, also played a big role in this Autumn March. They could handle three ordinary guards one by one, such as during the Battle of Stone Bridge.
"Big Shitou, my lord, I have a task for you. Because the territory has added too many new people, the territory is now short of food. My lord is going to let you go to the beach to hunt whales on the Rainbow to obtain food for the territory!"
"Yes, sir! I will definitely complete your instructions!" Dashiru didn't hesitate at all.
Although the last whale hunting scene still left him with lingering fears, after all, the whale's body was so huge that it would be very dangerous to be photographed by him accidentally.
But now this is their master's order, and they will obey it unconditionally.
Especially on the battlefield of the Autumn Expedition, they saw the Lord personally diverting tens of thousands of enemy troops to protect them. Such an action was enough to move all the barbarians and swear allegiance to the Lord to the death!
"Very good, I will talk to Quik later and ask him to assign another twenty barbarian guards to act with you."
"By the way, Big Stone, you have to remember, don't choose the largest whale to hunt in the future. It's too dangerous. Just choose a medium one. There are no special requirements for adults. The safety of you people is more important. !”
"Yes, sir!" Da Shitou immediately showed gratitude.
"Well, come with me to Maiye Village now. After the rewards of this Autumn March are announced, you can start taking action!"
After saying that, Nalant stood up and left the inner fort, and then summoned a group of subordinates to rush to Maiye Village.
When he came to Maiye Village again after two months, he didn't even recognize this village that belonged to him.
In addition to the rows of brand-new manor buildings on the square in the distance, even the streets of Maiye Village are now extremely lively.
The streets were full of caravans and vendors selling souvenirs.
"Wow! Sir, why is Maiye Village so lively?"
"Yes! Sir, we have lived here for so many years, but we have never seen such a lively Maiye Village!"
Several lucky girls also widened their eyes and looked at the prosperous scene in the town.
"Perhaps Maiye Village should no longer be called a village in the future, but can be officially renamed Maiye Town." Nalan was also very pleased that his territory had become so prosperous.
This gave him an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. Isn't this the joy of running a territory?
This is something he could never experience in his previous life, even in the game.
"Mai Ye Town? Okay, sir, then we will have a small town in the Storm Territory! This is really great, sir, you are so powerful!" The little girl Shirley immediately jumped up.
"My lord is mighty!" Several other lucky girls and subordinates also expressed joy.
The more prosperous the Storm Territory becomes, the happier they will naturally be.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Nalant didn't stop and led everyone into the village.
At this moment, all the houses on both sides of the streets in Maiye Village are already resting, and those who are working hard on nailing boards or building thatch must be the new serfs who have just been captured.
The fact that Maiye Village is so prosperous now has something to do with their existence.
Of course, it was not these captured serfs who were walking on the street at the moment. After all, even the food had to be paid for by Nalant, so it was impossible to let them eat and drink for free.
The people walking on these streets are either the original villagers in the town, or the caravan members who come to Stormland to do business.
Although Nalant had not arrived at the square yet, he could already see dozens of carriages parked outside the square manor. In addition to carriages, there were also wheelbarrows.
The carriage belongs to the aristocratic caravan, while the wheelbarrow belongs to the common people's caravan like Laurie Grocer.
"Ah! It's our lord! The lord is back!"
"I've seen the lord!" As Nalant continued to move forward, some serfs setting up stalls or walking by the roadside immediately exclaimed with wide eyes.
After reacting, they all knelt on the ground respectfully and then offered greetings.
They had not seen their lord for more than two months, so they were naturally excited when they saw him for the first time.
The reason for excitement is simple, that is, after the arrival of this lord, they finally lived a good life.
A year ago, how could they eat meat every now and then? Let alone meat, even if they could eat enough black bread every day, it was impossible.
Now, not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also occasionally buy oysters, dried fish and meat to eat.
As long as they work hard, they never have to worry about going hungry. Even the old clothes they have worn for several years have been replaced with brand new ones.
Of course, the more important thing is that they no longer have to worry about dark creatures harming them. The Lord just wants to protect their safety like a god.
Therefore, the serfs of Storm Territory have been concerned about whether their lord can return safely during this period, because they know that all this is because of their lord Nalante. If he is gone, their good days will definitely be gone immediately.
Now that everyone sees that their lord is safe and sound, many people even thank the gods in their hearts.
"Get up!" Nalante walked while waving to the serfs with a friendly smile.
The mental outlook of these people has changed greatly compared to when he first came. They are no longer numb and lifeless, but have a little hope and agility.
This means that these people are no longer the "walking corpses", but living people!
"My lord!"
At this time, Mario, who got the news, also hurried over.
"Well, Mario, take me to inspect the newly built small buildings!" Nalante called to him.
"Yes, my lord!"
Then, under the leadership of Mario, Nalante began to check the small buildings built later.
After confirming that the quality was correct and that the construction was strictly in accordance with his requirements, he finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Mario, these small buildings are well completed. All stonemasons will be rewarded with five silver coins each!"
"In addition, I plan to expand the scale of the renovation again in two months. At least hundreds of small buildings will be built, and Maiye Village and Lucky Village by the Sea will be started at the same time!" Nalante said his arrangements.
His goal is to make Maiye Village a 'modern town' where every family can live in a brick and stone building.
Of course, it will take several years to complete this plan, and now it needs to be done step by step.
Moreover, in order to encourage serfs to work hard, when distributing small buildings, it is natural to set up examples so that people with merit can live in the small buildings, rather than him, the lord, being a good guy, arranging them one by one.
With the dual effects of materials and a sense of honor, I believe that the people in the territory can thoroughly follow the footsteps of their lord and work hard to contribute to the development of the territory.
After checking the small building, Nalante went to the tavern and restaurant in front and took a look around. He found that there were many guests inside, most of whom were caravan members.
According to Mario, since his autumn expedition, the caravans coming to Storm Territory have hardly stopped. Basically, one or several caravans would come every two or three days.
Of course, among these caravans, civilian caravans are definitely the most numerous. After all, there are only a few dozen nobles in Tulip Territory, and it is impossible for them to come every day.
However, don't underestimate these civilian caravans. They are numerous. Even if each person only spends a dozen copper coins, it can accumulate into a lot.
The most important huge flow of people can drive the commercial development of Storm Territory. For example, his serfs now go to the forest to catch a hare in their spare time, or weave a hemp rope to sell to these caravans.
In this way, even some elderly people can earn food with their own hands and will not become a burden to their children.
...
After visiting the tavern, the inspection of Maiye Village was completed, and Nalante went directly to the high platform of the square to prepare for the celebration meeting. .
This is also what he must do after returning.
Although the Agate Principality suffered losses in this autumn expedition, he himself was truly triumphant.
Then, rewards for subordinates are also necessary. In this battle, all subordinates have done their best, and no one has retreated half a step when facing the enemy!
"I have seen all of your performances in this autumn expedition. You have proved your bravery and loyalty with your actions, and your triumph this time is also due to your contribution!"
"So, my lord, I am now preparing to hold a celebration meeting for this autumn expedition to reward your bravery!"
As Nalante's voice fell, the guards below immediately showed expectant eyes.
Nalante did not hesitate and took out a list directly from his arms.
This is the reward list he prepared in the study after taking a bath.
The first is naturally Quick and other storm knights, who have made the greatest contribution this time.
"Quick, Canny, Duke... the twenty-five of you have shown the bravery of knights in this autumn expedition. You have accompanied me to lead away the pursuers and penetrate deep into the enemy camp. You have made great contributions!"
"So, the reward you get this time is also the most generous. I have prepared a brand new small building for each of you, which is the one behind the manor!"
Wow!
"Ah! Those newly built small buildings behind the tavern are actually rewarded like this? Isn't this lord too generous?"
"Yes! That small building can be worth several gold coins. They are so lucky!"
"If I can live in such a beautiful small building, it would be fine even if I live in this doomed land!"
"Kerry, you are dreaming! Even if you are willing to join the Storm Territory, look at those knights. They are all titled knights. Can you compare with them?"
At this moment, there are naturally onlookers around, many of whom are members of the caravan.
When they heard the reward Narant gave to his subordinates, they immediately started to make noise. They had never seen such a generous lord before.
Similarly, they could not hide their envy of Quick and others, and wished they could step forward and take their place.
Quick and others, although they were already overjoyed, did not move at all, and still stood straight with their chests and heads held high.
Narant was even more satisfied with this, and immediately waved to Lilia, who then brought over the twenty-five parchment scrolls that Narant had prepared.
These parchment scrolls were the deeds of those houses, with the signature and seal of Lord Narant, so they would only need to write the house number of the small building, and then they would be the new home of the Storm Knights.
When Lilia came closer, Narant personally stepped down and handed the deeds to the Storm Knights one by one.
"Thank you for your gift!" Finally, the twenty-five Storm Knights held the deeds and thanked Narant with great excitement.
"Work hard!" Narant patted Quick's shoulder in front of him and encouraged the Storm Knights.
After the rewards for the Storm Knights were distributed, Narant returned to the platform.
Next came the rewards for the barbarians such as Raymond and Dashitou, as well as the rewards for the medical team and the long-range attack team.
However, their rewards were naturally not as generous as those of the Storm Team. After all, merits should be distinguished by size, otherwise it is easy to breed other problems.
In the end, captains such as Raymond and Dashitou were rewarded with a small manor building.
As for ordinary guards and medical team members, Nalante rewarded each of them with dozens of kilograms of fish, linen and other daily necessities, plus a reward of 20 silver coins per person.
In total, the value of this reward is not low, which immediately made the guards smile from ear to ear.
Finally, it was Rose and the driver and barbarians used as coolies. They also received a generous reward worth ten silver coins.
Of course, there were rewards for those who went to the autumn expedition, and Nalante would not forget those who stayed in the territory.
After all, without these people staying in the territory, he could not feel at ease to fight outside.
In the end, the people who stayed behind also received a reward of ten silver coins like the coolies!
In this way, all of Nalante's subordinates were satisfied and would not be jealous of others.
After all, it was clear how much credit he had paid, and his lord was very clear about rewards and punishments.
After all the rewards were distributed, Nalante looked at the villagers who were watching with envy in their eyes, and said to them with a smile: "Are you very envious of them? Especially the Storm Knight!"
The people below did not answer, but the eyes in their eyes had given the answer.
Nalante continued to smile and said: "My lord, I tell you, in fact, you don't have to be envious, because I will give you such an opportunity in the future!"
"Although I have just rewarded a lot of small buildings, there are still a small half left, and in two months, I will continue to build hundreds of such new small buildings!"
"Ah! Hundreds of small buildings are still to be built?" Suddenly, both the guards and the onlookers were shocked by Nalante's generosity!
Thanks to the book friends "Xiaoxiao Yuyu" and "Yang Kongxuan Zro" for their rewards! ! !
In addition, x-on:Bye, thank you. Boss, I really can't sing, so the author of your bounty really won't get it, boohoo...
