Act 34 Expansion(15)
The silver mine in Schavlund comes from the rich silver reserves under the Grahar Mountains. This vein extends from the Kalanga Mountains to the territory of Tonigel. It is actually only a very small part of the Black Forest, but it is enough to make the Lu Yin benefited immensely.
In fact, the real silver mining area is in Tobadramburg on the south bank of Green Lake east of Grahar Mountain. As for the silver mine in Schavlund, it is just a little light at the end of this vein.
Tonigel's backcountry reputation is not deserved -
"Antitina, tell me about Shaflund's situation." Brando asked.
The noble daughter's dark eyes lit up slightly. Is the lord going to take action on the silver mine? She immediately replied: "Lord, Shafrund has always been one of the most important sources of income in the Tonigel region; as early as the Year of the Cave Beast, the previous lord built a fortress here for mining and transportation. Silver, but then slowly formed the town of Schafflund today.”
"The Year of the Cave Beast," Brando calculated in his mind: "That was almost thirty years ago?"
Antitina nodded: "Now the top executive of this mining town consists of an executive deputy and a clerk, but in fact I found that these two people are not responsible to Grudin, but to Jean Denel. The earl appoints and dismisses directly. Therefore, although this silver mine produces nearly fifteen tons of silver every year, our Lord Baron does not really get much."
"Grudin is such a coward as a lord," Brando thought to himself, and couldn't help but sympathize with this poor guy. He smiled slightly: "So, you want me to touch Count Jeandenelle's cheese, Antitina."
The girl also smiled: "Hasn't it already been touched, Lord Lord?"
Brando turned around and saw Juta's eyes looking this way; he keenly noticed that although the female mercenary leader still maintained the necessary reserve on her face, there was a trace of anxiety in her green eyes.
Seeing that Fern and Kerenthia, who were born together with him, have been appointed, Yuta does not want his people to get no benefit from this group, or even be betrayed in the end. Although this young lord seems quite friendly, she has dealt with nobles of all sizes, and she maintains the necessary disdain and suspicion towards these guys - even if it is just a little bit, does she know this? How despicable people can be.
Jutta requested in a slightly hoarse voice: "Lord, please let me occupy Schafrund! I know the situation there. The mine only has more than a hundred soldiers stationed on weekdays." She pressed her chest with her hand. , "It's more than enough for me and my people to occupy this place."
But Brando said: "But the town of Shafrund is too close to Pallas.
I'm afraid our other Sir Sir is looking at him with eager eyes. Even if we attack him, we won't be able to control him for a while. "
The female mercenary leader was silent.
"Can't you think of a way from this aspect? Can't the cavemen use it?" Antitina asked: "Still can't trust them?"
It’s not enough to believe it, Brando thought. He took the oath that Tajib swore to the gods, and those cavemen did not dare to openly violate this oath.
But the occupation of Schavlund was for mining, and no one could stand it if Pallas harassed them from time to time.
"How big is the food gap?" he asked.
"There are still 17,000 bushels left." The noble girl answered in one breath.
Most of the Amber Sword uses imperial units, which are also used in this world. This makes Brando feel extremely uncomfortable. However, in terms of grain, one bushel is equal to twenty-seven kilograms. He roughly converted it and found that grain The gap is close to half a million kilograms, which is not a small amount.
"Including our people, based on the food stored in Fir City, how long can the territory be sustained?"
Antitina frowned slightly: "Lord, if we just calculate from the data, it can last for two months. But considering that there are still some grains in the territory that have not been counted, it will not exceed three months at the latest. "
"That means there is a gap of nearly two months?"
The girl nodded.
Brando thought for a moment, "That doesn't matter. First, recruit soldiers from the people of the territory as usual. If Beru wants land, people, and money, you can give it to him. The same goes for Juta and Fern - but the devil The Dao Workshop needs to take a moment first.”
Antitina nodded again, but she just mentioned that after all, Tonigel did not produce rough amber stones.
"Roman's plan must also be put behind." Brando said again.
Roman's voice came from the hall behind, "Of course, Brando, there's no point in doing that now." It sounded like the business lady was not frustrated by this.
"In addition, we must at least ensure that the next battle can be fought. As for how much budget to set aside, it is up to you to decide. Of course, you understand that the only requirement is that we do not end up being driven into the black forest."
His words made several girls present couldn't help but smile.
But Antitina was rubbing her forehead. To be honest, she really wanted to be driven into the black forest now. Of course, this was just a thought, "Sir, what can you do?" She raised her head and was keenly aware of Brando's intentions.
"Of course it's still a silver mine," Brando smiled: "With such a big piece of cheese next to us, we have no reason to move, right?"
"But--?"
But Medissa had already thought of something, "You mean, another way, Lord?" The silver elf princess raised her head, a hint of understanding flashed in her silver eyes, and her brows were raised slightly.
Brando looked at her with admiration: "Yes, you and Qian will go with me in person, and we will meet Earl Denel's men." He turned back to Jutta and said: "Miss Jutta, You come too—"
Yuta was startled, but she immediately reacted and raised her head: "Do you want to bring someone with you?"
"Of course, but it doesn't need to be too many," Brando thought for a moment: "Twenty or thirty people are enough."
The female mercenary leader nodded silently - but then she felt a little strange. The other party was obviously much smaller than her, but her words always made her feel shorter. This was not just a matter of status. ——This young lord seems to have a special temperament that allows him to maintain a natural advantage over anyone.
She was a little unsure, but subconsciously thought that this young man might be the same even if he met His Majesty the King. Although this idea was a bit absurd, Yuta subconsciously told himself that it was right.
But these are not important, Brando's appointment finally made her breathe a sigh of relief. The female mercenary leader took action immediately, said goodbye to Brando and went to gather people.
Antitina watched the woman leave, "Do I want to go too?" The wealthy lady turned her head and asked. She was obviously reluctant. After all, she finally settled down. She didn't like running around. people.
"You stay." Brando saw her reluctance and replied, "By the way, help me put together a plan."
"what's the plan?"
"Plan for Redevelopment of Fir City."
"Ah?" The girl's eyes widened.
Brando had known that she would be surprised, but this was one of his original plans. In his plan, the tragedy of history will not be allowed to repeat itself, but if Her Royal Highness Princess Griffith does not marry Duke Anlek, then the royal army will inevitably face defeat in the rewritten history - at that time, several people in the north The combined forces of the Duke and the Prince will sweep down.
Brando hopes that by then, the newly built Fir City will be enough to become the final fortress that can block this terrible front. It will preserve Eruin's last territory south of the Fir Barony - especially Valhalla, which is his hope for a comeback in the future.
In addition to this reason, the geographical location of Fir City itself is also very advantageous. It is close to the sea to the west and is connected to the Schaflund Silver Mine to the east. In the future, it will become the central area connecting Tonigel and 'Valhalla'. , the geographical importance is self-evident.
However, also because of the existence of Valhalla, Fir City is not an ideal capital. In Brando's plan, Eruin's future capital must be Valhalla. But as the hub of Valhalla's outward communication and the last solid barrier, it is more than enough.
The Fir City in Brando's mind must eventually be built into a fortress, but it won't work here, and another site will have to be chosen.
At that time, he had ordered Tajib and his cavemen to go north to find a suitable location for building a fortress. The ideal location must not only be large enough to accommodate the future giant fortress, but also must be easy to defend. Just attack.
To the north of the Goss River was a large area of hills, and Brando thought it wouldn't be a problem to find a suitable place among them with the caveman's ability. These underground visitors are not good at attacking cities, but this does not prevent them from becoming the best city builders underground in Jorgendigang.
He retracted his thoughts, saw Antitina's confused eyes, and replied: "Don't be so surprised, this matter will not happen overnight. We have one to two years, this is just to make a long-term plan first. "
Building a fortress in one or two years sounds a bit unbelievable in the real world. But it's not a fantasy in Warnd. With the help of magic, some things are easier than imagined.
Of course, it is difficult to build a complete city in one or two years, but if it is just taking shape, it is more than enough.
"What should I do?" Antitina took a breath after hearing the news. Building a city is no small matter. There were so many things involved in all aspects, and for the first time, she had doubts about whether she could do it well.
"It doesn't matter, you can observe more about Fir City, and think back to what you saw in Prague. See what the predecessors did, and then think about what we need."
The new Fir City will be a fortress, Brando emphasized this point, and then he continued: "In addition, Charles should be able to help you. Although he is a wizard, most wizards come out of a pile of books. Guys, simple engineering knowledge should not be able to trouble these people——"
