Chapter 291 Departure
When Ronin told Wiggins that Wubei Territory was short of population, the latter promised to gather 10,000 or 20,000 people and asked Kabir to transfer some from Brilliant City, but he did not mention the specific number at that time.
Ronin thought that 5,000 or 6,000 people would be very good, but he did not expect Kabir to gather 10,000 people for him, and he gathered them before Wiggins.
It can be seen that Kabir is still very concerned about his brother-in-law's affairs, and his attitude towards Ronin was not like this before.
The reason is that Ronin's current identity, status and strength have undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the past.
Before Ronin was deprived of his inheritance rights, Kabir's situation was a bit embarrassing.
After all, if Breton inherits the Marquis in the future, as the leader of the Wushan Castle Knights, he will be loyal to Breton.
There is actually no problem with this. The key is that the other party is McKinney's sister and Ronin's brother-in-law.
If the Hyde family has any ideas about him, then his situation will be as passive as Viscount Marvin in the Horse City.
The actual situation is indeed so. He and Barrington do not have a good relationship, and with the dispute over command this time, they dislike each other even more.
Now that Ronin has risen strongly and Rulans values him, Kabir's worries about the Hyde family have naturally decreased.
It is precisely because of this that he values Ronin's affairs and looks forward to Ronin's marriage with the Oduin family, so McKinney will specially send Irene away and tell Ronin.
Ronin is somewhat resistant to others interfering in his behavior, after all, his freedom is hindered.
However, he also knows that McKinney's warning is reasonable.
Although the previous life's various experiences were not glorious, he was not ready to marry the royal family at that time, so it was okay to be a little romantic.
Now the outside world can guess the marriage. Although Ronin and Irene are indeed nothing, if someone uses this to spread rumors and smear, it is really hard to defend.
No words all night.
The next morning, Ronin went to express his gratitude to Kabir and keep in touch with him.
Then he visited Wiggins and decided on the time to pick up the people.
Roning was going to transport all 25,000 of them back to Wubei Territory.
With these people, the construction of Wubei Territory, the reclamation of arable land, and the expansion of mulberry land can be greatly improved.
As for the mining of the Chishan Iron Mine, I believe that with the supplement of the population of the Giant Stone Territory, this should not be a problem.
After dealing with these things, Roning said goodbye to Rulans and left Wushan Castle with the latter's handwritten letter to His Majesty Bruno.
On the back mountain, Carlos was already waiting there. As a mount dragon, it was conscientious.
"Come on."
Roning stretched out his hand and prepared to pull Irene up.
Along the way, the other party remained silent, which was in sharp contrast to his lively personality in the past.
Irene hesitated for a while, and finally considered that she couldn't get up, so she stretched out her hand and was pulled onto the dragon's back.
It was just that when she came, she was excited, but when she went back, she was depressed and negative.
Once on the dragon's back, she was ready to distance herself from Ronin. It wasn't that his embrace wasn't warm enough, but that this behavior wasn't appropriate.
"If you move again, Carlos will be unhappy." Ronin joked with a smile, pulling the other into his arms.
Irene struggled for a while but couldn't break free, so she could only let him hold her like this.
"My Lord, this isn't good. If someone sees you, it will affect your reputation and make His Majesty the King hate you."
Ronin couldn't help but laugh, "Even the name has been changed. Did my sister McKinney tell you?"
"No, I happened to hear the nobles discussing it outside when I left the banquet hall yesterday."
No matter where you go, there are always people talking about others behind their backs.
He smiled and deliberately hugged the girl tighter: "You looked listless all the way. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Irene hummed. Not only did she not sleep well all night, she didn't sleep much.
"Thinking too much about some things will only add to your troubles. It's better to cherish the present and have a good sleep in my arms."
Erin turned her head to look at Ronin, and seemed to have mustered up the courage to ask: "Will the adults leave me?"
Ronin looked at the cherry lips close to her and the other party's expectant eyes, and couldn't help raising his hand to scratch the other party's nose: "No."
Such an intimate move made Erin's face red all the way to her ears, and she even closed her eyes and dared not open them.
Ronin couldn't help laughing: "Have a good sleep."
How could she dare to speak? She could only turn sideways and hide in Ronin's chest and pretend to fall asleep.
Ronin didn't know what kind of feeling was called love. He only knew that he was happier when he was with Erin, just like when he was playing snowballs in Shanlin Castle last winter, he even found the feeling of living on Earth.
As for the question of marriage and lover, as he said, thinking too much will only add to the troubles. After traveling through time, you should always live a relaxed and happy life.
Carlos spread his wings and glided smoothly in the sky, and soon returned to the Swamp Castle.
It has been nearly twenty days since the withdrawal. Except for Rydar, Joffrey and others who were left in Red Mountain Town, McKen, Rogner and others have returned to Wubei Territory.
In the fortress hall of the Swamp Castle, Ronin summoned Wilson, Chahar, McKen and others to inform them that he was promoted to the Earl of Wubei Territory and obtained two enclaves of Giant Stone Territory and Red Mountain Town.
This naturally attracted cheers and celebrations from the followers. From baron to earl, the higher the achievements of the lord they followed, the greater the benefits for their future.
Rogna and Kurami looked at each other and saw the sigh in each other's eyes.
Although Wubei Territory has not yet seen the first baron, they can feel that Viscount Marvin's decision to let them follow Ronin is a wise choice.
In addition to announcing this matter, Ronin also wanted to reward the knights and soldiers who followed him on the expedition.
His reward was naturally not a title.
Let's not talk about whether he is willing to be a titled land, just say that the merits of this battle, even Rydar is not enough to be a baron.
So Ronin's reward is to give money-each person will be given three times the monthly salary as a reward for this expedition.
Triple monthly salary as a bonus may not sound like much, but it is nearly 600 gold coins, which is not a small amount.
In addition, the followers also got some spoils on the battlefield, so it is not a loss overall.
"Next, I will go to the capital. Except for David and Tom, I will arrange tasks for the rest of the people."
David and Tom were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled excitedly.
The capital, a place they never dreamed of going to, now they actually have the opportunity to go there!
Others could not help but show envy, one is envy for such an opportunity, and the other is envy for the two people being valued by the lord.
Sometimes, status is not based on position, but on how far away from the center of power.
As long as David and Tom do not make too big mistakes and their strength is not low in the future, they will have good achievements.
Next, Luo Ning explained the main matters that everyone was responsible for.
McKen asked two knights and a team of infantry to take over the Stone Territory, and the government affairs there were to be presided over by the political officer Serin with several newly brought assistants;
All the government affairs of Wubei Territory were presided over by Wilson and Chahar, and Elron, Jenny and others were in charge.
Rogner's next task was to safely transport all the 25,000 people provided by Wiggins and Kabir back to Wubei Territory.
In addition to government affairs, the expansion of the army was also arranged by Ronin.
Although Ridar was about to take over the Fifth Knights of Wushan Castle, Wubei Territory needed its own knight squad.
Generally speaking, a standard earl had at least one knight squad, and Ronin now only had one knight squad, which was far from enough.
So next, whether it was Wubei Territory or Stone City, they had to recruit enough soldiers for training.
But compared with training ordinary soldiers, the lack of professional knights was the key.
Ronin could only use Rogner to travel around to publicize the policies of Wubei Territory, and then select suitable knights to join.
This was destined to be something that could not be done quickly. (End of this chapter)
