Chapter 315 Marquis Engel: Are the Spencer Family Crazy? ?
Registration of territory is not a very cumbersome matter. He only needs to present the map and the scope to the Tulip King to complete it. However, since the Northern Province is far enough away from the King's capital, it may take two or three months to completely determine the territory.
However, Thor was not in a hurry.
After arranging people to deal with it.
Then he began to deal with matters related to the Eagle Territory.
The existence of a large number of affairs officers and the general affairs officer undoubtedly reduced his workload a lot.
However, it is not completely unnecessary to deal with it.
More than half a year has passed, and there are still a lot of things piled up.
It took Thor almost a week to deal with all the backlogs in the entire territory.
After dealing with all the backlogs, Thor immediately began to work on the future prospects of the entire territory.
And at this moment, this person is less than 40 years old.
Ordinary powerful nobles will not have such a big privilege, at most they will pay a little gold coins.
In the area circled by Thor, there are more than a hundred pioneering lords and seven barons who have been canonized one after another.
Thinking about his experiences along the way, he was even more grateful and longing for Thor.
There is no limit on the number of people in the Eagle Knights. Students who can graduate from the Knight Academy and pass the assessment can join the Eagle Knights.
Not to mention helping with migration, they also have to limit the time of migration.
The quill pen in Thor's hand was writing slowly.
With the population growth and the construction of the academy, counter-reinforcements have appeared over this period of time.
And the Knights were reorganized.
For the pioneering knights who joined Eagle Ridge, Thor also promised that they would be given the opportunity to be canonized as barons in the future, and they would directly join the Eagle Knights.
Either choose to join Thor, or you can only choose to get a reward to migrate to the territory.
And the entire Eagle Ridge also began to move at this moment.
Of course, this is just a plan. At present, the number of knights in the entire Eagle Ridge is only two thousand, and this is still including the personnel of the reserve knights.
Thor is busy.
Divided into four knight groups.
In addition to the addition of more than a dozen pioneering knights this time, the number of knights will inevitably usher in a surge.
Thor was also very straightforward and sent the Eagle Chamber of Commerce to cooperate. Although he would not give them a new territory like Baron Pape and Baron Joz Arbi, in addition to a certain amount of gold coins, he also gave the Eagle Chamber of Commerce a 10% discount on the purchase.
If we simply count the apprentice knights, the number of knights in the entire Eagle Ridge is less than 500 now. With such a small number, it is difficult to form even a knight group.
Of course, this kind of discussion is only "in name". As the earl and the uncrowned king of the entire Northland Province at the moment, these people, whether they are pioneering lords or nobles, the knights have no right to choose.
Among them, the Eagle Knights are the absolute main force. Thor's initial plan is to have a scale of more than 500 people. The knights who want to enter the Eagle Knights must have the strength of a formal knight at least. The Fierce Eagle Knights and the Swift Eagle Knights are also 500 people. The strength of the second-tier knights must be at least the level of apprentice knights.
"Steve, look at this!"
He never thought that he would be able to reach the Earth Knights in his lifetime.
A week later, with the top knight breathing method and three bottles of mid-level life potions, Steve finally crossed the threshold of the peak of the Great Knight and entered the Earth Knight.
Faced with this choice.
Under his plan, there is a construction plan for the next three years.
Although he has considered a lot during the time of returning, he still quickly carried out a complete plan in order to implement it thoroughly.
Seven pioneering nobles all chose to move their territories.
Even Steve himself felt a little dazed.
But at this moment, this incredible level has been reached.
Thor does not need to complete it in one or two days.
However, Thor is not in a hurry.
If you want to classify these territories as the scope of Eagle Ridge, you need to discuss with these people.
He knows that without Thor, he has no hope of reaching this step.
Although they have to leave their own territory, the reward Thor gave them is already very good.
This is the Earth Knight. His biggest imagination before was that he could break through to the peak of the Great Knight.
Beside him is Steve.
They are the Eagle Knights, the Fierce Eagle Knights, the Swift Eagle Knights, and the Eagle Knights that existed at the beginning.
The seven pioneer nobles were also very satisfied with this.
In addition to the seven pioneer lords, there were hundreds of pioneer knights, including more than a dozen pioneer knights, who decided to join Eagle Ridge after thinking for a while.
In the study.
In the study.
While thinking, Thor's voice rang out, and the paper in his hand was handed over.
"Okay, okay!"
Steve woke up from his trance and quickly took the paper written by Thor.
His eyes couldn't help but look over.
When he saw this, Steve's eyes widened instantly, and his eyes instantly looked at Thor.
"How!"
Thor smiled and said.
"My lord, this expenditure may exceed hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year!"
Steve took a deep breath and spoke with a sense of shock.
"Indeed, but that's not a problem."
"I want you to see if, at this scale, the Knights' construction can be on track within three years!"
Thor nodded and then spoke in a deep voice.
"In three years, we should be able to complete the preliminary construction!"
"But if you want to achieve results, I'm afraid it will take five or even ten years."
Taking a deep breath, Steve nodded slightly.
"That's OK!"
"Take this thing down and study it carefully. I will ask Joseph to cooperate with you."
Thor nodded slightly.
It would take five or even ten years to achieve results, so he naturally expected it.
After all, practice is not that easy. In Dressrosa Castle, even with such huge resources, there are not no heirs of Dressrosa who cannot condense the seeds of life before the age of eighteen, let alone What's more, it is even more difficult to choose among a large number of civilians.
After all, in this world, knight training actually depends on talent, and talent is actually more about blood.
The higher your bloodline, the higher your natural talents.
If one has ordinary bloodline, the probability of having high talent will undoubtedly be much lower, unless there really is some top existence above the ancestors.
But Thor doesn't need to expect everyone. He has a school and can completely screen. As long as the base is large enough, there will always be some geniuses. He only needs to expand the training of these geniuses.
"yes!"
Steve responded respectfully, and then slowly backed away with what Thor had written.
"The merit system also needs to be changed!"
Thor muttered to himself, his thoughts involuntarily lost in thought.
With the expansion of territory, there are obviously some problems with the previously established merit system.
The simplest thing is that the merit systems of freedmen, slaves, and knights overlap too much, which is actually not conducive to management and statistics.
Thinking of this, Thor immediately sat down again and began to pick up the quill.
During this period of time, he planned to modify the merit points.
The first step is to separate the merit points of knights from those of free people and slaves.
At the same time, the difficulty of obtaining each other's merit points can be reduced as much as possible.
In this way, the development of the entire territory can be further accelerated.
It's not that easy to perfect the entire merit system, especially the scope of the territory today is not comparable to that before.
After a few days of perfecting it.
Thor convened a large number of affairs officers and began to conduct unified discussions and planning.
And with the return of Thor, the development of the entire territory has undoubtedly reached a higher level again.
First of all, the large amount of materials Thor brought from the royal capital has once again improved the development of the entire Eagle Territory.
Secondly, the planning and construction of the territory.
With such a huge area included in the territory, it can be expected that the most important task for the entire Eagle Ridge in the next two to three years will be construction.
Construction undoubtedly means that slaves, free people, and even knights have more opportunities to obtain meritorious deeds.
In Thor's territory, not only freedmen and slaves need to be busy with construction, but even knights also need to participate in construction.
With enough merit point subsidies, a famous knight will not have any reluctance.
Especially this time, the large amount of supplies in the kingdom allows the Eagle Ridge Knights to redeem more supplies, which is even more so.
Half a month later.
When the outline of Thor's merit system had just come out, the first batch of people transported by Marquis Engel had already arrived at Eagle Ridge, with more than 30,000 people. Marquis Engel would transport three more groups of people in the future, but this time needs time.
It is expected to take almost a year to complete.
Of course, with this first batch of people, Thor's construction speed will undoubtedly be accelerated to another level.
At least those few resource points can be developed in the first batch.
Of course, Thor does not need to arrange these. With the assistance of Joseph and many other affairs officers, it can be easily completed.
Not to mention, this time Marquis Engel once again sent him more than 20 affairs officers, which was more than enough.
Time passes slowly, and Eagle Ridge is in full swing.
A large amount of supplies and gold coins were spent.
Thor even had to go through the kingdom's channels to exchange more than half a million merit points a month later to meet the construction needs.
Of course, with such a massive amount of resources spilled out, both the speed and scale of the entire territory's construction would be unimaginable.
Thor is not even building on the scale of an earl territory, it is almost comparable to the scale of a marquis territory, and it is not the scale of an ordinary marquis territory, at least the scale of a powerful marquis territory.
And it’s not just Eagle Ridge that is beginning to develop greatly at this moment.
Returning to the Northland Province, the nobles of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce also started large-scale construction matters.
The entire Northland province is quietly changing.
The Frost Moon Province is also undergoing changes.
Originally, Count Engel was promoted to Marquis, and the scope of his territory was a big problem for the Dressrosa family.
Unless you choose the border of the Northland Province or the South Moon Province, it is difficult to have enough territory for a marquis within the Tulip Kingdom.
But it can't be resisted. The Tulip Kingdom suffered heavy losses in this Kingdom War.
This kind of heavy loss is already obvious in the capital, and it is even more obvious in the major provinces.
Half of the nobles in the entire Frost Moon Province were emptied, and the West Moon Province was completely cleansed from beginning to end.
And even more fortunately, the Spencer family's last force attack on Thor some time ago was all destroyed, and a vacuum range appeared in the eastern part of the West Moon Province. The Spencer family is simply unable to control such a large area.
In addition, in the western part of the Frost Moon Province, the entire Dressrosa family seems to have enough space all of a sudden.
During this period of time, Marquis Engel was busy in the territory.
In Dressrosa Castle.
"Spencer family, what do they say?"
Marquis Engel spoke calmly, looking at Michael.
"The Spencer family is willing to cede 300 miles of territory within the western Qinghai Lake, but we need to stop pursuing the previous matters and pay one million gold coins or a bottle of high-level life potion."
Michael said.
"What?"
Hearing Michael's words, Marquis Engel was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard, and asked subconsciously.
"Yes, sir, this is the response from the Spencer family."
Michael nodded, with a smile on his face.
"Are they crazy?"
Marquis Engel's eyes were cold.
He really didn't expect that under such circumstances, the Spencer family could make such a decision.
One million gold coins, a bottle of high-level life potion, the other party is really crazy.
All the sky knights fell, and the elite forces suffered heavy losses. They dared to do so. He simply couldn't imagine what was wrong with those people's brains.
Otherwise, Marquis Engel would never understand the other party's current behavior and demands.
