Chapter 207
Moreover, because it was the rule brought by conquest, there were always some thorns in this territory, especially those nobles who were completely deprived of their territory by Rand.
After hanging several nobles who tried to stir up chaos, the Count of Moon Phase gradually stabilized.
However, Rand's troops are quite scarce compared to an earl's leader, and mercenaries will not be a good choice in an unstable stage.
Therefore, at this stage, it is difficult for Rand to immediately attack the burning land he has coveted for a long time.
But that doesn't mean Rand can do nothing.
After half a winter vacation was rotated for the soldiers and generals, Rand began to mobilize Tan and Fenris to go to the Burning Land border to put pressure on.
Rand also equipped them with some Burning Land bandits who were willing to obey Rand as guides to help the two generals solve problems of unfamiliar with the local geographical environment.
If Rand had sufficient troops, a surprise attack would be a good choice, but Rand was ready to put pressure on it gradually.
Rand is already a great nobleman, and many political means that were originally unusable can now be used.
For example, the current strategy is that when a large army is approaching, a piece of land will naturally divide the resistance faction and the surrender faction.
The Burning Land is not a single piece. As long as some people turn to him, the powerful and famous Earl of Moon Phase, Rand will be much easier to conquer the Burning Land.
Until then, Rand would not really use his troops.
Now that the territory has become larger, logistics has gradually become a problem. Even though Rand is already a lord who is very diligent in building roads, as the territory expands and the strategic perspective expands, logistics problems are still increasing.
"Is there any strategy?" Rand asked the senior executives of the den.
"The news from Lesa, the improvement of the carriage, and the kiln technology for efficient brick burning are all being steadily promoted, and soon many road surfaces can be replaced with masonry pavement." Ellie said.
Although she is working hard to practice her newlyweds and later as her mistress, she still works normally.
Rand nodded. Now he has a considerable part of his work, which is to continuously adjust the priority of den technology development to adapt to the current situation of his den power.
"What are the movements of the nobles in the southern countries?" Rand looked at Elsa.
Elsa's face was a little pale at this time. She didn't always have the blessing of blessing 1 like Rand. She was overly indulged in this period and was a little dehydrated. Even if she was a powerful and most powerful profession, she was still not as good as the mother god. The messenger of God.
"Many nobles of all sizes and big borders with you have begun to emulate the Snow Fox Earl's defense line." Elsa said, "As for the national level, the two major alliances of the Southern Kingdom have completely ceased to fight, and the influence of the undead is more than they imagined. The medium is much larger, and some underground species are also beginning to emerge everywhere."
Since the cult leader was arrested and then disappeared, there have been a lot of wars in the land over the past three years, and a lot of soil has been produced.
Plus the collapse of the Torch Church.
This land has become a fertile ground for breeding cults, especially the God of Struggle and the Scourge Clan.
Of course, there is also the orthodox cult that is becoming the Torch Church - the Goddess of the Birth.
"Let them build." Rand sneered.
The nobles of this world obviously had never heard of the Maginot Line.
Rand is now unable to expand outward, so they can build the defense line, and he doesn't care at all.
Rand's current focus is port construction and ship construction.
After he has enough large ships, he can go directly to the sea and bypass these defense lines on land.
At that time, they will know that building a defense line will be in vain.
"Is there anything else?" Rand continued to ask in a wooden seat with a backrest.
"Some, the country has started to mobilize troops recently. According to the alliance, when the member states of the Northern Alliance suffer from orc disasters, the other member states must mobilize troops and material support in a timely manner." Ellie spoke again.
But Rand is still out of the scope of the recruitment.
However, this does not mean that the war in the north has nothing to do with Rand.
After the Ice Sea King King City was captured, the White Kingdom belonged to the front line, but it was a little better than the countries on the front line.
Rand's "brother-in-law" is still in the north. Rand's wedding will take a wedding process. Rand will definitely go to Baizhiguo in person.
It is even possible that we really have to lead the army of White Country to fight a battle with the orcs.
This possibility is quite high. Rand has put the orcs' intelligence on the conspicuous place on his desk and started to look through it when he has time.
...
At this time, in the crescent moon collar, Grand Duke Thorn's aunt was treating his niece to eat fish.
"The marriage plan failed. You can't stay here for too long. I will arrange someone to send you back to your father's place in the near future." said Grand Duke Thorn's aunt.
The legitimate daughter of Grand Duke Thorns ate fish quietly. As a junior, she knew that she was not qualified to know many things, such as why her aunt was so sure that there was no hope for the marriage plan.
But it is rare to come out and discover that the aristocratic territory of this world is not exactly as luxurious but lacking in vitality.
After quietly eating the delicious fish, Grand Duke Thorn's daughter said, "The church school here has begun to recruit students."
Grand Duke Thorn's aunt sighed, "It depends on your father's meaning."
The young girl in front of her didn't say much. She knew that she could not resist her father's will no matter what.
And it is obvious that the Earl of Moon Phase Rand looked down on her and her aunt.
But she really wanted to learn something here.
At the same time, the Black Brown Marquis, the Bucks Earl, and Shelan arrived at the door of the resort villa.
This is a place full of vitality.
It seems that it is a very smart choice for them to arrange their children to study.
As long as you can learn the basics of Rand's governance and military affairs, it will definitely be a matter of great benefit.
So Shelan is here too.
Shelan decisively delegated the territory affairs to the officials of the Bucks family.
Although the Bucks Earl looks healthy, he is an old man of the same generation as the Black Brown Marquis. Sooner or later, he will inherit the Bucks Earl's Earl's Earl's Earl.
He originally thought that he was relatively excellent among the young noble heirs, but now he felt that he needed to take advantage of his father's ability to move around and manage the Bucks Earls and come and learn some knowledge.
He still needs to learn a lot.
The Black Brown Marquis had always had a cold expression.
He felt that his vitality was constantly losing. After he came here to deal with the heir problem this time, he planned to go to the north.
He intends to die on the battlefield, not on the hospital bed.
Chapter 298 Others' children and neighbors' children
Grand Duke Thorn's aunt recognized the family emblems of the Black Brown Family and the Bucks Family, but she had no interest in communicating.
It is probably either to come to celebrate Rand's becoming a count, or to come to inspect and prepare to make a lot of investment in the port.
When Grand Duke Thorn's aunt saw that his niece had finished her meal, she said, "Accompany your aunt, I'll take a walk?"
Her grandnieces nodded. Although she already knew this resort well, she was still happy to go for more.
At the same time, the Marquis of Black Brown, the Earl of Bucks, and Shelan entered the resort villa under the reception of the publicity officer.
The short publicity officer smiled and said, "Lord Rand is in charge of the full moon recently. Are you going now or visiting the resort first?"
"Let's take a look here first." The Black Brown Marquis said in a low voice, "I want to go to the school here."
The Bucks Earl is about the same age as the Black Brown Marquis. They were friends when they were young. The current Black Brown Marquis' state makes the Bucks very worried.
But there is no way.
The Bucks Earl used his connections to seek various possibilities, but no method could help the current situation of the Black Brown Marquis.
The head of the propagandist brought these great nobles to the church school.
Since spring approaches, there have been fewer people coming to pilgrimage, and the villagers have to go back to prepare for spring planting.
And now, the church school has officially started operation.
Some of the young children of the Bucks Earl and the Black Brown Marquis attended classes here.
The teacher in class is still vanilla.
Vanilla, a teacher uniform designed by Rand, explains how to manage efficiently.
For example, simplify unnecessary steps, make plans in advance, etc.
After entering the classroom, the Marquis of Black Brown, the Earl of Bucks, and Shelan sat in the back row to listen to the class.
This undoubtedly made the students and the teachers nervous.
Until the end of a class.
The students and Mr. Vanilla were relieved.
Nowadays, many nobles have sent their juniors to the resort villa to study.
The students who are currently in class are only some of them. Vanilla is under a lot of pressure to work, so she is preparing to apply to Lord Lesa to arrange more teachers at the school.
The Marquis of Black Brown and the Earl of Bucks looked at each other, then separated and went to meet the juniors of their family.
The Black Brown Family studied here, Jayne, and his two rather young brothers and sisters.
The two young children are nine and ten years old.
"Jayne." The Black Brown Marquis said in a deep voice.
Since he came to the resort, Jayne has not learned much. He felt very ashamed to study in a noble territory of the same age as him, and his classmates also have their young brothers and sisters.
Besides, he himself does not want to learn at all. After he inherits the title of the Black Brown Family, he can enjoy it. He does not intend to explore anyway, so it is still easy to maintain success.
Therefore, the period since he learned that his father was coming to take the exam for teaching him was not enough for him to make up for his bad knowledge, even if his younger brothers and sisters had already "teached him all".
Jayne walked to the Black Brown Marquis with some trepidation: "Father."
The Marquis of Black Brown asked Jayne what he learned during this period.
Then asked some questions prepared by the butler.
This butler sometimes accompanied him to attend classes and learned more than Jayne.
Jayne could only answer a few questions very hesitantly.
Then the Marquis of Black Brown asked Jayne about the resort and his views on Rand.
Now Jayne finally admitted that Rand is amazing, but he still feels a sense of arrogance.
In fact, many old nobles from the south who have been passed down for a long time have this kind of arrogance, and they are disdainful and despised by the newcomers.
But the Black Brown Marquis didn't know why his son had this idea.
Although he had long expected the situation of this seventh son, parents always have expectations for their children.
But now, the Black Brown Marquis must consider it for the family’s interests.
After Jayne's teaching examination was over, the Marquis of Black Brown inspected his two young children.
The situation is much better than Jayne, and since he has been studying in the resort for a while, he is relatively close to Rand.
The Marquis of Black Brown took Jayne out of the church school, found a quiet place, and said, "Let me leave the matter of inheriting the Black Brown family to your younger brother and sister. I will arrange for you to be a knight under Rand, De will take good care of you."
Jayn's eyes widened, unbelievable.
He had always felt that his heir was too stable to be stable, but now, he has been deprived of his heir status.
Jayn touched his lips and teeth, and squeezed out a few words: "I am much older than them, and they can't manage the territory at all."
The Black Brown Marquis didn't explain much.
He knew very well that his son would not understand.
Seeing that his father said nothing more, Jayne's face was distorted and his eyes twitched.
It was all his! Everything about the Black Brown Marquis, and the Black Brown City with a theater, belongs to him!
But now his father, Hei Brown Marquis, will deprive everything that belongs to him in one sentence!
The Black Brown Marquis looked at his son quietly. In fact, if he could resist, the Black Brown Marquis would be more respectful to him.
But it didn't.
Jayn's face turned purple, but he just looked down at his toes.
He felt that his father was out of reach, but he still dared not resist his father.
Even though this famous Black Brown Marquis was already terminally ill, he still did not have the courage to resist.
