Dipu already had a basic idea for the construction of the entire Blackeye Collar, which was to build the Blackeye Town under the castle into an inner city with complete defenses. Together with the castle, it is built into a complete fortress system.

To the east of the inner city, a large area of barren land will be used to build barracks, schools, warehouses, workshops, ....... In other directions outside the inner city, a large area of land will also be set aside for the construction of the outer city. And this qiē purpose, Dipu follows is - great. He is not afraid of spending too much money, but he is afraid that he will not be able to make time. Indeed, Dipu's vision is grand enough, and he is already preparing for the release of the Forbidden Demon God Ruins.

......

Franco was hurrying back to Black-Eyed Castle, while Tipp was in a tender relationship with Revina.

In the small living room of the Marquis's Palace, Revina stared down at the floor, not daring to raise her head. I felt that Dipu's extremely aggressive gaze was even more uncomfortable. She mechanically recited the terms drawn up by the Earl of Edinburgh, and the thought of her father's gaze that had seen through it made her feel a pang of shyness and weakness.

"Your Excellency......"

"It's called Dipp. ”

"...... Dip, your realm is short of population, and you are sheltering the inferior people of the Plains. It's better to move some from Grenville. I promise: all young men and women, with a maximum of two children per household. All of them are loyal and honest, and they are also very devout to the god of light......"

"Hahaha!" Dipu laughed, "How many?"

"Five thousand. ”

"Hmm...... Yes. ”

"And, father...... Oh no...... It's me, because without these people, there is less poll tax, so ...... So each person has to pay for hardware. The more Revena spoke, the quieter her voice became, and by the end of the day, her ears were burning with shame.

This is a bit of a bully, although it is a poll tax, but it is only one or two silver coins a year. And now the major territories are already overpopulated, leading to many social problems. Therefore, this condition not only solves a part of the overpopulation, but also sells these people as "slaves".

Unexpectedly, Dipu smiled and shook his head: "Okay-!" Although there is a large population on the Sunset Plain, it is wild and untamable, and most of them are old and weak. With this part of the population, the structure of the black-eyed lords is relatively healthy. As for the money spent, what about giving it to Levina? Dipu has never been stingy with his own women.

Revina twisted her clenched handkerchief and continued to bow her head, "Your black-eyed collar is also buying food. We can also provide a lower price than the comptoir, which can be half a percent. Yes...... Three million pounds!"

"Okay! I bought them all, and it doesn't matter if I have more. Dipu continued dryly.

"And ...... Also, I hope that together with His Excellency Viscount Sequoia, the three families can sign an "Offensive and Defensive Alliance" to form a coalition army, with a tentative number of 1,000. Can you give out a hundred, unified command, unified training. The costs are borne by each other. Led by our Grenville City?"

"Okay!" to be able to tie Grenville City and Redwood Collar to his side, Dipu couldn't ask for it.

And these are all new policies planned by the Earl of Edinburgh. Reducing the burden of the population, revitalizing the food stockpile, and using the establishment of the coalition army to reduce the number of their own private armies, can increase a lot of revenue for Grenville City.

"And ...... Lisa's Marriage ......"

Dipu clapped his hand: "I've thought about it, if I don't marry, it will also affect the reputation of the girl's family." If she agrees, she will marry her! The external identity can be vague, and it can be big or small. But the black-eyed lord's mother is still Qiu Min. However, I promise that the territory inherited by Lisa's children will not be smaller than that of the Blackeye Collar. "Anyway, there is a lot of territory in the Forbidden Demon God Ruins, at most, I will use Haofu's Xiong Wei to grab a piece of it!

"Hmm!" was so smooth that Revina was a little overwhelmed. She didn't know what to continue with, and she didn't want Dipp to leave immediately.

And Dipu looked at the shy Revina and felt funny. He said, "Nana! I have a few things to trouble you. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"My black-eyed collar is in short supply of labor. The first thing is to dredge the ditches that were previously abandoned before spring planting. As soon as spring begins, the wasteland will be fully cultivated. If the Marquis's Court can take over this project, I will pay 300,000. In the future, I will also build a city and a military camp, and I can continue to cooperate. ”

Revina is not a little girl who doesn't understand the world, and as soon as she hears it, she knows that this is a great thing to make money. In winter, there was nothing to do, and the Marquis's Mansion was able to levy labor. As long as you take a few meals for tens of thousands of laborers, plus a dozen silver coins after the fact, you can completely send it away. In this way, the Marquis' Mansion can earn at least a hundred thousand.

"Hmm!" Revina nodded, "Let Steward Jin discuss the details of the specific matters." ”

"Okay, let him find Madame Franco, who lives in the castle!" Mrs. Franco, Frida, is indeed a virtuous helper. And it is the financial talent that the black eye collar lacks the most. Therefore, Dip simply entrusted these trivial matters of engineering accounting to Frieda in charge.

"Hmm!"

"Nana, I'm going to start a home school and conduct a census of magical talents in the territory. Are you interested in taking a census of the children in your territory? Cultivate your own magical talents?Think about it, the three magical advisors who were originally supported by your Marquis's Mansion all had different intentions. Although I have been cultivating for a longer time, I can always know the roots. ”

Revina's eyes lit up, and she raised her head unconsciously: "Okay......! I've started to cultivate, what should I do if I run away?"

"You can rest assured. "Dipu is confident," signed a service agreement, guaranteed to serve for ten or eight years. Even if you leave later, at least you have used it. And not all magic apprentices can become magicians. Magic apprentices are also useful, a dozen of them can top a magician. Anyway, what we have cultivated in our three territories can be used together. We don't distinguish each other!"

"That's for the best. Revina eagerly agreed. The major lords of the Tello Kingdom, what they lack most is this kind of magic survey and magic cultivation. Besides, Dipu has a reputation for being a sage, and magic education must be quite formal, "So...... So can you add Edinburgh Collar?"

"Hahaha! Dipu laughed and said, "Nana, but my school still needs a few people from your territory to be instructors." ”

"Who is it?"

"Quinn, a few of them, are now the city gate officials of the West Gate!"

As soon as Revina heard these few people who had no identity, she immediately nodded and agreed: "I'll send it to you......! Lisa, and ...... Well...... Trousseau. ”

"Hahaha-!" Dipp burst out laughing, "It's not Lisa's, the Marquis's Mansion isn't so stingy, is it?" )
