Lord of the North

Chapter 71: Miss him?

  The ceremony lasted all morning. In addition to commending the expedition members, Jason also announced some decisions in the future territory.

   He felt that it was necessary for his citizens to know these things, otherwise the announcement and implementation without warning would easily arouse resistance from the townspeople.

   After all, some decisions will affect the interests of some people.

The most important thing is that winter is about to enter. The winter in the north is a bit long. It starts from November every year and ends in February of the coming year. For five months, the north will be covered in snow and ice. under.

   If there is a little less food harvested in a year, it is probably not enough for the residents to survive the winter.

   So Jason decided to build a granary in the town to avoid starving people to death in the winter.

   There is a big lake to the west of Tieya Town. It is said that there are a lot of fish in it, so he decided to check it out over time. If the conditions are right and the lake freezes, maybe a big fishing can be done!

  In this way, the food source of the people is guaranteed, but it affects the business of the merchants. You must know that the food business in the north can bring them a large amount of income every year.

   That's why Jason issued this order in advance to prevent merchants from hoarding a large amount of food, maliciously increasing food prices, and at the same time avoiding their losses.

   If they are not satisfied, Jason has nothing to do. Just ignore them. There is no perfect solution.

   Jason must first consider it for his own benefit.

   "This is terrible!" Some businessmen sighed there after the ceremony.

   "Yes, I brought a lot of food from the south in advance, so I will lose it if I don't know."

   "We are all to blame for not inquiring about the temperament of this new lord, otherwise there are some ways to deal with it."

   "I thought I could make a fortune, but I didn't expect it to pay for transportation."

   "You said, can we bribe this new lord?"

   Someone had a crooked mind, because many nobles in the Kingdom of Lopez were extremely greedy, and this was one of the reasons why the kingdom began to decline.

   "Hmph, have you forgotten the corpses hanging outside the city gate before?" The other person sneered, but Jason's cleanup scared these people.

   "Okay, don't worry about it anymore. Let's take the food to other territories and sell it. At least we can guarantee that we won't be able to compensate this year." An older businessman finally agreed.

"I blame this Kyle family. This new lord is also blind. The Kyle family can cooperate when..." Another person complained and said, since the Kyle family came to the north to cooperate with Jason, it led to this scene. The caravan had to lower prices a lot.

   This can cost them a lot of profits.

   "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

   Discuss slandering aristocrats on the street, if they are found, they will be punished.

   "Let's go and think about it. The most important thing is not to smash these grains in your hands."

   "Yes, it's all gone!"

   This group of businessmen stopped talking and went back separately.

   On the other side, Jason was wondering why Eve twisted over when he didn't see Gareth from start to finish.

   "That, Lord Marquis." She was a little embarrassed, her expression tangled: "Where is Lord Gareth? I... I want to ask him something."

   "Ah, Gareth!" Jason didn't know, so he could only turn his gaze to Lancelot.

   "Gareth has gone to the military factory." Lancelot replied, giving Eve a smile by the way.

   "Huh? What are you going to do in the military factory?" Now it's Jason's turn to be curious. Should this guy report to himself about Erbia's situation first?

   "He heard that a master forge had recently arrived in the military factory to be responsible for this piece of equipment, so he hurried over and asked if he could help him improve Albania's military equipment." Lancelot said helplessly.

  Urbia’s equipment is indeed much worse than that of the regular army in Tiefang Town. Urbia’s army still wears iron leather armor or even ordinary leather armor.

   The infantry army in Ironfang Town is all equipped with half-length iron armor, and the equipment of the archers is similar to that of Alba, after all, these people don't have to come forward and fight melee.

   Recently, Jason and Lancelot have been purchasing a large amount of iron ore to make equipment for heavy armored infantry.

Now that Rodney is responsible for teaching craftsmen to forge, the quality of military equipment is absolutely up to the standard. There is no problem with the heavy armor that was not dared to build before. As long as the gold coins can keep up, Jason is confident to build it in one year. A heavily armored force.

   "What a rash man." Jason spread his hands toward Eve, saying that regardless of his own business, Gareth himself did not come.

   "That's it." Her eyes dimmed, but she didn't say anything.

   "Don't you miss him?" Jason asked her amusedly.

   "Impossible! How could it be? Why would I miss that guy!" Eve waved her hand in an instant, never admitting that she would miss Gareth.

   She said that Gareth was the first person she met in Tie Ya Ling, so she cared about it. Yes, it was the concern between friends!

   But her flushed face is very unconvincing.

   "Okay, but I happen to be going to the military factory, Miss Eve, do you want to be together?" Jason smiled and invited ~www.novelmt.com~ by the way, naturally.

   "Come and meet your friend by the way."

   "Also, if I haven't seen me for so many days, I have to ask carefully if he has sent someone to inform my family." Eve's eyes fluttered, seeming to answer indifferently.

   Then Jason asked Alexis and Lorna for their opinions, and after getting a positive answer, he smiled and said, "Haha, let's go."

  Alexis and Lorna are also curious about this military factory, which is responsible for the equipment production of the entire territory, but there is no secret at all, so there is no hindrance to bringing someone in to see it.

   Now Jason has recruited more than one hundred blacksmiths from the realm, and Jason from outside the town of Iron Tooth took their family to the town.

  The treatment of these people is very high. The reason is that Jason hopes to let the citizens know that as long as they have excellent craftsmanship, they can find a good job in Tiejialing and their life can be guaranteed.

  In this way, Jason will not only gain prestige, but future policies can also be better implemented.

   But the biggest problem is that this military factory is really too expensive. A large amount of ore is consumed every day. After all, not every piece of equipment can be qualified, and no matter how skilled a master is, there will be mistakes.

When the group walked to the military factory, they happened to see Gareth who had just walked out of it. Today, the handsome young man did not wear his armor anymore, but was wearing a black robe. His temperament looked much colder. .

   "My lord!" Gareth obviously also noticed Jason and others who were walking by. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he immediately saluted.

   then glanced at Ronat behind him without a trace, a very powerful breath.

   As for Eve, who was twitching on the side, was ignored by him gorgeously.
