Meimei took a hot bath, and the fatigue from the journey was gone.
Narante plunged into his study and did not come out until lunch.
After lunch, he immediately called his personal guards.
During this autumn campaign, the Guards seemed to have nothing to shine.
However, this is because Quick and the Storm Team have become too dazzling after becoming the title knights, overshadowing their achievements.
Speaking of which, the group of barbarians, whether they were personal guards or ordinary guards, also played a big role in this Autumn March. They could handle three ordinary guards one by one, such as during the Battle of Stone Bridge.
"Big Shitou, my lord, I have a task for you. Because the territory has added too many new people, the territory is now short of food. My lord is going to let you go to the beach to catch whales on the Rainbow to obtain food for the territory!"
"Yes, sir! I will definitely complete your instructions!" Dashiru didn't hesitate at all.
Although the last whale hunting scene still left him with lingering fears, after all, the whale's body was so huge that it would be very dangerous to be photographed by him accidentally.
But now this is their master's order, and they will obey it unconditionally.
Especially on the battlefield of the Autumn Expedition, they saw the Lord personally diverting tens of thousands of enemy troops to protect them. Such an action was enough to move all the barbarians and swear allegiance to the Lord to the death!
"Very good, I will talk to Quik later and ask him to assign another twenty barbarian guards to act with you."
"By the way, Big Stone, you have to remember, don't choose the largest whale to hunt in the future. It's too dangerous. Just choose a medium one. There are no special requirements for adults. The safety of you people is more important.
!”
"Yes, sir!" Da Shitou immediately showed his gratitude.
"Well, now come with me to Maiye Village. After the rewards of this Autumn March are announced, you can start taking action!"
After saying that, Nalant stood up and left the inner fort, and then summoned a group of subordinates to rush to Maiye Village.
When he came to Maiye Village again after two months, he actually didn't recognize this village that belonged to him.
In addition to the rows of brand-new manor buildings on the square in the distance, even the streets of Maiye Village have become extremely lively now.
The streets were full of caravans and vendors selling souvenirs.
"Wow! Sir, why is Maiye Village so lively?"
"Yes! Sir, we have lived here for so many years, but we have never seen such a lively Maiye Village!"
Several lucky girls also opened their eyes wide and looked at the prosperous scene in the town.
"Perhaps Maiye Village should no longer be called a village in the future, but can be officially renamed Maiye Town." Nalan was also very pleased that his territory had become so prosperous.
This gave him an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. Isn't this the joy of running a territory?
This is something he could never experience in his previous life, even in the game.
"Mai Ye Town? Okay, sir, then we will have a small town in the Storm Territory! This is really great, sir, you are so powerful!" The little girl Shirley immediately jumped up.
"My lord is mighty!" Several other lucky girls and subordinates also expressed joy.
The more prosperous the Storm Territory becomes, the happier they will naturally be.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Nalant did not stop and led everyone into the village.
At this moment, all the houses on both sides of the streets in Maiye Village are already resting, and those who are working hard on nailing boards or building thatch must be the new serfs who have just been captured.
The fact that Maiye Village is so prosperous now has something to do with their existence.
Of course, it was not these captured serfs who were walking on the street at the moment. After all, even the food had to be paid for by Nalant, so it was impossible to let them eat and drink for free.
The people walking on these streets are either the original villagers in the town, or the caravan members who come to Stormland to do business.
Although Nalant had not arrived at the square at this moment, he could already see dozens of carriages parked outside the square manor from a distance. In addition to carriages, there were also wheelbarrows.
The carriage belongs to the aristocratic caravan, while the wheelbarrow belongs to the common people's caravan like Laurie Grocer.
"Ah! It's our lord! The lord is back!"
"I've seen the lord!" As Nalant continued to move forward, some serfs setting up stalls or walking by the roadside immediately exclaimed with wide eyes.
After they reacted, they all knelt on the ground respectfully and then offered their greetings.
They had not seen their lord for more than two months, so they were naturally excited when they saw him for the first time.
The reason for excitement is very simple, that is, after the arrival of this lord, they finally lived a good life.
A year ago, how could they eat meat every now and then? Let alone meat, even if they could eat enough black bread every day, it was impossible.
Now, not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also occasionally buy oysters, dried fish and meat.
As long as they work hard, they never have to worry about going hungry. Even the old clothes they have worn for several years have been replaced with brand new ones.
Of course, the more important thing is that they no longer have to worry about dark creatures harming them. The lord is like a god protecting their safety.
Therefore, the serfs of Stormland have been worried about whether the lord can return safely during this period, because they know that all this is because of their lord Nalant. If he is gone, their good life will definitely be ruined immediately.
Go away.
Now that everyone saw that their master was safe and sound, many people even expressed gratitude to the gods from the bottom of their hearts.
"Get up!" Nalant walked and waved to the serfs with a friendly smile.
The mental outlook of these people now has changed tremendously compared to when he first arrived. Their eyes are no longer numb and lifeless, but have a little hope and agility.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This means that these people are no longer the ‘walking dead’, but a living person!
"grown ups!"
At this time, Mario, who got the news, also hurried over.
"Well, Mario, take me to inspect those newly built small buildings!" Nalant greeted him.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, under the leadership of Mario, Nalant began to inspect the small buildings built later.
After confirming that the quality was correct and the construction was strictly in accordance with my own requirements, I finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Mario, the completion of these small buildings is very good. All the masons will be rewarded. Each of them will be rewarded with five silver coins!"
"In addition, I plan to expand the scale of the renovation again in two months. At least hundreds of small buildings will be built, and Maiye Village and Seaside Lucky Village will be started at the same time!" Narant said about his arrangement.
His goal is to make Maiye Village a "modern town" where every family can live in small brick and stone buildings.
Of course, it will take several years to complete this plan, and now we need to do it step by step.
Moreover, in order to encourage the serfs to work hard, it was natural to set an example when distributing the small buildings and let the meritorious people live in the small buildings, instead of him, the lord, sitting on the good people and arranging them one by one.
With such a dual role of materials and sense of honor, I believe that the people of the territory can completely follow the footsteps of their lord and work hard to contribute to the development of the territory.
After checking the small building, Nalant went to the tavern and restaurant in front and found that there were many customers inside, most of them were members of the caravan.
According to Mario, since his Autumn March, the caravans coming to the Storm Territory have not stopped very often. Basically, one or several caravans will come every three or two days.
Of course, among these caravans, civilian caravans must be the largest. After all, there are only dozens of nobles in the Tulip Territory, and it is impossible for them to come every day.
However, don't underestimate these civilian caravans. There are so many of them. Even if each person only consumes a dozen copper coins, they can add up to a lot.
The most important and huge flow of people is to promote the commercial development of the Storm Territory. For example, his serfs will go to the forest to catch rabbits in their free time, or weave hemp ropes to sell to these caravans.
In this way, even some elderly people can earn food with their own hands and will not become a burden to their children.
…
After visiting the tavern, the inspection of Maiye Village was completed, and Nalant went directly to the high platform of the square to prepare for the celebration meeting.
This is what he must do after returning.
Although the Agate Principality suffered losses during this Autumn Expedition, he himself was truly a triumphant return.
Then, rewards for subordinates are also necessary. In this battle, all the subordinates worked hard and no one took a step back when facing the enemy!
"My lord, I have seen the performance of all of you in this Autumn March. You have proved your bravery and your loyalty with your actions, and my lord, I also owe a share of your contribution to this triumph!"
"So, sir, I am now going to hold this Autumn Campaign celebration meeting to reward you for your bravery!"
As Nalant finished speaking, the guards below immediately showed expectant eyes.
Nalant did not write any ink and directly took out a list from his pocket.
This is the list of rewards he drew up in his study after taking a shower.
First of all, it was of course Quirk and the other Storm Riders, who made the greatest contribution this time.
"Quick, Caney, Duke...the twenty-five of you have brilliantly demonstrated the bravery and prowess of knights in this autumn campaign. Accompanying your lord, I diverted the pursuers and penetrated deep into the enemy's camp. I owe a great deal to you!"
"
"So, the reward you will receive this time is also the richest. Sir, I have prepared a brand new small building for each of you, the ones behind the manor!"
Wow!
"Ah! Those newly built small buildings behind the tavern are rewarded like this? Isn't this Lord too generous?"
"Yes! That small building is probably worth several gold coins. They are so lucky!"
"It would be great if I could live in such a beautiful small building, even if I live in this doomed place, it would be no problem!"
"Kerry, just dream! Even if you are willing to join the Storm Territory, look at those knights. They are all titled knights. Can you compare to them?"
At this moment, there were naturally crowds of onlookers around, many of whom were members of the caravan.
When they heard the reward Nalant gave to his subordinates, they instantly became noisy. They had never seen such a generous lord before.
Likewise, they could not conceal their envy of Quick and others, wishing they could step forward and take their place right now.
On the other hand, Quirk and the others, although they were already happy, did not even move, they still stood upright with their chests raised and their heads raised.
Narant was even more satisfied when he saw this, and immediately waved to Lilia, who then brought over the twenty-five parchments prepared by Narant.
These parchment scrolls are the deeds of those houses, with the signature and seal of the lord Nalant on them, so later they only need to write down the house number of the small building, and then they will be the new home of the storm knights.
When Lilia came closer, Nalant personally stepped down and handed the land deed to the Storm Rider in person.
"Thank you for the gift!" Finally, the twenty-five storm knights held the land deed and expressed their gratitude to Nalant with great excitement.
"Work hard!" Nalant patted Quick on the shoulder in front of him and encouraged the storm knights.
After the rewards for the Storm Riders were distributed, Nalant returned to the high platform.
Next are the rewards for Raymond, Big Stone and other barbarians, plus the medical team and the long-range attack team.
However, their rewards are naturally not as generous as those of the Storm Team. After all, the credit must be distinguished based on the size, otherwise other problems will easily arise.
In the end, captains like Raymond and Da Shitou each received a reward of a small manor building.
As for the ordinary guards and members of the medical team, Narant rewarded each of them with dozens of kilograms of fish, linen and other daily necessities, plus a reward of twenty silver coins per person.
All in all, the value of this reward is not low, and it immediately made all the guards smile from ear to ear.
Finally, it was the turn of Rose and the coachmen and savages who were used as coolies. They also received a generous reward worth ten silver coins.
Of course, those who go to the Autumn Expedition will be rewarded, and those who stay in the territory will not forget it.
After all, without these people staying in the territory, he would not be able to fight abroad with peace of mind.
In the end, the left-behind personnel were rewarded with ten silver coins just like the coolies!
Under this condition, all of Nalant's subordinates were satisfied and would not be jealous of others.
After all, he clearly knows how much credit he has given, and his lord has clear rewards and punishments.
After all the rewards were distributed, Nalant looked at the onlookers with envious eyes and said to them with a smile: "Are you envious of them? Especially the Storm Riders!"
The people below did not answer, but the look in their eyes already gave the answer.
Nalant continued to smile and said: "My lord, let me tell you, in fact, you don't have to be envious, because I will give you such an opportunity in the future!"
"Although my lord has just rewarded me with a lot of small buildings, there are only half of them left. Moreover, in two months, my lord, I will continue to build hundreds of brand-new small buildings like this!"
"Ah! We still need to build hundreds of small buildings?" Suddenly, both the guards and the crowd were shocked by Nalant's generosity!
