Mariel is indeed a heroic talent, and her character and thoughts alone are enough to impress people.
Mr. Mars was speechless after speaking from the bottom of his heart.
He is now like a sandwich biscuit, sandwiched in the middle, hesitant and difficult to make a decision!
On the one hand is his daughter's clear attitude, on the other hand is Zong Shen who has great strength.
In fact, the reason why Mars was so attentive to Zong Shen was that he wanted to entrust Zong Shen to resolve the matter. This was also one of the areas where he struggled.
As if he could see the concerns in his heart, Zong Shen reached out and put his hand on Mr. Mars's shoulder.
"Don't worry, brother Mars, my territory is not too far from here."
"You can get there in two hours by carriage."
"In the future, my soldiers and I will help you."
"I'm not a very evil person, otherwise I wouldn't have rescued Mariel from the hands of the ruthless Carlisle."
"For your own sake and for Mariel's future, I think you should agree to let Mariel join my territory."
Zong Shen's voice was very gentle, and every word he spoke subtly helped Mars make up his mind.
Finally, Master Mars thought everything through and made a decision. He looked at Zong Shen solemnly and held his hand tightly with both hands.
"Sir, I promised to let Mariel follow you, please be kind to her..."
"In addition, I am ready to invest in building a brand new pasture in your territory."
"Of course, I will pay you a land use fee, and in addition, I will also pay you 10% of the monthly pasture benefits. You will plan the site, and you only need to protect the pasture."
Master Mars finally agreed to Mariel's request to follow Zong Shen, and at the same time decided to invest in the construction of a new ranch in Zong Shen's territory.
Zong Shen shook his hand vigorously, with a smile on his face.
Mr. Mars is preparing to gradually transfer his industry to the territory. As for Zong Shen's current territory development, it is natural to welcome foreign investors like Mr. Mars who can increase his influence on his territory.
"Of course you are welcome. We now have a lot of open space in our territory and can build at any time."
Hearing what Zong Shen said, he finally nodded with relief. Mr. Mars was actually betting on Zong Shen and the future potential of his territory.
The two reached a consensus and found that the atmosphere at the scene was much more relaxed. Mr. Mars began to talk freely with Zong Shen.
From market trade to the development of towns, we talked about the nobles in the city.
The nobles in the entire kingdom are divided into two major noble groups: hereditary nobles and emerging nobles.
The hereditary nobles controlled the power of the kingdom as the old nobles.
Most of the emerging aristocrats were nobles who had made great achievements in the war. As the war subsided, the emerging aristocrats also multiplied and lived in various states and cities, developed industries, carried out trade and farming, and accumulated wealth.
Mr. Mars's father was a rising nobleman of the Kingdom of Avalon. He once owned a manor, a caravan, and a farm in the city of Bosbon.
However, in Mars' generation, they were squeezed out by other emerging nobles. They seized manors and caravans. The titles of the emerging nobles could not be hereditary. Although they had some privileges, they were unable to control power. They could only rely on trade to accumulate wealth and become a local
The wealthy local man.
Therefore, the competition among the emerging nobles is also fierce, and can even be called cruel.
Master Mars failed in the struggle and could only take his accumulated wealth to settle down in the village of Citano.
Here he established a large ranch, and his life was pretty good. Caravans came regularly from the city to buy beef cattle.
However, the villages under the city are often harassed by bandits. Those bandits are roaming around, plundering caravans and farms. Some powerful bandits even dare to attack and sweep the entire village, looting all wealth and supplies, and selling people to slave traders.
.
Although he will definitely be chased by knights sent by the state city or even the giant city afterwards, it is impossible to prevent this kind of thing.
The Kingdom of Avalon does not control its vast territory very tightly, and most of its power and resources are concentrated in giant cities and even the kingdom capital above the giant cities.
He pays little attention to his subordinate cities and villages.
Let them develop and open up wasteland, and even the kingdom itself is happy to see the results.
Of course, this is also one of the situations of many kingdoms currently. After all, this continent is really too big.
After a conversation, Zong Shen understood the difficulties of Master Mars, and also gained a better understanding of the rights system under the aboriginal kingdom of this world.
As the sky outside gradually darkened, Mr. Mars ordered the chef to start preparing the meal, and took Zong Shen and the others to sit at the dining table.
After some previous exchanges, the two of them became quite familiar with each other, and Mars no longer called himself Lord Zong Shen, but changed his name to brother.
"Brother Zong, please allow me to send Mariel to your territory the day after tomorrow."
"You can leave a soldier here and let him lead the way. I will provide accommodation and meals for these two days."
"Maril's mother passed away early. I want to take her to pay homage to her mother outside the village tomorrow."
"I have started preparations for the construction of the ranch in the past few days, and the preparations will be completed within two or three weeks."
"Also, I would like to ask you a favor. I will discuss it with you in detail after I send Mariel to her."
Mr. Mars said to Zong Shen.
"No problem, just do everything as Brother Mars wants."
Zong Shen is in a good mood and his current plan is going well.
In this atmosphere where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, steaming dishes of food were soon served on the table.
Pieces of tender prairie steak were fried to perfection, with black pepper sauce poured on top, and the aroma instantly emerged.
In addition, six large roasted chickens were also served on the table, as well as various salads, side dishes, fruits and vegetables.
Mars even opened several bottles of red wine in the wine cabinet himself. Speaking of which, the climate here is unique for growing grapes.
Being able to have such a meal in a village is already considered a very luxurious thing.
Zong Shen was naturally not polite, and neither were the wolf cavalry, who all started gobbling up the food.
Meat is usually eaten in the territory, but the two are not the same. The crude barbecue in the territory does not have any seasonings, so it is not very delicious.
"After seeing this, I have to catch a chef and bring him back..."
"Huh? Why do I use the word catch..."
Zong Shen thought in his heart.
Now that the territory has taken shape, as a lord, I should also pursue the quality of life.
The current territory is still in the very traditional stage of big pot rice and collective distribution.
But as the territory develops, this phase will always come to an end in the near future.
When the development of the territory enters a new stage of development, Zong Shen will take the initiative to carry out reforms!
