Of course, it was impossible for Adrian to finish all Baggins's specialty dishes by himself. He had no intention of eating alone. In the square at the foot of Rivendell, Sunstorm's tradition of holding a banquet when receiving happy events was preserved.
But this time Adrian deliberately expanded the scale, not only Adrian's attendants and vassals, but Harper's slaves also participated.
Of course, this does not include the former director of the family employment office and his relatives. Even the underage elf slaves who have been selected by Harper as his subordinates are not eligible to participate. First, they are different from Harper's original slaves.
After all, Harper and his men were prisoner-of-war slaves, the highest status among slaves, but they were just the worst slaves who betrayed their masters. They were the lowest status among all types of slaves, and of course they were not qualified.
And those free people who were recruited did not receive the invitation. This is not because Adrian is stingy. If servants, vassals and slaves can be regarded as one's own in front of others, then these free people who were recruited will be
They can only be regarded as half of his own people. Not to mention that it is difficult for Adrian to regard them as his own people for the time being, but that Adrian plans to select attendants and vassals from them in the future. Of course, he needs to give them a little motivation to stand for election.
Just like a long time ago, when the Green Sea Dynasty was first established, within the Green Sea Dynasty, soldiers were actually divided into grades. The "Code of Order" at that time stipulated that the daily dinner of lower-class soldiers was a piece of sufficient black bread and a piece of salt.
Meat, and on holidays a variable variety of fruit, while a mid-level soldier's dinner consisted of a generous slice of brown bread and a bowl of salty broth.
As for the superior soldiers, they can eat fruits every day, their bread is white bread, and the broth is carefully prepared by the chefs who accompany the army. This seemingly unfair system has created the history of the Green Sea Dynasty.
In the era when soldiers were most effective in combat, low-level soldiers wanted to drink a bowl of salty broth for dinner, while middle-level soldiers wanted soft white bread.
There is a saying circulating within the Green Sea Dynasty: Level is order, and order is beauty. If such a system had not been canceled by the three supreme royal courts for unknown reasons, it would have been upheld forever.
However, although the system was abolished, the hierarchy was strictly adhered to.
And those freemen who were not invited did not have much resentment, because although they knew that this kind and generous lord would hold a banquet to reward his attendants and vassals tonight, they did not actually come to Raven.
In order to qualify for the square at the foot of Dale, they were arranged in the redwood forest. The front-line representatives of various chambers of commerce had purchased wooden houses in the town of Elf Tree Gallery from Ralph. They would rest in them, and those
Those who have no purchasing power will rest in the redwood forest. Of course, Adrian has given them food.
The banquet lasted until midnight. All the attendants and vassals who were qualified to attend the banquet left with satisfaction. Baggins looked at the messy place and sighed. He was proud that his craftsmanship was liked by everyone.
, on the other hand, they are distressed by the surge in workload.
Everything in the territory is developing in the right direction. The sites of the three villages were determined within a month. According to Adrian's will, where there is a village in the atoll hunting ground ruins, there will be development.
The direction is determined to be the last supply station from the interior of the Grensen Tower continent to the southern seamount fortress Torhel. Where does this geographical advantage exist? Although it is still blank now, if it develops well, it will become
Adrian's second money tree.
The other two villages, one at the intersection of the mainland highway and the Opal River, will also become a location similar to a transportation hub and supply station, and also have strong development potential.
As for the location of the last village in the plan, it is the farthest, far away at the foot of the Sento Mountains, right next to the iron mine that Adrian specifically wanted to visit when the fiefdom was determined. Where is Adrian's plan?
In the industrial town, in addition to daily hunting, the residents there also have the responsibility of mining iron ore for Adrian. Of course, they will also receive many benefits, such as tax exemptions, and heart health benefits.
water remuneration.
And those lower-level elves who are working for various chambers of commerce are also very satisfied with the development potential of the Solar Storm Territory. Not to mention the tea trade, because the tea trade is an area that they cannot touch for the time being. All the tea produced by the Solar Storm Territory is now only through
Sold through auction, the ocean fishing industry, which Adrian has never paid much attention to, is enough for them to make a fortune. You must know that the ocean scouts + sea hounds + sea chasers led by the solar storm can harvest the sea.
As long as the goods are simply preserved and transported to the interior of the Nanfeng Forest, they will be quite rare and precious seafood, and the profits will be very generous.
Of course, it was not that no chamber of commerce paid attention to the tea trade. On the second day after the freedmen were free to move around, Adrian received many applications for an interview, and also received many requests to celebrate the realization of the solar storm.
The gifts given in the name of recruiting free people, although these gifts cannot be compared with what Adrian gained from the ruins of Hectora, in general, they can only be described as rich, at least the total value is more than
Adrian received those gifts at his coming-of-age ceremony.
Adrian is not greedy. He returned all those gifts. With his current level of endowment, there is no need to covet these small gains, because Adrian is really not prepared to let others participate in the tea trade. He now has three kings.
With the court's endorsement, I can now eat alone with peace of mind, and no one dares to make any mistakes.
Everything was developing in an orderly manner, and Adrian returned to practicing his archery skills after fifteen days of rest. Following the tutorials left by Aragund, Adrian opened the next level of strength.
He needs to hone his shooting skills. Only level 21 can become a Holy Spirit. Adrian is only level 12, so there is still a long way to go.
But fate always seems to prevent Adrian from relaxing. On this day, just when Adrian shot another satisfying sword, Ralph, Harper and Becky came to the shooting training ground hand in hand, watching La
Wolf had a solemn look on his face, and Adrian knew something had happened again, and he was very pessimistic.
"What is it, Ralph?" Adrian asked Ralph after shooting another arrow.
"Bad news, Lord."
"What?"
"According to Miss Becky's inquiries, the news of Trump's death in our hands has been confirmed by Starry. We will soon face a new enemy."
"So we need to strengthen maritime patrols? After all, no family can be trusted."
"I'm afraid it's even worse. In addition to coastal defense, we also need to strengthen patrols near the town. Although it is impossible for Starry to send a large number of troops, they are sending blood and bone pirates who are best at assassination..."
