Werther practiced magic until midnight yesterday and was finally able to control this magic ring.
Early in the morning, he woke up and couldn't sleep anymore, so he got dressed and went downstairs. While stretching and yawning, he slowly sat down on the chair in the hall. After sitting down, he lay on the table and looked lazily.
The figures of servants busy at work.
"Your Highness, you woke up really early today. Let's have some breakfast in the hall." Wile put down a glass of milk on the big table where Werther was lying. The cup was neither big nor small, with a capacity of about five or six mouthfuls.
Wile did not forget to explain: "This is fresh milk specially bought by the maids from the ranch."
Ranch? When Werther heard this word, he couldn't help but think of the extremely unpleasant milk he drank before. However, the milk from the ranch should no longer have that weird smell, he thought.
However, I am still slightly worried.
Werther lay on the table, moved his eyes close to the cup, and stared straight at the milky white liquid.
"Um……"
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Are you sure this milk is really drinkable?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the smell of milk in the pasture is normal now. There was a long queue this morning."
"Okay, I'll believe you for now."
Werther tilted the cup toward his mouth and poured a little into his mouth. After tasting it, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Then he sat up straight, grabbed the cup and drank all the milk in it.
"The real taste of pasture milk is so delicious. It's no wonder that a small town evolved from it."
"Your Highness, would you like another drink?"
"Yes, yes." Werther pointed desperately at his cup.
Werther was drinking milk and thinking, now that I have a magic ring and have a long-term plan to practice magic, it's time to think about another important thing, which is the long-term management of the town and how to transfer my territory to it.
If you manage it well, you will be more powerful to fight against Duke Dark.
In terms of town management, the problems of farms, granaries and pastures have been solved. The basic food of the people has been guaranteed. Next, we have to consider other things. I see that there are no shops or other buildings in Dawn Town.
, which is very different from the prosperous Frank City. It would be great if more workshops and shops could be built in the town.
When Werther came to his senses, he realized that he had already had several drinks.
"Ugh~" Werther covered his mouth and said to Wile beside him, "I drank too much. I feel so sick. I don't want to drink anymore."
"Your Highness, would you like some bread? It might make you feel better." Wile handed over the bread.
"Well, I'm very full now. Do you want to stuff me to death? However, the problem of the ranch has finally been solved, which is a good thing."
"That's because His Highness has the ability to help the people solve these problems. If Wright were the lord, he would never be able to do this."
When Werther heard this, he suddenly felt that he could still be a good lord under the guidance of the parchment.
The parchment didn't give any instructions today. I can't just waste my time like this. I can't just practice magic without doing anything else. Continuously practicing magic without rest will harm my body.
Yes, why don’t I think about what to do next?
At this time, the voice of the parchment sounded: new task, try to make your own plan for the next stage of the town's management.
Huh? I really have this mission! The parchment is really reassuring to me, so don’t
Are you afraid that I will come up with outrageous plans? Werther thought to himself, but since the parchment has said so, why not just follow the instructions.
"Wile, I am going to make a good plan for the future management of the town today." Witte said looking at Wile, his eyes radiating confidence at this time.
"Your Highness, you are so powerful, you actually thought of this. Dawn Town has been in decline for more than ten years before I met a good lord like you. It is a blessing after all the hardships."
"Let's not talk so much, now I'm going to start thinking about a plan!" Werther stood up excitedly, clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were shining, and he looked high-spirited.
"Your Highness escaped from the palace and came to Dawn Town, where he can finally start a career." Wile took out a handkerchief beside him and wiped his tears silently, "It's really not easy."
"I'm doing okay so far, mainly because the Werther before was so unlucky, ugh." Werther muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say, Your Highness? What did you mean by the previous Werther?"
"Oh, I mean, after I left the palace, I had a new opportunity, as if I was reborn." Werther could only try to conceal what he had just missed.
"So that's what it means. When I heard what His Highness said just now, I thought that His Highness before and His Highness now were not the same person. I was shocked." Wile patted his chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uh!" Werther felt very embarrassed, "Of course not, you are overthinking."
"Well, I guess I'm overthinking it."
"Well, before Margery wakes up, Uncle Tom, Wile, you and I can go to the study to discuss it, and Wile will help me take notes."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Werther brought Tom and Wile to the study. Looking at the study that symbolized the lord's status, he couldn't help but feel proud from the bottom of his heart. Although Daybreak Town was a small fiefdom, he was confident that he could make his power stronger.
"Your Highness, what do you think now?" Tom asked.
"The issues regarding crops and milk are now resolved, but there is still room for improvement in terms of food."
"what do you mean?"
"For example, now everyone knows about onions and garlic, but we can open up a piece of land to grow them specifically, and when the harvest is good, we can sell the excess to other places."
"What His Highness said makes sense, but what should be done specifically?"
"I see that there is a lot of uncultivated land in Dawn Town. It would be a pity if we don't make good use of it. We can hire some people to open up a piece of land to grow garlic and onions, sell them to the people and neighboring towns, and the money will continue to grow.
For the operation of Daybreak Town.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, I would like to know, apart from the ranches making cheese, is there any place in Daybreak Town that specializes in making cheese?"
"Your Highness, the only place to make cheese in Daybreak Town is the pasture."
"Sigh, I saw that the ranch has very few tools for making cheese. They seem to mainly sell fresh milk."
"Yes, the people of Dawn Town mostly buy their own milk to make cheese."
"How about we build a cheese processing workshop and hire people to make dairy products. Also, the previously abandoned winery can be rebuilt. When the grape harvest is good next year, the winemaking work can be restarted."
"Your Highness, these ideas of yours are very bold!" Wile said while writing down.
"Well, I'm thinking about the town. If I want the people of Daybreak Town to live
To do better and make Daybreak Town stronger, we need to be bolder."
Werther thought to himself, in fact, he didn't know if this would work, but he had already reached this point, so he could only use his best imagination to proceed.
"Your Highness." Tom asked with some worry, "Dawn Town is poor. Will there be insufficient financial resources to suddenly build so many workshops?"
"As for the financial resources, just ask the financial officer to solve it." Witte said easily.
"But Daybreak Town has been without a lord for the past twelve years, and its management has long been in chaos. I don't know if the financial officer has enough money to support His Highness's plan."
"Well, it doesn't matter. If we don't have enough financial resources, we can just think of another way, or we can adjust the town's business plan."
"What His Highness said makes sense. Now that His Highness knows what's going on, I'm relieved." Tom said, "Then what kind of workshop does Your Highness want to build?"
“I also thought that when the people are busy at work, they may have little or no time to make bread, resulting in the staple food they eat being very rough.
If you can allow them to buy finely made bread at any time, it will not only improve their quality of life, but also allow them to devote more energy to other aspects of life.
For example, having more energy devoted to work will bring them more wealth and make the town more prosperous; and allowing them to devote more energy to their families will increase the happiness of the town."
"Yes." Wile nodded, "Although His Highness's idea is nonsense, it seems to be quite reasonable."
Tom also said: "The bread eaten by the civilians in Daybreak Town is indeed very rough and even a little difficult to swallow. Your Highness's idea is indeed a good one."
Werther lay on the table, supported his head with his hands, thought for a while, and said: "This is all I can think of at the moment. Do you have any other ideas?"
Tom shook his head.
Wile's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think we can build a zoo of animals."
After hearing this, Werther tried his best to keep his expression normal. He thought to himself, doesn't Wile have any idea how much it would cost to build a zoo of beasts? Where could I find so many beasts? Now it is necessary to build a zoo of beasts in Daybreak Town.
A zoo? Did Wile think this was the backyard of the royal palace in Frank City?
Werther resisted the urge to complain and said in a normal tone: "Okay, I have thought of so many things today, so Wile must have remembered them all."
"Remember it, Your Highness, but the Garden of Beasts..." Wile was gently touching his hair with the end of the pen, thinking, "How do you plan to build it, Your Highness?"
When Wile raised his head, he found that Werther had disappeared.
"Wile." Tom was looking at Wile with kind eyes, "There is no way to build a zoo of animals in Daybreak Town now."
"Oh I see."
As soon as Werther left the study, the sound of the parchment sounded again:
I got the plan for the next stage of town management. Congratulations on getting the title of junior lord. The next task is to cultivate new fields and hire people to grow garlic and onions.
Huh? Even if you get the plan this way! Just do what I just thought about. Is it really reliable? Or is the parchment just lazy?
The voice of the parchment roll came again: You guessed it, I have been a little lazy recently. Of course, this is also a test for you.
Huh? There is such an operation, and I feel very uneasy! However, since the parchment has given corresponding guidance, it should mean that the plan just now should be reliable.
