Chapter 323: The Just-Started Baroness of Rose
It has to be said that Jasmine Knight really has no business talent. The Rose Baroness only has a huge castle built blocking the road, blocking the only way to the Wizard Tower from the outside world. In front of the castle is a winding river leading to the sea. On both sides of the river There are high cliffs and dense forests. A spacious and solid stone bridge connects the two sides. At this time, the way is also blocked by a tall and majestic castle.
"Rather than a castle, it's actually more like a fortress." Will and Lilith looked at the tall city wall, which was twenty meters high and had patrol guards from time to time. They couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly at the same time.
"Is it really okay to leave the Knight Leader to Sister Jasmine? She won't lose money, right? She can't handle so many things in the Wan Shi House. Can she really handle a huge Knight Leader?" Weir said. I couldn't help but complain.
Lilith nodded repeatedly on the side, but when you speak ill of others, can you avoid the people being discussed? Jasmine's punch made them become more honest.
"You think I want to, but this knighthood belongs to me, and my brother has made it clear that he will not interfere, so what can I do? I can't trust any of the managers my father left behind. This place has great responsibilities, and my subordinates They are all people with strong limbs and simple minds, and I am very disappointed."
Jasmine's face was filled with misery. There was no one in the Wild Wolf mercenary group who was particularly smart and good at management. They were used to taking on tasks and selling their strength.
"In addition to building castles and cultivating farmland, what else have you done during this year?" Weir was very curious. He had never been exposed to such work as territory construction before. Although he had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, his practical hands-on experience was not. Almost zero, Lilith is almost in the same situation.
"There are a lot of them. The construction of the castle is a big part. It involves all aspects of the castle, such as security, defense, residence, life, transportation, etc. It is also equipped with arrow towers, trenches, moats, opening and closing bridges, battlements, and lift gates. Shouldn't you Do you really think that a castle is just a simple thick wall?" At this point, Jasmine suddenly became interested and began to explain bit by bit the strong fortress she had built.
"Lord's mansion, military camp, residence, warehouse, blacksmith shop, stables, lumberyard, quarry, pasture, farmland, waterwheel, these things are all necessary. Do you think running a knight's territory is really that easy? No. It's impossible to have a little overall view." Jasmine counted everything she knew on her fingers, getting more and more excited.
"Well, what about the market? The Baroness is not a fortress. Although the responsibility of the Rose Baroness is to keep ordinary people out and maintain the mystery of the Wizard Tower, it cannot be completely isolated from the outside world. So do you have any plans? A place to communicate with the outside world?" Weir choked Jasmine with one sentence, as he really hadn't thought about this.
"What Auntie just said are all the equipment that ordinary castles need to have, but the Rose Baroness is special. Have you ever considered this speciality? How to increase industry to meet the needs of the Wizard Tower? Have you ever considered using the Baroness as a portal? , do a good job in internal and external circulation?"
"You must know that this is a huge industry. Wizards have always been the most skilled people on this continent, and the resources they control are also the most expensive."
Under Moody's guidance, Lilith already knew what knowledge was the primary productive force, and she also understood many things that she had not understood before.
This aspect accounts for a large part of the reason why the Kendall family has been able to gain a foothold and prosper in Lake City. Their family's wizards actually account for more than 60% of the drug market in Lake City, even if they are only marginal products for some wizard apprentices. , also has such energy.
"This castle,
Was witchcraft used in the construction process? "Weir touched the solid city wall and suddenly felt that the texture of the stone was slightly strange.
This is not like a naturally mined stone, but rather like a stone created using the magic of turning mud into stone. Although this is a zero-level trick, it consumes not a lot of magic power. Generally, only formal wizards will use it on a large scale. , most wizard apprentices cannot use it well.
"The remaining materials for building the wizard tower, ordinary people make mud, the official wizard turns mud into stone, and the wizard apprentice uses the levitation technique to build the building according to the drawings, that's all." Jasmine's was very simple, but Will and Lilith knew about the wizard tower. It's not that simple to build.
The materials produced by turning mud into stone cannot meet the requirements of the main building of the wizard tower. It can only be regarded as an auxiliary or filler. The wizard tower cannot use so much, but the castle needs a lot. You must know that this is a building that can accommodate A large castle where thousands of people live.
All the family members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group live here. They go out early in the morning and return home late every day to hunt and farm. They are not rich and powerful, but they will never die of hunger. With the Wizard Tower behind them, some people who are good at cooking and diligent in cleaning will occasionally be killed. Hire help and earn a little extra money.
"Based on your previous suggestions, this grocery store was built. Daily necessities for wizards and wizard apprentices can be purchased from here. You can also place orders for them to purchase. It just requires a little more handling fee."
"This is a tavern, a place where you can relax and spend time, and it is also a place where tasks are posted. Wizards' tasks and wizard apprentice tasks can be posted here. Of course, people outside who want to seek help from wizards also need to go here." Bai This was a broker's bar, which Weier suggested she build, but it didn't look like the business was particularly prosperous.
"Don't look at the fact that there are not many people here, but once there is a task, the benefits are definitely huge. They will carefully analyze every business and the certification is completed, and the remuneration is also very good. The gold coins are secondary, and the potions provided by the wizards and wizard apprentices And extraordinary items are the biggest benefits.”
Jasmine pointed to the huge warehouse in the distance: "Most of the food stored there is grain. According to Lilith's suggestion, grain is no longer collected but purchased. 50% of the grain is purchased at market prices, which makes these territorial residents very satisfied and enthusiastic. It's also gotten a lot taller."
"The owner of the bakery is an old chef sent by the family. His craftsmanship is top-notch in the entire Drake City and can fully satisfy the tastes of wizards and wizard apprentices. The slaughterhouse is run by some people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. I They only care about the quality, and they are responsible for the rest." Even though Jasmine said this, she actually didn't care about anything and was only responsible for the general direction, and many of these directions were provided by Will and Lilith.
"Lant, you have recruited the high-level and mid-level warriors of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. As a non-staff member of the Wanshiwu House, you do not need to interfere with the business of the tavern. You will select and price the tasks. Externally, you will deal with wizards and wizard apprentices. You are responsible for all communication and communication. Sister Jasmine is only responsible for the management of the territory." Weir's words made Jasmine's heart move, and she seemed to have thought of something, and she nodded lightly without refuting.
"I will take over the blacksmith shop. Magic rune equipment will no longer be a secret here, but an ordinary commodity, but permission is required for external circulation. Leya, you need to open a medical center, Lilith, your jewelry store It’s almost time to start.”
"Luke, if you are still here, just train with the guards. Most of these guards are from Mabst City. They turned out to be mercenaries. There should be no obstacles for you to communicate with them." Weir arranged in an orderly manner. Work.
"The black merchant needs to open a special antique store that sells extraordinary items. Whether they are raw materials, finished products, or other items, as long as they are related to extraordinary items, my magic rune equipment and Lilith's magic jewelry will be provided to you here first. .”
"Luo, Nicole, you are responsible for protecting Wei Ya and Mi. You can also train the guards in your free time. Father, the city defense has been handed over to the guards. Is it okay for you to be responsible for public security?" Weir turned to the city defense army, Flo Rhett nodded in approval.
city defense? There is really no need for this. There is a hidden wizard tower three to five miles away. There is also a hidden line of defense outside the city. The city defense patrol is just for show. That group of people should have other tasks. I take this with me. Being responsible for public security in the city defense army is already the easiest and safest job.
