Chapter 68 Become A Dragon Knight, The First Phase Of The Territory Development Plan Is Completed
One week later.
After this period of dissemination, the news of Rennes' promotion to Sky Knight has completely fermented.
Benefiting from this, Rennes' reputation in the Rhine region has increased even more.
He has also become the acknowledged strongest in the Rhine region.
His prestige has greatly shaken.
Nobles who come to the Habers Manor every day to establish connections are endless.
They almost trample over the threshold of Rennes' home.
Especially those weaker small nobles.
Sending gifts, proposing marriage alliances,
They will do anything to cling onto the rising thigh of the Habers family.
However,
These "insignificant" benefits obviously cannot touch Rennes' heartstrings.
Instead, they annoy him to no end.
He doesn't even have the mood to sow seeds anymore.
Therefore,
He decisively chooses to close the door and refuse guests.
Hoping to calm down this storm with time.
To make his mind a little quieter.
Half a month later.
This storm not only did not calm down as Rennes had hoped,
But it also had a tendency to spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Lance.
After all,
This matter is too big.
There are only a few Sky Knights in the entire Principality of Lance.
Now suddenly there is one more, which will definitely affect the established order of the Principality of Lance.
Such a major event.
As long as one is not a fool, no one will overlook it.
That's why
The news of Rennes breaking through as a Sky Knight spread so quickly.
Due to the widespread dissemination of the news,
Nobles from other regions have already come to visit Rennes on purpose.
However,
After experiencing the previous storm, Rennes is already tired of this meaningless noble social game.
Directly hand over all these people to the steward and wife Janice for reception.
Focus on dealing with the related affairs of the territory development.
Of course.
Planting for the wives is the top priority, and Rennes naturally won't neglect it.
Regarding Rennes' refusal to show up.
Although most of the nobles who came from afar are dissatisfied.
But due to Rennes' strength and status, they dare not say anything.
However.
There are always some arrogant and domineering second-generation nobles who can't see the situation clearly.
They think Rennes is despising them.
After drinking a few jin of horse urine, they openly badmouth Rennes and express their dissatisfaction.
They even want to unite other nobles to exclude the Habus family.
Facing these people, Rennes naturally won't be polite.
After all.
This is his territory.
If he doesn't show these offensive people some color, wouldn't anyone dare to step on him in the future?
No need to say.
Rennes directly ordered his knights to give these brainless fools a good beating.
This lesson had a great effect in deterring others.
From then on, no second-generation nobles dared to talk nonsense in the city of Xiongying.
Skipping over this little incident.
One month later.
Under Rennes' dedicated cultivation.
Except for Janice and others who had just completed production two months ago, Jessica, Leila, Murphy, Betty, and Charlene all became pregnant.
Rennes once again found himself in a situation where he had long spears but nowhere to use them.
"It seems that sometimes being too capable is not a good thing."
Rennes sighed helplessly.
Before obtaining the super reproductive talent, the efficiency of getting pregnant was not this strong.
It used to take several months for a few wives to get pregnant.
Now it's all done in one month.
Of course.
There is a way to solve this problem.
The best way is undoubtedly to acquire more "good fields."
However.
Sitting with ten wives of different styles, some plump and some slender, Rennes' taste has become quite picky.
Just an ordinary mortal beauty.
Unless she is beautiful enough to make his heart skip a beat, or if it is a marriage of alliance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't marry her.
His current criteria for choosing a wife are:
1. Beautiful enough, which is also the system's standard.
2. She must possess enough strength and qualifications, or she must have a special bloodline.
Only children born like this can have more outstanding qualifications.
The system rewards will also be more generous.
After all,
The basic reward for a golden-level offspring is a hundred times that of a black iron-level offspring.
In other words, you need to have a hundred black iron-level offspring to match the benefits of a golden-level offspring.
In reality, this gap will only be even greater.
In this situation,
Rennes naturally leans towards high-quality offspring.
"If I could marry the silver dragon girl I had a chance encounter with before, that would be great."
As he thought about it, this idea suddenly popped into Rennes' mind.
That silver dragon girl perfectly meets his requirements.
She is beautiful and exquisite, with a strong bloodline, strength, and qualifications.
If he could have a child with her who possesses the bloodline of a silver dragon, he would definitely receive a system evaluation above golden-level.
However,
Since that wedding banquet ended, that silver dragon girl has disappeared without a trace.
Now, she probably doesn't even know where she went.
Therefore,
Rennes can only silently keep this bold idea of becoming a dragon knight in his heart.
In the blink of an eye,
Another half month has passed.
During this time,
Apart from taking care of his wife during her postpartum recovery and five recently pregnant women, Rennes has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of his territory.
The first phase of the territory development plan is now in its final stages.
But unfortunately, the last two towns encountered problems just as they were about to be completed.
Some of the already built Blackrock city walls have collapsed.
They need to be rebuilt.
According to the family's intelligence organization, Shadow's investigation shows.
The reason for this is because the person in charge of building the city sold the black rocks used to construct the city walls. They then used inferior stone to fill the interior of the walls.
This is what led to this outcome.
Upon learning the cause and effect of this matter, Rennes immediately became angry.
These dogs actually dare to do such a thing behind his back.
It's simply audacious.
No words.
Rennes immediately sent his knights to arrest all those corrupt and profiteering guys.
After recovering the funds, they were all subjected to extreme punishment.
Even the businessmen who bought the black rocks were not spared.
After all,
these guys crossed the line.
Knowing full well that selling the black rocks needed for building the city was infringing on the interests of the Habus family, these greedy individuals dared to accept them directly.
They are completely unworthy of pity.
After killing off all these parasites, Rennes sent people to inspect the other four completed towns.
Fortunately,
no major issues were found.
Redirect your attention to the last two new cities.
This time there were no pests causing trouble in secret.
Under the urging of Rennes,
the construction progress of the two new cities was delayed by two months,
but they are finally completely finished.
After the towns were completed,
Rennes immediately had people send the hundreds of thousands of refugees recruited at the cost of hundreds of gold coins to each of them.
Then, the two towns were named Salt Well Town and Flower Town, respectively.
Salt Well Town was built near a salt-alkali land.
Rennes positioned it for salt production to provide food salt for the millions of people in the territory.
As for Flower Town,
it is located on a vibrant mountain.
Rennes plans to develop flower cultivation there and use their knowledge from past lives to produce perfume, which will be sold at high prices to noble ladies for excessive profits.
After all,
the construction of towns and the recruitment of refugees cost a lot of money.
The Habsburg family's treasury is rapidly decreasing.
If they don't develop new high-profit industries to make up for household expenses,
the second phase of Rennes' territorial development plan will probably progress very slowly.
