Chapter 398 Changes in Qixing Territory 2

"To be fair, if I were to govern, I would probably be in debt." Weilin smiled self-deprecatingly.

Baird heard this and said seriously: "My Lord, everyone has their own strengths, and this cannot be generalized. You are more important than you think."

"Really?" Weilin said with some uncertainty.

Looking back on the past, Weilin felt that he was trying every way to slack off, except for working hard for a period of time in the early stage of development. In the past two years, under the supervision of Kyle, he began to practice hard.

"My Lord, if it weren't for you, I might not have achieved what I have today, Cassius would not have grown into a golden rank, Raymondo would not have the ability to manage a huge business, and even Kyle might still be an inconspicuous serf now."

"Hahaha, maybe without me, you would have different opportunities."

He always has a point of view that everyone is his own protagonist.

"Maybe, but without you, we would definitely not be at our current height." Baird's tone was unquestionable.

Seeing this, Weilin said nothing more. Everyone has his own point of view.

"Come here." Weilin turned his head and looked at a little blonde girl, who was Baird's daughter, and then waved at her.

The little blonde girl ran towards Weilin very boldly, hugged his thighs, and looked at each other with two big watery eyes.

Weilin picked her up and asked with a smile: "What's your name, how old are you?"

"My Lord..."

"What do you say as a father? Isn't it better to let the child speak for himself?" Before Baird finished speaking, Weilin waved to interrupt him.

"Okay."

Seeing her father, who used to be majestic, show this expression, the little girl became more curious about the lord.

"My name is Isufiel, I'm five years old this year, my father is Baird, and my mother is Yieta."

"How does your father treat your mother? Is he busy with work every day?" Weilin touched the cheek of the little blonde girl Isufiel with his hand and asked gently.

"Although my father is very busy, he takes one day a week to accompany me, my younger brother and sister, my mother, Angel's mother, and Odalis's mother." Isufiel pointed his fingers and narrated word by word.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at managing your family."

Although Weilin didn't name anyone, Baird knew what his master meant, and smiled proudly. This was the second thing he was proud of besides handling government affairs.

Compared to the serious and steady, meticulous work in the past, Baird has changed a little now, at least he likes to show off more than before.

"What do you want to do when you grow up?"

"Become a knight, I want to ride a griffin and fly in the sky." Isufiel talked about his dream, his eyes lit up, and he was very excited.

"Hahaha, a good wish, I believe you can make it come true."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Thank you, Lord."

"You are a child with dreams. Your father and I still have some things to do. You go to your mother first."

"Yes."

Weilin put Isufiel on the ground, took out a gold coin and put it in her hand, touched her little head, and let her play alone.

"How is the development going?"

"Very smoothly. According to your instructions, this time the development is to the southwest, and 13,000 square kilometers of land will be included in the Qixing Territory. This area is divided into ten counties, and each county has a population of no less than 5,000."

"All of them are purchased serfs and slaves."

Faced with Weilin's inquiry, Baird answered: "My lord, this is not the case. The total population of this area is 130,000, of which 50,000 are purchased from other places, and the remaining 80,000 people are all migrated from Qixing County and Lansha County by my subordinates."

"You did this, and Andrew didn't fight you to death." Weilin said with some surprise. Lansha County didn't have many people to begin with. How many people would be lost by Baird's operation.

"This is a helpless solution. At most, when the kingdom carries out large-scale population migration, Andrew will be compensated." Baird replied with some helplessness.

If you want to develop, you must have population. Anyway, Qixing County, which he directly governs, also bleeds a lot, and nearly 50,000 people have been migrated out.

"I plan to set up two new counties in the newly developed areas, and then..."

"My Lord, Andrew has a lot of talents under him. If he can bring out a hundred or eighty talents in governance, he can definitely make a new county run." Baird took the initiative and revealed Andrew's background. He couldn't suffer the loss alone.

"Okay, you send a grassroots official from a county, and Andrew's Lansha County sends a grassroots official from a county. This matter is settled."

"My Lord is wise." Baird smiled and complimented from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, there is another thing I need to report to you." Baird suddenly remembered and said to Weilin.

"Tell me, what is the important matter."

"Lord Brian got married."

"Huh?" Weilin heard the news and widened his eyes. His cousin got married, how could he not know.

Seeing this, Baird bowed his head and replied: "My Lord, Lord Brian got married in March of the second year after you left. I went to congratulate him on your behalf and sent him a gift. At that time, it was the critical period of the war. The border was blocked and letters were not allowed to be sent privately. Later, I forgot about it. Please forgive me."

"It's not your fault. You don't have to do this. I just didn't expect that cousin Brian would get married." Weilin helped Baird up and said with emotion.

"Who is her wife, do you know?"

"Lord Brian's wife is named Eleanor Axe, formerly known as Eleanor Lysander. She is the eighth granddaughter of the current Earl Lysander. Her father is the third son of Earl Lysander and serves as a staff officer in the Sixth Legion of the Kingdom. Her mother is from the Melisander family and is the fifth daughter of Earl Melisander."

"Not bad, my aunt has a good eye."

From noon to afternoon, Weilin was chatting with his guardian knights to understand their basic situation.

After walking around, Weilin calculated in his mind that, except for Cassius, the children of Baird and the other eleven guardian knights added up to 23.

Thinking of this, Weilin silently mourned for Cassius, who had been married for seven years without an heir, for three seconds.

With the recommendation of several other people, Weilin met more than ten talents, but he still needed people to check the background of these people carefully.

In a few days, Kyle had to send the shadow guard to investigate the background.

If there is a problem with the identity and background, then transfer it to another place.

If there is a bad intention, then deal with it secretly.
