Chapter 479 Planning
The night was deep.
Wushan Castle, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down, along with Roning's wedding room.
Blanche had fallen asleep in Roning's arms.
Although she was a high-level magician and a transcendent, the physical fitness of a magician was not very strong. In addition, after a busy day, she was already too tired to open her eyes.
Roning felt the smoothness against his body and looked at the exposed shoulders. The passionate scene just now emerged in his mind, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He kissed the other person's forehead gently, then got up and walked to the window.
The starry sky outside was bright, as if it was within reach.
Roning took a deep breath, feeling the coolness of the night and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.
"Now I have completely established myself in the other world."
Although his strength was only at level nine, at least it was impeccable in the Orlant continent.
In addition to his strength, he not only has the status of a marquis of the kingdom and the king's son-in-law, but also has allies who support him.
Needless to say, the nobles of Wushan Territory are unwavering supporters of Lulans. Now that Lulans fully supports Roning, they are no exception.
Although the small nobles surrounding Moonlight Valley have a good relationship with nobles such as Ferens, sitting on the fence is always the characteristic of small nobles.
As long as there is no major change on Roning's side, they will not easily tear their faces with Roning. After all, who would have trouble with money and resources?
As for the top nobles, Roning also has supporters and collaborators.
First of all, the kingdom's most powerful magician Bellola has agreed to cooperate with Wubei Territory, and even in the subsequent conversation with Sophia, the other party has revealed the idea of going to the Crescent Continent and the City of Dawn.
Secondly, thanks to Elron's visit, the Principality of Gistana has also reached a joint planting of flame grass with Wubei Territory.
Moreover, under Elrond's suggestion, Duke Vargis has agreed to entrust his frail grandson Ganor to Elrond for personal care, and arranged for several knights to take care of him in Wubei Territory.
This operation means revealing to the outside world the closeness of the relationship between the two parties.
Under these circumstances, the Principality of Ferens, the Principality of Vera and the Screaming Island are estimated to no longer act recklessly as before.
With the situation stabilized, Ronin can devote himself to development.
In the early days, he focused on porcelain and silk. Now these two things have appeared on many occasions and have won the favor of the nobles. He can completely leave the promotion and sales to the business officials in the territory.
At this stage, compared with these commercial things, Ronin is more concerned about the use of steam engines.
This is the foundation of the industrial revolution and the beginning of the industrialization of the territory.
In addition to the already determined construction of steam ships, steam trains, and transportation railways, the use of steam power in textiles, mining, metal smelting, etc. also needs to be explored.
Not everything needs to be done by Ronin himself. After all, the idea has been made and the first steam engine has appeared. Simon, Sophia and even the magicians and scholars from Crystal City can all propose transformation suggestions based on this.
Most of the lower-class civilians are illiterate, but the upper-class elites still have brains.
However, the only problem is that the core components of the steam engine can only be made by Ronin, Sophia and Carlos at present, and Simon or other craftsmen cannot process them precisely.
Only when the craftsmen's technical level and manufacturing equipment are available can Ronin and others be liberated.
In addition to development, preparations for war should also be put on the agenda.
For Ronin, sending troops to the Kingdom of Tricia is not only to upgrade his title to gain attribute points and lay the foundation for the establishment of a kingdom in the future, but also to eliminate the aliens who have taken root in the enemy country.
In order to deal with the latter's threat, Ronin had a detailed discussion with Rydar and Sophia, and decided to let Knight Harmon, who was good at hiding his whereabouts and collecting intelligence, leave Moonlight Valley and go to Molten Principality to investigate the specific situation, and at the same time establish an intelligence network of Wubei Territory in Tricia Kingdom.
In this way, if there is any situation, Ronin and others will not be completely in the dark and rely entirely on the royal family to provide intelligence.
Lulans has suffered from false intelligence once, and Ronin does not want to suffer a second time.
"Ronin, why are you still not sleeping? What are you thinking about?"
Blanche called softly to pull Ronin's attention back from his thoughts.
He turned around and saw the beauty on the bed sitting up, exposing a large area of snow-white skin, which was particularly attractive.
"I'm wondering when we can have a child."
He walked over and said, "How about we work on it again?"
Blanche lowered her head shyly, pulling the sheets and said, "I... I'm in a bit of pain, I can't do it anymore, how about tomorrow, tomorrow?"
"Hahaha~"
Roning returned to the bed and hugged him and lay down, "I'm just kidding you, there's a long time to come, let's wait until you recover."
The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning after breakfast, Diane took Blanche and the butler to count the gifts sent by the nobles.
Roning always gave this kind of work to the officials of the territory, and he only knew the final result.
But now there is a mistress in the territory, it is also right for her to ask about financial matters.
And Blanche was born as a royal princess, and received an education that was many times higher than that of the outside world. Her abilities in all aspects were definitely not inferior to those who changed their careers halfway, such as Wilson and Chahar.
She was willing to take care of these things, and Roning was relieved and happy.
Roning, accompanied by Lu Lans, held a territory meeting at Wushanbao Fortress.
Speaking of which, the banquet last night was not only to celebrate the marriage of Roning and Blanche, but also to build a platform for many nobles in Wushan Territory to communicate with Roning.
What they wanted was nothing more than cooperation with Roning.
After all, Moonlight Valley was so big, with so many idle lands and houses. Roning could open his arms to other nobles for cooperation, and he would not exclude the nobles of Wushan Territory.
Roning naturally agreed to this.
For him, whoever he cooperated with was not cooperation?
Anyway, what he ultimately needed was more food and more labor. As long as the people arranged by the nobles could obey his command and mobilization, there would be a basis for cooperation.
After some negotiations, Ronin felt that the social situation where the nobles controlled all the affairs of their respective territories and even the population had somewhat restricted his development.
Imagine, how good it would be if the population of all towns in Wushan Territory could be moved at will?
In the final analysis, it was the mode of noble fiefdom that restricted the operation.
So Ronin thought about it and decided that if there would be fiefdoms in the future, some power would not be delegated.
It would be best to adopt the fiefdom system, giving nobles or meritorious officials a certain amount of land, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of the land, but not having the political ruling and management rights of the region.
However, reform is not something that can be done overnight. At present, Ronin can only follow the existing social framework and gradually promote these deep-level changes when his strength is more stable in the future or when he establishes a country.
Anyway, time is very abundant for him. After all, the Prideful Sun Knight theoretically has a lifespan of two centuries, so he is not in a hurry. (End of this chapter)
