The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.

Good food, good wine, and beautiful women.

When these things come at you all at once, no matter how strong your willpower is, it is difficult to withstand such an attack.

Just a few days after taking over the territory, Duke Feng was surprised to find that his subordinates, who had been strictly disciplined, had begun to behave unruly.

Several knights, relying on their noble status, actually went to collect taxes privately.

After intimidation and threats and getting the money, they turned around and went into the health club again.

That thing called the Great Sword is even scarier than the whisper of the devil. It actually made the knight lose his sense of propriety and honor!

"You disobeyed orders and destroyed the unity of the territory. Don't make excuses to me. Accepting the punishment is the only thing you need to do!"

When the knight, with a smell of alcohol on his face, was brought before Grand Duke Feng, he had no awareness that he had done anything wrong.

Because that’s what they all do in the royal capital.

They only targeted those useless civilians and did not harm the interests of the nobles, so when Grand Duke Feng imposed the punishment, their faces were full of indignation.

"They are all smart people, the elites I specially selected. How could they make such a stupid mistake!"

While listening to the sounds of whipping outside, Duke Feng discussed with his sweaty assistant beside him.

"We haven't completely taken over this place yet, how dare they cause trouble everywhere!"

Seeing that Duke Feng really didn't understand, the assistant answered tremblingly.

"Grand Duke, civilians are not well-received. In the eyes of the nobles, they are movable property. The knights do not think they have made any mistakes, so your punishment is unreasonable."

Duke Feng slammed the table angrily, but then he could only sigh helplessly.

When he was in the royal capital, Duke Feng devoted all his energy to competing with nobles of the same status.

Now that he suddenly has to manage a territory himself, Duke Feng realized that the gap in cognition was so huge.

Grand Duke von did not understand the thoughts of his knights or the civilians, and he had never paid attention to these issues before.

"So, the other nobles are like me. Why did the situation change in the North?"

The assistant took out a pile of parchments and wanted to explain to Duke Feng the correlation between power, economy, and population.

After being glared at fiercely by Lord Feng, the assistant quickly took back the book and explained in his own words.

"There are no great nobles here. Count Lucy has given these people too many conveniences. This is the first time I have seen a commoner dare to ask His Excellency the Grand Duke to administer justice."

That’s right, the reason why Duke Feng was so angry today was because his horse was stopped by a group of civilians.

Just as the knight next to him was about to drive the people away, he saw a group of people kneeling on the ground, shouting loudly about their grievances.

The Grand Duke's men forcibly took their money, and the victims came before the Grand Duke.

Mr. Feng knew that there must be someone behind this, but it was not easy to deal with such a soft knife.

As soon as the sound of whips outside stopped, soldiers ran in to report the situation.

"Oh no, Grand Duke, those civilians haven't left yet, and they need to return the money that was taken!"

"Do they want to rebel?"

This time, Duke Feng really could no longer tolerate it. Allowing a group of civilians to show off in front of him was a provocation to him.

"I have already punished the knights who caused the trouble. What else do they want?"

"Sir, those people said that the thirty gold coins that were stolen were the payment for materials of the glass factory. Without this money, the glass factory would have to stop working."

When Duke Feng heard the information reported by his subordinates, his head buzzed.

Why did he come to this remote place in the north with all his wealth?

Of course, it is for the factory that can continuously produce gold coins.

Now you tell me that my knight has to go golden chicken but not lay eggs, how can this be possible!

"Make those troublemakers pay for the materials!"

After Duke Feng gave the order, the soldiers rushed out to carry it out.

After the chaos, everything returned to silence.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the knights who had been whipped before ran in to find Grand Duke Feng.

"Sir, we should not allow the North to continue to be so lax. These commoners dare to ride on the heads of our nobles. This is disrespectful to you!"

The knights who were whipped were full of resentment. They had never suffered such humiliation when they were in the royal capital.

These northerners are also sick. It is their obligation to pay taxes to the nobles, yet they actually dare to come to their door and ask for the money back!

Mr. Feng still felt sorry for his men. In fact, he didn't think that his men had done anything wrong, but they shouldn't have robbed the factory's money.

If you really need money to enjoy yourself, you can rob civilians who have nothing to do with the factory.

One day passed like this, and the next day, Duke Feng was pulled out of the soft big bed.

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke! This is bad! The glass factory and the wool factory have both stopped working!"

Duke Feng shook his still unclear head and found that it was his trusted financial assistant who woke him up.

Lord Feng patted the quilt beside him, allowing the beautiful girl, who had drank with him last night, to lie down peacefully.

"What happened?"

Duke Feng picked up the exquisite utensils and poured himself a glass of overnight boiled water.

After drinking the cold water, he finally sobered up a little.

"The civilians who clashed with the knights yesterday were the managers and foremen of the glass factory and wool factory. Your Excellency, didn't you ask them to make up the money for the missing materials themselves? They went back and ran away overnight."

Grand Duke Feng was stunned. He meant to let the knight who made the mistake make up the payment for the goods. How could it be said that the civilians should make up for it themselves?

But this is not important.

"Those people ran away, can't we just catch them back?"

"They...ran away to the Freyr family's territory and received higher salaries and positions. It's impossible for them to come back."

Freyr's few words were like a wake-up call, which made Grand Duke Feng completely sober.

How could Grand Duke Feng, who is from a family with equal power to his own, forget that there is a little master next to the Freyr family!

The people cannot be brought back for sure. They are just a few of them. Without them, will the factory be unable to operate?

Duke Feng doesn't believe this!

"Gather my knights. Since those people are playing dirty, we should be tougher!"

Duke Feng originally wanted to take over these factories and industries peacefully, but now it seems that he must show strength.

"My Feng family is not easy to bully!"

Duke Feng, riding on a fine horse, holding his advisor in one hand, rode straight to the glass factory.

The glass factory had been suppressed by his knights, and all the workers were concentrated in the open space in the middle of the factory.

Duke Feng glanced at the detained workers and found that they were no different from the civilians he knew.

His eyes were evasive and he didn't have the courage to resist his authority.

"What are they all doing here? Let them get back to work. Anyone who dares to slack off will be whipped!"
