Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After the northern wasteland entered autumn, the temperature difference between day and night became larger, and the weather became colder day by day.

Harvey, who originally needed to meditate late at night, spent the whole morning in the warm bedroom on the third floor of the castle and reluctant to get up.

Although he has not yet obtained the identity of a noble lord on the surface, as the only ruling class in the pioneering territory, he has the right to snore his hands and sleep in.

Especially when the hot water heating system that was first installed in the castle was activated, it further encouraged Harvey to feel bad when he didn't want to leave the bedroom and study.

By the time he finally came to noon, Reiner had returned to the castle for the third time to urge him to report on his work.

"The batch of thick cotton cloth that was ordered in advance from the Longshi Chamber of Commerce has already made 500 sets of standard military uniforms at the garment factory and sent it to the River Valley outpost this morning."

The river valley outpost has now firmly taken root at the forefront of the territory's resistance to evil orcs. Harvey divided the total number of 1,000 territorial soldiers into three batches and rotated to garrison on a monthly basis, which not only ensures the morale of the team but also helps in actual combat training.

He leisurely twisted up a piece of soft white bread, carefully applied it evenly with the wild berry jam, a specialty of the territory, and then stuffed it into his mouth with great satisfaction.

"Well...not only should we consider their winter heating, but also pay attention to the logistics of food. You should communicate with Pierce frequently. Last time Pierce mentioned that most of the soldiers suffer from night blindness..."

Harvey pointed at the heart-filled table with a knife, "We should pay attention to the food logistics of the soldiers, and provide them with more animal offal, fruits, fish, and newly planted carrots and other vegetables. Deliver it in time after harvest.”

Reiner nodded as if he understood and honestly recorded Harvey's request.

"The project progress of the territory wall is very fast, and the construction of the northern section of about six kilometers has been basically completed..."

Reiner closed the booklet, but he was a little reluctant to speak.

"Do you want to say that because of such a huge project in the new city wall, the fiscal expenditure of the territory has exceeded the expenditure again?" Harvey put down half of the milk and exposes Reiner's thoughts at first glance.

"It's true, sir, since last month, the taxes, house rents, and sales revenue of various commodities in the convenience market have basically no balance after paying the salary of the normal working people. If you don’t add paper money and gold, after this month, the people who work on the city wall construction site will not receive their salary…”

Harvey thought for a moment and asked back, "What are the feedback you received after the policy announcement for housing loan purchase is posted?"

"The number of people who came to inquire and intend to purchase has surged, reaching about 1,000 households, but the number of people who actually paid for it is less than 500..."

Printing paper money in the territory is indeed the primary measure for Harvey to alleviate his financial pressure, but the territory is now unable to achieve 100% self-sufficient property. All goods that need to be imported and purchased still need to be paid out of his own pocket. , use real money and silver coins to purchase from the Chamber of Commerce.

After all, I have made my own acre of three-point land, but no one will admit the colorful pieces of paper he printed.

I can’t raise five thousand civilians in the territory by relying solely on myself to grab the leeks of high-level spellcasters on the magic network!

Harvey sighed and said slowly, "Another batch of dollars are printed enough to pay for next month's salary, but in any case, it is necessary to ensure that the food prices remain unchanged and no penny is allowed to rise!"

"In addition, the access restrictions on the convenience market will be relaxed to allow the entrusted people to trade their additional products freely, and the tax rate will still be charged at the original proportion..."

...

Yurio has just arrived at the pioneering world for less than half a month, but his life is not very smooth.

Unlike most civilians in the territory who were originally refugees in the wasteland, he was an apprentice knight from a small border priest in the South Continent. He was unfortunately captured during the battle with the evil orcs last winter, cut off one arm and was then attacked by the evil orcs. He was captured and returned to the northern border.

During his capture, the knight's sense of honor made him want to take the initiative to end his life countless times to avoid being insulted by these barbarians again, but they were all stopped by a kind old man who was captured together.

The old man named Colun is now with him to live in the territory. They were rescued and taken back after being raided by soldiers led by pioneers in the Ice Field Valley.

Now they rent a single-story one-bedroom cabin.

Eurio used to be a small landlord with fields and farms in his hometown. He could only say that the living environment in front of him was pretty good, and it was better than being locked in a wooden cage by an evil orc in a wooden cage to burn the sun and rain.

But the key to the problem is that he is already a disabled person with a broken arm, and Dad Colun has severe foot sores on both feet and cannot stand and walk for a long time. Most of the time he has to rest in bed.

The one-armed Yurio couldn't find a stable job that suited him, so he could only go to the cast iron workshop every day to do some odd jobs that were daily to help sort and dismantle some scrapped weapons of the evil orcs that were obviously sent from the front line.

This odd job only takes half a day, and the salary is one dollar, which is enough for him and his father to barely buy some wheat cakes to fill their stomachs.

For the rest of the afternoon, he would wander in the bushes and woods outside the territory's walls, hunting some small wild beasts such as hares and pheasants by trapping them, and sell them at the convenience market.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Spellcaster was very generous, and renting the house he built only required an extremely low rent, and Yurio was not worried that they would be left on the streets because they had no job.

In the pioneering leadership, everyone has a consensus that as long as you are not lazy, you can always support yourself easily.

The apprentice knight looked at his broken limbs that were cut off from his elbow and smiled helplessly. He could barely be considered a person with hands and feet.

He pushed open the door of the cottage and saw Dad Coren sitting by the fireplace baking his feet around a worn-out blanket.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"Little Yurio, why did you come back so early today?" the old man asked with a smile.

Yurio gently placed the wheat cakes and shredded bread bought from the convenience market on the mud bricks on the top of the fireplace, and whispered: "There are no harvests in the beast traps outside the city today, so I came back early. ""

He didn't want to express his true thoughts. In fact, when he was off work at noon, he met soldiers returning to the territory from the outpost, wearing neat black uniforms and neatly lined up by him.

Yurio was extremely envious of these soldiers who could fight against the evil orcs at the outpost. If he was not disabled, he would go directly to the lord's barracks to join the army on the first day he came here.

But the reality is that now he can only hide this luxury and retain the last trace of dignity that belongs to the knight.

"Today, the lord's municipal officials came to find me..." Dad Coren saw that Yurio was in a low mood and took the initiative to start the topic.

Yurio raised his head blankly and said anxiously: "What are they doing? Didn't they say they would only charge the house rent at the end of the month? I've already collected enough..."

Dad Coren waved his hand quickly to calm him down, "It's not the reason. You know I can read and write. I used to be a tutor in a baron's family."

He said as he took out a letter-sized contract document from his arms and looked at Yurio with a smile on his face.

“They invited me to be a teacher in the newly built public schools in the territory, uh, the children in the junior class, with a monthly salary of 80 yuan, and if I was willing to be an additional teacher in the night adult literacy school, there were two additional ones. Ten yuan teaching subsidy..."

As he said that, he struggled to stand up and walked staggeringly to Yurio and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, we are not useless people. We can come to the pioneering corps by chance, with warm and solid houses, warm and full food, and well-paid jobs..." He said as he turned the young The trainee knight pressed onto the chair.

"Don't be worried about the scars of the past anymore. Live well and enjoy the rest of your life is the most important thing!"
