Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

After selling the last teammate, Brook can finally report to Zhao Zhenzhen with peace of mind.

"—Is everything involved?" Zhao Zhenzhen said with a serious expression.

"Yeah." Brooke nodded vigorously, his eyes shining brightly, "Ms. Zhao, can we wipe out the Midtown area this time?" Brooke couldn't help waving his arms excitedly, young people are always more aggressive , even young people from different worlds are not immune.

Zhao Zhenzhen thought for a while, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the road is taken step by step, and the meal is eaten in one bite, so finish the work at hand first. Check the green-covered ledger on your right hand side, and help to clear it up when you are done. Fill out the form."

Brooke: "..."

You can't take it easy even if your teammates are sold out...

Hang Chi Hang Chi helped Ms. Zhao to reconcile the accounts for half the night, and then filled in the corrected figures into the statistical form. Finally, she put down her pen after she was busy, and Brook carried Zhao Zhenzhen downstairs to help count and hand over the belongings copied from Frank's house Title deed...

When the Bartleys house fell, Tarantan was busy stabilizing the situation in the city, plus keeping the local nobles in order to prevent these guys from fleeing with their property in a swarm and causing loss of local wealth, so he could only pinch his nose and let the gang The vultures divide up the Bartleys estate.

When Viscount Darcy's family was wiped out by vampires, the city hall was crazy about the property of Darcy's family... But for the sake of long-term consideration, this piece of meat should not only be inedible, but also try to help China Darcy keep the family business.

When Baroness Virgil committed suicide by herself, the city hall was finally able to gnaw a little bit of meat - the fiefdom of Yongwang Town was taken back, and the Baroness's two manors in Yongwang Town were also taken over as a matter of course.

Until now, when the traditional old aristocratic signboard of the Baron Frank’s family hit Lord Yang’s muzzle, exposing their dirty old background that even the local nobles rejected, the city hall was finally able to open its belly and eat meat.

"A manor, eight farms, a horse farm, a coal mine, and a grain processing factory..." Brook read out the properties of the Frank family that had been confiscated, his eyes straightened and his mouth dry. "There are 23 properties in the city, including A lakeside villa on the artificial lake in the Granther block, two apartment buildings, a midtown residence, and twelve street-facing shops..."

When Brook read the checklist, all the officers and clerks who were manually counting Frank's house and checking the property were all beaming when they heard it.

"With so many farms, as well as coal mines and grain processing factories, how many people can be employed!" A clerk from the Department of Civil Affairs said happily.

...The employment rate indicator seems to have really pushed the Department of Civil Affairs hard.

The operative of the Department of Public Security said with a smile: "It may not be possible to arrange many people. There are also people working on these farms."

"Hey, hey! Don't gossip! Hurry up and finish the work and go to the farm to count the population!" Zhao Zhenzhen, who was in charge of statistics in the next room, slapped the wall and urged.

A group of people hurried to work...

Unknowingly, it was dawn, and the yawning Brook wanted to find a place to rest. Before his ass touched the ground, he was dragged into a carriage and driven to Frank's farm...

The slaves raised by the Frank family, who have been engaged in slave trading for many years, did not exceed the specifications. Roughly speaking, there are about 2000 to [-] slaves; nearly [-]% of them are orc slaves, and more than [-] local freemen "voluntarily" depend on them. "slaves", or they were transported from other places.

All serfs must be registered in the file, and those who are in urgent health conditions must be immediately arranged for treatment; the dependent freemen must immediately restore to Innadali citizens, and re-sign a legal employment contract with the city hall that took over the farm; Files; outsiders who have been kidnapped and trafficked should inquire about their willingness one by one, and the treatment they are willing to stay is the same as that of local people. Those who hope to return to their hometown must complete the formalities and arrange to be sent back...

Just the task of absorbing and transforming Frank's slaves exhausted countless quasi-professional and professional operators.

And this is not over yet, there are thousands of farm workers, coal miners, grain processing factory workers, male and female servants, etc. that the Frank family has put on the surface, waiting to be sorted and screened before being assigned to work...

On the day of the incident, the Frank family urgently sent away two outstanding children of the family, and the other family members were arrested before they could be transferred in time; these men, women, old and young had to be accompanied by Master Dennis Frank and the family's private soldiers who were escorted back from the manor by the lord Yang The children were packed and sent to Tarantan—men to build roads, women and children to wasteland station for reclamation.

In addition to the various private human traffickers captured by the players, the prisoner road construction team added a group of fresh labor.

When the city hall was in full swing to digest the old aristocratic Baron Frank's house that had been in operation for hundreds of years, Yang Qiu, a bloodless guy, sent a reminder: he was going to take over more than [-] orc slaves, and more than [-] orc slaves. Thirty thousand human slaves.

Orc slaves refer to the orc population hidden in various parts of Innatrix that Ossirian King used himself as bait to find through Adler merchants.

Human slaves include the serfs who originally belonged to the Bartleis family, as well as the serfs who were changed hands by the Frank family.

Brooke and his gang traveled to hundreds of farms in Inadoli in a few months, and the suffering of eating and sleeping in the open was not in vain.

Rex stayed up for several days, his eyes were red, his mind was numb, and he didn't respond to Yang Qiu's words.

On the contrary, Zhao Zhenzhen said with some regret: "You also think it's more appropriate to be more stable?"

"Don't worry, time is on our side, and the main event will be after the autumn harvest." Yang Qiu said calmly.

Zhao Zhenzhen thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Neither Yang Qiu nor the national team planned to keep the local nobles until the Chinese New Year.

There are so many plump pigs there, eating them in one go will kill people, it is better to slice the meat slowly... Be careful not to scare the pigs away.

"Then let's do the courtesy first and then the soldiers." Zhao Zhenzhen said.

At the end of March in 1032, the alien time, when the student party among the players started school one after another, the noble houses in the Midtown area all received a private letter from the city hall signed by the lord Charlie Rex.

This letter from your lord is divided into two paragraphs. The first paragraph is to ask for a large number of orc slaves and human slaves in various farms, manors, coal mines, iron mines or other industries in Inadoli:

——Dear XXX viscount/baron, you must already know what happened to the Frank family. There is evidence that the orcs/humans placed in XXX by your family came through the illegal business of the Frank family. For the sake of our friendship Affected, please return the illegal gains to the city hall in time.

— Your dear friend Charlie Rex.

The content of the second paragraph of the letter is to ask for human slaves:

——Respected Viscount/Baron of XXX, I wonder if you remember that the Bartleys family led the defeat of the undead of Tarantan for me. The Bartleys family hastily resold the XX farm/manor located in XX place to you. I will contact you for the relevant transaction documents. Saw you at town hall afterwards, congratulations on getting that farm/estate.

When I read the documents recently, I found out that there are XXX farmers stranded in the farm/manor and have not been arranged. I also heard that you generously resettled these farmers in XXX land. The city hall has the responsibility and obligation to take over these former Bartley The farmers served by the Si family will send a special person to visit in the near future, and contact your housekeeper about the resettlement of these farmers.

— Your dear friend Charlie Rex.

The wording of your lord's personal letter is still very polite, but the intention is not at all polite.

To take a total of [-] slaves for nothing—that's cutting off all the decent folks in the country!

The knife is so ruthless that it makes people vomit blood!

Not long ago, Baroness Virgil, who had just been brutally slaughtered and lost her fief, jumped up and smashed the glass and bottle in anger after roughly reading the letter.

"Is that illegitimate child trying to force me to death? Ah?! What kind of enmity do I have with that damned illegitimate child!!"

Mrs. Virgil was left with property in the city and a tobacco farm outside the city. She was already living a tight life, and she was asked for slaves—she had resold many slaves after reluctantly selling two farms in Yongwang Town. Give it to other people-how can I live this day!

After venting her anger, Mrs. Virgil still had to pick up the letter and read it again carefully with her red eyes.

The letter not only clearly pointed out the location of her property for raising orc/human slaves, but also clearly marked the amount of "benefits" that came from the Frank family and Viscount Darcy.

At the end of the letter, a special paragraph was added... If these slaves die or die before the handover is completed, the city hall will require Mrs. Vergil to pay the corresponding pension. Few lords would pay pensions to civilian husbands, but there were indeed relevant provisions in law.

"...Do you really want me to die!" Mrs. Virgil cursed in grief and indignation.

Even the way to kill the slaves and prevent Rex from taking advantage is blocked!

"Returning" these slaves who were earned with real money and skills would indeed cut Mrs. Virgil's flesh, but it would not hurt her muscles and bones. If she gritted her teeth, this level would not be difficult to overcome.

But Mrs. Virgil was not reconciled after all. She paced back and forth in the living room frantically for a long time, called the maid to change her clothes, and hurried out to discuss with the noble ladies.

Soon, a group of ladies who were also troubled by His Excellency's private letters met in the private club on Sapphire Street in the Midtown.

Then, these ladies who were worried about their family business scolded Charlie Rex for more than an hour together with the enemy...

Cursing, scolding, and the slogan of "absolutely no handover" were chanted countless times, but after all, no noble lady took the lead in finding trouble with the city hall—the counterexample of Baroness Virgil, who lost her fief, sat None of them intended to follow in the baroness's footsteps.

The lady's side failed to form a resistance alliance, and the situation on the gentlemen's side was similar.

Old Viscount Darcy died at the hands of vampires. The Frank family, second only to the Darcy family in appeal, exposed their buttocks and was raided and liquidated by the city hall. The scene of the whole family being exiled to the exile town has just passed a few days ago, and it has also fallen silently. Baron Marcus is not even worth mentioning... At this moment, it really takes courage to stand up and challenge the city hall.

A day later, a steward of a respectable family sneaked into the city hall in the dark, and discussed with the city hall whether he could find a remote place to hand over the slaves, so as not to embarrass the master...

The slave owners who were forced to cut their flesh were miserable, and the city hall, which suddenly obtained a large amount of labor, was in pain and happiness.

The property just stolen from Frank's house, a long-standing human trafficker, flowed out again before it was warmed up.

The city hall is very heartbroken, but the expenses are really unavoidable:

The first thing is to organize the serfs who restore their citizenship to overhaul water conservancy, reclaim wasteland, and build new administrative villages in the two self-managed lands of Yongwang Town and Westham Town-although the spring plowing missed, it is also possible to catch up with the summer sowing. OK.

Secondly, the coal mine copied from Frank’s house was closed for rectification, and all the supervisors were sent to the prisoner road construction team. Where to repurchase earth work equipment to mine safely...

The grain processing factory does not need to make major changes, but the management must also be completely replaced, the operation process should be optimized, and workers should be supplemented...

More manpower was organized to invest in the construction of thermal power plants that had been put on hold for a while, and to build roads where roads should be built in Tarantan...

With so many projects being rolled out at once, the city hall is desperately short of manpower. Fortunately, there are tool people from the national team working hard to brush the helmets earned by the hours of service. More tool people have been introduced, and a group of retired technical cadres have come here Only when the world continues to shine and heat up can the stall be maintained.

Yang Qiu didn't care whether the city hall was so busy that even Brooke, a minor child laborer, was so tired that he couldn't see a bed for ten days and a half months. He copied the Frank family's manor by himself, and returned the wallet he had suffocated after purchasing the materials for the mage tower. After some blood, he unceremoniously asked for [-] contract workers from the city hall and an engineer from the national team, and started to build his mage tower in the city lord's mansion.

As the core of the regional magic net, the first thing the Mage Tower needs to ensure is its height, which cannot be lower than 80 meters—about the height of a [-]-story residential building.

With the technology of this world, it takes a lot of special materials to build a building of this height, but Yang Qiu doesn’t need it—he directly transfers the building materials from the earth, and then rents tower cranes, cranes, and excavators from G Province through the salesman of the expert group. Such equipment as assistance is fine, and even scaffolding can be borrowed...

The only difficulty is that there is only one undead engineer assigned by the national team, and the contractors are completely incapable of operating heavy engineering equipment and have no experience in building high-rise buildings.

But this is still not a problem - just teach slowly!

The [-] contract workers who are coming to the city hall are all at the top of the literacy school. Although they are not as good as the Chinese migrant workers who generally have a middle school education, they are obedient and obedient, and they know what they want to build. After the mage tower, these contractors showed super enthusiasm, and they even did the work of digging the foundation with devotion and piety!

Waking up to the bang bang bang bang bang every day, when you open the curtains, you can see the foundation dug out of a small half of the courtyard and the busy contractors. Yang Qiu feels very happy and doesn't want to Go back to Earth and sleep with Simmons...

On his side, he was as happy as an old farmer watching the wheat seedlings germinate little by little. Brother Lowell and Kingsley Jean, who lived together, couldn't stand the noise, so they ran back to Westham to find Ji Tang for company. , and the other moved to City Hall to live with Rex.

When Yang Qiu's mage's tower was built up little by little, the territory of Otis next door was not peaceful.

After the battle in early March, the illusionist Upton, who had guarded the gate of the Otis family for a century, took his apprentices to say goodbye, leaving only a young mage to guard the mage tower.

With Upton's departure, the pressure that was already hanging over the Otis family's head dropped a lot.

Returning to Phoenix in Bugatti, the main city of the Otis territory, after reading the telegram sent back by his trusted secretary, Miss Linda, he smiled slightly, and lay down on the armchair tiredly.

The undead is indeed worthy of betting. In just one month, the undead warrior named "There is an orange cat" managed that remote knight leader very well.

This makes Phoenix quite regretful... If these undead could appear earlier, even three or five years earlier, and give her more time to manage the alliance with the undead, then she would have more bargaining chips .

"Miss, the Earl has sent someone." The secretary knocked twice on the door of the mayor's office, opened the door, and bowed respectfully to Phoenix.

"Understood." Phoenix sat up straight with the armrest, rubbed his forehead and said, "Just say I will go back tonight."

After working hard to finish the day's work, when the sky was getting dark, Phoenix turned down the entertainment, got into the carriage, and headed to his home outside the city.

The industry in the territory of Otis is much more prosperous than that in the territory of Innatrix. In contrast, there are severe environmental problems-the largest city, Bugatti, half of the sky is covered by the continuous black smoke from the factory chimneys. Pollution, few decent families in the central city are willing to live, and most of the nobles buy other houses outside the city.

This is probably the biggest difference between a new industrial city and a conservative agricultural city - in the former, only the middle-class poor will go to the most prosperous and densely populated places in the city, while in the latter, the poor are mostly excluded from the prosperous urban areas.

The Earl's Mansion of the Otis family is in the southern suburbs of Bugatti. The whole Earl's Mansion does not look very big, only half of the Crescent Manor, and the building is not as brand new as the Crescent Manor. The big house in the mansion has a history of more than 200 years. No matter how it is maintained, there will inevitably be water leakage or peeling of the wall skin. The Earl's family had to move to live in a new building in the West Courtyard.

The countess doesn't like the city of Bugatti, and lives in the manor in the northern part of the territory all year round. Her eldest brother is keen to collect novel monsters to fill his monster manor, and he is often away from home; every time Phoenix comes back, only his father and his father The strict younger brother Parker, and... a bunch of relatives who often live at home.

After returning home, Phoenix took some time to get rid of her cousin who always tried to get close to her to ask for an official position, and was concerned about Parker's making friends. After dinner, he went to his father's study alone, and Father talked.

"Time to make a choice, Phoenix."

Behind the desk, the earl in a large nightgown was not as majestic as he was in front of his relatives. While sighing slightly, he placed two envelopes decorated with exquisite gold thread in front of Phoenix: "The capital and...'Then Bian', there are letters."

Phoenix glanced at the uncovered beeswax on the envelope, and said, "Father, what do you think?"

The earl didn't make a tense expression, like an ordinary father, he didn't hide his worries when he was alone with Phoenix: "I told you when you were young——if you want to decide your Destiny, you don't want to live your life like an ordinary noble lady, so you need to face the problems that should be faced by your brother."

Phoenix was silent for a while, then reached out to pick up the envelope on the left.

The signature on this envelope...is also Otis.

A letter from the royal family of Otis, Rose, Kingdom of Nabalon, in the middle of the continent.

The Otis family of the Rhine Kingdom is a... branch of the royal family of King Rose!

400 years ago, when the trend of magic and technology led by the Kenyan Empire swept across the Nabalon continent with an endless supply of Kenyan cloth, there was a person in the Kingdom of Rose who had a very low succession order and would never have been able to rise to the top without great luck. The prince came to the Rhine with the mechanical artifacts of the Kenyan Empire purchased with the money supported by his mother's family.

It stands to reason that the prince with the lowest line of succession does not have to find his own way of life. Even if he cannot succeed, he can still be a duke. However, this prince offended the eldest prince with the highest line of succession. He was exiled, but the then King Rose did not show any aversion to this situation of brotherly enmity... For the future of his mother clan and for himself, the prince had to go far away.

Because they both belonged to the Diocese of the Gold Coin Church, the Rhine royal family did not reject the foreign prince who came to seek refuge, and generously granted the title of viscount in their own country. Of course, it was only an empty title and no fiefdom.

The ancestor of the Otis family settled down in the Rhine Kingdom, started his business with a factory, and supported the Rhine royal family with financial resources to win several wars and obtained a fief.

After the death of the prince, the succeeding descendants continued to develop their family business in the Rhine Kingdom conscientiously. During the Rhine Kingdom’s national defense war 200 years ago, the Otis family actively contributed money and troops to protect the royal capital, and finally won the title of earl. The territory of Otis owned by the Diss family.

Among the five Earls of the Rhine Kingdom, there is no one with the most stable foundation and the clearest family history than the Odis family. All the earls of their family went out and boasted that their family’s fortune was all based on the same line. Work hard, without any opportunism.

This was supposed to be an aristocratic version of a family inspirational legend, but...the Otis family did manage their property so well that it even attracted the coveted eyes of the "family".

A few years after Phoenix became an adult and served as the consul of Bugatti under the trust of his father, the royal family of Otis, the head of the Kingdom of Rose, sent a letter of "concern" to the successor of Earl Odis, thinking that Earl Odis Because the eldest son was not good enough, he had no choice but to choose the second daughter, and proposed to choose an excellent heir from the royal family to inherit the family business of Earl Otis.

Phoenix took out the letter paper, glanced at it, and then couldn't control his angry expression... The content of this letter was even more extreme. King Rose even listed several members of the royal family, and said that he would send them to the royal family in the summer. Send it, let her father choose one as heir!

Phoenix held back his anger and folded the letter, then picked up another envelope.

The signature on this letter is a prince of the Rhine royal family.

Even though he had expected the content of the letter from Prince Rhine, Phoenix still endured his nausea and pulled out the letter paper.

As expected, the content of the letter was exactly the same as the news sent back by the deacon of the Otis family's business in the royal capital—the prince proposed to Count Odis the idea of ​​marrying Phoenix.

"It's unreasonable!" Phoenix angrily slapped the letter paper on the table.

The Rhine royal family took into account the contributions of the Otis family over the past 400 years, but it was not as disregarding food as the Rose royal family.

But there is no kindness.

The prince marries Phoenix. If Phoenix inherits the territory of Otis, then this territory is no different from belonging to the royal family. The 400-year inheritance of the ancestors of the Odis family will be destroyed.

If Phoenix, for the sake of the family, renounces the right of inheritance and makes his elder brother the next lord—then the Rhine royal family only needs to use some tricks to kill the elder brother, and the Otis family's property will still fall into the hands of the Rhine royal family!

The [-]-year statute of limitations that illusionist Upton promised to serve the Otis family has expired. Without this once prominent high-level illusionist to guard against death, the difficulty of assassinating the son of an earl is no more difficult than assassinating a country's political leaders. Where is the difficulty?
