Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Hillwood Castle.

"Tom, are you telling the truth?" Chahar, the housekeeper, raised his voice very loudly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

At this time, Elrond, Eileen, David, and Political Officer Wilson were all in the house. They were surprised and pleasantly surprised after hearing the news that Tom brought back.

"Butler, I won't make such a joke about something like this!"

Tom, who returned to Hillwood Town alone, had long expected such a scene. He smiled and recounted Luo Ning's experience in Wushan Castle.

The assassination in the Colosseum, the knightly competition, and forcing Rayson to stand trial all sound thrilling and exciting. It made David's eyes full of jealousy. It would be great if he accompanied him this time.

"Now Lord Luo Ning is no longer just the baron of Shanlin Town, but the viscount of the entire Wubei Territory!"

Tom drew a big circle with his hand, "With Thain Territory as the boundary, the entire north of Wushan Territory is Lord Luo Ning's territory!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped, especially Wilson who had lived here for many years. He didn't know how big the northern part of Wushan Territory was, but now it has become Luo Ning's territory?

"My lord is really..."

Wilson felt dizzy and couldn't find words to praise.

He had just started to take over the government affairs of all villages, including Huitu Village, not long ago. He did not expect that the lord would gain another territory so quickly, and it was also the Swamp Town that originally belonged to Baron Leisen.

The population of Swamp Town has exceeded that of Hillwood Town and its subordinate villages. It can be foreseen that Wilson's work content will be very heavy in the future.

But this not only did not dampen Wilson's enthusiasm, on the contrary, he saw the possibility of climbing up.

The lord has a future, so as long as people like them who follow the lord serve the lord wholeheartedly, they will have an extremely dazzling life in the future!

It is not impossible to change class as a political officer.

In fact, not only Wilson saw a bright road, Chahar also did so.

He had wanted to be the butler in the castle since he was a child, and thought it would be very difficult to realize this dream.

But since he followed Luo Ning, he not only quickly moved into the castle, but also quickly changed from a valet to a butler. And now, in such a short period of time, he is actually about to become the butler of the viscounty.

What happened was so dreamy that he couldn't believe it.

If the people in the hall were relatively calm, it was Elrond and Eileen.

The former had some communication with Redal and knew what the lord’s plans were for going to Wushan Fort this time;

The latter didn't think too much and hadn't realized what it meant for Luo Ning to be promoted from Baron to Viscount of Wubei Territory. She just simply felt that Brother Luo Ning was so powerful that there were stars in her eyes.

Seeing everyone immersed in surprise, Elrond reminded: "Tom, why don't you tell me what you need us to do?"

Wilson and Chahar immediately recovered from the surprise. Yes, they must not slack off if they want to keep up with the lord.

"Your Excellency asked Wilson and Chahar to assist him in taking over Swamp Town. It should be to deal with some things."

Tom said: "In addition, I need to notify the commander and ask him to escort the assassin and all the knights accompanying Leisen to Swamp Town. The knights of Wushan Castle will take them to Wushan City for trial."

Elrond nodded, "A few days ago, in order to conquer the black-collar tribe, Redal transferred almost all the knights in Shanlin Town. In order to prevent Shadow from taking the opportunity to escape, he was transferred to Ashtu Village for custody. Now this assassin He should be imprisoned in the cell of the Black Collar Tribe together with Feliton and others."

After all, Shadow has reached the bronze level and has the ability to become invisible. If he relaxes a little, he may run away.

Rydal knew the importance of this witness, so he transferred him to custody under his nose.

Tom looked at the sky outside. It was still more than an hour before dark. "Then I will go to the Black Collar tribe now and bring this news to the commander."

"Leave this matter to me."

David stood up and said, "I have traveled frequently between the two places recently and am quite familiar with the mountain roads."

Elrond agreed, "Tom, have a good night's rest and take Wilson, Chahar and others to Swamp Town tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

Tom smiled and agreed, so that he could also have time to meet his mother Leah and share the news that he would no longer have to wear a mask in the future.

……

The territory changes hands, which is tantamount to catastrophe for the people living in Swamp Castle. Their good days have come to an end.

Similarly, the people living in Swamp Town are also in panic all the time, because they don't know how the new lord will treat them.

Originally, under the rule of Baron Leisen, most of them made a living by working day and night for the lord, and many of them were able to save some private property for themselves.

Now that the lord has changed, how will the new lord treat them? They are deeply concerned about their property, safety and future.

In order to calm down the uneasy mood of the residents of Swamp Town as soon as possible and allow them to return to normal life as quickly as possible, Ronin asked Thomas and Baron Talon to summon all the citizens in Swamp Town the next day.

Unlike Forest Town, Swamp Town has a relatively high proportion of free people. They have many questions, such as what happened to the old lord, the identity of the new lord, how the new lord will treat them, etc.

It can be seen that the people in Swamp Town are more active than the residents of Hillwood Town.

Luo Ning answered these questions very kindly.

He highlighted the crimes committed by Rayson, making the people realize that their former lord was a criminal and evil;

At the same time, in order to further eliminate people's panic, Luo Ning promised not to infringe on the private property of the residents of Marsh Town, and at the same time restore the public security environment here as soon as possible.

In view of Luo Ning's special status as a member of the Wushan family, and at the same time they had some friendly exchanges, the residents of Marsh Town had a basic understanding of the new lord, and their uneasiness and fear were greatly reduced. few.

Next, Luo Ning will select a group of people from these people to help manage Swamp Town, such as re-recruiting servants of Swamp Castle, recruiting administrative officer assistants, etc.

Using local people to manage can enhance stability to a certain extent.

As long as a stable environment can be maintained, it doesn't really matter to them whether the lords change or not after the people of this group devote themselves to their work.

"Lord Viscount, you are so patient with your subjects." Mas, who accompanied Luo Ning, couldn't help but sigh.

In his opinion, things that appease people's hearts can be left to his subordinates. As a lord, there is no need to waste time on such things.

Anyway, the residents will not leave this land unless they have to.

"Initial communication is still necessary."

Luo Ning said with a smile, "In this way, the residents will feel respected, which can reduce unnecessary misunderstandings and suspicions and allow them to quickly return to normal life."

Mas nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the upstart in front of him not only has a good talent for cultivation, but also has his own ideas in territorial management.

No wonder his father thinks highly of him.

At noon, Tom brought Wilson and Chahar to Swamp Castle. Along with them were five political assistants that Wilson had recently trained.

Now that his people have arrived, Luo Ning started his action.

The first thing to do is a census. Every person in every household must be registered.

Wilson has done this kind of census many times, and he will figure it out clearly without Ronin having to tell him about the details.

The second step is to make statistics on the assets in the castle, including food, weapons, money, etc. These assets will not be taken away by Wushan Fort, they will all go into Luo Ning's pocket;

People say that the gold belt that kills people and sets them on fire will bring even more wealth if they occupy a castle.

Not to mention anything else, Leisen's savings, for example, amount to more than 3,400 gold coins. This is just cash and does not include other materials.

Although Luo Ning spent more than a thousand gold coins in Wushan City to buy materials for making spell scrolls, but with the rewards and rewards he received in Wushan Castle, the number of gold coins in his space ring actually reached nearly 7,600!

Unknowingly, he didn't know he was so rich.
