Start as Inherited Baroness

The maid pushed the door open, bowed, put the things she was holding on the table, and then left the room.

Winnies went over to take a look, reached out to pick up a flag, unfolded it, and smiled: "Simon, look!"

"The material and workmanship are very good." He nodded and smiled.

This is a flag with the sun and moon shining together. The sun and moon are red, and the bottom is yellow. There is no other decoration. It is simple and clear.

After that, Winnies put down the flag, picked up a badge, put it on her chest to gesture, and then put it in front of Simon to compare.

She played by herself for a while, and Simon continued to read books.

In this way, noon passed quickly.

People usually don't eat lunch here, but civilians with a wealthy family will eat a little after noon.

The nobles are naturally no exception. The kitchen prepared some thin wheat cakes with honey and a plate of slightly yellowed butter.

Simon finished his meal in a hurry, and then asked the female slaves to come in and help him put on his armor. Then he planned to go for a tour to see how his men had completed the preparations.

When he came down from the attic, he saw people everywhere, crowded and shoulder to shoulder.

The backyard of the Fengjian Chamber of Commerce was still too small.

At this time, Ai Lei and others had already arranged the slaves into a line, with one personal soldier leading ten foot soldiers to manage one hundred serfs.

The technical serfs were personally guarded and managed by twenty light infantrymen and five longbowmen.

In addition, a dozen light cavalrymen were selected and led by Sarit to form a mobile force to support the entire team.

In this way, Simon still had nearly sixty personal soldiers to guard him, so he didn't have to worry too much about safety issues. This was already a lot.

And there was also Reed with six hundred slave soldiers. Although the combat power of a single soldier was not strong, the number was considerable and should not be underestimated.

At least it could boost morale.

In addition, there is another mercenary force, the Iron Bear Mercenary Group in Keelung. I have inquired about them before. Their reputation is not bad and their credibility has never been lacking.

The relationship with the War Spear Mercenary Group is indeed very ordinary, but it is not to the point of life and death.

Simon felt that this force could be used, so he took them along and asked them to be responsible for the task of covering the rear.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the team was ready and lined up to walk out of Baiou Port and head to Fengjian Manor.

The supplies bought by Kelley were all in this manor, and the money was paid by Winnies. The 500 golden eagles she had were enough.

Simon still had a few hundred golden eagles in his hand, plus a golden red deer statue that could be melted into about 200 golden eagles.

Normally, this money could not build a castle at all.

But Simon had slaves as manpower, which was another matter. As long as there were suitable building materials in Yongyi Territory, it would not be a big problem.

If the stonemasons and laborers were hired from outside freemen, the stone bars had to be purchased from outside and then transported, and indeed three thousand golden eagles might not be enough.

Simon's team left the city and attracted a lot of attention. After all, it was a team of three thousand people, which was still very spectacular.

Six people in a row also made the team stretch for hundreds of meters.

Fengjian Manor was not far away, and it was almost there when it was dark.

Someone had been sent to notify them in advance, and they were probably setting up the pot to cook at this time.

Simon rode a tall horse in the middle of the team, quite high-spirited, and kept thinking about how to develop the territory.

"The first step must be to keep warm and full, and arranging the land reclamation is the first priority.

The second is to guard against danger. We have to build a high wall, so we will use earth ramming first. I hope to find lime in Yongyi Territory..."

Simon thought so, and before he knew it, the sky darkened and the team arrived at Fengjian Manor.

At this time, the crops on the fields in the manor had been harvested, and it seemed very empty inside.

However, on the side close to the building, there are a large number of ox carts and horse carriages, as many as five or six hundred, all of which are piled with various grains.

In addition, there are hundreds of sheep and goats in a fence, leisurely eating artificially fed grass.

The meal has been prepared here, and more than twenty large pots have been set up, including iron pots and pottery pots, all of which are steaming white smoke and emitting the aroma of wheat grains.

Most of them are rye porridge, and there are also barley porridge, the latter is prepared for Simon and his guards.

In addition, three sheep were roasted.

In terms of diet, the strict hierarchy is revealed. Serfs can only drink a bowl of rye porridge, and slave soldiers are given a large spoonful of butter in addition to rye porridge.

The treatment of technical slaves is the same as that of slave soldiers, but high-value slaves like blacksmiths can also drink barley porridge and butter, and even eat a piece of roasted lamb.

Simon's personal soldiers are treated much better. They are normal people's meals, with black bread, butter, potato soup, roasted lamb, etc.

The most abundant food was naturally Simon and Winnies's, all of which were the best, including roast lamb chops, white bread, vegetable soup, cheese, etc., more than a dozen items.

After dinner, Simon led his troops to patrol and arranged the soldiers for night watch, then returned to the manor house to rest.

There was no entertainment, only making children...

The next day, at dawn, Simon opened his eyes and looked at the window. A ray of light passed through the colored glass and fell on the bed.

He watched quietly for a while. The Eagle Kingdom can make glass, which is relatively exquisite and not too expensive. Wealthy families can buy it.

However, the transparency of the glass made here is average, and the single piece is relatively small, full of colorful colors.

Among the technical slaves Simon bought, there were two who could make glass, and the price was not very high.

After a while, Winice in his arms also moaned and opened her sleepy eyes, but in the blink of an eye, she fell asleep on his chest like a cat.

Seeing this, Simon put his arms around her plump and delicate waist, closed his eyes, and took a nap.

When he woke up again, it was already bright.

He got rid of Winice's entanglement, opened the quilt, got out of bed and put on his clothes.

We have to set off today, so we can't be too late.

Simon looked at the height of the sun through the window and judged that it was about 7:30 in the morning, which was okay.

"Wake up, get up!" He patted the plump buttocks and shouted.

"嘤~" Winice opened her eyes, sat up, and stretched.

"Simon~ You were really great last night, my legs are still soft now~" she said a little coquettishly.

"Haha...it seems I haven't fed you enough." Simon rushed over.

"No! I'm full! I'm full!~" Winice raised her hands to beg for mercy, then put her hands on his chest and shouted palely.

"Haha, okay, I won't make trouble with you anymore, let's go to eat quickly, we have to leave today." Simon stood up, smiled, and said seriously.

"Well!~Help me get the skirt, why did you throw it under the table last night~"

"Okay, here, here you go."

......

More than half an hour later, they sat in the hall and had a hearty breakfast.

Then the maids put on heavy armor for Simon, and he walked out with a sword.
