Start as Inherited Baroness

Soon, servants filed in with breakfast, placed it on the table, and then left respectfully.

"Ailei, have you eaten?" Simon asked softly.

"My lord, not yet."

"Then let's go together and get another serving." Simon gestured to the slave beside him.

"Yes." The maid responded immediately.

After a while, several servants brought a breakfast set. The standard was a little lower than Simon's, but it also included grilled fish, white bread, wheat porridge, and two spoons of butter.

"Sir, I'm not polite." Ai Lei looked at the sumptuous meal and said with excitement.

"Eat quickly, and follow me outside for a patrol after eating.

There are too many remaining orcs around, and we have to organize troops to clear them out, otherwise the slaves will not be able to farm stably..."

The two chatted while eating. It didn't take long before they had enough to eat and drink, and ended the breakfast.

With the help of his servants, Simon put on heavy armor and led Airey out of the hall.

At this time, Mailan had already brought over the superior war horse.

"Let's go and look around, take all the cavalry with you." Simon got on his horse and said energetically.

"Yes!" Airei responded and also mounted the horse led by the soldiers.

The two waited for a short while, and all the light and heavy cavalry gathered over.

Simon waved his hand, and the group of people immediately followed him out of the camp and ran towards the wasteland.

They first looked at the reclamation situation. Nearly a thousand serfs and more than 200 cattle were working tirelessly, and the progress was gratifying.

In one day they can reclaim more than two thousand acres of wasteland.

This plain is relatively fertile, with yellowish-medium-black soil. After being plowed, it is generally medium-to-high-quality fertile land.

Certain plots of land are more fertile and can fully meet the standards of prime farmland.

Simon inspected for a while and found that the wasteland cultivated by the serfs was very flat and smooth, and the paths for people to walk in it were also reasonably distributed.

"Go and get Mader." He said to the left and right.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." Mailan responded and asked a personal guard to call someone.

After a while, Ma De came up behind the guard on a horse.

"Lord Baron! What do you want me to do?" He bowed and said respectfully.

“You did a good job in the reclamation task.

I see that this field is very smooth. Did you plan it? Simon laughed.

Madre hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, I don't have such ability. It was planned by a few serfs, and one of them named Charles is very good at farming.

Do I need to call him over? "

"Really? Call a few people who are good at farming to come over and take a look, and bring them here on horseback." Simon's heart moved, and he secretly ignored the matter.

There may not necessarily be no talents among serfs, and farming does not require skills.

After a while, five serfs were brought over.

"Master!" They all knelt on the ground, trembling, thinking they had violated some taboo.

In this world, if a noble master wants to kill a slave, it is only a matter of words.

"Who is Char?"

"Sir, I am." A serf who looked about forty years old responded carefully.

"Is this the field you planned? What did you do before? Are you literate?"

Simon asked. It seemed to him that this man did not look like he had been digging for food in the fields. His eyes were a little bright, which was different from ordinary serfs.

"Sir, I know some words. I studied at the Agricultural College of Rock Kingdom for two years." Char said respectfully.

"Since you have such ability, how could you be sold as an ordinary slave?" Simon asked doubtfully.

"Sir, serfs have always been looked down upon. Although I know more, I am only classified as a superior serf. It does not count as a special skill."

“That’s it, that’s good.

From now on, you guys no longer have to go to the fields in person. You will all plan the fields under Ma De, with you as the leader and responsible for guiding the other serfs.

Ma De, give them twice the amount of food and allow them to eat meat once a month. Simon laughed immediately.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!!" Charles was overjoyed and kept kneeling down.

Simon nodded and said to Mader: "Create as much land as possible, but after seven days, planting must be done.

Otherwise, if the time is delayed, there will be no harvest next year. "

"Yes, we will definitely complete the mission!" Ma De promised.

"Okay, you go ahead and I'll take a look around."

Afterwards, Simon said casually, and after patrolling for a while, he headed towards the hilly area to the north.

However, there were too many weeds and shrubs on the road, making it difficult for a horse to walk or run.

The group of people could only walk slowly.

At noon, they climbed to a ridge and looked into the distance.

"Sir, look, there are kobolds over there, quite a few, hundreds of them." Airei pointed toward the northwest and said in a deep voice.

Simon naturally saw it, but the distance between the two was quite far, and he was not prepared to act rashly.

"Don't worry about them for now. Let's go to the north to check out the border of Brave Territory." He said.

"Yes." Airei responded and said no more.

Everyone rested for a while, Simon unfolded the map and looked at it for a while, then rolled it up again and put it away, heading north.

Judging from the map, we are almost there.

After more than three hours, they walked along the natural valley between the hills, walked out of the hilly area, and came to a plain again.

In fact, it is easier to walk along the river to the north, but in order to inspect the territory on the spot, Simon passed through the more difficult hills.

"This plain is not bad." He looked out for a while and sighed.

However, this place is already on the border on the map.

Strictly speaking, the north of Yongyi Territory ends at the northern end of the hills.

But because the map cannot be drawn very detailed, there is some room for maneuver when you actually look at it.

At this time, in areas with some disputes, whoever occupies it often gets the final say, or whoever is stronger is right.

Simon led his men along the plain to the north and ran for half an hour without seeing any human figures.

The owner of this territory seems to have not arrived yet.

He opened the map again and studied it for a while, and gradually had some ideas in his mind.

This plain should be within the scope of Green Plain Territory, but the border with Yongyi Territory in the south is still relatively vague.

It can be that Yongyi Territory expands to the north for more than ten miles, or that Green Plain Territory expands to the south and covers part of the hills.

It depends on how the lords of both sides operate.

"Go back." Simon said.

Then the group began to return. Instead of walking along the hills, they walked along the river. This road was much smoother and they could trot directly on horseback.

When it was dark, they returned to the camp.

Simon was going to give the disputed area in the north to Yade. In fact, he was giving him the southernmost part of the plain in Green Plain.

Since the territory had not been accurately divided and boundary markers had not been erected, there was a lot of flexibility on the border line.

As long as it was not too outrageous, the stronger party could often occupy more.

In this situation, it was basically useless to erect a boundary marker.

The lord of Green Plain Valley could not be so honest, and he had to arrange people to occupy the land and garrison.

Simon's own people could not be divided now, so he could only let Yade go. He had some strength and might be able to occupy it.
