Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 2

The streets of Ironwood City are very spacious, the pavement paved with slate looks clean and tidy, and many houses on both sides are newly built.

Richard rode down the wide avenues of Ironwood City on horseback, looking at this small town he built with his own hands with scrutiny.

Under the management of Li Cha for several years, Ironwood City has attracted tens of thousands of people to settle down. Although the population is far from that of some modern county-level cities, it can also be called a continent where productivity is only slightly stronger than that of the Middle Ages. To be prosperous.

The New Year has passed, but spring has not yet come, the weather has not turned warm, it will be late, and there are only a few pedestrians on the street.

The cold nights in the north are the most long and difficult. If ordinary people spend the night outside the house, they will be frozen into ice sculptures the next day.

Li Cha couldn't help speeding up the speed of going home. Although he was a quasi-knight with excellent physical fitness, he didn't want to experience the coldness of this northern night.

The Ironwood Fort stands on a high ground in the Ironwood City, and the city wall made of stones is as high as five feet.

The towers are reasonably distributed on the castle to ensure that the arrows shot by the defenders can attack all attacking enemies without dead ends.

Unlike the brand-new buildings in Ironwood City, although Ironwood Fort is often repaired, there are always scars of swords and holes on the walls that are hard to repair, and it has a feeling of vicissitudes.

The Ironwood Castle has been run by the Hunter family for three generations. It has been built since the time of Richard's late grandfather, and has gradually gained a firm foothold in the constant friction and conflicts with snow thieves, wild people and half-elf tribes.

It was only in Li Cha's generation that the Ironwood City was built on the basis of Ironwood Castle under the promotion of Richard.

"Stand Up"

"The team members participating in the bear hunt today, except for Peel, can each receive a silver nar."

Everyone heard that except for Peel, they were all happy. One silver nar was enough for a family of three to live decently for a month, and it was also equivalent to their monthly salary. The soldiers who participated in this bear hunt were considered to have made a small fortune. .

"Disband!"

Following Richard's order, the soldiers happily walked back to the barracks, and the soldiers patrolling and standing guard all cast envious glances at them.

Although Mr. Richard stipulated that all soldiers should take turns to participate in bear hunting, it is not always rewarding.

Of course, Li Cha will not suffer. The giant forest bear is full of treasures. The bear skin can be made into precious clothing and is sought after by the upper class nobles in the capital. The bone of the bear can be used as medicine to help polish the body. It is worth at least 3 kinnars to sell to the Chamber of Commerce after processing.

(100 silver nars = 1 gold nar, 100 coppers = 1 silver nar)

After inspecting the military camp, Richard turned around and walked towards the main house in the backyard of the castle, where his parents and several uncles and aunts lived.

It has been the seventeenth year since Richard came to this world, and the memory of his previous life has become somewhat blurred. He has now fully accepted his new identity, the young city lord of Ironwood City, the eldest young master of the Hunter Viscount family-Heng Special? Richard.

In the previous life, as a liberal arts student, I couldn't even remember the formula of gunpowder, and I couldn't use technology in this different world with backward productivity.

At most, he instructed the craftsman to make a pulley based on vague memory and used it on the crossbow, so Ironwood City's military heavy weapon "Bear Hunting Crossbow" was freshly released.

However, in terms of management system, Richard made a comprehensive reform of the management system of the entire Hunter family.

Perhaps it is not so much the reform of the management system as the establishment, because in the view of Richard, a graduate student in economics and management, the management of the Hunter family was nothing like it before. The father and a few uncles only collect taxes, drink and fight, which is completely empirical. Extensive blind management combined with personal preferences.

After Li Cha obtained the management right of the territory, he cleaned up the arable land of the whole territory, divided the land into three grades according to the degree of fertility, and strictly formulated the tax law of the territory.

After the execution of several village tax collectors, the authority of the new law was quickly established, which nearly doubled the tax revenue of Hunter Territory without raising taxes.

Taking advantage of the heat of the new tax law, Richard immediately enacted a decree on the Hunter family's territory, a law that looks extremely rough in modern times, but at this time, the Hunter's territory is so meticulous that everyone is amazed.

Richard came to the bright hall of Tiemubao. The hall was spacious and simply furnished, and the whole decoration style was clean and neat, or the Hunter family had only been passed down for three generations, and the fiefs were far away from the prosperous royal capital, but it did not have the atmosphere of luxury.

Walking through the hall to the garden of the castle, there were some noises from the restaurant in the garden, and it was vaguely seen that several maids were shuttled through it. It should be the Hunter family who were getting together and preparing to have dinner.

"Cousin Richard!"

Li Cha followed the voice and turned his head to look, only to see a teenage boy running towards him excitedly.

"Oh, little Tilly." Richard leaned over and took the running child into his arms.

Little Tilly is the youngest son of Richard's third uncle. The old Viscount Hunter, who founded the Ironwood Castle, had three sons in his life.

When the old Hunter passed away, only Richard's father was a knight, and he successfully inherited the title and became the current Viscount Hunter Salter, while Richard's two uncles stopped at quasi-knights in terms of personal strength. He began to help his eldest brother Soter to guard the territory with all his heart, and the whole family could be said to be united.

"Cousin Richard, will you take me with you next time you go to bear hunting?"

"Hahaha, when little Tilly grows taller and dances with a knight's sword, my cousin will take you there."

The knight swords here are heavy two-handed heavy swords, and the lightest one is nearly 100 pounds. At least a quasi-knight-level warrior can use it.

Ten-year-old Tilly had difficulty lifting the knight's sword, let alone wielding it.

Little Tilly also heard the meaning of Li Cha's shirk, hugged Richard's arm heavily, pouted, and looked unhappy.

Li Cha carried Little Tilly through the garden and walked straight to the dining room. All the maids he met stopped to salute him, and Li Cha nodded slightly in response.

When I came to the dining room, the table was already full of food. The dishes were not exquisite but also very rich.

Big chunks of meat and big bowls of wine, the breath of the Hunter family's nouveau riche jumped into his eyes.

The two sides of the dining table were already filled with members of the Hunter family. Richard's aunts and cousins were sitting in the starting position, chatting non-stop. The two uncles were sitting near the main seat. On the main seat sat Richard's parents, and there was a vacant seat next to him for Richard.

"Li Cha is back. Today's harvest is not small."

"We, Richard, are getting more and more handsome. I don't know how many little girls are going to be fascinated."

Li Cha humbly responded to the teasing of his relatives, and naturally sat next to his father.

Viscount Sutter nodded reservedly to Richard, while Richard's mother had already kindly held Richard's hand and started to check if her precious son was injured.

"You must pay attention to safety when you lead troops to hunt bears, and don't hurt yourself."

"Hmm, um. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Facing his mother's concern, Li Cha could only nod his head incessantly.

"Haha, sister-in-law, we, Richard, can kill a giant forest bear by ourselves, let alone carrying a bear hunting crossbow and soldiers. What kind of injuries can we get?"

"cough"

Viscount Salt interrupted everyone's conversation with a cough.

"Since Li Cha is back, let's start eating."

The Hunter family had a happy dinner. At present, the entire Hunter family can be regarded as a humble brother and a filial father.

Richard's father, Viscount Sauter, was an official knight, and he was like a needle-like presence in the family.

Although Richard's second and third uncles failed to be promoted to knights, they were also peak quasi knights with five times the physical fitness of ordinary people and had rich combat experience.

Since Richard's father inherited the title, he has been conscientiously assisting him to ensure the security of the territory.

Richard is the only child of Viscount Sutter, but there are several cousins in the whole family. These brothers and sisters were crushed by Richard from childhood to adulthood, and they are even more obedient to Richard.

Not long after the Hunt family's inheritance, the entire continent was not peaceful. The eastern part of the kingdom was constantly threatened by orcs. From time to time, it was heard that the port in the southern bay was sacked by the Naga. Even in the depths of the adjacent ironwood forest, there were occasional cannibals. Demon tribes are haunted, and war is never far away.

The strong sense of crisis made the family all twisted together. The relatives didn't have any intrigue, and they didn't bring some messy little Jiujiu. As long as it was beneficial to the Hunter family, it would be carried out by the whole family to the end.

When Richard reformed the territorial system, the two uncles were the sharp knives of his reform. All opponents and those who made small moves were suppressed by these two uncles with absolute force.
