"Secretary …"
Liszt was very disappointed. He did not have a secretary.
There was no way to realize the shameless and impatient life of the rich and powerful, where the secretary would do whatever she wanted, and the secretary would do whatever she wanted when she had nothing to do.
In fact, he did not even have a personal maid. The social system of monogamy was strictly enforced. Even if the aristocrats had lovers everywhere and illegitimate children, they still followed this system.
This was not the official system.
This was the custom of society.
In order to ensure the continuation of monogamy, female aristocrats could only have a personal maid, and male aristocrats could only have a personal male servant. This was to prevent the destruction of monogamy in the name of a personal servant.
He had investigated the formation of this custom and finally speculated that it probably originated from the queen system of the Moon Empire.
This long-disappeared empire was like the ancient Roman Empire in Europe. Although the Roman Empire was destroyed by the barbarians, its cultural system deeply influenced the entire European continent. The same was true for the Moon Empire. As the strongest empire at that time, its cultural influence still existed.
At present, most countries had more or less absorbed the language of the Moon.
Including the hierarchy of Knight, the relationship between lord and vassal, all originated from the Moon Empire. The queen system was also preserved. In many countries, there were once women who were kings. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire did not have a queen, but the monogamy system was inherited.
"The Moon Empire … I wonder what the situation is like."
As the lord of a small town, Liszt had more leisure time. He liked to read Knight novels and heard about the Moon Empire countless times. The Knight would always find the ruins of the Moon Empire in a certain place and obtain treasures. They would immediately become powerful and fight against the heavens and the earth.
Because there was no habit of recording history.
Most of the information about the Moon Empire was passed down by word of mouth.
This kind of information transmission was distorted as high as 99%. Therefore, the Moon Empire became a legendary empire, countless beautiful and incomparably prosperous. Just like the ancient Greece of the Europeans and the ancient kings of Confucius, all kinds of beautification and all kinds of embellishments replaced the truth and became the official history in people's minds.
"It's annoying not to have history books … I'm really afraid that I will read too many Knight novels and take the nonsense as a messenger." Liszt shook his head.
He did not want to think about these nonsense things anymore.
Other than satisfying his curiosity, he studied history because he wanted to learn about politics and tactics through history. He wanted to talk about the general trend of the world … But he decided not to bother with the nonsense of history.
He returned to the regret of not having a secretary.
He felt that he had to speed up the training of a group of female Retainer Knight to be his personal bodyguards. Otherwise, there would be no atmosphere and passion when he gave speeches and gave pointers.
After inspecting the town's buildings, Zhang Xuan returned to the castle.
He went straight to the study, took out a thick bast paper and a quill, and prepared to sort out his plans for the Flower Town.
"If the Flower Town is to be built into an economy that mainly focuses on the primary processing of agricultural products, then the current layout of the town will have to be replanned and the trade routes will have to be modified. Land transportation conditions are far inferior to sea transportation. Sailing directly from the sea to Coral City would save more transportation capacity. "
He first drew a rough map of the Coral Island.
In the study of the Count in Tulip Castle, a map of the Coral Island was hung on the wall. The whole island was in the shape of a distorted "8".
The northeast corner was the Flower Town. The narrow part in the middle of the "8" was the deep-water port. The Coral City was built next to the deep-water port.
Limited by the terrain, it was impossible to travel in a straight line from the Flower Town to the Coral City. In the middle, one would have to pass through the North Valley City and the Yulin City in the shape of a 'Z', which would waste a lot of time.
"The geographical location of the Flower Town is remote. The wharf must be built quickly and the sea can be opened. Land transportation can be supplemented by building a checkpoint at the entrance to the Thorns Ridge. In this way, the Flower Town's main area will be divided into three parts: the wharf, the town, and the Thorns Ridge, which will respectively undertake trade and processing tasks. "
He wrote a few Serpentines in the workshop area of the town.
They were all workshops planned to be built – Sugar Workshop, Spice Workshop, Textile Workshop, Leather Workshop, Paper Workshop, Tofu Workshop, Tulip Workshop, as well as shoe shops, bone shops, and so on.
At the wharf, he also wrote the planned workshops – Brick Factory, Cement Factory, Pottery Kiln Factory, Salt Factory, Glass Workshop, and so on.
Near the Thorns Ridge checkpoint, there were also planned workshops – Carpentry Workshop, Slaughterhouse, Horse Market, and so on.
Some of these workshops did not have enough craftsmen to support them, and some had technology to be developed. But in Liszt's vision, these should be achievable through hard work.
But soon.
He lost interest in writing again.
"Kosto has reported that the Flowers are ready to go to sea at any time. Now we only need to wait for Glanny to build the Calm Pearl, and then we can explore Black Horse Island."
Once Black Horse Island was seized, his future strategy would focus on Black Horse Island.
The importance of Flower Town would undoubtedly drop a lot. Especially when he achieved military merits and turned Black Horse Island into his own fief, he would definitely hand it over to Flower Town. Just like the Tulip family gave up their original fief and moved to the Coral Island, taking root in the new territory.
"When I have enough financial and material resources to solve the technical problems of paper, cement, tofu, glass, and so on, I am afraid I will already be a Viscount of Black Horse Island."
Thorn sprites could be born at any time. Once there were sprites, they could generate a steady stream of financial resources. It would not be difficult to arm a Knight squad.
At that time, it would not be difficult to charge on the battlefield and make contributions.
The Grass Family and the Gravel Family were awarded the title of Viscount by virtue of their respective sprites. As the son of the Count, as long as he made contributions, there was no reason for the Count not to grant his son the title of Viscount. At that time, Black Horse Island could be designated as his own fief – the aristocrats could exchange credit for deserted islands.
In case of great contributions on the battlefield, it would not be impossible for the Grand Duke to directly enfeoff the island.
Becoming a direct vassal of the Grand Duke was more dazzling than being a Marquis or an Earl's vassal, and his promotion in the future would be faster – rulers always liked to promote new aristocrats to check and balance the old aristocrats.
"But once I become a vassal of the Grand Duke, I will have to be independent from the Tulip family. Will I be the Viscount of Black Horse Island, Liszt Thorn?"
Of course, this possibility was relatively small. He was just a Baron. How much contribution could he make to be valued by the Grand Duke? Moreover, he was a vassal of the Count. The Grand Duke generally would not cross the line and win over the vassals of his subordinates. In particular, the Count had a good relationship with the Grand Duke, so he would not be casually roped in.
"Anyway, Black Horse Island is mine. The Black Dragon Horse herd must not be touched by anyone!"
If he wanted Black Horse Island, he had to make contributions and get the title.
Liszt put down his quill and looked out of the window. In the distance, several horses were leisurely eating grass. "People will die on the battlefield … At that time, I will see if I can find the same position as Levis, act as a liaison, do logistics, and get some merit."
He paused.
He calmly said to himself, "But, the Knight squad must be trained as soon as possible, my own qi cultivation must also be accelerated, and Dosen's training must also be strengthened!"
