Even though he didn't like Lytton, Liszt still answered his questions when he asked him questions about his cultivation. Speaking of which, the reason why he did not like Lytton was mostly because of the memory of his predecessor. In his memory, Lytton did not like his predecessor, and his predecessor also disliked Lytton.
However, with the broadening of his horizons, his mentality gradually became detached, and he no longer cared about the intrigue between the so-called brothers and sisters.
In fact, he was looking forward to Lytton being promoted to a Sky Knight.
If the Tulip family had four Sky Knights, it would be interesting. After all, if he wanted to build a country, the family would be a good help.
After a while, Lvera had accompanied Madam Penélope to the castle.
The first thing the old lady said when she saw Liszt was, "When you go back, remember to go to my castle and pick up a potted plant to take back."
"Grandmother, how many new potted plants have you cultivated?" Liszt asked with a smile.
The black nightshade sprite worm, the fig sprite worm, and the green ingot sprite worm, the heritage of the three sprite worms completely made Madam Penélope indulge in her own potted plants. Perhaps she used to use potted plants as a gimmick to reduce gift spending, but now there was an atmosphere of madness.
She had sincerely believed that the potted plants she cultivated had a very high probability of producing sprite worms.
Talking about potted plants, she seemed particularly excited. "I've recently been fascinated by a batch of succulents. I found that they are very easy to raise. Each pot is healthy, fat, and tender. My cactus is about to bloom."
"Then I will definitely take away a pot."
The subsequent topics were all idle chatter.
First, they talked about the green silk. Everyone was full of praise for this fabric. It was only a matter of time before the aristocrats went crazy. Then they talked about several new stage plays performed by the Black Horse Island Drama Company, which had now become a must-see repertoire for the aristocrats of Coral City.
Many burlesque teams began to imitate the Black Horse Island Drama Company and gradually switched to stage plays.
However, they mainly copied the plays of the Black Horse Island Drama Company and had no original ability. It was not an easy task to adapt a classic play. Only Liszt would occasionally have the leisure to choose a suitable Knight novel and let Avril Mask adapt it.
There was no other way.
In the entire Coral Island, he was probably the one who read the most Knight novels.
He had the authority to say how the Knight novel should be adapted, and he knew what kind of plot people liked.
…
In the evening, the count and his wife finally returned from Coral City, and not long after, the banquet began. At the banquet, the Count talked about the preparations for this year's expansion order. According to the messenger of the court, the Grand Duke might be preparing to launch a longer expansion order this year.
"Now that you and I are both Sky Knights, and with the Blizzard Beast squad attacking the city, I believe that the merit we can compete for will not be worse than those Marquises." He said smugly, "In order to take the initiative in the fight for the title, this year's expansion order can no longer be low-key."
Last year, after the Orders of Chivalry captured a count's castle, the Coral Island Orders of Chivalry did not continue the campaign for fear of attracting attention.
In case of multiple Sky Knights besieged, it would be difficult for William Lee to resist.
But this year, there was Liszt. Others may not know, but William Lee knew very well that Liszt's combat power was far greater than his. If the two joined forces, they could cope with the general situation.
So.
If it was time to be high-profile, it was time to be high-profile.
Liszt nodded and said, "I will do my best to help you fight for merit, but I hope that the family fleet can support me in transporting serfs. My territory is being vigorously developed and needs a large number of serfs. This year's expansion order will mainly accept serfs. "
"How many serfs are you going to transport?"
"At least 20,000. If we can get a lot of food, I hope to transport 30,000 serfs back."
Black Horse Island had a lot of industries. With the potential of the territory's development, 100,000 people could easily digest it. However, the main constraint was food. Farming and fishing alone obviously could not make up for the food gap. Today, the territory has more than 30,000 people, and the food consumed every day was just enough to fill their stomachs.
In order to transport 20,000 serfs back, it would have to be raised from various aspects. The potential of seafood could continue to be squeezed. Kelp and giant algae were edible. Giant algae did not taste good, but at least they could replace livestock feed. Coupled with the mass production of single-masted sailboats, there were more and more offshore fishing.
It was not good to eat fish alone, but it could be exchanged with Tulip Castle for food.
In short, in the calculation of the territory officials, 20,000 more serfs would not cause a famine in the territory. But more would not work. A large amount of food must be transported from other places.
The Count was surprised, "You want to transport 30,000 serfs? This is not a small number. The territory of Jonas and Tricke has a total population of 60,000 and 50,000. You have been developing for less than a year and your population is going to surpass them. Can the territory really absorb them? "
"At present, the territory has a population of more than 35,100 people. It will not be a problem to accommodate another 20,000 people. As long as there is food, 30,000 is a small matter."
"It is good that you have confidence. I will arrange for the family fleet to tilt the main transport capacity to you."
At this time, Levis interjected, "Liszt, your Black Horse Island has accumulated a lot of two-masted cargo ships. You can merge with the family fleet and go together."
"My fleet is too small. At present, there are only 15 ships. At least seven ships should be left to meet the territory's cargo needs. I can only send eight ships to merge with the family fleet."
"Eight ships is also a lot of capacity."
"Then it's settled."
So.
Until the end of the banquet.
The Count held this family banquet mainly to communicate with Liszt, and then he would have the confidence to go to the Blue Sky Palace to discuss how to participate in the development order.
In the evening.
The father and son chatted alone for a while in the study.
The main content was the Count asking, "Liszt, how is your strength improving?"
"I feel that I have made great progress. Every day I reach a new level. My current strength should be far beyond the Sky Knight of Perfection level. When I was hunting the Boot-Billed Stork, it was not very difficult. "
"You are already so strong?"
"Yes, does father need to think about it?"
"Forget it." The Count coughed and changed the subject. "Speaking of this Boot-Billed Stork, I think it should have hunted the Purple Sand Crocodile on the island. I went to see the habitat of the Purple Sand Crocodile and there were traces of a fierce battle … I was waiting for the Purple Sand Crocodile to breed, but I didn't want to be destroyed in the mouth of this big bird. "
Although the meat eventually fell into Liszt's mouth, the Purple Sand Crocodile was indeed killed by the Boot-Billed Stork – Liszt just watched.
His conscience was slightly uneasy.
He thought about it and said, "If there is a chance, I will go to the mainland forest and find a suitable World of Warcraft and catch one for you, father."
The Count raised his eyebrows. "I have troubled you."
"It is my duty."
