Looking at Sir Horn’s awkward and stunned expression, Lena laughed and then patted the other person on the shoulder: "But you are my friend, I am willing to give you these sugar as a gift!"

Rainer stood up, tied the bag, and put it in Sir Horn's hand, and said, "Our friendship is far more important than this little sugar, isn't it?"

It is unavoidable that a seventeen-year-old who looks very immature and old-fashioned to say such a thing to a middle-aged man with a beard is a bit strange, but in the hearts of the two, such a scene does not violate.

Although Lena was a teenager, the sense of maturity brought by being in a high position was very obvious. A series of victories and a series of orders made his prestige soar.

No one would, and no one dared to regard him as an immature, unreliable young man who could deceive at will.

Sir Horn was taken aback, then put the bag on the table and said, "I am ashamed of your generosity. Thank you for your generous gift!"

Rainer smiled, and then said: "This is a new product of mine. I hope this can bring joy to other lords. Besides, I also hope you can bring some sugar to the lords of the empire. Let's try it!"

Everything Leiner said before is paving the way for this requirement.

Taking Leiner's things, Sir Horn obliged to pat his chest and said: "Don't worry, Earl Leiner, I will let all lords taste the beauty of sugar!"

...

On July 1st of the 23rd year of the Empire, the entire Northern Territory was in a busy state, even the areas near Mecalon City stopped reclaiming and started spring planting.

Reiner has this very large piece of naive arable land in the Morandburg area, which does not need to be cultivated at all, just sows.

This is the reward for the previous task, but because it was not during the spring ploughing period, so there was no seeding.

The 15,000 mu of arable land was cultivated by the three hundred systemic people who had been rewarded before, and they all had farm tools made of steel for sowing, without the help of farming horses at all.

On average, each person only needs to sow about one acre of land during the more than one month of spring plowing. Ordinary residents even sow more than three or four acres of land every day. They are already a waste of labor at such a rate.

At this time, Sir Horn had already left the northern border with the batch of steel and armored swords, and walked south in the direction of Twarinburg.

The lords in the interior have been fully fired, and the blacksmiths in the territory are working overtime to forge the steel, creating the most armor in the shortest time.

As a result, the rate of steel loss is naturally extremely rapid, and the 30 tons of steel brought back last time was quickly consumed.

On July 20th of the 23rd year of the Empire, all the arable land in the northern border was finally sown.

The 1.6 million acres of arable land in Lena Territory are all planted with soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa.

The area of ​​grain output is about 1.1 million mu, and the newly reclaimed cultivated land does not require rotation. Based on the output of 250 kilograms per mu last year, this year will be another bumper year.

In order to celebrate the end of spring plowing, Rainer decided to hold a grand banquet in Mikalon City, inviting all the nobles in the north, and also a grand knight tournament.

Holding such a competition is a very good way to stimulate business development, as well as to gather people's hearts and increase prestige. Lords are very happy to hold such events when they have the financial resources.

Not to mention that there may be more brave knights recruited to serve under his command in this competitive conference.

Rainer had a lot of merit points left before, so he bleeds again and spent 800 points of merit summoning twenty Scarlet Gryphon riders and 80 Scarlet Gryphon followers.

For the Scarlet Gryphon Knights, their fighting power, Lena is already amazing. After so many battles, only one of them died. What a terrible fighting power!

They have a layer of chain armor on the inside and a layer of plate-chain composite armor on the outside. The inner lining also has leather armor and armed clothing as the inner lining. The weight of the whole body is more than 50 kilograms!

If this is put on an ordinary person, it can almost crush a person, but it is as if there is no weight on them, and the tall figure wears such an armor to walk like a fly.

The thirty Scarlet Griffin Riders now swaggered into several teams with a hundred and twenty rebels, and they were active on the streets of Mekalong City.

In addition, the sergeants who stayed in the barracks for training all day also came out and appeared on the bustling streets.

The news that he had organized a competition meeting had spread far, and even wandering knights from some territories south of Twarinburg had come here.

According to the statistics submitted by the city gate officials and the news reported by Logan to Reiner, there were at least more than three hundred knights in Mecalon City at this time.

They came from the vast northern land of more than one million square kilometers, plus the knights and nobles of Lena's vassals, and the number of people participating in this competition is rare.

The sudden influx of so many militants into the city of Mecalon must be a factor of instability.

He doesn't think that the knights of this era have the twelve virtues of knights like in knight novels, and they can obey the pharaoh and do not cause trouble.

The meaning of the presence of the army on the streets is to suppress these armed military personnel so that they dare not act rashly.

After receiving the invitation letter from Rainer, his vassals distributed in the southeast direction immediately brought a group of knights and their family members, and rushed to Mekalong City mightily.

The present is different from the past. In the past, the two territories were not far apart, and it only took one or two days to reach them.

Now Lena’s territory is more than 300 kilometers away from them, and the entire north is more than 600 kilometers long from east to west. It takes more than ten days to reach Mecalon City~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, Mecalon was very lively, and many foreign merchants sensed business opportunities, and came to Mecalon City with their own goods.

Local businessmen were equally intuitive and started business in the service industry and catering industry. For a time, the business of Mecalon City was extremely prosperous.

However, in contrast to the decline in public order, even with the Scarlet Griffin Riders leading their retinues and a team of sergeants patrolling the streets, the city’s public order is still deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There is no way, there are too many people from the Three Religions and Nine Streams, and the current Mekalong City is comparable to the way it was before the war began.

In just half a month, nearly tens of thousands of people entered this commercial city.

Among them are thieves, merchants, **** girls, knights, retinues, poets, singers, and clown actors. In addition, a large number of mercenaries have come here to train and find their future employers.

Fighting, fighting with swords and weapons, lies and deception, theft and robbery, sensuality and gambling, Mekalong City completely lost its initial purity.
