The number of horse thieves has always been quite large.

　　 But after the eight thousand horse thieves were wiped out by Richard, there was nothing left of the horse thieves in the northeastern province.

　　 means that there are some robbers with a number of one or two hundred, or a few people, and some are active.

　　 Dorothy said: "It should be from the mainland."

　　 Richard said: "Let Charlotte take the men and horses and kill them directly when they encounter the horse thief."

　　 Dorothy said: "Yes, Master."

　　 After speaking, Richard asked Mia on the other side: "Mia, have you ever counted, which products are the most popular?"

　　 Mia was looking at a book, and when she heard Richard's voice, her cat's ears moved and said:

"The best selling now is soap besides food. Every time a caravan comes, you have to buy a lot of goods. In addition, the residents of the city also like to buy it. Master, you have to stock a little more. In addition, it is porcelain, mirrors and women's use. Things like hairpins and accessories. By the way, I made a statistical table."

　　 After Mia finished speaking, she walked into the study room that Richard had prepared for her, and took out a notebook from it.

　　 As Richard's current financial controller, Mia is still very well prepared.

　　 And now Mia has learned to be smart, and let the people below do many specific things. She is only responsible for checking and controlling the overall situation, and then regularly reporting the situation to Richard.

　　 After all, it's different now.

　　 The population of the territory now exceeds 200,000. With so many people, if she wants to do all the statistics by herself, it is estimated that she may not be busy without eating or drinking every day.

　　 Richard took it over and looked at it.

　　 Richard buys a large number of small commodities from a certain treasure every time, and then gives them to Mia to send statistics and put them in stores in the city for sale.

　　 With this statistic, Richard’s purchases can be more accurate, and the ones that are popular can be bought more, and then some new products will be released from time to time.

　　 After reading it, Richard had some understanding in his heart.

　　It’s best to make money from nobles and women.

　　 "Mia, good job."

　　 Richard complimented the cat ear mother.

　　 Mia stretched out a big laziness, and muttered: "Master, you can do a few more tricks to settle the bill. If this continues, I will get old ahead of time."

　　 Richard looked at her cute look, couldn't help but shaved her nose, and said, "Mia, are you about to turn eighteen?"

　　 Hearing what Richard said, Mia didn't know what she thought of. After a glance at Dorothy, her face suddenly flushed.

　　 "There are still a few months left."

　　 She dropped a word, took the statistics sheet, and left as if to escape.

　　 Richard was at a loss.

　　 It's Dorothy, smiling secretly there, blushing.

　　 Life in the castle is always full of warmth in the ordinary.

　　 Outside the castle, it is still in full swing.

　　 After a few more days, the road to Shibao City has been completely repaired.

　　 At the request of Earl Ike, the road-building team went south again, preparing to connect Cima City with several larger cities in the south.

　　After repairing the road to Shibao City, the happiest thing is the caravans.

　　 In this way, their speed from Bauhinia City to Shibao City was much faster.

　　 In the past, the carriage had to go for at least a few days, but now it takes ten hours or even less when the carriage is empty.

　　 Even if the car is full, it will only take a few more hours.

　　 In the past, such a speed was almost unimaginable.

　　 With such high efficiency, these merchants are also very happy to pay tolls.

　　 On the day when the road was repaired, Richard's first magic bow was finally completed.

　　 After finishing this magic bow, Richard felt that his magic skills had been greatly improved.

　　 "Master, are you finished?"

　　Mi Wei has been with Richard's side these days. She is also interested in engraving magic lines, but Mi Wei can't understand it at all.

　　 Richard picked up the magic bow, nodded, and said, "Well, it's done."

　　 He looked up the magic bow.

　　 The magic pattern engraved on it is naturally not engraved randomly.

　　 is carved with the texture of the bow.

　　 Therefore, the main reason for Richard's previous failure was not because of his poor level.

　　 But because the bows of those bows themselves did not meet the conditions.

　　To make a magic bow, the texture of the bow must be quite smooth, neat, and there can be no slight deviation.

The wood used for these wooden bows purchased by Richard is made of yew wood specially used to make long bows. According to the store where Richard bought these yew woods, they are still imported, so the price of such wooden bows is also quite high. Expensive.

　　 However, even if it is yew, there is no guarantee that the wood texture of every bow will be perfect.

　　 After discovering the pattern, Richard looked for several bows before he found a qualified bow.

After the 　　 magic pattern is inscribed, if you don’t know it, you might think it is a beautiful pattern decoration.

　　 does look quite beautiful.

　　 and full of mystery.

　　 Because of the engraved magic lines, the appearance of the entire bow has improved a lot.

　　 "Go, let's try it."

　　 Richard was holding the magic bow and was about to go to the shooting range to try it.

　　 The shooting range is next to the barracks, which is specially for the training of fox archers and some talented human archers.

　　 The training of archers is not easy, but as the population on the territory increases, Richard has also begun to expand the camp of human archers.

　　In the future, the fox archers can carry out medium and long-range strikes, while the human archers follow the legion.

　　 As for the elves, they are used to make some precise strikes.

　　 "Is the master's bow finished?"

　　 Seeing Richard walking out with Mi Wei, Dorothy and Mia also looked over curiously.

　　 Richard said: "It's finished, let's go, I'm about to go to the shooting range to try it."

　　 Mia and Dorothy were also curious about Richard's bow.

　　 After all, Richard had tossed this bow for nearly a month.

　　 So, the two beast ear mothers were going to go to the shooting range with Richard.

　　 After walking out of the castle, Richard took the three beast ears into a special carriage and headed to the shooting range.

　　 There are already many three-wheeled bicycles in Bauhinia City at this time.

　　 Many people who are in their 40s or 50s, who don't have any special skills, choose to become coachmen.

　　 They rent a car from the car dealership in the city every morning. They pay half of their daily income and half of their income.

　　 Due to the increase in the population of Bauhinia City, the residents have gradually become wealthy. Coupled with the fact that some people go to ride out of novelty, the daily income of these coachmen is not bad.

　　 However, as a nobleman, Richard would usually ride in a beautifully decorated and luxurious carriage and occasionally ride a horse on his own.

　　 Soon, Richard's carriage arrived at the shooting range.

　　 After arriving at the shooting range, Richard took advantage of the situation and opened the live broadcast room.

　　 "Oh, the anchor looks good today, and he brought three beast-eared girls out."

　　 "Excited, I haven't seen Mao Er Niang for a long time!"

　　 "Excited +1."

　　 "Look at the anchor, ready to try the bow?"

　　 "Anchor, are the lines you carved on the bow a while ago really useful?"

　　 "……"

　　 In the live broadcast room, there are already a large number of netizens waiting for Richard.

　　 Seeing Richard holding a bow and leading the beast ears to the shooting range, netizens started to discuss.

　　 During the live broadcast one day earlier, Richard had already let netizens know that he was making a magic bow.

　　 Seeing Richard arrived at the shooting range with a bow today, the netizens who watched are also very much looking forward to it.

　　 "The lord is here, everyone salutes!"

　　 When Richard entered the shooting range, all the trained soldiers stood up and saluted Richard.

　　 These soldiers are now professional soldiers, and they don’t need to be involved in labor.

　　I train almost every day.

　　In these trainings, physical training is always the top priority.

　　 After all, without a good physical stamina, one cannot sustain a long battle.

　　Physical training should be accompanied by enough food.

　　 If there is not enough food, physical training will only consume a person’s potential.

　　 But by ensuring adequate and nutritious food, physical training can continuously improve the physical fitness of these soldiers, making these soldiers stronger and better endurance.

　　 And Richard's physical training is not just running, he also bought a lot of professional equipment.

　　 For these archers, there is still arm strength training.

　　 It is necessary to do gravitation every day.

　　Of course, sometimes it depends on talent. Ordinary soldiers are okay. Archers really depend on talent.

　　 Unless you have been in contact with bows since childhood, a qualified archer still needs a long period of training.

　　 And after training, there is not necessarily a fox archer that is good.

　　 Anyway, it is always a supplement.

　　 Richard comes to the barracks every few days, and his prestige among the soldiers is quite high.

　　 After every soldier saw Richard, his eyes were full of admiration.

　　 This time Richard was not here to inspect.

　　He came to a target position and said to a small team leader: "Go and move the target farther, to the farthest place."

　　 "Yes, Lord!"

　　 The captain ran over with a few people.

　　 The target used for training is generally only 30 meters away.

　　 For these human archers, 30 meters away, there is no need for accuracy.

　　The bows they use are not very heavy, generally the effective range of a flat shot is 34 meters, and the projectile can reach more than 100 meters.

　　A flat shot is different from a projectile. A flat shot will fall after flying a certain distance. This is unavoidable.

　　 projectile is to shoot into the sky, the trajectory of the arrow is a parabola, because the feathers behind the arrow can take advantage of the wind, the natural range is longer.

　　 If you want to shoot accurately, is it bigger? The calculation of the parabola is unrealistic. It depends on experience and feeling.

　　 In addition, if a condescending bow and arrow attack, the shooting range will be much farther.

　　 In short, the use of bows and arrows is much more complicated than guns, and it is also a weapon that requires more technical content and arm strength.

　　 The team leader took someone to move the target.

　　 On the shooting range, when he heard that Richard was about to try his own arrows, all the archers gathered around.

　　 Including 300 fox archers also surrounded.

　　 And as the disappearance spread, some soldiers in the barracks also wanted to come and watch.
