Fred said: "Yes, Lord!"

　　 On the Bauhinia Square, ten teams on horseback set off after Richard's remarks.

　　 The purpose of these people is simple.

　　That is to go to other provinces and call the refugees here.

　　 Under the locust plague, the number of refugees has become quite large.

　　 The uprising caused more refugees.

　　 Most of these refugees fled to other wealthy provinces.

　　 Not many people come to the Northeast Province.

　　 Richard will send people to publicize and let these refugees come over on their own initiative.

　　 He is sure enough.

　　 He sent people, and the brochures in his hand were all color pictures printed in another world, and once his identity as a dragon hunter was publicized by his people, some refugees would be tempted.

　　 Given the size of Richard's current territory, the number of people is still too small.

　　 Including all the people who work, there are only more than 300,000 people.

　　 His current territory is equivalent to a municipality in the central part of the country before crossing, but that city has a population of 30 to 40 million, and Li Cha has only 300,000 here.

　　 Even if productivity is low, Richard feels that his own territory will have millions of people, even millions of talents.

　　 Of course, too many people will not work, too crowded.

　　 A few million people is enough.

　　 Besides, low productivity is a thing of the past.

　　 The productivity of Richard's current territory is not low.

　　 Population is the top priority for the development of a territory.

　　Without a sufficient population, it would be difficult for Richard to expand his army.

　　 Therefore, Richard decided to send ten teams to promote and recruit people, taking advantage of the large number of refugees now and the panic of these refugees coming in winter!

　　 There are quite a lot of refugees now, and Richard estimates that the team he sent will also be quite effective.

　　Take advantage of this winter, maybe you can gather a large number of refugees, and then just take advantage of the winter to include them, let the population of your territory exceed one million people!

　　With enough manpower, Richard will be able to further develop and make his territory more prosperous.

　　 Moreover, there are enough people to be able to further expand the army. With the backing of the army, Richard can also recruit orcs with greater confidence.

　　 The team sent by Richard Richards all left on horseback.

On the third day after the ten teams left, Grand Duke Hill found Richard happily and said to Richard: "Richard, the king has already replied. The canonization of you as a marquis is basically stable, but The Marquis still needs to be formally canonized. You are now a quasi-marquis!"

Chapter 0187 Unlimited Development Right! trading! trust! plan!

　　 Quasi Marquis!

　　 The reason for adding a standard is actually because there is no official canonization.

　　 Richard's title has once again been improved.

　　 "Congratulations to the anchor, becoming a Marquis!"

　　 "Congratulations~"

　　 "The people of busy city sent congratulatory messages~"

　　 "The anchor is getting closer and closer to the position of the king~"

　　 "Aristocrats can only be dukes at most, right? Want to be kings...that can only rebel~"

　　 "Rebellion and rebellion, I look forward to the anchor rebellion~"

　　 "……"

　　 The words of Grand Duke Hill excited the netizens who were watching the live broadcast for a while!

　　 Now many netizens see Richard's various achievements, and they are happier than Richard himself~

　　 Becoming a Marquis naturally made Richard happy.

　　 However, Richard is more concerned about... after becoming a Marquis, will there be any changes in his territory.

Grand Duke Hill seemed to know that Richard was concerned about this issue. Before Richard could ask, Grand Duke Hill said again: "As for your territory after the canonization, the king has also considered it. In fact, your territory has already exceeded the earl. The specifications are even larger than those of some marquis and dukes. But meritorious services have to be rewarded. Now there are large tracts of unowned land in the Northeast Province. You can take half of these lands. In addition, the king gave you an infinite development. right."

　　 "Unlimited development rights?"

　　 Richard asked.

Grand Duke Hill nodded and said, "Well, it means unlimited development rights. That is to say, you can expand outward, and all the territories you obtain can belong to you. Of course, it is the king who did not give you this development right, and you won it. Naturally, the king of the territory has no way to take it away, but with this, it can have legal effect, and it will be more justified."

　　Expansion!

　　 Richard’s territory, bordered by the orc kingdom to the north, the Warcraft Mountains to the east, and desolate and populated mountains to the northwest.

　　 Richard’s expansion direction is north and east.

　　 This unlimited development right, for the current Richard, is actually not very useful, because Richard's territory is temporarily enough.

　　 And if it expands, it is not particularly easy to expand.

　　Expand to the orc kingdom? At least it's not realistic now, and it's not necessary.

　　 Don't look at Richard blocking hundreds of thousands of orcs, but with this person in hand, if he wants to actively attack the orc kingdom...the odds of winning are very small.

　　 Defense is not the same as active offense.

　　 He still has too few people.

　　 In addition, it is most cost-effective to let the orcs use them for themselves now.

　　 As for the Warcraft Mountains, it's one direction. There are a lot of Warcraft inside. These Warcraft are also quite strong. There is Xiao Hei. Richard is going to explore it for a while to see what's in the Warcraft Mountains.

　　 You can also take a look at the East of the Warcraft Mountains, is there a country?

　　 Therefore, this unlimited development right does not really have much effect for Richard at present.

　　 But Richard did understand the king's intentions.

　　 The king probably hopes that Richard can completely solve the hidden dangers of the orcs.

　　 allows Richard to guard the northern border with peace of mind.

　　I even hope that Richard can expand his territory, so that, to a certain extent, it can also be seen that the kingdom's territory has expanded.

　　 For Richard, this is just right.

　　 The king probably still looks down on the remote and sparsely populated northeast province. He has always regarded this as a buffer zone with the orcs, so he is so generous. This time he is willing to reward Richard with some fiefdom.

　　 For Richard, this position is actually just right.

　　 Duke Hill said again: "This unlimited development right can also solve your other problem."

　　 Richard looked at him.

Fair Hill said: "Your army... is actually beyond the earl’s specifications. It was in a period of war and didn’t say anything. However, once next year, some nobles might have opinions and have this unlimited right to exploit. After that, you can declare that you have been in a period of war and avoid this problem."

　　 Richard understands.

　　 Although this world is similar in many ways to the Middle Ages before crossing, it has a much larger population.

　　 A simple example, another world travels through the Middle Ages of the former West. There are only a few million people in the entire West. There are millions of people in a more prosperous province in this world.

　　 So the number of armies that nobles can have is more.

　　 But the average earl, during the non-war period, generally maintains two or three thousand private troops, and the Marquis' private army will only reach four or five thousand, but Richard's current army has nearly ten thousand.

　　 And Richard is also preparing to expand his army.

　　 No one said anything during the war. If the size of the army had been maintained during the non-war period, some other nobles might have opinions.

　　 But with unlimited development rights, Richard can say that he has been in a period of war.

After Duke Hill finished speaking, he smiled and said: "The end of the year is still a few months away. At the end of the year, most of the nobles in the country will visit the king. The king invites you to the royal capital and presides over your canonization ceremony. I will also reward you with many precious things."

　　 The calendar of this world is very similar to the Gregorian calendar of another world, but there is no lunar calendar. January 1 of each year is the New Year.

　　 There will also be some celebration activities in the New Year.

　　And nobles usually go to the capital to meet the king in the new year.

　　 Even the nobles above the viscount will go.

　　 Baron, except for influential barons, such as some barons from big families, other barons are basically not in the scope of invitation.

The distance from here to the royal capital is not too far, just over a thousand kilometers, but not all roads are plains. Generally, it takes more than ten days to ride a horse. If it is a carriage, it takes twenty days to walk one way. Even more than a month.

　　 Needless to say, walking, it would take months.

　　 Of course, if you encounter some urgent matters, if you use the fast horse to transfer, you will be able to arrive in a few days.

　　Different means of transportation take different time.

　　 If Richard took Xiaohei, it would take him more than ten hours.

　　 Duke Hill then chatted with Richard again.

　　 For example, his caravan has already set off, and it will take a few days to arrive.

　　 In addition, Duke Hill used his influence to contact the governors of several provinces. The other party was interested in the concrete roads built by Richard, and he had sent people to the northeastern province to investigate and would like to cooperate with Richard.

　　 As for the cooperation method, it needs to be confirmed after interview.

　　 Duke Hill himself has been living in Bauhinia City these days, and Richard has prepared another courtyard for him.

　　As a Duke, he is indeed rich, and his guards are also quite rich, but he has contributed a lot of gold coins to Richard.

　　 Richard still welcomes him!

　　 After talking like this for more than an hour, Duke Hill left.

　　 Richard continued to deal with some things at hand.

　　 Two more days later, one after another orcs arrived.

　　 These orcs are all orcs whose tribe is closer to Richard's territory.

　　 After they arrived, they were asked to unload their weapons before entering the town behind the Bauhinia Pass to trade.

　　 Zijing Pass’s current alert level is still very high.

　　 After all, this is the first large-scale cooperation and trade with orcs.

　　 Bauhinia pass, Richard left four legions to garrison, all the crossbowmen were also here, and the centaurs and tauren were also here.

　　 As for the elves, they have already gone back.

　　 "Please remove your weapons before you can enter. We will keep your weapons for you. In addition, you can only enter 500 at a time."

　　 Outside Zijing Pass, a group of orcs from a tribe was stopped.

　　 These orcs are carrying large bags and small bags, but they carry a lot of things.

　　 "Let's put it all down, let's go in, you are waiting outside."

　　 the tribe leader arranged.

　　 The orcs selected by the tribe leader put down their weapons one after another, took off the things carried by other companions, and entered the Bauhinia Pass.

　　 and some other orcs are waiting outside Zijingguan.

　　 When passing through the thick walls of Zijingguan, these orcs were secretly babbling.

　　 No wonder they haven't beaten this pass for a few days, this pass is simply too thick.

　　 After the orcs passed through the city wall, they passed through a Wengcheng, and then formally entered after the Zijing Pass.

　　 There is a small town here.

　　 This small town... now is relatively isolated.

　　 The orcs wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to cheat and attempt to capture the Bauhinia Pass, and that would only be able to take down this small town.

　　 The walls outside the town are also very thick.
