After Sefir simply finished the report on the recent overall economic development of New Sauer Island, the carriage also left New Sauer Port along a newly built gravel road. After driving for seven or eight minutes, it arrived at New Sauer. After the intersection, they turned west and drove to a small **** not far from the city. According to the plan, this place will be the location of the new Earls Court. So now this place is full of leaders who come to work because of the slack in agriculture.

"This location will build a modern permanent fortress with the nature of fortifications." After getting off the car, Syfiel pointed to the busy construction site and said to Lawrence. "According to the view of the commander of the Guardsman Joseph and Grandpa Bayer the housekeeper, setting up the Earls Court in this place can on the one hand gain a certain opportunity in future urban development. On the other hand, it can also form a mutual relationship with the existing city. The state of cover is more conducive to the security of the territory."

Lawrence naturally understands the reason why the retainers have made great efforts here, because according to the traditional point of view, it is an aristocratic territory. The location of the nobility is naturally the top priority, and it is also the core of the stability of a territory. So after everything in the current territory has stabilized, the first thing they did was build the earl's mansion.

Of course, all of Lawrence's retainers are a group of traditional nobles of the Holy Visby Empire. Therefore, the most traditional habit was naturally adopted when building this kind of pioneering earl's mansion. According to this habit, the most important aspect of Earls Court apart from its large space is that it can be used as a military fortress.

In fact, over time, even in the newly reclaimed territories of the empire, there are not many such noble residences. Even the people who built this kind of mansion would be considered to be an old hat. Compared with the construction of this kind of military fortress that looks earthy and ugly, the local nobles are more modern mansions.

As for the safety issue, it is not something that nobles need to consider, because Lawrence is the only noble who is willing to go directly to the wilderness to open up a fief in the past 10 years. And now popular among the nobles. The operation was that the nobles ordered their retainers to take charge of all this, and they would never go to such a place.

"It looks like the overall layout is good." Lawrence commented from a high place looking at the busy construction site. At this time, the foundation of the Earls Court had been dug, and the stone walls of the underground part had begun to be built. Most importantly, considering that Lawrence himself is a spellcaster, there is still room for a possible arcane tower in the vicinity of Earls Court.

Since reinforced concrete is not particularly good in durability, the entire castle was built according to the traditional stone building method. Therefore, even if there is extraordinary power to help in the construction process, it will take 6-8 months for the entire building to be repaired. If you consider that most of the manpower on this agricultural island can only work during the slack period, this time will be greatly extended to one year to one and a half years.

"It's certainly not bad. Your father, Mr. Lambert, specially wrote to the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge in the New World to ask them to help design it." Saifei said with great pride. After all, although the nobles built many mansions, they could find knowledge. The church's specially designed residences are absolutely rare, and this matter is even worth recording on the genealogy of the nobles.

"So it's like this!" Lawrence also showed a look of surprise on his face. As far as he knows, when it comes to building design, the top class in the world is naturally dragons, followed by elves and dwarves. After all, the age of this longevity species is placed there, and their accumulation in this area is naturally much stronger than that of creatures with shorter life spans like humans.

However, under normal circumstances, humans generally would not invite these extraordinary races to help them design buildings. Not to mention that their fees are not cheap. At the same time, a large amount of special materials produced by them need to be imported during construction. The most important problem is that the buildings designed by these creatures are all aimed at their own race. It is not necessarily suitable for humans.

When it comes to architectural design in the human context, it is natural that knowledge churches with a lot of experience and knowledge are better at this. However, because of the nature of the knowledge church, most people can only find a design institute that has a close relationship with the knowledge church, and only a very small number of people can let the church itself take action. Also because they took too few shots, the design of the church to obtain knowledge in the circle of nobility is often regarded as a kind of glory.

"But now this earl's mansion should not be able to be repaired in a while." After the euphoria passed, Lawrence looked at a busy construction site and asked Syfiel on the side. "So the next big party will definitely not be held here, so where did you arrange the venue?"

"We have arranged the venue in a more distinctive place, come with me, and I will show you." Nara said and motioned Lawrence to follow herself back to the avenue when she came, and then went back to just now. When I came, I walked straight to the west of the island at the intersection.

This road seems to have been used for a while, so Lawrence saw a lot of signs of use on the gravel-paved road. And when they were walking, one or two freight wagons filled with things or people were often passed by on the road. If he remembered correctly, this road should be a way to the interior of this plain. Of the farm.

"Did you put the banquet place on the farm?" Lawrence asked Syfiel next to him after five or six minutes of walking on the road. "Although I can proudly say that our farms are placed on the surrounding islands, and even the entire New World is among the top farms, but it may be a little too late to entertain the group of nobles and wealthy people."

"You're right, so I just borrowed the places from those farms." Saifei said with a smile. In her eyes, Lawrence has always been that kind of very smart and sure of everything, so right Lawrence was a little surprised to guess wrong in this regard. "After all, the city is too small, and it would be very cramped to entertain those guests."

"So I simply chose to use the rice fields that have been put in dry water as the venue for this banquet." When it came to this, Syfiel gave Lawrence a glance and continued. "Compared with our simple, even rudimentary houses and offices. I think the tents and furniture we brought may be the only things that fit your earl status."

"Uh, to be honest, I didn't expect that there would be only such a time to start socializing on the island~lightnovelpub.net~ Lawrence said helplessly. "I also consulted specifically when I was in the Empire. Generally speaking, The pioneering aristocrats like me often visit the territory only after a year, and only get together after two or three years. God knows why so many people came to visit us in only five months or so. "

"What you're talking about is just an unwritten tradition. If you really want to talk about tradition, why don't you say that there were basically no nobles to visit on this island before you came." Saifeier said a little bit angry. "Think of the virtues of those nobles. For them, understanding and tradition are just embellishments to show their identity. These things are worthless when facing interests."

"Uh-well, what you said makes sense." Lawrence shrugged helplessly and said. He also heard Seifer's tone that he had put her pigeons before and made her take charge of this matter. Dissatisfied, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject and praised. "Actually, it is great that you decided to hold this gathering in the rice fields, because the theme of this gathering is about food harvest, and holding this gathering in the rice fields is very suitable."

Of course, this praise is not nonsense. For the nobles, although the magnificent living room and the exquisite tableware can trigger the fluctuations in their hearts, they are only limited in their hearts. After all, they usually live like that, naturally it is impossible to have too much emotion.

Therefore, although Saifei's arrangement was the result of desperation, from a certain perspective, it was also a way of entertaining the nobles that made them very fresh. In addition, they can get benefits here, so Lawrence thinks there should be no problems with this reception.
