Chapter Thirty-Eight

Gowan Cecil returned safely and brought documents signed by the king and news of support from the royal family.

Viscount Andrew, who had been waiting in Tanzan for nearly three months, felt that he had made the right decision: the founding hero seven hundred years ago did not disappoint him. He was not just a warrior like he was worried at the beginning, but a figure with both cunning and strategy.

But he didn't expect that the founding hero would choose to use the Dark Mountains as the starting point for his family to revive.

As a little noble who sits in the southern border area, Viscount Andrew is naturally familiar with the Dark Mountains. In fact, the original Cecil and Leslie are all on the north side of the Dark Mountains. On clear days, you can see the magnificent natural barrier when you look up. The mountains block the air that is not conducive to health. At the same time, it also makes many people feel scared because of its own many monsters and frequent monsters. Even the most desperate hunters rarely go to the Dark Mountains to make a living - even if the lords in the south have opened up the hunting rights in the mountains.

The original Cecil is located at a point west of the north of the Dark Mountains, and the northeast is Tanzan Town. The "New Cecil" selected by Gauwen is located in the southeast of the Tanzan Town. The three are roughly formed into a triangle, but the distance between the "New Cecil" and the Dark Mountains is the closest of the three, and its south even goes directly into the mountains.

There is a tributary of the Baishui River flowing in front of Tanzan town that will be injected into the "New Cecil Territory". In terms of transportation, the new home is a good place: it can easily obtain material support from Tanzan town. At the same time, if the territory develops in the future, the trade cost will be reduced a lot.

But if the premise is that if Gao Wen led his people to really gain a foothold in that barren land.

In Viscount Andrew's castle, the thin and rigorous nobleman seemed worried: "I am forgiving, Lord Duke, the first place you chose is not...so suitable. Although there is a lot of land there, it is too close to the dark mountains and lacks protection from civilized society. The beasts in the mountains are a great threat. Moreover, every year in the fog moon, there will be unclean winds passing through the mountains and blowing from the wasteland of Gondor. Strong soldiers may be fine, but the poor and weak civilians and serfs cannot withstand..."

"You should have seen the map and know that although the places I can choose are vast, the situation is almost the same," Gao Wen seemed dissatisfied. "In the circle of places close to the Dark Mountains, the land I chose is the best - unclean winds can be resisted by medicine and magic. I will find a way to solve the problem myself. As long as we can survive the first year, we can mine ore from the Dark Mountains and the territory will gain a foothold."

He couldn't just say that the reason he chose such a place was because the national fortune treasure house was buried in the mountain from 700 years ago, right?

At least you have to wait until you open the treasure house and get everything in hand, so that outsiders can know this, and it must be limited to knowing it - it is impossible to hide it completely. Those materials must be used. Once they are taken out for construction, a fool can guess the truth.

It can only be guaranteed that the fewer people know the better before all of those things come in handy.

Seeing Gao Wen's firm attitude, Viscount Andrew certainly couldn't say anything more. He just reminded him: "This is your decision, and I will naturally try my best to support it, but please remember our initial transaction."

Gao Wen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the Cecil family never owe money - if you really don't worry, I will put one or two pieces of antiques on me on you?"

Rebecca, who was sitting opposite the table and reported to Aunt Hetty about her experience in the capital, immediately raised her head and looked at Gao Wen's direction and his eyes shining: The ancestors were the same as theirs! Does this mean that they inherited their family traditions?

Hetty knocked on Rebecca's forehead lightly and seriously: "Don't look around - continue saying that you were just busy eating from beginning to end at the banquet held by the king?!"

"I'm still drinking-I'm already an adult, I can drink a little..."

Looking at this girl with a bad brain, Hetty looked desperate: "My God..."

As for Viscount Andrew, of course, he could not accept Gao Wen's "good intention", so he had to wave his hand quickly: "No need, no need, I believe in the credibility of the Cecil family and the guarantee of the founding hero... Then when are you going to set off?"

"The sooner the better," Gao Wen nodded, "We will leave after we prepare the supplies. The support the king promised will have to wait at least a month. I have to let my leaders gain a foothold in my new home first."

For those who escaped from the disaster of the old Cecil leader, the three-month period of cultivation ended, and the return of the lord from the capital meant that they must immediately prepare for a new life.

Even most of them don’t know what their new life looks like.

Knight Philip and Knight Byron were sent out and took people to buy necessary supplies and materials necessary to build new territory in Tanzan - food, tools, tents, medicines, and many necessities they could not even imagine.

The items needed to be prepared were piled up, even Hetty, who had been assisting in the management of territorial affairs, and Byron, who was an old minister of the Cecil family, did not know how to start. No one knew what it was necessary to build a territory from scratch. In this regard, only Gao Wen could help. During the Great Development Period seven hundred years ago, Ansu's ancestors built their homes from scratch. Regarding the matters to be prepared for in the development period, Gao Wen's memory in his mind was a valuable experience.

Of course, due to the seven hundred years of time difference, Gao Wen's experience and knowledge may not be completely effective, but the basic theories are not much different.

No matter how the tools develop and change, the problems that pioneers have to solve in the wilderness are still the same, nothing more than food, clothing, housing, transportation, and medical protection.

As for the funding issue, Viscount Andrew had previously returned the gold and silver property of the Cecil family, and the money saved by the Knight Philippe was not sufficient, but it was still barely enough to prepare the initial materials.

The refugees from Cecil's leadership walked around the town, purchasing supplies and hiring vehicles, which naturally attracted the attention of the locals. They had already heard of the resurrection of the founding hero, and recently heard about the return of the lord Miss Cecil from the capital. So naturally, they knew that these "outsiders" who had lived in the town for three months were finally leaving.

Most of the lower-class people in Tanzan Town did not care about the stay and departure of these "outsiders", but the "outsiders" had to buy a lot of things before leaving, which made the commercial guild in the town make a lot of money, so their complaints about their lords immediately reduced a lot. Before that, the lords requisitioned a lot of shacks for outsiders to live in, and the poor refugees could not even find a few copper coins, which really made many business people very dissatisfied with them.

While the two family knights were running to prepare supplies, Gowen asked Hetty and Rebecca to count all the Cecil constituents and asked them to list the more than 800 survivors in a detailed roster.

"We must accurately determine each person's name, age, gender, health status, and skill, and group them by family. At the same time, a list is also listed separately, and carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths are listed separately. By the way, if possible, give each person a number for easy access."

This is the task assigned by Gao Wen to his two great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-gre

They have never heard of what basic information registration is, and they don’t know how this so-called “form” is made.

"I haven't even conducted basic population registration?" Seeing the confused expressions of Hetty and Rebecca, Gao Wen felt that he was even more confused than the other party, "Then how do you count the population in the territory?"

Rebecca said with a simple look on his face: "Aunt Hetty is in charge of the territory around the castle, and several knights are in charge of the fiefs of several knights. It is probably the only way to know how many men, women, elderly, and children are. As for who is the blacksmith and who is the carpenter, the people living around know each other, just ask for it."

Gao Wen: "…"

Damn it? Just ask for a question? The legendary look in governing the country, the face is stable, and the shouting is pacifying the world?

Noting the changing face of Gao Wen's face, Hedy suddenly became nervous: "Mr. Ancestor... Did you and the ancestors use the table you mentioned to count the population when they founded the country?"

Gao Wen quickly made up the information in his mind, and after a moment, he looked dirty.

Mom... It was even more chaotic back then.

The Gondor Empire collapsed overnight, and the prosperous and developed central regions were completely destroyed. Fortunately, those who survived the first wave of shock were all the populations of remote areas - and that ancient empire was a typical unbalanced society, and its development form was even almost deformed in Gao Wen's opinion: because the magic technology in this world must rely on the magic focus, and the natural magic focus is limited, all the advanced technologies of the Gondor Empire are accumulated around the "deep blue" in the central part of the continent, as for the remote areas with thin magic focus...

Being incredible behind.

So after the demon tide exploded with the "deep blue" center, all the advanced technology and advanced knowledge populations of the Gondor Empire were sacrificed to the sky, and the survivors were screened over and over again in the continuous energy radiation. Finally, when the pioneers led everyone to escape from the sky, human civilization could be said to have completely collapsed...

To put it bluntly, the four major countries were established by a group of primary school students and a group of illiterate students.

However, in this world with extraordinary power, the individual power at the top can offset the overall decline caused by the backwardness of civilization to a certain extent. Therefore, the four major countries were established under the support of a group of pioneers with overwhelming combat power, and withstand the pressure from all aspects of the founding of the country.

But, but, but!
