The streets of Ironwood City are very spacious. The pavement paved with stone slabs looks clean and tidy. Many houses on both sides are newly built. The entire city planning is very rigorous. It can be seen that the designer has not weak obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Li Cha rode a horse on the spacious avenue of Ironwood City, and looked at this small city built by himself with scrutiny.

Under Li Cha's management for several years, Ironwood City has attracted tens of thousands of people to settle down. Although the population is far from that of some modern county-level cities, it can still be called a city in this foreign land whose productivity is only slightly stronger than that of the Middle Ages. Be prosperous.

The New Year has passed, but spring has not yet arrived, the weather has not warmed up, it will be late, and there are only a few pedestrians on the street.

The cold nights in the north are the most long and hard. If ordinary people spend the night outside their houses, they will be frozen into ice sculptures the next day.

Li Cha couldn't help speeding up his return home. Although he was a quasi-knight with excellent physical fitness, he didn't want to experience the coldness of the northern night.

...

The Ironwood Castle stands on a high ground in the Ironwood City, and the stone wall is five feet high.

Arrow towers are reasonably distributed on the castle to ensure that the arrows fired by the guards can attack all attacking enemies without dead ends.

Different from the brand-new buildings in Ironwood City, although Ironwood Castle is often repaired, there are always some marks of swords and small holes on the wall that are difficult to repair, and it has a vicissitudes of life.

The Ironwood Fort has been managed by three generations of the Hunter family. It started to be built by Richard's deceased grandfather, and gradually gained a foothold in the constant friction and conflict with snow pirates, savages, and half-elf tribes.

It was not until Li Cha's generation that the Iron Wood City was built on the back of the Iron Wood Fort under the promotion of Li Cha.

...

"stand at attention"

"The team members who participated in the bear hunt today, except Pierre, can each receive a silver Gnar."

When everyone heard that, except for Pierre, all of them were happy. One silver Gnar was enough for a family of three to live decently for a month, and it was equivalent to their salary for one month. The soldiers who participated in this bear hunt were considered to have made a small fortune. .

"Disband!"

Following Li Cha's order, the soldiers happily walked back to the barracks, and the soldiers patrolling and standing guard all cast envious looks at them.

Although Master Li Cha stipulates that all soldiers participate in the bear hunt in rotation, but not every time there is a harvest, and sometimes there is no trace of the bear and they can only return empty-handed.

Of course, Li Cha will not be at a disadvantage. The forest giant bear is full of treasures. The bear skin can be made into expensive clothes and is sought after by the upper class nobles of the capital. After processing, it is worth at least 3 Jinnars if sold to the Chamber of Commerce.

(100 Silver Gnars = 1 Gnars, 100 Coppers = 1 Silver Gnars)

...

After inspecting the barracks for a while, after feeling a sense of presence in front of the soldiers, Li Cha turned and walked to the main house in the backyard of the castle, where his parents and several uncles and aunts lived.

…………

It has been the seventeenth year since Li Cha came to this world, and the memory of his previous life is somewhat blurred. Now he has fully accepted his new identity, the Young Lord of Ironwood City, the eldest young master of Viscount Hunter's family-Li Cha. Charlie Hunt.

As a student of liberal arts in his previous life, he couldn't even remember the formula of gunpowder, and he couldn't improve technology in this different world with backward productivity.

At most, according to the vague memory, the craftsmen were guided to make a pulley and used it on the bed crossbow, so Ironwood City's heavy military weapon "Bear Hunting Crossbow" was freshly released.

However, in terms of the management system, Richard has made a comprehensive reform of the management system of the entire Hunter family.

Perhaps it is not so much about reforming the management system as it is about establishing it, because in the eyes of Richard, a graduate student of economics and management, the previous management of the Hunter family is nothing like it. The father and a few uncles just collect taxes, drink wine and fight wars, which is completely empirical Extensive blind management combined with personal preference.

After Li Cha obtained the management rights of the territory, he cleaned up the cultivated land in the entire territory, divided the land into upper, middle and lower grades according to the degree of fertility, and strictly formulated the tax laws of the territory.

After executing the tax officials of several villages, the authority of the new law was quickly established, which nearly doubled the tax revenue of Hunter Territory without raising taxes.

Taking advantage of the heat of the new tax law, Richard followed up with the decree on the Hunter's territory, a law that is extremely rough from a modern point of view, but at this time, the Hunter's territory is so meticulous that everyone is amazed.

...

Richard came to the bright hall of Ironwood Castle. The hall is spacious and simply furnished. The whole decoration style is clean and tidy. Perhaps the Hunter family has only been passed down for three generations, and the fiefdom is far away from the bustling royal capital, so there is no sense of luxury.

Walking through the hall to the garden of the castle, there were some noisy sounds from the dining room in the garden, and several maids could be vaguely seen shuttling among them. It should be that the members of the Hunter family were getting together to have dinner.

"Cousin Li Cha!"

Li Cha followed the voice and turned his head to look, only to see a ten-year-old child running towards him excitedly.

"Oh, little Tilly." Li Cha leaned over and hugged the running child into his arms.

Little Tilly is the youngest son of Third Uncle Richard, and the old Viscount Hunter, who founded Ironwood Castle, had three sons in his life.

When Old Hunter passed away, only Richard's father was a knight, successfully inherited the title, and became the current Viscount Hunter Sauter, while Richard's two uncles were no more than quasi-knights in terms of personal strength. He began to do his best to assist his eldest brother Sauter to guard the territory, and the whole family could be said to be sincerely united.

"Cousin Li Cha, can you take me with you next time you go bear hunting?"

"Hahaha, when little Tilly grows taller and can dance with a knight sword, my cousin will take you there."

The knight swords here are all heavy two-handed epees, the lightest is nearly twenty pounds, at least quasi-knight-level warriors can use them.

Ten-year-old Little Tilly had some difficulty lifting the knight's sword, let alone swinging it.

Little Tilly also heard Li Cha's evasion, and hugged Li Cha's arm heavily, pursing his mouth, his face full of displeasure.

Li Cha carried little Tilly through the garden and went straight to the dining room. All the maids he met stopped to salute him, and Li Cha also nodded slightly in response.

When I came to the dining room, the table was already full of food. The dishes were not exquisite but very rich.

With big pieces of meat and big bowls of wine, the nouveau riche of the Hunter family caught his eye.

Both sides of the dining table were already filled with members of the Hunter family. Li Cha's aunts and cousins ​​were sitting at the bottom, chattering non-stop, and the two uncles were sitting near the main seat. Li Cha's parents sat on the main seat, and there was an empty seat beside him for Li Cha.

"Li Cha is back, I have gained a lot today."

"Our Li Cha is getting more and more handsome, I don't know how many little girls are going to be fascinated."

Li Cha responded modestly to the teasing of his relatives, and naturally sat next to his father.

Viscount Salter nodded reservedly to Li Cha, but Li Cha's mother had already kindly held Li Cha's hand, and began to check whether her precious son was injured.

"When you lead soldiers to hunt bears, you must pay attention to safety and don't hurt yourself."

"Uh-huh."

Facing his mother's concern, Li Cha could only nod his head.

"Haha, sister-in-law, our Li Cha's skills can kill a giant forest bear alone, let alone bring a bear hunting crossbow and soldiers, what kind of injuries can we suffer?"

"cough"

Viscount Sauter coughed and interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Since Li Cha is back, let's start eating."

...

The Hunter family had a happy dinner. The whole Hunter family can be regarded as a respectful brother, a loving father and a filial son.

Richard's father, Viscount Sauter, was an official knight, and he was like a pinnacle of family stability.

Although Li Cha's second and third uncles failed to be promoted to knights, they are also peak quasi-knights with five times the physical fitness of ordinary people and have rich combat experience. They will not be disadvantaged in a short time against two or three ordinary quasi-knights.

Since Li Cha's father inherited the title, he has been conscientiously assisting him to ensure the safety of the territory.

Li Cha is the only child of Viscount Salter, but there are several cousins ​​in the whole family. These brothers and sisters were crushed by Li Cha from childhood to adulthood, and they are even more obedient to Li Cha.

Not long after the inheritance of the Hunter family, the entire continent is not peaceful. The eastern part of the kingdom is constantly threatened by orcs. From time to time, it is heard that the port in the southern bay has been ransacked by Naga, and there are occasional cannibals in the depths of the adjacent Ironwood Forest. The demon tribe haunts, and the war is never far away.

The strong sense of crisis made the whole family twist into one rope. The relatives of each family did not have any intrigues, and they did not bring any messy jokes. As long as it was beneficial to the Hunter family, the whole family would implement it to the end.

When Li Cha reformed the territorial system, the two uncles were the sharp blades of his reform. All opponents and petty tricks were suppressed by these two uncles with absolute force.
