Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 544 541. Ben Call's Account
In the magic school in the imperial capital, Ben Kaul and Rand talked alone in the lounge, and the legendary mage who learned about Rand's concerns smiled knowingly.

"This is a figure I calculated carefully, don't be ungrateful."

Ben took out a scroll, on which was the military assessment made by the Knights of the Imperial Capital based on the information provided by Yawenne.

According to their estimates, with Rand's current strength, if they want to keep the orc tribe west of the Iowa Pass, they need to borrow at least ten legends from Red Dragon Rock or the imperial capital.

If you give up the Iowa Pass and retreat to the Iron Mine-West 7 station line, then with the blessing of the magic turbulence, Rand only needs to borrow 4 legends.

Looking at the numbers on the scroll, Ben said with a smile on his face: "Now you are the favored person of Yuyue, and you are in charge of the construction of the new magic furnace. No matter whether it is Red Dragon Rock or the imperial capital, it is impossible to ask you to hand over Yeqi City. control, but if you ask others for help, you always need to open up some residential areas and let the legends insert their families in, right?"

"Do you think the members of the Lanlong, Lanyuan, Baixiao, and Kelunweir families listen to you, or do the commoners of the imperial capital listen to you more?
Even if everything goes well for you and you manage to keep the orcs at the border by yourself, your Yeqi City doesn't have 10 people right now?Do you want more people? Are you looking for the nobles in Dragon Tooth City, or Fiat Galloping Horse? "

Since Ben Kaur arrived at the Galloping Horse Plain last winter, he has realized that the population there is terribly sparse. On a large plain of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, there are only a hundred thousand barbarians, which is extremely rare in the entire empire. of.

The barbarian tribes were primitive. There was no magical agriculture in the entire plain, and they could only rely on trading ore and livestock with the empire. However, raising a certain amount of pack animals and black-scaled horses, two level 0 monsters, would also consume a lot of grain.

The lack of food and the magical cold wind that raged from time to time jointly kept the population of the barbarians at an extremely low level. This brought convenience to Rand's unification, but also limited the potential of his territory.

Especially after the activation of the magic furnace in Yeqi City, the production of food and magic plants has increased, but there are not enough people to guard these resources, and if they are too rich, they will be coveted by others.

When Ben Kaur was seriously calculating, a blank sheet of paper was unfolded beside him, and a few quills were flying up and down on the paper, recording the legendary thinking process:
"The energy produced by the leylines is faster than you can imagine. Next year, your soybean planting area will be expanded by at least 2-3 times. In addition, my previous report did not include the magic rat you just raised, nor did it include you. In the area where the elves live in the plan, these two places together can supply hundreds of middle-level people, right?"

Looking at Ben's small ledger, Rand quibbled: "Then there are still many elves in my territory!"

Ben didn't bother to refute Rand's statement: "Your forest palace itself can supply hundreds of elves. Now that there is a magic furnace in the palace, the output will only be higher!"

Soon, the Yeqi City development report written by Ben Kaul was completed and flew directly to Rand.

"Hey, look for yourself, there is nothing I haven't written, according to the development trend of your family at this time, the production of potions in three years will be able to feed thousands of middle-level ones, you will not let them Both the black scaled horse and the wind wolf are intermediate monsters, right?"

Rant took the report and read it up and down several times. Ben Kaur participated in the installation of each of his magic furnaces, and also witnessed him catching a large number of mid-level magic rats. The station and other strengths are completely transparent to Ben Kaur, and the reports given by him are naturally detailed and objective.

"Don't even mention that Glamorgan's great mentor will squeeze Gu Leya away. Gu Leia now has to draw magic lines for the magic furnace, and arrange feed for the Dragon Knights and your black scaled horse. Pay attention to the magic planting in your territory from time to time, how much time and energy can she spend on the Galloping Horse Academy?
Besides, it is a matter of time before Guleia becomes a legend in the future. Glamorgan is almost 200 years old. Will he find trouble with 30-year-old Guleia?Doesn't this mean that I have lived too long? "

Rand silently looked at the form without saying anything. Looking at the proposal of the Tower of Purity from the perspective of Ben Kaur, he can only say that he did propose a solution on the premise that he had no intention of competing with you for power. rand difficult scheme.

However, Ben Kaul has no ill will towards Rand, which does not mean that all departments in the imperial capital have no malice towards Rand, nor does it mean that there will be no spies among the nearly 40000 immigrants.

After thinking about it for a long time, Rand could only say, "No matter what I say, I don't have enough money in my territory right now. I can't force a large number of magicians into the academy while preparing for the battle. Let's start with the current 5 classes. Let’s gradually increase the number of people in the future.”

"Then you think about the size of the school in the future. I think it's about the throne of Queen Tania. There will be a lot of people who want to squeeze there." Ben said indifferently. For the legend, almost Ten years and hundreds of years pass quickly, and they don't take the time very seriously.

"Really?" Ben's words gave Rand some inspiration, "You mean, even if there is no potion supply, just relying on the queen's throne can attract people?"

……

When Rand returned to the western border, Guleya and Little Cardinal had already taken away 200 students from the imperial capital and 20 teachers. Originally Rand should only take away 5 teachers, but after negotiations and guarantees, Warcraft After the meat was served, the Tower of Purity expanded the number of teachers to 20.

If he didn't want to meet Jenny Benma, Rand would go to Yeqi City first to join the welcome dinner tonight.

However, Jenny is more troublesome than Lante imagined. As soon as she arrived at the territory, she was going to hypnotize her subordinates. If she didn't negotiate with her as soon as possible, she would ask this relative to go away. In the future, she might get mixed up with some strange forces. go.

The evening meeting was arranged on the third floor of the Iowa town bar. This bar has been remodeled according to Abedi's Camel Pub. The layout of the third floor is several relatively large reception rooms, which are convenient for important personnel informal negotiations between.

The first time I saw Jenny Galloping Horse, Rand was astonished. The girl of sea monster blood has a special watery and fair complexion, and her gestures give people a natural sense of obsequiousness.

"I'm Jenny Benma. I've always heard about Earl Lanter's deeds. It's the first time we meet today and I hope I can take care of you." These were the first words Jenny said when she saw Lanter, although they were all compliments , but there is no meaning to please too much.

"Where, the Marquis of Fiat is the leader of the Benma family. If it weren't for the busy border affairs, I should have gone to see him in person." Rand and Jenny said a few words, and they took their seats to start the formal negotiation.
