I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 296 It’s over, let’s go back to the capital

The power of the masses is still stronger than imagined.

In the middle of winter, most of the residents of Maplewood Town have no income and stay at home all day long.

Under the temptation of salary and free food, the whole Maplewood Town became active.

Go into the forest to cut down maple trees, help build walls, go into the forest to push the castle, and help the townspeople rebuild their homes.

The entire Maplewood Town became busy.

West Germany, Tang En and others returned to the royal capital the next day after things settled down.

Chen Fan deliberately stayed for a few more days, and the new lord could be seen in many places.

Many townspeople began to slowly accept this new lord who had no pretensions.

During this process, Chen Fan also discovered several outstanding local young talents.

Previously, the management position of Maplewood Town had been firmly controlled by others, leaving no chance for others.

Chen Fan didn't care about relationships, but only looked at abilities. He quickly promoted a group of capable young people from Maplewood Town.

After all, Kanter is still a young man, and he quickly emerged from the shadow of his family's death.

In the days to come, Julia, the deputy mayor, will lead a group of young officials to make every effort to build Maplewood Town.

When the dilapidated management was broken, everyone could feel that a wave of prosperity was taking on a new life in this small town.

These newly appointed young people gave Chen Fan many good suggestions.

For example, things like centralizing scattered carpenters, opening unified workshops, and adding assembly lines.

These suggestions made Chen Fan know that these ordinary townspeople actually had many thoughts in their hearts.

Factory, open!

Assembly line, set up!

Chen Fan waved his hand and agreed to all suggestions as long as they were beneficial to Maplewood Town in the long run.

Of course, all of this is based on gold coins!

Victor's head and the Hexagon are worth more than 21,000 gold coins in total.

According to Julia's list, Chen Fan has to invest at least more than 13,000 gold coins in Maplewood Town.

This includes road maintenance costs for Maplewood Town, new centralized factories, livestock tools...

There are also Chen Fan's personal expenses, such as building the lord's castle, recruiting family knights, servants, etc...

The new castle completely avoided the gloomy maple forest, choosing instead to build on the open plains.

There is a large open plain there, which is high up. After the castle is built, it is like being able to overlook the entire Maplewood Town and the Maple Leaf Forest.

The establishment of the family castle is imperative.

Look at those big families, they all started from such a small castle.

It is precisely by having a castle of one's own that one can slowly recruit talents and develop one's own power.

Why did Chen Fan waste his precious time and stay here specifically to leave a good impression on the people of Maplewood Town.

These four thousand people are the foundation of Chen Fan.

The talents inside will become his confidants, and the money they earn will help Chen Fan.

A good investment is like revitalizing a dead river. When the river flows smoothly, Chen Fan will be the one to benefit in the end.

The investment you make now will pay off in the future.

A week before the New Year, Chen Fancai returned to the capital with Nadasha, Sarah and others who were reluctant to leave.

Julia, Lilia, and several veterans who were willing to move their families all stayed in Maplewood Town.

……

On the outskirts of the royal capital, the Bellucci family castle.

The magic horse with green flames stepped onto the land in front of the big castle. Behind him were only two veterans, driving several war horses behind them.

As for the others, they had already returned to the capital and exchanged two valuable items.

Before Chen Fan went out, all the horses he used were borrowed from the Bellucci family.

When returning to the royal capital at this time, it was natural to come back first to return the war horses.

Moreover, I haven't seen Monica for half a month, and I still want to see her in my heart.

Instructing the two veterans to return their horses, Chen Fan approached the castle directly.

As soon as he approached the castle, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.

At this time, the New Year is approaching, and logically, the entire Bellucci family should be in a state of joy and preparing to welcome the New Year.

But now, it's not like that.

Knights with hurried looks could be seen everywhere, running around, as if something was happening.

This made Chen Fan narrow his eyes slightly and have the worst guess in his mind.

He rode his horse to the side of the castle, got off his horse, and walked directly towards Monica Castle.

Many people here knew Chen Fan, and no one came to block his way at this time.

And everyone seemed to be in a hurry, and no one had time to care about him now.

Soon they arrived at Monica's castle, only to learn that Monica had gone to see her mother, Mrs. Rose.

This made Chen Fan even more sure of his speculation.

He just waited in the room for a while, and soon a servant came to inform Chen Fan and asked him to go to Duke Ang's study.

Chen Fan's expression darkened, he didn't say anything more, and followed the servant's footsteps towards the castle in the middle.

……

When they entered the study door, they saw Monica's two brothers here.

Duke Ang was still sitting in that position, but now he was wearing a military uniform.

He lost his usual bookishness and became a solemn-looking leader of the armed forces.

Before Chen Fan came in, the conversation between the father and son had just ended.

Said is still the same as before. Under the sunny appearance, there is an aristocratic decadence that cannot be hidden.

But when he passed by Chen Fan, those eyes, like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, glanced at Chen Fan coldly.

Chen Fan didn't change his expression, nodded slightly to the two of them, and then passed by.

Come to Duke Ang.

Facing this man who stood at the pinnacle of power in the kingdom, Chen Fan could still feel the heavy pressure.

It has nothing to do with anything else. Only when you are in a high position and full of majesty can you have such coercion.

"You came back at just the right time. If you had been slower for a while, you would have seen our leaving figures."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Are the orcs marching?"

The only way to suddenly mobilize Duke Ang to leave at this time is to fight on the front line.

As soon as he arrived, Chen Fan had already guessed it when he saw the knights in a hurry.

But there are still countless doubts in my heart.

For Duke Ang to go to the front line in person to take charge, it must be because the other party has confirmed the news of their advance.

Just know that December is still a warm winter, while January is the real cold winter and the coldest time of the year.

How could the orcs be so confused and decide to attack at this moment?
