Arcane Universe

After the completion of Fort Leo, Grace and Joel invested the remaining hundreds of thousands of crowns in the development of the land.

Preliminary development proves that both sides of the Vito River are indeed natural high-quality fertile fields. Even without any water conservancy irrigation, the harvest of crops is excellent.

Taste of the sweetness, Grace and Joel also mortgaged the two properties in Yaduni with 400,000 crowns of funds, and continued to invest in the development of the new territory. Only then did the territory look like what it is today.

Although one of the two properties was granted to Chapman by Feng Chou, the two have not had time to return to Yaduni to complete the formalities, so these two properties are still under the full management of Grace.

The loan interest rate in this era is quite high, the annual interest rate is as high as 10%, and the annual interest of 400,000 kronor is 40,000 kronor, which happens to be the annual annuity income of the two properties in Yaduni.

For Grace and Joel’s decision, Feng Chou dare not compliment. The 400,000 crowns of land developed, the annual income is less than 15,000 kilograms, but it costs 40,000 crowns. This is a loss-making business.

But this is not to blame Grace and Joel. In remote areas like Antalia, the land-based thinking among the nobles is still quite serious. This is due to their own limitations.

When I heard that Feng Chou was going to take her away from Antalia, Grace did not ask Feng Chou where he was going to take her, what to do, and what kind of life to live, so she was busy nodded and promised Come down, the whole person will be happy.

Even if Feng Chou asked him to abandon the title of Sir Clifford, she agreed without the slightest hesitation.

After “persuading” Grace, Feng Chou asked her to send someone to invite Joel. He did not intend to show up in Antalia.

Joel does not live in Leo Fort, he is based in Vito Town.

After the expansion of the territory, Grace and Joel expanded the Vito Ling and built a small town with a population of nearly 1,000. The harvest of the entire territory was transported by small boats through the Vito River. Go to the town of Vito, and then use the carriage to transport to Antalia for sale.

In this way, Vito Town became another center of the territory.

Half an hour later, Joel was invited into Grace’s office.

Two years have also brought great changes to Joel. He has lost a lot of weight and calmed down a lot, but he also looks slightly older than he was two years ago.

When Feng Chou canceled his invisibility and appeared in front of Joel, the old man almost yelled with excitement.

Feng Chou gave Joel a big hug.

It is much more difficult to convince Joel than to convince Grace.

Joel belongs to the kind of very traditional descendants of Knight. He is loyal, brave, straightforward, yet conservative, and stubborn. In his eyes, guarding the land and loyalty to the lord is everything, let him leave him to guard The land is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Fortunately, Joel’s weakness is also obvious, a larger territory, enough to make him tempted.

After persuading Grace and Joel, Feng Chou and the two agreed on how to deal with the Antalia territory.

Said it was a discussion, but it was actually arranged by Feng Chou, and the two recorded it.

Feng Chou intends to entrust the territory of Antalia to the Chamber of Commerce named “Sol” in Antalia. This is a Chamber of Commerce that specializes in territory development and entrusted management.

The members of the Amberlite family, the territory Knight and other members form a “territory board of supervisors” to supervise the development and management of the territory.

In addition, Feng Chou intends to sell two commercial properties in Yaduni, with the funds collected, on the one hand to repay the loan, on the other hand, he will make up a sum of money on the basis of the remaining money. Entrusted the Territory Development Management Company to further develop the territories on both sides of the Vito River. According to the agreement between him and the Antalia family, he has the right to develop a Baron Territory with a total cultivated area of ​​not more than 60,000 mu on this territory. Plan to implement this agreement well.

This territory on both sides of the Vito River can be said to be blessed by heaven. Investing funds here is not a good business, but at least it will not lose money.

Although Feng Chou is still afraid to return home, he feels that sooner or later he will return here to get back everything that belongs to Leo.

After arranging everything with Grace and Joel, Feng Chou teleported away from Leo Fort and went directly to Yadunis.

Feng Chou spent three days in Yaduni, disposing of two properties at a lower price, and recovered 860,000 kronor of funds. After paying off the loan, he took 40 The draft of sixty thousand crowns returned to Fort Leo.

Feng Chou paid for one million krona on the basis of the 460,000 krona bill.

He asked Grace and Saul Chamber of Commerce to sign a territory development contract, requiring the other party to complete the full development of the land on both sides of the Vito River within five years, and to build this territory into a land with six A perfect manor with 10,000 mu of land.

In the contract, Feng Chou divided the development of the territory into five stages, and then he deposited 1 million kronor in the bank. After the Chamber of Commerce completed a stage of development, the “territory board of supervisors” The payment can be transferred from the bank only after acceptance review and majority vote.

In order to prevent the members of the “territory board of supervisors” from being bought off, Feng Chou asked Grace and Joel to sign an instrument stating that the newly developed land will have a net profit of 100% within ten years of successful development. Thirty percent is under the control of the board of supervisors, and the purpose of this money is determined by the board of supervisors on its own, and the lord shall not interfere.

It took almost a month to settle the development and management of the Vito River Territory.

During this time, Grace passed the title of Sir Clifford to his brother.

After all this was settled, Grace and Joel embarked on a passenger ship leaving Antalia. Their excuse was to go to the capital city of Owendale to help Leo Baron.

After the passenger ship arrived in Audrick, Grace and Joel disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

After sending Grace and Joel to Stirling Manor, they were stunned by this beautiful and rich manor. They couldn’t believe that Feng Chou had been in such a short period of two to three years. In the time, I earned such a family business.

After Grace and Joel arrived, Feng Chou appointed Grace as his female steward, Chapman only served as the chief of the territory, and no longer served as the castle steward, and Joel was appointed by Feng Chou. The deputy head of the territory guard is responsible for leading and training Rogue squad. Joel’s rich mercenary experience is extremely valuable to Rogue.

Next, Feng Chou carried out a large-scale feudalism against his opponents. He took out four of the six villages in the territory and entrusted them to Chapman, Grace, Natasha, and Divide one of the villages into two, divide them into two Knight collars, and entrust them to Oun and Joel.
