The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 48 Territory Development
As the territories were recovered, Frostwolf Ridge became unusually busy.

In addition to practicing dual cultivation with his wives, David has to spend a lot of time handling official business every day.

However, he was still very happy to see a large amount of gold coins deposited into the warehouse.

With these gold coins, you can buy more secret medicine materials and strengthen the defense of Frostwolf Ridge.

As soon as David obtained the gold coins, he asked the Grey Wolf Knights to use them all to buy secret medicine materials and weapons and equipment for the armed knights.

"My lord, this is the tax list of Bailu Town." The clerk handed over the parchment.

David was reading another decree at the moment, and without even looking up, he said, "Let's give it to Advisor Reina for review first."

The clerk nodded and glanced at Reina who was sitting beside the lord and sorting out administrative orders.

During this period, the lord would bring this secretary consultant with him to every meeting, and he had become accustomed to it.

After handing the parchment to Reina, the clerk left.

Reina put away the parchment in her hand, glanced at David who was reviewing official documents beside her, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Obviously.

Princess Jingge was very satisfied that David let her participate in the management of the territory.

Behind this is Duke Frostwolf's absolute trust in her.

David raised his head as if he sensed something, and their eyes met.

Reina quickly looked away like a frightened deer, her face still flushed.

"What? You want it?" David asked meaningfully.

Reina quickly denied it, her face red as if blood was dripping out, "No, no."

David knew that the proud little princess was very thin-skinned, so he stopped teasing her. Only by finishing the tasks at hand as quickly as possible could he have time to communicate his feelings.

Reina breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the flamboyant and confident man in front of her.

This man was different from all the men she had ever met. He had the wisdom and pride of a nobleman, but he was not as abiding by conventions as a nobleman.

In many cases, he even behaves a bit like an ordinary person, or like an adventurer who loves freedom, is full of expectations for breaking the monotony and is full of adventurous spirit.

Of course, no commoner or adventurer could have the same height and vision as him, and even she, the princess, was inferior to him in many aspects.

"These shining gold coins lie quietly in the depths of the vault. Although they represent wealth and power, they cannot play their due role if they are not used."

"The weight and brilliance of the gold coin are just empty symbols there, unable to bring substantial improvements to the people or promote the development of the territory."

“Only when they are circulated and used to purchase necessities, invest in industry and commerce, or be used for public construction, can these gold coins truly be transformed into the power of life and create more value.”

"The true value of gold coins lies in the difference they can make: providing food for the hungry, seeking treatment for the sick, or laying the foundation for the defense and prosperity of a territory."

Lena still remembers clearly what Duke Frostwolf said to her. It broke the long-established notions in her mind and made her feel the demeanor that a true ruler should have.

David had no idea how much of an impact his concept of money from another world had on Princess Jingge.

Now all he had to do was to convert as much gold coins and resources as possible into combat power to deal with the crisis that might come next.

As the winter moon passed, a large number of refugees joined Frostwolf Ridge, which improved the overall strength of Frostwolf Ridge.

Especially those militiamen who have been tested, they only need a little training to become the new vitality of Frostwolf Ridge.

In addition to expanding the size of the Frostwolf Knights, he also plans to form a Grey Wolf Cavalry Regiment.

David now controls hundreds of gray wolves, and these gray wolves are the strongest force in Frostwolf Ridge today.

However, in order to maximize the value of the gray wolf pack, it is still necessary to bind these gray wolves to the knights of the Frostwolf Knights. This will allow the gray wolves to be commanded more flexibly and at the same time improve the overall strength of the Frostwolf Knights.

Wolf cavalry actually existed when the old duke was still alive, but their scale was limited, forming only a ten-man wolf cavalry squad.

But even so, if this wolf cavalry squad charged forward with all their might, even the regular knights would find it difficult to resist head-on, and there was even the risk of being killed.

And now, David has the Frostwolf Contract and can directly control the Gray Wolf King and command the Gray Wolf pack.

In addition, with Cynthia, a natural animal trainer who masters animal language, training wolf cavalry becomes much easier.

Looking at the list of Frostwolf Knights personnel submitted by the Grey Wolf Knight himself, David made a decision in his heart.

He summoned the leader of the Frostwolf Knights and asked all the knights of the Frostwolf Knights to gather at the training ground in the manor tomorrow.

Upon hearing that there was a possibility of becoming a wolf cavalryman, the Knight Commander's eyes widened.

Wolf riders.

This was the goal of all Frostwolf Knights when the old Duke was still alive.

And now, they actually have the opportunity to become wolf cavalry!
"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke."

The Knight Commander knelt on one knee and bowed, then went to inform the other knights with excitement on his face.

After this matter was dealt with, David finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that having Princess Reina, who is skilled in handling various government affairs, saves him a lot of time.

Although Reina does not have his modern worldview and values, she is much better than him at handling the government affairs of this world.

It can even be said that it is a bit of a waste of talent to let a queen who is capable of governing a country deal with a small territory in Frostwolf Ridge.

Without Lena, he would have wasted a lot of time trying to develop Frostwolf Ridge.

"Thank you, Lena." David thanked her sincerely.

"It's me who wants to thank you."

Reina was a little embarrassed, but her eyes were very serious.

When their eyes met, David suddenly picked up Reina and placed her on the seat that belonged to the lord.

"Be good, lift it up."

"."

"As expected, I still prefer white to black."

[You have completed a training session, Snow Demon Soul +101]

Perhaps it was because their love reached a deep level this time, the results of their practice were unexpectedly good.

[Snow Demon Soul: Level 2707 (5000/)]

Unknowingly, the Snow Demon Soul's cultivation progress has reached more than half, and he feels that it won't be long before he can successfully break through to the third level.

Just when David was about to take the opportunity to practice some more, Lena suddenly looked up in astonishment, "My Lord Duke, I seem to have broken through to the second-level knight."

At this moment, the proud little princess' eyes were full of confusion.

I have been working hard for so long but have not made a breakthrough. I haven’t even practiced today, but how come I suddenly made a breakthrough?
