Unknown Knight

The implementation of household division and fiefdom also brought a new wave of prosperity to the territory. The demand for various household supplies increased greatly, and some daily necessities such as pots, pans, and utensils were even sold out.

Taxes, mainly industrial and commercial taxes, resulted in a large surplus in the territory's originally basically balanced finances and taxes.

Not only that, in previous years, when winter came, everyone was very free, so free that they could only go to school to learn skills or hang out in pubs and bathhouses.

This year, a large number of people would rather use this time to find work in workshops and earn money to support their families. In addition, the orders have increased significantly this year. Until the end of winter, some workshops have not yet completed their orders.

There are also some skilled citizens who simply become their own bosses and earn huge profits with their superb skills.

For example, the carpenter named Huban from Shules was very popular for his wooden sculptures and high-end furniture. He received special care during his labor reform and was arranged to take many courses by Bandak, especially in mathematics and physics.

This greatly improved his carpentry skills. He hired more than a dozen helpers and became a small workshop owner. Even Aix's household appliances were custom-made from him, which made him even more famous and he received a lot of orders.

There is also old John, this old blacksmith has followed Aix since the Valley period. His superb skills and numerous apprentices have given him very rich industry resources.

In addition to working in the territory workshop and the technical institute, he also provides technical support to his son's blacksmith workshop. He also accepts orders from newly promoted knights and lords and makes exclusive emblem weapons for them.

Not only him, but also the busy Atiman, who called himself the butler of Aix, took time out every night after finishing his government affairs to design the residences in the city and the manors on the fiefs for the new nobles who had fiefs. Of course, dozens of silver coins were indispensable for each person.

Everyone suddenly became wealthy from being propertyless, and not only did their spending increase, but they also became more motivated. They were all trying every way to earn a fortune within the scope permitted by the territory code.

The entire territory has lost some of its previous ease and leisure, and has become more tense and prosperous.

Amidst the busy scene, Aix, the big pig's hoof, seems particularly idle. He cannot wander around if he has nothing to do. The upstarts suggest that he should maintain his manners and not always mingle with the common people.

At the same time, it is not excessive to ask this of him, as it is also for his personal safety. After experiencing several assassination attempts, he now has many enemies, including several powerful figures who want to end his life.

The key point is that he has no children yet. If something happens to him, it will have a ripple effect. So the Council of Nobles decided that his daily schedule must be reviewed by Sophia and Liu Tang in advance, and security measures must be prepared in advance before he can finally set off.

The only outdoor activity that allowed him some freedom was hunting. The new rich believed that this was an elegant activity exclusive to the nobility and thus reserved this relatively interesting activity for him.

However, it was icy and snowy now, and after organizing several hunting expeditions with the Yakuts, Lord Aix, whose nose was almost frozen off, gave up the idea of ​​going out hunting.

So Aix had to wander around several research institutes every day and participate in various ongoing projects in the three research institutes to kill the boring time during the day.

However, with all his knowledge and insights from the original world, he had very wild imaginations about the projects of James, Atiman and others. Every time he went there, he would increase the number of their research projects and the difficulty of the research, thus disrupting their normal progress.

So later on, when everyone saw him appear at the research institute, they all avoided him. Even when he was called in for questioning, he refused to talk about his current research projects. Knowing that he was a bore, he had no choice but to come to the research institute less often, and even when he came, he didn't talk much. But what was the point of that? Gradually, he didn't want to go there anymore.

He was so bored that he even thought of having a party in the cave with his wives. With the thinking of the original world, he came up with many new ideas, such as a big party, an all-night party, a birthday party, a confession party, a hot pot party, a truth or dare party, etc. He played out all the decadent things he learned in society.

If there weren't two lolis who were not yet 18 years old, do you believe he would dare to organize the 18+ nude party and silver party?

Several wives, both big and small, also became addicted to the game. The one in charge pestered him all day long, asking him to throw parties and encouraging him to come up with more new ways to play.

As a result, in the few meetings held in the winter territory, Aix was scolded by the new nobles. Looking at his dark circles, several senior comrades such as Atiman and Bandak taught him earnestly:

"There is no rush for offspring. You are still young and can take your time. For now, you should take care of your health."

He was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He almost dug his toes through the floor of the conference room and fell from the inner castle into the dungeon of the outer castle.

However, spending all day with the three wives was not entirely in vain. Before the New Year, Gand, Cress and Sophia all became pregnant.

After the news spread, the entire Tangquan Fortress was in an uproar. Everyone was happier than during the Chinese New Year. Soon after, the entire territory got the news. The nobles and people were not only happy, but also felt an incomparable sense of security.

In order to express their excitement, everyone sent various gifts and blessings, which were dazzling and varied.

What kind of clothes pregnant women wear at different stages of pregnancy, all kinds of scientific and unscientific supplements for pregnancy maintenance, accessories, pendants, statues, talismans for pregnancy maintenance and warding off evil spirits from various ethnic groups, etc.

There are also more than a dozen boxes of clothes for boys and girls of different ages. If divided by age, clothes up to five or six years old are prepared. Can you imagine?

Not only that, but the two large rooms are filled with cradles, beds, pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, dolls' wooden swords, wooden horses, slides, and all kinds of supplies and toys for the future young masters and young ladies. And even these may not be enough, as these things are being sent here continuously.

Huban of Shules also specially made three small sleds, three wooden boats for play, and three sets of special horse harnesses for the future little masters. All the parts of these things have been chamfered and polished to ensure that the little masters will not bump into them when using them in the future, which shows how much he is thoughtful.

What is outrageous is that before the three pregnant women's bellies even started to bulge, Catherine had already mobilized all the pregnant women in the territory to get ready, and screened them based on their physical condition, appearance, and family background so that they could serve as wet nurses for the little masters in the future.

What is even more outrageous is that young couples who have not yet gotten pregnant are also competing secretly, hoping to get pregnant in the near future so that they can catch the last train selected by the little master's nanny.

Just because of the three unborn babies, all kinds of outrageous operations in the territory emerged one after another, making Aix sigh at the great benefits of being a powerful person.

At the same time, he felt very sad. He seemed to be leisurely but was actually the core of the territory, but suddenly he was left out by everyone. When they met each other, they only said a few polite congratulations. What everyone said and thought in their hearts was the future little master.

There was not a single present for him among the piles of presents. Feeling lonely, he could only stand on the windowsill and look at the snowy mountains in the distance, sighing as the cold wind blew:

"It's true that 'the winter wind is colder than the autumn wind, and three pregnant bellies replace the old one'."
