Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

At this time, Linde was inspecting the Falling Star Valley Town outside Black Iron City.

Legend has it that during the time of the first Grand Duke Lars, a star fell here, but the so-called star was confiscated by the tower just after the first Grand Duke Lars took a glance at it.

Perhaps all that remains is the name of the valley and the town.

If there is a chance in the future, Linde still wants to see what the meteorite fragments in this world look like, but now what Linde has to do is farming.

Both figuratively and literally.

The guards didn't dare to let Lind do heavy work, but Lind still tried to turn over the soil, and then confirmed with the accompanying archdruid the fertility of the farmland and the crops suitable for planting.

If it weren't for Lowry and White's firm opposition, Lind would still have thought of going to the front line to take a look. After all, there are some issues that can only be answered by seeing them in person on the battlefield.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by the generals. The war was started because of the assassination. What if something unexpected happened while they were hanging around at the front line?

Therefore, Linde’s previous activities were limited in scope.

After the surrender of White Frost Castle, the pressure on Linde's side would be greatly reduced. After digesting the annexed territory, Lowry's First Army and White's Third Army could launch a general offensive.

As for the Second Army, Lind looked at Yolanda who was stationed not far away. To be honest, Yolanda's appointment to this position was a very perfunctory decision, but after all, she was the first one to follow Jefferson and represented the old aristocratic forces. There was no particularly suitable candidate before, so Yolanda had to take over.

It can only be said that a person's destiny not only depends on personal struggle, but also has to take into account the course of history. Yolanda, originally the leader of a small knight group in Fassen Town, is now the commander-in-chief of the Second Gray-Collar Army, even though she is mostly a vase.

Yolanda is also very conscious of being a vase. The Second Army is mainly managed by Lind himself and Lena. In this position, Yolanda has more symbolic significance than practical significance.

"It's so hot, can't you just stay in the study?"

Tia was fanning herself with a fan while holding a book.

The great druid of the elves couldn't help but say when he saw Tia like this: "Your Highness Tia, you should lose weight."

Upon hearing this, Tia immediately put down her book, pinched her belly nervously, and asked Lind: "Have I gained weight?"

"I feel alright."

Lind looked her up and down. At least from a human perspective, Tia had hardly changed.

Tia breathed a sigh of relief, but decided to pay more attention to her eating and sleeping habits in the future.

At this time, Reina just came back from hunting and said, "Spring in the North is already quite cool, or even a little too cold."

The main reason for Linde's inspection this time was that he was worried that Lena was getting suffocated in the white-collar life. Lena should not be confined to the laboratory and the army.

So this time, Linde took Rena out to play under the pretext of inspection, and declined almost all social engagements along the way. Looking at Rena's smile gradually becoming brighter, Linde also laughed along unconsciously.

After showing off the prey she got from the hunting trip to Linde, Reina looked at the farmers working in other fields.

Some of these people were originally serfs of local lords, and some were ordinary farmers, but there is no difference now. The biggest difference is that serfs are thinner than farmers, and wear less, almost only single clothes.

Reina had organized fundraising in several places she had inspected before, but later found that this was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. The serfs still had to become wealthy themselves.

However, Linde still strongly supports this kind of fundraising. After all, it is very helpful to Rena's reputation. But fundraising certainly cannot be held frequently, so Linde simply established a foundation in Rena's name.

In addition to targeted poverty alleviation, the main purpose is to provide financial assistance to talented children among the poor.

In addition to Linde's inspection team and the serfs and peasants who were allocated land, there were also nobles and officials who heard that Linde was coming and came to the fields to show off.

However, after being kicked twice by Linde, those officials went back to work, which was considered a severe kick to the ass of formalism. Only those nobles who wanted to show off in front of Linde were left.

But now those nobles were complaining in the fields, because Colin was standing on the ridge, staring at them. If any noble did not plow the fields seriously, Colin would use the whip to warn them with his eyes.

Colin has been very unhappy recently. Although Linde gave Colin the power to supervise officials, Colin's approach was really too much. He often appeared behind an official with his guards like a ghost, asking the official whether he was loyal to Linde.

Although most of the officials treated in this way were indeed not very loyal, they themselves did not make any mistakes.

Not to mention that every move of those officials seemed to be monitored by Colin. Lind had received reports from Colin more than once, which even recorded clearly what a certain official ate and how much shit he defecated every day, and even had pictures to prove the truth.

The performance evaluation system was already very strict, and coupled with Colin's pervasive surveillance, some officials were already mentally exhausted and even suspected that all the servants they hired were spies planted by Colin. The most terrifying thing was that most of those officials' delusions were true.

So much so that Lind had no choice but to come forward to warn his brother-in-law, and some of Colin's actions did cross the line. At least everything must be handled according to the law, and lynching is absolutely not allowed, and gray-collar workers do not engage in spy politics.

Lind repeatedly emphasized to Colin that he was the gray-collar inspector, not Lind's lackey.

Colin felt as if the sky had fallen. He was just an inspector of the gray-collar workers instead of his brother-in-law's loyal lackey.

Colin is now very angry, and has transferred his anger from those officials to the old nobles. Although Colin was very obedient and did not resort to lynching, his identity as the governor's brother-in-law alone is already very oppressive.

Seeing Colin, whose eyes were almost murderous, Linde looked at Lena who had returned from hunting with a great harvest, and thought of the well-behaved Ruby and the reliable Sean. He just wanted to ask how Lars' four brothers and sisters were able to be so completely different?

After inspecting the fields, Lind went to see the Doug Army soldiers who were building water conservancy facilities.

Most of these were ordinary soldiers of the Pétain Line of Defense. Even if nothing else, at least they had strength and worked very hard, especially after the victory news from White Frost Castle came.

Now the infrastructure in Linde territory, especially roads, has been fully rolled out. The railway project that was originally stagnant due to manpower reasons has also gradually started. All this is thanks to Doug.

Not only was most of the money for infrastructure and railways provided by Doug and Wang Du, but most of the personnel were also Doug's army.

Linde also read all the letters sent by Pierre of the Laurent family, including the replies from the nobles in the north.

Jefferson probably had a lot to say to those nobles who still wanted to sit on the fence.

But it doesn't matter. Now Linde just needs to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. It happens that some nobles are still entangled with the demons in an unclear way. It's not just a strategic cooperative relationship with the demons like the Laurent family, but a real deep binding.

When Linde finished his inspection today and returned to his temporary residence, Lucanus emerged from the shadows: "My king, I have intelligence from the capital and a letter from the King of Anjou for you."

"The King of Anjou?"

Lind curiously took the intelligence and letter from Lucanus. Since they were given together, it meant that the letter from the King of Anjou was related to the latest intelligence from the royal capital.

The King of Anjou probably hated beating around the bush, because as soon as Lind opened the envelope, he saw a very straightforward beginning, which could be summed up in one sentence: Dear Governor of the Northern Border of the Kingdom of Capet, I want to marry your sister.
