Chapter 507 The End of the Black-waisted Snake Manor
After the showdown between the Elder Council and the Shadow Flame Dragon, the son selection system has basically ceased to exist in name only, so Mel no longer needs to attend the Elder Council every day.
You can stay on the land of Blackfire as much as you want and enjoy the rare holiday life.
However, the Blackfire Land was far less prosperous than the Red Keep and Stormrage City, so Cousin Mel said goodbye and left after staying there for half a month.
"I didn't like the Red Fort before. I always felt that the mouth of the Sancha River was the best place in the world. But after I got used to living in the Red Fort, I felt that the countryside was too deserted. The nightlife in the Red Fort was more charming." Mel said with a wave of his sleeves. Leave gracefully.
Watched my cousin leave.
Russell secretly sighed: "You have never seen a big city on earth. The prosperity of a big city is really charming."
Even ordinary people can enjoy a quality of life in big cities that far exceeds that of nobles.
Of course, no matter how good the social services are, Russell still feels that the experience is far less comfortable than living in the castle now.
After all, everyone revolves around him, and the entire territory, with a population of nearly 200,000, is serving him alone. This kind of spiritual feeling cannot be given on any material level, and Russell was intoxicated.
"Besides, my Black Fire Land is a place full of surprises." Russell happily looked at the black smoke rising in the distance.
Every day, the land of Blackfire is changing, moving towards the industrial age.
"Sir, the dragon is watching, happy things, happy things are coming again!" Charles galloped over from the governor's office in Chishui Town, "The manor on the edge of the Blackwater River reported that the serfs caught magical salmon from the Blackwater River! "
"Magic salmon?" Russell was puzzled, "What kind of magic method?"
"There is magic flowing in the body of this salmon, sir. In other words, this is a rare wild beast." Charles said excitedly, "How about I accompany you, sir, to see the salmon in person?"
"Okay, I just have nothing to do." Russell rode on the unicorn Baoli and quickly arrived at the manor by the Blackwater River.
This manor is a newly planned mulberry and hemp manor, which mainly grows mulberry and hemp.
Soon, under the leadership of the manor’s foreman, we saw two strange salmon kept in a pool.
The salmon has light green scales and swims in the water like a piece of jasper.
Russell put his hand into the water, felt it casually, and truly felt the magical aura flowing through the body of the salmon.
“Are there many such fish?”
"Returning to the master, the salmon are fry caught from the Youguang River. They have been released into the Blackwater River for more than a year. Now the entire Blackwater River is full of this kind of salmon. Ever since you issued the fishing order, the manor has Only the serfs here dare to fish..."
The rivers and forests in the territory are owned by the lord, so the fish and shrimp in the river naturally belong to the lord.
It was illegal for serfs to fish privately.
Just like the fish and shrimp in the Youguang River, they are all owned by the fluorescent mushroom family and cannot be eaten by ordinary people.
However, Russell could not eat so much fish by himself, so he formulated a fishing system. A fishing order would be issued every three months, allowing serfs to fish for a few days.
"The serfs have been fishing for river fish for three days and found two such beautiful salmon in total. They wanted to give them to the tax knights for a taste, only to find out that they were Yuan Beast fish with magical powers." The manor foreman said happily.
"Very good." Russell was sure that he had never seen similar farmed beasts.
This kind of jasper-like salmon is most likely a wild beast that has naturally mutated. In a newly opened warm enclave like the Black Fire Land, it is still possible to happen. After all, Wujin Pig and Bear Bee can be regarded as natural mutations.
Immediately.
Russell said to Charles: "You immediately organize people to investigate the number of...jasper salmon in the Blackwater River."
He named this beautiful salmon jasper salmon.
"Yes, sir." Charles responded.
Russell continued: "Once it is determined that the number of jasper salmon is sufficient and it is possible to reproduce, we will formulate a set of policies to protect jasper salmon... Well, these two jasper salmon will also be released to expand the wild population."
Subsequently.
Russell gave rewards to the manor foreman, the serf who discovered the jasper salmon, and the tax knight who reported it instead of stealing it.
Two days later, Charles sent over the investigation report: "Sir, I am gratified. There are not a few jasper salmon in the entire Blackwater River. Judging from the batches we caught, they definitely meet the number of wild populations."
"very good!"
"Furthermore, I also sent someone to contact the river fish manager at the Fluorescent Castle, and found that there is no record of catching jade salmon in the Youguang River. Jade salmon is most likely a specialty of the Blackwater River."
"Very good, very good." Russell said with a smile. "In addition to introducing protection policies, we also need to find ways to domesticate them artificially. In addition, we will also try to release some jasper salmon fry in the Chishui River and Xiangshui River."
There was a pause.
He continued: "Not only that, once Yunmeng Lake is dug, we will also try to put jasper salmon in Yunmeng Lake, and strive to let jasper salmon thrive in every river and lake in the territory."
Yunmeng Lake is the large lake being excavated by Lei Zezhong. Russell originally planned to call it Tianma Lake, but considering that the unicorn Baoli did not like horses, he gave up naming it after Tianma and randomly named it Yunmeng Lake. name.
Charles gladly accepted the order.
Russell rode a unicorn and strolled along the Blackwater River. The flow of the Blackwater River was not as good as the Xiangshui River and Chishui River. It washed all the way to the burrows on the edge of the territory, just like the Xiangshui River burrows in the Black-waisted Snake Manor. generally.
Speaking of which, the name of another Xiangshui River was given by Russell to commemorate the Xiangshui River Cave.
"This place already belongs to Xiling Province. Thanks to the construction of the Scale Tower, the northern border after the warm land resonance has been completely stabilized." Xiling Province is one of the divisions of Leiyan Territory, and it is still a wasteland.
Wandering around the cave for a while.
Russell suddenly wanted to go to the Black Waist Snake Manor to take a look. After the arrival of the warm season this year, he officially moved out of the Black Waist Snake Manor.
Now the territory has been returned to the Fluorescent Mushroom Family.
Baoli stepped on the thunder and arrived at the Black Waist Snake Manor in the blink of an eye.
In order to avoid the complicated etiquette of meeting, one person and one unicorn used the method of Youmeng Escape to secretly observe the Black Waist Snake Manor after moving out. The serfs were taken away by Russell, but there are still many serfs here to farm.
And there are servants cleaning and repairing the Cigar Courtyard.
"It seems that Mr. Kendall can't wait to move into the Black Waist Snake Manor." Russell sighed.
Just last May, Baron Roman officially appointed Kendall, the chief of the territory patrol knights, as the new lord, and divided the Black-waisted Snake Manor into Kendall's territory.
Because all the people in the territory were taken away by Russell, the Fluorescent Mushroom Family gave Lord Kendall another 1,500 serfs.
As for the new chief of the territory patrol knights of the Dark Light Valley, it was taken over by Quinn, the fantasy knight who had contracted the Dark Light Black Scorpion.
Crunch...
The sound of horse hooves came from the Cinder Avenue, and several knights walked across the small bridge over the Dark Light River and entered the Black-waisted Snake Manor.
The serfs and servants who were working saluted the leading knight one after another.
This knight was none other than the newly appointed Lord Kendall.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Kendall jumped off the horse with satisfaction, and then walked into the former cigar courtyard surrounded by his followers and servants.
Russell was at the entrance of the Cigar Courtyard, silently looking at the old house that had taken down the "Cigar Courtyard" sign. An unspeakable emotion came to his heart, and he sighed: "Polly, our Black Snake Manor... has ended."
"But, our Cigar Castle has just begun." Polly responded softly.
"That's right." Russell smiled and returned to his calmness. "In fact, I wanted to keep the Cigar Courtyard before. After all, it was my former residence before I became rich. Unfortunately, the former residence culture is not popular in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy."
"It's Kendall who doesn't understand the ways of the world." Polly said with a smile, "He should vacate the Cigar Courtyard and build a small castle to live in."
"Haha!" Russell laughed, "Polly, Polly, you understand the ways of the world better than most humans... However, it may not be that Kendall doesn't understand the ways of the world, it may also be that he has no money to build a small castle and can only live in the Cigar Courtyard."
Teasing.
Russell sighed softly: "Let's go back to our new home!"
