Chapter 10 Letters The weather had begun to get hot at the beginning of June, and Zhao Yannian was sitting in the castle's study at this time checking the letters, and every month the messengers of the Northwest Army would pass by Zhao Yannian's territory several times, and Zhao Yannian, as the lord, could use these messengers to send some personal letters.
Most of the messengers sent unimportant official documents, as well as letters from the officers' families, which could not be delivered through the magical communication array of the Northwest Army garrison.
And it is also an unwritten practice in the northwest for these messengers to earn some benefits by delivering messages to lords in various places, and the heralds riding sixth-order wind wildebeest can run thousands of kilometers a day, plus most of them have the strength of high-level warriors, which is enough for them to safely shuttle back and forth in the northwest wasteland alone, but this kind of work is very boring and hard after all.
Lonely, tired, and tossing on their horses day by day, it was natural that they would receive some benefits from their lords compared to the generous treatment of other warriors of the same rank.
Zhao Yannian has already dealt with several heralds, and today a herald who helped Zhao Yannian deliver the letter came to Cuifeng Town with a few reply letters, and when Zhao Yannian heard the news, the herald had already left for a long time with the benefits given by Erica.
A total of five letters were placed in front of Zhao Yannian, three of which were from the three dukes of the Northern Domain, Zhao Yannian's request for help from the three dukes to help him escort the half-elves of the Unicorn Territory to the Inner Regions had been answered, and a duke close to the Unicorn Territory said that he would send a guard to escort these half-elves to the businessman Bunir, the father-in-law of Zhao Yannian.
The other two dukes offered to help the half-elves as they passed through their realms, and would issue them their own signed passes.
The passage orders of three of the thirteen supreme powers in the human world are enough to ensure that these half-elves will not be hindered in any way in the process of migrating to their own territory, and even those side branches of the unicorn domain will not do anything to offend the will of the three archdukes.
The three Grand Dukes have already released their kindness, and Zhao Yannian naturally knows that only by reciprocating his peach will this kindness eventually continue, until he finally integrates himself into the top circle of this world.
Zhao Yannian raised the letter in his hand and handed it to Celine who was standing behind him, Celine took the letter with trembling hands and read it carefully, bowed slightly to Zhao Yannian, but did not say anything.
Zhao Yannian did not send a single person to the whole half-elf migration work, but attached a handwritten letter and token from Celine to the letter to the Grand Duke near the Unicorn Territory, and vaguely mentioned some words about interests in the letter.
The aristocracy that has been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years will not be as vulgar as in the novel when they see the protagonist have something to snatch it, if this is the case, then what are the proud dignity they have cultivated for hundreds of years.
The great nobles are good at investing, and the value shown by Zhao Yannian is enough for the great nobles to make some gestures for him, and the benefits of these actions may be ten times or even a hundred times in return, which is recorded in the history of all ancient aristocratic families.
Most of the great lords of the human kingdom of Longmian Continent are not most concerned about interests, what they value most is balance, the balance between territories and territories, the balance between the inner and outer regions, the balance between the royal power and the nobles, and the balance between ordinary people and professionals.
Zhao Yannian's previous performance in the gladiatorial arena of the royal capital had a tendency to break the balance of power between the king and the nobles, but whether it was the young and vigorous Edward or Zhao Yannian, they did not directly provoke the confrontation, in Edward's eyes, eliminating the orcs was his top priority, and in Zhao Yannian's eyes, getting benefits was the most crucial, and in the case that both of them had no intention of breaking the balance, the end of this performance naturally became a spoils sharing conference.
The six lords of the Thirteen Councillors in the Outer Realm took out their interests in exchange for the design drawings of guns and power armor from the king, and Zhao Yannian's War Armed Research Institute was a countermeasure to prevent the recurrence of this incident.
At the end of May, the supply team brought Zhao Yannian the materials that this year's War Armament Research Institute deserved, for Zhao Yannian, who is still the commander of the light pole, this time the materials can be said to be unusually rich, three tons of various magic metals, in which there are five kilograms of Mithril alone, as well as fifteen kilograms of pure gold, one hundred seventh-level magic crystals, ten eighth-level magic crystals, and a large number of beast blood magic ink and gems and other miscellaneous items.
In addition, Zhao Yannian also received research funds of 200,000 gold coins, according to His Majesty the King's intentions, these research funds have no special significance for a research institution with only one person, but because Zhao Yannian is now the lord of a territory that is in ruins, these gold coins are Zhao Yannian's salary, which is just used to supplement the territory.
After getting the gold coins calculated by the pile, Zhao Yannian waved his hand and gave 100,000 yuan to Erica, and then secretly gave Jasmine 2,000 as pocket money for his little lover.
Now Zhao Yannian is thinking about what he should do next to hand over the research results of the kingdom.
The research results may be a difficult problem for others, but for Zhao Yannian, what he needs to consider now is how not to lead human beings astray, so that human society can develop healthily and steadily.
Zhao Yannian never thought that he would cherish himself and let his territory enjoy the technology in his mind alone, which invisibly resolved the most bloody dispute in the online novels of his previous life.
The most traditional dispute over the so-called farming stream comes from the prying eyes of other forces.
Zhao Yannian felt that this was actually a very inexplicable question, and the otaku couldn't understand that as long as he could still generate value, as the world's largest vested interest, would anyone in the Thirteenth Council be unfavorable to Zhao Yannian?
As the Northwest Territory under the indirect control of the king, who would have the courage to spy on an earl.
Industrial civilization is not something that tens of thousands of people in a territory can play, Zhao Yannian can't understand it, learn how high the IQ and how strong the desire of the protagonist in the novel is to go, establish a territory, and then start to eat alone and accumulate capital by exploiting people from other worlds, and use a territory of thousands or tens of thousands of people to develop a force that single-handedly fights the whole world, from the demon gods of the indigenous neighbor kingdom to become the god of creation?
Zhao Yannian said that he was under a lot of pressure, although he would fight for some other reason to survive, but he would not regard all the Otherworlders as enemies, and since Zhao Yannian confided all his secrets to Luna, Zhao Yannian has embarked on a different path from other traversers.
Is Zhao Yannian lonely?
Of course lonely, there is no TV, no Internet, no like-minded otaku with him in this world, and even the Internet trolls who used to be annoying when they saw it are so cordial in Zhao Yannian's eyes now, although they have different concepts and different statuses, but at least they are human beings under the same civilization, everyone knows what the other party is saying and thinking, and in this world, Zhao Yannian can understand the concepts of those familiar and strange people, but he can't get a sense of identity from them.
"Since you can't agree with it, it's good to transform it to their identity.
Human beings in this world have the same seven emotions and six desires, if they have the same productivity and the same scientific and technological products, will they give birth to the same way of thinking as the people of the earth?
Isn't this an interesting topic to study?
Zhao Yannian said to himself in Chinese.
"My lord?
What are you talking about?
Celine asked behind Zhao Yannian.
"It's nothing, just thinking about an ancient language."
Zhao Yannian quietly perfunctory.
No longer continuing the somewhat dangerous thinking just now, Zhao Yannian reached out and picked up the remaining two letters, one was written by Vicna, the letter said that he has now joined the research institute under the Executioner Force, and is participating in the research work on the prevention and control of zombies led by His Highness Leo, and Austin has now joined the Executioner Force as a squad officer to clean up zombies, and now the Executioner Force has learned how to use armor and magic props to defend against zombie infection, so Austin will not be in any big danger, At the end of the letter, Vik vaguely asked Zhao Yannian if the plane that appeared in the Wangdu incident was a copy of the one he crashed that year.
"Now that Vicna has begun to learn to hide, it seems that this hot-blooded teenager is also constantly changing."
Zhao Yannian sighed and put down the letter and reached out to pick up the last letter.
The last letter was written by Zhao Yannian's father-in-law, the profiteer Buniel, in which he said that he had sent people to the Unicorn Territory to contact the half-elves, and these chamber of commerce guys would act as an intermediary between the escort team and the half-elves to ensure that all the half-elves arrived safely in Ivada, and when the half-elves arrived, he would lead most of the members of the SCHOTT Chamber of Commerce and their families to Zhao Yannian's territory.
"It seems that the zombie outbreak scared my father-in-law terribly, and he was really willing to move to a place like the northwest with the Chamber of Commerce."
Zhao Yannian shook his head with a smile and stretched.
Celine handed over a wet towel in a timely manner, Zhao Yannian reached out to take it and wiped his hands, and after handing the towel back to Celine, he walked to the window of the study, stretched out his hand to open the window and looked at the scenery.

The fields that have been sown for a month are now verdant green, and this year's spring rains have made the crops in Zhao Yannian's territory grow well.
In the distance, the garrison of Cuifeng Town is patrolling the fields to prevent the destruction of herbivore monsters, and the three hundred thieves who have been brainwashed by Zhao Yannian are now training hard in the prisoner camp outside the town.
The workers of the leather shoe factory were carrying leather, and the village farmers, who had begun to be idle, began to appear in the grocery stores of Cuifeng Town, swallowing saliva at the delicate goods.
Zhao Yannian looked at his weak but vibrant territory, and a sense of belonging rose spontaneously.
