Chapter 256 Receiving and Writing Letters

Frozen collar.

Ryan was thinking about whether he could increase the manpower and send miners to the other world to mine gold and amber jade.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. That place was on the front line between the natives and the nobles. Once large-scale mining was carried out, it would easily attract attention. By then, the gold mine would not be something Ryan could defend alone.

“Take your time. Find a way to increase the conflict between the natives and the nobles in the other world, and then gain the right to speak in the other world.”

“The development of the alternate dimension will probably be stagnant in the short term. The nobles suffered heavy losses due to the riots in the forests. We can take this opportunity to make a fortune.”

“But is this Blue Lion tribe really so stubborn? I have blessed them with so many warriors and given them so many weapons, but after so long, they still can’t react and annex other indigenous tribes. Should we switch to another tribe?”

“A new batch of weapons has been sent to the Andara Kingdom. I don’t know how the war between the Grand Duke and the southern nobles is going. I hope… it won’t be too intense.”

“We have to call back some of the cat assassins. Although we don’t know which of the two earls it is, the war between the Empire and the Church has spread to the North Wind Province. There may be trouble next.”

“The cat assassins in the frozen land can also prevent those two from doing something in secret.”

Ryan had a headache, and the blood and energy in his hands burst out, turning the note into ashes. These things can be recorded to clarify the next plan, but they cannot be kept forever.

But turning around and looking at the civil issues sent by Etria, Ryan felt even more helpless.

The frozen soil territory is developing in an orderly manner. There are no problems in this general direction, but the small problems that arise from this are causing constant trouble.

For example, some civilians have accumulated considerable wealth, and they approached Butler Beard to repay the money they owed to Lord Baron Ryan over the years.

This part is not small, for example, the house they originally lived in, the land, and the food, were all given to them by Ryan in the name of loans.

These civilians obviously don’t want to owe the lord money, and they will think about paying it back when they have money.

Ryan certainly wouldn’t engage in usury or anything like that. It was whatever it was. The key point was that if they didn’t owe money, the civilians probably wouldn’t work so hard to open up the wasteland.

This is what Ryan doesn’t want to see.

“It’s time to draw a new pie.”

Ryan, the remaining little troublemaker, gave advice, then expressed hesitation about the final deslavery.

People must be divided into classes, which can increase cohesion. As slaves at the bottom of the class, they are naturally the property of the nobility. Under certain circumstances, a closed loop is formed within the nobility’s territory.

For example, in the current Frozen Territory, the status of the lord is higher than that of the rich, and the status of the rich is higher than that of most civilians. The civilians feel that they are much better than slaves, so they have a sense of happiness. Slaves are the property of the lord. When Lord Ryan is not so harsh on the slaves, the slaves also have smiles on their faces. Moreover, because the wealth belongs to the lord, no matter how many other people there are, they can only bully them.

Under this system, each class has its own reasons to find the source of happiness, so the happiness level in the Frozen Territory is not low.

In addition, the towering silos also add to the sense of happiness.

Slaves are a very important part of the noble territory.

Moreover, although Ryan had never actively paid attention to this world, he knew that the number of slaves must be quite large, many.

As a baron, he is not qualified for special treatment.

The deslavery plan submitted by Atria was aimed at Ryan’s previous plan. She believed that the slaves’ identities could be pardoned slowly at a rate of one year or one month, and the conditions could be made clear so that slaves could become civilians through slavery.

Ryan agreed with this, but he needed to add something on top of it.

Ryan values ​​both literature and martial arts. The frozen land leaders cannot be illiterate or weak. In the North, only those with wisdom and strength can provide more loyalty to his master Ryan. In simple terms, even if a gifted child is born among the slaves, he can be pardoned from slavery.

This is also a kind of contribution, isn’t it?
“that’s all!”

Ryan printed the ring on the paper, and then watched the butler Beard come to the study.

“Master, a letter has been sent from the Clayton family, and the caravan has returned from Calais Province.”

Ryan took the letter, which had a fiery smell. After opening it, he saw that Earl Clayton praised his development and then mentioned amber jade.

“Amber jade itself is a precious magical material. Crossman needs it very much. This can accelerate its pace of becoming a legend. The family will purchase it from you as a trade.”

“Besides that, most amber jade is just jade. A small portion of amber jade, because of its name, may contain secrets from long, long ago.”

“You have to pay attention. Some amber and jade may reveal some treasures.”

“Some people have found artifacts in amber, and some have found the remains of gods in amber jade.”

“People on the West Coast are into gambling on rocks.”

Ryan put down the letter, and it caught fire without any wind.

He roughly understood the function of amber jade, and at the same time he found a sales channel for amber jade. He could sell it all to the Clayton family, or he could select a part of it and sell it to the West Coast.

However, the West Coast was too far away, so Ryan decided not to consider it for the time being.

Amber jade needs to be found, because the alien world with only ten years of existence cannot support a trade route to the west coast.

“I don’t know if Master McKen will be of any use. Master Luna needs a batch of amber to improve her magic practice. There is also a wizard tower. She seems to want to pick a piece of amber as the top of the wizard tower.”

“Hopefully the size of the gold mine will not disappoint.”

Ryan soon received a second type of letter.

Some nobles from the North Wind Province.

The letter stated one thing, that is, their soldiers suffered heavy losses in the alien world, and they wanted to ask Ryan to command the army again, hunt the beasts in the alien world, and clear out some of them to relieve their pressure.

Ryan replied to each letter, expressing his refusal and vaguely mentioned that he had encountered some troubles. A priest of the Holy See died in his territory and he was now in a state of panic.

These nobles have not been pushed to their limits, and Ryan would not get much benefit if he agreed, so he naturally had to wait.

Soon, the third letter arrived. It was from a missionary from the Holy See. He concealed his identity and came to the Frozen Territory and handed the letter to a soldier.

“Respected Baron Ryan, you are welcome to become a believer of our Lord. The light of dawn will not be lost in the land shrouded in darkness, but please forgive us for not being able to crown you. Please do not reveal your identity as a believer for the time being. The glory of our Lord will surely illuminate the cold of the North.”

Ryan had a strange expression on his face. The Holy See really had a way to detect when the Dawn Doctrine was being used.

But does this mean he is a missionary?
“It’s a bit troublesome.”

Ryan’s eyes showed murderous intent. He took out a blank piece of letter paper and wrote with a quill pen.
