The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

Fiona put down her knife and looked at the man beside her with a surprised expression.

"As we all know, there are still about three months left before winter arrives. Wheat and rye seeds take at least three months to mature, which is not enough time to support the wheat's maturity."

The owner must have expended too much energy last night to suddenly have this thought.

"I observed the celestial phenomena last night and learned that this year's winter will arrive a month later than usual."

Ron started making things up;

"Therefore, we have plenty of time to set off for the pioneering area the day after tomorrow."

Winter is still about four months away. It will take three to four days to reach the swamp, and about ten days to clear land for planting wheat.

In other words, there are still three and a half months to plant.

The swamp's muddy soil is fertile, and the wheat will definitely mature in three months, which is more than enough time.

"The master's eyes only observe women's bodies, how could he possibly observe celestial phenomena?"

Fiona lifted her round, pert buttocks off the stool, leaned closer, and touched Ron's forehead;

"Master, you don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? Could it be that you developed delusions after being manipulated by the maid last night?"

She even felt that Lilith's divination might be more reliable than this statement.

Although Lilith is unreliable, she is still a witch. How could she be wrong every time?

According to probability theory, you're bound to hit the target at least once.

"With your clumsy skills and slow hand speed, you think you can drive me to delusions...?"

Ron felt that if he hadn't never experienced it before, he probably wouldn't have been able to meet the final requirements.

Of course, this was also thanks to Fiona's disgusted expression at the time, which was a big plus.

Despite clearly disliking the maid, she still goes out of her way to help...

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Fiona slightly raised her chin and looked at the man in front of her with disdain.

"The master stared at the maid's body with burning eyes, but now that he has succeeded, he says such things."

Damn master, your eyes were full of longing yesterday.

Especially that expression at that moment, I want to see it again...

"The past is the past, the present is the present. Don't mistake the past for the present, and don't mistake a moment for eternity."

Actually, the feeling at the time was not bad; Ron was quite looking forward to feeding his maid.

It's a real shame that she's so eloquent, only good for talking.

"Damn master, he's really gone after you've already pulled up your pants and forgotten about me."

Fiona pouted and gave the man a disdainful look.

"In that case, it will probably be impossible for the master to get help from the maid again next time."

"If you won't help me, then I'll help you."

Ron chuckled mischievously, realizing that spending so much time with the maid was gradually influencing his speech.

"It seems there are many things the master wants to do for the maid, but the maid has no desires and doesn't need the master's help."

Upon hearing the man's words, Fiona's delicate body trembled slightly, as if she could already imagine Ron helping her.

The master must have been looking forward to this for a long time, and must have wanted to help him for a long time....

But how could I possibly let that bastard owner get away with this...?

"How will you know if you don't try."

Ron understood that in this kind of situation, there was only zero times or countless times, and he would likely be the one who was frequently ambushed.

"Tch, I don't want to do strange things with my master."

Fiona had an expression that seemed to see right through the man's schemes, as if she had never had any desire for them whatsoever.

But somehow, her upper legs, tightly encased in black pantyhose, came together...

"Alright, Fiona, that's enough of the jokes."

Ron stopped there, not forcing things, and letting things take their natural course.

Right now, the most important thing is to purchase development materials.

"Wheat, rye seeds, and remember to add farm tools."

After thinking for a moment, Ron gave a rough number;

"We need to purchase enough wheat seeds to plant 200 mu and enough rye seeds to plant 100 mu. We also need to prepare more farm tools so that at least 200 farmers can work at the same time."

It's a certainty that there are more than 200 farmers involved; the only question is whether we can find some along the way.

Five or six hundred people will be enough for this winter.

If things go well, we can resettle a large number of people next year.

"Understood. Since Master insists, the maid can only do as Master wishes."

Fiona shrugged helplessly; she was completely opposed to Ron's decision.

Anyone who heard that wheat was being planted at this time would probably think that the lord was crazy, wasting his time and money.

“Fiona, why does what you say always sound so strange?”

Ron suspected that his maid was implying that he could be tougher on her.

But I've been busy preparing supplies these days, so I haven't had time to play games with the maid.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with your thinking, Master? The maid was just communicating with you normally; there's nothing strange about it."

Fiona crossed her arms and looked at the man beside her with an air of arrogance.

"Alright, your task this morning is to buy wheat, rye seeds, and farm tools."

Ron felt that it was reliable to entrust this task to Fiona.

"Understood, the maid will definitely help master diligently and wholeheartedly."

Fiona licked the corner of her mouth, gently biting her pink lips with her pearly teeth, her expression alluring.

Ron no longer had any doubts; he knew that his maid was deliberately provoking him.

But his mind is now focused on expanding his territory, waiting to establish a foothold in the swamp.

Ron will show Fiona what the consequences are for someone who likes to say strange things...

Chapter 50 Furious Philia! Ron won't tolerate it!

After the maid left, Ron finally had some peace and quiet.

Previously, there was only a rough plan for developing resources.

Seeing the detailed list makes it even clearer that expanding territory is no easy task.

There are more than a dozen items that need to be purchased.

The total amount exceeded three thousand gold coins, and this did not include wheat seeds and farm tools.

Considering all of these, it's estimated to cost around 3,500 gold coins.

Three thousand gold coins were only used to purchase ordinary exploration resources, not including potions, weapons, and equipment.

If you add all of these together, it would be an astronomical figure.

One potion costs around 1400 gold coins, so thirty potions would cost over 40,000 gold coins. Where would an ordinary nobleman get so much money?

This is also why it is difficult for minor nobles to rise to prominence.

The potions needed to train the Holy Knights alone are enough to bankrupt at least 90% of the nobles.

Fortunately, Ron possessed the complete recipe for Holy Knight potions, and produced thirty potions without spending a single penny.

The gold coins used to buy materials were earned from selling inferior potions.

Selling five more potions later will provide enough initial funding to expand our territory.

As long as the situation can be stabilized in the early stages and the territory gets on track, profits can be realized.

Ron stretched comfortably, preparing to head to Therese's shop to sell potions.

The last time I had a fairly good talk with that shop owner, Fanny, I decided to sell my products there again.

However, you still need to change your clothes so as not to reveal your true identity.

"My lord, are you going out?"

After eating and drinking her fill, Lucia lay on the sofa. Seeing Ron leave, she looked up and asked a question.

"I'm going to buy some things."

Ron responded with a smile, then spoke in a deep voice:

"You all stay home and behave yourselves. You will be officially heading to the territory in the next couple of days. Once there, your activities will no longer be confined to this small area."
