Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

The next morning.

Ron climbed out of the warmth.

Looking at her haggard reflection in the mirror, she thought, "I've been ruined by alcohol and women, and I look so worn out."

"Starting today, I will abstain from alcohol!!!"

It has to be said that after Liulichuan's breakthrough, his physical attributes actually improved quite a bit.

She's comparable to Lilith and the others.

So Ron couldn't resist and pedaled his bicycle a few more times.

It looks like Liulichuan won't be able to finish his work today again.

Ron took out a bottle of diluted concentrate from his spatial storage and drank it down in one gulp.

Then you'll be fully healed.

After washing up, I went to my personal training area.

I practiced swordsmanship for a while.

This is a fixed daily routine, and my physical fitness is improving at a visible rate every day.

You must train to maintain control over your strength.

Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Battle energy circulated within him as he slashed out with each sword strike, creating a subtle whistling sound.

When he came out of the training field, Palin was already waiting for him in the council chamber.

The old administrator, dressed in a clean robe and carrying a stack of account books, looked quite energetic.

"Sir, everyone has arrived."

"Alright, everyone, please report on the situation within the territory over the past month."

Palin was the first to answer:

"My lord, everything in the territory has progressed as usual during the month you were away, and nothing went wrong."

"Lily Town is already in use, Green Lake Port's trade has reached the level of previous years, and Linshui Territory is also well managed by Lady Elise."

"Judging from this, the confirmation of the expansion two months from now is a sure thing for our River Bend territory."

Ron nodded in satisfaction: "Good job, you've worked hard."

Once the frontier was away from Ron, it was peaceful, and none of the nearby lords had any intention of causing trouble.

This disappointed Ron.

He thought that during the month he was away, Baron Austin would be up to something behind his back.

Now there's no reason to hit him anymore.

He then turned to look at Laun: "What about the territory's defenses?"

Lauen replied respectfully: "The territory currently has about four hundred guards, two hundred in our River Bend territory, one hundred and fifty in the Waterfront territory, and fifty in Green Lake Harbor."

Ron thought for a moment: "You will be in charge of all the recruitment and training of soldiers in Linshui Territory."

"Good prospects are treated equally."

"I'll talk to Elise about it in person later."

Linshui Territory is now basically under Ron's control.

Boris's men had long been purged in round after round, leaving only ordinary serfs.

Overall, Elise is no longer of much use, but Ron still puts her in charge of the Waterfront Territory.

When the time is right, we'll add it to the castle.

Next, Ron listened to the progress of various developments in the territory and found that they were indeed on the right track.

Dick suggested, "Sir, it's time to build a magnificent castle; only then will it be worthy of you."

My great master.

Ron did not refuse this time.

He's fought so many battles, it's time for him to enjoy himself.

"It's definitely time to build a castle!"

"Let's discuss how to build the castle."

"Where will it be built? How big will it be?"

The men began to whisper among themselves.

Some suggested building it at the port, while others proposed building it on the original site.

After everyone analyzed the pros and cons for Ron, Ron pondered for a while.

The final decision was to build it on the original site.

Although the port has a good location, there is already a castle in Green Lake Territory next to it.

You can use that one from now on.

Ron doesn't mind.

After agreeing on the location, Ron instructed Perrin to hire a castle architect in Oak City to design the castle.

While I'm at it, I'll take the magic metal armor that Ron bought at the auction to someone to repair.

Ron asked all the blacksmiths in the territory, but none of them could do it.

We can only place our hopes on the alchemists in Oak City.

Even if it can't be restored to its original state, reshaping the armor's shape would be acceptable.

After Ron issued his order, the long-peaceful territory once again ushered in a long-awaited period of large-scale construction.

The serfs in the territory were to get started first, preparing the necessary materials so that work could begin immediately.

The brick kiln continues to operate on night shifts.

First, let the serfs suffer; let Dick bear the infamy.

In the afternoon, Ron led a few men on a tour of the territory to see which place was suitable for building a castle.

After choosing the location of the castle.

He left everything to Perrin and Ron set off for Waterfront Territory.

Since Ron occupied Linshui Territory, almost everything of value has been emptied out.

Now only tens of thousands of acres of farmland and ten thousand serfs are truly valuable.

Enter the castle.

Elise had already received the news and was waiting in advance.

Ron pulled her into his arms.

"Did you miss me, sister-in-law?"

Faced with Ron's perverse sense of humor, Elise pinched the soft flesh on his waist in annoyance.

"You're going to die~ You've already taken advantage of me, and you're still making fun of me."

The servants around them dared not look up at the two flirting.

Of Ron's women.

Liulichuan possesses an innate elegant and aristocratic style, and also has a few quirks.

Lilith is cute and sweet, speaks sweetly, and is also quite crazy.

Elise is alluring and charming, with a strong sense of wifely love.

But when it comes to figure, Elise has the best figure.

Only the Viscountess could rival her.

Unfortunately, the Viscountess only had a trial card.

After discussing the territory with Elise, it was already evening.

In the banquet hall.

Ron met with the various stewards of the current Linshui Territory.

The banquet was set up according to the standards of an aristocratic feast. This was to demonstrate the importance and trust placed in them, and to put them at ease.

All of this was arranged by Elise; that woman is quite capable.

Candles hung high in the dome of the banquet hall, their silver candlesticks reflecting off gilded plates. Long tables stretched from one end of the hall to the other, covered with deep crimson velvet tablecloths, laden with various delicacies, their aromas mingling with the richness of wine and the warm spiciness of spices, filling the entire hall.

Each person has an appetizer in front of them: a dish of pickled fruits and vegetables, a platter of frozen meat, and a bread basket.

Crystal-clear aspic encases tender, bouncy wild venison and plump pheasant breast, cut into pieces and arranged on a silver plate, sprinkled with crushed pepper and salt for flavor.

Pickled cucumbers, honey-soaked apple slices, and salted purple cabbage are served in an ornately carved bowl. The combination of sweet and sour flavors is refreshing, cleansing the palate and stimulating the appetite. Paired with freshly baked bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it is mixed with honey.

Ron raised his glass to give a speech:

"Among those of you here, some are veteran managers, but most are new managers. However, after tonight, you will all gain my trust."

Ron didn't launch into a long speech; once he finished, he ordered the servants to serve the main course.

A whole roasted wild boar is the centerpiece of the banquet. The wild boar's skin is roasted until it is reddish-brown and crispy, and it is brushed with honey and cinnamon sauce, with the juices slowly dripping down the muscle fibers.

Stuffed with chestnuts, mushrooms, and onions, the meat is tender and juicy when cut open, with a strong and intense aroma.

Each person also has a serving of roasted swan, stewed beef with red wine sauce, and pan-fried white fish fillet in front of them.

Serve with cream of mushroom soup and apple cherry pie.

The stewards of these territories had never received such treatment.

After this banquet, they'll probably be able to brag about it for the rest of their lives.

This completely put these people at ease, so they no longer had to fear being treated as Boris's cronies one day.

night.

inside the room.

Ron wiped his hands:

"You seem to be a bit feverish lately."
