“…Dear, what are you busy with?”

At night, Lotti whispered to open the wooden door of the study on the second floor of the Mubao, and walked in with a cup of hot milk.

Yat looked up slightly, looked at Lotti, then put down the quill in his hand, reached out to take the milk that Lotti brought to his hand. "Nothing, it's all about valley construction~"

Lotti walked to Yat, fiddled with his hands to the valley map placed on the table, and looked carefully. "Newly built village~", "Business Road~", "Nanguan Military Fort..." Lotti looked at the mark on the map and read it out loud from time to time. He was deeply fascinated by the valley map in front of him.

Since I spent most of my time in Mubao, Lotti’s understanding of the south of the valley was limited to a few villages such as the valley. The situation further south was only occasionally mentioned by Yat, and there was only a general concept. Now, seeing the whole view of the valley presented on the map, Lotti couldn’t help but yearn for the south of the valley.

"Dear, is the entire valley on the picture your Earl's territory?" Lotti felt a little excited in his heart, and turned his head to look at Yat.

Yat reached out to hold Lotti's slender waist, deliberately kept it in a slim waist, and said, "This is the core secret of the valley, how can I tell you easily."

"I can't even know?" Lotty reached out and stroked Att's handsome face, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. The candlelight shone on the smooth and tender face, still charming.

"This~" Yat was speechless for a moment. Looking at Lotti's delicate appearance, the line of defense in his heart was about to be broken through.

Just as Yat was wandering, Lotty's soft lips fell on his forehead~

"Okay, okay, I said, I said~ But, you have to promise me something first..." Yat wanted to use this as a condition.

"What's up?"

"You agree first."

Lotti didn't speak, and intuition told her that her husband must go out again. As an earl in a province, Yat had hardly had a good rest for even one day, either busy with military affairs or being plagued by government affairs. As a wife, Lotti certainly felt sorry for her husband, but she understood his difficulties more.

Seeing Lotti turn his head over, Yat was about to speak, but then stopped.

In this way, neither of them spoke. Silence, bursts of silence.

After a while, Lotti finally spoke and asked, "Are you going to leave the valley again?"

"Leave the valley?" Yat was a little surprised. "How do you think so?"

"Then what did you ask me to promise you?" Lotty felt a little aggrieved and pushed Yat away with his hand and stood alone.

"Dear, I just want to ask for your consent. I plan to take people to survey the entire valley again in two days so that the later construction of the government will not be with you and George for a while. Before I could speak, you were already a little unhappy~" Yat looked at Lotti with his eyes straight, hoping to get her consent. After all, he promised his wife to be with them two days ago.

"You really just go to the south of the valley?" Lotti suddenly turned around and asked after hearing this.

"When did I deceive you? I think you also know that the importance of the valley as the core of the Count's territory is self-evident. As an earl in a province, I have the responsibility to open up the valley. There are tens of thousands of leaders following me. If I don't spend any effort to build the valley into a happy land, what's the point of their follower?"

"You also see that the entire Burgundy marquis is still unstable, and my territory has a poor foundation and a weak foundation. If you don't hurry up and complete the construction of the valley, what will I use to protect you and what will I use to defend my territory..." Yat poured out all his bitterness in one breath.

Standing beside Lotti slowly walked behind Yat, hugged him, and said, "Dear, I just worry that your body can't bear it. You work day and night like this, I really worry about you~ Since this is your decision, as your wife, I should also support you..."

Seeing that Lotti finally let go, Yat's frown slightly stretched out.

"Dear, thank you for understanding my difficulties so well." Yat reached out and touched Lotti's face...

…………

The next day, Yat summoned Cooper and others and told the people about his decision to go to the south of the valley to investigate again, which was undoubtedly opposed by them.

"...Master, you have been so hard on the valley recently. I think you are recruiting several officials from the Government to take some people to investigate. Why should you go there in person?" Cooper tried his best to dissuade him, not wanting to see Yat embark on the journey of the southern wilderness again.

"Yes, sir. If you are worried, I will take someone to investigate in person. There are many officials in the government office who are good at this matter, just let them do it." Scott, who was sitting next to him, also disagreed with Yat going there in person.

"Okay, don't argue anymore." Yat reached out to stop the few people. "I understand your feelings, but I have to do this in person." Yat's attitude was extremely firm.

"There are two reasons. One is that you, the chief officials of the government, are currently responsible for heavy responsibilities, and the construction of the valley cannot be separated from you for a moment. If you leave, who will lead the people to build the territory? Second, the planning and construction of the valley are of great importance, and once it is decided, you cannot change it at will. Only after I fully understand the situation of the valley can I decide how to plan and build it in the future. Besides, no one among you knows the southern valley better than me, so it is perfect for me to go there in person."

"But~" Cooper wanted to dissuade him again, and Yat stopped him.

"Old butler, I am not here during this period, and all the affairs of the government will be handed over to you. If the army has anything important, let them report me quickly. I will mark along the way so that you can find me then." After Yat said that, he signaled everyone to raise a glass, poured a large glass of beer into his stomach, and burped with satisfaction.

"Master, since that's the case, we won't say anything more. But today, there are wild animals in the southern part of the valley, and venomous snakes and venomous insects appear and appear. Are you thinking about bringing more manpower and equipment? " Although Cooper is old, he is still meticulous and careful in his work.

"Well, this time is different from the past. I will conduct a thorough and detailed survey of the valley, which does require a lot of manpower and supplies. So, old housekeeper, you will arrange five or six officials in the government who are good at drawing maps and can ride horses to go with me. In addition, I will draw some soldiers from the army from the army to follow them. First, I can protect everyone's safety, and second, I can also help to open the way. In this way, I can complete the investigation of the valley as soon as possible."

Cooper and others nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, sir, the weapons workshop has recently created a lot of tools for clearing land. I think you may be able to use it if you bring some." Cooper suddenly mentioned.

"Okay, you can arrange it and we will pick it up when we pass by the workshop area."

"yes."

"Okay, let's prepare. We'll set off in two days. Ron, you go to the army to select some troops and go with us. In addition, call Matthew up, that guy also knows the situation in the valley and can help."
