"Look at this territorial development plan! I plan to divide the territory into three areas: a residential district, a commercial district, and an agricultural district!"
The lord tapped the wooden board and raised his voice.
The workers below looked utterly baffled. No matter how they looked at it, they could not understand why two eggs and a grilled sausage were supposed to be a territorial development plan.
"This side will become the residential district. The company's quarters will be here as well." Li Ang pointed at one of the circles.
"Ooh..." His subordinates indicated that they understood.
"This is the commercial district. I'm going to build a general market here and open a brewery." Li Ang pointed at another circle.
"Ooh, ooh!"
"The large area at the back is the agricultural district. We'll plant wheat on a large scale. The climate here is very suitable for producing ale."
With a solemn expression, the lord pointed at the crude sausage-like line. It did not look quite right to him, so he added a few more strokes to represent wheat. "Wheat Field Manor will divide the territory into plots. By then, it will truly be Wheat Fragrance Village."
"Ooh, ooh, ooh!"
Everyone seemed to understand, except Ansen, who covered his forehead and let out a long breath. He looked as though he had been relieved—or perhaps as though he had given up.
"All right, does anyone have any suggestions regarding the territory's development?"
Li Ang looked eagerly at his subordinates.
Sarah was the first to speak. "My lord, it seems you should first decide on your banner and coat of arms. You need to register them with the county."
Li Ang slapped his thigh. "Right! I've never gotten around to that... What do you think would be suitable?"
Sarah shook her head.
