[Harem] [Beast-Eared Girls] [Territorial Conquest]
After transmigrating into the body of a down-and-out noble, he spends twelve years saving up before buying a piece of land nobody wants in the northern frontier: Stormhold. The previous lord was eaten alive by monsters, old soldiers occupy farmland without paying taxes, black-market smugglers have taken over the old warehouses, local thugs collect protection money every day, and the soil can barely grow a few grains of anything.
The Lord System he's bound to coolly reminds him: Please visit your territory in person to activate. All right, he's already bought the land, so he might as well make sure he doesn't lose money.
Bringing along a little squirrel girl who loves keeping accounts and saving money, then picking up a wolf-eared girl with an appetite big enough to eat three bowls of stew, Kyle sets off for the ruins with a hoe in hand. From today on, this place belongs to the Montcliffe family.
Collect taxes, clear land, build bridges, open trade routes, and investigate the ancient ruins buried beneath their feet. Some laugh that he bought a worthless patch of land; others are waiting to see him slink back to the royal capital in disgrace.
Kyle only has to do the math: the royal family is desperate to get rid of this land, the price is dirt cheap, there's no competition, and the taxes are low. As soon as it produces its first harvest, it'll be the most valuable land in the entire northern frontier.
He'll show everyone who's waiting for him to fail that even a bridgehead nobody wants can grow into the richest prize in the north.
