Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 121 Prepare to send troops
After a whole winter of development, the steel town has begun to take shape. The outermost is a circle of wooden fences, surrounding the steel town, leaving only four exits.The most important blacksmith shop in the steel town occupies half of the land in the steel town. The neatly built blacksmith shops are next to each other, with thick smoke billowing from above. Now all the blacksmith shops in the steel town are working hard to smelt ore. Forging farm tools.

The wind in early spring was a bit cold. Baron Patel, wearing a winter coat, walked out of the house and walked towards the west gate of the steel town. Today is the day when Master Charles arrives.

Walking on the road, Baron Patel's thoughts could not help but unfold.Fortunately, the young master stayed in Tulip City for a few more days. Taking advantage of this time, the blacksmith shop with sufficient ore rushed to work. A large number of farm tools were forged and transported to the warehouse, hoping to satisfy the young master.

To the west of Steel Town, on the road from Tulip City to Steel Town, a large group of people were walking towards Steel Town, and the team looked very mixed.

This time, not only Shire came alone, but also the Iris infantry who had changed their guards to the steel town, and a group of serfs who were attracted by Shire's land reclamation policy in the east.

Charles took the lead and walked in front. The Iris infantry often walked on this road. Naturally, there were no blind robbers on this road.Charles can also be a pioneer with peace of mind.

In fact, with the expansion of the Iris Infantry Regiment and the implementation of the Changing of the Guard, the bandits in the Iris Collar gradually had trouble going on.Because once the robbers attack a certain village, not to mention being blocked by the security team inside for a period of time, even if they succeed, a large number of Iris infantry will start hunting them afterwards.

Shire's wasteland reclamation order is very attractive to these robbers who have nowhere to go. A few brave robbers tried to go to the government office to ask them if they could go to land reclamation. Mina, who didn't know how to deal with it, naturally Tell Shire, when Shire announced that everyone can go to the east to open up wasteland, regardless of whether this person has completed the population registration or not.

With the lord's personal endorsement, the bandits with the fleur-de-lis collar rushed to report to the government affairs hall, and Charles looked at the team behind him.

Those who went to the east to open up wasteland were all men in their prime of life, and there were very few old people, women and children accompanying them. Perhaps they took their families over in consideration of a safe station.

It was already very close to the town of steel. Charles raised his head and looked forward, and could vaguely see a little fat man standing in front of him. Has Baron Patel gained weight again?When I got closer and took a closer look, it turned out to be Baron Patel.

Seeing Charles' arrival, Petel hurried up to greet him, stroked his chest with his right hand, and bowed, "My lord, welcome."

Charles stayed on the horse, looked at Patel who bowed his head, and smiled slightly. Baron Patel was more respectful than before, at least during the ceremony.

"Baron Patel, send someone to prepare some food first, the soldiers and people behind me haven't eaten yet."

"Yes, Lord Earl, the food for the Iris infantry has been prepared in the barracks, and the food for these pioneer farmers is in the square of Steel Town."

"That's good," Charles got off his horse and strode into the steel town, followed by Petel carefully.The soldiers and farmers in the back also have special people to lead them.

Walking into the town, Charles did not go directly to the government affairs hall, or to the house prepared for him by Patel.He walked on the street, looking at the current situation of the steel town.

The neat log cabins are one after the other, and they seem to be very neatly built, but from time to time, grey-faced, skinny cosmos serfs come out of them.

"Peter, are the serfs in Cosmos behind you honest?"

"Master, although there have been a few sporadic riots, before the Iris infantry stationed there are dispatched, those little bosses who are also cosmos serfs have suppressed them. Now these cosmos serfs are dissatisfied , but they are all aimed at those little heads.”

While Charles and Patel were talking, the cosmos serfs who came out of the house saw the noble lord coming, and they all lowered their heads and knelt down by the roadside.

"That's good. These cosmos serfs can also participate in this year's eastern wasteland reclamation. There are no farm tools that the government affairs department can distribute to them, but they need to be purchased. Moreover, the land government affairs department accounts for [-]% of the land reclamation, and they share [-]%. It must be different from the citizens of the Iris Territory.

But we must also give them hope, if they can stay in peace for three years, they will be the leaders of Iris in the future, and the treatment will be the same as them. "

"Yes, young master, your kindness shines on them, I believe they will stay honestly and appreciate your kindness."

Baron Patel had a flattering smile on his face, but he began to think seriously in his heart.With unequal treatment, whether it is cherry blossom collar, calla lily collar, or other serfs, they will be grateful for the status of iris collar. After all, these untouchables don't know what honor is, they only know the small profits in front of them. .

And the serfs of these cosmos also have hope. After a few years, they will get the status of iris leader. If anyone says that they are serfs of cosmos in the future, they will not be happy.

"If the serfs don't have enough silver coins, let them pay in installments, but the price cannot be raised."

As an aristocrat, Petel naturally knew what installment payments meant, because the aristocrats did not have so many gold coins in their possession or in their territories, so a common method for the aristocrats was to sign a contract and pay back afterwards.

The discussions between Shire and Baron Patel did not lower their voices, so the cosmos serfs who were kneeling next to them also heard them, especially when they heard the noble lord who looked like a lord talking about them, they were even more excited. Turn your ears to listen.

Could it be that they also have arable land?
Can they be the same as the people here after a few years?
When they opened up wasteland, those vicious political officials would distribute farm tools to them?
These cosmos serfs were overwhelmed with joy. With land, they could survive. As for the fact that Shire led troops to flatten their homes and rob them of their property, they selectively ignored them.

Those well-to-do wealthy households who complained and had flesh and blood died long ago, and the rest were honest and responsible people. There was hope in their future lives, and they gradually became happy in their hearts.

After seeing the civilian area, Shire walked towards the area of ​​the blacksmith shop. There were wooden houses with a chimney on the roof, which was also invented by Shire. Although it was still morning, all the blacksmith shops were covered with fire. There was billowing smoke.Charr looked at the thick smoke in the sky, they meant that an endless supply of farm tools was being forged.

Petel saw that Charles was interested, and hurriedly introduced, "Lord Earl, the assembly line you invented has been widely used. The blacksmith shops in this area are all established by apprentices. This one is in charge of forging hoes. These few Responsible for the smelting of ore, these few are responsible for forging the sickle.

Therefore, the serfs transported all the ore mined in the mine to these blacksmith shops, and then smelted it, then sent it to these shops, and finally sent it to these shops, and what came out was usable farm tools. "

"Call me master, the earl seems too old." Charles smiled slightly, "However, this cooperation mode is still too crude, why not merge these into a blacksmith shop, which will be more convenient. "

"Young Master, I made a suggestion at the beginning, but those skilled blacksmiths were not very happy."

Shire knew that it was because they had no confidence in Steel Town after all. After all, technology could be passed down from generation to generation, but the newly established Steel Town and the Iris family might disappear at any time.However, with the rapid development and gradual prosperity of the steel town, and with the gradual strength of the Iris family, they will agree sooner or later.

At least now, there is such a phenomenon. The iron tripod he proposed at the beginning had technical difficulties, so the blacksmiths in the steel town gathered to discuss it from time to time. This phenomenon is very good.Technology and ideas are inseparable from communication.

"Peter, take me to Blacksmith Lalu, I want to see how the iron tripod is being made."

The catastrophe finally came, and Baron Patel explained: "Master, there is a problem in the production of the iron tripod. The small sample I mentioned in the letter has not been produced yet."

"It's okay, it's normal to encounter problems, but try to find a way to solve them." Charles showed a peaceful smile on his face. He wanted to see if he could give some advice to Lalu blacksmith. That's a problem, the excellent land near the river has been reclaimed long ago, so the effect of the storage of Qi brought by the iron tripod and the effect of good weather are too attractive.

"Follow your orders, sir."

……

Principality of Luma, Tran City.

King Ezzil Asiri listened to the report of the political officer Lil Baines.

"Your Majesty, the spring planting has been completed in the aristocratic territories of Luma Principality. The bugs have been sown everywhere, and the only thing left is to harvest food in autumn."

Ezziel laughed loudly, "That's right, you guys are doing very well. The Principality of Artem hasn't fought us for a long time, and maybe it has forgotten that our spring planting time is earlier than theirs. Maybe we can fight He was caught off guard."

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to what I heard from Geithner County, they are still in the cold early spring, let alone planting seeds. Now they are busy with spring planting. If they attack now, they will definitely not be able to react in time. "

Edzil turned to his brother Rashid Asiri, his great general. "Rashid, how is the training of the [-] soldiers preparing to go out? If you want to go out without a strong army, it won't work."

Shouldn't you know better than me, Edzier.I ran to the barracks every three days and came up with a lot of wonderful ideas, which made me have to go to the barracks every day.But Rashid only dared to think this way in his heart, but there was another rhetoric on his lips,

"Your Majesty, after your guidance and the arduous training of these soldiers, these [-] soldiers have taken on a new look, but if they want to have a strong combat effectiveness, they still have to go through a year of training.

If they go out now, the recruits have never been on the battlefield, and there may be some problems by then. "

It is still making progress, but it will take another year to fight, and the defeat will not be blamed on me. Rashid also knows in his heart that it is impossible for Ezil to wait another year.So in case of defeat in the future, he has reason to shirk.

"Rashid, you need to fight with all your might. Besides, there are only a few thousand people fighting us, but we have 3 people. Even if they are recruits, one mouthful of saliva can drown them all." Ezzil said silently in his heart, and he This military genius.

Edziel looked at the silent cardinal and asked with a smile,

"Ugo Bridges, what do you think.?"

Following Edziel's gaze, an old man with a kind face was sitting on a chair, wearing a red and loose robe.On his breast hung a metal cross,
"Your Majesty, the Lord loves and trusts His lambs. War is not what He likes to see, but as the Lamb of the Lord, it is our mission to bring faith to those ignorant people.

And I am willing to send twenty crusaders to help you pacify the north, defeat those backward and ignorant people, and bring them the light of faith. "

Ezzil's face brightened, "I believe that the foolish people of the Principality of Tatum will definitely welcome the arrival of the Church of Light."

"Thank you for your wisdom, His Majesty Edziel." Ugo Bridges clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

What Rashid wanted to say at the beginning could only be swallowed.He originally thought that Ugo Bridges, who preached peace and light, would dissuade Ezzil from going out, and then he could take advantage of the situation and propose that it would be better to wait for a while until the Sukale Principality has also finished sowing seeds. Attack together.After all, he knew that the army he had trained would not be a problem to fight the thieves in the country, but he felt that it was a bit daunting to fight against the wolf-like army of the Principality of Artem.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly benevolent Ugo Bridges encouraged His Majesty Edziel to fight and sent twenty crusaders, so how could he persuade His Majesty to delay the attack.

Ezzil was full of ambition and laughed, [-] new recruits were ready to fight, and the serf army on the other side couldn't even gather [-], and the opposite side couldn't gather enough soldiers due to the spring planting. He had already thought of going to the city of Pella , captured the old king Ashuraf Aquinax alive.

But now you can't be careless, the book of war says that for a general, food and grass are the most important at any time, so they ordered:

"The food for Lear Baines's expedition must be prepared and sent to the northern fortress of the Principality of Luma."

"It's Your Majesty, you are really too wise. You have never experienced anything, but you think so carefully, just like a heroic general."

Perhaps it was just the right flattery, and a smile appeared on Edzier's face.
