Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 140 Conscription
Iris collar, steel town.

A letter quickly flew from Tulip City towards Iris Collar, and then entered the hands of Baron Patel in the Government Affairs Hall.

In the letter, Shire instructed: Steel Town should do its best to produce soldiers' weapons and spears, and pay attention to whether there are monsters in the territory. If there are any, send the news as soon as possible and report to Tulip City.

Monster, did Master Shire encounter some monster this time?Baron Patel was a little puzzled. The news about Tulip City hadn't been heard yet, so Patel could only guess in his heart.

He stepped forward, with a round belly, and walked towards the blacksmith's shop.

If Master Shire sends a task, Patel always likes to do it right away, because after finishing it, he has no burden in his heart and he has more time to fish.

Neat wooden houses are lined up in a row, with thick black smoke billowing from them, and in the empty and remote steel town, the sound of hammering iron is very clear.

Patel was full of stomach, and walked slowly into a wide blacksmith's shop. The moment the curtain was lifted, heat rushed over in an instant.

"Lord Baron Patel, do you have any orders?" Blacksmith Lalu came out with his chest bare.

"The lord requested to build four thousand spears, as well as weapons and shields of various colors."

"Is the lord going to expand the army again?"

"Don't you know? Now that the army of the Principality of Luma is on the verge of the Grand Prince's territory, and now the Grand Prince Andres and the Second Prince are fighting for the throne, is the entire Principality of Artem in chaos?" Terl looked very understanding, looked at the stunned blacksmith Lalu and continued: "Master Shire will naturally expand his army, not to mention that if the second prince Enkata wins the throne, let's talk about Earl Violet, Guy Earl Turner, who hasn't just finished the war."

"Oh, oh, oh, so that's the case." Enkata looked educated, and then continued to ask: "Did the Earl say when the forging will be finished?"

"The lord didn't say it, but don't you know that this kind of thing should be done as soon as possible? Now that your son has been serving as a servant beside the eldest prince, it's time to take out those things that were kept at the bottom of the box. Town, Mustang Town, several small towns do not have an official political officer. Your son studies at the school in Tulip City for two days, and then goes to a small town to become a political officer in two years. After a few decades, he will be a baron It's gone." Peter said with a bewitching look on his face.
"He has always been concerned about this matter. He is no stranger to the school set up by Master Shire. I heard that it was specially set up by Master Shire for the male servants around him. He can go to a small town to become an administrative officer after going out. You might be able to become the mayor in [-] years." Lalu looked forward to it, ready to be moved by Petel.

"Don't worry, these apprentices have already mastered how to forge agricultural tools, and their skills are already proficient. Now I will teach them the skills of weapon forging." Lalu blacksmith said solemnly.

"Well, that's good, I will report this to Master Shire, your hard work must be rewarded." Petel promised solemnly.

"Then I will leave the matter here to you." Then Petel raised the curtain and walked outside. When he walked out of the blacksmith shop, he couldn't help showing a sly smile on his face.The son is serving as a servant by the young master's side. You, a father, can still run away, and you must not work hard for the young master.

……

In the square of the flower town, people come and go, very lively, especially the cobbler's shops passing by the flower town, one after another, each one is more magnificent.In the past few months, they have never stopped. If it is not for winter animal vests, or for soldiers' leather armor, the business is really booming.

Suddenly a group of Iris infantry with weapons came over and posted a page of papers on the square.Now the people in the square began to gather towards this side. Who didn't know that the first business of the cobbler's shop came from here. Although they couldn't read, there would be someone who would read it to them.

As time went by, more and more people gathered around, and the little official standing next to the document also began to read aloud.

A wrinkled and very dark serf in the crowd asked to the side: "What was said earlier, I don't understand why."

"The lord is going to conscript." One of the men in a linen coat said.

"Conscription, wars are going to happen again, and people are going to die again? Why are there wars right after the food is ready, what will happen to the crops in the field?"

"What should I do? Don't plant it. You deserve to be a serf for the rest of your life. You didn't listen to that person just now. As long as you are elected, you can receive a military salary. If you make meritorious service, you can also have your own farmland. .”

"This, is this true?"

"Why isn't it true? I heard that a piece of land has been circled in the north of Flower Town and rewarded to those Iris Flower infantrymen who have made great achievements in battle. Even if you die, your son and your relatives can also receive this land. "

"So good, it can't be fake."

"Fake, I heard that the area around Tulip City has been allocated. The land is there, and you can't go to other places. What are you afraid of? Let me tell you that you also let your eldest son serve as a soldier, at such an old age Still can't find a wife, that's not the case."

"I'll go back and add up."

"Then you have to hurry up. I heard that 1000 people will be recruited in Huahua Town. After the political affairs officer distributes the land north of Huahua Town to those soldiers who have made great achievements in battle, it will be too late for you to become a soldier.

Besides, being a soldier is not something anyone can do if they want to. You can't be too old, and you can't be too short. If you go to be a soldier, people won't want you. "The man looked at the serf in front of him with disdain.

Hearing this sentence, the dark-faced middle-aged serf felt relieved, "If this is the case, I will let my eldest son try it. He is a good hunter, and he can hunt it every few days. A hare is coming."

"Then hurry up and sign up. I heard that those who can hunt can become soldiers and can become archers. When fighting, they will shoot arrows behind. Regardless of safety, the military pay will be high."

"Really? Then I'll let my eldest son see it."

Under the publicity of those who are interested, the conscription of the flower town is in full swing, and there is an endless stream of people who go to sign up.

……

In the government affairs hall of Tulip City, the government affairs officer Mina is reporting the recently implemented measures to Ciel.

"Master Shire, Baron Patel has already replied that Iron Town is doing its best to forge the spears of Iris Flower Soldiers. And after his persuasion, Lalu blacksmith decided to take out the family's secret forging technology and teach those who make the assembly line The working apprentices, come to further improve their forging skills and forging speed, I believe that it will not be long before the Iris soldiers will be able to take their weapons."

"How's the recruiting in Wild Horse Town and Flower Town going?" Ciel looked at Mina, but couldn't forge weapons, but in the end there weren't enough recruits to use them.Shire is still very kind, and he didn't grab a sheep to pluck the wool. There are more than 2 people in Mustang Town and 3 people in Flower Town, and there are still more than 2000 Iris Flower recruits.

"Master, which method you mentioned is really useful. We recruited some people to spread gossip to the serfs. These serfs knew about the treatment of the Iris infantry, and rushed to sign up for the army. Listen The recruiter said that the recruits were of good physical fitness, and they were all good seedlings to serve as soldiers.

Moreover, it is very common for hunters to join the army this time, and many hunters have come to join the army.Recently, Battalion Commander Qasim's face has almost turned into a flower. ’ Mina joked.

Of course, which serf would not desire to own a piece of land, this is something engraved in the bones of the serf.Moreover, the government propaganda in the past was not in place. This time, not only did they send small officials to read it to them personally, but they even hired serfs to break into their circle and speak it out in their daily conversations.Charles didn't believe that there was any lord who could do better than him.

"However, master, in this case, our infantry regiment will expand to 4000 people, and there are two knight orders of 200 people and hundreds of war horses. Can our territory afford it?" Mina said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared." Charles said confidently. With soldiers, are you afraid that there will be no food?Although the food purchased in Pella City was delayed due to the sudden death of the old king, a lot of it was still transported back by him.Now the food in the territory can last for two or three months.

Although it can't catch up with the autumn harvest, isn't there still a neighbor?The old king gave him the territory of the Clivia family. When there is no food, he can take the Clivia and borrow some from the Violet family.

"What's the current situation in Calla Lily Flower Town? There's nothing wrong with it."

"Master, I heard that they are doing well." Mina replied with a smile on his face.

"Without them, Tulip City feels much quieter now, Mina, get ready, it's time for a new batch of students to enroll."

"Yes, Master Charles, I am ready. Without them, I still feel uncomfortable every day."

After chatting with Mina for a few words, Charles walked towards the mansion. Now Fina and Kitty are probably getting up soon, and now they are going back to have breakfast.

Walking on the road, Charles began to think about the gains and losses of this battle. This war undoubtedly treated his grandma's family badly. Killing these tauren, except for some tattered hammers and giant axes, he got nothing .

Suffering to death plus hundreds of women and children who escaped, but these are far worse than the losses he suffered.

Almost half of the Iris soldiers who were injured behind died, which was the result of simple disinfection with distilled alcohol.

The obtained population did not die much, and a batch of food for the expedition was consumed.

The good thing is that he finally figured out where the uneasiness came from, and also learned about the strength of these tauren, but now what Charles has to consider is whether to reveal this information.

If it was just an ordinary disaster, Charles would naturally prepare for it in advance with a solitary attitude, but these tauren are rational, and they are extremely hostile to humans, and they slaughtered humans indiscriminately, which has risen to the highest level. Contradictions between races.

Charles was worried that if the other nobles didn't deal with it well and let these tauren grow stronger, then all human beings would suffer, and he would not be able to escape by then.

In the end, Charles decided to spread the news. Apart from writing letters to Knight Bernard, Barron and Habel hired serfs and went out with gossip.

After all, his relationship with other earls is relatively poor, don't let other earls think that he has ulterior motives, and then don't take it seriously.And he's not that interested in posting their cold asses.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Caudle, why hasn't he come back yet?Are there any remaining tauren in the Blackstone Mountains?
I don’t know if I can use this opportunity to let Caudel lead people to persuade those tribes to come down the mountain and settle in the Iris Collar. They are all good archers.

Now the entire Iris collar is in a state of high-speed operation. Mustang Town and Flower Town are responsible for the conscription of the Iris infantry, and Tulip City has begun to verify the military achievements of the Iris infantry and look for the families of the Iris infantry who died in battle.

Then find a suitable field, measure it, and distribute it to the Iris infantry and their families who have made great achievements in battle.

When the land is indeed in their hands, I believe that the Iris infantry's desire to fight will become stronger, making preparations for the implementation of the policy of obtaining titles for military exploits in the future.

The leaders of the Iris family will also be more eager to join the army, and the future conscription will be smoother.But at this stage, he does not intend to continue to expand the army.After all, the military-to-civilian ratio is about ten to one. With the addition of cavalry and war horses, the current Iris collar really cannot support so many troops.

At some point, when Charles looked up, he found that he had already arrived at the door of the house.Walking into the hall, I saw that Fina and Kitty had already gotten up.

Fina was wearing a dignified and elegant long dress, standing in the hall ordering the servants to do things, and beside her stood Kitty in a white lace dress.

"Finally I'm willing." Charles smiled and walked over.

"It's not a good thing someone did last night." Fina rolled her eyes at Charles. Originally, it was her sister's fault last night, but unexpectedly she appeared on her bed in the middle of the night. It's really disgusting.

Charles smiled sheepishly, walked over, looked at the empty long wooden table, and asked, "What's for dinner today? Why hasn't it been served yet?"

Fina stood aside with her hips crossed and didn't speak. Kitty hurriedly replied, "I'm not feeling well today and I want to drink some milk, so the servants are not ready yet."

Oh, so it turned out to be the case, Charles suddenly realized, but secretly held grudges in his heart, it seems that the lesson given to Fina last night was not severe enough.

Looking at the two sisters, one tall and one short, Charles always felt confused. The dignified and majestic older sister looked like a delicate white deer, while the short younger sister looked like the elder sister. It was really funny.

But Andres seems to have forgotten that Kitty is still with him. Now Andres seems to be resisting the attack of the army of the Luma Principality. He can help out. The tens of thousands of troops of the Luma Principality can A good serf who farms the land.

And because of the war, there are many refugees in the territory of the Aquinacos family, so he can search it when the time comes.Move them to the vicinity of the steel town, and try to connect the steel town, calla lily town, and cherry blossom town together within three years, and become the new center of the iris flower.

　Thanks to Sun Liansheng for the reward, I have time to add an update.
