Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 145 Barron Returns
After a while, Caudle bid farewell to Charles, preparing supplies and candidates for the Blackstone Mountains.

Watching Caudle walk out of the hall, Charles half leaned back on the chair and began to think about what to do next.

The knight troops stationed in the frontiers of the Duke of Sukale have withdrawn to deal with the monsters that appeared in the country. Among the three principalities, it seems that the Duke of Luma has no monsters.

What is the reason for this, why there are no monsters in the Principality of Luma.

And there seems to be no monsters in the center of the Holy Empire.

Immediately afterwards, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in Charles's heart. He tried to substitute this period of history into the era of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. A divine emperor with dominion over the entire empire.

But the Amos family that ruled the Holy Empire was too quiet, as if it didn't exist.Moreover, the Amos family has a territory directly belonging to them. Although the area is not as large as the three principalities, it is much larger than an earldom.But they are so honest that they are almost invisible.

Although the three principalities no longer listen to the orders of the holy emperor, they have never publicly stated that the three principalities do not belong to the holy empire. On the contrary, the three principalities donate property to the holy emperor every year.

Although the contribution was greatly discounted compared to the past, it was given every year. Charles estimated that they might be doing it to better collect taxes from the lower levels. After all, he only handed in a thousand gold coins this year.If the principality does not pay taxes to the empire, then they have no obligation to pay taxes to the king, and whether to pay taxes is a matter of the strength of both parties.

Logically speaking, there is enough money and food every year, and the Amos family, which is directly under their territory, shouldn't be so unknown, but they are so quiet, and the quietness is a bit weird.

It could be that they are recharging their energy, but the three principalities cannot sit back and watch the Amos family rise again, and they will not even give them a chance.But the three principalities really ignored the Amos family.

Charles intends to ask Kitty, she should know a lot of information about this, after all, she is also a princess.Just when Shire was about to leave, suddenly a small official from the government affairs office came over.

"My lord, Mr. Barron is back."

"Where is he, let him come in quickly." Xia Er suppressed his thoughts of going home, and sat down on the chair again.

After a while, Barron, who hadn't had time to change his clothes, came in, saw Charles sitting on the chair, and bowed.

"My lord, I'm back."

"Thank you, Barron." Charles motioned him to sit down, with a gentle smile on his face: "Don't be so extravagant, when I just succeeded the baron, it was you who tracked down the bandits and recovered them. Father's bones."

"The Clivia family really doesn't have the dignity of a noble at all, but now, young master, you have been canonized as an earl by the king, and the territory of the Clivia family has also been canonized to you. It is finally time to understand the grievances between the two families. I am very pleased with what you said." Barron sat on the chair and said to Charles.

"What are the second prince Enkata and Earl Rhonda doing now?" Charles asked Baron.

"Master, when I evacuated, I found out that the second prince, Enkata, and Earl Rhonda were besieging the wild boars in the small town of Peter. Enkata dispatched his Knights and the Royal First Infantry, and Earl Rhonda also dispatched a The infantry regiment seems to be planning to completely encircle and wipe out the wild boar."

"Are the wild boars in the Earl of Rhonda massacring humans?"

"Master, I heard that Earl Rhonda almost slaughtered [-] serfs. These wild boars who suddenly appeared are very cruel. They will kill every human being in their sight and cut off their heads. Otherwise, Rhonda The earl and the second prince would not dispatch so many troops to encircle these beasts."

Barron said angrily that no matter where such a tragic thing happened, it could arouse people's indignation, even though Barron had killed many people as a knight.

Charles thought in his heart, it seemed that this kind of behavior was not a special case, but he didn't know whether these monsters came from the same place or from other places. If they met together, would they fight?

"Master, and the number of these monsters will gradually increase. When these monsters first appeared, Earl Rhonda sent an infantry regiment to encircle and suppress these wild boars.

At the beginning, there were only one or two hundred wild boars, and Earl Rhonda's infantry regiment quickly killed them, and Earl Rhonda led his troops back after the fight.

But then the serfs were brutally killed one after another. Earl Rhonda sent troops to encircle them again, but after more than ten days, the number of wild boars became more than 400.

It's not enough for these quilboar to kill humans, they also brutally cut off their heads.These beasts are really cruel. "

Breed?Or call?These tauren and wild boar have the habit of cutting their heads, and they most likely come from the same place.Does the human head have any special function?Otherwise, there is absolutely no need for these monsters to do anything extra, or there are harmful substances in the human brain, and they will die suddenly if they eat them.

Hearing this, Charles was afraid for a while. Fortunately, he wiped out the tauren before they became stronger. If they were allowed to enter the Iris collar, the loss would be too great. The first place among them was Iris Town .

"Baron, you have made arrangements for those who stay in Pella City."

"Master, it has been arranged. The person I arranged is Otis. He is from Iris Town. His brother is an Iris infantryman. His wife, family and parents are also in Iris Town."

"Does he have a son?"

"Master, I have two sons."

"Write to him and tell him that his youngest son has gone to serve as a servant to the Earl of Shire."

"Yes, Master Charles, I will write and tell him."

"Baron, are you wondering why I called you back suddenly?" Charles stood up from his chair and looked at Barron, seeing that he was silent, he continued: "Actually, nothing major happened, but I asked you to come back." It is indeed a great thing for you to do."

"Master, what can I do for you." Barron slowly stood up.

"I plan to establish a household registration system. According to the census of each village and each small town, the people of each village and each small town will be registered in the register. It must be implemented for each individual. If someone dies of old age, die in battle , or died due to other circumstances, then he will be eliminated from the household registration, and if a newborn is born, it will be registered in the household registration.”

"Master, the amount of work involved in this matter is really too great, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

A look of perplexity appeared on Barron's face. There were tens of thousands of people in the entire Iris collar, and there were hundreds of villages. It would take too many people to register each of them.And what's the benefit of doing it?
"That's why I need your help. The security team you took the lead in establishing. I plan to hand over the specific implementation work to them. In addition, there are officials, large and small, in the Government Affairs Office, and I will take the lead in implementing this matter personally. .

I plan to merge those villages that are very scattered. The small villages with dozens or hundreds of people should not continue to exist. Merge them together to ensure that each village will have at least 500 people in the future , and it is necessary to set up a security team and a small government affairs office in each village, and the government affairs department can be held by the village head of the village.

Divide the registered household registration into two parts, one in the security team and the other in the government affairs office. In the future, when the iris-collared citizens travel to other places, they must first get the documents from the security team. When they arrive at the destination, they will hand over the documents to If the local security team has no documents, they will be treated as spies. "

Charles looked at Barron, under Charles' burning gaze, Barron lowered his head and nodded in agreement.

Shire, who traveled from modern times, clearly knows the power of spies. In this era, there are almost no means of preventing spies.

But if the household registration management system is completed, the control over the territory will be greatly improved, and outsiders in the territory can be easily identified.Shire estimates that as long as the household registration management system is implemented, the number of spies in the Iris collar will be reduced by 9/10.

The merging of the villages was not decided by Charles on a whim, but after careful consideration.The scattered villages in the territory are too chaotic. One is that it is not suitable for taxation, and the other is that Shire does not have so many people to manage it.The third is easy to control.

Moreover, after the population is included, the area of ​​cultivated land is no longer scattered. Charles remembered that in his previous life, Europe changed from the two-field system to the three-field system, which greatly increased food production. He plans to try it too, but the three-field system requires a lot The arable land with the same area, merging villages can just solve this problem.

After Barron retreated, Charles called Mina, Rice, Rao, and Andrew, etc., and Charles planned to implement this matter as soon as possible while everyone around them was fighting.

When everyone gathered in the government affairs hall, they began to mutter in their hearts, is it possible that Master Shire is planning to go to war?Why is there no wind at all.

"I'm planning to inspect the Iris Collar." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Charles announced directly.

"Master, what do you mean?" Mina looked at Charles with some doubts.

"This time I am inspecting the Iris Flower collar, I plan to dispatch the three thousand Iris Flower recruits in the Iris Flower City. They have been training in the queue for a while, and it is time for marching training.

In addition, the Knights have to go with the army. Since the expansion of the Knights, they have not experienced a single battle, so they should also be pulled out.

Starting from Tulip City, the first stop is Steel Town, the second stop is the nearby Calla Flower Town and Cherry Blossom Town, then Iris Town, Mustang Town, and finally Flower Town. "
