Pioneering

Chapter 236 Heirs and Flourishing Development

After dealing with the banshee Ged, Zhong Ming took Lavinia back to Herrot Castle.

At this time, with the death of the banshee, the people of the Zamora family who were mentally controlled also returned to normal.

Mental health only... Physical, not so good.

The retainers of the Zamora family who were aroused by the banshee and couldn't find the opposite sex, and the members of Besov's Horn Mercenary Corps... are indescribable, too indescribable!

Anyway, after Zhong Ming returned to the castle with the weak Lavinia in his arms, he saw that many of the people who had woken up were dying, looking hopeless.

Well, it may be that you cannot accept the gong, or you may not be able to accept it.

In short, it's too miserable, the ground is full of blood, it can be called indescribable!
It caused a lot of mental damage to Zhong Ming and Lavinia.

Lavinia thought that if she lived in this castle in the future, she would be left with huge physical and psychological discomfort.

But it was not without benefits, this success made Zhong Ming persuade Lavinia to follow him back to live in Chang'an City.

Zhong Ming promised her that if Lavinia gave birth to more than two male children for Zhong Ming, she could change her surname to Zamora.

Besov is mentally resolute. After venting his emotions, he took the remaining mercenaries on board and prepared to run away without washing his emotions. His actions were decisive and resolute, and he looked quite wise.

However, he was caught by Zhong Ming and brought back.

Afterwards, he was hanged on the castle for murder, property infringement, illegal armed crimes... a total of more than 30 crimes, which can be regarded as revenge for Rufes.

To the bewildered vassals and servants, Lavinia also pretended to be a tiger, and dealt with a group of disobedient ones by using excuses, basically mastering the situation in Haifeng County.

After Zhong Ming personally presided over the succession of Lavinia and dispatched a group of standing troops stationed in the coastal province to maintain order, everything went very smoothly. A "claim" from a distant family member.

Then, the two returned to Chang'an City.

When Shana and Kesarina saw Lavinia, they felt a great sense of crisis, so that Shana, who had always been reserved in the past, took the initiative to attack Zhong Ming at night and handed over her first time.

After March, the roads and pacification work in the four new provinces were fully completed, the missionary mission was completed, the conscription was completed, and some shipyards and docks were preliminarily established in the two coastal provinces.

In autumn, the residents of Yaxia, who had enjoyed the tax-free policy for a whole year, harvested a full warehouse of grain. Many people even held the land and ears of wheat, and performed various inexplicable behaviors like crazy.

No one really collects taxes!
Really no one served!
All the fruits of labor belong to you!
For many people, this is a dreamlike scene, which may not even dare to be imagined in their dreams.

The direct effect is that Zhong Ming's reputation has reached its peak in the old five provinces, and praises such as "Mingjun", "Saint", "Living God", and "Savior" are endless.

The number of true believers increased by 400%, pious believers increased by [-]%, fanatics increased by half, and daily divine power income increased by [-]% to [-] million points.

With enough food and clothing, as well as the gift points obtained from prayers converted into silver coins, as well as the wages for road construction and work in the first half of the year, as well as the salaries and rewards of army soldiers, the funds flowing in the market reached about 5000 million gold coins.

If the four new provinces are not counted, the current currency circulation in Yaxia is not normal, but it should be regarded as out of deflation.

But in reality, it can't be seen that way. Nearly [-]% of the newly added currency in the market is contributed by the nobles who were forcibly transferred to the border by themselves and the newly conferred military nobles.

In order to develop their territory and enhance their military strength, they ordered a large amount of agricultural machinery, super crop seeds, weapons and equipment... and other materials from the Yaxia government headed by Zhong Ming.

This money cannot be counted as flowing into the people, but can only be counted as the exchange of resources within the ruling class, and the desire for consumption and production that it can bring is not high.

At least, the seeds of super crops were finally sold by Zhong Ming, who patted his chest and personally ensured the production.

It also comes with a series of intensive cultivation techniques including crop rotation, fertilization, straw returning, green manure plants (planting leguminous plants in summer and winter).

Otherwise, Zhong Ming is afraid that these crops will absorb the soil too hard, and they will not be able to survive the graduation of earth-type wizards into the labor market and the maturity of chemical fertilizer technology.

I believe that with the bumper harvest of these nobles' private lands, under the role of example, the comprehensive promotion of these super crops will be much smoother in the future.

"Being on the pole is not a business." "You won't cherish what you get easily." Zhong Ming still understands this truth.

Therefore, the actual currency in effective circulation is less than 3000 million. If the new four provinces are added, the currency tightening will be conspicuous.

By the end of autumn, Yaxia's trade deficit this year had reached almost 1000 million gold coins, all of which were used to import food.This is still the case when only arms can be exchanged for supplies recently.

But it was nothing, Zhong Ming didn't have much in his hands, only gold and silver.

After receiving Zhong Ming's technical support and bank loans, textile factories were also built. As far as Chang'an City is concerned, at least [-] jobs have been accommodated.

With the construction of the new Chang'an City, the construction industry has also developed significantly. With the support of steel bars and cement, the new and magnificent giant city is showing its style at a rapid pace.

People with spare money are naturally willing to live in a better place.

Transportation, construction, decoration, furniture... The entire market in Chang'an City became active, and countless large and small companies flocked to appear.

Of course, with the emergence of steel mills and primitive machine tools, some industries have also been impacted, such as blacksmith shops, which have closed down 22 this month.

The blacksmiths who couldn't hold on had no choice but to join the steel factory as a worker who received a monthly salary.Fortunately, according to Zhong Ming's rank-level salary system, the income of these people generally increases instead of decreases.

Household textile and tailor shops have also been hit hard. Faced with the standardized, large-scale, and low-cost factory production model, countless housewives have to enter the factory to become female textile workers.

Ordinary tailor shops have closed down one after another, and only a few luxury tailor shops are still struggling.

There are also many bold citizens who choose to sell the land near Chang'an City, or get compensation for the demolition and reconstruction, or simply go to the Yaxia National Bank to borrow a sum of money, and start some in the surrounding cities with relatively low land prices. small factory.

The working class has already accounted for nearly [-]% of the population of Chang'an City.

Smarter citizens began to think of ways to let their children learn to read or enter a factory to learn a craft, so that they could earn a middle-class income in the city no matter how bad they were.

In short, before the arrival of winter, the old five provinces were barely on the right track of development, and the new four provinces also settled down.

Zhong Ming also received more than one piece of good news.

"What, are you pregnant?"
