Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 101
Charles gradually liked to dine with Andres, because he found that Andres was a know-it-all, and he had heard everything that happened in Pella City recently.Charles can also learn about the recent events in Pella City by his side.

After the meal, Charles and Andres sat on the chairs and started today's chat.

Andres was the first to speak, "I heard that the envoy of Sukale Principality this time is led by Knight Bernard Valdes."

Seeing the doubts on Charles' face, Andres began to popularize the customs of the Principality of Sukale to Charles.

"The knights of the Sukale Principality still practice chivalry. In the Sukale Principality, knights have a lofty status. No matter which earl it is, you must praise him as a knight. So every one of the entire Sukale Principality A nobleman is a gallant knight, and a man who cannot be a knight cannot even inherit his father's title."

"Oh, so that's it, then this knight Bernard Valdes is a count?"

"Of course, the Valdes family is very valued by the knight king Bliss Hensley of the Principality of Sukale. I heard that the Valdes family has several barons, and there are hundreds of knights under their command. In the entire Sukale The Principality and the Valdes family are all well-known existences.

Cavalier Bernard Valdes has a bold and tough personality, but he has one shortcoming, which is his alcoholism.It is said that if you have precious wine dedicated to Knight Bernard Valdes, then you will gain the precious friendship of the Valdes family. "

Hundreds of knights are already too much for an earl family. Unlike the Principality of Artem, every knight in the Principality of Sukale is equivalent to a small lord, and each is a heavy knight wearing full body armor, but Some horses have no armor.In addition to their retinue, it was a thousand-man light and heavy knight brigade, plus serfs who transferred food and acted as auxiliary soldiers, and in an instant a 5000-man cavalry army came out.

In the battle between the Principality of Sukale and the Principality of Artem, the legions of the Principality of Sukale were all in this form, and the results proved that the strength of this kind of legion was not as strong as the full-time professional legion of the Principality of Artem.Although the number of troops of the Principality of Artem was at a disadvantage in each battle, they were able to win in the end.

Good wine, Ciel remembered that he also brought a few bottles of distilled high-purity ale, which can be used.This kind of high-purity spirits should be fatal poison to bold knights, and after drinking the spirits, drinking the previous wine in the future is like white water, not strong enough.

Maybe it can take advantage of the trend to open up the wine market of the Principality of Sukale.

Charles continued to inquire, "The Valdes family is really prosperous, but I don't know where their family's territory is?"

"The territory of the Valdes family borders on the center of the Holy Empire. It is said that the business of the Valdes family has reached the Principality of Luma."

"Oh, that's right, does the prosperous Luma Principality still need to do business with the Valdez family?" Charles asked pretending not to understand, and a martial artist with only force is undoubtedly the most reassuring.

The eldest prince was also willing to answer, "War horses, all kinds of leather products, and even Western sand people, all kinds of precious small animals, do you know? In the Principality of Luma, a pure white fox can even be sold for dozens of gold coins." Those noble ladies like this kind of white fluffy, cute little animal."

Sand people, is there a vast desert to the west of Sukale?Ciel drew an existing map in his mind.To the north of Iris Collar is the land of the barbarians, to the east is the territory of the Earl of Violet, and to the east is the ocean.

To the south is the territory of Earl Geithner, then the Principality of Luma, and to the west is the territory of the Great Prince and the fief of Earl Rhonda.To the west is the Principality of Sukale, and to the west of the Principality of Sukale is probably the desert.

The center of the Holy Empire is surrounded by the Principality of Artem, the Principality of Sukale and the Principality of Luma.

Instead, he could draw a map of the world with a rough outline, and he didn't have such a map in his hand yet.

Things like maps usually don't come out. The more precise the map, the more impossible it is. Charles only has a map left by Earl Tulip.However, the map is quite old, and some places have changed a long time ago. For example, the border with the Principality of Artem was the fiefdom of the nobles of the Principality of Sukale.

However, His Majesty the current king has won the western expedition, and those territories have returned to the embrace of the Principality of Artem. Under the leadership of the old king Ashuraf, the coalition forces of the Principality of Artem have fought all the way to the territory directly under the royal family of the Duke of Sukale.

After returning, you can send someone to redraw a high-precision map. In this era without GPS positioning, a high-precision map is of great help to war.

His mind turned back to chatting, and Charles followed the words of the eldest prince and praised: "This is really incredible. You must know that the annual tax paid by the iris flower in the past was only a few dozen gold coins, and it was not even worth a small one. fox."

The eldest prince's eyes were full of envy, "The prosperity of the Principality of Luma is really very yearning."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

After chatting with the eldest prince, Charles returned to the bedroom.

Charles sat on the chair, staring at the bare trees outside the window, the dry and wrinkled bark, just like his current situation, life to death, dead wood to spring.My mind went back to the iris collar, and went to the future reform.

The current strength of the Iris Flower Collar is far from that of the Aquinakes family. If they go back and reform immediately, they will undoubtedly seek their own death.

Charles wrote four words on the cardboard, discussing the protracted war.After implementing the reform, facing the attack of the Aquinacos family, Shire planned to fortify the wall and clear the field, lengthen their supply lines, and let them go deep into the iris territory.

There is no need to defeat the army of the Aquinacos family, as long as it can be delayed for a year and a half, the Principality of Luma and the Principality of Sukale will not turn a blind eye.At that time, Charles will have a firm foothold.

Food is an important issue. If the next war is a protracted one, the iris collar must have sufficient food reserves.There is also the grasp of the grassroots. If you want to win this war with great disparity in strength, you must have stronger organizational capabilities.

Shire plans to farm for the next three years, vigorously promote iron farm tools, and open up wasteland near the steel town.Store enough food for the iris collar.

The security team should go deep into the grassroots, at least to the villages, to strengthen the ability to mobilize the grassroots.It just so happened that the last population census was completed, and Shire planned to take the opportunity to launch an ID card. With an ID card, the ability to control the grassroots was strengthened, and spies and spies were less likely to infiltrate.

The horse farm in Mustang Town can be prepared to move eastward properly. In Shire's strategic plan, Mustang Town must be sacrificed, and even Tulip City can be abandoned, but Steel Town must not give up. hopeless.

But Earl Violet is a problem. If Earl Violet takes the opportunity to send troops, then Charles will face the situation of being attacked from both sides.Charles is sure that Earl Violet will definitely send troops.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Earl Case Tulip. Since Earl Violet's attack was unavoidable, he had to be dealt with.Taking advantage of the poor information in the news, before the Aquinacos family could react, they blitzed the Earl of Violet and wiped out the Violet family in order to create a stable rear.At that time, let Earl Violet test the power of the meritorious service system.

With a general idea, Charles' eyes are full of determination. Although this road is very dangerous, it may be discovered by the Aquinax family when it develops. The Kos family was wiped out in one blow.But he came from time travel and received higher education in his previous life. Even if he doesn't leave anything for this world, he still can't come to another world to be a dog.This is Charles' arrogance and also his bottom line.

Charles threw the pen on the table, lay back and leaned on the chair, the front of the chair was tilted up, and Charles' slightly raised feet hooked the table to maintain his balance.

The next step is to win over the Valdez family and the William family, and establish ties with the Principality of Sukale and the Principality of Luma.I hope that this war can be fought. It is best for the Principality of Artem to win a small victory, and the Principality of Sukale and Luma to preserve their strength.

As for how to operate, hasn't the eldest prince already told him?Cavalier Bernard Valdés was addicted to alcohol, and it happened that he had a few bottles of high-purity spirits that had never appeared in this world.

……

Field of irises.

Baron Patel, who had lost a lot of weight, finally returned to the steel town. Looking at the billowing smoke above the steel town, Baron Patel burst into tears.Finally, he finally came back.At last he could eat freshly baked wheat bread and warm broth.

But what he wants to do most is to find a big wooden bucket, boil some hot water, and rub his body clean. During the ten days in the countryside, it was difficult to wash his face, let alone take a bath.

Back home, Baron Patel, under the service of his servants, soaked vigorously in the water for a long time, until the water gradually cooled, and Baron Patel came out of the barrel.

He was greeted with a sumptuous lunch of fatty chicken, mushrooms, pork cutlets in a broth, white bread, and a freshly roasted wild boar leg.

After he was full, Baron Patel did not rest at home. He still had other things to do. He checked how many farm tools the blacksmith had made these days, and reported the situation of the villages near the steel town to Tulip City. Then send it to Shire in Wangcheng by letter.

Baron Petel's news is not that widespread. Obviously, no one will brave the severe cold to pass on what happened in the royal city to him. It is estimated that the news will gradually pass from the royal city to the iris collar after the winter has passed.

Patel walked into the blacksmith shop, and a hot air came, mixed with the smell of charcoal, and the unpleasant smell of sweat.However, Baron Patel has already been tempered. In the countryside, there are livestock at home, and the smell is much worse than this.

"Blacksmith Lalu, what's the situation now?"

Lalu almost couldn't recognize Baron Patel in front of him. Compared to before, Baron Patel became a lot thinner, and the clothes on his body looked very exaggerated, especially the sleeves, which could almost be put down. Hammered.

Putting away the question, Lalu blacksmith replied respectfully: "Baron Patel, things are going very well. The making of agricultural tools is not complicated, and even apprentices can easily make it. It is estimated that all the tools can be made this spring. Iron farm implements.

The forging of the iron tripod is also progressing very quickly. We found that the ductility of fine gold ore is very good. Now we have to overcome the problem of the melting point of different metals. "

Baron Patel looked confused, he could understand the melting point of different metals.He said bluntly: "When will the production of the iron tripod be completed?"

Blacksmith Lalu looked helpless. He knew that the difficulty of popularizing science with Baron Pater was equivalent to playing the piano against a bull. "Lord Baron Pater, if there is no accident, we can build it before Master Shire comes back."

Baron Patel looked happy, "That would be great, I remember that Master Shire often said something, roll up your sleeves and work harder, if you can build the iron tripod before Master Shire comes back, I will go to Master Shire to show you my merits."

Blacksmith Lalu was overjoyed, "Really? Baron Patel."

"of course."

After encouraging Blacksmith Lalu, Baron Patel walked towards the government affairs hall. He wanted to write back to Charles to report the progress of the matter.

During his field trip to the countryside this time, he found that most of the serfs' food reserves were barely enough to survive starvation. If the year was good, they could store some food in about three years to deal with disasters.

For this reason, even if the serfs had enough food in store, they would not be full at ordinary times.

There is also the gratifying progress of the blacksmith shop and the construction progress of the steel town. For some reason, he wrote the story of the young hunter by the way, as a daily sharing, and shortened the distance with Shire.

The letter was stuffed into an envelope and sealed with beeswax. Baron Patel called his servants and told him to send some knights to Tulip City.

Now in the territory of Iris, due to frequent drills and marches, the road from Steel Town to Tulip City is very safe, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Baron Patel's letter, Sorel's letter, Mr. Barron's letter, and his own summary were sent to Pella City.This time it was specially escorted by a squad of knights.

Just as the letter was being sent to Pella City, Charles also started to walk out of the eldest prince's manor these days.

Inside the study of Andres Manor.

Two candles stood at the two corners of the desk, interlaced shadows fell behind the wall, and the face with clear light and shadow was somewhat sinister and vicious.

"What has Charles been up to lately?"

"Your Highness, I heard that Earl Charles ordered a few gold wine bottles at the goldsmith's shop, and then bought a shop in Timdor Square."

The knight commander was hidden in the shadows, only a rough outline.

"Hehehe, it's really interesting." After a while, Andres put away his smile, "Where are my two younger brothers, what are they doing?"

"The second prince has been attending the banquet, and the third prince often goes to the castle to meet the queen."

"Oh, yes, check again, it can't be that simple."

"Yes!"
