Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 25 Reforming the Military System
"Young master, it's time to get up, aren't you going to inspect the iris territory today?" Fierna Tulip opened the door and walked in, put the washbasin on the chair, walked to Charles and greeted him softly.

Charles opened his dim sleepy eyes, and said with an air of getting out of bed, "No, you tell the servants to prepare breakfast first, and I'll sleep later." After speaking, he covered the cup and hid himself in it.

Ferna seemed to have expected this, and said with a smile: "Master, the kitchen has already prepared breakfast, and the dining table in the hall has also been set. Mr. Mina and Mr. Rice have also arrived."

"That's fine. Next time you greet me, you can be less prepared." Charles said helplessly
Charles was like a quadriplegic patient, letting himself be manipulated and never doing anything himself, but after a while, he finished washing and came into the hall fully dressed.

Mina, Rice bowed first and said, "Master, good morning."

"Administrator Mina, Knight Commander Les, sit down." Charles walked to the main seat, sat down, and said to the personal maid Fierna: "The kitchen is ready to deliver food."

She has been in the Iris territory for ten days. On the first day, the housekeeper Loki took them around the Iris Town, inquiring about her news during the chat, and took the opportunity to hint that the castle was recruiting a maid and had nowhere to go. Fina decided to stay for a while to see what Charles is like, and even had a fight with Milton for this.

"Miss Fina, you are the daughter of Earl Tulip. Even if the Earl dies and Tulip Town is breached, no one can deprive you of the right to inherit the title of Tulip, and no one can deprive the title of Earl Tulip."

Milton blushed and said with humiliation: "How can you be a baron's personal servant? He may even defile you."

"But we've got nowhere to go, have we?"

"After Earl Violet's search is over, we can go to the Eldest Prince."

"Go to the eldest prince, hold the title of an earl, and then be used as a bargaining chip for the eldest prince to marry someone I don't know." Fina looked to the south - Tulip Town, "I have lost my love If I want to rejuvenate my family, I can marry anyone, but I must not be a bargaining chip for the eldest prince, marrying someone who plots for the title of Tulip."

"I only have this title. It is my only bargaining chip. The Tulip family cannot perish. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for my father to send me out."

"Miss!"

"Don't persuade me any more."

……

In the hall, Charles, Mina, and Rice sat on chairs after having breakfast.

"Master, I don't know which village to go to today." Mina asked.

"Let's go to the newly established Baiyangtun first." Charles looked at Mina and said, "Have you planted the Baiyangtun?"

Mina replied: "Master, the plowing is over, and according to what you said, the dung was put in the field."

Mina hesitated to speak, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and said, "Master, this person was pulled out, and then eaten, is it okay?"

"Fertile land is fertile land, and the food grown is another matter." Charles put his hand on his forehead, "I can't explain it to you, don't worry, I won't let you eat it."

Mina, Les breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder the young master reads in the study every day, he is educated, so fertilization means throwing shit into the field, what statistics, processing centers and so on.

If Charles could know what the two of them were thinking, he would definitely have the idea of ​​rushing up and fighting each other, but unfortunately, he didn't know, he said: "Then go north, I'm going to see the lime processing center, Then go to Maimaitun, Yecaotun, Shitoitun, and go through all of these.”

"Master, then one day today may not be enough."

"It's okay." Charles put his gaze on Rice and said, "How is the recruitment of soldiers going?"

"Master, the Knights are fully recruited, and the infantry is short of 300 people."

"Well, the infantry regiment first taught them physical training skills, how to refine fighting spirit, and how to use spears, and horseback riding was also taught by the way." The mounted infantry is also very good, with high mobility.

"Yes, master." Les seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "Master, is the military system of the infantry regiment also in accordance with the knight order, but there are only 9 earth knights in the territory."

The infantry can't be called earth knights after they have cultivated fighting spirit, and those who cultivated fighting spirit are all called earth knights. The difference between earth knights is too far. Charles said: "The current military system is too rough, and the military system must be reformed. , the strength cannot be directly linked to the position in the army."

"Master, wouldn't it be a joke if the squire knights commanded the land knights?"

"No, Les, you didn't understand what I meant. The strength of a soldier is a rigid requirement for a job, but you can't be promoted to captain immediately after becoming an earth knight. You must make military exploits to be promoted."

"Iris Infantry Regiment, a regiment of 1000 people, consists of ten battalions, a battalion commander, and a battalion of [-] people. The battalion has ten squads, a squad leader, and a squad of ten people. At the same time, there are deputy regimental leaders, deputy battalion commanders, and deputy squad leaders. .Except for the deputy squad leader who can be appointed by the squad leader, the rest must be appointed by the superior. The regimental commander and the deputy commander are appointed by me. on top."

"In addition to military positions, military ranks also need to be set. This depends on the strength of the soldiers. If they can lift a hundred catties of stones over their heads, they will be awarded one star, two hundred catties will be two stars, three hundred catties will be three stars, five hundred catties will be three stars A sun can be called a sharp warrior."

"Soldiers' salaries are determined by their rank. One star ranks 1 silver coin per month, two stars ranks 2 silver coins per month, three stars ranks 3 silver coins per month, and one sun ranks 3 silver coins per month." , basically anyone who can lift five hundred catties has cultivated fighting spirit. "

"Yes, sir."

"There are too few people who have cultivated fighting spirit in the territory now. I will temporarily serve as the commander of the regiment. In the future, I will not be able to become the commander of the battalion if my military rank is less than one sun."

"Yes, young master, that military rank is above a sun."

"Can lift 10 catties of stones, wear armor and run for ten miles, and can immediately enter the battlefield. The military rank is two suns called warriors, and [-] silver coins per month"

"Can lift a thousand catties of boulders, wear armor and run for 50 miles, and can immediately enter the battlefield. The military rank is three suns called fighters. [-] silver coins per month"

"Yes, sir."

It's a pity that there are not enough literate people in the territory. Otherwise, each battalion would set up a propaganda branch to let them know that they are fighting to protect their homeland and live a better life. loyalty.

Charles stood up and said, "It's time to inspect the iris territory."

"Yes, master, I'll go and tell the knights to get ready." Since Medill Iris was attacked and died by bandits, Les had a deep self-examination.
