Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 26 Inspecting the Iris Collar
A group of people went out from the west gate of Iris Town. There were more than [-] people in total. The knights were wearing armor and holding spears. , It is really difficult to go to the place where the road has not been repaired.

Les complained: "Master, this war horse is used to walking where roads are built, and now it is really inconvenient to walk on this rough road, and its hooves are easy to be injured. It is a pity that it cannot go to the battlefield without being injured by the enemy. "

Although the saddle and stirrups have been invented, the horseshoe has not been invented. This awakened Charles, as if thinking of something, Charles sighed, there are too few blacksmiths in the territory, even if the horseshoe is invented I can't build a few, so I'll go back and ask the blacksmith to try it out and see if it's easy to make horseshoes.

When they arrived at the newly established Baiyangtun, the serfs who had been notified in advance stood on both sides to welcome them. When Charles walked out of the knight order, the serfs knelt down one after another, with expressions of panic on their faces.

Charles was a little helpless. Everyone resisted fertilization, but Charles knew the benefits of this matter. He couldn't help but push it, and it ended up falling on these captured serfs.

After all, it is acceptable for the residents of Iris to make a fuss, but you were captured from the territory of Clivia, and the lord gave you food. You are not grateful to Dade, and dare to ask for it. Are you really a knight whose spear is not sharp?

Donidor, head of Baiyang Village, greeted him.

"How is the construction of the goat village?" Charles got off his horse and said.

"Young master, the houses of the serfs are not as good as they are now. They are barely crowded, so it's not enough to eat and sleep in the open."

"Well, don't slack off, and make sure that every household has a house to live in." Charles looked around, and saw many serfs secretly looking at him, he didn't look like he was being watched like a monkey, "Let them all disperse, You lead me to see the cleared land."

"Yes, master." Donidole turned around, trotted into the crowd, found a few people and whispered a few words, after a while the crowd gradually dispersed, and Donidole trotted back to Charles.

"Master, go this way." Charles followed Donidol to the south, and within a few steps, he saw a large area of ​​neatly arranged farmland.

"The fields are all divided."

"It's all divided up, and the statistical booklet will be sent to the castle tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, remember to take good care of these people so that they can live safely and have food to eat."

"Yes, sir."

Charles looked to the north again. The north was surrounded by mountains, which was not suitable for farming, but suitable for grazing. Charles originally planned to go to Tulip Town to buy some sheep and graze here, not only to provide milk and meat for soldiers.It can also improve the lives of these people.

It's a pity that now Tulip Town has been breached, not to mention that this plan has been stranded, and I still have to worry about whether Earl Violet will come to attack Iris's territory every day.Now that the Infantry Regiment has just been formed and the Knights have just been expanded, they have no combat power at all. When Earl Violet comes to attack, they can only retreat to Iris Castle.

In the afternoon, Shire and his team arrived at the lime processing center. Now there are 140 workers in the lime processing center. Including their wives and children, there are about 400 workers in total. Although the existence of lime may be exposed, the method of making lime is not.The lime processing center is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the knights patrol the south. The lime workers are managed in a closed manner, and not even a mouse can escape.

"Mina, the road from Lime Processing Center to Iris Town is not wide enough, it's too narrow, double the width."

"Yes, sir."

So Charles returned on horseback, took a rough look at Yecaotun and Shitoitun, and focused on Maiden, which was south of Iris Town and north of Tulip Town. If Earl Violet came to attack, Maitun would bear the brunt.

Before entering the village, I saw that the village chief Brent's servant had already led people, standing on both sides, already Shire.They still fell to their knees, but these serfs did not look at him with fear, but curiosity, as if they suddenly met an idol while walking on the road.

Charles followed Brent into the village. The streets were very clean. Although there was an element of face-saving, Charles was still in a good mood. After all, the spirit of the serfs was real. He asked with a smile: "Are the serfs in Maitun enough to eat?"

"Young master, there is black bread to eat every day. The worker's family is working outside. His wife and children are farming. They live a rich life for a year, and they go to the market every month to cut meat and eat it."

Charles did not follow Brent, but wandered around the village. The streets inside were not so clean, which showed that it was Brent's first time doing face-saving work, and he was inexperienced.If it's really clean, it's beyond Shire's expectations. When the crop of soybeans is harvested, everyone will have the benefit of excrement, and street management will be much more convenient.

……

In the study, Charles leaned back on the chair tiredly, hurried and hurried, walked all over the territory in a day, feeling that his whole body was going to fall apart, but at night he had to think about the training method of the Iris Infantry Regiment, Earl Violet was like The sword of Damocles hanging above his head did not know when it would come down.

Now Shire is focusing all his energy on the training of the Iris Infantry Regiment. Even the distillation device, Shire just briefly described it and told the carpenter what it is for, so he threw them aside and let the carpenter After thinking about it, of course there must be incentives. If it can be developed, each person will be rewarded with one gold coin.

At this moment, a cold feeling suddenly came from the temple, and when Charles looked up, it turned out to be her personal maid, Fierna, who had been standing behind him without saying a word, and Charles almost ignored him. Charles closed his eyes, adjusted his lying position, and quietly enjoyed Fierna's massage.

"Master, what should we do if Earl Violet calls? Shall we surrender?" Fierna said weakly.

I wiped out one of his knight orders and beat his brother-in-law, but even if he asked me to surrender, I didn't dare to surrender.But what Shire said was: "There is no surrender in the dictionary of the Iris family. Even if the bloody battle reaches the last moment, I will never surrender."

"But what will Earl Violet do when he calls? Even Earl Tulip has been defeated. Can we resist?"

Because unless Charles goes out to take her with him, she will stay in Iris Town and by his side for the rest of her life, so Charles is not suspicious, "You have also seen that the territory is recruiting soldiers, and it is about to form a thousand-man army." Although the infantry regiment may not be able to defeat Earl Violet, it is more than enough to defend the castle."

Charles's mind was on training again. He had to go into battle in person to let the soldiers know who paid them and who they should be loyal to. The loyalty of the army he created himself was unquestionable.

After everyone is ready, the shoes should be about the same. In the morning, I practice formation, and in the afternoon, I exercise with the knights and polish my martial arts. I can put aside the learning of horseback riding.Earl Violet, you have to enjoy a little longer in Iris Town, and you'd better forget about me.

The knight group - Ndom, Yaden, Zamel, Tolu and fifteen knights, should be back.Charles sent them out to go deep into the hinterland of Tulip, firstly to inquire about news, and secondly to recruit escaped blacksmiths and cobblers.

There were not enough weapons in the castle, so a team of workers had to be conscripted to go to the mountains to cut wood. There were not enough iron spears, so they could only use wooden spears and large shields.It would be great if all the blacksmiths of the Tulip family could be plundered. Alas, I hope Ndom and the others can get more blacksmiths and cobblers back.
