Lord of the North

In Jason's view, the superiors do not need to hold power tightly in their hands, and even have to do everything by themselves. In history, there are not a few famous ministers and emperors who died due to hard work.

　　 He doesn't think that after awakening the extraordinary power, his body will become iron-struck.

　　 Extraordinary and powerful people also feel tired, sometimes when they are exhausted, and sometimes when they reach their limits, so in his opinion, mastering the arts of mankind is much more important than keeping a close eye on those rights.

　　 Of course, so far, Jason's art of maneuvering is not mature, and he relies more on the loyalty of Lancelot and others.

　　 In places that Lancelot and others cannot manage, he will put two people from different camps together to restrain each other, but this method is actually effective.

　　 So Jason's road to go and everything to learn is far from enough.

　　 Only now he pays more attention to the civilians in the farmland and the soldiers in the barracks.

　　 With the support of the people, some of its own policies can be carried out steadily and smoothly. With the army, there is no fear of the evil spirit Xiaoxiao from the inside and the enemies from outside.

　　 Therefore, Jason has been using this standard as a principle to manage his territory, and use the interests of the Chamber of Commerce to win over the nobles, while at the same time weakening the nobles' military power.

　　 This makes the noble lords entangled, because they can get a lot of money by following Jason's policy, but after joining Jason's camp, he will be sent by his envoy to control the rights in the territory.

　　Moreover, the law in the iron tooth collar and the nearby territory that has been surrendered to Jason is becoming more and more strict and perfect. The civilians who could be killed in the past are now protected by the law.

　　The most obvious effect of the improvement of this kind of law is that they found that the population in their territory began to gradually increase, mostly refugees from other areas influx, because the north is a relatively stable area in Lopez.

　　Before Lopez ruled the Northland, it was sparsely populated and wild beasts raged everywhere. The only people who can survive here are those Northlanders who are strong and powerful, and are good at hunting.

　　 After Lopez ruled this land, he discovered that the minerals here are very rich, especially the iron ore resources.

　　 At that time, Lopez was not long after the founding of the country, there was not much energy for mining, and the domestic turbulence was surrounded by powerful foreign enemies.

　　 The founding king of Lopez reluctantly gave part of it to some nobles and even businessmen by outsourcing, in exchange for a large amount of materials to stabilize the domestic situation.

　　 has also led to other industries in the north, attracting a large number of businessmen.

　　 So it has been prosperous for a long time. During that time, a lot of wealthy businessmen sprang up in the north, the most prosperous scale is not even weaker than the current Kyle family.

　　 But the good times did not last long. After a few decades, the minerals in the north were gradually depleted. The situation in the Kingdom of Lopez was stable and the military power was unprecedentedly strong, but the country’s treasury was a bit empty due to years of battle.

So these fattened businessmen were targeted. The king at that time found an excuse very casually and squeezed their possessions clean. Even some of the unruly businessmen were used to being by the army. Flattened the house.

　　 The prosperous Northland merchants unexpectedly withdrew from the stage of history in such a dramatic way, and the north has gradually declined since then.

　　 One hundred years later, this place has changed from the original center of the kingdom to a barren and cold place that no one cares about. Only those nobles who are not valued will be entrusted here.

　　 Therefore, the living conditions of the local people can be imagined. Except for such large towns, not having enough food is a common condition for civilians.

　　 It is common to sell their children into the homes of those wealthy people in exchange for pitiful money or even food. In winter, there are not a few people who do not have the money to buy enough charcoal for heating and food and die from freezing and starvation.

As the northernmost territory of Lopez, the iron tooth collar is certainly not in any better condition. It can even be called one of the most difficult territories.

　　Before Jason arrived, the nobles here would never take the lives of civilians to heart, and Sir Oki raised the tax rate to a heinous height.

　　 has caused serious population loss in Tieyaling, and agriculture and the economy have been fragile to the point of collapse at any time.

　　The army is even more vulnerable. Most of them are put together by some farmers and hunters. Their combat effectiveness and cohesion are almost negligible in front of the real army.

　　 And since Jason took over the iron teeth collar, the first move is to abolish the complicated and heavy taxation, re-set the tax rate, and reuse the wealth that Sir Oaky has collected over the years for the construction of the territory.

　　 vigorously support the handicraft industry with Northland characteristics, because he discovered that the nobles in this world pay more attention to land and local specialties, rather than handicrafts that can earn greater profits after simple processing.

Perhaps they think that the construction of the handicraft industry will invest a lot of money, and it is better to spend this money on the construction of the military~www.readwn.com~The Kingdom of Lopez is a martial artist, so in the eyes of the lords, the army is the foundation of their life. .

Afterwards, Jason built water conservancy projects and focused on agriculture. Now the slowly rotating waterwheel and the canals that shuttle through the fields on the outskirts of Tieya Town prove his merits, which has raised his reputation among the civilians in the territory to a terrible level. the height of.

　　 It is not an exaggeration to say that Jason's control in the iron teeth collar has reached a peak.

　　 Here, anyone who talks about Jason will show respect from the heart and respectfully say: "That is our savior."

　　 And Jason's reputation among the civilians has gradually spread to the surrounding territories centered on Iron Tooth Town. They are all sighing why the adult is not his lord, which makes the lord aristocrats very worried.

　　 Because of this, they began to learn that Jason treats his citizens well and attaches great importance to supporting civilian business and agricultural construction. The entire northern province of Lucca has shown a prosperous atmosphere.

　　 Two months later, Jason arrived at the highest point of the castle early, looking out the road to the north through the misty morning light.

　　 He is wearing a thick robe, even if it is almost through the spring, the morning in the north is still a bit cool.

　　 He received information last night that Lan Mulok had escorted the Qingxinshi brought back by the ice sheet out of the bitter ice sheet, and Hassan stood quietly behind him.

On the town square in the distance, a group of carriages waited quietly. It was the caravan of the Kyle Family Chamber of Commerce. They had already arrived half a month ago because the Qingxin Quarry trade would bring them tens of thousands. Profit of gold coins.
