Nios accepted the paperwork from the girl with a blank expression, and said, "I have discussed with the Queen that the next work will focus on economic development, and all laws and measures must be centered on this."

"Follow your order." Fatty sat closer to him and nodded in agreement.

"All decrees must be signed by the queen, and then I will issue them. Then Owen will be responsible for announcing them downward and organizing their implementation." Neos said, looking at the fat man.

The fat man nodded: "It's like winter."

"Yes, basically there won't be much change."

Neos said, looking at Turner: "Then Turner is responsible for supervising and punishing those who violate the decree."

"Understood," Turner said.

"Very well, then what is in front of you is the decree we will implement."

Nios picked up the papyrus on the table and raised it, "I'll explain it in detail next, and after you memorize it, you must convey the same meaning and content without any mistakes."

Everyone agreed, picked up a large stack of straw paper in front of them and looked at it.

"First of all, household registration. During the distribution of food in winter, I have asked for strict statistics on the information of every household in the city." Neos said while staring at the fat man.

"We have all counted the number of people in the city, the number of households, boys, girls, children, and slave farmers, all of which have been recorded in the books." Fatty said.

"Very well, then the first decree, every household, if there is an adult man recorded, then it must be forced to live separately."

Neos tapped the first page with his index finger, and there was a thud: "If there are two or more adult men who do not separate their households, their taxes will be doubled. After the households are divided, taxes will be collected on a household-by-household basis." .”

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay with their companions, with doubts on their faces, and hesitated to speak.

Aniya sat beside her, and couldn't help frowning, thinking about the reason why the master made this decision.

Nios glanced at the girl and explained: "After doing this, the young man will leave his family, and naturally he will not idle around in order to make a living.

At the same time, over time, it will also produce a large number of military personnel and taxpayers for us. "

"But what if they just want to be idle, aren't they just like those idle warriors before?" Someone asked. ,

"So this will involve the subsequent government orders. We must use all methods to force..."

Neos paused and considered for a moment: "... Coax them to farm."

As he said that, he pulled out the second piece of paper and pointed it at everyone, and everyone followed him and looked at the next page.

"Food as the key link?" Turner couldn't help but read the big characters at the top.

"Well, this is the focus of our future work!"

Nios said seriously: "Food is the most important thing, so we must vigorously develop agriculture,

And not only from agriculture, but also from the aspects of politics and law, government, taxation and civil education! "

Aniya flipped through the regulations at the back, and gradually realized that what the master said was true, and even went too far.

From an overall perspective, what is written on this thick stack of paper involves everything from politics and law to government and taxation, and even civil education is included.

The various governance methods that are meticulous, rigorous, and exhaustive are only to ensure the sound development of the agricultural economy.

The sound of turning pages was endless, and everyone had no time to ask questions, but looked at each regulation carefully with serious expressions.

Occasionally, Nios will explain aloud when there is a questioner.

"For example, the purpose of abolishing the slave trade is to allow landowners to no longer use cheap slaves, but to hire ordinary people so that scattered people have the opportunity to work;

The abolition of lending and lending and the prohibition of sensual entertainment are not only to crack down on bad business practices, but also to force those people to work in person and concentrate on farming. "

"But do we have so much land for them to farm?" Ania asked.

Nios turned to look at her and said with a smile: "So we should encourage them to go out of the city to open up wasteland and build new settlements outside the city.

For example, in the decree, private ownership of the open wasteland is allowed, and newly established towns can also be exempted from taxes for a certain period of time after the establishment of the village with the consent of the queen. "

Anya understood.

"As for the implementation of these decrees, just like the previous three months, they will be announced in the square first, and then you will..."

Neos pointed to Fatty's group: "...every household is notified."

The fat man nodded: "Understood."

"And then if there are people who don't comply or violate,"

Neos turned to look at Turner: "It's still the same as before, the practice of sitting together, and punishing the family together."

"Yes." Turner agreed.

Nios gave orders in detail, and there was silence in the conference hall. Everyone looked serious and answered him honestly.

Finally, when everything was arranged, it was already noon, and this little state machine was always ready to go.

"But... there is still a problem." Turner raised his hand at the end, his face uncertain.

"Say." Neos raised his chin.

"Of course I believe in your decision, my lord, and I also believe that these orders will continue. As long as they are implemented properly, this city will definitely develop rapidly..."

Turner hesitated for a moment, raised his head, and frowned: "But the Romans will not give us time to develop."

The hall fell silent in an instant, and the civil servants looked at each other, and their expressions became uneasy.

Neos raised his eyebrows: "You think I can't think of this?"

"But..." Turner wanted to say more, but the fat man tugged on his sleeve as a reminder.

Turner was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looked down at him, then turned to look at Neos.

But the silver-haired man narrowed his eyes, staring at him with a needle-like gaze, as if a needle was poking his skin, and a pimple appeared on his back.

The extremely menacing eyes shocked everything, and everyone present felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in their back, like a thorn in their throat.

Turner shut up, said "Sorry" in a low voice, and sat down with his head down.

The audience fell into an awkward silence.

Even Anya didn't dare to pant loudly, she huddled weakly on the seat, pretending she didn't exist.

Turner couldn't bear it anymore, picked up a stack of papers, put it in front of his face, and whispered softly: "Is he still looking at me?"

The corner of the fat man's mouth twitched and he nodded.

Turner buried his face deeper.

After a long time, Neos looked away, "In short, everyone should do less and do more, and then leave the rest to me."

"Yes Yes......"

"understand......"

Everyone nodded again and again, and there were uneven promises.

"As for Rome... I believe that our Governor Paulinus will definitely give us enough time, and he must."

Nios stood up and looked out the door: "Because I will make him an offer that cannot be refused."

Chapter 92 Chapter 91 English Longbowmen

After the meeting was over and everything was arranged, Anya was placed under Fatty's subordinates to learn and train government affairs.

Nios took Fei to the martial field in the outskirts of the city.

The sky was bright and clear, and the wind and sand were blowing. From a distance, Issini's flag could be seen fluttering with the wind.

It used to be the camp of the Roman legion, and was converted into the residence and training ground of the city guard by Nios.

Queen Boudica is here today to inspect her army.

The two of Nios approached, only to hear a scream in the air, shrill and decisive!

The feathered arrow pierced through the air, and slammed into the cowhide chopping target a hundred steps away.

Boudica applauded from the stage, followed by thousands of warriors.

Then when she saw someone coming from the gate of Daying, she suddenly showed surprise and stepped forward to hug.

Neos was still a little uncomfortable with this warm greeting, his body froze slightly, and after being hugged, he pushed away without a trace and saluted.

"Greetings, Your Lady Queen."

Fei also bowed behind.

Boudica gave a "cut", and brushed his red hair, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Neos didn't care, and stood beside her, looking at the arrows on the chopping target: "Are you satisfied with these bows and arrows?"

"It's okay, it doesn't feel any different from what I used before." Boudica said in a cold tone.

"You can try to draw the arrow." Neos smiled.

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand lightly, asking the warrior to lift the target over.

The warrior rushed over and brought the target to Boudica.

Boudica sized it up and carefully looked at the round target that was hit by the arrow, only to find that there was not only one layer of cowhide on the target, but five layers of cowhide tightly stitched together.

But even so, the sharp arrow still pierced through at one time, penetrating halfway.

Boudica looked a little more serious.

He turned his head to look at the burly archer standing upright, and looked at the longbow in his hand, which was almost as tall as a man.

Celtic warriors grew up in the mountains and forests and hunted for a living. When there was no war, they had more contact with bows than swords.

So almost every samurai can shoot a good bow when he draws it out.

Boudica was no exception, so he naturally knew what such a penetrating effect meant.

Pursing her lips, she glanced at Neos, and seeing that he was still smiling, she snorted softly, stepped forward to grab the cowhide with one hand, held the arrow body tightly with the other, and pulled it out with a little force.

The arrow was not pulled out, Boudica was surprised, so he shook his hand, then clenched it again, separated his feet, and pulled out with all his strength from the feet.

As a result, the hand was released instead, the tiger's mouth and the palm were red, and the huge friction made her feel a little pain.
