"Let me ask you, when the world is stable and the country is safe and sound, do you still need to produce combat weapons and set up defensive equipment?" Neos didn't turn his head.
Turner frowned for a moment: "Yes!"
"What about you?" Neos looked at Ania.
"Yes." The girl nodded.
"why?"
Turner hesitated, and said: "Because even if we have peace, there will still be enemies outside who want to attack us, and we must always be prepared."
Neos nodded and looked at the girl.
"My reason is similar to that of Lord Turner, but a little more."
Anya said crisply: "That's what I think, if a country is at ease for too long, it will be difficult to deal with the crisis when it comes to danger, leading to extinction."
She paused: "It's like the Celtic tribe on the British island a hundred years ago."
Turner subconsciously looked at the princess with a surprised expression.
"good."
Neos smiled in satisfaction, and then his face suddenly changed: "But it's still not enough!"
The two were stunned.
They all felt that what they said was perfect.
"I've said it before, agriculture is the foundation, why?"
Neos sighed, and pointed to the thousands of farmers begging for food: "Not only because of the economy, but also because of people who are good at governing the country, so the resources used can also be obtained from farming."
Farm?What is farming?Why is it a farmer?
Anya mused.Once again, deepen the emphasis on the word.
"Weapons and defensive equipment for combat can actually be taken from the daily production tools of the people. For example, the Lei (lei) Si (si) that is turned over the soil can be used as obstacles such as thistles; horse-drawn carts and ox carts can be used as forts and shelters; hoes and grass The fork can be used as a spear; the cloth can be used as a battle flag
......
In the event of riots and aggression, farmers working on the land can pick up farm tools and act as soldiers in battle;
Farm tools in daily life can also be turned into weapons to kill the enemy;
......"
Neos paused slightly, giving the two of them time to digest, and then continued.
"At the same time, harvesting grain and firewood in autumn is for preparing for war; storing grain in winter is for long-term persistence in battle.
......
The administrative and law enforcement chiefs in the city can be used as generals in battle; in the spring and autumn seasons, the city walls are built, the canals are repaired, and the canals can be used as camps and ditches in battle.
......"
"So when the world is stable and the country is safe, it is necessary to repair the tools of war and set up defensive equipment."
Neos' tone was neither fast nor slow, but it was like reciting a long string of words, and finally heaved a long sigh, and turned to look at the two.
"In short, the people must be allowed to reclaim farmland, raise livestock, and stabilize their residences.
Let men have a specified number of acres for farming, and let women have a specified length of weaving.
Therefore, farming is the way to make the country rich and strong! "
Turner was dumbfounded.
Anya opened her mouth slightly.
The brain is running fast, thinking about the various arrangements of Neos this winter, as well as the various decrees just issued in the spring, combined with the current words.
So, from the beginning, master, have you thought so far?
"And these, I hope you don't just use them while I'm around."
Neos took a meaningful look at Ania: "I hope that you can make good use of it after I am gone in the future."
I'm not here...
These words fell into her head, and the girl subconsciously looked at him. Under his calm black eyes, her heart was trembling undetectably.
"Take care of your mother, and take care of yourself."
Nios smiled, patted her on the head, waved his sleeves, and walked towards the gate of the arena.
The black crowd parted ways consciously, like Moses splitting the Red Sea.
At the door, a group of people had been waiting for a long time.
Fee was wearing a hood and was leading the pony at the door. From a distance, she saw Neos walking towards her, and Ania on the high platform.
Anya waved to her.
Fee tugged at her hood and nodded.
At the same time, behind her, the horse neighed and stamped.
The horse length spreads long, and there is a convoy of goods on one side.
Nios took the reins from Fey and got on his horse without looking back.
Maybe it seems a bit unfeeling like this, but he feels that he has said everything that should be said, and he has explained what should be explained, so let's say a few words less about the redundant parting words.
Following Neos, Faye whistled hard.
The leader shouted "Go!"
Along the city road, the cavalry and caravans left the city.
Looking at the mighty people and the crowd on both sides of the queue, Turner looked down at the silent girl.
"Why, don't you try to keep him, or go with him?" He asked softly.
Anya shook her head: "This is the master's decision. I already knew it when he suddenly handed over most of the affairs to me and Grandma."
"He also trusts people." Turner sighed.
"No, not because I believe..."
Anya smiled helplessly, and lightly stroked the top of her head, which was the place where Neos had photographed just now: "It's something that the master can probably predict, and at the same time, I have already guessed, something that will happen in the future. "
Turner frowned: "What?"
The girl sighed faintly: "One day, he will leave this small island..."
......
At this moment, hundreds of miles away, under the night sky, the mountain looks like a long snake.
The starry sky was clear again, and the bright moon shone on a flat open space in the valley.
Several carriages set off from Winchester, traveled along the Roman Avenue, stopped and stopped for several days, and finally unloaded and rested here.
Crates of all sorts of goods were unloaded... hides and cloth, tin mines and amphora, and crates of spices and herbs
After Nios ordered to rest, he rode up the hillside and looked at the winding procession below, waiting for the return of the scouts.
Although the main purpose of this trip was hunting, opening up trade routes was also one of his main goals.
After all, although commerce, agriculture, commerce, and commerce are the last industries, commerce taxes account for a lot of them.
This is also the reason why he would personally organize a caravan to support obedient merchants to go out for business, and at the end of winter before, the first batch of merchants had already gone out to do business.
It's just that the first caravan was not large because it coincided with the troubled times on the island, and Gatus and Epos made troubles and looted everywhere.
"My lord, I found them." A flat and short voice came from the side.
Fei rode up to him, clasped his fists and saluted.
"How's the situation?" Neos asked.
"Two thirty people, no injuries, all horses and vehicles." Fei said.
Neos frowned: "Where's the flag?"
“It was the flag of the Trinovent tribe, but it was painted blue and it was only half-raised,” Fey recalls.
"That's right, it's ours." Neos nodded.
They were the first group of caravans to go out at the end of winter, and they belonged to the group of businessmen who didn't intend to be civil servants, but just wanted to do business honestly.
In the eyes of Neos, he is someone who can be wooed.
So not only did they transfer money to them as travel expenses, but also sent a few samurai guards, and at the same time gave them advice, such as hanging the flag of Epos.
But the price is to do something small for the Queen.
"Follow me to have a look." Nios immediately got on his horse, clamped his legs, and rode away.
Fee followed closely behind.
Not long after, there were already a group of people in the camp, and when they identified each other, both sides immediately beamed with joy.
The members of the first caravan even opened the boxes, revealing the commodities and gold coins they had traded.
All of a sudden, everyone felt that this journey was so beautiful that the future could be expected.
But the arrival of Nios made everyone quiet for an instant. Everyone looked at him in silence, retreated silently, and parted ways.
"Don't rest yet, come and tell me everything!" He came to the leader of the caravan, said coldly, then turned and left.
The leader was stunned for a few seconds, his smile was awkward, and then he followed up staggeringly.
......
For a long time, in the tent.
Neos put down the finished report and sighed: "So, the situation is not good."
"Yeah, the quarries around London have turned us down, and the lumberyards too."
The caravan leader stood respectfully in front of the table: "I'm really sorry, I have tried my best, but no matter how high our bid is, they are not willing to sell us stone and wood."
"It has nothing to do with you, you have tried your best, Her Lady Queen will not blame you."
Nios gently encouraged: "After all, in a sense, they may feel that they are at war with us."
