Allen is still more concerned about the lack of war horses among the soldiers in the territory, and in the era of cold weapons like the mainland, the combat power of cavalry is always much stronger than that of infantry.

The south of the continent is not like the grasslands in the north where horses can be raised on a large scale, and there are very few places in the south where horses can be raised, and most of them are mainly small pastures, which also leads to most of the noble territories being infantry-based, of course, this is also related to the strength of the warriors.

Alan can only curse Viscount Bernard now and return defeated, the entire Musen Territory has suffered heavy losses, plus Curit is dead at that time, and the barons have suffered heavy losses by then, so naturally no one can stop Alan from snatching the horses of the Iron Lord.

Although it seems a little unkind to do this, the people who can become nobles are basically not good people, and it is common to oppress the people and kill serfs at will... Alan knew that he was one of them, but at least he would not exploit the lords and serfs at will, and he was lenient to the lords in his territory.

If you think a little worse, if Viscount Bernard dies, then the viscounty will no longer be able to suppress the barons below, this is also the opportunity that Alan has been waiting for, Alan will have the idea of intercepting Viscount Bernard from time to time, but Alan did not act rashly.

After all, although Viscount Bernard is no longer at his peak, he has rich combat experience, and if he misses a blow and misses, Allen will not only become the enemy of the Musen Lord, but will also leave behind an indelible stain on killing the feudal lord - such an indelible stain, this kind of price Allen can't afford it, so he gave up this tempting idea .......

Put aside the matter of the war horse for the time being, if Mu Sen leads the battle and loses the battle, he can pocket the iron and stone war horse without spending a penny, and if the battle is won, then Alan will have to spend money to buy it.

............

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the Qinghuang Collar began to operate in an orderly manner under the management of the Nine Divisions, the Health Department, the Security Department, and the establishment of sub-offices in each village, and the security environment of the territory has been greatly improved.

The Industrial Construction Department is carrying out a series of construction plans such as the street widening plan of Qinghuang Town and the unblocking plan of water canals in various villages.

The Household Registration Office is re-surveying the land area, sorting out the household registers of the villages, the Finance Department is developing steadily, and the Religious Affairs Department is beginning to establish the first school in the territory, and it will not take long for teaching to take place.

The Criminal Law Division compiled and summarized the legal documents given by Allen, and finally issued the first territorial regulations, which Allen named the "Green Wilderness Law", although it still needs to be improved.

In order to promote the "Qinghuang Law" to the whole territory, Allen summoned the heads of each village and asked them to take the lead in publicizing it in the village.

At this time, Alan was no longer in the castle to deal with territorial affairs, and he was rushing to the army logistics bureau, because with the efforts of a large number of craftsmen in the weapons research branch of the logistics bureau, the first crossbow in the other world was born in the green wilderness territory.

"Lord Baron!" Newman saluted Alan when he saw Alan coming.

"Lord Baron......" shouted a group of craftsmen behind Newman.

"Okay! Quick! What about the crossbow?" Alan said anxiously, this is a long-range strike weapon on the battlefield, who doesn't want to have a sneak peek.

"Here!" Newman quickly grabbed the crossbow from the crowd.

Alan took it with both hands.

I saw that this crossbow was pitch black, brushed with a moisture-proof paint, the length of the bow arm was about one meter, the whole body was made of Zhe wood, the bow arm was pasted with sheep's horns, the unknown beast tendons were attached to the outside of the bow arm, the trigger made of sheep's horns, and the arrow groove made of bauhinia wood were bonded by fish glue, a natural killing weapon.

Alan held the black crossbow and loved it.

"Where's the crossbow arrows, I'm going to test it!" Alan couldn't wait to test the power of this guy.

"Lord Baron, due to the time constraints and the difficulty of making crossbow arrows, there are only ten arrows. Newman reminded.

Alan looked at the arrows that Newman handed over, diamond-shaped iron arrowheads, and arrow shafts made of birch, all black and radiating this metallic luster.

Alan slowly lowered an arrow into the arrow slot, pulled the flexible crossbow string and hung it on the hook, held the trigger in his hand, lifted the crossbow slightly, and pulled the trigger.

Listening to the sound of "whoosh", the arrow flew out of the string, like a black lightning, piercing the air, hitting the big tree 100 meters away, and hitting the trunk fiercely, and the leaves on the tree fell one after another.

"Good!" Alan laughed, pleased with the crossbow's power.

The others cheered as well.

Newman and the others were also surprised by the power of the crossbow, and when they saw the baron laughing happily, they also echoed it.

In order to test the actual killing range of this crossbow, Allen conducted many experiments later, and finally measured that this crossbow arrow can reach a maximum distance of 250 meters, effectively killing unarmored soldiers within 200 meters, leather armored soldiers within 150 meters, and ironclad soldiers within 100 meters.

In other words, this crossbow can threaten low-level knights with armor within 100 meters, but middle-level knights can protect knights due to their ability to attach elements, and the power of the crossbow will be weakened.

After waving off the other craftsmen, Alan gave the crossbow to Newman.

"Newman's crossbow must not be leaked!" Alan solemnly warned Newman.

"Don't worry, Lord Baron, I am the only one who knows all the drawings for the crossbow, and the other craftsmen only know a small part of them, and I am in my own hands on the important parts. And this is only the first generation of crossbows, and it will be improved through drawings in the future. Newman replied.

"Well, the heart of defense is indispensable!"

"By the way, since this first-generation crossbow has been successfully studied, hurry up and make a batch for the territory warriors to practice, let's call them Qinghuang crossbows!" Allen reminded.

"Yes, Lord Baron!"

"Since your weapons research bureau has researched the crossbow, the reward is indispensable, and Barton will only go to the finance department and the official office, Newman, your salary will be doubled, and the other craftsmen's income will be increased by thirty. "Alan generously rewarded.

"Yes!" replied Barton behind him.

"Thank you, Lord Baron, for the reward!" Newman's face flushed with excitement, and his rough hands kept shaking.

In fact, Newman doesn't pay much attention to rewards, but the Baron's reward for himself and others is the recognition of his research results, can he not be excited! The Baron's appointment of him as deputy director is a trust in him Newman, if he doesn't complete the task assigned by the Baron, then what face does he have to face the Baron.
