“...... Earl~Earl, the amount of arable land and fertility in our village are medium in Tiniets, but since the old man named Scott sent the village chief (civil affairs officer) in the spring of the previous year, the village chief took us to start using the "manure" agricultural technology, so last year's winter wheat yield increased by 30%. This year, we continued to use manure with the village chief, and all the wheat fields in the village were used with manure and weeds to increase soil fertility, so that we can have the wheat that is growing well now. ”

In a village in the county of Tignats, a farmer is reporting the situation of the wheat fields in the village to Lord Arte, Earl of Wells, who has come to inspect the people. The farmer was obviously knowledgeable and courageous, so he was able to speak very well.

Art was also very satisfied, and all the two bronze fennigs fell into the hands of the farmer, who was very grateful.

It has been five years since Yat introduced the "manure agricultural technique" at the border post in the name of "religious relics", and now the rotation, seed selection, and manure have become the basic agricultural improvement techniques in the farmland of Wales Province, and even the villages in the southern basin that have just been conquered have been sent to the cantonment department to teach and guide the improvement of agricultural technology.

As an autonomous Earl Province, Wales has begun to outpace most of its contemporaries, and agricultural prosperity is just around the corner.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lord Arte Wood Wells, military vice-lieutenant of the court of the Princes of Burgundy, Earl of Wales and commander of the Welsh Legion, also inspected the training of peasants and soldiers in the village.

During the inspection, under the leadership of the village peasant and soldier captain and a retired wounded soldier of a certain regiment of the former Wells Regiment, two standing peasant soldiers (who are also security guards and tax collectors) and five registered peasant soldiers (mainly engaged in agriculture and training in their spare time) demonstrated the operation and management of weapons and armor, and simulated the scene of a small group of enemy attacks and recruits.

Yate visited the soldiers of the peasant corps in the village one by one, and sent them a bountiful harvest of beer, bacon, fruits and vegetables.

Yate stressed that the peasants and soldiers should do a good job in agricultural production, never forget military training, serve the people in peacetime and wartime, sweat for a better life, and contribute to the defense of their homeland.

Yate demanded, first, to do a good job in combat readiness training, hard training in the ability to kill the enemy, instruct the garrison corps to strengthen combat guidance, and give the peasant captain to play the role of a veteran; Second, it is necessary to do a good job in the supply of armaments, ensure that the weapons and armor are sufficient, and instruct the regimental baggage department to reduce the armaments of the soldiers and repair them, so as to enrich the arsenals of peasants and soldiers in various localities; Third, it is necessary to ensure the treatment of peasants and soldiers, do a good job in providing food subsidies and salaries for peasants and soldiers during training and operations, and instruct the government to do a good job in the preferential tax policies and subsidies for peasants and soldiers.

On behalf of all the peasants, the captain of the village peasant soldiers pledged to swear allegiance to the earl, to be both a hard-working farmer and a warrior who is good at fighting, to defend the land for the earl, and to protect the family for relatives and friends......

The inspection ended in a solemn and enthusiastic atmosphere.

That night, a simple but grand banquet was held in the village......

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

All the way to the east, Art led the Earl's Guard led by Ron and more than 30 political officials led by Lynn, the magistrate of Tignatz County, to inspect the village-fort manor along the way, and by the time he entered the territory of Baron Antayas, a full ten days had passed.

Stepping into the territory of Fort Andermatt, a sense of prosperity came to you.

The potholed dirt road came to an abrupt halt here, replaced by smoothed, gravel- or hay-paved carriageways, and simply dug drainage ditches and, in some places, forts.

Soon after the barony's arrival, several wooden houses were newly erected, and some caravans could be seen stopping to rest as they packed up their goods and set off again.

"Baron Antayas is now in a state of magnanimity, and he is under full responsibility for the southern trade routes from the border post through Fort Andermatt into the southern part of the province of Jonah and out of Swabia, and with the smuggling routes he has developed, Baron Antaas now accounts for one-tenth of the total trade of the European merchant houses."

Lynn, the deputy head of the cantonment department who accompanied Yat on horseback, looked at the increasingly prosperous barony of Antayas and continued to sigh: "Thinking that our civil affairs raised food and salary for the army back then, the huge barony of Antaas couldn't make up five thousand pounds of military rations. Look at it now~tsk~Antaas is right, following the Earl, you can not only drink soup but also eat meat. ”

Art smiled, although Lynn's sycophant shot was a little stiff, but the scene in front of him was indeed his masterpiece, and his heart was slightly inflated.

Pacing slowly, Baron Antaas, who received the news of Art's presence in person, quickly rushed towards this side with a welcoming procession......

...........

Thirty or fifty paces apart, Antayas had already jumped off his horse and threw the reins to his entourage, hurrying towards Yat Yi on the road.

"It's too late, please ask the Earl to surrender!!" Before Antaas arrived, he bowed down to Ate and pleaded guilty.

Yate stepped forward half a step forward and lifted Antayas up in vain, "Okay, you and I have been friends for many years, so you don't need these false gifts." I have been traveling for more than ten days, and I am very tired, so I will go to your territory to rest for a few days, and you will accompany me to hunt in the mountains. ”

"I have learned that you are here in Andermatt, and I have vacated the newly renovated Lord's Mansion as your companion. The entire barony, except for the druids who escorted the southern goods to Swabian with their soldiers, and the vassals of the other manors and villages also gathered to greet my lordship. ”

Andermatt stepped forward and took the reins of Art's mount, "Your Excellency, please mount!" ”

Art was not polite, stepped on the horse's pedals, and flew on the horse.

"Brother Ron, Lord Lynn, you all hurry up and get on your horses, Fort Andermatt has prepared delicious food and wine for your distinguished guests."

After signaling to several of the main figures, Antayas turned on his horse and led the team towards Fort Andermatt.

Andermatt Castle, once an impoverished border castle in Tignets, has been transformed by the lord's bulging purse - a low wooden fence with a stone base has been transformed into a stone and clay wall, with towering arrow towers at the four corners of the castle and trenches dug outside the walls.

The thatched huts built haphazardly on the castle were replaced by newly-built wooden huts that were yellow, and the lords, dressed in new clothes, came out of their houses and stood neatly on both sides of the road, taking off their hats and bending over, and respectfully saluting the leader of the group.

Entering the castle, the newly leveled ground has obviously just been swept a few more times, the road leading to the Baron Antayas' mansion is paved with cobblestones, and Antayas' wife and four-year-old daughter are greeted early outside the gate in front of the newly renovated three-story mansion.

The little girl gently lifted the corner of the white skirt with one hand, bowed slightly, and said in a milky voice: "Good day, Lord Earl, I wish Lord Count a thousand years of great achievements~"

It may be that she is not skilled enough in training, the little girl's movements are obviously a little stiff, and her lines are not proficient enough.

But Art was full of smiles, and he stepped forward to take the little girl's little hand, "My lovely little lady, it is my greatest honor to be blessed by you. ”

After delivering the child to Antayas' wife, Art turned to Antayas and asked, "Does Evelyn have a godfather?"

"Not yet."

"Great, if you don't dislike it, let me be the little one's lady?" Yat immediately and Antayas are both for the sake of their children.

Antayas is proud and grateful.

A dinner party after the recognition of relatives was even more lively, and the knights led by Chloe, the Berninen knight, took turns to offer wine to Art......

The next day, it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Art was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

Pushing open the bedroom door, he saw Ron holding several secret letters in his hand to open the fire paint.

"The intelligence is all back?"

"Hawkeye arrived this morning, I just translated it."

"Come in!"
