"My lord, do you want to send troops to destroy Iran Hill first...... Get back the skills and craftsmen there......" The other officer leaned over Zorn's side and suggested harshly.

Zorn smiled and waved his hand, and said, "That small country is not worth our attack so early. Anyway, he has to pay 50,000 gold coins every year, can he still run away? ”

"Be a man, don't be petty, when you see something good from others, you immediately want to grab it." He looked at his subordinate from the corner of his eye, and seemed to have the intention to cultivate: "You have to look at the long run!" Think about the impact of your choice. ”

As he spoke, he patted the subordinate on the shoulder twice with his hand: "It is also a matter of course for someone as cooperative as the Grand Duke of Iran Hill to keep him there for a few years. After all, there aren't many acquaintances like him now. ”

"First, set an example for the other lords, let them know that obedient people, we, the Arrant Empire, can give them a little benefit." When Zorn said this, there was a sense of pleasure in his heart: "Second, if someone else offers treasures, you will rob other people's family business, what will happen to our reputation?" ”

"I see, sir." The subordinate bowed his head and looked like he had been taught. For people like him, sometimes revealing his stupidity to bring out his adult cleverness is also a very useful sycophant technique: "Then let's forget it?" ”

"When we get back from the south, we'll find another reason to find Iran Hill's bad luck." Zorn said very confidently: "When the time comes, 100,000 troops and 1,000 cannons, let that Grand Duke of Elanhill see what is the foundation of a great country!" ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" This time, the sycophant was in place, and the subordinate took two steps back and followed behind General Zorn.

……

"It's really an industrial heritage." Looking at everything in front of him, Desel said to his entourage with a little crying and laughing.

He came this time to make things go more smoothly in the occupation of the fort by Iran Hill - in fact, there is no secret, nothing more than sending things.

"Slow down, slow down! There's something for everyone! Everybody has it! An official in charge of comforting the civilians of Tubao was shouting loudly in the crowd at this moment.

And under his feet, there is a pile of cloth from Iran Hill. Every resident of the earthen fort can receive such cloth as long as they have received the documents of Ellan Hill, without any exceptions.

At the same time, all sorts of small things were distributed, such as soap from Ellenhill's workshop, and matches from Mayne's factory—all of which were converted into pensions and distributed to every dweller of the bunker.

The wounds of war healed quickly, and every Tubun was accustomed to it. There is some friction between the earthen fort and the steppe empire every year, and every year a group of cavalry dies in the earthen fort.

Because of this, the troops of Irlanhill, who did not burn and loot after occupying the earthen fort, were not ostracized by the people of the earthen fort, and life continued, and no one paid attention to the black golden eagle banner of Iran Hill raised on the top of the castle.

"Do I have that too? Please, do I have that too? A woman waved her Iran Hill family registration credential in her hand and staggered through the crowd.

Beside her, an old woman pushed the woman in disgust, and scolded unhappily: "Get out, your husband was killed by the soldiers of Iran Hill, how can you still have the face to receive something from others?" ”

The woman's face was full of sorrow and pleading, but it was drowned out by the noise and shouting. However, she still stubbornly held her household registration certificate high, and seemed unwilling to leave like this.

"Let the guards keep order here! and the woman shall give in abundance. Desel instructed the guards around him, and pointed to the women who were helpless and struggling in the crowd: "Let them line up!" Don't be so messy! ”

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers from Iran Hill joined the crowd of pushers, and seeing these soldiers wearing long swords arrive, all of them subconsciously stopped crowding. In a short time, a long line was formed, and the scene suddenly returned to order.

Because of the relationship of order, every household registration holder can receive the goods that belong to them. There are once stamped and formed utensils, and there are all kinds of small objects...... Everyone had a smile on their faces as they left, as if it wasn't a bad thing for them to call Ran Hill.

Before, the life of mortals was very difficult. Because the earthen fort also had to pay taxes, the people here were also exploited. Now, they have a new life, which makes them very satisfied.

People are sometimes like this, and when life becomes very difficult, a box of matches, a bar of soap, and a simple little mirror will make them happy.

And for Iran Hill, these produced things are so cheap that they make people want to cry. It is much more effective to exchange these things for the support of the people than to issue silver and gold coins.

Not to mention...... Desel also knew that Chris would still have to send coins in the future. It seems that every civilian in Ellan Hill will receive a war benefit of 1 silver coin after winning the war. It seems like a rule, a rule that is quite a headache.

The population of Irlanhill is not small, because of the annexation of the earthen forts, their population base has now exceeded 500,000. If you include the homeless people attracted by food and other benefits, the population is even approaching one million.

With so many people, every time they win a war, they have to share a dividend...... It is estimated that if you win again, you may have to divide 100,000 gold coins. It's not that Deser thinks it's a lot to buy people's hearts with 100,000 gold coins, but what he's afraid of is that he won't have money to give when the population exceeds 10 million or even 100 million......

"5 meters of cloth per person! This Grand Duke of Iran Hill is really generous......" An old man walked out of the crowd excitedly with a roll of gray fabric on his face.

I heard that there are countless job opportunities in the Duchy of Irlanhill, and the people will not go hungry, and there used to be a lord who controlled the migration, but now that the lord is dead, no one cares about this kind of thing anymore. If you try your luck in Irlanhill, you might even find a bowl of rice to eat......

Everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, and those families who have lost their husbands and sons have become better at talking because of the unexpected compensation. The so-called cannibalistic hands are short, and after taking Chris's money, people subconsciously transferred their hatred to the ignorant lord Dombran who resisted Iran Hill.

Anyway, people are dead, so there is nothing anyone can do to vent their hatred, and everything will become useless. These small territorial castles had no concept of a country in the first place, and they had been in a state of forced division for a long time, so it was only a matter of time before they were reunited by Iran Hill.

"If we continue to fight like this, our expenses will be really less." Although almost 100,000 gold coins were distributed, Desail calculated casually that in the past year, the coal mines and steel purchased from Tubao were worth almost 150,000 gold coins.

The money, which had been earned by Dombrand's clever name, had now flown back to the vault of Ellanhill as if it had grown wings: most of the gold coins that had been taken by Dombrand's pit were piled up in the castle vault of the earthen fort.

As a result, Dombran was unexpectedly killed in the course of the battle, and the gold coins of the earth fort were returned to Chris's pocket - because Chris's advance was too fast, and the troops of the two territories of North County and Hanhai could not be assembled, the earth fort died.

Chris also broke his own annexation speed record this time: before the other party's allies could support him, he took a territory. Such an attack speed seems to have never been seen in the history of mortal warfare.

"Don't worry, we've sent messengers...... If nothing else, the timid and fearful North County is estimated to surrender this time. Desel looked at the woman in the distance who was leaving with a cloth and other things, and the smile on her face could not be hidden.

The woman's husband died at the hands of Irlanhill's grenadiers, but she had little hatred for Irranhill who fell from the sky. If Iran Hill can quickly accumulate his own territory in this way, then this principality will soon have the strength to compete with other empires.

Deser knew the lords of the North County and had a lot of dealings with them when they were doing business. What kind of virtue the other party is, Deser is very clear. That's really a strange thing that comes and goes, and it depends on the ability to survive until now by being obedient.

As long as you don't move his position, he will agree to whatever you say to him...... That's how powerful the Lord of the North County is. Because of this, this lord is nicknamed "Lord with the Wind".

However, this Windswept Lord's good days may be over the end - as Grand Duke of Iran Hill, Chris wants absolute control over the North County, so it is unlikely that this Windswept Lord will be given another chance.

When the Elanhill grenadiers arrived, it was estimated that the lord would not even have a chance to escape, so he could only be captured and handed over his territory.

Thinking of this, Desel stood up and turned to leave the distribution point where the consolation was distributed. As he walked, he thought to himself, "Finally! In the end, there is only one Hanhai left, and the surrounding territories will all fall under the rule of my Iran Hill! ”
