In mid-April, the snow melts. When the sun is warm, everything recovers.

After nearly a month of intense work, the ploughed land in the lowlands of the hills of Wales has been planted. The moisture in the soil rises in a mist from the sunlight and envelops the fields. As the temperature gradually rises, the malt has also begun to break through the soil.

With the gradual spread of the manure method throughout Wales, the land illuminated by God's light will be more abundant than ever before.

As Yate had previously told the vassals of the valley, officials from the Ministry of Government Affairs went to various parts of the province to promote the manure method to the vassals. In addition, some church members also went with them. They claimed that it was blessed by God and brought to earth by the Earl of Wales, and that it was not heresy. As long as you are a faithful believer of God, you should believe in God's messenger to the earth. Once cultivated in this way, even the most barren land can be harvested in the following year.

Given Arte's prestige in Wales, and the support of the Church, this method, which was not understood by the majority of the people, was gradually embraced by farmers who used traditional farming methods.

In addition, after seeing the benefits of this method, the people of the villages in the valley and several of the territories directly under the Yate are now willing to accept God's blessing and use the manure method to cultivate the land.

Last autumn, fertilized land more than doubled its grain output compared to previous years. And the wheat kernels are fuller and have a more delicate taste. This change directly strengthened the determination of the people who had previously cultivated their land by the manure method to continue to use this method of cultivation in the future. In this way, not only can the stomach of the family be fed, but also the surplus grain can be exchanged for equivalent coins to the Ministry of Tunning every year to subsidize the family.

After Yat became lord of Tignets and the valley, a barren land that had been neglected by the world for decades was gradually revitalized. Now, whether it is agricultural implements or livestock for farming, Wales has almost the same conditions as the rest of the country. The natural disadvantages of the land were also compensated for by the promotion of the manure method. Once Tignez and the valley as a whole are fully exploited and their potential is exploited, it will become a new fertile land and a livable home for the Princedom of Burgundy.

But all this must be done in a peaceful and peaceful environment.

In view of the current internal and external environment, Yate made a special trip to gather a group of officials from the government office to arrange the main tasks of the government government after the beginning of spring this year, and to listen to their reasonable suggestions on the future construction of Wales Province.

On either side of the long table in the lord's hall on the first floor of the valley wooden fort, as usual, high-ranking officials from the provincial government of Wales were seated. Sitting at the head of the hall, Yat nodded from time to time in response to the officials' suggestions for the future construction of the province of Wales.

"My lord, I think that while the wasteland is being reclaimed, it is better to first divide the cultivated land among some of the lords. When the time comes for the grain to be harvested, they can use part of the grain to offset their taxes. This will not only motivate them, but also maximize the use of the land."

Scott, who sat at the front of Art's left-hand side, was gushing his advice.

"Since these exiles are willing to join us and become the Welsh Consulates under your name, we owe it to them to see hope. The best way to do this is to allocate land according to the order in which they came in and how well they did in the reclamation. With the land, they can stay in the valley with peace of mind. ”

Scott, who had been in charge of the valley's operations, now had a better grasp of the psychology of these homeless people. First, it comes from his own background. Scott was left in the wilderness with his wife and two children, and almost starved to death. If Art hadn't brought the family back to the valley, I'm afraid they would have become a feast for the mouths of the beasts of the mountains. It was with the land that the family was able to settle down in the valley. By now, this family can be regarded as a prominent family in the valley. Like the Scott family, these homeless people crave nothing more than land.

Second, as a cantonment officer, Scott came into contact with mostly homeless farmers and bankrupt and unemployed citizens. The more I deal with them, the more I understand what is on their minds. These people don't have any hearts, as long as they have land to plant, they don't go hungry, and they can do anything. On the contrary, if there is no hope, these people can also mix day by day. Human nature is like this, and Scott knows what it means.

Art leaned his arms over his head and listened attentively. When Scott was done, he said, "That's a good idea. When you go back, compile these thoughts into a document and show it to me. Once I've reviewed it and found it feasible, I'll leave the details to you. You can grasp the specific scale yourself. ”

"Yes, sir," Scott smiled. Excited that his suggestion was adopted, he glanced at Cooper, Lawrence and the others in front of him, and both nodded in praise.

"Also, Lawrence," Art said, turning to Lawrence, "you are the construction officer of my Welsh Provincial Government, and the construction of houses and roads in the valley is under your jurisdiction. In addition to the construction of the trade road, you also have to send some people to choose a suitable location to build the village. Today, there are tens of thousands of people in the valley, and only about half of the families live in warm houses, while the rest live in makeshift shacks. They must be given a new house before this winter."

Lawrence slowly got up and touched his forehead.

"Why, there is a difficulty" Art continued to ask seeing that Lawrence was silent.

"No, no, no, sir. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely complete the task you have assigned. Lawrence was determined.

"I know you have a heavy burden. But as things stand, if we don't complete the first phase of the valley before winter arrives, it will be even more difficult later. Art said earnestly.

"Please rest assured, I will complete the task."

"Well, okay, I'll give you a credit here today. Once the task is completed, everyone is rewarded"

"Lord Xie," everyone stood up and bowed. Art held out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"In addition, in view of the fact that the farming tools and reclamation tools are not very abundant, you must personally urge the craftsmen of the workshop to step up the construction. As long as you have the tools in your hand, whether it is to open up the wasteland or to build, the efficiency will be improved. ”

"Yes, sir. Leave this matter to me, you can rest assured. Cooper confidently agreed.

"Finally, in addition to the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Tun Affairs, other departments under the government government cannot be idle. You must take advantage of this rare time of peace to do what you have in your hands. In particular, the Office of the Faculty of Education must do its best to train officials for the Military and Government Offices of Wales. Now our place is bigger, there are more things, and we are more lenient. These people will later become the backbone of the various levels of government in Wales. ”

"Yes, sir."

The officials in charge of several major government offices replied in unison.

The government meeting lasted for half a day, and after the task was arranged, everyone was ordered to leave.

As the Earl of Wales, Art has endless things to deal with.

After the meeting, Art and his family had a brief lunch, and then immediately took the guards and headed for the Beiguan Military Fort

In the morning, according to the report from the guards, the horses that had been purchased by his father-in-law, Lord Galvin, in the name of the palace treasurer's office, had been sent to the Beiguan Military Fort. It was a happy event for the Welsh Army and Arte, but it was also a big event. As the commander of the Wells Legion, Art couldn't wait to see this batch of high-quality warhorses.

"Look, these horses are really majestic," a short, immature-looking soldier muttered to his companion as he stroked the belly of the horse in front of him, which was a head taller than him.

"Well, yes. Now those guys who were selected into the cavalry company last time have made a lot of money. It is said that the Earl spent a lot of money to buy them from the Northland, and they are all high-quality war horses. A war horse is worth thousands of pfennigs."

The short soldier hurriedly stretched out his hand for fear of startling the horses.

"Hey, hey, get out of the way, get out of the way" Just as the two finished speaking, a group of guys who had just been selected for the cavalry company swaggered over from behind the crowd, and pushed the soldiers in front of them to both sides, with a look full of anger.

"This is the horse of our cavalry company, don't be greedy for you guys," said the guy who walked at the front, pointing to the soldiers around him.

"If your horse is capable, you can ride it back"

One of the soldiers in the crowd spoke, looking disdainful.

"Yes, if you have the ability, ride back," the other soldiers around him also coaxed, shouting loudly.

"Ride and ride, we cavalrymen are born to eat this bowl of rice"

"Good"

The other cavalrymen who had already crowded into the middle of the crowd shouted and cheered. This shout attracted more soldiers to come and watch the excitement.

In the blink of an eye, the troublemaker grabbed the mane on the horse's back and climbed up with all his might. The legs are in a figure-eight shape, one foot touches the ground, and the other foot desperately rubs the horse's belly.

"Hahaha" The surrounding soldiers scoffed.

The guy who was trying to climb on the horse's back couldn't get past him, so he pulled the horse's mane hard, ready to leap up, straddle the horse like a real knight, and crush the horse under his crotch.

Unexpectedly, the war horse suddenly neighed and raised its front hooves. The soldier who was grabbing his mane and climbing up fell to the ground with a stumble. The onlookers then dispersed backwards, their faces full of panic.

The guy on the ground was about to get up, when the horse's hind hooves suddenly kicked and kicked the unlucky guy in the crotch. The guy yelled, then turned pale, covered his lower body with his hands, and curled up in a ball and rolled on the ground and screamed.

The other guys who came with him hurriedly gathered around to check it out

Angus and other high-ranking officers, who were talking in the hall of the military fort with the officials of the palace finance officer who delivered the horses, rushed to hear the noise.

"Get out of the way," Lunician, who was following Angus, shouted angrily at the soldiers gathered around the fallen guy. Then they made a way.

"What's going on?" Angus asked.

"Sir Angus, this guy scared the war horse just now and was kicked to the crotch"

"Aha" The senior officer who came with him laughed when he heard this.

Immediately, Angus ordered the unlucky fellow to be sent to the barracks medical barracks. The horses were then brought into makeshift stables.

In the afternoon, Arter led Ron and his group to Beiguan Military Fort. Then Angus and the others couldn't wait to come to the stable, wanting to see what happened to the horses that had cost them nearly a million fennigs.

"My lord, these are the war horses that Lord Galvin personally ordered to be sent today." In the temporary stables of Beiguan Military Fort, Angus and others were accompanying Art to inspect these war horses.

"It's a good horse," said Art, as he put his hand on the horse and looked back and forth, constantly looking.

Ron, who was following behind, looked at the tall horses, his eyes wide. In his opinion, the worst of these horses was much better than the other horses in the Welsh Legion.

"My lord, it's your father-in-law who has the ability. It seems to me that the worst of these horses is more than 6,000 pfennigs. All of them are excellent war horses of North Real Estate. Not only is it superior in size to the existing horses of the legion, but it is several notches higher in momentum."

Art nodded slightly and said, "You're right, I bothered my father-in-law this time." I'll have to ask Salter to bring some gifts and thank him for a while. With that, Art continued along the stable.

Suddenly, a pair of dark and shiny eyes caught Art's gaze.

"Stop" Art stopped and glanced closer to the horse.

The horse stands taller than Art's head, has a well-proportioned body, and is muscular, tight and elastic. The limbs are slender, and the black hair extends from head to tail, which is unusually bright and smooth. Back on his head, a pair of jet-black eyes were particularly eye-catching, and his ears were erect, unusually alert.

Art stroked the horse with one hand and couldn't stop admiring: "Good horse, good horse"

The accompanying officers also approached and inspected, and they all sighed at Yat's unique vision.

"My lord, your war horse is also a little old, why don't you take this opportunity to change to a war horse," Angus said on the side.

"Yes, sir. The horse doesn't eat as much as it used to do, and he's a lot thinner than before."

Atla thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you all say so, then I'll try this horse." If I can handle it, he'll be with me from now on."

After a short time, Ron put the horse in a new saddle and led him to the training ground of the North Pass Military Fort. Seven or eight straw men made of corn stalks for cavalry training stood cross-legged not far ahead.

"Sir, your horse." Ron handed the reins to Art.

Art took the reins and gently stroked the horse's back, his fur smooth and full of blood.

Immediately, Art grabbed the saddle and expertly stepped onto the horse's back.

"Phew"

The horses began to become a little restless and kept roaring. The hind hooves tossed the soft dirt away, and he looked ready to charge.

In the blink of an eye, the brute began to go berserk. The front hooves were raised high and they kept roaring, frightening the soldiers around them to quickly retreat.

Art grabbed the reins with all his might, trying to control the horse. Suddenly, the horse burst through the crowd and ran towards the clearing on the side

"Adult"

"Master"

Angus, Ron and the others hurriedly chased after them.

On the horse, Art felt a little uncontrollable about the sudden change in the horse's temperament. He had to hold the horse's belly tightly, hold on to the reins, and try his best to keep his balance so that he would not be thrown off the horse's back by the brute. The war horse was running back and forth in the training ground, extremely excited, completely indifferent to who was riding on horseback, full of wildness.

After a while, Arter, accustomed to the rhythm of the horse, grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and galloped towards the imaginary enemy on the other side of the training ground. The onlookers also hurriedly chased after them.

After controlling the warhorse, Art drew the steel knight's sword from his waist and raised it high. When the horse approached the straw men, Art brandished his long sword and cut off the heads of several straw men passing by in three or two strokes

"Good"

The onlookers applauded and cheered for the earl. The crowd admired not only Art's courage, but also the young earl's horsemanship.

Art then turned his horse's head towards the crowd.

"Sir," Ron hurried up and grabbed the reins.

"It seems that this war horse is none other than me today"

The crowd cheered loudly
