At the very least, the military judge did not give a negative statement, and finally he added: "I took the oath before the Red Hand." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gawain turned back and talked to him about the plans for six months—the experimental cultivation of rice in Cilicia, the spread of millet in the highlands, the expansion of the staff and departments of the Seleucian Ordnance Division, the construction of citrus plantations, and, of course, most importantly, the revival of Beirut and Jubail, and the first shovel and the first furnace of the iron ore mines of the Tranzak.

In the end, there was the most important thing in his heart, Anna's smooth delivery.

After saying this, Giovanni thought for a moment and asked a very practical question, "Manpower will be a very serious problem. ”

Gao Wen nodded and sighed, expressing his agreement with the military judge's worries: At present, the cultivation and cultivation of citrus, rice, and wheat alone occupy a large number of sacred peasants, and the border people and the people's army are also in a state of semi-production, dragging down a considerable proportion of the people's strength.

After all, although his current territory has occupied Kayseri and Iconium two new places, the total population has only reached one million, in fact, this population has been quite a lot in the Middle Ages, it is a regional power, the population of Britain before the Black Death was about four million (after the Black Death once dropped to more than two million), in addition, Gawain also adopted a ruthless trick to isolate the existence of the middle class, in the former Ruben Kingdom he executed almost all Armenian nobles, However, there are too many things to do and take-off in a short period of time, and there is a scarcity of people with manual skills and experience. Therefore, as the military judge said, "Manpower is still a big problem." ”

Rely on nature, right? It will take at least 10 or 20 years to see some results.

However, the production of Khitan snow, the cultivation of new crops, the laying of roads, the excavation of canals, the storage of cattle and horses on the plateau, the construction of new deep-water ports, and the manufacture of iron tools and weapons in large quantities are not the problems that need to be solved urgently in this decade? Gawain desperately needed some kind of accelerant, but some conventional moral issues haunted him.

He walked over to a clerical cabinet by the column, took out a few letters, and handed them to Giovanni. The military judge, who had previously been a small squire and knew a little about reading and spelling several languages, Giovanni frowned and unfolded the letters, some of which came from the Grand Senate of Barry, some from the palace of Tarsusiana, and some from Wright, Sithshire, but the topic was unified, so Gawain concentrated it in a mezzanine.

After synthesizing the information, Giovanni's face changed unexpectedly.

"I have a cautious reservation about such behavior."

"There's no better way...... Gawain was obviously a little apprehensive, "Actually, Anna and Ander Odat expressed concern in their letters before......"

The implication is that the Senate and Wright in Barry City are in favor of this.

"On this issue, I think there should be another meeting of the six divisions, bringing together all the people in power for a frank secret meeting." Giovanni suggested.

Gawain nodded, "A week later, it will be held in the old palace of the Seleucian Acropolis." ”

Before the meeting, the envoys of the Brenus finally arrived, and he went to Fort Germanico, but only to learn that the battle was over, and that "under the new thunder and fire, Danishmond had never suffered so many deaths, and their chieftain had fled far away to a place where even the wind could not blow", so he went down the Harris River, and when he crossed the Fort of Anglas, he was almost caught by a mistaken spy, and finally arrived at the renamed city of Iconium.

"I didn't expect your master to be such a Peni Passer Bastos." After Gawain finished reading the secret letter, he spoke to Brenus's own servant in a well-guarded room.

Then Gawain groaned, thinking that this should be Daido. Commnen's instigation, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was completely superfluous to ask, so he sent the secret letter to the present table, "I have already understood the intentions of the Penipas Bastos, please return it, I have promised him in the camp of Little Antioch that I will not go back on - the two sides will keep the present border unchanged, not to infringe on each other, and to set up regular mutual markets in Alaman, Milio Sepharon, and the port of Seleucia - my military operations in the east must not be attacked by His Highness Brenus, On the contrary, His Highness Brenus can ask me for assistance in any danger, and I will do my best. ”

"As for the seal...... "The servant muttered pleasantly, meaning that he could return to Philadelphiam, and ask Penipasbastos to send him a secret instrument to sign his name and seal.

With a slight but crisp sound, Gawain had already taken out his seal, poked it on the secret letter, and handed it to the stunned servant, "Just ask me to give me a copy of your Penipasian Bastos, there is no need to be so twisty, as long as there is integrity, I don't believe that Penipasian Bastos will hand over this secret letter to the emperor." It should be said that even if it is handed over to the emperor, it is not just a small river that has been injected into the ocean of the emperor's hatred for me. Gawain said, removing the seal and spreading his hands, looking indifferent.

After sending off the slaves, Gawain slowly walked to the pillar wrapped with raised patterns and held it with his hand, and suddenly laughed in a low voice, "My father-in-law, your seven golden edicts seem to have made a deliberate shuffle of the old and new forces of the plateau, so that everyone can be restrained and not let any side sit big, but this kind of scheming is useless to me, I only see that the western part of Tarsus is full of characters with their own evil intentions, and this situation will only make me more comfortable in the future...... Sadly, it was your son-in-law and daughter who betrayed you. ”

Thinking of this, Gawain couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the emperor, but then Gawain's heart suddenly rose with fear and sadness - how could he avoid his father-in-law's old path?

This night, Gawain did not ask anyone to accompany him, but thought quietly until he fell asleep on the marching couch indoors......

Within the allotted time, everyone gathered in the familiar old palace of Seleucia, and even Anna, who was pregnant with Rokka, came on her shoulder.

In the courtyard of the old palace, Gawain came one step ahead of time, and in front of the vine-covered door of the inner wall, Wright, who had also arrived early, took three steps and two steps, hurried to the front of the great patron and saluted, and then said to him, "According to your orders, it is ready behind this inner wall." ”

"Okay, I'll compare it myself." Gawain hung his scepter and whip from his belt, then covered with a black cloak, and was guided by Wright to the stone wall on the other side of the inner wall.

On the gravel floor there, stood three groups of men, all dressed in the same linen clothes, but with different skin colors and appearances.

To put it simply, one team is white-skinned people with a flesh-red glow, one team is very fair-skinned and beautiful, and the last team is purely black-skinned. (To be continued.) )
