Let's change the name of the chapter to this in the future...... The limit of twenty words for the chapter name at the starting point is really disgusting, and I can't even finish writing the chapter name, so I can only mess with the name. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The following text.

Conquered the county of Ormond - in fact, it should be said that it was recovered, after all, nominally this county belongs to him, but aside, these meaningless things are aside, if you want to firmly control the entire county in a chaotic situation, even the little Tang Grand Duke must make a lot of effort.

However, to tell the truth, Ormond's situation is not too bad, although the peasants are all hungry, but they have not starved to death, large-scale famine and plague have not occurred, and the war is only limited to a small scale, the level of hundreds of people, although the life is difficult, but gritted teeth can still live.

Stay alive.

For a lord in the Middle Ages, especially in the early and middle Middle Ages, as long as he can still keep his subjects alive, then he is equivalent to the Goddess of Mercy and Grace in the world, which is enough to make most of the people worship loyally.

However, it is still far from enough for the Duke of Xiao Tang - the reason is very simple, there is no way to generate consumption power just by living, there is no GDP without consumption, no, there is no demand, there is no market, there is no scientific and technological progress without market, so what do I want you to do, pay out of your own pocket to raise these tens of thousands of mouths with open mouths and screaming to be fed?!

Of course, I'm not saying that population is not important, population is the first priority, but now the Duke of Xiao Tang is not greedy enough, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, when the population is insufficient, thinking about the population, and when the population is large, he thinks about higher pursuits.

The so-called higher pursuit, that is, to work together, common prosperity, the whole people work together to be well-off, to get rich first to build roads, have fewer children and more trees...... It's supposed to be more children here. In fact, the little Tang Grand Duke is thinking about whether to learn from the advanced experience of the former Soviet Union, forced marriage, respect for heroic mothers, give birth to one fine, give birth to two rewards, give birth to three countries to help you raise, give birth to four and give the title of 'Soviet Mother', oh dear, the number is limited, first come, first served!

However, once again, considering his own situation, the Duke of Xiao Tang himself is almost twenty years old, and he is not married, not only is he not married, but he doesn't even have a lover, he can be regarded as an older youth, so the forced marriage is still forgotten, but it is a heroic mother, and he can experiment.

In this way, the little Tang Duke was tired from a busy day, and in the morning he met with the representatives of the villagers of several nearby villages, most of whom were also elders, and discussed the question of how to increase grain production under the title of spring ploughing this year, and how much tax should be paid each year; At noon, he had lunch with the long-awaited abbot of the local monastery to discuss the status of the church, the privileges of the clergy, tithes, and the annual taxation. In the afternoon, they will also meet with the mayor of the local town to discuss matters related to town development, citizen freedom and taxation...... Anyway, why are there taxes?

But aren't you talking nonsense, what do I use to feed my soldiers without collecting taxes, and tens of thousands of mouths that have opened wide in this broken place? Do you rely on me to drink the northwest wind?

However, I said that even this order of interviews is very particular.

The first one met with the village elders, and to put it bluntly, they were still farmers, which showed that the Duke of Xiao Tang attached great importance to agricultural development and focused his work on agriculture; The second abbot he met with was actually crying and shouting for it, because in the past two years, Bishop Philip's prestige has been too great, and some people have come to the Pope to ask for canonization (although the Irishification of the barbaric land, the Pope is seen as a joke), so this abbot is really afraid, the affairs of heaven are not in the hands of the world, and the little Tang Grand Duke can't do anything to him on the surface, but as long as Philip says a word, he, the abbot, will be the end!

That's why he crawled with a hoistful attitude that he didn't even have for Earl Ormond before, and he exhausted two horses to death, and ran here all night. Originally, according to the plan of him and the mayor of the local town, they were all selling at a price and trying to sell themselves at a good price.

Looking at the flattering smile of the abbot in front of him, what thoughts in his heart, the little Tang Grand Duke is very spiegel, and he can guess seven or eight points. However, firstly, this abbot is still a local, and the implementation of the 'sacraments' also needs his cooperation, and secondly, fear is the best booster, since the abbot is full of fear of Philip, then he can only try his best to curry favor with the little Tang Grand Duke, that is to say...... Won't be lazy.

It is precisely for this reason that the Duke of Xiao Tang always finds time to meet such a 'little person' after his busy schedule.

As for the last mayor, the little Tang Dagong didn't give a good face at all, in terms of cities, he already has the old Limerick and the newly built Cork, which is full of vitality, and it is too late to develop these two cities with all his might, where is the experience to come again; In terms of talents, Xiao Tang Dagong was speechless after wasting a valuable investigation of this mayor today, you said that you have low ability, even the horses can't shoot, and you are not active, what is the use of you saying that I want you?

Therefore, at that time, the attitude of the Duke of Xiao Tang was very clear, you are just a transitional product, work honestly, work hard, stand on the last shift, and have a decent ending, dishonest...... Hmph, the rebels hanging from the top of the city are watching you!

As for such harsh treatment, it may be counterproductive...... To tell the truth, at this moment when the rebel's head was still hanging on the head of the city as air-dried meat, the little Tang Grand Duke didn't believe it, and who else dared to jump out to find death without going away.

That's it, the arrangement of day and night, intrigue with others, and then look at the other party's ecstatic or tearless expression in front of him, some people may be excited because of this, and they are born to engage in politics, but I can clearly say that Xiao Tang Dagong is definitely not this kind of person.

So he was very tired, very tired, so tired that he wanted to run away - but he couldn't escape, and even if he was temporarily out of the predicament of mental labor, he would fall into a vicious circle of physical labor.

That's right, I'm talking about now, having finally settled the Earl of Ormond's men and others, and arranged everything for the next month, the little Tang Grand Duke led the cavalry straight to Connaught non-stop, where there was still an expected fierce battle waiting for him.

Originally, it was imagined to be like this.

However, just as the Duke of Xiao Tang led many cavalry hooves rumbling and the sand was rolling, and he hurried to Connaught with no horsepower, a light horse also rode a fast horse, and rushed to meet the Duke of Xiao Tang in three steps and one whip.

"......" Little Tang frowned, thinking about what happened ahead, so that the Orcobar knight messengers could be released, and if that ghost place could still block the power of his elite soldiers?

"Let him come."

The dusty herald was full of tiredness on his face, but he was still resolute and strong, worthy of the true character of a soldier. As soon as he saw the Duke of Xiao Tang, he immediately saluted solemnly and reported loudly:

"Great Grand Duke, Venerable Knight of Alcoba has urgent military information to convey to you."

Urgent military intelligence? What military intelligence can there be at this time, can the Northern Earls Alliance and Duke Ed still be able to solve their previous suspicions and join forces to deal with me?

The messenger's iron-cast face loosened, and it was hard to tell if he was disappointed, happy, or frustrated, but his tone remained serious.

"Lord Archduke, Duke Eddard says that he has realized his mistake because he has been deceived by the villain, and he is willing to hand over the villain and compensate the county of Ulster for all losses......"

He paused, racked his mind and gave a final report: "They, surrendered." ”
