This purple-clothed princess mainly built a school, and also asked students to learn unpopular agriculture and architecture, which was indeed a breakthrough in the times.

However, this kind of culturally oriented measures have a much greater calming effect on people's hearts than the princess's words such as "I will renovate the Seleucian fortress" and "I will erect a new wall on the seafront facing Alalmanburg" -- a few days ago, rumors of war were rampant, and many craftsmen who were working on the construction site of the big hospital ran away, and now the princess in purple has promulgated measures in time to show the image of our Seleucian military government still standing, so that people's hearts can be settled as soon as possible.

After the order was given to build the school, Anna's shoulder march continued the next day, and then reached the castle of Mutter, which was under siege.

At this moment, the castle was completely devoid of the grandeur of the first time Anna and Gawain came to inspect - Branas and Lambert, who were responsible for the siege, commanded the three infantry detachments of the Guardian Brigade, plus the Genats who came to join the army, and the Paulite army, and the mobilized peasants from all over the place, a total of thousands of men, dug up the passage down the mountain, and densely built the besieged barricades, barracks and watchtowers, and a blockade ditch full of wooden stakes not only tightened the "throat" of the castle, but also leaked the water that surrounded the castle. Originally, the castle could have been used to draw water from the moat with a noose and bucket with a fence protruding from the high platform, but now there is no hope at all.

However, the battle between the besieging and defending sides was not fierce, and only occasionally used bows and arrows to fire. Below the castle of Mutter, in the vast woodlands and river valleys. What is really enthusiastic is the disposal of the reverse production of Jinat.

Since Gawain established the "spirit of contract", that is, "if you dare to buy, I will dare to sell", the Jinat estate in the river valley was sold out in a matter of days - when Anna was carried on her shoulders and the guards behind her walked up the shrub and pine hillside opposite Mutter Castle, she saw the beautiful castle on the opposite side surrounded by clouds and mist. and the besieged positions several levels below, and the outerly active worlds, the members of the Brotherhood and the Reformers, who sat scattered in front of the ridges of the fields, with folded tables in hand, bags full of coins at their feet, guiding the stewards and tenant farmers of the former Jinat in the wheat fields, orchards, and ditches, with inscriptions in the cylindrical pattern, to carry out the new distribution of land, and to divide the new water sources and property boundaries intensively.

On a huge ancient tree in the middle. Xiao Suo's branches and leaves, with dense corpses hanging and surrounded by execution racks, have a special name, and the local people call it the "traitor tree".

"The Grand Duke meant to establish new estates throughout the valley of the Mut, plus one hundred to one hundred and fifty new village communes." The heraldic officer, Androdart, prostrated himself in front of Anna. So reported.

Anna smiled and said you have worked hard. "Thereafter, we must urge the Reformers of the Commune to organize the peasants and open up new irrigation canals, and increase the income from the land, and the Grand Duke and I will make it clear to all the Roman subjects of Seleucia that there will always be a good reward for managing the land. And Andy Odart. The new saladage estate was to support the cavalry of the Grand Duke, so the standard in the contract had to be raised, because the horses and armor of the Stratiotais were much more expensive. ”

"Yes."

"Stratiotai real estate in addition to serving as an armament expenditure. Don't have to bear other taxes; and the rest of the new land, which was sold cheaply and allotted to the stewards and tenant farmers of Ginat, was to be secured for every fifty men, with one fully equipped cavalryman, with banners, armor, horses, and weapons, or two brigade vanguard halberders, or three brigade archers, all of a total value not less than twenty-four gold coins a year; If they are unwilling to undertake military service, they can directly pay an equal amount of taxes, which will be replaced by foreign employees hired by the military government, and this tax is called the 'shield tax', which must be collected strictly and in place. Taxes can be reduced, but they cannot be delayed or evaded. After Anna finished speaking, the little sunfish handed the order document that had been prepared to the heraldic officer and told him to carry it out.

Then the heraldic officer stepped back to the side and stood on the side, and Anna gazed at the castle of Mutt, and suddenly asked Lambert, who came to accompany him on the other side, "Dig a blockade ditch to drain the castle's water to trap the Callegos brothers, this plan was devised by Branas?" ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Anna raised her chin and thought thoughtfully, "Then why not just poison the water of the original moat, poison the defenders in the castle, and then make them surrender and be defeated?" ”

The purple-clothed princess suddenly came out of her mouth with these words, which caught Lambert off guard, and he didn't know how to answer, because only this kind of princess, who grew up in the court and lacked practical military experience, would have such a whimsical question.

At last the little sunfish came over and whispered to the princess, "for the water of the moat is connected to the Sallev River, and there is no such large dose of poison that can dissolve the poison of the water to the point of death, and besides, there is a spare spring in the mountain fort that can slowly support the defenders." ”

Anna's little face turned red with embarrassment, but fortunately, after the curtain was lowered, others could not see it clearly, she coughed briskly twice, and diverted the topic, "Remember to give the Castle of the Callogos brothers to Gaia. Ducasse and Nexus. Ducasse inheritance. ”

But now she also understands that through this bloody counterinsurgency war, she and Gawain have exterminated most of the Seleucian Jinat, and redistributed all their land, established a new and dynamic commune system, and expanded the military service estate of the holy warriors directly under it, increased taxes and soldiers, and had a "gateway" to the north that belonged to their jurisdiction. Now she and Gawain's country have formed a "three-tier offensive and defensive system", the first layer is Orson, Polibi, Anderodat (temporary acting), Monomachus, and Dorus. The Lambert (not yet in office) group of lords, and their castles, formed a chain of defenses that happened to control the Cilician Gate and held back the Armenian forces to the east; The second layer is Lamas, Zephilim, and Coleadio, that is, West Cilicia, which happens to constitute a "three-legged" defensive area, which is also a mixed area of the Holy Warrior Estate and the Genat Estate, which can bring rich output to the military government, and a large number of soldiers, and the local Genat people are also loyal to the Grand Duke; The third layer of defense, the core area from Seleucia to the valley of the Mut River, has now completely eradicated dissidents and become a confinement for her and Gawain.

Anna could not help imagining that in the Acropolis of Seleucia, in the spring of the following year, when wisteria flowers had covered the walls, she and Gawain would be able to "mingle" on their couches - with their heads resting on the valley of the Mutter River and stepping on the Cyprus Sea, and calling their wombs to draw the savage vitality of the Varyag and the noble classics of Rome.

"No, there's another Alalmanburg, which hasn't been solved yet."
