The confiscated land and population, naturally, the newly graduated student officials of Black Rock City came to receive them and make unified arrangements. {sui}{dream} щ{suimеng[lā} or to cultivate on the spot, to reclaim wasteland; Or move to other places, there is always a reasonable place to go.

As for those stubborn nobles who rely on the high walls of their own cities and want to resist forcibly, or wait for the kingdom to come out for them, naturally there will be no good results.

Now in this situation, Ma Long can no longer be allowed to retreat.

A cannon outside the city exploded the city gate with a few loud bangs, and the knights rushed in, grabbing the nobles who were frightened by the sound of the cannon like chickens.

As for how to deal with it in the future, it depends on their performance.

In short, in the case of the extreme lack of manpower, Malone abolished the death penalty....

But there may be lifelong housing for some people at mines or construction sites that need labor.

The army led by Black Stone went all the way south, unstoppable, and was taking castles and manors at an astonishing speed.

Before the rest of the kingdom could react, at the end of 729, the entire northern county was brought under control.

Of course, even if someone reacted, there was no way to stop Ma Long's determination.

With the paperwork signed by Caitlin in hand, he has a reason in name, and he has enough confidence in strength!

Until the boundary monument with the black stone collar was inserted by the knights at the junction of the former northern and central counties, the main kingdom did not react too violently.

Although various internal voices have risen one after another, and opposition has risen one after another, no one has really sent troops for this matter.

No one is a fool, the Black Stone leader is unstoppable, and no one wants to be the wronged leader!

What is reassuring is that the knights of the Blackstone Collar stopped at the border and began to do their old business, transporting earth and building cities!

The two big cities of the Black Stone Collar were built by themselves in the later period.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ma Long, a lord who was born as a master builder, seems to have a soft spot for building cities, so it is not wrong to say that these knights are doing their old jobs.

On the north-south border, the original intersection has become a huge construction site.

Guarded by the knights of the Black Stone Leader, the engineering team organized the post-war refugees to build the castle.

Although Malone was well prepared for this war, refugees inevitably arose.

Now that the farming time has passed, it is time to use cash for work to keep these people alive.

In addition to the refugees, it is those recalcitrant nobles, and although the ones with a better reputation are not treated politely by the Black Stone Collar, they are still passable.

Those who have a bad reputation become construction site coolies, and their lives are even worse than that of refugees!

There is a continuous border between the north and the central county, and there are six routes suitable for the large-scale march of armies and merchants, in addition to the main road from the royal capital that can directly reach Blackstone City, there are also five other routes in the east and west.

In these places, Marlon is preparing to build a fortress, which can be used as a checkpoint to prevent possible attacks from the south, and can also be used as a checkpoint for collecting taxes.

In the future, when he came to the Black Stone Territory, he would also collect customs duties at the time of entry and exit.

For businessmen, this is simply great news, that is, the burden is reduced, the procedure is simplified, and the benefits are greatly increased.

Of course, there is still a transaction tax. Even so, the profit is much higher than the exploitation of the nobles in the front!

In addition to the six major roads, there are many mountain roads or trails on the border that need to be crossed over mountains and mountains, and only a small number of people can be allowed to travel lightly, and it is impossible to build a castle in these places.

In a short period of time, even the sentry post cannot be built, and there is a huge gap in the population of the Blackstone Territory, so some knights can only be arranged to patrol from time to time.

Fortunately, there are no hidden dangers in terms of safety, but for a certain period of time, these places may become the route of travel for smugglers.

However, there are many fierce beasts and wild monsters in the mountains, and it is still difficult to say how many people can pass safely!

Heishi Ling swallowed the entire North County in one go, and he himself reached the limit, and he seemed to have some indigestion, so he had to develop the interior with a big belly.

The outside world has also reacted differently to this incident.

The royal capital, the royal palace.

Caitlin lost her freedom, but she was not imprisoned.

She stayed in her former dormitory, but she was not allowed to go out, and the maids she served were replaced by strangers she didn't know.

Although she can't go out, Anlek doesn't deprive her of the right to access information from the outside world, and from time to time someone else sends her some current information.

"These bastards!"

Irritably, she crumpled up the newly delivered information and slammed it against the wall.

"Why ......?"

"Why do I have to bear all this?" She cursed indignantly.

"Enlek is a white-eyed wolf!" Compared to Marlon's encroachment on the land belonging to the kingdom, Caitlin hated her husband more, how could she not see that he was such a person before......

Outside the door, Anlek, who originally wanted to push the door in, the current acting king, stopped his movements.

He bowed his head and asked the two maids guarding the door, "Has she been like this all this time?" ”

"Yes." The two did not dare to hide it.

With some guilt, Anlek left the place and returned to his place of work.

Looking at the newly sent information about the Black Stone Collar, his mood finally improved.

There was a wicked smile on his face, and the trace of guilt just now had disappeared, "Hurry up, soon I will be able to sit in that position, and then ......"

He clenched his fist vigorously and smashed the paper in his hand, "For the efforts of more than ten generations of the family, and for the sake of ...... Become a god......"

Black Stone Collar, Ma Long is leading people to do the overall planning of the territory.

There are more problems than expected in the newly grown large area of land, and even after many speculations and rehearsals, there are still some unpredictable problems.

Overall, too small a population is a big problem.

Looking back, Malone felt as if he had been working on the issue of population all these years......

Shaking his head and throwing distractions out of his mind, he paid attention to the plans of a group of staff.

The river needs to be re-dredged, and the current water flow is very irrational, and the distribution of water resources is extremely uneven.

The original five-year plan, which had only been implemented for one year, had to be scrapped and reformulated into a new 10-year plan.

Fortunately, it is not a comprehensive denial, and the results of the previous labor can still be used.

The big octopus is busy again!

A large amount of farmland was thought to be idle due to the war.

Unexpectedly, those farmers who were exploited by the aristocracy heard that Malone only collected five layers of taxes, and they broke out with great enthusiasm one by one.

Under the attribute bonus of Lord Marlon, he got up early and was greedy for darkness, and he contracted a large amount of land to cultivate to ensure the grain harvest in the coming year.

Of course, the seed is the latest result of Blackstone Collar's research department.

Blackstone Collar is now too large to expand for a long time.

The northern Xinjiang side is not suitable for planting, most of them are barren, not to mention, the original Beijun is fertile soil, and no matter what, we have to find a way to reclaim it.
