Chapter 165: Soaring Strength
The evening banquet was held with the assistance of Jays, and the guests were not only merchant families like Jays, but also officials of all levels who had previously managed the city of Carnaston under Lackaden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The merchants levied much less taxes on the merchants than Carnaston, and these merchants naturally supported Qin Feng to enter the city of Carnaston. For the original officials in the city, Qin Feng made it clear that all the officials kept their original positions and did not pursue the past, and at the same time, he also warned all the people to abide by the laws of Kasia, if anyone dared to abuse their rights, the punishment would be doubled, and everyone naturally should be. At the end of a banquet, the guests and hosts were happy.
In the next month, Qin Feng transferred some people from various departments of Karnaston to join the management of Carnaston City, and these new officials will pass on the various legal provisions of Karsia's collar to the officials of Carnaston, so that these people can adapt to the new order as soon as possible. Kate also led a group of subordinates to form a security bureau in Carnaston City, and Scarlett used the intelligence agents of the Ministry of Supervision to help her a lot.
In terms of the army, those Carnaston soldiers who originally wanted to retire, after knowing the allowance received by the Kasia soldiers, only a few insisted on retiring. Qin Feng's original plan to reduce troops could only be silently abandoned under the strong petition of a group of soldiers.
After the defense of the fortress, the troops led by Kasia and the soldiers of Carnaston totaled 20,000 halberders, 18,000 marksmen, 10,000 swordsmen and crusaders, and 600 griffin knights and magicians. These are the main forces of the Terran under Qin Feng's command, and the monthly allowance adds up to more than one million gold coins. This is a big burden, and with the taxes of Cassia and the city of Carnaston today, they can only make ends meet. The situation in the Undercity is better, Qin Feng has given Matt a lot of autonomy, and after paying the allowances of the soldiers in the dungeon and the salaries of officials at all levels, there is still some surplus in the Undercity's municipal construction.
Fortunately, there are five million gold coins sent by the Earl of Aix, if they are used to subsidize the insufficient part of Cassia every month, they can barely support it for a year or two, and if all the treasures collected by Lakaden are auctioned in the royal capital, they can also get millions of gold coins. However, these are many ways to cure the root cause, Qin Feng's hair has fallen out a lot this month because of financial problems, and he often wonders if he can get some goods from the earth and sell them in the hero world.
Things are getting back to square up in Carnaston, and the populace are getting used to the new lord. Qin Feng finally waited for Queen Catherine's envoys and edicts. Qin Feng, as the biggest beneficiary of this battle, the first reward is the promotion of the title, and he will be called Lord Earl in the future. The territory of the Canaston Territory was divided into four parts, Qin Feng and Count Aix each received two-fifths of the area of the Canaston Territory, and the remaining fifth was divided equally between Viscount Chris and Earl Jays, who played soy sauce.
In addition to delivering the Queen's edict to the four lords, Queen Catherine's envoys were also responsible for supervising the division of the realm, and after more than two months of busyness, the four lords' realms finally determined their respective boundaries. Twenty kilometers north of the city of Carnaston, there is a river that flows down from the Aranragua Mountains - the Inle River. The Inle River runs through the middle of the Karnaston Territory and flows in an arc into the Gardar Territory north of Karnaston, eventually joining the Endless Sea. Qin Feng got the territory south of the Inle River, which accounted for exactly two-fifths of the area of the Canaston Domain, and the territory north of the Inle River belonged to the other three lords. The final boundary was that Qin Feng ruled across the river from Count Jays's Shakui Territory and Count Aix's Gatland Domain, and only the northern part of the new territory maintained the original border with Viscount Chris's Gadar Domain.
The territory that Qin Feng obtained was more than 50,000 square kilometers, which was five times the size of the Kasia Territory. In addition to the city of Carnaston, the new territory has six small towns and forty-two villages, and has a population of more than two million, more than seven times the size of the Cassia territory. At this point, Qin Feng's strength has increased greatly.
After dividing the territory, Qin Feng immediately sent defenders to these towns and villages, because Rakkaden had evacuated the defenders of these villages and towns before, in the past few months, wandering soldiers and wild beasts from the Alan Lagua Mountains have been attacking these villages and towns from time to time. Qin Feng sent a thousand halberders, five hundred marksmen, three hundred royal griffins, and two hundred swordsmen to each of the six towns, and two hundred halberders, one hundred marksmen, and fifty swordsmen to forty-two villages. Just these soldiers stationed in villages and towns have drawn more than 26,000 soldiers, nearly half of the soldiers under his command.
Watching the tens of thousands of troops leave Carnaston City in turn and head towards their new station, Qin Feng felt for the first time that there were not enough soldiers under his command. With Queen Catherine's emissaries returning to the royal capital, the affairs of the Carnaston Territory are completely over. Qin Feng can become the biggest beneficiary, he should go to the royal capital in person, thank Duke Renault in person, and express his position on certain things, but before that, he still decided to bring back the soldiers from Kasia City first, and go to the royal capital after arranging the affairs of Kasia City.
Leaving Charles to garrison Carnaston City, Qin Feng rebuilt the four military camps of halberders, marksmen, swordsmen and magicians in the city, using the cornerstone of the military camp captured from Lackaden, he originally wanted to build the magician camp in Carnaston City, but later felt that the population of Kasia was too small, and finally decided to build the magician camp in Carnaston City. After building four military camps, Qin Feng returned to Kasia with his troops, and Sophie, Kate, and Jason naturally set off with him.
When passing through the fortress on the north side of the canyon, 3,000 Minotaur soldiers joined the ranks, and the vacant fortress was garrisoned by Charles. After six days of marching, Qin Feng finally returned triumphantly with Kasia's troops.
Ten days after Qin Feng returned to the city of Kasia, a majestic monument to the martyrs stood outside the north of the city of Kasia. Qin Feng took tens of thousands of soldiers and held a grand mourning event, and the residents of Kasia City spontaneously participated in the mourning activities.
After finishing Kasia's government affairs, Qin Feng remembered that it had been a short time since he entered the world of heroes this time, and his body on Earth had been lying in the hotel room all the time, although there were two Baker brothers, but in case of any accidents, he would not have to go back in the future. Thinking of this, Qin Feng was a little anxious to return to Earth, and by the way, he could take a look at what could be brought to the Hero World in the 'technological plane' of Earth to help him develop his territory and enhance his strength.
It may take a little time to go back this time, and it will be a little inconvenient in the city of Kasia, Sophie, the little girl, is always pestering him, and other people will consult him from time to time. Qin Feng decided that it would be safer to go to the Dark City, as Matt, as his subordinate, obeyed his orders unconditionally.
On the second day after the mourning event ended, Qin Feng set off for the Dark City with the Minotaur King and the Griffin Knight in the name of inspecting the Dark City. (To be continued.) )
