By the end of September, the wheat fields in various parts of the Karen Kingdom had been basically harvested.

In good years, the introduction of the preferential seed and the cultivation system led to an unprecedented "bumper harvest" for the kingdom - grain production was more than three times higher than before, which represented a significant increase in the treasury for a cabinet that had already begun to reform taxes... Because in the current era, most of the taxes are still carried out in the form of direct collection of grain.

In order to prevent the price of grain from falling drastically to the detriment of the peasants' interests, the cabinet also set a minimum purchase price to ensure the stability of the social grassroots.

The petty nobles and commoners were very realistic: no one would overthrow a stable regime that would allow them to live comfortably without having to fight all day long, let alone the military level of this regime that is currently the best in the world.

Under such circumstances, the kingdom of Karen can be said to have ushered in the fastest stage of development in history. Because even the people at the bottom are gradually realizing the benefits of technological and magical changes.

After the surplus grain was purchased, the farmers who had surplus money and surplus grain began to go to the towns to buy daily necessities that were previously impossible to buy, and even some villages began to raise funds to buy and build large machinery such as water-powered mills, which have improved the efficiency and reduced the price of these things after the process was improved and the use of more precise metal bearings has greatly reduced the threshold for use.

And the small landlords who originally counted on land income have now begun to focus on the new businesses that are constantly popping up in the city, and they have sharpened their heads one by one to drill into the city - because of the improvement and blowout of magic technology, this group of guys can be said to have entered the market early and taken off early, and when the tuyere comes, they only need to invest their funds to get countless times the return.

The magicians have little interest in making money, and now they are like bees gathered in a dense hive, all of them are busy with their own research. But it is this kind of behavior, like a fusion reaction, that accelerates the entire magical world at a rapid pace, rapidly advancing the level of human understanding of the world.

This is a huge and invisible force, and no mage would think about what the future of the kingdom or even the human race will be, but their extremely efficient way of learning and improving is more like an engine, driving the entire human world forward.

Trucks, trains, roads, and even ships and planes are rapidly evolving, and the transportation system around Elson, Hollier, and the Imperial City is constantly improving. Because there was no shortage of food, a large number of low-level manpower began to leave the farmland and throw it into the coal yard of the mine, and the black pillar of smoke rose, as if a god had pressed the "fast forward" button for the humans of the Karen Kingdom.

The southern port built from scratch has expanded rapidly, and the technicians from Rasiman have guided the shipbuilding team of the Karen Kingdom to build a large shipyard, but they have not completely used the traditional Rasiman shipbuilding techniques, but with the help of various magical machines, based on the traditional structure, they have built steel warships that can be powered by "steam power" and hedron energy.

This information was kept completely secret, and even the parliament of the Rasiman kingdom had no knowledge of it.

There was a thriving scene everywhere, and the slightest contradictions in the cabinet could not affect the overall situation at all. There were no rebellions in the kingdom, and the occasional vicious incident was dealt with swiftly and set up as a model through the efforts of the propaganda apparatus, thus further enhancing the prestige of the central power.

However, the people of the kingdom have experienced this change very deeply, and they are very interested in the country that has been separated from the transportation system... For example, the undead Tasman Empire and those small countries scattered in the east, the Karen Kingdom seems to be only a little more developed caravans in their eyes, and they don't know anything else.

When Roddy picked up the latest report, he blinked and sighed, "I've almost forgotten about this guy." ”

"Who?"

Camila leaned over from her chair and leaned over to him: "... Orc forces attack and capture the fortress of Les... Orcs, are they the ones you beat away?"

Roddy had the figure of Sauron in his mind, although this orc leader is definitely not as strong as himself now, but in terms of the other party's ability, he can really be called a generation of heroes. Since he led the defeated army through the Karen Kingdom and escaped from the territory of the country, Luo Di has not paid too much attention to the other party's movements, after all, the detection range of the "Intelligence Bureau" has not yet radiated so far.

The news I received at this time was actually three months ago. The "Fortress of Les" is separated by several mountains from the eastern border of Karen, and the distance in a straight line is more than 200 kilometers, so this news is mostly brought back by the caravan.

Roddy didn't have to care, but some details were written in the back of the report: the orc army was so overwhelming in the battle that the defending soldiers couldn't resist it, and it was declared lost in one day.

This immediately reminded Roddy of the history of the orcs: they originally appeared in this world as demon pioneers, when this group of guys destroyed most of the cities of the high elves in a forbidden state, and scattered in this world after the demons were repulsed, and after regaining their senses, they evolved and multiplied for countless years to become what they are today.

"This can't be left alone, their connection to the demon is probably closer than Teflin's connection to the demon, maybe Kazvera has somehow regained control of them. ”

Roddy made his decision after a few thoughts, and Camila asked, "Contact Sodrol now?"

Sodrol finally flew back to the kingdom of Karen half a month ago, and for his military achievements, he had already received the commendation of Sally I, and was made an earl and a domain.

However, the power and control of the "earl" at this time were completely different from the previous lords, which was also a necessary means adopted by the central government in order to prevent it from being attacked by the local government.

And for Roddy, the brother who fought side by side at the beginning is actually the number one boss in the military - the latter's political wisdom is also enough, and he actively chooses to hand over power, and now only when the cabinet collectively writes the power of attorney, and at the same time has the signature and seal of Queen Sally I on the power of attorney, Sodrore can have the right to lead the troops to the battle, otherwise he will never be half a step close to the barracks on weekdays.
