In fact, there are not many real peaks, most of them are hills, and the forests and wastelands are continuous, and the sun is shining brightly, without the slightest fog.

The carriage was advancing, and the sound of horses' hooves behind it was already in unison.

In the distance, a small town appeared in front of me, this is already the seventh town I have seen, although each town has its own style, but there is one thing in common, that is, new and busy.

All the people looked hurried, busy on the ground, and there were no idlers to see leisurely chatting and passing the time.

"It's already Fries, right?" Fang Xin asked.

"Archduke, yes, it's time for the Fries." The attendant in front of the carriage immediately replied respectfully.

"Yes, I see." Fang Xin casually saw that near the town, it was no longer a wilderness, but a field, patches of wheat fields, swaying with the wind in the sun, and many farmers were plowing in it.

And when they arrived in the town, there was a road to be built, and the carriage was suddenly much lighter, and everyone who saw it bowed and saluted when they saw the badge on the carriage.

After about ten minutes, the carriage stopped in the center of town.

Fang Xin stepped out of the carriage and found that the ground was paved with pebbles, and all around, there were all kinds of trees and flowers, obviously, some were even newly planted, but they also grew luxuriantly, if it was a few years later, this would be very beautiful!

In the center is a wall, but the wall is not high, only about a meter, and there are countless gaps on it, and you can see the scene inside.

The main attraction is the large white dome in the center.

This is the shrine of the goddess of the earth.

There were already guards inside hurrying in, half-kneeling and saying, "Welcome, Grand Duke, but the bishops and priests are praying!" ”

"It's okay, let's go in first!" Fang Xin didn't care, said, and then walked in to watch.

The temple itself is not large, but the ground is made of black marble, and the pillars are also carved from jade, which is small, but it shows beauty and Hongdae, and when you get closer, the first one on the pillar body has been carved with a statue of the goddess of the earth and herself, which is a praise to the goddess and the messenger.

Fang Xin smiled dumbly, waiting outside the door, not disturbing the prayers in the temple - Bishop Barnier was leading a group of probationary priests to pray, and in the center of the temple, there was a goddess with a beautiful face, and at this time, the statue of the god emitted a white light, enveloping the entire temple.

After last year's victory, Fang Xin sent people to draw a map, count the population, and restore the Earl's Castle, now known as the "Blue Castle", although it is a count's castle, but it is more than enough to be the capital of the Grand Duke.

Three months later, the results came out, the area of this one-sided area was about 10,000 square kilometers, and the edge of the one-sided was the void, so Fang Xin added nobles and divided the territory.

It is completely one-sided, divided into eight counties and two independent territories, the public office zhan has two county private territories, the nobles and knights have two and a half county territories, one independent territory is the religious territory, that is, the Friesian territory, and one independent territory, which is the commercial territory, and the city of Jianpal, the area of these two independent territories is about 500 square kilometers.

There are also three and a half counties, which are public domains, and are jointly managed by the Grand Duke, the Temple, and the nobles, but in fact, it is still a no-man's land, after all, according to the population, there are only 72,000 people, and no one can arrange to go there to cultivate.

After the bishop of Barnier was ordained, he went to the Fries, and with him were 1,200 people, and it is said that the first thing these 1,200 people did was to build the temple, and they also received the help of the nobles, and it took a month and a half, and when it was built, the statue of the god glowed and showed miracles.

By this time, Bishop Barnier had finished praying with the crowd, and several of the little girls from the choir had already retreated, but this sacred atmosphere still enveloped the entire temple.

Fang Xin had to sigh, Bishop Barnier created a whole set of religious rituals based on a book of afterlife, and it was recognized, this is its merit, although it bears the imprint of Western civilization, but it is already remarkable.

"Welcome, Great Divine Servant, Ruler of the Earth!" Bishop Barnier came out and bowed to Fang Xin, and in the back, several priests dressed in white also bowed.

"Bishop Barnier, you don't have to be polite, it depends on the situation, you are doing a really good job."

"This is your work, why don't we go upstairs and talk?"

"No need, let's go, I want to talk to you!" Fang Xin said with a smile: "These are all priests? ”

"Probationary pastors, they are not yet qualified to serve in the priesthood of shepherding all beings." Bishop Barnier said, wearing a white robe and a ring emblem, looking noble and elegant.

"I just went out for a walk, and the whole country is cultivating and farming, and the situation is still good!" Fang Xin turned around, walked out of the temple, and walked on the road, although the road had been repaired, but it was sparsely populated, listening to the cries of cattle and sheep in the fields a little farther away, listening to the shouting and shouting of the fields in the distance, Fang Xin felt a kind of joy and regret: "The population is too small, and besides, there are very few cattle and sheep!" ”

Since it is a new building, the houses are all made of wood and arranged in a neat and orderly manner, so that the streets appear to be wide, but because there are few people, even if you walk on the street, you will feel like you have entered the forest.

"Grand Duke, the country has been established, the order has been stabilized, it will not take much time, it will flourish, and besides, there is your improved farming." Bishop Barnier said calmly, as if it was not the cause of this situation in the past three hundred years.

Fang Xin was silent, in fact, what he was establishing now was a relatively powerful royal power.

The Grand Duke has been regarded as "a man who rules the kingdom by the grace of God", although it is divided, but there are two counties in the official domain, and zhan has 22% of the country's territory, which is more than 17% of the British king, the most powerful king in Europe, not to mention the management of the public domain, and has direct control over all levels of nobility.

This kind of system should be quite stable and strong, and it should be able to meet the needs of this one-sided peace for several hundred years, and as for the future, it will be a one-sided matter of its own.

Of course, Fang Xin's proudest thing is to improve farming.

Here, neither the small farmer nor the large estate of the estate can increase the low productivity of labor. Because of the two-field system, the cultivated land is divided into two plots, one for cultivation and one for fallow, which is carried out on a rotational basis every year.

Due to the long war, iron tools were scarce, so there were no ploughs in many places, and only twigs and the like were crisscrossing the fields, and the harvest rate was not more than 3 times higher than 3 times in terms of the harvest obtained by sowing a seed!

Of course, Fang Xin is not good at agriculture, but he has also read about the relevant aspects, and now, it is to announce the implementation of the three-field system, and the implementation of heavy ploughing and animal farming

The so-called three-field system is that the land is divided into three parts, one for winter crops such as winter wheat, one for spring crops such as oats, barley or various legumes, and one for fallow instead of oxen, and horses are used to plough the land.

Don't underestimate this simple reform, which alone can increase production by 50%, because it grows different crops to prepare different food resources for people, and the cultivation of oats provides more feed for horses, which in turn makes it possible to use them widely. The cultivation of pulses increases the fertility of the land and increases the production of the land.

In this case, merit comes, and the only pity is that the proportion of merit is too small.
