November 19 arrived, and it was a day of celebration for the Hadmar Empire.

On this day, the town hall will distribute sumptuous food such as broth, bread, and barbecue, and the priests of the Ice Temple will also distribute medicines, consume magic spells, and treat the injuries and illnesses accumulated by the civilians for free for a year. For ordinary free people and serfs, this day is also the most anticipated festival for them.

On the festival of festivities, people spend money on new clothes to wear on their bodies, and adults buy gifts for their underage children.

On this day, they don't go hungry, people eat a full meal and eat delicious barbecue for free. On this day, people enter the shrine of the goddess of ice and snow to pray and ask for the goddess's favor

It was a day of celebration for the whole of the Hadma Empire.

This day also has a deep commemorative significance for Bruno and Molda.

Sometimes, their avatars will even descend to the mortal world together, disguised as a young couple, to experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sufferings of the poor in the mortal world.

No official or nobleman dared to stretch out his hand or make a fortune at the celebration festival, as long as they embezzled a copper coin, once they were found out by the empire, whether it was a duke or a royal family, they would be executed by the emperor for blasphemer.

Even their families will be exiled, dusted, and expelled from the ranks of the nobility.

As long as the bloodline of Bruno and Molda still holds the Hadma Empire, they will never have a bright future in the Empire.

The power of the royal family and the Church is enough to ensure that this rule can be enforced.

Every few years, some unlucky people are found out, removed from the nobility council by the emperor, and demoted to lowly serfs.

After all, this is a magical world with divine powers, and the Church and the King have countless means to verify this.

It is precisely because the benefits and risks are not big or small that few aristocratic officials dare to commit taboos on this day to embezzle money.

Bruce had already gone to the Emerald City to buy more than a dozen truckloads of goods, most of which were needles and threads and miscellaneous items that some camps couldn't produce.

Because they lived in the forest, it was impossible for an official from the Emerald City Hall to prepare food for them, and no priest from the temple would treat their injuries.

Tang En and the others are not short of meat, although it is now winter, and the prey outside has gradually decreased, but Tang En and the others have already stored enough food.

Since this summer, under Donn's planning, they have started raising pigs and raising them near the camp. Don even bought some war horses and bulls, and set aside a place for people to take care of.

Towne even planned water conservancy facilities near the camp to attract river water to irrigate the farmland near the camp.

He also invented a new type of iron plough, which could be ten times more efficient than manpower if it was attached to large livestock such as cattle and horses.

Although the land in the northern Xinjiang region is fertile, the indigenous people of the Reos plane are very backward in agricultural technology. They do not apply fertilizer or build water conservancy facilities, and even the simplest methods of cultivating fields are primitive methods of slash-and-burn farming.

Here, the people who cultivated the farmland were the lowest serfs, and the serfs had no personal freedom, and of course they would not spend their brains to promote the progress and development of agricultural production.

Don is ready to operate in the Horn Forest for the long term. As a student whose soul came from the Blue Star Rabbit Country, Tang En immediately gave full play to the Rabbit Nation's farming instinct and began to gradually transform this backward camp.

Hopefully, in a hundred years, their camp will become more and more prosperous, and become a big city no less than the Emerald City.

Night has fallen, and people are already dressed up for the annual celebrations.

Although there is no temple here, Don and the others have built an altar, and Lucia temporarily acts as a priest to preside over the sacrifice.

Dozens of bonfires had been set up in the center of the camp, and dozens of fat sheep had been skinned and cramped by Bruce and hung near the campfire, ready to make roast meat.

The sheep's internal organs were preserved, and more than a dozen pots of haggis soup were boiled in a large iron pot.

The delicious lamb's head meat was also placed on the altar and sacrificed to the goddess of ice and snow.

A dozen children, one or two dwarven children, were running happily around the campfire. Although these dwarves are in their teens, they behave like children of several years old because of their slow growth.

Todak staggered over, happily teasing the young children.

He even tricked the children into drinking the liquor he was carrying, making the children cough incessantly on the spot.

Under the loud shouts of the children, Todak grabbed the liquor in the leather bag, dodged the children's attack in disarray, and hurried into a relatively tall wooden house.

By the time Todak arrived, Don and the others had all arrived.

Except for Alex in the supply camp, Jack and Field in Torlo Province, there are a total of thirteen remaining professionals.

Don saw that Todak had arrived, so he smiled and said, "Today is the festival of celebration, and it is also the time for us to pay out the annuity.

Our income this year is very good, although the mercenary group has changed a lot in the first half of the year, but after the autumn, our income has increased greatly.

The first is the income of the new candle, in half a year, the new candle brought us a total of 68 gold coins, of which 30 gold coins belong to the team's public funds, and the remaining eight gold coins are allocated to the bow and arrow team under Bruce, thanking them for their long hunting to provide raw materials, and to transport and sell new candles.

The remaining 40 gold coins are distributed among the trio of the mage group. I borrowed a lot of debts from Marianda, and my share belongs to Marianda.

The second is the income from hunting and selling animal skins, because we have mastered the recipe of nitrate, and the profit of nitrate fur is very high, and the trade income in the last month or two has surpassed that of new candles.

In the past six months, the hide trade has brought us forty-four gold coins, in addition to half of the annuities for the mercenaries, I, Bruce, Jack, Celtic, and Richard have each issued four gold coins, and the remaining four gold coins have been put into the team's public funds.

The second is the smuggling of salt, which also brings us 56 gold coins, 10 of which are added to public funds, except for 11 gold coins for the annuity of the mercenaries.

Of the remaining 35 gold coins, Redno got ten of them, and I, Bruce, John, Jack, and Lucia were each allocated 4 gold coins.

Brand received three, and Alex received two of them in recognition of their efforts to guard the supply camp.

There are still some cultivated fields and the income from the sale of forest specialties is no longer a large amount, a total of nine gold coins, all of which are classified into public funds to distribute a part of the annuity to everyone. ”
