As the Ying Zihan who benefited the most this time, he has also been busy these days. First of all, it is necessary to select personnel to govern the territory laid, and now Yang Yuan's integration of military and political affairs is due to insufficient manpower. Of course, we can't do this in the future, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future when the territory is bigger.

Ying Zihan, who was short of manpower, began to recruit people on a large scale in his territory, who could read and write, and who had a skill could sign up, and if he passed, he would get the corresponding position. Of course, if you fail to meet the requirements during your reign, you will be removed. Just when talent recruitment was in full swing, there was news that Viscount Merlin personally led people to Chaoge and wanted to take refuge in Yingzihan. So Ying Zihan had to hand over the matter of manpower recruitment to Yang Xixi to deal with, and then he came to receive Merlin.

Calf Merlin is the eleventh generation of the Merlin family, and their family history is not much shorter than the founding of the Dawn Empire. But there has never been a glorious one, and each generation of family heads can only take over their own territory. However, the lord of this generation, Calf, is unable to complete the business of his ancestors. After seeing Viscount Hall's fate, he worried every day, afraid that one day Ying Zihan would find an excuse and kill him directly. And his territory is now surrounded by Ying Zihan's territory, and he can't escape if he wants to. For him, who didn't have any big ambitions, he had to surrender directly, after all, Reed was not killed now, but he couldn't leave while living in Chaoge, so Calf didn't worry too much about his safety. However, the matter of surrender must be carried out in private, after all, he is still the viscount of the Dawn Empire, and he is not planning to rebel against an earl. It's like the problem of ability and attitude, inability is the same thing, but even the attitude is not right, and it is still very weak.

For Ying Zihan, it is also a good thing to be able to fight the next territory without blood, so he is still more tolerant of Merlin. In the open space in the castle of Asahata, he was given a piece of land for Merlin to build his own mansion, and at the same time ordered that he could take the wealth accumulated by their family with him. But in the future, the Merlin family can only live in Chaoge City, and they can't leave Qindi without special circumstances. Of course, Calf did not dare to resist, and brought people back to the territory and began to move the family to Chaoge.

Now Ying Zihan can really be regarded as a place with a foundation, and now his territory plus the wasteland and newly developed desert in the north already have the area of a small county in ancient times. The population plus the tens of thousands of people plundered by Bai Ling is about 260,000, and there is no problem in establishing a small country in the Western Regions.

Therefore, Ying Zihan still has a little vanity now, and part of the stolen population has been divided equally among the other three territories, especially Reed's territory. Use these people to mix with the local residents to disrupt them, so that there will be no chaos when the time comes. It just so happened that the leaders of the three territories either died or went to Chaoge, and the large tracts of land they left behind were naturally distributed to the new peasants. There are also some people who have been assigned to Qindi, especially in the northern wasteland and the desert green belt. Although the conditions of the wasteland were a little more difficult, Ying Zihan gave them great benefits. They were given as much land as they developed and exempted from taxes for five years, and these conditions were used to settle these people.

Then Ying Zihan took out a drawing of the manufacture of farm tools, and the new farm tools on it can help the farmers to a great extent. It can also provide labor efficiency while reducing the fatigue of farming. As for why it wasn't taken out before, first, it takes a lot of iron to build these farm tools, but there is a shortage of iron to build ordnance, and there is still a surplus of iron, so this matter has not been implemented until now. As for why there is extra iron now, of course, it is because Ying Zihan won the reward of two territories. The iron ore is at the foot of Mount Soria, fortunately less than ten miles away from the pass, and Ying Zihan has now sent people to mine iron ore. As for the labor, of course, it is a goblin, but the consequence is that the construction of the canal may be delayed again. Ying Zihan is now thinking of a way, the goblins in the territory have been caught, but it doesn't mean that there are no goblins elsewhere. So Ying Zihan gave Eno a task to spend money to buy goblins on the mainland. Ying Zihan believes that a large number of laborers will flock to him in the near future. As for the price of buying goblins, Ying Zihan said that he also found a silver mine this time, and he will not be short of money in a short time. What's more, he had made a lot of money in Mogolei County, the Principality of Heilin, before.

During this time, the court of the Dawn Empire was very lively, and a large number of people were criticizing and discussing Ying Zihan's behavior.

The Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ansel, said at the court meeting: "There is no law of kings, it is simply no law of kings." Who gave him the right to declare war on the Principality of Heilin? Didn't he know that in the event of a war, the money spent was equivalent to the accumulation of several years? ”

The minister seconded the proposal, Ying Zihan deliberately provoked a war between the two countries, and the crime was unforgivable. The Imperial Prime Minister Miu Antonio stepped forward and said.

However, someone jumped out and objected: "Your Majesty, although Ying Zihan provoked a war between the two countries, it was the Heilin Principality that had the precedence, and Ying Zihan should have merit in defeating the other party." The minister thinks that Ying Zihan should be rewarded to show the majesty of my Dawn Empire. ”

"Yes, the minister thinks that Earl Yingzihan should be commended, and at the same time warn the Duchy of Heilin, even a Duchy dares to provoke the majesty of my empire, it is simply not a good thing. ”

Suddenly, all kinds of voices came out in the court, but no one talked about Ying Zihan's occupation of the other lords' consulates. Viscount Hall died of illness, and Ying Zihan, as the minister of the north, naturally had the right to manage his territory. Reed even died by himself, if he hadn't taken the initiative to send troops to attack Ying Zihan, how could he have been occupied by someone. And the most important thing is that these things are nothing compared to the fact that the two countries are at war. What needs to be solved now is the problem between the Empire, Ying Zihan and the Heilin Principality.

However, the ending seems to be doomed, first of all, it is impossible for the Dawn Empire to submit to the Heilin Principality, so Ying Zihan, who is cannon fodder, will not be able to move for the time being. And there are quite a few people in the imperial court who want the Dawn Empire and the Heilin Principality to go to war, whether it is for the dignity of the empire or for other reasons. Therefore, the voice of wanting to punish Yingzihan was almost suppressed. Originally, the military department should have spoken the most on this matter, but Ying Zihan's father, Prince Stoker, has not expressed his position, and Prince Stoke has a lot of say in the military department. So the military bigwigs shut up one after another and didn't talk about it, and the matter was stopped in the end, and it was temporarily suppressed. However, the premise is that Ying Zihan can gain an advantage in the next war against the Heilin Principality, otherwise I am afraid that someone will jump out to do something.
