In Jason's view, the superior does not need to hold the power tightly in his hands, and even everything has to be done by himself, and there are not a few famous emperors who have died because of hard work in history.

He didn't think that after awakening his supernatural powers, his body would become iron.

Extraordinary powerhouses can also feel tired, and there will be times when they are exhausted, and there will be times when they reach their limits, so in his opinion, mastering the art of mastering the art of mastering people is much more important than keeping an eye on those powers.

Of course, so far, Jason's mastery is not mature, and he relies more on the loyalty of Lancelot and others.

In places that other Lancelot and others can't manage, he will put people from two different camps together to control each other, but this method is actually mediocre.

So Jason's path to take and everything to learn is not enough.

It's just that now he pays more attention to civilians in the fields and soldiers in the barracks.

If we win the hearts and minds of the people, we will be able to implement some of our policies smoothly and steadily, and with the army, we will not be afraid of evil spirits with ill-intentioned internal intentions and external enemies.

Therefore, Jason has been governing his territory according to this standard, and using the interests of the Chamber of Commerce to envelop the nobles, while at the same time weakening the military power of the nobles.

This made the noble lords entangled, because they could get a lot of money by following Jason's policies, but after joining Jason's side, they would be controlled by the envoys he sent to control the power in the territory.

Moreover, the laws in the Iron Fang Collar and the nearby territories that have been subjugated to Jason have become more and more stringent and perfect, and civilians who used to be free to kill at will are now protected by the law.

The most obvious effect of this legal improvement was that they found that the population of their territory began to grow gradually, mostly due to the influx of displaced people from other regions, since the north was the relatively stable area of Lopez.

Before Lopez ruled the Northlands, it was sparsely populated and infested with wild beasts, and the only people who could survive here were the strong, powerful, and hunter-gatherers.

After Lopez ruled the land, he found that it was rich in minerals, especially iron ore.

At that time, Lopez had not been a young country, there was not much energy to mine, and the country was in turmoil and surrounded by strong foreign enemies.

The founding king of Lopez reluctantly gave some of them to some nobles and even merchants in the form of outsourcing, in exchange for a large amount of materials to stabilize the domestic situation.

However, it also led to other industries in the north and attracted a large number of merchants.

So it was prosperous for quite some time, and during that time there were a lot of wealthy merchants in the north, and the most prosperous scale was not even weaker than the Kyle family today.

However, the good times did not last long, and after a few decades, the mineral resources in the north gradually dried up, and the situation of the Lopez Kingdom was stable, and the military power was unprecedented, but the years of conquest left the country's coffers somewhat empty.

So these fattened merchants were targeted, and the king at that time found an excuse very casually to squeeze their family property clean, and even some unruly merchants were actually trampled by the army.

The once prosperous northern wealthy merchants actually withdrew from the stage of history in such a dramatic way, and the north gradually declined.

A hundred years later, it has turned from the center of the kingdom into a barren and bitter cold place, and only those nobles who are not valued will be divided here.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the living conditions of the local people, except for those large towns, it is common for civilians to not have enough to eat.

It is not uncommon to sell their children into the homes of the wealthy for a pitiful amount of money or even food, and in winter there are not a few people who do not have the money to buy enough charcoal for heating and food and die of starvation.

As the northernmost territory of Lopez, the Iron Fang Territory is certainly not in much better shape here, and it can even be called one of the most difficult territories.

Before Jason's arrival, the nobles here had never cared about the lives of commoners, and Sir Auchi had raised the tax rate to an outrageous height.

As a result, the Iron Tooth Collar has suffered a severe loss of population, and agriculture and the economy have become fragile to the point that they could collapse at any moment.

The army is even more vulnerable, most of them are cobbled together by farmers and hunters, and their combat effectiveness and cohesion are almost negligible in the face of those real armies.

And since Jason took over the Iron Fang, the first action has been to abolish the cumbersome and heavy taxes, reformulate the tax rate, and reuse the wealth that Sir Auchi has looted for so many years to build the territory.

He vigorously supported the handicraft industry characteristic of the Northland, because he found that the aristocracy of this world valued the land and local specialty resources more than the handicrafts that could be made more profitable after simple processing.

Perhaps they felt that they would invest a lot of money in the construction of handicrafts, and it was better to use the money for military construction, the kingdom of Lopez was still martial, so in the eyes of the lords, the army was the foundation of their survival.

Jason then built water conservancy, focusing on agriculture, and now the slow-turning waterwheel on the outskirts of Iron Tooth and the canal that shuttles through the fields are testament to his merits, which has raised his popularity among the commoners of the realm to a terrifying height.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jason's control of the Iron Tooth Collar has now reached a peak.

Here, anyone who talks about Jason will say with respect from the bottom of his heart, respectfully, "That's our savior." ”

Moreover, Jason's reputation among the commoners has gradually spread to the surrounding territories around Irontooth Town, and they are all sighing why the lord is not their lord, which makes those lords and nobles very worried.

As a result, they began to learn from Jason to treat his people well, and to support civilian commerce and agriculture, and the entire northern province of Lucca was thriving.

..................................................................

Two months later, Jason arrived early at the top of the castle and looked out at the northern road in the morning light.

He was draped in a thick robe, and even though it was almost spring, the morning in the north was still a little cool.

Last night, he received information that Ranmarok had escorted the Qingxin Stone brought back by the ice field out of the bitter cold ice field, and Hassan stood quietly behind him.

In the distance in the town square, a team of carriages was waiting quietly, it was the convoy of the Kyle Family Chamber of Commerce, they had already arrived half a month ago, because this trade in the Qingxin Stone Mine would bring them tens of thousands of gold coins.
