Once the military plan for the expedition (as it is claimed internally) was formulated, the entire Neustrian kingdom and the new government were mobilized - perhaps, "the whole" was an exaggeration, because no general mobilization order was issued, but the relevant departments and manpower involved in this mobilization were indeed not in the memory of the old people.

In the past, although the entire Neustrian kingdom was nominally subordinate to the orthodox king, in fact, the king could really govern the land, mobilize manpower and materials, and even the nobles directly under the royal family like Barony Brad provided the king with a certain number of service soldiers every year, and only served the king for forty days. This was not because Baron Bullard was disobedient to the king, but because he also needed to be armed to protect the land from his arrogant and lawless neighbors. As for the powerful nobles, or the powerful princes such as the Duke of Ulrich, the king had to look at their faces, not to mention the troops provided to the king as they pleased, and it was a great luck not to turn against the king on the battlefield.

It is difficult for Chinese to imagine such a situation, but in Orthodox countries such as Neustria, it is extremely common. Although the royal family of Neustria was already very weak in Luo Yi's opinion, it was not the weakest among the nations, because the nobles everywhere still swore allegiance to the royal family as usual, and whether or not they actually did what they oathed, they finally recognized that nominally they should obey the legitimate king, and also allowed the king to adjudicate matters between them and collect legal fees, and in some countries where the royal power was weaker, the powerful princes said "Oh" to the king. There is such a person", they have their own small court. He will go to war or negotiate peace with whichever country he wants, and he never knows what the king is doing. There were even court governors who saw the royal family weakening. and put the crown of the orphan on his head. The kings naturally hated this situation, but since they could not control the nobles under their control, the manpower and materials they could use were limited, and since the manpower and materials they could use were limited, they could not resist the pirates who invaded the countries, and since they could not resist the pirates, the commoners and even the small and medium-sized nobles abandoned the royal family one after another and took refuge in the powerful local separatist nobles, and this vicious circle made the nations even more fragmented, and small countries and de facto small countries were everywhere. Legal vacuums and robber knights appeared everywhere, disrupting trade routes and further regressing in manpower and materials.

And now, after a series of previous actions to punish bandits and distribute the land of traitorous nobles, the land controlled by the Great Demon King Luo Yi and the accompanying human and other material resources have greatly exceeded what the original orthodox royal family could mobilize. The great nobles who could have resisted the central government were overthrown, and their manpower could be used by the central government, and individual peasants did not have the resources, connections, and power to disobey the state like the big landlords. What's more, they have all seen with their own eyes that even the "master" has been defeated, so they don't think they can resist, and besides, the new government has indeed given them a lot of benefits......

At this time. The organizational work and road repairs that have been done earlier show their strength. The peasants, accustomed to reading government notices and following the instructions from above, went to a certain place to take part in the construction of canals or roads, and now put up notices telling them to transport grain to designated places. There was no need to send any overseers or messengers to urge them, they just delivered them themselves. The government only needs to send someone to inspect and inspect it. And because the road is smooth, there are no robbers of the road. Therefore, the work of transporting grain to the designated place in this way was not a problem for the peasants, and the amount of money collected did not cause them to starve because of the increase in grain production.

At the same time, much of the work of making military supplies was also distributed by the government, and the peasants who transported the grain were immediately given the task of making clothing, weapons, collecting goose feathers, etc., and took these jobs home and did them in the fields, morning and evening.

"It's unprecedented." The villagers of Barbado told the red-haired former trainee nun Grirrel that although there had been a nationwide mobilization order before, they had never left their master's territory, because Count Edwa, as a noble, had only symbolically sent a hundred soldiers to the king. Now, in the village of Barbado alone, thirty people are involved in the task of transporting food, and even more are involved in collecting goose feathers, in addition to fifteen people who have been ordered to participate in the training and selection of the militia. They were both surprised and curious about this mobilization.

"yes, it's all new!" "Before, we had to wait for the enemy to hit us before we hurriedly counterattacked, but now it's different!" We're going to destroy the enemy's lair before they attack! So that they can't even set foot on the land of Neustria! ”

"Ah, ah, that's for the best." In fact, the older villagers had only a vague impression of "Neustria", and they did not even know whether the "Neustria" in the mouth of the red-haired girl was a sacred church or a great town, but this did not prevent them from agreeing with the girl's words, because she was now very authoritative among the children, and the young people often asked her about new things, such as new tools and new jobs. They listened to and admired her, not because they understood the abstract things she said, but because they recognized her as a person, and therefore the qiē she represented, a pattern that was common under the new government, and in fact, Grirrell herself joined because she was given a new lease of life under the new government, and could choose her own work according to her own ideas rather than be bartered for marriage.

While the red-haired Probationary was preaching in the fields, His Excellency the Venerable Archbishop was drafting a decree of rebuke for the Pope, which, of course, the Pope himself knew nothing about, but His Excellency the Archbishop felt that he had done enough in the Church to worry about such trivial matters, so he wrote it for him, and sent it to the convent in his name.

One can imagine how angry the abbot and his men were when they received this declaration!

"Dissolve the rebellious monastery on the same day, and all the staff will immediately submit to the royal government's ruling?" (To be continued......)
