"Goodbye! Good bye! "In the bright sunshine, the newly elected village chief and the villagers waved to the departing archbishop and his party, and after clearing the monastery, they will return to the capital Aronael on the same day, where there is still a lot of heavy work to be done, while the team will remain in the village to carry out the work of redividing the land, livestock, tools, etc., many of the measures that have proven to be effective in the new government areas in the past, such as road leveling, water conservancy, The popularization of agricultural technology knowledge will be carried out one after another on the land controlled by the Great Monastery.

"Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" The archbishop and his entourage also reflexively waved at them from time to time, and it was true that it would have been difficult for them to win so easily without the local villagers taking the lead in spreading the false news and informing them of all kinds of information, including when to pay tribute to the great monastery.

The walls of the great monastery are high and deep, and the water of Lake Sinstri separates it, and there is only a small bridge connecting it to the land, not to mention that although the monks are not familiar with military affairs and have never fought in battle, they have under their command seventy knights and servants of the villages, and their strength is not to be underestimated. If they had prepared in advance, destroyed the small bridge, and closed the bronze gate, the new Neustrian army would not have been able to defeat it, but the price they would have paid would probably be a hundredfold and a thousand times, and at that time, the other forces of the Neustrian church with ambiguous attitudes at both ends of the world would probably spread rumors and stir up trouble with the idea that "the great monastery is blessed by the gods, and the first missionary saints help each other, and no one can do anything about it." Therefore, even if the young archbishop did not take the initiative to ask for help, the original plan of the staff was to give priority to special attacks rather than strong attacks, and of course, his initiative to join in made things easier. And before he could do anything, he used the Pope in his hand to build a big black pot for the Great Abbey - against the king and the government. It's really common in these years, not to mention anything else. Under the command of the emperor, there is a powerful prince Caracas family, "who has always opposed the emperor, whoever is the emperor is against whom" is simply his family's family motto - collusion with the exiled royal family is also nostalgic for the old lord - but if you don't listen to the Pope's instructions, this will not be washed away! Although the real power of the Pope is actually good, but the ordinary people of Neustria don't know wow! The Great Abbey knew this, but their ignorance of the papal instructions was the best excuse for attacking them.

It was also because the new government brought out the pope, who actually had little real power, that the Church Monastery subconsciously regarded the other party as a last resort due to the lack of troops, and relaxed its vigilance, in fact, before that. Luo Yi, the Great Demon King, did not clean up the Great Monastery, and indeed there was a shortage of troops. After all, if you attack the Great Monastery, there will definitely be more than one Grand Monastery that will rebel against it, but now it is different, as the new government actively engages in material and organizational construction, her power has increased exponentially, and at this time, there is no need to pinch the nose of the Grand Monastery.

When the vanguard scouts reached the outlying villages of the Great Abbey, they discovered that the Queen's previous tolerance of ecclesiastical power had another strategic advantage - the villagers of the villages belonging to the Great Abbey saw that the lords of other places had been sent to the cage of power by the new government, and the means of production such as tools, land, and livestock had been redistributed. In addition, some people have distributed improved seeds, popularized agricultural technology, and greatly improved their living standards, and they have long been red-eyed. Now he welcomed the men sent by the new government with a smile of his hand, and he could not wait to sell his old master—none of whom Adair had seen, for he was, after all, a northerner of a foreign race. Mobilizing the masses was a great task for him, so he merely disguised himself as a farmer at the last moment, bowed his head and stooped in the convoy, followed the archbishop to the gate, and rushed in.

So when he finished fighting, killing, killing. After loading carts of gold, silver, treasures, silk and furs from the Great Monastery, and then seeing the nearby villagers cheering and saying goodbye to them and welcoming them to come again, they fell into a state of stupor for a while.

Robbery. He did a lot, robbed the monastery, he did a lot, but after robbing the crowd of passers-by to send off together, and not with bows, arrows and stones, he really hadn't experienced this kind of experience, this feeling ...... It's indescribable......

"What kind of magic is this?" Adair muttered, "They said thank you to us after the robbery......"

"Because we have brought down the great monastery that has been robbing them for many years - and their lives will be better in the future - have we not left them the land, the tools, the vehicles, and the livestock?" The archbishop talked eloquently, he had already answered a lot of similar doubts, anyway, he was on the road at this moment, and he didn't mind explaining to the former pirate leader again.

"Well, that's the last thing I understand, why don't we take the livestock and the vehicles away? That's worth a lot of money, too! ”

"Because these livestock and vehicles are left for them, they can help them increase their production, in layman's terms, pigs are fattened and then killed."

"I still don't get it."

"For example, a farmer, who is now hungry and cold, although we have given him land, how much can he cultivate with a hoe in his strength? If we give him enough to eat, and oxen and ploughs, how much can he cultivate? When he's done farming, it's not too late for us to use the calf, and we might even get the calf. In doing so, it will be easier for him to get more food, and for us, food growth, population growth, more taxes, but not a lot of resistance. ”

"Well......" Adair was silent for a while, the reason was simple, but the premise of this was to eliminate the war, and to ensure that the farmers and livestock would not be robbed by their neighbors before the harvest - in fact, the reason why he led his tribe to the queen's majesty was also for this reason. His tribe was small in number, and it was more than enough to take advantage of the chaos and fragmentation of Neustria, and the princes of various places were divided into different countries, but it was powerless to rule Neustria, he could rob others, but he could not guarantee that he would not be robbed.

And now, Her Majesty, the queen of Neustria, is desperately working in this direction.

As they marched towards Aronael, they could see the conscripted militia and migrant workers along the road. The role of the militia is to guard the place, and they cannot engage the large army head-on, but with them patrolling and reconnoitring with weapons, it is much easier for the regular army to fight the bandits, and it is much more difficult for the bandits to get supplies - the bandits are also human beings, they are not indestructible, and if they have to fight every time they get food, they will soon be exhausted. The role of the migrant workers was to repair roads, build beacon systems, and deliver logistical supplies to the regular army.

Now that the entire country's beacon system has begun to take shape, the military role of the knowledge previously imparted by mobile teachers is now manifested, and even the people who have been temporarily conscripted can burn qualified beacons according to the code book, and use the size and speed of the smoke to indicate the size and number of enemy troops. They are no longer loose populaces who are driven only by whips, they have a good experience of obeying orders.

Although there is only one word difference between active obedience to orders and passive obedience to orders, the difference in efficiency is extremely huge. Taking tax payment as an example, if the peasants voluntarily obey the order, each household will dry a little grain that should be paid and send it to the government, and the government only needs to send someone to count the accounts and issue tax stamps. And if the peasants passively obey the order, they will try to delay the time, let the government send extra people to the countryside to collect the money, and then change the method of mixing water, sand, grain bran and grass seeds into the grain.

Luo Yi was well aware of the passive resistance of the peasants, and when she was a baroness who had just crossed over, she had freed two mill slaves and sent them to mow the grass. But these two slaves, accustomed to working under the whip, threw their sickles away and fell asleep as soon as they were no longer threatened by the whip, and they could be lazy once and for all.

If the entire population of liberated Neustria did the same, the consequences would be chilling. The two slaves who did not work for a day could have been hungry for two days, and the peasants had not worked for a few days without the oppression of their masters and stewards, and the loss of a harvest in Neustria was not a season's harvest, but probably years......

Therefore, after she "liberated" the people of Neustria, she immediately followed up on the construction of basic organizations, and used the construction of water conservancy, roads and other large projects to cultivate the habit of working well without supervision. In this case, people who are lazy and can't do a good job will be marked with key supervision marks, and they will be inspected from time to time, and they will not be made responsible. At the same time, we should use the method of education to cultivate in them the habit of planning and saving for the long term.

These things are very simple to say, but they are really a headache to put into practice, and those slaves and serfs who used to live a day by day, who live a life without a tomorrow all the year round, and some of them have simply degenerated into wild beasts, and they will think of changing meat for food, wine and drink, and they can't change anything in their hands, even if they have just brought them to dig the earth. Later the methods were improved, the most industrious and willing people were promoted from among them as "role models", paired, and the education was targeted at teenagers who were more receptive to the new order than to adults, and decrees were issued restricting the time it was being used to make sake and the time it could be sold. In this way, the production of the whole country finally showed no signs of collapse due to the change in the relations of production, of course, the hard work is needless to say, and then thinking that there were still many bandits making trouble everywhere at that time, so that when Luo Yi remembered this time in the future, he was surprised that he actually supported it.

However, although the head is difficult at first, once it is laid, it is much easier and easier later. When the peasants learned the benefits of obeying the orders of the new government, the new government was able to mobilize an astonishing force to protect her country...... (To be continued......)
