In late spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The western prairie is no longer in sight of the slightest snow white, and the dark green pasture grass has long covered the entire land.

Countless cattle and sheep are like stars scattered in the sky, eating tender grass freely.

Hundreds of thousands of shepherds rode horses across the meadows.

The new year represents new hope.

This year, however, is very different.

The new decree exempted them from most of the taxes on grazing, and the taxes on the sale of cattle and sheep were cut by half, and the other half was borne by the merchants who bought the cattle and sheep.

As a result, the mood of the herders is extremely high, and these taxes save a lot of money so that each family can live a prosperous life within a year.

And many families with a wealthy labor force have signed up to participate in the construction of the new Hammer City. On average, they earned more gold than they herded sheep.

The Demon God blesses Lord Renault.

The shepherds of the present day prayed and blessed in this way before their daily meals.

He brought new hope to the steppe people, and he heard that it would not be long before a very powerful machine, the tractor, would be sold to them.

The grassland people herd sheep and always move with the water and grass, and a large number of materials are transferred by horse-drawn carts. So almost throughout the grazing season, few people go to the city, and they always set out in the spring with enough necessary supplies.

The advantage of a tractor is that it can pull several tons of things at a time, and it can gallop like a horse on the grassland.

Some forward-thinking herders bought tractors in installments and then helped their people buy goods on their behalf, earning a small amount of money.

It's definitely an innovative way to earn money for herders who don't do much except ride horses all day.

And this method is exactly what Renault proposed.

There is no need to eat bread and drink mutton soup every day, and the grassland people can eat fresh vegetables almost every day on the dinner table.

These vegetables were grown by someone who specially cultivated thousands of acres of land outside Iron Hammer City, and it is said that this was also the idea of Lord Renault.

According to people who returned to their tents from the construction site to "visit relatives", Lord Reynolds plans to establish some small towns in the interior of the grassland starting next year.

In this way, the herders do not have to travel to the lake every autumn, but only gather around the town, and naturally there will be merchants who will bring the goods they want, and people will come to collect their cattle and sheep.

The most reassuring thing for them was that there were no more cavalry to feed them. Now the cavalry escort led by Xavier and Yoruba, even if they need cattle and sheep, they buy them at market prices.

Those wolf-like cavalrymen seemed to have turned into docile kittens overnight.

This was something that even the two patriarchs, Xavier and Yoruba, would not dare to imagine before.

Everything in the future is so beautiful.

And these were brought by the man named Renault.

When he led a large army to attack Black Sheep City, many people feared, angry, and even hated him.

Now the herdsmen suddenly understand that they were really stupid at that time.

Renaud is not a demon from hell, he is the messenger of the demon god, and the savior who came to save them!

Fortunately, they didn't follow the troublemakers to force themselves into the limelight, stupidly trying to defend the Black Sheep family, the lord who had exploited them for generations.

Early summer is fast approaching, and the wildflowers are beginning to smell everywhere.

Looking at the cattle and sheep that are getting fatter and stronger day by day, the herdsmen are full of countless expectations for the autumn harvest.

In the evening, the sky was full of sunset.

After the city construction was on the right track, Renault seemed to have nothing to do except for the daily demon spirit cultivation.

He set up a row of makeshift houses by Naxi Lake, and every day, in addition to checking the reports from Black Iron Town, he fished in the lake with Yuxi.

Black Iron Town, Tuke City, and Pine Town, which has just been incorporated into the territory this year, are all developing continuously and steadily.

The bicycles and tricycles produced in Black Iron Town didn't need any sales tactics from Hawkeye Hank at all, and they were sold out as soon as they arrived in the royal capital.

Especially the tricycle, even if it is a cripple, can be ridden in ten minutes.

And the advantage of bicycles and tricycles is that they can be used for years or even decades for the money of half a horse at a time.

No need to feed forage, no sickness, no temper tantrum.

And Hank promised to repair it free of charge within two years, as long as it is not man-made damage.

What people need is a little bit of strength.

This kind of cost-effective thing is simply a welfare that falls from the sky for ordinary people.

For a while, the major businessmen of the royal capital came to Hank, hoping to get the agency rights in some places.

Overnight, the bicycle agents of Black Iron Town almost carved up the entire Oro Continent.

Those who came a step too late beat their chests in front of Hank, and some of them even squeezed out some tears to win sympathy.

In desperation, Hank could only promise them that if there was a new product launched in Black Iron Town, he would notify them in advance, which made these dozens of years old rich people put away their tears and leave happily.

Traveling east with the bicycle is also the "Black Iron Town Daily".

Like bicycles, it appeared for the first time in the royal capital, but it did not have any impact, and it can be said that it is unknown.

Because most people are illiterate, literate people hardly care about the little things that happen in Black Iron Town.

Hank was torn apart by this.

Because among the tasks given to him by Renault, the promotion of newspapers was even more important than the sale of bicycle tricycles.

So he began to run to the aristocratic circle, hoping to use the nobles to promote the atmosphere of reading newspapers in the royal capital, but after half a month, little effect was achieved, although no one ridiculed it, but more people disagreed.

Hank had no choice, racked his brains, and was about to ask Renault for help when a muscular man led the guards to find him.

The second prince Norman.

He had come on behalf of His Majesty the King, precisely for the sake of the newspaper.

One of the most powerful people in the Auro Continent, His Majesty the King began to realize the benefits of newspapers after reading a few issues of the Black Iron Town Daily.

So he asked Norman to take a dozen court scholars, and Hank formed the editorial office of the "Black Iron Town Daily" in the royal capital. What used to be only one newspaper quickly expanded to three. Half of it will be given to His Majesty the King, and Black Iron will be responsible for printing.

As for the profits, His Majesty is very generous not to take a cent.

When this news reached Renault's hands, he immediately sighed in his heart. When it comes to human spirits, there is no one in the world who can compare to His Majesty the King.

It is a well-known fact that selling newspapers does not make money, and even the cost cannot be sold.

The profit of the newspaper lies in advertising, but the current "Black Iron Town Daily" is almost all doing advertising in Black Iron Town, where does the advertising money come from?

His Majesty sent a dozen people, and then helped to publicize it, and sent a few people to read it in the streets and alleys, and it took up half of his pages.

Don't make a good deal.

So Renault decided that he couldn't be so cheap, and he had to get some money back from somewhere else. (To be continued.) )
