021. Duchess of Mikawa

The second night, Bran still spent the night.

He took a closer look at the landscape and called Alan over.

In a greenhouse, it was temporarily used as the highest administrative center of Milan.

Bran intends to train Alan and let him preside.

In addition to Bran, the five major departments of the general administration all came.

Heard was there too.

When he saw so many Judits gathered, he had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.

He went back and forth between Rome and Milan many times, and he knew very well what the Judites would treat.

But Bran didn't let himself lead these people, he couldn't talk too much, and when the deputies of the five ministers arrived, Allen's body trembled a little.

The deputy of the Academy, a priest from the Order of Illusions in Milan, was angry and unceremonious towards Brandau.

"Your Highness, these are the believers of Satan, the Gospel of Ang of Juta, chapter 3, subsection 9......"

This verse mentions that Satan is not only evil, but also purifying, and will do good to the blessed.

Bran helped him finish the second half of the sentence.

Satan, who is considered a fallen by the Illuminatis, has a more neutral view of the Juta Sutra, and these fanatics can't help but be able to resist this alone.

After Chaisubara, they persecuted them violently, and when they survived, they all claimed to have heard the voice of Christ.

Convinced that he had been chosen by God, the priest was even more reluctant to listen to Bran's plan to build a town.

But Fernando told the priests in Milan that the overall situation is important, and when there is a rush, it is necessary to talk about it.

The priest did not want to confront Bran, so he proposed, "Your Highness, since all these people are going to live here, the church, the altar, and the cross at the center must be built first, so that they may be lost." ”

It was nothing, but it was unacceptable to the Judas.

In this era, when the aristocracy built a town, there were often two buildings in the center.

One is the magistrate's hall and the other is the church.

This is how the road network was created, and then spread out regularly.

If churches and halls are the heart, then the other roads are the blood vessels, and the towns built in this way are orderly and centered on faith and lordship.

Moreover, it is an unwritten rule that man cannot be higher than God, so all places where people live are generally not higher than churches, unless it is a lord's palace.

Over time, when the people see such a magnificent church, their hearts will increase in their devotion day by day.

What the priest was thinking, Bran knew.

It was impossible to build it like this, what he wanted to do was to use hundreds of thousands of Judits for his own use and help him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

However, before it was time to clash with the Illusion Order, Bran pretended to agree.

Since Bran was relieved, the priest was relieved, and the others were also relieved, otherwise there would have been a real quarrel, and their hearts would have been biased towards what the priest said.

Alan cleared his throat and said as the principal, "Your Highness has already said that this is the first wave, and there will be a second wave in a month, and we will turn David Village into a town in the fastest time."

If all the arable land here is cultivated, it will be enough for the daily needs of 2,000 people. But after that, we will definitely not be satisfied, we have to import from outside, so these places have to build roads......"

Unlike rural areas, towns have other industries, so it is impossible to use all of them for arable land.

Among the Jutas, there are craftsmen and merchants, and Bran should make good use of them.

David was one of the ancient sages among the Judits and a hero king recognized by the Illuminati.

The name is considered to be both sides of the offense, and it was chosen by Bran himself.

Alan stammered at first, but then stabilized his aura.

He has been educated by aristocratic talents since he was a child, and his eloquence is naturally not bad.

He compared it to a large map, "Importing food from places like the town of Latan and exchanging it for handicrafts made in David's town, marking the occupations and expertise of the townspeople."

I had not slept all night the previous day, and I had come into contact with the leaders of their order, who had been working as laborers in their youth, such as watermen, porters, stonemasons, cleaners, etc.

But now they are all old and weak, so let them help with some wool work, as well as cleaning, slaughtering and other occupations in Milan.

When the second wave came, there were bakers, scribes, apprentices, silversmiths, etc. A new assignment is made. ”

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

All the deputies were not so much agreeing with Allen as they were looking at Bran's face.

"I ask Your Excellency Heard to assist me in the financial department, and in the construction of the town, I want two hundred strong laborers, and here I ask the military department to assist me."

After Allen discussed the plan with everyone, it was approved by applause.

Bran lifted the shed and looked out.

It had rained a little in the morning, the ground was still a little damp, and he smelled of the earth, and Bran wondered what would become of the town.

The soul from his previous life made him anxious and quick when he wanted to accomplish something.

On the third night, Bran still didn't leave, and the next morning, Bran woke up early, and he was woken up.

Yesterday Alan had already announced the construction plan in public, and divided the thousand Judits into ten hundred teams.

Each of the hundred teams, in coordination with the leaders of the Juta Order, assigned the task by the officials of Milan and the head of the Juta Order.

If it rains heavily, the shack will not be able to live in people, so they have to build a house first.

Stone and timber were brought from the north of the Milanese territory.

Houses, squares (markets), government halls, and churches were built on a priority basis.

From this day on, the whole town of David was dusty all day long, but the faces of the Judits were happy.

Barns, ironware shops, wells, etc., were to be built slowly.

When Pera saw Bran's sincerity, she negotiated with the rest of the Order and took out the remaining money to trade it for Milan.

This has led to a much faster reconstruction.

Thousands of people eat and drink, and they can't always carry food from outside.

Bran brought the processed grain to the town of David, and Bran made an IOU to help the Judits to carry it.

On the fifteenth day of Bran's return to the High Court Palace.

At dinner that day, he called his men to report.

An intelligence officer said, "Your Highness, according to your health decree, the Judits are forbidden to defiscate in the nearby rivers, and six artificial wells have been dug so far, and the supply and demand are basically at a minimum. ”

Bran's Duchy of Milan, from which his concept of hygiene spread out from the estate, slowly affected the whole country.

Far more than any other town of its time.

"Listen, every household has to build a manure tank, and after an emergency, use a cleaner to deal with it intensively, pull it to a fixed place to bury, or apply fertilizer. I will not allow the plague and other diseases to appear.

There must be people injured in the construction of the town, and in terms of medical treatment, the doctor who went with me explained that it is forbidden to castrate the blood at every turn.

Also, tell Alan that they are allowed to pray, but only in their own homes after the house is built.

In the field of education, I will send teachers from Milan, and the teaching materials must be made by ourselves, and all knowledge will be the same as in Milan except theology.

Bran sent heavily armed soldiers to watch, forbidding brawls, stealing, etc.

But there is a gray industry that Bran can't help but can't forbid.

A woman who has no husband and children to rely on, and no livelihood skills, can only survive by selling something.

Although it violates the seven virtues of the Church, no monarch can eradicate it.

In the meantime, letters of advice from the domestic aristocracy piled up like snowflakes.

Bran and Zoe ate as they listened to his men read the letters.

When he finished eating, and his men still had a few letters in their hands, Bran said, "Burn it to keep warm." ”

In the second month of the Juditan's entry, Bran himself went again.

For thirty days, in addition to eating and sleeping, everyone in the town worked hard, and even Alan went down to help.

A wooden church has begun to take shape.

The Judite church looks very similar to the Illuminati, so Bran has an eye on it.

He told Pera that this was the church of Juta. Tell the Phantom Priest that it's the Cult of Light, and tell the craftsman to cover the outer body first, then slow down.

This church, Bran will let it exist in five years, and he is confident that by then, his territory and prestige must be very strong, and he wants this church to be whatever religion it is.

Some of the roads, which were originally difficult to move, were paved with gravel and were able to pass through the carriages quickly.

In a few rooms that have been built, a dozen children are learning the Juta script.

But after a while, they will also have to learn Italian.

Bran said to a scholar beside him, "After you compile it, show it to me, and remember that the first sentence of education is the way to write the surname Chaman. ”

Bran walked casually.

Dust quickly flew up to his body, staining his black suit.

At this time, Bran also saw that the clothes of the Judites were not very pleasant, and they were mostly black.

It occurred to Bran that he had forgotten something.

The Judites were not allowed to use several pigments, with black and gray being their main colors.

Bran can be said to love it, but they wear it as a kind of forced discrimination.

Bran called Eren and told him to follow him through the Jutas.

In an unquestionable voice, he said, "When the ban is lifted, they can wear whatever they want, Milan is one of the big countries in textiles, and they can wear whatever the people wear." ”

The word spread throughout the camp that night.

Even if it was acting, Bran was very good to them Juta, and he was no different from Milanese.

And Bran watched their every move, and when Bran heard the intelligence officers say that some of the Judits had begun to pray for him, his heart was happy.

The collection began to succeed.

In the second month, another thousand men were brought from Eastern Europe and Venice.

Among this group of people, there are some talents, scholars, lawyers, swordsmen, etc.

It's not enough to feed these people, and although they will be grateful, they won't necessarily be desperate to do things for you.

You also have to give them hope to rise and eventually make them noble.

These Judits must have had a lot of talent, and Bran decided to hold a jousting tournament, along with other exams.

Get them into the five governing departments.

The resistance to this decision has never been greater.

When Bran just threw out this idea first, he saw the power of the crowd's rebound, and he had a bottom in his heart.

But it doesn't matter, once he knows the bottom line of everyone, he can slowly let the bottom line of his subordinates drop, because he is the sovereign, and it is impossible for his subordinates to break himself.

When the second group of immigrants arrived, it was also Pera who led the team.

The woman's husband, who had been a banker in Venice and the chief of the Juttas in the area, died of illness, and his wife carried on his wish to seek peace for the Judists.

This time she returned to Milan and began to stay behind to help rebuild.

At the same time she brought with her a large chest of gold.

This was a loan from hundreds of thousands of Judits scattered among the people who had gathered together to give Bran.

It's not that they don't want to arm themselves with the money, but they have a limited population, they are spread over many places, and they can't recruit mercenaries.

Although he relied on business activities such as borrowing and lending, he accumulated wealth, but he could not keep it.

The money that Bran and Pera borrowed was repaid over twelve years, and the interest was offset by their living expenses.

With this money, Bran can pay off most of the arrears first, or use it for armaments and production.

The former is stable, the latter is fast.

Bran chose the latter, if he repaid his debts, then he had no money in his hands, it was inconvenient to do anything, and in the event of war, he did not have to reraise funds.

Bran paid off the interest for a year in advance, and the rest was used to train the White Dragonguard, develop gunpowder, and invest in the Hanseatic League.

As long as he survives this strapped year, Bran will be able to turn his finances into a profit from next year.

While he developed his influence in Milan, he also paid attention to the movements of various countries.

The mission sent to the Franks, which has sent a reply, is currently in Paris.

This time I went there and it was very dangerous.

Because of the grudge with the Duke of Leon, although there is no direct evidence from the Leon side, there are also some rumors, and the envoy sent by Bran may be detained.

Therefore, Bran asked the envoys to bring a good paperwork, which was very humble in wording, and even proposed to be protected by the Frankish emperor.

Franks and Milan are far away, from Paris to Milan, it takes two months to go back and forth.

Bran didn't really plan to cling to him, he just wanted Frank to lower his defenses.

During this time, Bran received information about the people of Trois-Rivières.

I don't know why, there are many lords around the peninsula, but every time Bran hears the name Mikawa, his heart is touched.

This young fox of the Three Rivers seems to be a stumbling block in his future.

The information he heard this time did not allow Bran to ignore it.

"Your Highness, Edvina has become the military governor of King Sehir of Greece."

A traitor who forcibly seized his own island of Crete, Shehir also gave him the title of Governor of the Kingdom.

Bran made an evaluation in his heart, the bloodline of giants will be finished in the future.

"What else?"

"What's more, Edwin will also marry a daughter of the Purple Chamber as a legal wife......"

Bran wrote down the woman's name.

Later, when it was time to eat, Bran asked his wife.

His wife's lips made it all clear.

This woman is a famous beauty in Junbao, and legend has it that she is the illegitimate daughter of Ashurclay, and her famous father is Ashuclay's cousin.

In terms of blood kinship, he can also get involved with Zoe.

In other words, if the relationship between the two wives is counted, they are all relatives.

Since it was an old watch, Bran immediately asked someone to write a congratulatory letter and send it to Mikawa.

The letter drifted through the sea, and after sixteen days, when it came to Edwin's possession, his new wife arrived on the same day.

Edwin is now seventeen years old, and his wife is two years older than him.

With both beauty and blood, Edwin is very satisfied.

But the wife was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that this younger brother, whom she had once laughed at in Junbao, had now climbed on top of her and become her husband.

Along the way, this beauty has a straight face.
