Since the entire village fort was badly damaged and basically abandoned, Oran had his troops stationed outside the village for a final rest.

Before attacking the sixth village fort, he asked Claydon to command another force, the remnants of Earl's castle, to the northwest.

The original plan was for this force to be besieged from behind by Orlan when they attacked the sixth village fort.

Orlan tells Claydon to contact Harman.

In order to prevent chaos, Grim and Armand will lead people to follow behind Claydon.

But Sally continued to stay by Orlan's side and control the woman so that Claydon would not have two minds and faithfully carry out his plan.

Oran's body broke through, he was a little uncomfortable, and he rested alone after the order.

That night, Sally was brought into his main tent, and the blanket on the wooden table was filled with food.

"In a day or two, you will be free, and there will be peace in the realm."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency."

"As a lord, my subordinates only fight every day, or oppress their people, and have little common topic, I want to talk to you, if you are hungry, you can eat as much as you want."

Sally didn't expect Orlan to talk about this, nodded her head, and ate dinner as she sided.

"I have read all the logs of governance in your castle, and there are fifty-five knights and knights combined, and sixty-two percent of the land has been divided, and the number of the people in general should be more than 12,400, and the main taxes come from farming, forests, animal husbandry, three quarries, and the fishing of the lords in the open sea to the east, and some scattered foreign trade.

Trade is mainly with neighboring lords.

Due to the destruction of churches and churches in the territory by the previous Viking invasions, the number of priests left behind is not large, and it can be basically ignored.

If the last two village forts were to be recovered, they would send men to the mountains on the northern border to mine the stones, where there was a little iron ore, but it had been mined for a hundred and seventy years, and the stock was almost depleted, and the labor cost was somewhat high.

If it weren't for Benber keeping the central town, the county would be a ruined county for decades to come.

In this unrest, the arable fields were also damaged by four-in-two.

Fifty percent of the population was lost, Benbo migrated thirty percent, and two percent were scattered.

This is the state of Jeree County right now. ”

Hearing this, Sally ate a few bites, and then couldn't eat anymore, this is not a cold number of attrition, but a scene of broken people in every family.

"Backward, desolate, dilapidated, this is the land we are standing on now, and this table of food may be the precious food that a peasant family will never be able to eat in a lifetime."

Oran hummed a country song composed by an unknown poet.

"In the spring of January, when the forest is revived, and in February the flowers bloom, I take the axe and bow to hunt, and the prey of the beast is given to the lord, and the scars remain, and the weave in March, and the trees are pruned in April, and the land is prepared, and the weeds are removed, and the harvest is harvested until September, and then the grazing, and the slaughter, and the labor, and the toil of the year, and I wish that one day I could open my belly, and the lord has mercy on me, that I will fill it with food."

Oran half-hummed and half-recited the song, and added, "Even if Benber drives out the Vikings, it will be difficult to restore them, and it will take a period of pain." ”

There is no soft, arrogant, cruel side to his eyes.

Just like the first time Sally met her at the castle dinner, she was polite and kind-hearted.

Oran's eyes were clear, his facial features were handsome, and if it weren't for this series of intrusions, Sally thought that she might have been stunned by this nonsense.

However, since Orlan is talking about the topic of governing the territory and improving the livelihood of the territory, it is okay to discuss it.

"When I was a child, in my father's study, I read stories from more than 100 years ago, and there was a glorious period in the land where we lived.

Irish monks brought Celtic art and musical instruments,

St. "Bede" wrote the "History of the Church of England",

Many poets wrote poetry in English, writing all kinds of literary stories and poems.

Etiquette spreads among the nobles and villagers, and when people collide on the side of the road, they don't look at each other angrily.

Everywhere the land is full of crops, even enough to be exported.

Animal husbandry is also very developed, leather, silver, and even "labor" are exported,

Sally changed the word "slave" to "labor" to conceal a sinful fact.

Speaking of this, Sally paused and glanced at Oran.

Orlan understood and let him continue.

Sally continued, "Frankish and Danish cargo ships came from the ports of the North Sea, laden with oil, luxuries, paper, stationery, iron and swords, kings and bishops, and even minted gold and silver coins for circulation.

And all this requires a strong kingdom based on military backing.

800 years after the main calendar, the Danish Vikings invaded, and the people of the kingdom who were not captured as slaves fled, and now the population of the eight counties of the kingdom is less than 30% of a hundred years ago and 60% of 50 years ago. ”

In the heyday, if you still can't fight against the Vikings, then you should adopt a new system of governance.

I think there are three main points, the interior, the military, and the religious aspect. ”

Sally said as she noticed Oran's reaction.

Since he can't defeat and falls into the hands of Orlan, join his camp and plot to follow.

Although Oran said that she married herself to "Claydon", she felt that Orlan should be interesting to herself?

Even if she didn't, she had to find a way to increase her weight in Oran's heart.

As long as you don't admit defeat, there will always be a day to turn the tables around.

"Very good, what you said is the same as what Benbo thinks, there must be a reform of internal affairs, so Benbo set up a guild to encourage all kinds of craftsmen and crafts, and now it is only the initial stage, but with the increase in population, the number of talents will definitely increase exponentially, and all kinds of objects that are beneficial to the people's livelihood will be made.

The second is military restructuring.

Benber wanted to use knight-led tactics, supplemented by longbowmen, and I had the blacksmith create a "barrel helmet" that could be protected against masks. ”

With that, Orlan took out something that resembled a small bucket of iron.

"This is the latest masterpiece made by the craftsman, with a cover on the head and an expansion seam at the eye to make it easy to see foreign objects.

For each Hospitaller, I will wear a suit of one-piece chain mail and a cloak to keep the armor from getting hot when the temperature is too high, and the size of the rifle and shield in my hand will also be improved. ”

Orlan opened another chest, which contained an inverted triangular shield.

This is the "iris shield" with a buckle inside that can be held,

When the knight initiates a charge, he can hold the shield in one hand and operate the reins in the other.

The length is moderate, covering the chest to the abdomen, as well as the area of the legs.

It's a pity that most of the resources such as iron and copper are not in my hands, and there are a lot of them in the south, but they are mostly controlled by Mercia and Wessex, and the prices are extremely high, and it has become more and more difficult to import from the Franks recently.

The Vikings occupied almost the entire Northern Sea Passage, and they were a bunch of madmen who would not die to their deaths. ”

Oran put his shield back and said, "These madmen have been brainwashed by their priests and the god Odin, and this is a matter of faith

I and my subordinate Kunsang were both forced to visit the Vikings, and I only went to the border between Frankville and Denmark, and in less than a hundred days, he went for nearly ten years.

In winter, most of the crops in the area will freeze to death, and people can only hunt and fish.

But even that, it can't support the growing population.

They were desperate to create people and procreate, so that the barbaric tradition of "jot" prevailed among them, and a small matter could kill a man, so that the barren land could feed the rest.

They despise cowards, and every time they act, out of a thousand, eight hundred can fight, and eight hundred are pulled out,

has no concept of life and death, just wants to forcibly take the property back,

Once he dies in battle, he still sleeps on himself, and he can go to Valhalla, and there are countless Valkyries to sleep with,

Such courage and courage made the kings of England, accustomed to a comfortable life, powerless,

But you see, some of the Vikings who invaded the island, the settlements of the Smon, the Golden Fang, the Haman.

Greedy for the warmth of the new land, even if surrounded by strong enemies, they must stay here, and there are even Vikings who are willing to convert.

People are all concerned about practical interests, as long as their lords know that it is "convenient" to control their subordinates, and it will not happen, and when the tribal assembly is opened, they will be challenged by the lords of other regions or free people, and thus lose their territory, they will encourage their subordinates to convert.

I've already figured out who to choose, Haman's group, and I'll keep a few of them to help me govern the Vikings, maximize their value, and send them to Valhalla. ”

"Is that really the case?" Sally had seen the Vikings' devotion to the god Odin, and some did not believe it.

The Bible says, "Love our Lord," and we have only one Lord, and in those Sagas verses of the Vikings, there are those that sing the praises of Odin, Thor, and even other gods.

I looked up a lot of information about the Vikings and saw it in an ancient manuscript.

When Ragnar and Rollo invaded the Franks, there was an incident in which the King wanted to pay a ransom, but when he negotiated with Ragnar and Rollo, the leaders of other different tribes and gods of the Aesir gods were still not happy to stop fighting.

robbed everywhere, and robbed for another eight days before it was finished.

Although the heavens are wide and there is only one sun, and although the kingdom is large enough to hold only one crown, there can only be one holy voice in the world of the gods, so that the rulers of the highest level can control and restrain their subordinates with dogma.

As long as the doctrine is changed so that the Vikings feel that God has a better interest and that it is difficult to win over us, they will soon be integrated into the Catholic world.

That's why my Knights Hospitaller was built.

I'm going to use the Vikings as a starting step to strengthen its reputation and influence, and then I'm going to send a letter to the city of Rome and buy it off so that the Holy See will recognize me as a military legion and give it the title of "Knights Hospitaller".

I can do more with it.

Whoever disobeys me, Ben will make him a heretic!"

Oran portrays faith as a naked, controlling tool, much to Sally's disgust.

On second thought, if Orlan could kill people in a church in Dan, change the scriptures at will, and create nondescript hymns to praise himself, what else could he not do?

Oran's eyebrows fluttered, and Sally's heart was as cold as frost.

"Fall, do the fall again...... I can kill this devil. ”

Sally looked at Oran's back and moved four steps, but Orlan suddenly turned around!

“!”

"What's wrong with you?"

Oran walked over and slowly stretched out his hand, Sally's first reaction was to think of the last time, the picture of Oran forcibly pushing himself down the wall, and she was afraid.

Knock.

Orlan just patted it lightly, placing his right hand on his right shoulder, and then his left hand wandered away from Sally's face.

"Your Excellency?"

"After hearing Bemb's secret, will you join me in building a kingdom that is "my lord"?"

"Lord?"

"The Most High Lord."

In the past few days, Oran feels that Sally is better than Adesha, and she can help herself a lot.

Coupled with the twisting of his body caused by the increase in reaction just now, he was very happy, and he wanted to forgive Sally for a while.

But Oran's gentleness only scared Sally, the last time Oran pushed him down in the cold, this time he touched himself warmly, and people's personalities don't change so quickly.

That can only be a pretended calculation.

What does this man want to do?

The sheer fear left Sally speechless for a moment.

Oran kissed Sally at the end, feeling the kiss on a stiff piece of wood, and losing interest.

But she still smiled, and let her out.

Orlan couldn't finish all of this food, so he called out to the guards outside to escort his Titans in.

The little fat man is always full of appetite, and this is why Oran sometimes likes to call him in.

Seeing him take one bite after another, the cake in his hand became a little more fragrant for a moment.

"Earlier, I made you know a certain number of words, and rewarded you as a trainee knight, you have already done it, and you have read a lot of books, tell me, what books have you read recently?"

Grunt, Titan hurriedly swallowed a sip of water, patted his chest and said, "What to see." ”

"Ever read those love poems written by bards?"

"Yes."

"You say, what do you think is a good love?"

Orlan asked casually, still thinking about what to do with Sally.

"I want to give her what I eat, and I want to give her what I drink."

"Very good explanation, then what emotion do you think is not lost to love, or even more lasting?"

"Hatred, he turned a coward into a warrior." The Titan didn't think much of it, blurting out the words he saw in the book.

Chuken is almost dead, and Earl will also die, leaving the enemy's daughter by his side and asking for trouble.

Adesha can still keep because she has no blood feud with herself, and if she does, she will die.

On the side of the couch, how can you tolerate the enemy?

These women are playthings.

I made a big mistake just now, and at this time, I even had a branch!

After Oran figured it out, he looked at the Titan with a smile, "You're right, these foods are all yours, take them out, and also, you are also old enough to start a family, and after a while, Ben Bo will help you arrange a noble girl." ”

The Titan was younger than Orlan, fifteen or sixteen years old.

Actually, it was okay to wait, but Orlan felt that it would strengthen his loyalty even more.

He planned to reorganize the two counties, and after solving Shi Meng, he would plan the life events of his subordinates.

The first to be arranged were Kunsang and Nanding, and the two of them had the heaviest weight.

"Your Excellency!"

"Give birth early, and your child will grow up sooner, help Ben Bo govern the territory, go down."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Sally had a sleepless night.

Orlan didn't sleep either, he kept wielding the immortal sword to reduce the strange feeling in his body, and even found Kunsang to practice until the light of day.

Another day, Orlan finished regrouping, and Claydon signaled Harman.

Orlan led the group and launched an attack on the sixth village fort.

The final war is on the way to the county.
