New Habsburg.

Leonard led a group of armoured soldiers under the towering walls of the New Habsburg to worship the huge oak tree, which looked like almost every day.

The Tree of Life has absorbed sufficient energy and is rapidly thriving.

Significant improvements have been made in the nearby geomorphology and hydrology.

Clusters of green shade began to appear in the original desert, sweet springs reappeared in the dry wells, and even the scorching heat became no longer so unbearable.

Especially near the Tree of Life, an oasis is gradually forming and spreading outward.

One soldier stood up and patted the dust off his body: "Old Leonard, the Holy Oak is indeed a miracle, but I always feel that it is like a miracle of the pagan Druyin. ”

Leonard snorted, "What Druyin? You know a! ”

The soldier was a little unconvinced, "Don't forget, old Leonard, my father is a Breton, and my mother is said to be taught by Druyin. ”

"Although I have not met her, I have seen the seal of this sacred oak tree in her relics as a child."

"Oak trees are nothing unusual."

Leonard pouted stubbornly: "In short, don't compare those strange pagan gods with adults, adults are holy sons!" ”

"Of course I think so, but..."

"No but!"

The expression on Leonard's face became a little hideous.

The soldier was startled and hurriedly said, "I know." ”

The expression on Leonard's face became kind again: "Let's go, go and check whether those heretics are lazy." ”

Wielding his whip, he climbed down the dirt slope to the bottom of the walls.

Looking at the hired men who were using rolling wood to transport huge bricks and stones, he shook a whip: "Give me more energy, my lord has invited you to come and build the city with the same treatment as in the supermarket, and you are allowed to use it in lieu of the labor you should serve this year, but I don't let you come here to eat!" ”

The hires didn't pay much attention to Leonard's posturing.

Leonard Sr. is not a cruel person, as long as he is not too lazy, he will not be particularly serious, and although the job is hard, the treatment is really pleasant.

Not only did they have meat, they only worked eight hours a day, but they also had silver coins full of color and white flowers.

Put it in the past.

Not to mention the salary, but tired to death on the road to the city, and having to be filled into the walls by miserly overseers to be accompanied by dirt and masonry.

A pagan hired handman, putting down the stone in his hand, stared at the seemingly miraculous sacred tree below.

"If the pagan gods could bring green and water to the land, it would seem like nothing to convert, right?"

He was immediately startled by the sinful thoughts that welled up in his heart, and he recited several lines in succession, "The Holy Fire is above."

…

At this time, Lothar was discussing with Hans how to fill the vacant position that had been created by the elimination of the infidels and powerhouses.

The fields were divided.

You have to let people collect taxes and manage them.

Although the soldiers who were transferred through the system were loyal and reliable, they were often illiterate, and the knowledge given to them by the system did not include literacy and arithmetic.

This is also the reason why Andreas has been reused by Lothar, a person like him who is literate and knows how to count is really a very rare talent.

Lothar thought about it for a long time, but decided to let the knights under his command do it for the time being.

On the one hand, they were nominally divided between the land and the yeoman farmers above, and on the other hand, they were also given basic training to the subjects, so that when Lothar needed to be conscripted, they would be a rabble and only cannon fodder.

The only people who were given priority in the distribution of land were converts, so they were also supposed to serve in the army, and those who insisted on not converting could only continue to cultivate their original land or continue to be serfs.

Of course, the number of people who insist on the latter is quite small.

Despite this, Lothar still gained a very high reputation among the pagan people, because in this era, even for yeoman farmers, half a tax is fifty percent tax, both in the East and the West, it is quite a normal thing.

If it is a serf, it is even more hard for a whole year, and even his stomach may not be full.

There is too much shortage of talents under his hands, and in a short period of time, he may not be able to extract military barracks buildings that can be used for the transfer of leading people.

"My lord, why don't we ask for help from the church?"

Indeed, the church is one of the most knowledgeable places of our time.

Those who could not become clergy, but who had received theological education, clerks, etc., were well suited as tax collectors who were auxiliary to the left knights.

"But, Hans, you must know that the land that has been stripped from the pagan tyrants is my new private property that the church has not noticed. The power of the church is a vacuum here, and it is impossible for the Zoroastrian temple to collect money from me. ”

"So this property, strictly speaking, is tax-exempt and does not have to pay the tithe, and if you invite people from the church, it will not be such a good thing," Lothar emphasized. ”

Hans suddenly said, "I see. ”

"Well, my lord, let's start a barracks school to teach knights and soldiers simple arithmetic."

Lothar nodded: "Now, that's all I can do." ”

He was tempted to use Hans's mounted cavalry spear as an unlocking barracks, but quickly abandoned the idea.

Sooner or later, there will be both barracks and soldiers.

This can increase the number of cavalry in the whole army, although it will get new ones in the future, but if the attributes do not overlap, who will dislike the lack of frontal buffs on their own body?

…

Back at the Constance Manor, Lothar finally had time to study the simulation.

The reward for killing the demon is that you will receive a completion of a simulation battle to complete the tasks that have been upgraded.

In other words, the simulation battle is only a task, not a reward, and the real reward is "leveling".

Lothar originally thought that the promotion was for the subordinates under his command, but after careful research, he found that this "promotion" refers to the promotion of his poor "three-star template".
