142. The future of Rand and Night Kirk
On January 20th, the camp outside Rot's Castle was already bustling with activity, and the Demonsless began to make more carts, and the Maned Wolf City Chamber of Commerce also purchased some horses to send over at Rand's request.
Early in the morning, Rand sparred swordsmanship with several mid-level knights as usual, and when he fought against Rune Egret, Rand felt for a moment that his fighting spirit could leave from the tip of his sword, and he felt the opposite technique along Rune's sword.
After a few days of fighting, Rand has figured out the characteristics of Lune's tricks, and it is more comfortable to avoid real and attack falsehoods, and finally Lune is exhausted and the two stop.
"My lord, your swordsmanship has improved again, I'm afraid that next month, we can only let Du Sen come back to learn from you" Pete Maned Wolf, who is average in swordsmanship but the most proficient in human beings, couldn't wait to start complimenting.
Although Rand was very aware of the gap between himself and Dusen, he was very sensitive to Pete's words.
"Lune, I feel that I can use my fighting spirit just now, and I can feel your sword movement"
"Oh, then congratulations, this is a precursor to the release of vindictive energy, you can try more, if you can form a stable vindictive outflow, it is a high-level knight" Lune once had a short period of high-level knighthood, and the criteria for high-level knights are very clear.
"Great," said old Huck, who was most pleased to hear it,
"If Rand can really break through to a high-level knight, our family business will be more guaranteed!" Just as the knights began to compliment Rantre again, a horseman came on horseback from the north, holding a small flag belonging to the herald.
"Report, Captain Neil has a message for your lord!" When the herald encounters Rand, he immediately reports Neil's activities at the ruins of Nightqi City.
They found two small barbarian tribes on the ruins of Night Qi City and successfully annexed them.
According to the information of both tribes, who have migrated all the way from the areas north of the salt mines, the winter has been quite difficult for the tribes, the grain has been basically exhausted, and many tribes have to rely on foraging for grass seeds to survive, especially the heavy snowfall north of the Benma River, which has made it even more difficult for livestock to survive.
After receiving the information, Neil had already sent several teams to reconnoiter in several directions around the area, while promoting the strength of the Prancing Horse Tribe, claiming that the Prancing Horse Tribe was willing to provide food and tents for all the barbarian tribes on the plains.
"Good, you're doing a great job," Rand said pleased with Neil's growth. Now is the time of green and yellow, the tribes north of the Benma River will migrate south to beg for food, and the tribes to the west will also migrate eastward, and the spring of previous years is the most ferocious day of fighting on the plains, for food, livestock, slaves, tribes are constantly fighting and merging.
Now that Rand has the Human Empire as a food source, he can use food to absorb more barbarians and strengthen his own strength, Neil is obviously also clear, so he began to prepare before Rand gave the order.
"I'll send a batch of food and the people over as soon as possible, you tell Neil, tell me all the difficulties"
"Yes! "My lord, the herald received the order and needed to return to the ruins as soon as possible. Rand has decided to start at the beginning of February to lead most of the lords and barbarians back to the plains, open up the ruins of Yeqi City, and gradually resume the production of salt mines, his idea is that by the end of this year, all 4,000 of the original lords on the Galloping Horse Plain can live in Yeqi City, and as for the food for the winter, they can be raised from Dragon's Tooth City.
After a setback in his farming career, Rand decided to hand over the fishery to the greyhound and give him full control while he focused on the preparations before the development.
So after receiving Neil's letter, Rand immediately asked the chamber of commerce in the royal capital to help raise food, and arranged for his own caravan to prepare for another trade at the end of the month.
The Magic Mirror is undoubtedly affected by the Magical Turbulence, and Rand, who can communicate with Dugan in the royal capital, can only rely on heralds to get in touch with Neil.
。。 Now the emperor is rising earlier than the day before, and although the weather is not immediately warmer, it can still be felt that winter is coming to an end north of the Kornico Pass, and as the weather warms up day by day, the whole territory has begun to prepare.
The demons-free began grinding wheat into flour and roasting it into naan, making sausages, bacon, and dried fish, and a large black cauldron was erected in the camp.
Kuryagan and several knights began to change their horseshoe for the black-scaled horse, the demonless butlers organized the people to pack large luggage, and Lili, Jonny, and others began to check the magic rune board.
Even all the children have to spend the afternoon weaving straw rope and helping with the packing work. Looking at the hot scene of the entire tent camp, Rand also has to make his own preparations: the territorial structure setting.
In his previous life, Rand was not a good employee with a deep understanding of business management, but he knew that the larger the number of people, the more complex the structure needed in order to effectively realize the full potential of the organization.
So according to the feudal dynasty in his hometown and the structure of the current human empire, Rand built a dualistic feudal + nomadic mixed structure for his territory.
At the top of the structure is the Lord's Mansion and the Realm Council, and down is parallel to the feudal Archon of Night Kir City and the nomadic leader of the Galloping Horse Tribe.
With the area and specifications of Night Qi City, the city lord of Night Qi City alone is at least a marquis, and the consul is at least an earl, but Rand is still some distance away from the high rank, and he feels that the most reliable consul is not even a demon supporter, so the consul of Night Qi City is temporarily replaced by Rand, and it is actually executed by Lanya.
Under the Archon of Night Qicheng, there are administrative departments such as clerical, Quanxu, finance, taxation, patrol, construction, education, justice, warehousing, transportation, grain, workshops, chamber of commerce management, and manpower statistics.
The main camp of the Galloping Horse Tribe is also set up in Yeqi City, all the barbarian children and old people, and about 200 standing cavalry stay in the main camp of Yeqi City, and 8 branches are set up, which are arranged on the bank of the Benma River around Yeqi City, as the defense line and animal husbandry units of Yeqi City.
In spring and summer, 8 barbarian tribes were scattered to serve as a guard for Yeqi City, and the pastures of the grassland could also provide enough food for black-scaled horses, cattle and sheep; In winter, the 8 tribes returned to the main tribe of Yeqi City, and the old cattle were slaughtered intensively, and Yeqicheng provided feed and rations for the young horses and barbarians, so as to realize the idea of letting the barbarians continue the life of the barbarians, let the human race live the life of the human race, and the feudal nomadic duality relied on each other and the industries complemented each other.
Although this structure is a little rough, but the nomadic and feudal parts can be continuously improved in the future, Rand has already thought about it, in the future, each tribe will have a single priest, and build 8 shrines along the Galloping Horse River, and all tribes can only be semi-nomadic near the shrine.
As for Yeqi City, if there are more people, you can try to set up different block institutions, even if it is a feudal society, you have to try centralized feudalism, and you can't seal off all the land.
