"Here...... It's the Hereford family...... City?"

In March of 1743, after William had returned to Riga in Bolotsk, the Prince of Seile, now the Centaur Khan, had finally made his decision. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The decision he made was to agree to William's request to him, that is, to go to Riga and meet, or rather meet William.

Rightfully so, this is a gesture of obedience. Its posture is as if during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the former overlord of Central Asia, who had an absolute dominance in the ********** world, once waved 400,000 troops and wanted to attack China's lame Timur, his descendants were brought back by Zheng He's fleet, and then forced to kneel to the Yongle Emperor, and were reprimanded for his non-standard posture.

It's a really pleasant feeling -- no, even more pleasant than the one above. Because Timur did not succeed in the war against China. Before the actual attack, a great plague had destroyed his vanguard army of 200,000 men, and after his death, the vast Mongol-Turkic Central Asian empire was on the verge of collapse.

And William is different, William really suffered the loss of the centaur Khan, Sarida Khan, that is, Sele Khan. And it's a big loss. The centaur Khan's power was still fresh in his memory, so when he heard that Sele Khan had agreed to his terms, that he would come to meet him, and even promised that he could use the courtesy of his subordinates, William would gain a sense of accomplishment and the pleasure that William felt was much greater than that of the Yongle Emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people, then William probably couldn't help it and wanted to laugh out loud "hahahahaha".

He finally understood why the words "Don't bully the poor of young people" are so popular in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years. Because this feeling is really cool, don't want it. If it weren't for the situation, William would even want to be alone in a room and laugh all day.

Of course, it's just a casual talk. Not to that extent...... But that's pretty much it.

In the process of waiting for Sele Khan, William has been in a very good mood for the past few days. Whatever the servants and subordinates have done wrong, he will forgive them with a broad heart. Charlumi took the opportunity to ask him for a sum of money to expand her practice room, and Elise received a lot of jewelry as gifts.

The king's pleasure naturally infected the entire kingdom, plus think about the horror and pressure that the centaurs brought to the entire Great Frontier Region in the previous hundreds or even thousands of years. This joyful and pleasant atmosphere is even more intense.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth, Lao Tzu has finally come out, I want to jump on your grave, bibimbap, hearse drift, you are dead, I can now bully your orphans and widows - this kind of pleasant feeling that is not very kind, is not unique to William alone. The whole Great Border Region, from Russia to Wende, has a feeling.

William even felt that the arrival of Sele Khan had a greater impact on him than the previous victory in the Battle of Magdeburg. The prestige bonus to him is even more.

After all, although it is said that in the past few years, the rivers have been declining, and the tiger that has basically been a down-and-out phoenix with its teeth pulled out has basically no combat effectiveness, but in the eyes of the vast majority of residents in the large border areas, the gold content of the centaur khan is still a little more than that of the emperor.

Compared to the centaur khan, who in most cases has the sign of the enemy of humanity and makes the people of the entire Great Frontier region live in fear. Except for a few heroes who were somewhat better during their reigns, the rest of the time period was all useless emperors, which is really nothing - that is, during this time, Kalman IV tossed a lot, which added a lot of honor to this title, which also corresponds to the huge old saying, not the title honors the mediocre people who have him, but the hero honors the title he has.

It's like the ancient Roman Empire, where Octavian and his adoptive father Caesar. After their deaths, their names directly became the title of the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire. It's like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, whose honorific titles eventually became the honorific titles of the emperors of China. It's that powerful.

That's pretty much it. In this cheerful and jubilant atmosphere, the arrival of Sele Khan and his team of emissaries brought the carnival to a climax - though there was no silk wrapped around the tree, no food was free, and no very large amount of money was offered to the trade. But there were petals scattered all over the sky, and there were a large number of people who spontaneously organized to welcome them...... In other words, to see the excitement and freshness, to see how different people are from humans like centaurs, but they are absolutely indispensable.

It is precisely for this reason that the freshly baked centaur Khan, after entering Riga City, was a little dazzled for a while.

There are too many people. Moreover, during the time of William's reign in Riga, the city also underwent a series of renovations, and the main roads of the city used the asphalt that had been tried in recent times, plus the asphalt roads paved with gravel. Flat, spacious and sturdy.

At the same time, there are plants on both sides of the road, bushes. The buildings on both sides have also been completely renovated.

More importantly, the cities of Riga were very clean - after William's agricultural reforms, Riga, or all the cities controlled by the Hereford family, began to collect human and animal manure. Every night, people put their excrement in special buckets and leave it in front of their homes. And every morning in the early hours of the morning, there are special people to collect these things. It is then transported in sealed manure trucks and sold to farmers outside the city who are in dire need of fertilizer.

This, combined with the public toilet system that William strongly advocated, made Riga one of the most clean and tidy cities in the human world. Of course, there are not a few penalties that have occurred in the process. Therefore, it is natural to make Riga, to make the Polotsk people unhappy. Thankfully, William survived. Next, the underground sewer system, the city's unified water supply system, will also start construction in the shortest possible time. William spared no effort for the construction of his capital.

Of course, these things were unimaginable for the tribe of Selehan, who lived in the wild steppe all day long, lived in tents, and ate almost nothing but meat. And the focus of his attention is not in these places.

For him, and the vast majority of people living in this era, it is completely unimaginable that a human city, especially a large city like Riga, could not smell feces. Of course, their attention was not focused here, but on the faces of the ordinary citizens who welcomed them.

Although not as wise as Sarida Khan, Selay Khan was also known to be very intelligent. He can conclude from the expressions, faces, and dresses of these people just from the current economic situation and people's livelihood of the Hereford family.

In the end, Selehan was distressed by the conclusion that the Hereford family was in a better situation than he had thought...... Of course, this is also somewhat due to the question of the route he chose.

The richest and richest of the Hereford family's estates were the family-owned principality of Mystia, where the family's agricultural system was the most complete, with farms and estates for the cultivation of grain, soybeans and pastures, as well as pastures with black and white cows, improved Romanov sheep and Don hippos.

While agriculture was extremely developed, the industry in Mystia was also quite large-scale. This was mainly in the previous years, when the speculative bubble burst in the Kingdom of Polotsk, and the skilled workers and machinery were copied from there. Of course, most of the development here is light industry and manufacturing. In order to avoid causing too much industrial pollution and interfering with the development of local agricultural construction.

The Principality of Mystia, with its two pillars of light industry and agriculture, is quite wealthy, even in the entire human world. On the other hand, whether it is the Russian Kingdom as the core area of the empire, the vast Wende Kingdom, or the newly established Central and Northern Regions, the degree of wealth is not as good as his. The latter two, in particular, had just gone through a war, and then they were affected by the sectarian wars that were still going on today, and there was a huge influx of refugees, so that there has been little improvement so far.

And when it comes to Russia, it's the heavy industry base of the Hereford family. In this resource-rich land are the Hereford family's steam engine factory, machinery and iron, steel factory, artillery and firearms factory, a locomotive factory under construction, a railway factory, and so on. A large number of chimneys obscured the sky and smoke. It provides a large number of industrial products and machinery for the Hereford family...... The number of workers here is also the largest. It is also because of the largest number of workers that the degree of social organization is also the highest. The soldiers recruited here are also the best. It seems that now, four of the five Janissaries of the Hereford family are from the Russian region.

And when it comes to Porotsk, the original wealth of this territory is at the top of the list, ranking first in the large border area, even under the rule of the centaurs, Tronica in its heyday is by no means an opponent. Although the Crusader bubble orchestrated by William suffered heavy losses, the kingdom recovered surprisingly quickly after William's entry into Polotsk. Its manufacturing industry, especially shipbuilding, is no longer inferior to that of the southern principality of Mystia. And its strong business atmosphere is also the highest in the territory controlled by the Hereford family.

The Hereford family arranged for Selehan to enter, and the route to visit was first Russia, then Polotsk. Let these guys feel the horror of heavy industry first, and then let them know about the wealth of the Hereford family. These two, the former centaurs can't learn, and the latter centaurs can't learn, are things that can be taken out very happily to show off. And the results are quite good.

After seeing these things, the centaurs were more or less well-behaved, and they invariably had a similar feeling in their hearts - that is, it didn't seem too embarrassing to lose to such an opponent.
