Alien Knights

　　 After the trial, Todd, before leaving, sent a request to the priests and knights he knew well, asking them to help spread a "recruitment notice."

　　 The content of the notice is easy to understand. From the beginning to the end, there is no principle of "serving the Father". It can be summarized as follows: Muxi Harbor is rich in resources and beautiful scenery. We are now recruiting talents from all walks of life, regardless of occupation or age. Farmers who come to cultivate can distribute a piece of land; vendors who come to set up stalls can be exempted from part of the business tax; soldiers who come to join the army can get weapons and military pay. Within the sermons of Muxi Harbor Church, everyone can be exempted from the "tithe tax" for three years.

　　 This notice was issued in just half a month, and someone came to "apply".

　　 At first, it was only farmers from nearby villages who did not ask for land, but only for shelter. The parents of these people once settled near the coastline to fish. The intrusion of pirates forced them to put down their fishing nets and picked up agricultural hoes. Today, they have returned to the beach, with woven fishing nets, and some have even used horse-drawn carts on fishing boats that have not been used for many years. I hope that Father Todd can guarantee their safety. In return, they are willing to donate half of the seafood they obtained to the church.

Then came a group of artisans and apprentices who were dragging their families. Some of them were grateful people saved by Todd in an "exorcism ritual", and old acquaintances like Aiden Kerm, and some were purely because Hearing about Father Todd's generosity and generosity, his family moved here.

　　The last person to join, surprised Todd. They are those "acquaintances" of Huggins, less than 20 people, most of them are bachelors, only a small number of them came with their families, some of them he met on Waiheke Island, and some were in the cathedral. I have seen it at the door, and some of them are face-to-face, but their attitudes are not obvious at all.

　　 In addition, Todd, Karin, Huggins, Edgar, and Jerry also moved out of the monastery and moved into the Port West, where everything in the alchemy laboratory was transported there.

　　 In the next month or so, with the concerted efforts of less than a hundred people, the appearance of Muxi Harbor changed drastically.

　　 Churches, houses, docks, and workshops have been built one after another in the residential area. A small seaside village dominated by fishing and smelting has gradually emerged.

　　 And as Todd's "miracles" spread in the heresy trial, more and more people read the "notices". The second batch of immigrants gradually came to this paradise on the west coast of the evening. Farmers who lost their land, monks who admired the holy sites, vendors who found business opportunities, and craftsmen who fancy seaside products, people of all walks of life and all walks of life centered on the "Holy Son". , Gathered together. The population has gradually increased from less than a hundred people at the beginning to nearly three hundred people.

Todd did not forget about agreeing to the church. With the development of Muxi Seaport gradually on the right track, the second and third batches of crystal relics "shipped from the northern islands" were also packed into wooden boxes. , Abiding by the contract and transported to the St. Colosseum Cathedral in Silver Ring City. Not only that, but on the way to transport the holy artifacts, he did something that made almost the entire kingdom dazzled. He fulfilled the original agreement and gave a batch of high-quality crystal relics to the crowd whom he had promised to give to the priests, knights, and families of the war dead in the visiting group.

This behavior allowed him to obtain unanimous praise from the royal family, nobles, churches and civilians of Silver Circle. Everyone praised him as a saint who believed in his words, and this indirectly resulted in the third batch of immigrants in Muxi Harbor. tide. The population of Muxi Seaport quickly exceeded 600 people, and it was officially upgraded from a village to a small town.

　　 The people's livelihood industry in the West Seaport has shown a "pyramid-like" diversification trend, including farming properties, animal husbandry, fishery, breeding, handicrafts, metallurgy, processing, service, and so on.

　　 But the management level here has been "flattened". The supreme leader of Muxi Town is naturally Todd. He holds divine power and administrative power, and further down, he is different from other villages and cities. There is no deputy, no tax officer, no court, and no sheriff. .

　　 Some people may wonder whether this management mode will make the entire village and town chaotic?

　　 Not so.

　　Industry affairs are sorted out and arranged by the leaders of each industry. Only when there are overlapping functions or conflicts of interest, will they go to the church to apply for refereeing.

Taxation and finance are all dependent on the conscious payment of the residents of the town, and the "tithe tax" is exempted for three years. In addition, Todd uses the crystal holy relic to win from the Silver Ring Kingdom, temporarily exempting the poll tax and part of the industry tax. The preferential policies of Heshang Tax make the taxation of Muxi Town extremely light, and the taxation pressure is not worth mentioning to the residents. In order to appreciate the grace of Father Todd, people pay more taxes as a personal "tribute" to him.

　　 The security of the town is even more strange. The immigrants here come from different villages, different places, and even languages ​​are different. It stands to reason that frictions and disputes should happen from time to time. But the real situation is that there are few conflicts and disputes in the life and work between neighbors, and criminal cases are even rarer. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, the people of high morals in the residential area will spontaneously form a mediation committee and an arbitration committee to resolve them on their own. For those who are in the true sense of "troublemakers," the residents of Muxi Town most often say: "Do you want to taste the taste of God's Eye?" 』

　　 Finally, talk about the military power of Muxi Town. Todd knew his shortcomings. When he traveled to another world, he did not bring the encyclopedia, nor the invincible system, nor was he a decathlon. He is just a researcher who knows a little bit better than ordinary people in the field of biochemistry. It's okay to let him do biological and chemical experiments. If you let him be responsible for military preparation and training, it would be completely blind.

Besides, in the Middle Ages, wanting to form an army that can only fight is not as simple as people think. This involves formation arrangement, arms collocation, coordinated training, equipment selection, tactical preparation, battle flag language, and physical fitness. Enhance and so on a series of complex and professional knowledge.

For example, the "Taktike Theoria" (Taktike Theoria) written by a previous Greek military strategist is based on the actual combat experience of Alexander the Great. UU reading www.uukanshu.com involves many knowledge about wartime equipment, organization, deployment and mobilization of the army. It was revised seventeen times, after more than fifty years, and was finally written in 106 AD. After more than 1,400 years, this book has been constantly revised and improved, and it was not until the 16th century that a complete set of tactical theories was finally formed, and it was regarded as a must-read work for tactics by military schools all over the world.

　　 Therefore, things like military and warfare really don't mean that you can get started with it. It involves too much knowledge and skills. Perhaps in the future battles, through repeated training, Todd can become a qualified general. But now, the priest knew that he didn't have that ability at all. Instead of messing around, he should simply entrust the matter to Huggins and give him the right to freely obtain warehouse equipment and materials. As for the source of the soldiers, Hudgens' "acquaintances" and some of the militia groups who have taken refuge in are enough to support the guards of Muxi Town.

　　 In this way, Muxi Town has spent three months in this harmonious, peaceful but weird atmosphere since its establishment.

　　 And today, Todd is on the dock, loading a new batch of crystal relics, and preparing to ship to the east.

Bishop Fabian of the Cathedral of St. Colosseum experienced the previous robbery. He thought that more is worse than less, and he asked the Crystal of Muxi Town to take a shortcut without passing through the Silver Ring, and go directly to the kingdom from the pass of the Watchtower. Border. There, the resident knights of the Western Diocese will conduct related handovers with Todd.

　　In the distance, the church personnel escorted by the holy relic slowly walked towards the pier.

　　 Todd squinted his eyes and looked carefully. The leading knight was no stranger to him.
