King’s Kingdom

Chapter 33: North of the Hengduan Mountains

The execution of the Lanyin Kingdom is still very strong. In the 40 years since the founding of the country, all the loyal ministers who accompanied Duke Cardo in the Northern Expedition have not died. They have trained enough successors to make the Lanyin Kingdom this although The small, but very capable country is in good shape.

The plan made by Theodosius is proceeding in an orderly manner, although many people do not understand why His Majesty the King interferes in so many things.

As a leader, it is quite normal to be concerned about the military, to build better weapons and armor for the soldiers, and to make the loose reservists have a more efficient assembly system.

But it's a little too strange to order people to collect the manure of people and animals and pour it into the pit and mix it? Could it be that His Majesty has any special hobby?

Almost all the people in the Lanyin Kingdom have such doubts, whether it is a noble aristocrat or a commoner who is working in the fields.

However, Theodosius didn’t care about these things. Taking advantage of his free time, he strolled around the countryside outside the city of Rhine, and found that the farm tools in their home were only wooden plows that were not much different from wooden sticks. hoe, and iron sickle.

In addition, after asking the entourage, he realized that the concept of fertilization does not exist in the Rhine Kingdom, and the only way to make the land less barren is to set fire and spread ashes .

In such a country, where most of the people are free from hunger, there is no concept of fertilization and breeding, and all farming relies on primitive rest and ashes. God cow batch.

However, although the **** of abundance made food abundant, Theodosius still chose to carry out agricultural reforms. No one thinks that there is too much food, right?

Even if people can't finish it, wouldn't it be good to feed livestock? Increase the intake of animal protein, so that the physical fitness of the residents of the Lanyin Kingdom is stronger.

Why is the number of iron-boned horses decreasing? It is nothing more than that the consumption of food is too large, and a large amount of food means that a large number of excellent war horses can be cultivated, which is also a huge increase in military affairs.

As a result, in addition to the cesspools outside the city, there were also a lot of shells in the warehouse of Lanyin City. Eggshells were ground into powder. In addition, a large number of animal bones were also ground into powder. mixed together.

This is the most primitive phosphate fertilizer. When used in conjunction with manure, Theodosius estimates that grain production can be increased by at least 30% to 40%.

Of course, these were just trivial matters for the king of Theodosius, and after two days of discussions, the warriors' rewards for their performance on the battlefield had been decided.

In addition, there is also a preliminary plan for the expansion of the army. Although this was first proposed by Theodosius, the increase in the number of troops is a great event for a country like the Lanyin Kingdom, which is almost military.

The population of the Lanyin Kingdom is about 200,000, of whom there are no disabilities in the prime of life, and there are about 40,000 young adults who are suitable for joining the army. Theodosius decided to double the army and increase the number of professional troops to 8,000. In this way, the security of the country has been improved a lot.

In addition, Theodosius once again expanded the scale of the knights. On the battlefield, the role of this elite type of troops as a finalizer is really important. There was no such condition before, but now with so many resources, Increasing the number of knights has become a priority.

Although elites like knights are rare, they have not reached the point where they cannot be recruited. In fact, there are many branches of the Ortban family in the Rine Kingdom.

Because the country didn't have so many jobs to place them, it just allocated a large area of ​​land to them and let them become squires. Most of them didn't even have the title of knight, so they were basically not in the nobility system.

However, these people all have the bloodline of the Holy King. Even if some people's bloodlines have not been activated, they almost always choose to carry out military training since childhood. Even if their bloodlines are not activated, they are extremely good cavalry.

As long as they activate their holy king bloodline, they can immediately become a member of the elite knights, and there are thousands of people of this age. This is the background of the Ortban family.

Even so many people are not enough. Occasionally, the Teban family has other branches, with a duke title in the southern coast and even a king title in the west.

Saint King Ender's bloodline is very prosperous. It is only occasionally that the Teban family is divided into three branches, while the descendants of Ender are the four major branches of the atmosphere. The number of people is extremely large. fifty thousand people.

Under such circumstances, Theodosius felt that he would not lack the source of knights. Many of these members of the same family from other regions were the same as the family members of the Lanyin Kingdom, and they did not have a knighthood.

The title of a knight is a huge temptation for them. They don't need to worry about them not coming, and they don't need to worry about their loyalty.

Within two months of coming to this world, Theodosius could understand more and more why so many people like to use xiangtang kin, because this thing is really useful!

As long as these people spread all over the Rhine Kingdom, Theodosius does not need to worry about being coveted by others, because he is the one who can bring benefits and glory to the family members the most.

On August 1, 866 of the Hilkati calendar, the harvest of grain continued. Although the Kingdom of Rhine was located in the north, the cold air was blocked by the towering Hengduan Mountains, and the sea in the northeast also blew bursts of warm currents. , so that it has a typical temperate monsoon climate.

Therefore, unlike high-latitude farming, crops are usually harvested here in mid-July. In addition, the Lanyin Kingdom is sparsely populated, and almost everyone has at least 150 acres of land, even if they need it. They also plant at least 50 acres of land each year, and it will take at least three months to complete the work under manual harvesting.

And Theodosius' reward to the soldiers has also been completely determined, with 5,000 sunshine gold coins to reward those soldiers who killed the enemy in battle, 5,000 sunshine gold coins to comfort the soldiers who died in battle, 5,000 gold coins to use Come to honor all the soldiers who took part in the battle.

In addition to this, Theodosius also promised that within five years, he would pay two sheep for every soldier in the war, and two sheep for every enemy killed. As for the land? Let’s wait until the population of the Lanine Kingdom increases and then take the land as a reward for fighting the enemy bravely.

After the war, the Rhine Kingdom was recovering in an orderly manner, and the expansion of the army also proceeded very smoothly. The framework is still being built.

And on August 17th, the messenger sent by Theodosius finally crossed the Hengduan Mountains and came to the elf camp in the forest.
