"Marriage is a work of art created by two people together." When two people get together, a bond is created between the two families, and then a new family is created.
From a small perspective, "reproduction" is the continuation of personal life; from a large perspective, it is one of the important indicators of national prosperity.
Recruiting soldiers, training craftsmen, expanding production, etc. all require a large number of people. Now how to increase the population and stabilize production has become what Oran needs to consider.
Before the Viking Rebellion, there were more than 200,000 people in Northumbria including the bandits, bandits, victims of disasters, beggars, and refugees.
After several wars, including natural disasters, diseases, and the flight of the people. The number dropped by 70,000 in four years.
But if births, voluntary migration from the south and forced migration from Oran are also taken into account. Supplements were obtained from Kent, Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia.
Olan calculated the household registration information. Without the policy of household registration, one could only estimate the population of each manor owner holding more than 500 acres of land, and add up all the people.
Now there are about 230,000 to 260,000 people in the country. Controlled land from Edinburgh to the south of Yorkshire, with small enclaves of Kent, Wessex, and Mercia.
Now among the three kings, their strength is infinitely closer. Lionheart was in danger of succeeding to the throne, and he needed to control the former king's remaining ministers. The legal orders he issued clearly showed that he did not want to fight, and wanted to use ransom to stop the war and wait until the country's strength was restored.
The Lionheart King has bigger problems. His wife Wei An was captured, and Berry, the most important county chief on the Eastern Front, also fell into the hands of Snake Eyes.
Snake Eyes also supported Anhal, the governor of Cambridge, and prepared to establish the County of Mercia, which was established with the support of the surrendered Mercian nobles.
The Lionheart King, who lost the royal capital, lost the cemetery of the late king, and lost respect, fled to Yijiao with his remaining soldiers. If Oran can take another big bite of the core area of Mercia, get more farmland and population, and even control everything in Mercia.
Before going to see the Lionheart King, Oran had several boxes of barley and fodder brought to him as gifts for the king. He didn't bring too many people with him, so he changed them all into hospital riders, and together with Katana's riders, he went to see the Lionheart King.
The former high-ranking king was reduced to living in the same dilapidated castle with his subordinate Sheriff Otto. One can imagine the annoyance in Bergred's heart.
These cheap supports from Oran gave the Mercian monks an excuse to be sarcastic. On the day of the official meeting, Lionheart King sat still and allowed them to launch a verbal attack on Oran.
"Your Majesty, Yinvar has invaded with all his troops in the north of Northumbria. Now, except for King's Landing, every town in our country is in danger." Catana also said that Yinvar has blossomed in the center of the North Kingdom, and they are overwhelmed by the attack.
Then Olan took out a decorated
"Drawing Paper". Let the servants be offered to the Lionheart. The woman above has blond hair, and it’s hard to tell which country she is from.
asked the Mercian noble,
"Who is this"
"This is the wife of Yinval's son Chris, the Irish dragon girl who has been in the limelight recently. As far as I can find out, she also has another identity. She once sneaked into Yewe County as a spy and tried to sabotage me and the late King Ella at the Thain Conference. Friendship, but in the end I saw through the conspiracy and chased her out of the country..." After Oran returned to Northern England, the picture album sent by his subordinates completely confirmed the identity of this woman.
After disappearing for so long, she became the mistress shared by father and son, and then raised a battle ax to sneak attack on her mother country. Those who have forgotten their roots are not qualified to live in the world anymore. When we meet again, Aolan plans to have her put into death.
Now Oran is adapting Sally's story and telling the Mercians about his grievances with them. Crying Poor can pull out these things, which is all he has got.
But no matter how beautiful the story was, the Lion Heart King would not accept it.
"The Sword in the Stone" swept around everyone and finally stopped in front of Olan. Oran lowered his head and asked the Sin Council to gather enough food.
I thought I would just give in and let the Lion-Hearted King get some favors, but the monks next to this bastard refused to give in and began to ask the gods... These monks only wore the robes of the Lord, but they were actually followers of the Ancestor God. The Lionheart King uses these pagan believers to pretend to be monks, so that he can build momentum for himself without any scruples. These fake monks are not afraid of God and cooperate well with him.
Joan of Arc, who was present, shook her body first, opened her eyes, and looked into the distance. Her gaze came out of the window, as if something indescribable had arrived!
Everyone inside and outside lowered their heads. There is no change in the sky, but the monks' mouths can always create new words.
"Use the true voice in your heart to feel. Have you seen the clouds in the sky glowing with golden light, the red flames rushing through, the sacred moment has arrived, you can hear the sound of the wind, smell the fragrance of flowers, and see the huge gate of heaven?" The gate of heaven is not there in Oran See, the gate to hell is clearly visible.
Evil thoughts were running through Olan's mind, and he saw the devil walking out of the crack in the ground. The solution was to throw all the bastards in front of him into it, so that the door to hell would be closed again.
"I saw it!" the voices kept coming. Oran continued to lower his head, watching the drama from the corner of his eye.
Then, someone arranged by Lionheart King early in the morning secretly took the lens from the light entrance in the house, causing the light to refract and produce several light and shadows.
This light and shadow is what the monks call the angels. Lionheart then raised his hands and turned his back to the crowd. Because the glory of God cannot be endured by mortals, and if they look directly at it, they will perish!
Brother Tian is here! Although to Oran, this is just the Lionheart King holding his voice and speaking, but those brainwashed believers, servants, and nobles.
Press your body lower and immerse yourself in this state. The choked monks also added from time to time,
"The supreme and all-powerful existence is like a father and a brother to us, just like the stars and the sun shining on our lives." Joan of Arc began to cry,
"Brother Heaven, please give us your will and lead us." If it were recorded in the text, perhaps decades or hundreds of years later, atheists or pagans would see this scene and laugh at it as a circus.
But put yourself in the situation, and when you find a big bell ringing outside the castle, young girls and boys have been arranged to sing the Bible.
The monks cried bitterly, and the nobles worshiped respectfully. If you don't know what's going on, your heart may start to waver.
After all, in an era with such a high mortality rate, it is too easy for faith, a costless sacrifice, to enter people's hearts.
"Olan." After Brother Tian called out this name, Olan responded.
"Your followers are here, Your Majesty."
"You've fallen."
"I was born from sin. My mother had original sin when she gave birth to me. I was at fault." Oran agreed, but mentally he was asking about Lionheart's mother.
"Everyone in the world has made mistakes and lacked the glory of God!" Joan of Arc pointed at Oran while crying. This crazy woman has no value anymore, and her death will be worse than that of the Dragon Girl!
Oran took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and responded with a cry,
"The Holy Light has come to the world. Because their actions are evil, people do not love the light, but love the abyss. Therefore, they should be condemned. I was wrong." Joan of Arc has studied the dogma for three years and is satisfied with Olan's words. .
"Don't be afraid, God protects believers and will cleanse you of your sins and prevent you from falling into darkness." After Joan of Arc said this, several monks came and pointed at Oran and spoke sacred texts.
"In the past, you were a sinner. Now, when you enter the light of the Lord, you will be as clean as water and as white as snow. You should be reborn and admit your mistakes to your 'loving father'." I am the master of Beiying, and the prostitute asked me to admit my mistakes and call him father. When Oran heard this, he slowly raised his head.
I don't have many people with me, but they are all elite. Even Otto himself had already taken care of things in advance. Oran knew very well how many troops there were in this place.
Not to fall out, but to use Mercia for a while. They are all demons of thousands of years, why are you trying to get down to earth with me?
