On January 20, the camp outside Roth Castle became increasingly lively. The Demon-Freers began to make more carts. The Maned Wolf City Chamber of Commerce also purchased some draft horses and sent them over according to Lant's request.
In the early morning, Lant competed with several intermediate knights in swordsmanship as usual. When he was dueling with Rune Egret, Lant felt for a moment that his fighting spirit could leave the tip of his sword, and he felt the force on the opposite side along Rune's sword. Technique.
After several days of sparring, Lant had figured out the characteristics of Rune's moves, and was able to avoid the real and attack the weak with ease. In the end, Rune's fighting spirit was exhausted and the two stopped fighting.
"Sir, your swordsmanship has improved again. I'm afraid next month, we will have to ask Dusen to come back to compete with you." Peter Maned Wolf, who has average swordsmanship but is the best at being a good person, couldn't wait to compliment him.
Although Lant was very aware of the gap between himself and Duson, he was very impressed by Peter's words.
"Lu En, I feel like I could use my fighting spirit just now to feel your thoughts on wielding the sword."
"Oh, then I would like to congratulate you. This is a precursor to the release of fighting spirit. You can try more. If you can form a stable release of fighting spirit, you will be a high-level knight." Luen once had a short time as a high-level knight. For senior The standards for knights are very clear.
"That's great." Old Huck was the happiest after hearing this.
"If Lant can really break through and become a high-level knight, our family fortune will be even more guaranteed!" Just when the knights began to compliment Lant again, a cavalryman rode from the north, holding a messenger belonging to the messenger in his hand. Little flag.
"Report, Captain Neil has a message for you!" The messenger immediately reported Neil's activities at the Yeqi City ruins when he met Lant.
They found two small barbarian tribes at the ruins of Yeqi City and successfully annexed them.
Both tribes have migrated all the way from the area north of the salt mines. According to their information, this winter has been very difficult for each tribe. The grains have basically been exhausted. Many tribes have to rely on looking for grass seeds to make a living, especially north of the Benma River. There have been several heavy snowfalls, making the living conditions for livestock even more difficult.
After obtaining the information, Neil has sent out multiple teams to conduct reconnaissance in several surrounding directions while promoting the power of the Benma Tribe, claiming that the Benma Tribe is willing to provide food and tents to all barbarian tribes on the plains.
"Very good, you did a good job," said Lanter, who was very satisfied with Neil's growth. Now is the time of drought. The tribes north of the Benma River will migrate south to beg for food, and the tribes in the west will also migrate east. In previous springs, they were the most ferocious days of fighting on the plains, for food and livestock. , slaves, tribes are constantly fighting and merging.
Now that Lant has the Human Empire as a food source, he can use food to absorb more barbarians and increase his own strength. Neil obviously knows this, so he started making preparations before Lant gave the order.
"I will send a batch of food and bring people there as soon as possible. Tell Neil, tell me any difficulties you have."
"Yes! Sir" The messenger received the order and needed to return to the ruins as soon as possible. Lant has decided to lead most of the territorial people and barbarians back to the plains in early February to open up the ruins of Yeqi City and gradually resume the production of salt mines. His idea is to spend the winter in Yeqi City by the end of this year, and all 4,000 people will It turns out that the people on the Benma Plain can live in Yeqi City, and the food for the winter can be raised from Longya City.
After experiencing setbacks in his breeding business, Lant decided to hand over the fishery to Greyhound and let him have full control over it, while he focused exclusively on the preparations for the development.
So after receiving Neil's letter, Lant immediately asked the Chamber of Commerce in the Royal Capital to help raise food, and arranged for his own caravan to prepare for business again at the end of the month.
The magic mirror was undoubtedly affected by the magic turbulence. Lant, who could always communicate with Dugan in the royal capital, could only rely on the messenger to get in touch with Neil.
. . Nowadays, Di Yang rises earlier every day than the day before. Although the weather does not get warmer immediately, north of the Cornico Pass, you can still feel that winter is about to pass. As the weather gets warmer day by day, the entire territory Preparations began.
The Demonless Ones once again began grinding wheat into flour and baking it into naan bread, making sausages, bacon and dried fish. Black cauldrons were set up in the camp.
Kuryagan and several knights began to replace the horseshoes of the black-scaled horses. The demon-free stewards organized the residents to pack the large luggage. Lili, Jonny and others began to check the magic rune board.
Even all the children have to use the afternoon to weave straw rope and help with the packing work. Seeing the lively scene in the entire tent camp, Lant also had to make his own preparations: setting up the territory structure.
In his previous life, Lant was not an outstanding employee with a deep understanding of business management, but he knew that an organization with more people would need a more complex structure in order to effectively unleash the full potential of the organization.
So Lant built a dual feudal + nomadic mixed structure for his territory based on the structure of the feudal dynasty in his hometown and the current human empire.
At the top of the structure is the Lord's Mansion and the Territory Joint Meeting. Downward are the feudal Yeqi City Archon and the nomadic Benma Tribe leader.
Given the size and size of Yeqi City, the lord of Yeqi City alone is at least a marquis, and the consul is at least an earl. However, Lant is still far from being a high-ranking official, and he feels that the most reliable consul is not even a demon holder. So the governor of Yeqi City was temporarily replaced by Lant, and the actual execution was by Lanya.
Under the governor of Yeqicheng, there are administrative departments such as paperwork, administration, finance, taxation, patrol, construction, education, justice, warehousing, transportation, grain, workshops, chamber of commerce management, and human resources statistics.
The main camp of the Benma 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. There are also 8 branches set up to extend around Yeqi City. It is arranged on the bank of the horse river as the defense line and livestock breeding unit of Yeqi City.
In spring and summer, 8 barbarian tribes spread out to provide warning for Yeqi City. The grassland pastures can also provide enough food for black-scaled horses, cattle and sheep; in winter, 8 tribes returned to the main tribe of Yeqi City, and the old people The livestock were slaughtered centrally, and Yeqi City provided feed and rations for the young horses and barbarians. This fulfilled Lant's idea of allowing the barbarians to continue their barbarian lives and allowing the humans to live the lives of humans. The feudal nomadic duality relied on each other and had complementary industries. Imagine.
Although this structure is a bit rough, the nomadic and feudal parts can be continuously improved in the future. Lant has already thought about it. In the future, when there are more people, each tribe will have a priest and build 8 sacrificial temples along the Benma River. All tribes can only move semi-nomadically near the temple.
As for Yeqi City, when there are more people, you can try to set up different sectional organizations. Even if it is a feudal society, you have to try a centralized feudal style and cannot seal off all the land.
