516 years, summer.

On their way back, Gelong's army took a detour to the Nemega and Kapus areas, and overpowered the cities of Nemega and Kapus.

The people in these two areas were mainly herders, but those tribes were unwilling to give up their autonomy and accept rule, so they all left.

Returning to the Dorseo area, Yamazaki asked the troops to enter the city playing mournful music, and let the flag of the Fourth Geron Army go first to express his condolences to the people of the Fourth Army.

Since the Fourth Army of Gelong was a new organization, no one knew the personnel very well, but many people cried.

The flag of the Gron Fourth Army was inserted into the Temple of War. Yamazaki Jeanfro told everyone that a Hall of Valor would be built in the future to commemorate the fallen soldiers, and the Gron Fourth Army would not be rebuilt.

Then he told the whole story and reported the names of the Gron Fourth Army one by one, which caused a cry of mourning. …

Afterwards, the army was disbanded, and each man was given a bag of copper coins as a trophy for their consumption.

Yamazaki only had gemstones and gold coins on hand, and he exchanged them with the help of the Chamber of Commerce.

I asked about buying grain by the way and learned that the Vandal Kingdom was still considering it.

After all this work, I can finally take a break.

In the evening, when Yamazaki was planning how to allocate manpower, Meidaizi came over mysteriously and took out a batch of silver coins and copper coins with her face printed on them.

Yamazaki said amusedly: "Are you afraid that people won't recognize you? If you want to use it, use my avatar."

Mei Daizi was immediately discouraged, "It's boring."

In the spiritual world, Yamazaki smiled and said: "It's not impossible. It can be used as a commemorative coin, but yours is made of pure silver and pure copper. There is no such thing in the world. It needs to be changed."

Mei Daizi became happy again, "This is no problem."

Yamazaki said: "Mark the location of each mineral. You can mine a small amount yourself and use a large amount. It is better to let the Chamber of Commerce do it, so that you will not be suspected."

Mei Daizi said: "I know, I actually think it is more convenient to directly change the production of minerals and reduce impurities, such as impurities in coal. Using high-quality anthracite as fuel can increase the temperature a lot, which is more convenient than making iron in a blast furnace. After all, the times different."

Yamazaki said: "It's because the times are different, so no one will find out that we use the Holy Domain and the power of faith."

Mei Daizi smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

"However, the method you just mentioned is not bad." Yamazaki said, and then warned, "By the way, remember to strengthen the mine."

"I know, then I'm going to play." Mei Daizi withdrew from Yamazaki's spiritual world. …

Moorish Rome fought a war with the people and lost most of its land and one-third of its population in less than a month. The news spread through the mouths of merchants from the Moorish Roman Kingdom and the Wonder Kingdom.

Since those people called themselves Gelon, they were called the Gelon Kingdom.

Also spread out was the declaration of the Kingdom of Gelong, a new system.

The first to come for diplomacy was the Visigothic Kingdom, for their mercenaries.

Yamazaki agreed to release the people, and the price was food and slaves, and Yamazaki was willing to pay more for the purchase, with a premium of 50%.

The Visigothic Kingdom quickly responded and agreed. Why not make money if you have money?

Under the banner of ransoming prisoners, the Moorish-Roman Kingdom had no way to stop it. It could only watch as slaves and food were shipped to the beach one after another, and the slaves carried the food to the Kingdom of Gron.

Seeing that the Gelung Kingdom had food, the Vandal Kingdom also opened up trade, but it could only trade with the Vandal Kingdom. The Vandal Kingdom traded with merchants from other countries, and then bought it to the Gelung Kingdom.

It doesn't matter, buy, in addition to food, there are also elephants and rhinos.

Mei Daizi went to central Africa through a vulture and came back with 300,000 Roman pounds of gold in a few hours. It can be said that the poor have money left.

One Roman pound can be exchanged for 72 gold coins, one Roman pound is more than 300 grams, 10,000 Roman pounds is more than 3,000 kilograms, which is more than three tons, and 300,000 Roman pounds is about ten tons.

However, if you want elephants and rhinos to cross the Sahara Desert safely, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to provide food along the way, so it is better to buy it.

Then came the Moorish-Roman Kingdom, because more and more villagers came back to protest, and they set up barriers to prevent population loss.

The original people in the Wasenis area occupied by the Gron Kingdom had fled before, but after losing their land, they had no source of livelihood.

The Moorish Roman Kingdom did not take good care of them, and wanted to treat them as unexpected wealth, that is, slaves.

Therefore, they were desperate and simply tried to escape back, because the slave policy of the Kingdom of Geron was much better.

Yamazaki asked the Gelong Second Army to accept them and allow them to go home, on the condition that their food could only be sold to the Gelon Kingdom at the market price of the Chamber of Commerce.

The villagers do not object to this.

In addition, the Gelong Kingdom hopes that villagers will raise horses, grow livestock, and collect forage, and the Gelong Chamber of Commerce will purchase their forage and healthy horses on a village basis.

This is voluntary and not forced.

For these people, the Second Legion of Gron also fought with two legions of the Moorish Roman Kingdom and directly captured a slave legion. To be precise, they surrendered voluntarily after the regular legion ran away.

The Kingdom of Geron promised them that as long as they complete the construction of the forest fortress, they can become civilians.

In Yamazaki's heart, these slaves belonged to the newly born Gron Kingdom, and those slaves he bought back belonged to their Gron family.

In the Kingdom of Geron, only the people from Dorseo City are willing to join the army because they have witnessed the arrival of the God of War with their own eyes, and only the Chamber of Commerce of Dorseo City is willing to donate money to establish an army.

As time went by, the fifth legion, the sixth legion, and the seventh legion were formed. If it were not for the financial problems of Dorseo City, it is estimated that more than ten legions could be established.

Money is mainly spent on equipment, equipment provided by the Gelong Chamber of Commerce.

Ten furnaces were built to make steel. Of course, they were not modern steel blast furnaces, but made of stone.

It's not too big. One furnace produces more than one cubic meter of material, which is about ten tons.

In terms of armor, a suit of armor only weighs more than ten kilograms. A furnace of ten tons and ten thousand kilograms of metal is enough to make a thousand sets of armor.

The ore is iron sand, which is pure iron sand, and the fuel is high-quality anthracite, which is equivalent to remelting pure iron.

The whole process is a process of adding carbon, because carbon in the air will be mixed into it. As for whether the final product is molten iron, high-carbon molten steel, or low-carbon molten steel, it depends on luck.

Anyway, such uncontrollable results meet the requirements.

The materials are released in batches, poured directly into molds, and poured into various standard shapes of utensils, such as horseshoes; weapons, such as knife heads; armor, such as metal sheets for armor, plate armor for hoods, and whole chain links. wait.

The problem lies in the mines, not the technology, so even if the technology is stolen, others will not be able to make high-quality metal equipment, let alone the metal equipment made through fraud.

Steel weapons and armor, plus alloy crossbows and steel crossbow bolts, are the standard equipment of the Legion of the Kingdom of Gron. For the first time, a complete set only costs one silver coin. After you get it, except for the crossbow bolts, everything else is engraved with your name. If you like, you can carve a pattern on it.

Except for alloy crossbows, which are provided to the army because steel crossbows are not good enough, other alloy equipment is only for home use.

The purchased slaves are the private property of the Gelong family. They are nourished with nutritious food and adjusted for a period of time. After a period of adjustment, they are selected to be strong and become warriors. The rest, the men are incorporated into the Gelong Chamber of Commerce and the women into the Gelong family.

The female slaves are managed by Xiwa, the slave leader of the Gron family, and Meidaizi's pets are taken care of by the female slaves to protect the safety of the family.

The Gron Chamber of Commerce is managed by Andreas, a clerical slave. The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is not to participate in competition and to protect the people.

The warrior slaves are managed by the slave warrior leader Fro, and there are already two slave legions. …
