King’s Kingdom - Chapter 252

Pizarro, his father and some fellow villagers set foot on the journey home in this way. Although it was already winter, there were still few idlers in the entire Lanyin Kingdom.

Those who are not satisfied with the amount of their own land are taking advantage of this time to reclaim the land, and some who have nothing else to do take advantage of this time to fulfill their feudal obligations.

In addition to paying taxes, citizens of the Rhine Kingdom also have military obligations, and the way to fulfill their obligations is to join the Link Army.

This winter, when there is not much work to do, is their busiest time. Middle-aged people who are over forty-five are no longer suitable for fighting on the battlefield, so they serve in the Link Army.

Winter training, Spring, Summer and Autumn take a few days each month to join the Link Army to participate in activities such as patrolling and strangling monsters.

And some women need to perform less military obligations. Although they do not need to join the Link Army, they still cannot escape.

Women over the age of forty-five had to pay twenty arrow shafts a year, or one hundred kilograms of hay for the sheep.

Women under the age of 45 are required to pay 30 arrow shafts and 150 kilograms of hay per year.

If neither of these two things can be done, you can also choose to turn in a wooden shield.

Generally speaking, there are not many choices of hay, but shields and arrow shafts.

Among them, the arrow shaft is the most important.

There is no way, the archers are not ready to participate in the war, and theirs must also undergo sufficient training before they can enter the battlefield to fight.

These people have to shoot at least five arrows every day to complete the training standard. The arrows can be recycled, but the shafts are not enough.

On average, an arrow shaft reaches its lifespan after being shot seven or eight times, either breaking or splitting in the middle. The arrow shaft used for training alone costs more than one million each year.

Without the contribution of the residents, the Kingdom of Rhine would have been bankrupt long ago because of the arrow shaft. It would not be cheap to hire someone to do it manually.

The per capita arable land in the North Seven Counties has become saturated, and there is no need to continue reclamation, so most of them choose to travel on military duty or join the conservation mansion.

As for those immigrants, under the organization of the officials, they built houses in various suitable places for living to be used for establishing villages in the coming year or the year after. Philosophical immigrants cannot always be in a state of refugees.

What Theodosius needs at this stage is for them to stabilize, and then travel for various feudal obligations, or military service or agricultural taxes, or to provide a commercial market, and it is not in the interests of Theodosius to simply be a laborer.

As for the Southern Twelve Counties, their pace of life is even more compact. Because they have been under the rule soon, their military obligations are not heavy.

As long as two-thirds of the residents of the north are fulfilled, this policy will continue until next year, that is, 870, when it officially ends, and the same feudal military obligations as the residents of the North Seven Counties travel.

In such an environment, they all paid as soon as possible what they should have handed in, either arrow shafts or shields, and then threw themselves into the reclamation work in full swing.

Each family is divided into 100 mu of land. This is just the initial policy. After all, there are many people in each family, and some are just the simplest family of three.

Some are able to give birth, with seven or eight children, all with one hundred acres of land, can the quality of life be the same?

So in this case, the era of great reclamation began.

Theodosius even encouraged reclamation. The right to use the land is owned by individuals, and the royal family and the government will not interfere. Anyway, as long as you pay taxes, I will give you a copy.

This is what Theodosius said when he encouraged reclamation: “Go! Go after it! All wealth is in this rich soil! Those who want to get rich! Go and cultivate!”

As a result, the people in the Southern Twelve County were like chicken blood. Those who had no need for reclamation at home also picked up hoes and plows to help their neighbors reclaim the land.

In such an era, the prosperity of a country is usually linked to food production and population, and if it goes a little deeper, it may also include steel production.

At present, the population aspect is the disadvantage of the Lanyin Kingdom. It is difficult to increase it quickly by conventional means. The food production is very good. The top half of the Lanyin Kingdom is the northern empire.

Then the only person left is the production of steel.

Because the population of the Rhine Kingdom is not large enough, even if this land is not lacking in iron ore, the output of steel cannot be considered too much, and it is just enough.

And this problem was gradually exposed with the arrival of the dwarves.

The smelting of mithril is carried out by refining steel. Generally speaking, one-tenth of the essence is extracted from the steel, and the remaining nine-tenths are reduced to waste slag.

As a result, the steel output of the entire Rhine Kingdom was completely insufficient, and part of the dwarves had to be put into the mines to produce enough iron ore for smelting.

And perhaps because of their racial talent, even without forging mithril, the steel produced by the dwarves is about one-tenth stronger than that of humans.

After the bathroom, Theodosius sent all the human workers on the blast furnace to other places to build more blast furnaces~www.mtlnovel.com~ and gave these blast furnaces to the dwarves to operate.

Only some managers are left to be responsible for administrative affairs here. All the steel produced here is used for military use, and the steel produced by the other blast furnaces is used for civilian use or weapons and equipment of the Linked Army.

Theodosius walked down the stairs to an underground blast furnace. The climate of the Rhine Kingdom did not affect it at all, and the air was full of hot breath.

The dwarf blacksmiths were topless, pounding the steel that had cooled down with hammers in their hands, and threw a few drops of sweat into them. According to these dwarves, their sweat could also slightly improve the quality of the steel.

Theodosius was a little unbelievable at first, but once this was a fantasy world full of magic, he no longer doubted it.

After all, even if there is no magic now, it is not surprising that there have been so many miracles that have left some supernatural phenomena.

The purpose of his coming here is not to watch the dwarves work, but because a set of armor tailored for him, and the first set of Mithril armor that is exclusive to him has been freshly released.

After staring for less than five minutes, a dwarf came to Theodosius holding a set of silver shining armor.

“Your Majesty! Your armor!” The dwarf said angrily.

Theodosius did not take over, but let the dwarf tie the armor to a wooden frame.

He wants to personally test how much improvement this tailor-made Mithril armor has.
