It took a day to handle the territory. Early the next morning, Luo Lin got on a carriage, took three newly enthroned knights, and rushed to the south of Fire Lion City.

The three knights led by Langergo, one of the 700 warriors who followed the Battle of Rollin Wandome, and one of the most outstanding warriors in Gaoshan Town's martial arts talent at that time. During the time he came to Maple Leaf City, he practiced hard every day, never slacked off, and his strength increased. He was already an elite warrior at level 28. At this level, at Fire Lion City, he could already become a knight captain.

The other two, one is Holman, and the rare female knight Emily, are both elite warriors of level 27.

These three people were not promoted by Rollin, but were all promoted by meritorious acts of destroying territorial bandits. Except for the criticism that Emily is a woman, the rest are convincing.

Although this trip was with a carriage, this thing was just a show of the count's trip. Rowlin didn't like to sit in that kind of closed space, so as soon as he left Maple Leaf City, Rowlin rode on the war horse in battle armor, and the carriage was left for the old butler Joni and a few servants.

In this world, the etiquette of superiority and inferiority is not too detailed, so there is no big problem with Joni and his servant sitting in Rolling's carriage. Of course, the core power has not changed, and the will of the superiors is never offensive.

Just like that, Rollin, three knights, a carriage, and twenty elite soldiers walked south along the avenue.

There are farmland on both sides of the avenue. It is the harvest month at this time, and the crops in the fields have matured. Farmers are busy harvesting. Seeing these crops grow happily one by one. The whole field is full of golden colors. Needless to say, this year should be a real harvest.

"Jonny, look at it. These farmers should have a large surplus of food this year, right?" Rollin slowed down and walked to the car window.

The old butler nodded in the carriage and saluted: "Master, you have not issued any conscript orders this year. These farmers have time to serve their crops, so that they can have a good harvest. According to this scenario, after this winter, your followers will gain a few pounds. They will definitely thank you for your kindness."

The expected compliment, Rollin likes to listen to it when he is fine, which always makes him feel happy.

"Sir, there are also many fewer bandits in the territory. Many of them were originally homeless homeless people. But they all planted crops with peace of mind because of your land division law." Emily smiled.

The law of dividing the land is one of the most important decrees issued by Luo Lin after he took the position of lord: that is, everyone, including criminals, except for murder, will be punished before they go to various towns to report to the corresponding land.

Of course, this move was opposed by many nobles in the territory. Because it greatly infringed on their interests and even caused a small riot, it was easily suppressed by Rollin.

The law also stipulates another article. That is, all murderers who commit murder can enter the army to serve as atonement. However, such people are not allowed to marry, will not be promoted, and will not leave the army. If they are not killed in battle within ten years, their past crimes will be written off. If they become free people, if they stay in the army, they will begin to accumulate military merits according to normal procedures.

This attracted a large number of criminals to join the army, and Rollin quickly filled all the vacancy, not only did he find nearly two thousand more people.

According to the Kingdom Act, these two thousand people must be disbanded, otherwise Rollin will be suspected of treason.

Of course, Luo Lin would not violate the sensitive nerves of the Grand Duke. He sent all these two thousand people to the northern Gordling Mountains as the mountain guard. The crime was exile, and at the same time he shouldered the responsibility of protecting the north and preventing the frost giant from going south.

Of course, since they have the responsibility of guarding, there are naturally people going to the north to teach these criminals martial arts and give them the most basic training and equipment. This is actually playing the edge ball.

But there is no way. The Frost Giant has always gone south recently, so no one refuted Rollin's statement. Everyone hopes to be safer when sleeping, rather than being smashed by giants from the north.

Through this land division law, all idle adult men in the territory no longer cause trouble everywhere and are put into production.

The security of the territory was unprecedentedly good. In addition, the soldiers suppressed bandits everywhere, and the bandits in the two counties led by Luolin were almost completely extinct.

This obvious achievement has made Luo Lin's reputation among the people.

Now, those civilians, whether they are farmers working in the fields or merchants running around, use the word "my master" to call the earl, and the "mine" indicates their sense of belonging.

However, Old Joni was a little worried: "But, Master, the tax rate you set this year is so low, and many places have exempted taxes. I'm afraid that the grain you earn from the barn this year will not be much more than in previous years."

In this era, food is the most precious wealth of noble lords, which has become a habitual thinking.

Luo Lin waved his hand and didn't care: "It won't be like this every year. As for grain, it is indeed time to store some grain in the granary. However, I have sent people to buy surplus grain from the public, so I guess it won't be short of it."

He has hundreds of thousands of gold coins in his hand, so it would be a waste to spend this money in the banknote as decoration. The best way is naturally to put it into the market and let them circulate.

Since this year is a bumper harvest, Luo Lin used the method of purchasing surplus grain to spread the coins into the people.

In this way, not only will every household avoid starving, but people will also have money in their hands. The minimum requirement for feeding their stomachs is already met, and they have money in their hands. Naturally, they have to buy clothes and buy more daily necessities to make their lives more comfortable.

In this way, some industries such as textile women, furniture manufacturers, agricultural tools merchants, blacksmiths, etc. will benefit one after another and develop.

In short, the field these coins flow to will be helped, just like dry fields irrigating clear springs.

And these coins will not slip away. When they flow throughout the territory, they will eventually return to his hands through taxation. And throughout the process, the entire society has created huge wealth.

This is Rolling's modern way of thinking and vision. Unlike other lords, the amount of coins in his hands is no longer a way for him to show off his wealth. He focuses on the prosperity of the entire territory, the productivity of the territory, and the talents in the territory.

In Rollin's view, these things are real wealth and can form a real force to fight against the undead army.

Of course, Old Joni knew Rollin’s approach. He stood at a low level, so he disagreed and could not understand it. But the lord’s authority was growing, and he would no longer refute the lord in words. So he could only say: “Master, you are a kind lord.”

"Haha, you scolded me again in your heart." Luo Lin smiled.

Old Joni was speechless and could only laugh dryly.

They chatted all the way. Five days later, the group left Maple Leaf County, and four more days later, traveled through Levin County, and entered the territory of the Grand Duke.

After walking on this territory for a while, Emily sighed: "Look at the farmers in the fields, they are listless, with no smiles on their faces, their bodies are skinny. The crops on the land are weak. I feel another world."

This is exactly two extremes from what I saw in the territory a few days ago, and it almost makes people feel like heaven and hell.

The three knights were all civilians. If the family was not too poor, and the lord was greedy and could not survive, who would have come out to be a mercenary? These past experiences made them particularly touched by this.

Holman also said: "I heard that this is the fief of Knight Wilson. It seems that this guy really doesn't know how to manage the territory."

"Haha. I don't think so." Langergo shook his head, he knew more: "The knight must prepare armor for his son. An ordinary pair of knight armor requires five hundred gold coins. For a knight with only one small fief, he must not only squeeze his own subordinates to maintain the decent knight and save money."

Anyway, in a word, it is just that the trouble caused by lack of money. Not all places are as wealthy as Vandom, and not all lords have hundreds of thousands of gold coins in their pockets like Rollin. As knights at the bottom of the nobles, most of their lives are very difficult.

When Holman and Emily heard this, they suddenly realized that their armor was rewarded by Rollin and had never been worried about it. Now that Longergo said this, he felt how lucky he was.

"It's really unexpected." Holman muttered. He had always longed for the scenery of the knights, but it turned out that it was just a scenery in front of people.

Emily glanced at the count in the middle of the team. The count was still talking to the old housekeeper, and did not hear the quiet communication between them.

Looking at the young lord, Emily suddenly felt a wonderful feeling, as if there was a magical power in him. Wherever he went, there would be changes due to him, and it would change in a good direction.

"What if he became king? Will his kingdom be as beautiful as Maple Leaf County and Levon County today?" Emily couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Just as the group was moving forward calmly, suddenly, a huge roar came from the sky, breaking the tranquility around it.

"It's a dragon!" A warrior screamed in dismay.

"Protect the Lord!" someone shouted.

"Kill!" The soldiers rushed towards Luo Lin without hesitation.

Rollin looked up and saw a huge black shadow pounce on him. The black shadow was indeed a dragon, spreading its wings, with a wingspan of fifteen meters wide, with blue and white scales on its body, and its muscles were extremely strong, but there was still a big gap compared to Viana or Eona's dragon body.

He stretched out his huge dragon claws and grabbed it from Rollin.

"It's a flying dragon, but the power of level 39 is here to seek death?" Luo Lin pulled out the sword at his waist and prepared to kill him.

Suddenly, he had something in his mind and thought of it directly, it was the voice of the flying dragon: "Earl, I have something to look for you. Don't resist, otherwise all your followers will die!"

Luo Lin looked at the scene of people around him surging. In this kind of scene, as long as the opponent smashed a magic spell, he could send all the soldiers to heaven.

With a flash of thought, Luo Lin made a decision, gave up fighting and took back the sword and shield.

"A wise choice!" Feilong smiled, stretched his claws and gently grabbed Luo Lin on the horse's back, flapped his wings, and flew to the sky.

The knights reacted, and Emily shouted loudly: "Die!"

She quickly drew out the arrow and kept shooting at the dragon in the sky, but the sword technique she was proud of did not work. The arrow hit the dragon scale, and a magical light would appear on the dragon scale, and ordinary arrows could not break it.

All the soldiers were anxious, but they could do nothing.

At this time, a voice came from the sky, and it was the lord's voice: "I'm fine, you continue to move towards the principality!" (To be continued)
