Exactly what Benjamin said, and that's the main reason why George gave the 'regional sales manager' the benefit.

Benjamin's business routes and channels in the Kingdom of Elda are very large. Not to mention other cities, there are more than a dozen large stores in the capital alone.And these stores and stores in various cities have already laid out marketing networks, and there is no one that cannot be established in ten or eight years.

In addition, the person in charge of this guy's various stores maintains a deep interest relationship with the dignitaries and city lords in the local area, so Layton mentioned this person to George more than once.Leighton felt that Benjamin was an indispensable talent in this regard.

After finishing all this, Wendell looked out the window - the figure of the great lord had left the castle and walked towards the church.Wendell knew that the big boss should be planning to leave today.

He looked at Earl Benjamin and talked to him about the last thing - the army.

It's a talk, but it's actually an explanation or a counterpart - Benjamin will lend most of his army to 'Duke Tanya' in the form of mercenaries.There are only more than 1000 people left in the book for appearance.

And Tania, in the name of pacifying the disaster, announced that this employment is the obligation of the vassals-the employment fee is very small, which is almost meaningless.

The current army in the territory is actually in the hands of the Dawn Knights.All that's missing is a name.So for this employment, it is considered to give Benjamin a good reputation, and let him be praised by the nobles of the kingdom outside-in times of crisis, lending troops to the lord is not only an obligation, but also a very honorable thing.

The fact that Qiongying's vassals can do this shows that the Duke of Qiongying is loved by his vassals, and it also shows that Qiongying is united from top to bottom.

The various great lords of the kingdom have not hesitated to praise Qiongying's retainers, and at the same time hope that their vassals can follow suit.

According to another rumor, what happened to Qiongying was all done by Prince Alfonso, which made the prince's reputation and momentum in the capital even stronger.

"Thank you for your care. It is indeed a great honor for me to lend the army to Miss Tanya." Benjamin's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he knew that this was a way of giving himself enough face.

And when he heard that Qiongying paid for the army's food, food and army construction expenses, he was even more relieved.

You know, this army is usually fine, but every time there is a riot, he has to throw a lot of money to the army-especially his own knights.

However, in the hands of this great lord, there was no riot in the local area.And after those knights became the subordinates of the great lord, not only did they not work as hard as they did under their own subordinates before, or open their mouths and said that they lacked things and asked for money), they also actively carried out military training and various tasks .

——For the position of the church, they fought over their heads.Especially after they discovered that those soldiers were also their competitors, they began to donate money to the Church of Dawn!

After Earl Benjamin completely signed the agreement on the 'mercenary army' that day, the hearts of the noble knights became much lighter.

Earl Benjamin felt much lighter.

He can already see that what the great lord is doing up and down Qiongying is to centralize power!

He's going to be that 'Wilhelm II! 'A certain king who had successfully centralized power in the history of the Eldar)

If I still hold so many soldiers in my hands, with the strength of this great lord, if I can't handle this relationship a little bit in the future, this head will have to move.

Benjamin knew that in the future, apart from 'Youdlan' and others, probably no one would have a real army in their hands.And it is said that the great lord is already arranging official positions in the sanctuary for them!

He didn't have the military ability and feats of Udran and the others, so he couldn't walk this road of allegiance.But he felt that he could still create a future by taking the road of Leiden.

And maybe this future is even better than the future I once had.

0465 Get rid of poverty and go to a well-off life

After dealing with these matters, George returned to the local church.For so many years, the power of faith of the believers of the local seven gods could not rise to the kingdom of heaven, and most of them gathered in the church.This is the case with Eagle Castle.

Because these powers of faith have been accumulated here for too long, they have been somewhat corrupted by the fog.Therefore, after being stored in the Book of Dawn, it is of little use, and it is easy to affect the Book of Dawn after being stored for too long.However, if it is directly used to make the 'God's Torch', it is possible.

In addition to these powers of faith, there are also many powers of hope in the territory.In the past few days, Wendell and the others have been doing ideological work locally, giving various speeches to the leaders in the church every day.After the residents found the hope of life, they gathered a lot of strength. After the collection, there were forty to fifty thousand.

After leaving a large number of divine torches for Wendell and the others, George took Anubis to other territories overnight.There is a lot of food and finances in Earl Benjamin's castle, which is enough for this year, allowing Wendell and the others to show their talents here.

Later, under Wendell's organization, the local army was reorganized, which was different from the third-line army of Qiongying, and was closer to the appearance of the early Bianhe army.The main weapon is the spear, and the main formation is the "Macedonian phalanx" that Garvey used to deal with the Zombies in the early days, and the troops are relatively single.

As for the military salary, the average is 1 silver fox per month.And the daily meals are much more filling than before.Compared with the previous treatment given by the earl, this can be said to have increased several times.

Compared with the training of the Qiongying troops, the training of this fourth-line agricultural reclamation soldier is the same as that of Garvey's private soldiers in the early days, with an average of one training every three days.And like Garvey back then, this troop invested more in territorial security, farming, and construction.And this organized army is much more efficient than farmers in the construction of canals and the like.

Only the 500 knights and the guardian knights and instructors of the local 'main church' are also [-] people who have really maintained the same level of training as the sanctuary).

Many of them can become the seeds of the Knights of the Dawn, and in George's plan for this army, the main task of this army in the future is to deal with the very large number of bandits and monsters such as zombies in the Qiongying Principality .

And among the more than 9000 people, only a dozen forbidden priests like Wendell and the Dawn Knights lead the team, and their strength will leap forward.It is simply impossible to wipe out the disaster of a complete Shushu Manor.

For these soldiers, many of them were originally soldiers because they had no choice but to have a full meal.But now they have a salary and a future, and the sergeants can't help being very active.And when they learned that they had all become external staff members of the Cathedral of the Dawn, the whole army was full of energy. After George left here, the local Dawn Knights led some people to wipe out several bandits nearby. group.He also beheaded some of those who hid the loot, and gradually wore down the bandit-like temperament that was originally left on the militiamen.

After this battle, the troops started to get back on track.The military discipline of the troops has become stricter, and the spirits of the soldiers have also improved.

Before Earl Benjamin took some knights to the capital, Wendell held a military parade and sent him off in the school grounds.The uniform team made Earl Benjamin somewhat unable to recognize that this was his former army.

After George left Benjamin's territory, he went around to other territories.Matters in each territory are progressing very well.From some reports, George can see that many small teams have not been smooth sailing, but they have successfully dealt with the accidents and crises one after another, and completed the tasks assigned to them.

The people sent by Leiden have even bought spices in these territories.Because there was no intervention from the lords and squires this time, the acquisition was very thorough.

The situation in each territory is basically the same as that of Benjamin.The mayors and mayors are establishing new systems in these territories and freeing the minds of the citizens.And these citizens and soldiers who own the fields and support the new policy will also become the cornerstone of supporting the local governors.

This cornerstone cannot be shaken by any nobleman. The so-called earl, they can do whatever they want!

After the inspection, and gradually walking towards the green hills, George saw that the land and rivers had thawed, and waterwheels and canals were beginning to be built.The entire Qiongying land is being slowly redistributed. This time, there will be no nobles or monks blocking the production of the common people.And this time, they will also have a more scientific way of farming.

Originally, the grain production in the Qiongying territory was only 1 bushel per acre on average, which was far from the 12 bushels per acre expected by the shelter this year (including sweet potatoes and potatoes).However, according to the reports of various consuls, it should not be a problem to achieve an average grain production of 4 bushels this year.

The planting methods are basically the same, and there are more horses and cattle here.Just lack of sunlight.So George believes that this goal is achievable.

At present, the demographic work of the entire Qiongying has been completed, and the population of Qiongying is more than 400 million including refugees and black households.Among the population of more than 400 million, farmers account for the vast majority.There are about 300 million farmers responsible for grain fields.

As for the land for food production, after re-measurement, it is about 7000 million mu—in fact, it is more than [-] million mu. The land that the nobles did not report is beyond the imagination of the Qiongying family.But this year only [-] million mu are suitable for cultivation.

These 300 million people are about 80 households and 50 communities.On average, every two households have one cow or horse, and each household is responsible for 10 mu of grain-producing fields, plus [-] mu of spice or grape fields to serve Duke Qiongying and obtain some output).

Two households have one cow and horse, and the cows and horses of more than a dozen households in each community are tied together for intensive farming. These fields will be plowed soon.

On average, each person over the age of 14 is responsible for 15 mu of grain fields and 5 mu of other fields.This is half of the completed labor, allowing them to work more delicately and have more time to participate in the construction projects of the territory.

According to the land agreement signed between the consuls and the farmers, they can get half of the grain produced by the 50 mu of land—that is to say, each family will have one hundred bushels of grain this year.

Twenty bushels of wheat would be enough to feed the family, and fifty bushels of grain would be enough for their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, if only for their own consumption.Coupled with some other labor income, next year the residents will be able to wear a new set of warm clothes, and the poor will be able to repair their houses.

At present, many residents live in houses built with mud or stones. Compared with formal houses, the engineering quantities of the two types of houses are actually not much different, mainly due to technology.

Cement was researched by scholars when repairing the big city wall, and it was used to match the magic spider—it was similar to George's impression.

Wendell's teams have brought various technologies into various places.These new houses will make next year's winter easier.

Even the cattle and horses have been distributed according to the community and household registration. The cattle and horses are the same as the fields. Most of them belong to the nobles, and the largest part of the livestock belongs to Tanya.

After distributing them, the citizens are now helping to raise them.But the people of the land can get great benefits from the by-products of livestock and newborn cubs.Generally speaking, the income will exceed their breeding fees.

Originally, the residents thought that they would only lend them to cultivate their fields, but this policy made them completely regard these livestock as their own family property.

After Wendell's team hung up the ointment on the nobles and distributed it to the common people, the people in the entire territory were considered to be out of poverty and ran towards a well-off life.
