After the shock, Huggins gestured to the guards beside him, beckoning them to gather more troops.

Todd reached out his hand to stop his movement, waved to Brunhild and said, "Come inside."

Hanging the spear again behind her back, the Valkyrie of Da Lala lifted her leg over the knight on the ground and walked to the gate of the chamber.

Huggins took a step diagonally, stopped in front of her, stared at the spear, gritted his teeth and said: "Before entering, you must first remove the weapon!"

Brunhild looked at the king who had disappeared in the depths of the hall and plunged his spear deeply into the soil without paying any attention.

Todd returned to the throne and ordered the attendants to bring some simple snacks, and found that the Valkyrie stood out among the crowd.

Some hunched monk Joe, looking at the 175 cm tall figure of Brunhild beside him, subconsciously gave way to the side.

Todd looked down at the seat and said, "Is the Kingdom of Muxi neglecting you?"

Brunhild shook his head.

"Then you miss your hometown and want to say goodbye?"

The Valkyrie, who is not familiar with the world, said directly: "We left to find the glory of the gods, how can we go back and continue to guard the tomb?"

Todd smiled and asked, "Then what is your purpose?"

"Fight!" Brunhild waved his arm vigorously: "We are the war maids of the gods, and the Valkyries charging forward! We can prove with our strength that the battlefield is the final destination!"

Todd did not speak, nor did he show affirmative or negative expressions.

Huggins, who was always paying attention to the king's expression, discussed with Cumberland next to him in a low voice, and said to Brunhild, "Do the Valkyries hope to become mercenaries of the kingdom?"

"Mercenary? The kind of scum that fights for money?! No, my sisters and I, by the way, and the North Island Warriors, I hope to join the Musi Knights!"

Huggins heard this, stayed for a while, exchanged an incredible look with Alfonso, and then hesitated to the woman: "Are you... planning to convert to Heavenly Father?"

A look of disgust appeared on Brunhild’s face: “Of course it’s impossible! We are believers of the North Island gods, and the Hall of Valor is the eternal destination!”

Huggins angrily took out the cross on his chest and said loudly: "The Knights of Twisie are the sword and shield of the Father, how could it be possible to agree to accept infidels..."

The back of Cumberland's hand slapped Huggins' thigh under the table, stopping the latter's conversation.

The old knight turned his face to Todd and asked slowly: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Todd looked around the people in the hall. Rachel and Jemro believed in the three gods of Gutello; the Valkyrie Brunhild served Odin, the king of the North Island gods; Southern scholars Kendy believes in God; the rest are believers of the Father.

The belief system of the Muxi Kingdom can now be said to be a mixed bag. With the expansion of the territory and the growth of the army, the religious beliefs of the future will be more complicated.

Although Todd himself made a speech on the day of the founding of the kingdom, emphasizing that the Kingdom of Muxi is a country with liberal religion and that heretics will not be judged or expelled, but the crushing and discrimination between religions has always been explicit or implicit. Exist, let alone an important field such as the military.

"Brynhild, sorry. The Knights of the West are Heavenly Father's army, and I can't agree to let you join."

The king's decision greatly disappointed the Valkyrie, and Huggins and Alfonso let out a sigh of relief.

Todd paused for a moment, and then said, "Although the Musi Knights cannot accept you, the Musi Kingdom can."

Everyone in the hall held their breath, and was baffled by the king's sudden word.

Todd continued with a smile: "The Kingdom of Muxi has always been an open and tolerant world. This place provides shelter for all those who have suffered injustice and are deeply persecuted. There will be no favoritism due to your religion, origin or even race. Exclude."

Brunhild cast a grateful look at Todd, and the other heretics in the hall showed expressions of admiration.

"I intend to establish the second army of the Muxi Kingdom, composed entirely of Valkyrie and North Islanders. You will gain the power to gallop on the battlefield, for the glory and for the kingdom." Todd looked at Brunhill. De's eyes: "The commander of the army will be borne by you, and the equipment and materials will be borne by the kingdom."

Looking at everything in front of him, unlike the stunned Huggins and Alfonso, Cumberland, the commander of the Twisi Knights, looked at Todd with a little approval and relief in his eyes, and the only words he said were himself. Can hear.

"Really more and more like a qualified king......"

——————————————

The Valkyries and the North Island warriors declared their allegiance to King Todd and established the kingdom's second army-the "North Island Knights", marking the beginning of the diversified military forces of the Western Kingdom.

But compared with this matter, the residents of Twilight City are more concerned about the newest way to get rich in the kingdom.

First of all, the advancement of shipbuilding and navigation technology in Muxicheng, coupled with the prosperity of maritime trade, has resulted in a large number of fleets rushing to the sea in pursuit of wealth.

Secondly, the "Patent Law" that protects inventions, the continuous growth of scholars, and the strong support of the wealthy people have resulted in the emergence of a variety of new products in the kingdom.

Finally, the ever-expanding population of the Muxi Kingdom and the ever-increasing demand for commodities have created a virtuous circle of wealth and rapid business growth.

The above three points, the increase in maritime trade, product technology, and domestic demand have caused a force that uses the economy as a driving force-capitalists, to gradually step onto the stage of history.

This force includes scholars with patents, merchants who accumulate wealth, and fleets of maritime trade. They have built a complete business chain from product research, starting farms, building workshops, setting up shops, and finally to ocean trade.

This power prospered by commerce gradually penetrated into every corner of the Western Kingdom. Begin to influence this emerging kingdom in many ways.

The first point is to help the Muxi Kingdom deal with refugees. Whether it is product development or production processing, free labor is an indispensable factor. Due to the particularity of the Muxi Kingdom, there are almost no serfs attached to the nobles and landlords, and the labor costs of the residents of Muxi are too high. Therefore, in order to obtain qualified labor, the capitalists set their sights on the cheap refugees in the outer city.

They educate the refugees to ensure that they master basic work skills; they also provide food and lodging to the refugees to ensure that these people are always **** with a paper contract. Although these behaviors are based on interests, they also accelerate the urbanization process and the education penetration rate from the side.

The second point is the creation of the enclosure movement~lightnovelpub.net~ The production and processing of products require a lot of land. Take the popular product of Twilight City-"Essential Oil of Nocturnal Flower" as an example, just the "raw material processing plant" of the product. "You need two hundred acres of land, and if you add the drying, purification, and bottling sites, the perfume industry alone can develop the scale of a small town.

However, the land in and around Muxi City has basically been planned in detail and cannot be occupied. What should I do? The capitalists cast their sights on the "aristocratic fief" that the Knights of Muxi had plundered but gave up the occupation. These lands were originally owned by the silver ring nobles, but the outbreak of the war made them all become "public wastelands". Originally, people were worried that King Todd would ban development, but after hitting on the sidelines, it was discovered that the King not only did not oppose, but rather supported the reuse of the "public wasteland". As long as the capitalists pay a pitiful rent, they can obtain the right to use the land from the royal family for 20 to 40 years.

The third point is the development of agricultural productivity. Unlike the small peasant economy in the Middle Ages, the rise of capital power promoted the development of agriculture and rural productivity. Due to the long-term cheap lease of land, most capitalists are more willing to invest in new crops, add good fertilizers, use better tools, reform the drainage system, and adopt advanced farming methods to increase yields.
