"Your Majesty Caesar, welcome to your loyal Lu Wenling, and hope that you and your Majesty the Queen can have a wonderful experience here."

Looking at the respectful Maximilian and the nobles in front of him, Richard nodded casually, and while gesturing to the guard to bring his horse, he said: "My dear Maximilian, I So far we have been on a parade with my wife. I hope that Lu Wenling under your control will give us a surprise."

"This is my honour, Your Majesty." Maximilian said, and Richard's horse was also brought over. He quickly took the reins and served Richard himself on the horse, and then he and his men The nobles rode on horses together.

The team set off again, Richard and Maximilian walked at the forefront of the team, while talking about the current situation of Lu Wenling, listening to the latter's introduction, Richard's situation gradually became clear to Richard. Under the hard work of Count Maximilian in this country, Christianity has penetrated into the daily lives of all residents. Looking around, there is almost no infidel in the territory.

With the system’s loyalty to Christians, this country has become the most loyal to Richard except for Kuban. According to the system’s recruitment restrictions, this country will be Richard’s most stable. The source of troops provides points.

Let’s take a look at Lu Wenling’s military strength. In Lu Wencheng’s garrison sequence alone, there are a large group of spear militia and a large group of crossbow militias. In addition, the German nobles can also pull together. The number of conscripts is about five or six hundred, and the number of knights varies.

This really gave Richard a big surprise. The total number of garrisons in Lu Wencheng alone was 1,010 militias, plus the levies of the nobles, this country can even fight the war. The kingdom of Ramirez recovered from the fight against it. After the main force was defeated by Richard, the kingdom of Ramirez has always had the vicious buff of weak military strength.

In addition to the development of military strength, Lu Wenling also has a good harvest in terms of economy. Relying on the fishery and other conveniences of Luwen River, he can not only catch a large number of fertile fresh fish from the river, but also irrigate the fields on the Luwen Plain. (It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of the previous decisive battle with the main force of the Ramirez Kingdom. Under the nourishment of flesh and blood, the land here is more fertile than other places, and the harvested crops are more than other places. ), the two-pronged approach of fishery and agriculture, without the harassment of war, allowed Lu Wenling's economy to recover.

In addition, Maximilian also moved the hydraulic mill, which is very common in Europe, to this world (I don’t know why, there is no hydraulic mill in this world, and people can only drive the mill through manpower). The stones transported from Mengba City are built one after another on the Luwen River. Compared with the wooden structure, the stone building is significantly stronger and has the effect of preventing the spread of fire.

This action was unexpected by Richard. To be precise, he did not find out about it and did not take any measures against it. However, in fact, even if he found out, he would have nothing to do with it. Ignore knowledge. But Maximilian was different. Although he was a nobleman and didn't know how to build it, he would ask the soldiers of the army and appoint the other party to be responsible for the construction of the first hydraulic mill.

This may be the difference between specialized and amateur rulers. Richard comforted himself this way.

...

A few days after Lu Wenling's inspection, the team went north to enter Mengba Ling. Two or three years have passed. This is the first time Richard has returned to his homeland after conquering here. However, when he returned here again, he found Mengba. The city is in decline compared to a few years ago. As the only mineral resources on the edge of Mengba City that can support the local finances have been depleted, many locals have lost employment opportunities. In order to live, they have to be forced to leave the country and enter the more affluent Lu Wenling. As a result, the population of the city has been drastically reduced, and the houses in the city have been abandoned in large numbers and fell into disrepair for a long time, as if they would collapse at any time.

Of course, the departure from the homeland will basically only happen in the city of Mengba. In the territory of the barons and viscounts, escape is absolutely not allowed. The nobles will send out troops to patrol the territory. Once the people who intend to escape are caught, Heavy penalties will be given to warn you.

It's no wonder that the nobles are nervous, because the civilians in the confinement can be regarded as his private property. If he wants to cultivate the land to create wealth for him, who would watch his property run away without taking precautions?

When Richard entered Mengba City, he understood the horrible situation more clearly. The population of Mengba City has dropped sharply to less than four thousand people. Public security is chaotic. Every day, public security reports such as theft and robbery are delivered to the public. On the official’s desk, but the sheriff has no way to manage this, because the city defense forces under him do not even have two hundred people, and only a few dozen soldiers can wear armor out of those less than two hundred people. Among them are still Tattered leather armor accounted for the majority ~lightnovelpub.net~ The small number of people and poor equipment are not the most important thing. More importantly, these soldiers slack off all day and stand in the city with a greasy spear. Standing guard at the gate or on the city wall, even when standing guard, he would not do his best, but chat with his companions about the mountains, or else he would act at the civilians entering and leaving the city gate and yelled loudly.

It can be said that Mafujia Tering is the wealthiest country in the entire kingdom, and Cork is the poorest country in the entire kingdom, so Mengba Ling is the worst country in the entire kingdom. No matter where you look at it, it is very Rotten, if it weren't for that minefield was still struggling to support it, Mengba-ling could replace Kok-ling as the poorest place.

In the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion in Mumba City, Richard summoned three officials in the city: the city officer, the sheriff, and the militia captain (in fact, the role of the latter can be replaced by the sheriff, because the militia captain is responsible for training the city defense army. , And command the defense of the city during the war, and the sheriff is to command the city defense army to maintain order in peacetime. It is worth mentioning that the sheriff in other cities has a law enforcement team similar to the police, but Mengba City is really It was too decayed, so he could only merge the law enforcement team into the city defense army, and let the city defense army part-time law enforcement team). Before coming here, he had been ignorant of the situation of Mengba collar, but now he is here, as Mengba The lord of the leader, he is obligated to change all of this. Even if there is no way to make this country and Lu Wenling on the same level, at least he must prevent its decline and let it slowly develop in a good direction.
