Chapter 296 A brand new country (two in one! Subscription!)

The signing of the "Valence Treaty" meant the end of this war, but after sending away Simon Griffith as the messenger of Odin, the Idar army was not in order under the leadership of Sam Layton. Retreat.

  Yes, the victory of this war did make the Idar leader the most powerful vassal in the eastern part of the empire, but it also allowed the northern border of the Duchy of Idar to extend from the Sauron River to the Valens Plain.

  And this also puts forward more demands on the land defense system of the newly born Duchy of Idar.

The Stranglethorn Valley to the west of Idar is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and to the south is the Mann Fortress to guard the pass. Only the Valence Plain, which has just become a new border, is extremely unsuitable for military defense.

  If you want to build a border defense line on the open and flat plains, it will generate a huge amount of extravagance.

Although Bruno likes to spend huge sums of money to build wonders, but the premise is that the wonders that can bring an important role to the current Idar Principality are the wonders that can be rewarded by the wonder construction system. This is the case of the Hagia Sophia under construction, which has been built before. The same is true of spectacles.

Obviously, if a complete fortification is to be built on the Valens Plain, not only will Idal be unable to receive a reliable spectacle bonus, the money, food, building materials, and manpower required will also be consumed. It is an astronomical number.

and,

  A seemingly solid line of defense like this may not be able to achieve the expected effect in the end.

about this point,

  The Maginot Line built by the Gallic Chicken in the previous life, and now the 14th Fortress of Northern Frontier that stands in the northern part of the empire, are all excellent examples.

Hanscat circumvents the Maginot defense line that Gallic Chicken has painstakingly managed, and Odin's cavalry sneaks into the aristocratic territory south of the Warcraft Forest. These defenses, painstakingly managed by the owner, have not played their due role. .

   Therefore, after countless deductions, Bruno finally came up with a plan that everyone felt feasible.

   Bruno did not believe that the Norman royal family, who was busy fighting the civil war, was in the mood to come to their own Idar Principality to brush their presence.

  And in the eyes of most Idars, if the Norman army set foot on the land of the Duchy of Idar without permission, it would be equivalent to a tortoise entering the blacksmith's shop-looking for a hammer.

   But even so, in order to protect the newly born Idar Principality regime and defend the peace and stability of the Valence Plain, the Idars who are prepared for a rainy day will still build two lines of defense on this brand new land.

The first line of defense is based on the large and small towns on the Valence Plain. Through the construction of fortresses and guard posts and regular deployment of soldiers from the Idar Army troops, a team can be built on the Valence Plain to maintain the relative stability of the Valence Plain. Garrison forces.

  The second line of defense is a more tight line of defense constructed by the Idar Army and Idar Artillery Units relying on the River Eide.

Similar to the frontier inspection style adopted by the Idars on the Solon River, the Idar will build a bridge on the Eide River, set up a border inspection customs, combat illegal entry and smuggling, and isolate all uncertainties from the Aide as much as possible. On the Valence Plain west of the De River.

  Although Bruno wanted to cover every corner of the Duchy of Idar with the magical transmission system of Idar, he never thought of replicating the unique magical industrial system of the Duchy of Idar on the Plain of Valence.

  At least in a short time,

  Before the land east of the Ide River was completely industrialized by magic,

  Idarland’s important pillar industries will not appear on the land on the west bank of the Aide River.

indeed,

  The terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, and the climate is suitable, making it extremely suitable for farming.

  There are a large number of civilians and serfs living in the village. There are countless noble farms and cultivated land scattered on the plain. The extremely suitable water and soil conditions have supported countless people at the bottom who are struggling to survive.

but,

  This does not cover up the problems on the Valence Plain.

  The flat and open geographical environment and the large and small scattered villages and farms make it impossible for the Idar army to conduct effective information screening on the personnel and infiltration by other forces.

In addition, there are almost no mineral resources on the Valence Plain, so...For Valence Plain, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry without any technical content, and the city of Valence will be turned into a pure commercial town. , Is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

  And in the military,

  The city of Valence can indeed become a strong fortress, but once it faces an invasion by foreign enemies, the enemy’s army can completely bypass this city in the middle of the Plain of Valence!

  However, this does not mean that the city of Valence is not important.

  On the contrary, all the people of Idar, including Bruno, regard the city of Valence as an inseparable part of the Duchy of Idar and follow the laws and regulations of the Duchy of Idar.

it's here,

  Serfs also have the opportunity to become free men,

  People at the bottom can also get better means of living through their own efforts,

  The Valence Plain will always exist as an important grain producing area in the Principality of Idar, providing sufficient grain or cash crops for further processing and sale.

In Bruno’s vision, it will become the hub of land trade between the Duchy of Idar, the Norman Empire and the Odin Empire. There will be countless business travelers passing through here, becoming the largest in the eastern part of the empire besides the Idar Territory. Transportation and trade hub!

  Although the tragic massacre occurred when the Odins invaded the eastern part of the empire, Bruno was confident that the city of Valence and the Plains of Valence would glow with new vigor and vitality under his rule.

  Furthermore, the Valence Plain has a very good foundation. It is the most developed and most populous place in the eastern part of the empire, except for the Idar Territory.

The Hastings family, the former ruler, has poured a lot of effort into this land. Ten years of crazy prodigal activities, the heritage of the Hastings family is still reflected in all aspects of the Valence Plain.

  So that after experiencing slaughter and plunder, when the Idarling finally took over the land, the number of serfs and civilians living on the Valence Plain was still as high as 80,000.

  They worked day and night under the exploitation of the Hastings family, and created countless wealth for the largest wealthy aristocrat in the eastern part of the empire.

  And now,

  The era of the Hastings family is over,

  The Principality of Idar has become the new master of this land.

On the second day of the signing of the "Valence Treaty", Old Ford began to organize the accompanying Idar officials to sort out the population on the Valence Plain, sort out the documents left by the Hastings family, and start trying to build a management system The grassroots management system of the Valence Plain.

so,

  In order to gather people's hearts as soon as possible, ensure the orderly progress of spring ploughing, and provide sufficient grain reserves for Idarling, the most important measure at the moment is...

  Fight local tyrants and divide fields!

  It is obviously impossible to divide the land of the nobility directly, because Bruno himself is a member of the noble class.

   Even if Bruno couldn’t think about it, he wouldn’t deny himself.

   Therefore, the nobles who fled the eastern part of the empire were all labeled as traitors by Old Ford, and the land owned by these nobles naturally became the property of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.

Then……

  The benevolent duke lent the land to the people for farming,

  This is reasonable!

   There is a saying, if this is playing a game, Idalling would have rebelled due to over-expansion.

  But sometimes, reality is reality after all. The hungry and cold people in the eastern part of the empire have never had the concept of a country, so...the annexation of Idaran did not arouse resistance among the people.

  Although the people don’t know which power the Idar elder is, it’s better than becoming a slave to the Odin.

  As for the fields assigned to the nobles...

   To be honest, this is something they can’t even think of.

So when the officials of the Duchy of Idar came to the villages and towns on the Valens Plain and announced this order issued by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar himself, the people at the bottom still found it difficult. Believe that, some people even think that the Idar officials who read the decree are liars.

after all……

  How did the former noble lords read these newly issued decrees to themselves?

  ……

   "Your former lord fell on his knees in front of the Odins, abandoning the dignity of being a Norman nobleman. They are shameful traitors!"

"Now, Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, defeated the Odin’s offensive, maintained the stability of the empire, and restored the order of the empire, so...from now on you will all become citizens of the Principality of Idar. Obey the laws of the Principality of Idar!"

"Bruno Stuart, the great Duke of Idar, is merciful! He is willing to lease these vast lands to all the civilians on the Valence Plain to cultivate them for free, and the only thing you need to bear is to harvest. At the time of the year, pay a fully affordable tax to your Lord Duke."

  In the following days, the officials of the Idar led walked in every corner of the Valence Plain.

  Under the **** of Idar soldiers, they announced to all the people living on the Valens Plain the decision from Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.

   caused an uproar on the entire Valence Plain.

  Because in the eyes of the people in the Valence Plain, how is such a move different from the Kingdom of Heaven preached by the Church of Light?

  Even the most humble serfs finally saw hope.

  That's right!

  They don’t know if the noble Duke of Idar will really fulfill the promise he made, but...

  He at least made a promise and gave the serfs the hope of becoming a free man!

  And any aristocrat before this, did not even want to let serfs and civilians appear in his sight!

  ……

  After briefly introducing the situation on the Valence Plain in the letter, Old Ford finally led his attendants to the city of Valence, stationed in the city where **** slaughter had taken place.

  The blood has already dried up, but the ashes and ruins burned by the flames still show the atrocities of the Odin people in the past.

  The redistribution of the land made the people on this land grateful, and at the same time, the reconstruction of the city of Valence began to proceed in an orderly manner.

  After all, the Odins do not have such heavy weapons as magic cannons. Therefore, except for the houses built with thatch and wood, the city of Valence still basically retains its original appearance.

  Sturdy city walls, towering castles, although there are still blood stains in the stairs and aisles, but with a little repair, this largest city on the Valence Plain can become a bridgehead for Idar to look inland!

Old Ford gathered the food stored in the warehouse by the Hastings family. These tons of food were difficult to carry, so naturally they became the trophies of the Idars, and they were used by Old Ford to rebuild and restore the city of Valence. An important "magic weapon" of order.

  Open the warehouse and put the grain, and pay for the work.

  After cooperating with Bruno to build several wonders, Old Ford is already familiar with it.

  The model of production team and construction team was "transplanted" to this land intact. Those people who were not allocated the land were all arranged by Old Ford into the construction team.

  In short, as long as everyone is moved to do what they can, and can support themselves and even their family with their own hands, then the social order will naturally stabilize.

  Re-distribute their residences and redistribute their jobs. The people living on this land have vaguely realized that what they are about to welcome is a completely different life from the past, a brand new future!

  ……

  While the Valence Plain gradually became well-organized under the old Ford’s jurisdiction, the same changes were taking place in the rest of the lands that had just been brought under the rule of the Duchy of Idar.

  Due to the rapid expansion of the territory of the Idar Territory, the entire Idar Principality is facing a shortage of manpower.

but……

   Even so,

  Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

  The grassroots self-government system and the management model of the strike-worker community that have been promoted in Idar before have provided Bruno with many well-trained civilian officials.

  They may not have a prominent background or title of nobility, but they can become the cornerstone of the Stuart family's rule.

  A civilian official was dispatched to every corner of the Principality of Idar. Because they came from a civilian family, they were more able to empathize with the civilians, and understood what the low-level people needed and desired.

so……

  When everyone thinks that the Principality of Idar will be overwhelmed by these sudden trivialities, all the hidden dangers that may arise have actually been calmed down by the Idars in the bud.

The Duchy of Idar is indeed a vassal of the Norman Empire, but all Idars understand that under the rule of the Stuart family, the Duchy of Idar will grow into a place completely different from the Norman Empire. !

  Perhaps,

  At this moment, it is still slowly growing.

  But sooner or later, all the civilians and serfs on this continent will know that in the east of this continent, there is a new country that is like a heaven on earth!

  In that country, they can create value through labor, and they can welcome a brighter future under the leadership of the Stuart family!

  Idar’s army is slowly withdrawing,

The people led by Idar yelled in the newspaper waving their hands~lightnovelpub.net~ The students of the Double Point Academy sat in the classroom, listening attentively to the teacher in front of the Idar soldiers fighting bravely. Brilliant deeds.

this day,

this moment,

  When the news of the establishment of the Principality of Idar spread to thousands of households,

  For the first time, a commoner feels sincerely excited for the promotion of nobility,

  For the first time, people rushed to announce the establishment of the Duchy of Idar.

  March 20, 538 in the new calendar,

  Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, received the award from the Norman imperial family, witnessed by officials at all levels of the Idar and representative places of the people.

  The Principality of Idar,

formally established……

  　 I think this chapter is a bit verbose, but in fact a large part of the content has been deleted and changed. After all, the Principality has just been established, and there are some details that need to be mentioned... tomorrow is three!
