By the end of September, the wheat fields across the Karen Kingdom have basically been harvested.
In a year with good weather and good weather, the implementation of seed selection and the long farming system gave the kingdom an unprecedented "bumpy harvest"—compared to the past, the grain output was more than three times higher. For the cabinet that has begun to reform taxation, this It means that the national treasury has been greatly filled... because in this era, most of the tax collection is still carried out in the form of direct collection of grain.
In order to prevent the price of grain from falling sharply and harming the interests of farmers, the cabinet also set a minimum purchase price to ensure the stability of the grassroots. Although some trivial adjustments and losses are necessary, the rapid development has covered up most of the problems. Currently All classes are happy, and even the nobles who secretly conspired to make a coup d'etat temporarily stopped because they made enough money.
The minor nobles and commoners are very realistic: no one will overthrow a stable regime that allows them to live comfortably without fighting all day long, not to mention that the military level of this regime is currently the highest in the world. The introduction of the power of this weapon and the results of the battle, everyone knows what it will be like to fight with a bow and a knife.
Under such circumstances, the Karen Kingdom can be said to have ushered in the fastest growing stage in history. Because even the people at the bottom have gradually realized the benefits brought about by technological and magical changes.
After the surplus grain was purchased, the farmers who had surplus money and food began to buy daily necessities that could not be purchased in cities and towns before, and even some villages began to raise funds to purchase and build large machinery such as water mills—these things are in the process of technological improvement. , After the use of more precise metal bearings, the efficiency is improved and the price is reduced. Now the threshold of use has been greatly reduced.
And the small landlords who originally counted on the income from the land are now starting to focus on the new businesses that keep popping up in the city, one by one sharpened their heads and drilled into the city—because of the improvement and blowout of magic technology, this group of people Guys can be said to enter the market early and take off early. When the wind blows, they only need to invest their funds in, and they can get countless returns.
Magicians are not very interested in making money, and now they are like bees densely gathered in a hive, each of them is busy with their own research. But it is this kind of behavior, like a fusion reaction, that accelerates the entire magic world at an ever-changing speed, and rapidly advances the level of human understanding of the world.
This is a huge and invisible force. No mage would think about the future of the kingdom or even human beings, but their extremely efficient way of learning and improving is more like an engine that drives the entire world. The human world moves forward.
Trucks, trains, roads, and even ships and planes are rapidly iterating, and the traffic operation system around Elson City, Houllier City and Imperial City as the core is constantly improving. Because there is no shortage of food, a large number of low-level manpower began to leave the farmland and put them into the coal yard of the mine. The black smoke column rose, as if a god had pressed the "fast forward" button for the humans in the Karen Kingdom.
The southern port established from scratch has rapidly expanded and prospered. The technicians from Rahiman have guided the shipbuilding team of the Karen Kingdom to build a large dock. With the help of various types of magic machinery, based on the traditional structure, a steel battleship that can be jointly driven by "steam power" and spar energy was built.
This news is completely confidential, and even the parliament of the Rahiman Kingdom has no knowledge of it.
There is a thriving scene everywhere, and some small conflicts in the cabinet can't affect the overall situation at all. There was no rebellion in the kingdom, and occasional vicious incidents were dealt with quickly, and they were set up as a model through the efforts of propaganda agencies, thus further enhancing the prestige of the central government.
However, the people in the kingdom have a deep understanding of this change. For countries that have separated from the transportation system...such as the undead Tasman Empire and the small countries dotted across the east, the Karen Kingdom seems to them that the caravans have developed. I don't know anything else.
When Rody picked up the letter paper of the latest report, he blinked and sighed: "I almost forgot about this guy."
"Who is it?"
Camilla leaned over from her chair and leaned closer to him: "...the orc army attacked and occupied Les Fortress...orcs? Are you the ones you beat away?"
Sauron appeared in Rody's mind. Although this orc leader is definitely not as powerful as himself now, in terms of the opponent's ability, he can really be called the hero of the previous generation. Ever since he crossed the Karen Kingdom with the defeated army and managed to escape from the territory, Rody didn't pay much attention to the opponent's movements. After all, the investigation range of the "Intelligence Bureau" hadn't radiated so far.
The news I received at this time was actually three months ago. "Les Fortress" is still separated by several mountains from the eastern border of Karen, and the straight-line distance is more than 200 kilometers, so this news is probably brought back by the caravan.
Roddy didn't need to care about it at all, but some details were written at the back of the report: the orc army was so powerful in the battle that the defending soldiers couldn't resist at all, and it was declared lost within a day.
This made Roddy immediately think of the history of the orcs: they originally appeared in this world as demon vanguards. At the beginning, this group of guys destroyed most of the cities of the high elves in the state of forbidden magic, and scattered all over the world after the demons were repelled. After leaving this world and regaining sanity, after countless years of evolution and reproduction, it has become what it is today.
"This cannot be left alone. Their connection with the demon is probably closer than tiefling's connection with the demon. Maybe Kazwila has regained control of them in some way."
Roddy made a decision after a brief thought, while Camilla asked: "Contact Soderol now?"
Soderol finally flew back to the Kingdom of Karen half a month ago. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he has been awarded by Sally I, and he has been awarded the earl and territory.
However, the "Earl" at this time is completely different from the previous lords in terms of power and control. This is also a necessary means adopted by the central government to prevent local backlash.
As for Rody, the brother who fought side by side is actually considered the number one military leader—the latter’s political wisdom is enough to choose to hand over power. Now only when the cabinet collectively writes the power of attorney and Only after the power of attorney has the signature and seal of Queen Sally I, Soderol can have the right to lead the troops out, otherwise he would never go near the barracks on weekdays.
