Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 491: : inspection and attack
Simon successfully reached a consensus with the crown prince. He transferred the cement and concrete technology to the royal family, changed clothes for 50,000 soldiers of the Second Army for free, and started a confrontation with the northern lord after the crown prince ascended the throne.
At the same time, the royal family will also report through Simon's territory.
In fact, since the moment the royal family decided to send someone to inspect the territory, the two parties had secretly reached a tacit agreement, and the rest was just to see how much the price would be.
Obviously, Simon's bid satisfied the crown prince.
Let's not talk about the rapid development of the rapid construction technology that can bring to the Silvermoon Kingdom, let's talk about the full refit of the Second Legion, which was originally beyond the reach of the royal family.
The mining and training techniques in this world are not well developed. Usually weapons and armor are hand-forged by blacksmiths, and the price has always been ridiculously expensive. Therefore, even the soldiers of the standing army, most of them can only wear leather armor.
Half-body plate armor, chain mail, scale armor, and plate armor, these armors have better defensive power, but are more expensive, and have always been the standard equipment of officers, retinues, and knight masters.
Ordinary soldiers wear plate armor, which is almost like a dream.
Choosing half-body plate armor instead of chain mail and scale armor with superior mobility and protection area, of course Simon also has his own little abacus. Regardless of other things, let's just talk about the most critical point, the manufacturing process.
The production process of chain mail and scale armor is cumbersome, but half-body plate armor is different. Iron ore that takes time to forge can be turned into steel ingots in a blast furnace, and then constructed with a steam engine. Stamping line.
With sufficient manpower, this kind of half-body plate Simon can make hundreds of sets in a day.
The territory has just started, and the things to be dealt with are quite cumbersome. How could he waste time in such a place? Of course, the simpler the better, the less time-consuming it is.
As for considering the feelings of soldiers?
Please, you can wear a half-body plate armor that can basically defend your vitals like a squire, what are you dissatisfied with, these soldiers will die laughing in their dreams, okay?
There is also cement and concrete technology, which is actually not a big problem.
Because what Simon handed over was the alchemist version of the crafting technology. Although the cost and construction time were greatly reduced compared with the traditional construction method, the output was too low, and it could not be widely promoted after all.
The mass production technology of Bluestar Heavy Industry is still in his head, and he will use it when needed. Since he is such a genius in the eyes of the world, it is okay to come up with an improved version!
"Take me around the territory. Since I'm here to inspect the territory, I can't keep chatting with you like this!" The crown prince joked after taking a sip of the brewed black tea.
Of course, there is no problem with Simon. The guards with the crown prince and the king's sword, as well as a group of new army soldiers, first wandered around the town.
Seeing the lord and a nobleman on patrol, the people walking on the road showed panic on their faces, and spontaneously bowed their heads respectfully to let the road out of the way. This is an instinctive memory formed by being oppressed by the nobles for a long time.
The crown prince didn't care, and was still looking around the town curiously. He didn't see these people at all, and he didn't care about them at all.
Simon didn't care either. The world's evils are too deep, and it will be impossible to reverse it for a while. He can only use new methods and time to subtly change people's thinking. Even if he sympathizes now, it will be useless, because these people will not appreciate it at all.
"What are these strange-looking houses?" The crown prince asked, pointing to the two-story side-by-side apartment. This modern architectural style of Blue Star is indeed very different from the traditional buildings in this world, which can be seen at a glance.
"These are houses, built by the territory, and distributed free of charge to the settled people. They can be leased or bought and sold, but only one set is issued to each household, and they will not be reissued if they are lost." Simon said slowly.
The crown prince nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Can I go and have a look?"
"Of course." Simon didn't show the slightest embarrassment, and took the crown prince to an apartment that hadn't been occupied yet, and a group of people started to walk around and observe.
"Can this set of small rooms really be used by a family?" Looking at the tight layout of the room, the crown prince frowned and wondered. Even if it was only distributed to ordinary people for free, it still seemed a bit crowded for a family to live together.
"Is it small?" Looking at the three-bedroom, one-living-room, and one-kitchen apartment in front of him, with a total area of 120 square meters, Simon scratched his head and was speechless. This is already huge on Blue Star, okay?
Suddenly stunned, he replied with a wry smile: "Your Highness, didn't I tell you before? In the new law, all adults must set up their own family."
In this era, it is quite normal for a large family, adults and minors, married and unmarried, to live together, and there are dozens of people in total. The Crown Prince considered it based on this situation.
However, the new law enforces the separation of households. As long as they are adults, they must set up their own households. There are no more than five or six people in a household. There is no such problem of overcrowding in houses.
After hearing this, the crown prince was a little dazed at first, then suddenly realized, and then frowned tightly, and asked, "Will the people be dissatisfied with the mandatory separation of families?"
Simon also showed a thoughtful look, and said: "Well, according to the policy of the new law, the separation of households will also have many benefits for the people. Even if they resist, it should not be too intense."
This system, which he evolved according to Shang Jun’s policy of separating households between two men, has many benefits, but it seems to be very difficult to implement, but who cares, he is crossing the river by feeling the stones and taking one step at a time. Let's go!
A large family lived together, not to mention the issues of etiquette, justice, shame and clan power, but the simplest issues of hygiene and disease, all of which greatly hindered the development of the territory.
Because the level of medical care in this world is still very poor, and many methods are related to extraordinary powers. The people simply cannot afford serious diseases and infectious diseases, and can only fight with meager and lowly lives. This is something Simon absolutely does not want to see of.
The crown prince nodded, and asked again: "How should the public's garbage and defecation problems be solved?"
This problem sounds dirty, disgusting and low-level, but Simon didn’t laugh, because this problem is really serious. If garbage and feces are not handled well, breeding mosquitoes and foul odors are trivial matters, the most important thing is that it is easy to breed germs and cause big problems. large-scale infectious disease.
"Near each apartment, there are garbage pools and public toilets, and the territory will also recruit workers to clean them regularly." Simon replied with a serious face.
The crown prince nodded, waved and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Looking at the garbage pool and the public toilet, the crown prince couldn't help nodding. Although the two places were slightly dirty after use, they were already quite clean in his opinion. Other lords managed the territory and didn't care about these things at all. The garbage and The feces are dumped casually.
In the southern border with few people and a lot of land, the situation is not bad, but in some towns in the northern border, you might step on **** with just one step.
After seeing the public houses, the crown prince took Simon to continue wandering around for a while, then stopped and wondered: "Let's not talk about blacksmith shops and shops, tailor shops, bakeries, mills, why are there no such infrastructure?"
Simon was ashamed, and replied with a lack of confidence: "Isn't this a town just built? There will be one in the future."
The crown prince understood, he took it for granted, this town has just been built, and it would be nice to be able to provide housing for all the people, of course there is no such facility.
Looking at the sewers and drainage ditches, the Crown Prince was amazed by the reasonable planning of the town. The group walked out of the town and came to the nearby farmland.
"Hey, have you all planted crops?" Looking at the seedlings in the fields, the Crown Prince was surprised.
Cultivating farmland is hard work and requires a lot of labor. The new law has just established cities and towns, and it hasn't been long since the people gathered.
According to the crown prince's deduction, Simon should be leading the people at this point in time to reclaim the farmland in a hurry. How could it be like this? Not only have all the people's farmland been reclaimed, but even the crops have been planted for a while.
Simon was ashamed again. He didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't tell this prospective father-in-law that he used a legendary strong man and tens of thousands of barbarians to reclaim these farmlands in a short period of time!
In that case, he would either be regarded as a lunatic or a fool, not to mention how human beings could enslave tens of thousands of barbarians, but just talk about using legendary strongmen to reclaim farmland.
What is a legendary powerhouse? That represents peerless combat power, extraordinary and holy, and they are all respected existences wherever they go. Let them farm the land? Humph, the Arabian Nights are not enough to describe this idea!
Seeing that Simon hesitated and couldn't speak, the crown prince glanced at him, knowing that it was probably a secret, so he didn't make things difficult for the son-in-law, and continued to inspect the farmland without saying anything.
On both sides of the road, the farmland was in order, one after another, with no end in sight at a glance. The crown prince nodded in approval and asked, "How many acres of farmland have you opened up, and what crops are you planting?"
Simon recovered from his embarrassment and said seriously: "150,000 mu of farmland has been temporarily opened up, and it will continue to be cultivated when the number of people increases later. The crops planted are mainly wheat and soybeans, as well as cotton and flax."
The crown prince nodded knowingly. He also understood the situation in the southern border along the way. The main crop is wheat, and the side crops are soybeans and melons. Therefore, he has no doubts about Simon's choice. After all, the environment is here.
As for cotton and flax, these are the materials for making clothes, and there are more or less planted in all parts of the kingdom, and there is nothing to ask.
It would be better to say that this time, Simon's behavior was quite law-abiding, which made the crown prince really puzzled. In his impression, this kid almost didn't act according to common sense. How did he become so disciplined in farming?
If Simon knew what the prospective father-in-law was thinking, he would definitely cry out for injustice.
He also wanted to play his cards against common sense, but rice, sweet potatoes, corn, these high-yield crops, tobacco, tea, spices, these luxury crops, these luxury crops are basically not available in the southern border, so what can he do!
Cultivating the farmland is a matter of life and death for the people. If a few blind commands lead to a famine, then he must cry to death?
If you want to use a knife on this kind of thing, there is no rush! You have to take it step by step.
In the next few days, Simon took the crown prince to inspect the three lines of defense and the soldiers of the new army stationed.
The continuous city walls amazed the crown prince, and he felt that this rapid construction technology was more precious, while the neatly lined up, solemn and solemn soldiers of the new army made his heart sink.
Crown Prince Yona has always known about the concerns of the royal family and grandfather, but because of Irina, he has never wanted to think about them, but now these soldiers with firm faces still inevitably make him think.
In the future, the new law may become a serious threat to the royal family!
The crown prince, who was in a complicated mood, hurriedly ended this inspection. Simon held a banquet to see him off. The venue was in the compound of the new army headquarters. There were not many people attending the banquet. Only the crown prince, Simon, Deborah, Harris, and the guards Several knights of the crown prince.
"I want to see Lord Simon, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Halfway through the banquet, a roar came from the gate of the compound, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.
The crown prince looked at Simon with a slight smile. Harris and Deborah were all sullen. The knights brought by the crown prince looked like they were watching the show.
Interrupting during a banquet is a blatant slap in the face. No matter who the other party is, it will completely offend the master Simon.
"Tell him to come in!" Simon said sullenly. Knowing that the crown prince is here, he must have come prepared. He wants to see what tricks the other party has.
Several soldiers from the new army went to greet them, and it didn't take long before they brought a few people. The coat of arms on their chests made Simon quite familiar. It was the families that came to support him some time ago.
"Master Simon, you have to give us an explanation!" The first emissary said preemptively when he saw Simon who was sitting next to him.
"Oh?" Simon put down his wine glass, squinted his eyes at these people, and said, "I don't remember, what did I do wrong!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Upon hearing this, the envoys knelt down in front of the Crown Prince, and cried out, "Master Simon is tyrannical and oppresses our small families. You must decide for us!"
A smile appeared in the crown prince's eyes, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is as clear as Ming Jing in his heart, but he still pretended to cooperate and said: "Oh, how Sir Simon bullied your family, let's hear it."
Simon closed his eyes and sat on the seat with a blank expression. He didn't respond to this, so the envoys of the other families felt a little nervous, why did they feel different from what they thought?
"Xi, Master Simon came to open up the territory, and the adults behind us all supported it. Last time the barbarians attacked aggressively, it was our family's support that kept Sir Simon's territory from being breached, but..."
The leading emissary paused and said: "After repelling the barbarian attack, Lord Simon turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He not only invaded the territory of our lord, but also plundered a large number of people from our territory, which caused great harm to our lord. It’s a big loss, we’re here to seek justice!”
A sneer flashed in the crown prince's heart, invaded the territory? Loot the people? ridiculous!
There are forty towns in the area occupied by the new law. Even if the uncultivable northern mountain land is excluded, there are still twenty-five towns, which is more than the sum of the lords in the middle of the entire Gelug Mountain Range. What land will Simon take a fancy to them?
Let's talk about plundering the people. The people refer to the civilians who have freedom, that is, the free people. Unlike the tenant farmers who have no personal freedom, these people have the right to come and go freely. They voluntarily relocated to live in the new law, so where did they come from? Looting?
"Master Simon, are they telling the truth?" The Crown Prince shook his wine glass and teased, he wanted to see how this kid would deal with the attacks of the nearby lords.
Simon opened his eyes, looked at the envoys with a smile, and asked in surprise: "Invasion of the occupied territory? Looting of the people? I don't know these things. I dare to ask you, can you be more careful?"
