If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

This year, Origin City welcomed a light snow in October and two heavy snows in early and late November.

Even so, Origin City maintained a fairly fast development speed.

When it snowed lightly in October, everyone's work did not stop because of the snow.

They worked non-stop to cut trees, plow land, build houses, pave roads, repair water conservancy projects, transform pastures, and sow grass seeds for next year.

But when it snowed heavily in November, it was no longer possible.

Development encountered obstacles.

For example, the slaves who were sent out to reclaim land and had thin clothes had to be taken back to prevent them from freezing in the snow.

For another example, the transportation of materials became very difficult when the heavy snow blocked the road.

Although winter supplies had been stored long ago, it was still necessary to ensure quick communication.

Roman had to arrange people to sweep the snow to ensure the smooth flow of roads.

...

December.

The snow-covered ground showed no signs of melting.

Roman gathered the residents of Origin City who received winter clothes last year to reclaim land.

Those slaves who were wearing only single clothes stayed in the brick house, warming themselves around the iron stove.

Because they were worried that the labor force would freeze to death, Roman increased their honeycomb coal supply to eight, otherwise it would not be enough to burn.

As for the residents of the Origin City who reclaimed the wasteland?

Who told you to have clothes to wear? You can work if you have clothes to wear.

They couldn't resent it, so should they resent that their living standards were too high?

Moreover, the officials of the Ministry of Residents and the Ministry of Agriculture repeatedly publicized that their labor this year determined their treatment next year.

If the harvest next year is good, the rationing system will be cancelled.

If the harvest next year is not good, the rationing system will continue.

As it is a matter of food, the residents who can get brick houses are generally not lazy and can only work hard in the snow.

There is a saying in agricultural technology called winter plowing.

Winter plowing has many benefits, which can speed up the maturation of the soil.

The wasteland reclaimed in winter is often easy to grow.

Although the snowfall is huge, this is not a snowstorm.

The cold current from the northern land cannot reach here, and the temperature in the basin is still within an acceptable range.

In this case, the thicker the snow layer, the better the harvest next year.

Gweil would also take Roman, who was fine, to the wheat field to bless it.

The dormant period of winter wheat is extremely long, 2.2 times longer than that of spring wheat - spring wheat can be harvested in 100 days, but winter wheat needs 220 days. The long dormant period is to accumulate nutrients for the next year - just like the current Origin City.

The blockade of the Crusade Army remains, just like the snow layer, which cannot freeze the wheat seedlings under the heavy snow.

...

At this time, a fleet broke through the blockade of the Crusade Army and came to the Origin City.

The visitor was Sir Damon, the Minister of Finance of the Dark Iron King.

Roman met him in the conference hall.

"My Lord, we meet again." Damon smiled.

His cloak was more gorgeous than Roman's, colorful like a peacock. He wore a top-quality red agate on his chest, and the power of the gem maintained his body temperature even in the dead of winter.

Roman also had agate, but he never wore it.

He thought it would wear down his will.

Roman sneered, "I thought the king had abandoned this place a long time ago."

"You have made such a big mess, and it is difficult for our king to deal with it..." Damon said, "My Lord, you should know why I am here."

Roman snapped his fingers, and five knights came in carrying a wooden box.

Damon opened the wooden box, and the golden and seductive light shone into his pupils.

"You are a trustworthy person!" Damon said.

This is a full 1,000 kilograms of gold.

Roman said, "Lord Damon, if I take out more gold, will His Majesty the King send troops for me?"

Send troops? To whom?

Damon told Roman: "Isn't the Holy See's Crusade Army coming for witches? What does it have to do with you?"

Throughout the ages - at least until now, humans have not had too complicated political struggles.

Roman defeated the Church and Gael in the Battle of Spring Rain.

The King of Dark Iron crowned him with a series of titles such as the Guardian of the Valley, Lord, and Hand of War.

In this game of power, the opposition between the owner of the Dark Iron Throne and the Grand Duke of Dragon Castle is obvious.

"My Lord, the situation is tense enough now. You may not know it because the mountains are high and the roads are long here, but His Majesty the King and Lord Payne have quarreled many times in Black Castle about this matter, but no one convinced the other, and we are all scared."

If the Lord of Dark Iron and the most powerful duke fight, who would not be afraid?

Roman asked: "What are you quarreling about?"

Damon looked at the instigator, and his expression on his face was like seeing a ghost: "Do you know how much trouble your act of sheltering witches has brought us?"

"Oh?" Roman looked forward to it.

"No... Lord, do you really have no spies in Black Castle? That's the capital of the Conquerors."

Roman said calmly: "I rarely pay attention to the development of the situation on earth."

Ouch! What a sin! Daemon stroked his cat's eye ring.

The young king wore amber, the wisdom gem that could cover his thoughts.

He didn't know whether what the young man said was true or not, so he just took it as true.

Such a person, such an armed separatist force, affected the situation of the entire Black Iron Land, but he didn't care about others...

What do you say about him? There is no way at all.

When he came, he saw with his own eyes that 20,000 Crusades were blocking the door, but in the end, didn't he do anything about him?

Let alone 20,000, even if 40,000 came, it would be useless.

Alas, Ulster, you did a good job.

Damon sighed, "Lord Gale let the Church do whatever it wants in our land, and His Majesty the King is very dissatisfied. Now, you have directly given the Church an excuse to send troops, and our king can't stop it even if he wants to."

"Can't the Grand Duke of Fury stop it?"

The Finance Minister looked at Roman for a long time and said, "Lord Payne is a supporter - he is a supporter of the Church. Not many people know this news, otherwise it would scare people to death. The Church was going to send more holy war troops, but His Majesty the King was furious and swore that if Payne really dared to let so many people leave the country, he would take back the inheritance of the Fury family, so they are still arguing now."

That is not the Sinnoh Army, but the Church Army.

The Sinnoh Army fought to the death with the Cang Yue people in Cang Yue, and the power of the Church has only exposed the tip of the iceberg so far.

This news is really scary, and Roman had guessed it long ago.

Power struggles have always been like this. They are not hidden arrows behind the curtain, but swords and guns on the stage.

Roman's mind emerged with the development of the relationship between the King of Black Iron and the Dukes of Black Iron.

Ulster and the King of Black Iron are in the same camp. Pine blocked Sinnoh and the Church without objection. He had opinions but he had to hold them in.

Then, the Guardian family was destroyed, and Ulster died after losing his guardian.

Gale, who inherited the throne, and Pine are in the same camp, so the situation was reversed all of a sudden, and it felt like being generaled by a double chariot.

The scary thing is that this double chariot was originally a double chariot in his own camp.

The King of Black Iron was clamped, facing the Church, Sinnoh, Split Armor, and the four forces of the Wrath. He couldn't suppress it, he couldn't suppress it at all.

"Why did the Wrath Family do this?" Roman crossed his hands and placed them on his abdomen.

"His Majesty the Conqueror believes that the Church is the enemy of mankind. Lord Ulster, His Majesty the King, and a group of ministers including me also think so, so the Fury Tide has blocked Sinnoh for a hundred years. Until now, Lord Payne doesn't think so. He thinks that the Church is a helper and wants to release them...

"But, Lord Lord, the Church now has far more influence than before. The Fury Tide has been confronting them for a hundred years. We don't know what happened during this period, but they should have been a big enemy. Now I won't be surprised if Lord Payne says "Gods above". He is the most powerful duke in the Black Iron Land and the front line against the Church."
