King’s Kingdom

"Deprivation, numbness, hunger, famine..."

"People who have fallen into darkness!"

"You are helpless!"

"Exploitation, oppression, the evil species who do all evil and oppress the good..."

"Pain and sorrow, the gods also have pity!"

"Oh, the red dragon flag comes with the wind in the cold night!

"Oh, powerful soldiers with spears and swords and shields..."

"The warriors of the gods come, and the evil disappears..."

"King Theodosius! King Theodosius! Great Holy King!"

"You are the holy light of the gods, the agent of the gods!"

"There has never been a benevolent squire..."

"It doesn't depend on sympathy either..."

"To create the happiness of the people, it all depends on the King of Lanyin!"

"Great King! Holy King! Savior in suffering, you are like a light in the darkness, illuminating people's hearts!"

"Great King! Holy King!"

"Your father, grandfather, lineage, the blood of the sage king has been passed down from generation to generation!"

"May the gods, bless you until tomorrow! May the gods, protect the royal family forever, may the gods, promise that your rule will not decline, and the crown will last forever!"

April 22, 667 in the Hirkati calendar.

The land reform in the twelve counties has been completely completed, and the 1.5 million people are full of respect and love for Theodosius, while maintaining a certain degree of fear. They begin to believe that there are people in this world who are willing to think for the sake of ordinary people. The king, not the drunken brag of the bards.

Because Theodosius' reform was very successful, the squires and nobles were cleaned up very cleanly, so he also had an absolute advantage in public opinion.

In the countryside, the villagers almost worshipped such liberators and kings who distributed the land. Anyone who dared to speak ill of Theodosius would be treated like the gods.

In cities and towns, merchants and handicraftsmen also had a good impression of Theodosius, and the freeing of land and the release of tenant farmers lowered the prices of raw materials and food a lot.

Coupled with the fact that Sir Leiningen is unknown, and he has all the love of some monopoly alliances and gangsters, Theodosius' reputation at the moment does not say that the Holy King is alive, at least he is a wise and wise man.

Therefore, the bards living in the twelve counties often sing praises to this wise king. First, he made his life better, and second, the atmosphere of the whole country is like this. Only those who praise the king Works can make your work popular.

The market dictates the product, so one of the most important propaganda groups, the bards, began to sing praises to Theodosius.

Among them, the most famous and most widely circulated is this poem called "God Save Our King Theodosius", which describes the king as a holy king who rescued the people from water and fire. It's a tribute to him, and it's true.

Well, Theodosius has to admit that this unknown author is actually himself, and there are too many plagiarized formats and melodies, and even contains lyrics that make him very angry.

But I have to say that the ones that can be plagiarized by him are the best of the best, otherwise it will not be adopted by him. The easy-to-understand lyrics and catchy melody make this poem a hit in the Lanyin Kingdom. Even ordinary farmers can hum a few words at will.

After more than three months, the situation in the twelve counties has been basically controlled by Theodosius, and villages with a population of more than 1,000 are managed by an official. After such a framework is set up, there is basically no rebellion. Or the risk of splitting, the next plan can continue to be implemented.

When Sir Leiningen returned to Rine, he lost almost three kilograms, and the wrinkles on his face became heavier due to the lack of collagen, making him look haggard.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear Sir Leiningen, I really don't know how to reward you for your great deeds. You have done so much for this country!"

Theodosius grabbed Sir Leiningen's hand and said emotionally. Although it was a bit exaggerated, he really respected Sir Leiningen very much in his heart, and at the same time agreed with his position in the palace minister. Outstanding performance.

If it weren't for his excellent work ability, the land reform could not have ended so quickly, and Theodosius could not have been as relaxed as it is now. This kind of life of two hours of work and a whole day of enjoyment would definitely be far away.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty, you are overrated!" In the two people's study, Sir Leiningen smiled wryly: "Old minister never feels hard to serve the Orteban family, your grandfather promoted me at the end of the week. , let me enjoy a lifetime of glory, all I do is just my share!"

The more he said this, the more satisfied Theodosius was. After he became king, he also hated the kind of courtiers who were proud of their merits. This kind of humble and polite people would be more favored by him.

"Don't say that, I must reward you for your merits and hard work!" Theodosius pondered for a while and said, "Your eldest son is still serving in the Central Military Region. He is a very qualified regimental commander, I think He's already worthy of a higher position!"

"Well, I plan to set up two military districts in the twelve counties, and I plan to let your eldest son Tartarua to serve as the general of the military district..."

"Tomorrow, just tomorrow, in front of everyone, I will make you an earl!" Theodosius looked at Sir Leiningen with bright eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is too graceful. The old minister is just a commoner with no blood at all. How can He De have such a noble title?"

Although Sir Leiningen has excellent abilities and outstanding achievements, the shackles of class and blood still exist in his heart, and people who are not from aristocratic families usually can only get a non-hereditary title of Sir.

"No, you deserve it, please stop talking, I have made up my mind!" Theodosius waved his hand and sent the little old man away.

He was still quite busy today, because he was going to leave in the afternoon to check the situation between the Iron Paladins and the Varangian Guard.

It is worth mentioning that his current reputation has risen to 2,110 points after clearing the bad gentry and distributing the fields, which is enough for him to upgrade the Iron Paladins twice.

At the same time, the wealth obtained from the treasury of the rebels reached 2,000. The second indemnity from the Northern Empire was also delivered half a month ago, and another 40,000 Sunshine Gold Coins were recorded. force on the agenda.

After spending 1,200 reputation points, Theodosius increased the number of Iron Paladins from thirty to forty-five.

Another 6,000 Sunshine Gold Coins were spent to unlock the system quotas for two heavy infantry. Although the Varangian warriors were powerful, Theodosius still hoped to increase their combat effectiveness and become a more powerful ace troop.

In the system, the combat gains of heavy infantry regiments are as follows:

Morale +20%

Defense Ability +10%

Plain terrain combat ability +10%

Morale strike against unarmored units +5%

Jungle Terrain Combat Ability -10%

Personal combat ability +5
