In this one aspect, there are actually not many real peaks, most of them are hills, with continuous forests and wastelands, with the sun shining brightly without a fog.
The carriage was moving forward, and the sound of horse hooves behind it had been connected.
In the distance, a small town appeared in front of you. This is the seventh town I saw. Although each town has its own style, it has one thing in common, that is, brand new and busy.
Everyone was in a hurry and busy on the ground, and they couldn't see the idle people chatting and passing the time.
"Have you arrived in Fries?" Fang Xin asked.
"Duke, yes, I've arrived at Fris to take it independently." The attendant in front of the carriage immediately replied respectfully.
"Yeah, I understand." Fang Xin looked around. The near the town was no longer a wilderness, but a field, with fields of wheat, swinging with the wind in the sun, and many farmers were farming.
When we arrived in the town, there was a road for repair, and the carriage became much lighter. Everyone who saw them saw the badges on the carriage and bowed.
After about ten minutes, the carriage stopped in the center of the town.
Fang Xin walked off the carriage and found that there were pebbles on the ground, and all kinds of trees, flowers and plants were planted around him. It was obvious that some were even newly planted, but they also grew lushly. If it were a few years later, it would definitely be very beautiful!
There is a wall in the center, but the wall is not high, only about one meter, with countless gaps on it, and you can see the scene inside.
The most attractive thing is the large white dome in the center.
This is the temple of the goddess Houtu.
There were already guards in there rushing over and half-kneeled and said, "Duke, welcome your arrival, but the bishop and the pastor are praying!"
"It doesn't matter, go in first!" Fang Xin said uneasy, and then walked in to watch.
The temple itself is not big, but the ground is made of black marble, and the corridor columns are also carved from jade. In the smallness, they show beauty and grandeur. When I got closer, I saw that the first one of the pillars had been carved with a statue of Houtu and himself. This was a compliment to the goddess and the messenger.
Fang Xin laughed silently and waited outside the door without disturbing the prayers in the temple. Bishop Barnier was leading a group of trainee pastors to pray, and a goddess stood in the center of the temple, with a beautiful appearance. At this time, the statue of the god emitted a white light, covering the entire temple.
After winning last year, Fang Xin sent someone to draw a map, count the population, and restore the Earl Castle, which is now called "Blue Castle". Although it is an Earl Castle, it is large in scale and is more than enough to be regarded as the capital of the Grand Duke.
Three months later, the result came out. The area of ​​this one-sided area was about 10,000 square kilometers. The edge of the one-sided area was the void. Fang Xin was therefore appointed as a nobleman and divided the territory.
It is completely divided into eight counties and two independent lords. The office has two private lords. The nobles and the knights have two and a half lords. One is the independent lord, the religious lord, that is, the Fris lord, and the other is the commercial lord. The city of Par, the area of ​​these two independent lords is about 500 square kilometers.
There are three and a half counties, which are public leaders and are jointly managed by the Grand Duke, the Temple and the Nobles. However, in fact, there is still an unmanned land. After all, the population is counted, and there are only 72,000 people, and no one can arrange to go there to cultivate them.
After Bishop Barnier was granted his title, he went to Fris to lead him. He followed him with one thousand two hundred people. It is said that the first thing he did was to build a temple and also received help from the nobles. It took him a month and a half. When it was built, the statue of the gods shone and showed miracles.
At this time, Bishop Barnier had finished praying with everyone, and several little girls from the choir had already retreated, but this sacred atmosphere still enveloped the entire temple.
Fang Xin had to sigh that Bishop Banier created a complete set of religious rituals based on the Houtu Rebirth Sutra and gained recognition. This is its achievement. Although it is marked by Western civilization, it is no longer amazing.
"Welcome to you, the great God-loving man, the ruler of the earth!" Bishop Barnier then came out and bowed to Fang Xin. Behind, several pastors in white clothes also bowed and bowed.
"Biden Barnier, you don't have to be too polite. Depending on the situation, you've done a good job."
"This is your achievement, why don't we go upstairs to talk?"
"No need, let's go, I want to say something to you!" Fang Xin said with a smile: "Are these pastors?"
"Practitioner, they are not qualified to serve as the priesthood of shepherding all living beings," said Bishop Barnier, wearing a white robe and a circle of holy emblems, and it looked noble and elegant.
"I just went out for a walk, and the territory across the country is being reclaimed and cultivated, and the situation is still good!" Fang Xin turned around, left the temple, and walked on the road. Although the road had been repaired, it was sparsely populated. Listening to the cries of cattle and sheep in the fields far away, and listening to the shouting of shouting in the fields far away, Fang Xin felt a sense of joy and regret: "The population is too small, and there are very few cattle and sheep!"
Since it is newly built, the houses are made of wood and arranged neatly, so that the streets appear very wide. However, due to the few people, although walking on the street, it seems to have entered the forest.
"Da Duke, the country has been established and the order has been stable. It will not take much time to reproduce and flourish, and you will improve farming." Bishop Barnier said calmly, as if it was not what caused such a situation in the past three hundred years.
Fang Xinmoran, in fact, what he has established now is a relatively powerful royal power.
The Grand Duke has been regarded as "a person who ruled the kingdom with God's grace". Although he implemented feudalism, there were two counties in the public territory, with 22% of the territory in the country, which was more than 17% of the British kings with the most powerful royal power in Europe in history, not to mention the management of public territories, and also has direct control over nobles at all levels.
This system should be quite stable and powerful, and can meet the needs of one-sided peace for hundreds of years. As for the future, it will be this one-sided business.
Of course, Fang Xin’s most proud thing is to improve farming.
Here, neither the farmer's small farmer's business nor the large real estate business of the manor can improve the low labor productivity. Because the two-field system is implemented, the cultivated land is divided into two pieces, one piece of farming and the other piece of fallow, and it is carried out in turns every year.
Due to the long-term war and the scarcity of iron tools, many places do not have plowing plows. They only pass through the fields by traversing branches and other things. Calculated by the harvest obtained by sowing a seed, the harvest rate does not exceed 3 times. How low is this!
Of course Fang Xin is not good at agriculture, but he has also read about relevant things. Now, he announces the implementation of the three-field system and the implementation of heavy plowing and animal farming.
The so-called three-field system means that the land is divided into three parts, one sows winter crops such as winter wheat, part sows spring crops such as oats, barley or various beans, and one fallow, instead of cattle, and horses are used to plow the land.
Don’t underestimate this simple reform. This can increase production by 50% in just one item, because it prepares different food resources for people to grow different crops, while oat cultivation provides more feed for horses and makes it possible to use horses widely. As for bean cultivation, it enhances the fertility of the land and also improves the production of the land.
