Chapter 218 The Princess Longing for the Garden

Richard was a little confused when the arrangements were suddenly made clear, but he reacted quickly, organized the manuscript as quickly as possible, took a step forward, and loudly read out the words he had come up with on the spur of the moment.

(I have been editing the content for a long time, but I still can’t find that feeling, so please allow me to omit it here. However, what you can know is that the content of Richard’s speech is mainly to stabilize people’s hearts and promise to lead the country to become stronger and become Wada. The top regional powers on the West Asian Peninsula)
After the ceremony, Richard and Queen Mary returned to Ippolito Palace, and his First Legion also entered the city barracks in an orderly manner with the assistance of Magnus.

Returning to the magnificent Ippolito Palace, Richard was very moved. He first arranged for the Lasik princess Revni who had been brought back to live in his bedroom, and then entered the main hall to discuss with several cabinet members. development plan.It is worth mentioning that after Richard returned, Queen Mary, the temporary regent, lost her role and retreated into the deep palace with peace of mind.

Facing the four cabinet members, Richard expressed his ideas and ideas during the march. He planned to arrange for the soldiers of the First Legion to marry the local residents of Nord City. Due to the previous war, the males of Nord City Most of the residents followed the Jutian expedition and died in foreign countries. The captured soldiers were also thrown into the mines on Kuban Island or sold by slave traders.Therefore, the number of marriageable women in Nord City has increased unprecedentedly, which is very suitable for marriage.

In order to persuade the four cabinet members, Richard also explained the benefits of marriage: First, after the German soldiers in the army have a family, they will have a more sense of integration into the country, and their offspring will have The influence of his father's generation will also become a loyal supporter of Richard and his future rulers.Second, after the marriage, the German who is the head of the family will also influence and assimilate his family and convert his wife to Christianity. Residents who believe in Christianity will be restricted by the system, and their loyalty to Richard will be greatly improved— ——Of course, Richard didn't say anything about the system, but changing to a belief in God will make them more identified with the lord of the same belief.

Naturally, the four-member cabinet has no objection to the proposal of marriage. In fact, they also have a headache for the arrangement of the soldiers of the First Legion and the Second Legion. It is not an option for them to stay in the barracks, not only wasting a lot of labor, but also wasting a lot of food.

Marriage with the locals is undoubtedly the best way. They can return home to accompany their families during their vacations, and they can also help their families with farming and harvesting during busy farming seasons, instead of going to brothels or taverns in the city when they are on vacation. ——It’s fine to run away, at least it can stimulate consumption, but it’s easy to cause trouble when you’re drunk and affect public order.

Seeing that the four had no objections, Richard signaled to the clerk on the side to record the matter and make specific arrangements later.Then he mentioned the necessity of building a church in the city.

I forgot to mention that after becoming king, the systematic city construction was cancelled. The previous model was not conducive to the territorial rule of a kingdom at all, and after the count was divided, Richard had no way to manually control the count. country's cities.Therefore, the construction of the city was cancelled—probably also to increase the difficulty. After all, becoming the king of a country is equivalent to passing the novice protection period.

Therefore, it takes more money and time to build a building. According to reality, it will never happen again that a building is completed in only half a month.

Regarding the construction of the church, everyone here is a devout Christian (of course, Richard is an exception, he does not believe in any gods), so naturally there will be no objections, so the proposal was directly passed, and the cardinal also served as the court official. Pastor Peter Scanrell was very active and volunteered to take charge of this matter.

According to what he said, he would build a magnificent church in Nord City as God's official residence in this world.

In addition, there is one most important thing, which is the determination of the status of the capital.Before the restoration of the country, Nuremberg on Kuban Island was naturally the unquestioned capital. Even after Brandenburg on King's Hill was established, the status of the capital remained unchanged.But after the restoration of the country, as the king of the Kingdom of Winster, the capital was naturally set in the traditional city of Nord, not only to appease the people of the kingdom.

Although in Richard's mood, he really wanted to keep the capital in Nuremberg, but this was obviously unrealistic. Before merging with the Kingdom of Ravana, Cuban Island, where Nuremberg was located, was isolated overseas and was directly an enclave. It is very inappropriate to place the capital there.

Therefore, we can only set the capital in Nord City, which is the only suitable place.

Next, Richard and the four of them discussed some other matters, and the meeting was adjourned. Before the adjournment, he asked several people to give a plan on how to arrange the marriage between the First Legion and the locals, and submit it at the next meeting. .

……

After returning to the palace, Princess Rasik Reifni still stood in front of the window (why should I use the window?), looking out from the window. Outside the window was the garden facing the Ippolito Palace. In Richard's eyes, this She is very ordinary inside, but her appearance is very strange?
Just as she was looking fascinated, she heard the sound of footsteps, so Raifni quickly turned her head to look at the visitor. When she saw it was Richard, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look out at the garden.

"What are you looking at?" Richard asked as he came over and took off his coat.

"The garden, and the birds." Ravenie answered briefly.

"Huh?" Richard's movements stagnated, but he recovered immediately. He hung the robe on the rack, walked behind Revney, put his hands around her slender waist, and said doubtfully: "This Isn’t it a very common thing? Is there anything interesting about it?”

"It's very common for you guys." Revani struggled slightly, but she didn't break away from Richard's hands, and could only let him hug her, "But in the city of Rostas (the Principality of Lasik) In the Rodenlins Palace in the capital, gardens and birds are the least likely to be seen. Once a bird appears around the Rodenlins Palace, my father’s court hunters will shoot it and show off their archery skills.”

"..." Richard had nothing to say for a while, and then Lephne pointed to the garden outside the window and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go there, do you agree?"

"Why not?" Richard said, perhaps seeing Revni's restraint, he added: "As long as you don't leave the Hippolito Palace, you can go anywhere, but only if your side must There are at least two maids."

"understand!"

Ravenie looked very excited when her request was agreed, with a smile on her beautiful face and expectation in her beautiful jewel-like eyes. Looking at her smile, Richard felt warm in his heart and hugged her hands around her waist. I couldn't help but hug him tighter.
