Civilization spreads to another world

It was another winter, at the northern end of Mijin Kingdom, there was a sea of ​​ice and snowfield, and heavy snow like goose feathers swept down with the whistling wind.

This is the most remote territory of the Mijin Kingdom. It is cold all year round and the land is barren. Few lords are willing to take over, and most of them are under the direct jurisdiction of the king.

But the king doesn't care much about this remote and poor territory. The old king used to be, and so does the young king who is now succeeding.

None of the successive city lords sent by the king to manage the territory liked this place. Most of them hid in warm manors and were unwilling to come out.

The civilians living here are poor and difficult, and the slaves are even more difficult.

Until four years ago, a baron came here.

The baron is called Ward, who was originally an honorary earl. He spent a lot of money to get the king to agree to grant him a territory, and for this he voluntarily reduced himself to a baron.

This incident was passed as a joke among the nobles and even appeared in the newspapers.

But Baron Howard didn't care about it. He also offered to recruit manpower during the reporter's interview. He recruited stewards and craftsmen to go to the territory together. The rewards were high, and other civilians were welcome to migrate. Those who were willing to go would get great discounts.

That's how the Kralls followed.

They were originally free citizens in the capital of the White Pine Principality. The family of six made a living by growing flowers. Flowers are bought even by grand dukes.

If there is no accident, Claire will learn to be a gardener and grow flowers all her life just like her father.

But when the envoy came, there was nothing at first, and they were as amazed at the appearance of the envoy as everyone else.

But as the envoys spread the farming methods of the Kingdom of God, his father's frown became tighter and tighter. After factories appeared in the capital and the methods of cultivating flowers and plants were published in newspapers, Krall understood that the secret methods passed down from generation to generation were no longer available. It's not a secret anymore!

Then soon, they lost their original salary package.

To make matters worse, my father fell into a coma because of depression and drunkenness. In order to cure his father, he almost spent all the savings in the family.

When he was almost living on the streets, doctors from Chang'an Town came to the capital, selected his father, and cured him.

Krall was in a complicated mood. The messenger caused them to lose their livelihood, but the messenger saved his father again.

His father's illness had consumed all the savings of the family, and the squires no longer hired them. At this time, the news of Baron Ward was published in the newspaper. When the baron went to the territory, he would pass through the Duchy of White Pine. The family ventures into a new territory.

The new territory is called Muyun Town. It is said that the poems from the Kingdom of God were obtained by the baron from the envoy.

Now the language of the Kingdom of God has become the mainstream. The nobles are proud of being able to write the characters of the Kingdom of God and compose poems. The common people can't write, but they can speak it. Every time they listen to a newspaper, the reader will speak both languages ​​at once.

Krall has a secret, he can recognize the characters of the Kingdom of God!

He discovered this through the newspaper. He would write down the reader's words verbatim, and then compared them word by word in the newspaper. He had already quietly learned a lot of Shenguo characters, and not only could he know but also write them. !

Muyun Town is not very far from King Baisong, and it takes two days and one night to hike.

Because the Krall family is an active immigrant, the baron gave them a bullock cart, not only them, but every immigrant family has one.

Even though you have to take care of the cattle that pull the cart, it's a lot better than walking!

Keral's family has a lot of luggage and a lot of luggage. In order not to be too tired, they dare not all sit in the car, and they take turns in threes when they are on the road.

Fortunately, the baron didn't seem to be in a hurry, he walked very slowly, especially after leaving the territory of Baisong Kingdom, there was no smooth concrete road, so he couldn't go as fast as he wanted.

When Klar was 14 years old, it was the first time he traveled far. Before that, the farthest place he went was only the mountains and forests near the capital—to find flower seeds with his father.

The bustling and bustling capital was far away. They passed through the village and the wilderness.

Klare turned from anticipation to disappointment.

Muyun Town is not as big as the villages near the capital!

The straw and wood houses were dilapidated, the ground was potholed, and the civilians who came out to greet them were unkempt, sallow and emaciated, and they were not as tall and strong as the northern civilians.

But Krall soon lost the energy to worry about these things. He had to run around for his livelihood. When his family came, they didn’t bring any food, and the food they ate on the way was bought from others in their luggage.

Although the baron gave them a lot of relocation benefits, they need to settle down to realize it, such as no poll tax, reduction of grain tax and commercial tax for the first two years, and so on.

Even the house given to them for free requires them to build it themselves, but if they are willing to build a house, they will be paid for it and include a lunch.

Both Clare and her father and brother signed up. They don't have much strength, they can't cut trees and transport wood, and they don't know how to fish in the frozen lake. They chose to build a house, which requires a certain amount of delicate work.

The mother and the two younger sisters were not idle either. The mother went to the mill to learn how to grind tofu. When the baron came, he brought a lot of soybeans and used them to make food for them. Everyone knew that the new baron was very rich.

The mother grinds tofu, the older sister makes tofu, and the younger sister helps carry the tofu to the cafeteria with other children.

Throughout the spring, the whole town was busy.

In the summer, everyone moved into the new house, and Klar was surprised to find that the town seemed to have more people all of a sudden.

He clearly remembered that there were less than 100 people in the town when he first came here, most of them were slaves, and all the free people left long ago, only slaves, unless the master took them away, they had to live here for generations.

But now, there are a lot of people popping up in hula, and many of them are free people!

In addition to the free people, there are also slaves who come in a steady stream.

In just one year, Muyun Town has nearly 1 people, which is almost the same as the population of a small city!

Then Krall discovered that Muyun Town was being built at an astonishing speed.

Residential area, administrative area, commercial area...the division is well organized.

Town hall, grand square, archway, theater...

It seems like every day you go out, a new building pops up in town.

After the tall city walls are built, Muyun Town will look no different from a real city!

Watching the construction of Muyun Town with his own eyes, Klare was full of admiration for Baron Howard.

Although the baron said in an interview that he was just copying the practice of the envoy to build Chang'an Town, there are very few people like him who have the courage to contribute money to help the people build their territory, otherwise they would not be regarded as typical in the newspapers.

The two envoys even praised the baron themselves!

That issue of the newspaper made Muyun Town famous all of a sudden, and many freedmen moved here afterwards.

I am not afraid of the cold, I have cotton clothes and furs when I go out, and I have a kang fire room at home, and I am not afraid of remoteness. Now there is an endless stream of merchants in the town, there is no shortage of anything, and I am not afraid of the cold. There will be festivals in the town every month. Before the baron came Has applied to the envoy to celebrate the Kingdom of God festival in the territory.

There is also the newspaper theater. Every time there is a major festival, the baron will spend a large sum of gold coins to invite actors from Chang'an Town to perform.

When the news was posted, the whole town cheered and everyone talked about the Baron's kindness.

When he arrived in Muyun Town, he didn't leave unless he made a mistake.

You don’t have to worry about finding a job when you move here. Those who are rich can open shops, and those who have no money can farm land. The baron is willing to lease the land to everyone for a small rent. Those who are willing to immigrate and stay There are preferential policies, and there is no need to pay taxes for the first two years.

The Krall family chose to farm. Most of the migrated civilians chose the land. They could rent the land and farm it themselves. It is impossible to be favored by the lord and be given land to become a squire.

Civilians who can choose to relocate naturally do not have this ability. If they have land, why would they relocate.

Well now, as long as the rent is very small, you can rent a large field, and you can plant whatever you want, even if you don’t plant anything, the lord will not care.

Of course, no one would do that.

However, Muyun Town is always cold, so it is not suitable for growing wheat, rice, or even sweet potatoes. The former cannot survive at all, while the latter can survive, but the yield is very low. The most suitable plant is soybeans.

This kind of soybean is similar to the soybeans of Shiyu and Huo Cishi, but it is larger and darker in color. It has similar functions. It can be eaten directly, or it can be used to squeeze oil to make tofu and so on.

They also named the big soybean.

The conditions for growing soybeans are relatively harsh, and they must be grown in winter, the colder the better, and it must last at least half a year in winter.

Before Shi Yu and Huo Ci came, Baishan Village did not plant them. The seeds were brought by businessmen, but the yield was not high. Even if the new planting method was used, the yield did not increase much. Later, the practice and planting method spread, and it was discovered that big soybeans The closer to the north, the higher the yield.

Like the Principality of White Pine, several barons near Muyun Town have already planted big soybeans, because big soybeans can be used to extract oil, and their value is not low.

That's why the immigrants thought Baron Ward was rich.

The barons near Muyun Town are booming. There is no lord in Muyun Town, so the serfs naturally dare not plant casually. They can only continue to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes as before. They mainly live on hunting and fishing, which is the only one. There is no way to survive, otherwise there may be no one in this territory.

Keral's family grows soybeans, and they only plant a small piece of hard-working vegetables for their own food.

They leased [-] mu of land on credit in the first year. The six members of the family, including the youngest sister, gritted their teeth and worked hard for a whole year. At the end of the year, not only did they pay back the rent, but they still had a lot left over. The whole family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, it got better and better every year, and I am not afraid even if I start paying taxes in two years.

Now four years have passed, the wooden house when the family first came has been replaced by a brick house, each of the four children lives in one room, and there are two large yards in the front and back. Gardeners are faring better.

Krall has been a little bit cautious recently. For the past four years, seeing Muyun Town from nothing to nothing under the leadership of the Baron was very shocking to him. In his heart, Baron Hua De was his idol. The face under the Baron de Baron's mask must be ugly, and he would stare at it angrily.

He saw the word "dream" in the newspaper, and the first thing that popped up in his mind was Baron Ward. He wanted to become someone like the Baron, start from scratch and make a career.

After thinking it over, he didn't want to continue farming, he wanted to do something else, he wanted to join the guard!

He discovered a secret.

When so many people came out of Muyun Town for the first time, Kral quietly observed, and then he found that many of them knew the baron!

Especially the slaves, they didn't buy them, they came here for the baron, they knew they would come here from the very beginning, and they knew that the owner here was Baron Ward, and they mentioned the baron with a familiar tone!

It is impossible for a slave to know that clearly!

Not to mention many slaves.

Kral has been suspicious since then, but he didn't think too much about what the big shots have to do with them.

But as he knew more and more characters, he turned out this doubt again. Now he can read newspapers by himself, and he even bought books from bookstores to read.

The more he watched, the more unwilling he was to be ordinary.

He always felt that the baron had done so many things, and he would not just be willing to be a baron.

If the baron launches a campaign to other territories, then the opportunity will come!

Krall was excited about his guess. He wanted to join the guard and participate in the battle. Just like the story of the envoy said, his dream was to be a general!

At this time, Krall, the future famous general of the Megatron Continent, did not know the true intention of Baron Ward. He not only fought in the territory, but also took the first step of an important turning point in his life by mistake.
