Chapter 225 Leon approves the establishment of the abandoned land production and construction brigade
. Whenever the production and construction brigade returns, everything in Antolia seems to bring a different kind of surprise to Leon.
The wheat in the farmland has already shown some golden color.
During the previous civil war in the kingdom, Leon was unable to experience the harvest of the Antolian people.
And this time, he was lucky enough to catch up.
Looking from a distance, it only takes a few months for the farmland of Antolia to be dyed golden, bringing the joy of a good harvest to the people living on this land.
When the army holding the double-headed eagle flag appeared in people's sight, the surrounding citizens who were originally cultivating the farmland spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road.
Some of them are natives of Antolia, but more are refugees from all over the kingdom.
The refugees Leon brought back during the civil war in the kingdom now recognize their Antorian identity from the bottom of their hearts.
This is identity!
Their clothes are similar to those of the Antolians, and their words and deeds are exactly the same as those of the purest Antolians.
Many people have even begun to actively accept and adapt to the traditions of the Antolian people, and are proud to live on this land.
In many cases, the impact of the environment on people is endless.
In the simple moral values of the lower class people, whoever can make them eat well and who can enable them to live is the leader they admire the most in their hearts.
And there is no doubt that Leon is such a person.
Although he treats his subjects, Leon is not very kind.
But he is not harsh, nor does he blindly exploit. The policy he pursues in his heart has always been to fish from the lake in a sustainable way.
Squeeze, of course, squeeze.
Every nobleman in this era enjoys the life of a nobleman by riding on the necks of his subjects.
But what Leon knew better was that letting farmers live in hunger and cold forever would not necessarily make management easier.
Moreover, the degree of hunger and cold that the subjects could endure was not something that any noble could easily control.
The peasant rebellions that break out every few years in the Andal Kingdom are a lesson from the past.
What's more...
what's the point of squeezing a bunch of paupers?
The richer the citizens of Antolia are, the more benefits the Jimena family will receive.
This will be a positive cycle.
And this is precisely the forward vision he has as a time traveler.
It is precisely because of this that the return of the Antolian army undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into the hearts of the people.
No one is more worried about Leon's safety than they are.
Because not all, or only a handful of lords, can treat the people under their rule as well as Leon.
The people in the territory are ignorant but not stupid. They know very well that as long as Leon lives well and as long as the Jimena family still controls this land, then they can have the life they have today.
That majestic army.
It is not only the confidence of the Jimena family, but also the support for the stable life of the people.
Looking at the prisoners of war being escorted by the Antolian soldiers and the refugees being rushed, many of them even thought of their former selves.
Just a year ago, they came to this strange land in the same hesitation and became the subjects of a nobleman they had never heard of.
And now...
looking at the Antolian army not far away, Millit turned back and looked at his pregnant mother-in-law, feeling that his life was about to start.
He is just a farmer, and he is just a silhouette of the countless refugees who migrated to Antolia to seek life.
As long as there is work to do, as long as there is food to eat.
The demands of the citizens have always been very low. ...
The old city of Thorn Territory, Lord's Castle.
It wasn't until he returned to his familiar study room and returned to his territory that Leon finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fighting and other things can be said to be quite tiring.
Even though Leon, as a lord, would not go into battle personally to fight, he was always nervous.
Leon leaned back on the chair lazily, and the sunlight jumped through the window and sprinkled on the ground. Outside the castle were the personal guards of the Jimena family, which instantly made people feel safe.
Aaron knocked on the door and sat in front of Leon with the help of the waiter.
"There are about 40,000 Walras prisoners of war captured this time, which can just fill the problem of Fort Wilson's insufficient population." Leon said proactively.
"Are all the prisoners of war escorted to the territory Walrasian soldiers?"
Hearing this, Aaron couldn't help but look shocked.
He was not shocked by the strength of the Antolian soldiers, but by the frailty of those people's bodies and the sallow complexions.
"They are all slave soldiers."
Leon explained.
You must know that the soldiers of the Walras Kingdom can be roughly divided into two parts: regular soldiers and slave soldiers. The
most elite ones are naturally the regular soldiers of the Walras Kingdom, that is, the tribal warriors of the Walras Kingdom.
Drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat.
All of them are fat and strong, and are good at fighting. Their stature is not inferior to that of the purest Antorians, and they are the main fighting force of the Walras Kingdom.
As for the slave soldiers who were escorted to Antolia by Leon...
slave soldiers can be said to be a specialty of the Kingdom of Walras, and the reasons why they became slaves are actually different.
Some are foreign prisoners of war captured during the conflict.
For example, at this time, the north bank of the Chiron River was controlled by the Walrasian Kingdom. Then the Norton people living on the north bank of the Chiron River became slaves of the Walrasians. Not only did they have to suffer humiliation from the Walrasians, but also His wealth and life were completely in the hands of the Walrasian nobles.
The other part comes from tribes that lost in the tribal conflict in Walras.
The folk customs of the Kingdom of Walras are strong and fierce.
Nomadism is their most important production activity.
In order to compete for better pastures and more livestock, cattle and sheep, conflicts between tribes have always been common.
In this conflict after conflict, large tribes may be beaten into small tribes.
Small tribes may be directly beaten into slaves.
The Kingdom of Walras has always had an endless supply of slaves.
The main reason why Leon brought back all slave soldiers is that compared to the group of fierce and brave Walrasian soldiers, no slave has experienced countless hardships.
As long as the Jimena family can give them a bite to eat, it will undoubtedly be much easier to manage than other Walrasian prisoners of war.
"You and Andrew are responsible for the reorganization of those prisoners of war."
"Set up an abandoned land production and construction brigade at Fort Wilson, implement military management, and engage in propaganda. I estimate that it won't be long before these people can become Antolia A member of the human race even has more hatred for the Walras people than we do."
Leon said with great conviction.
