Iron Powder and Spellcasters Chapter 468

Many of the "rebel infighting" envisioned by the "gentlemen" of the new land did not happen.

Shuttle between Tiefeng County Army and Leiqun County Army, not shells and lead, but messengers holding emerald flags.

Richard Mason, who is based in Maplestone City, took the initiative to send beer brewed from freshly harvested barley to the troops stationed in Leiqun County and Bianjiang County.

Colonel Scull symbolically gave the captain a pure white horse in return.

From then on, Richard Mason rode the white horse sent by the colonel every day between the siege camp in the suburbs and the city hall in the city.

As a result, the hearts that hung in the throats of the people of Maplestone gradually let go, and the tense atmosphere in the new reclaimed land also eased.

However, Colonel Skool and Lieutenant Colonel Matthias did not accept the proposal to jointly manage Maplestone City, but solemnly expressed the need to communicate with Colonel Geza before replying.

However, with the absence of officers stationed in the towns of the new reclaimed land and the deterioration of public security, the post-transmission system once established by the new reclaimed land army has long since failed.

Although the armies of all parties have set up small post-transmission systems in their own control areas, once they need to communicate with the outside world, they will immediately degenerate back to the inefficient mode of "one person and three horses running the whole process".

In terms of the distance that can be reached in a single day, this means of communication is not too long.

However, if you want to send a letter to a farther place - such as Mirror Lake County, then the time cost will increase exponentially.

And the reliability will be seriously reduced, and there will even be a situation of "the messenger that departs later, returns first".

More importantly, since Hegu Village split up, letters sent to the Baishan County Army have gone back and forth.

On the grounds of safety, after Colonel Geisa received the letter, he would only send the courier away with a receipt certifying that the letter had been delivered, and never let the courier take the reply along the way.

And the most recent letter from the Baishan County Army reported that they had successfully crossed the Snake Lake and were advancing towards Bazenauer.

Winters closely followed the news in Mirror Lake County, but he did not have the patience to wait for the result of the "communication".

After Bard led a large number of accounting students to Artemis, and Pierre presented the keys to the last seven gates of Vigne County, the Iron Peak Army, which had briefly rested, started again.

The strong cavalry escorted the civilian staff and rushed to all parts of Vigne to check the fields and maps; the loyal and reliable infantry took over the checkpoints and outposts on the main traffic roads in the unit of company.

An Anmin Announcement, signed by the tribunes, was also sent to the whole county, and at least one copy was posted on the notice boards in even the most remote villages.

Among them, the part about taxation has won the favor of all the people of Vigne.

The reason for is simple: the "ruling council" announced that from now on, all taxes and taxes in Vigne County will be levied according to the standard two years ago.

Not only that, the "ruling committee" also allows farmers to wait until the autumn harvest before paying this year's poll tax and field tax.

Knowing that the various special taxes levied and paid after the Battle of the Great Wilderness were all banned at one time, whether farmers, merchants or handicraftsmen in Vigne County, they are all happy and running to tell them.

If it is said, when the people of Vigne County said the term "blood wolf" before, there was only fear and disgust in their hearts.

Now, they will at least add the honorific title of "Your Excellency".

As the army of "Lord Blood Wolf" fully took over the checkpoints and outposts in Vigne County, and searched for bandits in the territory, the traffic within Vigne County began to resume.

The daring merchants drove their carriages over the high wall, trying to grab the first bite before the others.

For ordinary people, going out alone no longer seems to be a terrible thing - at least no longer a suicidal act.

Food harvest, traffic restoration, peace of mind... It seems like the "good" days of the past are back.

It's just that no one knows how long such “good” days can last.
