Chapter 316: Burning Land Confused

Rand actually knew Bishop Kahn's interests and hobbies.

But using this kind of temptation and inducement at this time always feels irresponsible to one's own territory.

He could certainly arrange some personal benefits for Bishop Kahn.

Now both the south and the north are in chaos, which makes it much easier for slave traders to abduct people.

Rand did not completely ban these gray industries within its territory.

In this day and age, many things are legal.

Rand would rather his subjects create wealth with their own hands to support themselves, but there are always exceptions.

But is it possible to say to Bishop Kahn, "If you are willing to take charge of the overall situation of the territory, I will arrange more brothels for you?"

Rand felt that this was a bit absurd.

So Rand just asked: "Then would the Saint be willing to take on this job?"

Bishop Kahn's eye twitched.

He felt that Rand was threatening him.

Although the possibility of the Saint agreeing to Rand's request was not high, Bishop Kahn was not so confident when he thought that the Saint had opened a detective agency in the holiday villa at the foot of the mountain.

If the Saint agreed, it would be blasphemous! Bishop Kahn thought that the Torch Goddess might not care, but Bishop Kahn felt that this would be detrimental to the Saint's reputation.

Although Bishop Kahn thought Rand was normal, he felt that the only evil people in the Mother Goddess Cult from top to bottom were the cows and horses.

But Bishop Kahn is very sure that the god believed in by this Mother Goddess sect is evil, or chaotic? Now Her Excellency the Saint is still the spiritual pillar of the Novice Sect, and she cannot bear the stain.

At present, it seems that cooperating with Rand is the right thing to do. Perhaps because of this decision, the Torch Church can regain some of its former glory.

But if anything goes wrong or goes awry, Bishop Kahn intends to take full responsibility.

Bishop Kahn believed in Rand, but he didn't quite believe in the god he served.

Therefore, before the final achievement was accomplished, Bishop Kahn believed that Karin should not have too many entanglements with the Cult of the Goddess of Fertility.

Bishop Kahn raised his eyebrows, glared at Rand, and said, "You still don't have to bother the Saint Lady. I will help you."

Rand was a little puzzled. He just wanted to ask why it seemed like a threat to Bishop Kahn.

He had originally planned to make some concessions in the cooperation with the Torch Church.

But since Bishop Kahn agreed, he didn't say anything more.

Rand successfully persuaded Bishop Kahn to temporarily serve as the administrator of the Crescent Moon Territory's administrative center.

Bishop Kahn doesn't need to actually work in the administrative center like Ellie or Lisa did when they were administrators.

You just need to come out and make decisions when difficult decisions arise.

As for the specific administrative methods, they will be implemented in accordance with the administrative plan written by Rand.

Rand made detailed plans for developments during the time he was away.

The development plan was discussed and approved by the top management of the den over several days, taking all aspects into consideration.

There will be no mistakes in the short term, and because the plan is very detailed, administrative efficiency will theoretically be improved with detailed indicators.

Rand hoped that during his absence, everything in the Earldom of Moon Phase would be on the right track.

If nothing else, he will come back after the wedding this winter.

By then, the prototype of the shipyard and port will probably be completed.

Maybe there will be a few small boats that can be tested.

Early the next morning, Rand set off for the White Kingdom with his guards.

At this time, Bishop Kahn was getting acquainted with his new colleagues.

The Red Queen is feeding her naughty black cat.

The one-armed knight and the knight with a sulfurous breath who participated in the Second Cooking Conference have passed through the Round Table Alliance involving the Kingdom of Bolun and the Kingdom of Lensa and entered the territory of the Triangle Alliance in the Southern Kingdom.

…

The border of the Burning Land.

Fenris picked up the book again.

Rand transferred Taner back to the Full Moon Territory, and also transferred some of the troops back to the Crescent Moon Territory.

The strength on this side of the Burning Land border has indeed been weakened a little.

But Fenris was very sure that even so, defeating the group of chickens and dogs in the Burning Land would still be an easy task and would not cost much.

But it's not necessary.

Fenris understood and agreed with Rand's strategy. Farming here could not only train troops, but also put pressure on the Burning Lands.

At that time, you won’t even have to pay any price.

The only problem is that Fenris used to be a messenger and is now a general.

He was well versed in aristocratic etiquette, historical and cultural background of countries around the world, and could recite the three required books on war studies by heart.

But he doesn't know how to farm.

Now, the main task of this army stationed on the border of the Burning Land, in addition to training, is farming.

In fact, the term "military farming" was "invented" by Rand.

In this world's wars, nobles recruit knights and levies to fight, and there may also be regular soldiers and mercenaries.

Conscripted soldiers were originally serfs who farmed the land. Conscripting them would more or less delay the farming season. So you think of pulling the army out to farm?

Isn't that insane?

However, the number of standing soldiers in other territories is not as large as that in Rand's Earldom of the Moon.

When Rand was a viscount, almost all of his soldiers were retired, but now that he has become an earl, his territory has expanded too much.

Continuing to take everyone off the job would only hinder production. Now that there are no external enemies, the main purpose of the territory is development.

Therefore, Rand arranged for this army to cultivate land on the border of the Burning Land.

Being able to be self-sufficient in some food can allow the soldiers to get to know each other better, and because they have to deal with possible threats from the Burning Land, the training effect will also be good.

"Winter wheat is planted in late autumn, right?" Fenris knew the answer to this question, but he asked it just to start a conversation.

Tata on the side replied: "Yes, sir."

Fenris nodded, then asked Tata for some details.

After getting Tata's answer, take out a pen and paper and write it down.

Before Taran met Rand, Tata was just a villager with a decent education. He might not be good at military affairs, but he must be very good at farming.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Serai was originally an ordinary villager who would occasionally try to poach the lord's "property".

In military terms, they should learn from Fenris.

But when it comes to matters related to agriculture, Fenris will have to learn from them in return.

Fenris couldn't show too much respect to Rand, but he didn't put on airs towards his subordinates. He learned from them and had no shame in doing so.

"Are there any complaints about letting the warriors cultivate the land?" Fenris asked again.

"No, everyone feels very close to farming," Tata replied.

Fenris raised his eyebrows. He didn't like this kind of official language very much. After hearing what Tata said, he felt a little worried and planned to go and observe it himself.

After all, reclaiming land and farming are not easy jobs. Many recruits may feel psychologically disappointed when they find that they still have to farm after joining the army.

As a messenger, Fenris has some insights into human nature.

Fenris put down the agricultural books sent from the church school and walked out of the military tent.

Then he found that many soldiers were very excited, and this kind of excitement certainly could not be faked.

"Are you excited?" Fenris asked.

A soldier who was born as a villager and educated in the small classroom period of the upper hide began to speak something to Fenris that he could not understand.

But Fenris didn't completely fail to understand.

In short, perhaps due to the influence of some ash floating over from the burning land, the soil around the burning land is quite fertile.

It's the kind of thing where you can just scatter some seeds and be full by the time the harvest comes.

If we use the methods taught in Rand's textbooks to farm, we can get a much higher yield.

As for the issue of having to farm after serving in the army, no one cares about it at the moment.

…

At the same time, the bandits in the Burning Land were losing some of their patience.

Ever since they discovered that Earl Land's army was approaching, they became nervous from top to bottom.

After they formulated their strategy, they actively prepared for war.

The roads in the burning area are blocked and the terrain is complex.

They felt that they could rely on their familiarity with the terrain to show the invaders how powerful they, the warriors from the Burning Land, were.

Therefore, they made careful arrangements and set up an ambush on the only way to enter the heart of the Burning Land.

As long as we can inflict enough damage to Count Lander's army and hurt the enemy, even if they want to surrender, we can get good conditions.

but……

No one came.

After wasting a lot of time, the leaders of the major forces in the Burning Land gathered together again.

"What's going on?" asked the bald leader. He was very angry because he hadn't gained anything from the ambush during this period.

"I've sent people to investigate." said the leader, who was dressed fairly elegantly.

"What's going on?" asked the bald strong leader.

"This is the information my men obtained at the cost of their lives." The leader, who was dressed rather elegantly, glanced at the bald burly man, "You expect to gain it with empty words."

The bald man was already in a bad mood, and when the well-dressed leader said that, he immediately flew into a rage. He slammed the table and stood up: "Who do you think you are?"

"What time is it!" The leaders of the other forces held down the two people who were about to take action.

After the farce, the leaders of these forces, who had not had a good relationship with each other, began to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

"The army of Count Lunar Phase has stopped at the border." The well-dressed leader said, "They seem to be farming on the other side of the border?"

"Ah?" The leaders of these forces were a little puzzled.

It is well known that the yield from crops grown in the Burning Land is extremely poor. Could it be that the situation on the other side of the border is much better?

"So they won't invade us?"

Another leader, who was wearing a mask, said: "In addition to farming, they are also building roads. I guess they want to slowly eat away our land."

After listening to the masked leader, the crowd fell into silence.

Obviously, Count Moon Phase already has such an advantage, why would he still adopt such a "shameless" strategy? (End of this chapter)
