The moon of recovery is coming.

The long and cold winter days in the north of the mainland finally left the land reluctantly. Although its residual power is still daunting, the warming temperature and the sunny and warm days of several consecutive days still make people feel full of hope in their hearts, at least in Cecil. The word "hope" is no longer an elegant word for the upper class to express their feelings after dinner, but a real thing that ordinary people can also expect.

A baby was born on this day when the earth had just rejuvenated.

In the "West District Factory Apartment" that was just completed this winter, a young and new father was a little busy to entertain neighbors and friends who came to visit. The small living room was filled with guests carrying gifts. Although only some light tea and coarse snacks could be used to entertain, the guests obviously didn't care about this. I'm afraid few people could think that these people were a group of homeless and unfamiliar wilderness refugees just a few months ago.

They wandered in the wilderness, settled in Cecil's home, met in buffer camps, met in the building, and eventually became friends in the factory, and for those who had experienced that homeless wandering days, one of them became fathers in a warm home, which was of great significance.

And at this moment, someone among the people standing at the door suddenly shouted: "The Lord is here!"

People were shocked, but the lord really came and the tall figure appeared at the door soon, and people all felt familiar with the figure.

Gao Wen soon saw the young new father's appearance in the crowd immersed in joy, which was beyond his reach. He quickly walked forward and reached out to stop the other party who was afraid to salute: "Today is the day you bring hope to this land, there is no need to salute. Is the mother and son safe?"

"Yes...yes, Lord Lord..." The young man was obviously nervous, but excited by joy. He stuttered and rubbed his hands, "Everything is safe, all peace..."

Gao Wen smiled gently: "Can I see that child?"

"Of course, of course..."

The newborn baby and the young mother were in the quiet and undisturbed inner room. Although there were many visitors, only a few people had visited. Gao Wen should be the most special of the visitors who arrived today.

Due to the popularization of new magic nets, the system that uses magic power to drive heaters and heat the entire building through thermal ducts is now the standard for newly built houses in the territory. This apartment building completed in winter is no exception. Warm and constant temperature houses are the key guarantee for the safety of mother and son. Otherwise, winter production will be a life-and-death difficulty that most civilian mothers must face.

In the warm inner room, Gao Wen saw the baby in the swaddling clothes.

He is a healthy boy, wrinkled and unable to open his eyes. He is sleeping quietly at this moment.

A pharmacist apprentice takes care of postpartum women and babies here. This is not a folk wandering witch or "wandering doctor" who can only fool people, but is one of the apprentices trained by Pittman himself. Although there has not been a real druid in Pittman's apprenticeship, at least in the fields of pharmacy, internal and surgical, which does not require magical talent, these apprentices are professionals.

Looking at the baby in the swaddled clothes, Gao Wen smiled.

This is the first newborn in the territory. The first baby was born here almost a year after the construction of the territory, but it is not surprising.

Because the people on this land were either the eight hundred refugees who survived from the old Cecil, or purchased serfs and slaves, or refugees gathered from the wilderness. Needless to say, slave traders never sold pregnant female slaves, while refugees and refugees experienced the most displaced test, in that test...

It is difficult for any pregnant woman or fetus to survive.

The child in front of him is lucky. If his parents had not found a place to settle down in time, he would have been difficult for him to be born in this world safely.

His parents were both the first refugees to immigrate here. The young father is now working in the rune foundry and the mother is a female worker in the textile factory.

"Does the child have a name?" Gao Wen turned his head and asked the young father who followed him into the house.

"Not yet..." The young father grabbed his hand and looked away from Gao Wen more than once, falling on his child's face. He showed a little straightforward smile. "We originally wanted to give him a name casually, but... But when I went to school, I wanted to ask the teacher in the school to help give the child a name... The names given by educated people can make the child smarter, and I will definitely recognize words faster than me in the future..."

Gao Wen couldn't help laughing, laughing at the innocent and simple thoughts of the young father, but he also felt a little relieved: this person who originally didn't know that it is good to let his children recognize words.

Then he shook his head: "Since that's the case, I'll give you a name, and he'll be Ors."

In the common word of humans in this world, this pronunciation means "hope".

The young father was stunned for a moment before he realized what had happened. He immediately saluted: "Thank you for giving this child the name!"

Then he murmured to himself: "Today... today is such a good day, what a good day..."

"Don't forget to register the resident for this child and get the identity card," Gao Wen smiled and helped the helpless person up. He had abolished the rules of civilians who had to celebrate when they saw nobles, but it was not so easy to ban people's habitual bowing or even kneeling. These can only be taken slowly. "In addition, you can report to the Resident Affairs Department of the Government Affairs Department in three days to receive a daily necessity, including rations and cloth, tonics, and common medicines."

The young father obviously did not expect that the family members would receive a "reward" and hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you for your generous reward!"

"This is not a reward. Remember, rewards are different from government subsidies," Gao Wen emphasized. "This is an administrative system and the current law. From today onwards, all families with newborn babies in the territory can receive subsidies from the Department of Government, which is to reward your contribution to the population of the territory. Ten years later... the Department of Government will determine whether to continue to provide this subsidy based on the situation."

The people in the room listened to Gao Wen's words in a vague way. They probably couldn't fully understand all the meaning and meaning of this "system", but they would definitely understand the part that concerns their own interests, and that's enough.

After returning to the Lord's Mansion, Gao Wen immediately called Hetty and asked her to arrange the "newborn rewards and subsidies". After everything was arranged, he sat in his wide seat and began to plan the territory development route after the end of winter.

The territory was well cultivated, and foreign businesses also earned a lot of wealth. Military defense was gradually increasing. Under the premise of having no worries about food and clothing and safety, the baby boom will soon arrive.

However, it takes a long time for babies to grow into labor, so in a short period of time, the population growth of Cecil still depends on two parts. One part is to continue to buy slaves and gradually liberate them into free people, and the other part is to continue to gather refugees.

In addition, Cecil's current population actually has an additional huge increase from the residents of Kante, as well as the large number of farms, villages attached to Kante, and a large number of idle people in the hilly land in the east.

These populations are now legal citizens of Cecil, but they must first accept the "education" of Cecil's law and order.

Fortunately, "education" did not begin in spring.

During the past winter, Gao Wen has been subtly influenced Kant's territory. His substantive rule over that land was not limited to sending soldiers to maintain order, building roads, and commercial occupation. He was also transferring Cecil's rules to the Kant area little by little: initially, the craftsmen who came to Cecil to make a living abide by Cecil's rules, and then using these craftsmen as a breakthrough, various construction projects were launched in Kant's town. The newly added small factories, shopping streets, and renovated residential blocks brought the Kant people the economic source of winter and a better standard of living, and a new way of life. Then, soldiers were sent to maintain the public order in the new neighborhood, and constantly publicize, and Padric came forward to "unify the thinking" of the more prestigious people in the local area...

Nowadays, in the towns that Viscount Kant originally directly controlled, residents have gradually become accustomed to accepting Cecil's order, but Gauven still has to solve one problem: Kant leads the original knight class.

The old knights of Kant's leadership control the surrounding villages, wilderness development points, and garrison points.

These knights, the end of the Ansu land aristocratic system, are the distant extension of the feudal lords. Although they have no legislative power, no independent lord claims, and no many privileges and glory of the formal aristocratic class, they are still part of the old Ansu aristocratic system.

Legally, these knights should now be loyal to Gowen Cecil, but they have not yet sweared to them. Even if they have sworn allegiance to Gowen Cecil himself, they have not yet been allegiance to Cecil's "order".

As long as they exist for a day and are still controlling the land and population in their hands with the old order, then the land and population in their hands cannot become parts of Cecil's magic industrialization.

"Call the Knight Philip," Gao Wen turned his head slightly and said to the air beside him, "Go and go quickly and return."

A slight slight breath fluctuation appeared and disappeared in the air. The next moment, the sound of amber came from outside the window: "Received! I'm... Why are there mouse clips on the wall of the courtyard?"

Gao Wen smiled with relief when he heard the sound from outside the window.

Not to mention the courtyard wall, there are mouse clips on the top of every street light from the lord's mansion...

Not long after, Knight Philip appeared in front of Gauven.

There is also Amber who grinned at Gao Wen with all kinds of funny expressions.

Gao Wen directly ignored the funny half-elf girl and looked at Philip: "It's time to consider the old knights of Kant."

As a role model for young knights, Philip thought of the first thing he should do was the process he should follow: "Are you going to call them to swear allegiance?"

"It's not just a pledge of allegiance," Gao Wen smiled and looked into Philip's eyes. "I've actually been curious about one thing...how do you think of the new rules I've implemented."
