Chapter 55: Reignite the Spark (Subject)

The "rebel internal strife" expected by many "gentlemen" in the new land failed to happen.

What shuttled between the Tiefeng County Army and the Leiqun County Army was not shells and lead, but messengers holding green flags.

Richard Mason, who was in Maple Stone City, took the initiative to send beer freshly brewed from newly harvested barley to the troops stationed in Leiqun County and Bianjiang County.

Colonel Skur symbolically gave the captain a pure white horse.

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

As a result, the hearts of Fengshi City people who were hanging in their throats gradually dropped, and the tension inside Xinkendi also eased.

However, Colonel Skur and Lieutenant Colonel Magash did not easily accept the proposal to jointly manage Maple Stone City, but solemnly expressed that they needed to communicate with Colonel Geisa before giving a reply.

However, with the absence of officers stationed in towns in various places in Xinkendi and the deterioration of public security, the post-transmission system once established by Xinkendi Legion has long been invalid.

Although all armies have set up small post transmission systems in their own control areas, once they need to contact the outside world, they will immediately degenerate back to the inefficient mode of "one man and three horses to run the whole journey".

This communication method is not too delayed in the distance that can be reached in a single day.

However, if you want to send a letter further away - such as Jinghu County, the cost of time will surge exponentially.

Moreover, reliability will also decrease seriously, and there will even be a situation where "the messenger who sets off later will return first".

More importantly, since the division of troops in Hegu Village, the letters sent to the Baishan County Army have begun to go but not return.

On the grounds of safety, after Colonel Geisa received the letter, he would only send the messenger away with a receipt proof that the letter had been delivered, and never let the messenger take him back.

A recent letter from the Baishan County Army informed that they had successfully crossed the snake seed and were advancing towards Bazenaur.

Winters closely watched the troubles in Jinghu County, but he did not have the patience to wait for the result of "communication".

After Bad led a large number of accounting students to Artemis and Pierre presented the last seven keys to Vorne County, the army of the Iron Peak County that had been resting for a short time started to move again.

The cavalry with strong stern escorted civilians and rushed to various parts of Vorne County to check the fields and maps; the loyal and reliable infantry took over the checkpoints and outposts on the main traffic routes in companies.

The Announcement jointly signed by the guarantors was also sent to the whole county, and even the most remote villages had at least one copy posted on the notice board.

Among them, the tax collection part won the favor of all Vorneshire people.

The reason is simple: The "ruling committee" announced that from now on, both taxes and taxes in Vorne County will be levied according to the standards two years ago.

Not only that, the "ruling committee" also specifically allows farmers to wait until the autumn harvest and then pay this year's cap tax and land tax.

After learning that after the Battle of the Great Wilderness, all the special taxes issued were banned at one time. Whether it was farmers, merchants or handicraftsmen in Vorne, they all ran around and told each other.

If before that, when the Vorneshire people spoke the term "blood wolf", they only had fear and disgust.

Then now, they will at least add the respectful title of "Your Excellency".

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

The bold businessmen drove out of the high walls in their carriages, trying to get the first pie before the others.

For ordinary people, traveling far away alone no longer seems to be a terrible thing—at least it is no longer a suicide act.

Grain harvest, transportation is restored, people's hearts are at peace... It seems that the "good" days of the past have come back.

But no one knows how long such a "good" day can last.
