Chapter 212 War Mobilization

Even if the nobles left over from the Iron Principality surrendered, they still retained the title of nobles, but almost all the rights and interests of the nobles were deprived. It is said that now in the territory of the Kingdom of Fire, those who retain the title of nobles will be ordered not to participate in the work salary must not be less than one gold coin per month.

This is actually very difficult to do in the current Flame Kingdom, because most of the current Flame Kingdoms are industrial and most of them are physical labor. Although there are also some that require a certain amount of literary cultivation, such as literacy and calculation, it is difficult to have more than one gold coin.

In addition, many nobles are disdainful of working, and they think this is just something that the lower class needs to do. The nobles only need to dance, learn aristocratic etiquette, etc. and social activities.

In fact, as time goes by in the Kingdom of Fire, many nobles would have to put down the noble's arrogant heads, because the land was taken back to the state, and the noble power was also greatly taken away. The only remaining little land and the original stored funds would probably be the limit to maintaining a huge manor and castle for one or two months.

It is estimated that in another month, most small and medium-sized aristocrats will be forced to sell their mansions, and even voluntarily give up their aristocratic titles from the Fire Kingdom administrative agencies, and they will even do some manual labor in exchange for certain rewards.

Of course, the great nobles may be better. After all, the family background for hundreds of years is enough to support them for one or two or even ten years. However, some smart great nobles will seek changes, they will start to trade and learn to manage, and these people will be the original capitalists of the Flame Kingdom.

The carriage drove across the crossing bridge, and the huge copper bell was ringing. The sound of "Dangdang" cut through the air. The sentry shouted on the tower that often rang out over the days: "Kasenia District Transportation Team~ Release!"

The homeless people curled up in straw and cotton wool woke up and lay one by one on the guardrail of the carriage. They saw the tall gates open in front of them. The carriage drove onto a road paved with bricks without any gaps. The line of brand new houses spread out at the end of the road, and the smoke drifted in the sky. The carriage drove to the east at the first intersection and headed to a central square.

“The twelfth batch of Kasenia District!”

Once again, the powerful voices of soldiers exploded in the air, and the wagons' carriages entered the square with this call. Rows of wooden sheds stood on the edge of the square. Recorders who registered the population and soldiers who maintained order had already been in place. A huge stove was built in the center of the square. The fire was burning under the stove, and the aroma of stewed food was floating out of the big pot.

A woman with a big waist and round waist stood beside the stove and stirred the chowder soup stewed in the pot with a long-handled spoon. This nutritious and easy-to-digestible soup is the most suitable food for hungry people. It not only replenishes their physical strength quickly, but also prevents the stomach, which has become fragile due to long-term starvation, from being damaged.

The moment I saw the food, forty-six yellow-faced and thin refugees in the seven carriages seemed to feel at ease.

Sophie could feel this sudden and reassured breath because not long ago, she was also a member of the carriage who suddenly felt reassured.

The day when the last batch of refugees arrived in the territory safely was also the day when the first batch of newly built refugee refugees were completed. There were more than 2,000 houses in the first batch, which belonged to a four-story house structure, each building could accommodate nearly 200 people.

This is thanks to the "magic quick-condensing cement" that Celia and Lao Gan has been tossed out, coupled with the continuous refugees, the powerful Taurens and Renault's house design concept from the earth. The first batch of new houses were completed at a faster speed than Renault expected. A brand new four-story building is located in the open space near the original camp tent. No lord's castle has been completed so quickly in history. This is naturally due to the building materials developed by Celia and Lao Gan. However, Renault believes that the more important reason is that he did not persist in using natural stones to build the castle like those traditional nobles, and he also had to build the castle on the mountain.

In fact, the nobles in this world may not have developed magic cement, but if they have to be fast, they can actually achieve a quick effect by using some earth-type spells of the caster. However, because of the nobles in this world, a simple thing has been complicated by them dozens of times.

It's like using bricks and tiles to build a large villa on the flat ground, but it's much easier to build a castle on the top of a mountain with stones.

Reno knew that the architectural requirements of traditional castles were to resist the enemy. Rather than saying that they were some kind of residence, it would be more appropriate to describe them as "military fortresses", but he did not intend to build that kind of facility in the Kingdom of Flame - first, it was a waste of money and second, he felt it was unnecessary. After all, he could all be beaten to the castle by the enemy, which was almost no different from failure. Really powerful, in fact, it was a showdown of top-level strength in this world.

When it comes to an emergency, digging a hole underground and building an air raid shelter with cement is definitely much more solid and reliable than any contemporary castle.

This kind of four-story house should be the architectural style trend of the Flame Kingdom in the future. It looks like a lot of people, because it looks like a house made of a whole piece of rock. Just looking at the appearance is enough to make many nobles feel novel and incredible.

But if it is placed in a noble mansion of the same era, I am afraid it can only be described as "simple". Renault's initial idea was just to solve the current population of the territory to alleviate housing tension. Its entire structure was arranged with practical and useful goals, and there were four beds in one room. It can be said that this was completely the style of Renault copying the student dormitory in his previous life's memory. There was a public restroom on each floor. When this dormitory greatly relieved the pressure of housing, he suddenly felt that all the designs he had racked his brains before were worth it.

Although there are no ornate marble windowsills in this room, no shiny crystal sculptures, no dome paintings and exquisite columns in the style of northern countries.

In the spring of the fifth era, in 1331, after winter, a messenger riding a tall horse with a thorn flower emblem hanging on his body, holding a purple-red two-color flag in his hand ran into the heart of the Flame Kingdom along the border of the Flame Kingdom, and finally arrived at the Flame Kingdom capital through several areas.

The messenger was intercepted before entering the capital, and the letter he brought was sent to William an hour later.

In the present central government of the former Lord's House, William received the letter he had been waiting for from the guards. It was an extremely formal and even grand letter. It was sealed in a painted tube with gold thread, written in the softest and toughest light parchment and spice-filled ink. Between the gorgeous fancy font and the difficult-to-mouth aristocratic grammar, the content that William had long been waiting for.

Celia, who was reporting on the research progress, curiously crossed half of her head from behind William. Looking at the content on the parchment, she saw a diplomatic letter with an extremely polite wording but not friendly at all.

The Crescent Principality under the Kingdom of Thorns and the Destruction of Thorns and the Destruction of Steel jointly extended greetings to the Lord of Fire and solemnly protested the recent acts of the Lord of Fire for destroying the subordinate states of the Kingdom of Thorns; solemnly protested the acts of the Lord of Fire and solemnly protested the acts of the Lord of Fire and solemnly protested the acts of the Lord of Fire and solemnly protested the deprivation of the noble privileges and the infringement of the territory of the Lord of Steel; demanded that the Lord of Fire immediately stop the destruction of the noble order and restore the noble privileges to prevent this bad atmosphere from spreading and affecting the habits of the nobles on the mainland, and also must return the territory of the original Lord of Steel as soon as possible, and pay an extremely generous price to apologize...

They also listed a large number of evidence of the suppression of the nobles by the flame master, which was a behavior of promoting arbitrary behavior, and also released slaves on a large scale, murdered the nobles of the former Iron Duchy of Steel, conspired to subvert the Iron Duchy of Steel, and threatened the steel bus to pass through the country. There were more than a dozen items of true or falsehood, which amazed Celia.

In the end, the letter finally revealed the willingness of "to maintain order, we even took the initiative to negotiate with force under certain circumstances."

Celia looked at William who finished reading the letter seriously, and then saw William picking up the dipping pen at his hand with a calm look on his face.

She asked curiously: "Are you going to write a reply?"

William shook his head and wrote a word at the end of the letter:

Read.

"Go and hand it over to that messenger," William rolled the parchment back and stuffed it into the paint tube, handed it to the guard beside him, ignoring Celia's stunned expression, "When it's still early, go back and report it quickly--the messenger will not be left for lunch."

"You just write one word?" Celia seemed to be unable to believe what she saw and confirmed again and again, "This is a Zhan Shu! It is a Zhan Shu handed over to Renault. According to the convention of the human nobles on the mainland, wouldn't we go back and forth to fight more than a dozen verbal battles first?"

"The master has said that the war on the Kingdom of Thorns will break out sooner or later. Since that's the case, that's enough!" William said with a smile, "As for other replies... the Kingdom of Thorns will not want to see it."

Celia left with a confused look on her face.

In this spring season, other countries are still thinking about how to plow spring, but the first national war after the founding of the Flame Kingdom has begun.
