The mayor of the town had no face on the spot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of a king, his courtiers are judged to be saints, even if Lane has the name of the Ming King, who dares to guarantee that Lane will not be jealous?

That's a big taboo!

If it had been before, even if all the tongue-chewing people in the town were hanged on the spot, no one would sigh for them.

The mayor already wanted to kneel down on the spot and beg for mercy.

Who knows, King Ryan directly raised his hand, raised the palm of his left hand, and made a gesture to stop.

Ignoring Joseph, who was already kneeling in fear, or the trembling mayor, he turned back to Prince Varian and said, "Son, today I want to teach you a lesson in the way of kingship. ”

"Father, you say, I listen. The little prince nodded earnestly.

"To be a wise king, one must first do one thing - never be jealous of a courtier who is more talented than himself. In turns, I am far inferior to your Uncle Anduin, he is the god of war in the hearts of soldiers, I am not. I can't even learn the skin of your Duke brother, I only know that under his stewardship, my people are living a better life. ”

Ryan shrugged, pursed his lips, and made a funny expression: "Well, if I'm the kind of stupid king who can't see his subordinates can't be made saints, then should I cut down Anduin, hang Duke, and then let the people burn me at the stake? Oh oh oh! That's too bad, I might as well die in Stormstorm Fortress in the morning. ”

Infected by Ryan's funnyness, after hearing Ryan's words, Anduin next to him, as well as a group of accompanying ministers, and even the royal family's guards showed a relaxed smile on their faces.

They all knew Ryan very well, a king who might not be the most powerful, but he was definitely of noble character.

"Absolute trust in courtiers who are good to the people, you know? like your Uncle Anduin and Brother Duke. ”

Varian looked at him with adoration: "I see!"

Ryan's behavior reassures Mayor Mare's and Joseph's family and opens up conversations.

Through their mouths, Lane gained a more real understanding of how effective Duke's policies were.

When there was no need for war for the time being, Duke asked Lothar to order the army to take a temporary break, and more than seventy percent of the soldiers were given leave to return to their hometowns to participate in the reconstruction.

There are only two requirements for these soldiers: one is that they must return to the army to report after the spring ploughing next year, otherwise they will be punished as deserters, and the other is that they must wear military badges when they work in their hometowns, so that everyone knows that the kingdom has asked them to come back to help.

With the return of a large number of strong men, the reconstruction work has been accelerated.

At the same time, due to the abundant grain harvest in the western wilderness, the people had little to worry about starvation this winter. If only to this extent, Duke's name would not be enough to become sacred in the hearts of the people.

Perhaps Duke's brave fight against Nesario is talked about in the martial kingdom. But for most civilians, it's just an after-dinner conversation. The only thing that can really make them smile happily is a stable and happy life.

Originally, everyone was ready for the worst.

There has never been a great migration in history that did not require a large number of dead people. Frail old women and children die of starvation, cold, or disease in the shortest possible time.

But Duke, who is a time-traveler, reverses all this with his modern conventional medical knowledge.

The concrete road that runs from east to west throughout the Elwyn Forest provides the most solid foundation for the transportation of supplies. Long before the recovery of the Stormwind Kingdom, Duke had Edwin Van Cleef and Grian Stallman ready for everything.

Duke perfectly considers every aspect of food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

First of all, winter clothes, there is cotton in Azeroth, and the arrangement in the western wilderness as early as possible made the Dark Gate 2 autumn, and the Stormwind Kingdom harvested 200,000 catties of cotton. This is not an ideal number, but it can allow most women and children to live a relatively warm winter.

The people of Azeroth are still mainly made of burlap, and they used to rely on fires in the winter, when did they wear such warm clothes? Everyone who wore cotton clothes was full of praise for this new winter coat that they called 'Duke cotton clothes'.

In terms of food, Duke added a lot of meat in addition to basic brown bread. The small fishing boats, which could not sail far, were sent out early in the morning, and with the help of the fishmen, there were continuous catches even in winter.

The high-fat whale meat and various fish are already ice cubes when they are brought ashore, and although they are a little heavier, they are better preserved. Able to be transported from Stormhaven all the way to East Elwyn Forest, hundreds of kilometers away. People can add a good meal to their families at a very low price.

During the great retreat, the populace lost almost all of their belongings.

Duke can't always make big payouts, because it breeds corruption and laziness, so Duke's approach is to work for money.

There is a wage to build a house for a neighbor.

There is a wage for transporting food and cotton clothes for the village.

Women are also paid to make cotton clothes.

Children are paid to help make javelins.

There is a wage to take care of the elderly, the sick and disabled.

Soldiers on leave are paid to participate in patrols.

There is also a bounty for killing the beasts or the remnants of the orcs who come to attack them.

Almost as long as you can work and are willing to work, you definitely don't have to worry about starving to freezing to death. Duke also imposed a three-year minimum wage and a maximum wage system, and hanged several profiteers who had inflated prices.

And in the winter, when everyone could not work, the farmland for the coming year was allocated to each family early and seeds were planted.

In addition, because a large number of old nobles were completely wiped out, more than ninety percent of the citizens became free people. Those nobles who were newly crowned because of their military exploits were strictly limited in the proportion of taxes.

For a time, the spiritual outlook of the people of the whole country was completely new.

This wasn't limited to the town of Shining Gold, Ryan's group headed all the way east, as was the case at Blackwell Farms, and at the East Valley Lumberyards.

If there is any difference between different places, it is that in Duke's territory, the implementation of various policies is more resolute. Ryan meets Danielle, the steward of the East Valley Lumberyards, and discovers that the former Master Mage has become the director of a factory specializing in the production of magical items.

The cold winter has not yet passed, but the hearts of every citizen are warm.

They are looking forward to the arrival of spring.

Because, it is the birth of a kingdom!

The deceased Archbishop Alonsos Fao was a saint in the spiritual realm in the hearts of the people, and Duke was a saint in the material realm, because of him, the people lived an unexpectedly good life.

So his name became sacred in the hearts of the people, and from this winter onwards, it was customary for the people of Storm to put the word 'holy' in front of Duke's name. (To be continued.) )
