In the few days after the hanging execution, Simon moved various reward and punishment systems in the village of Fold to Esbai. At the same time, the "Sacred Pits" that were favored by God also quietly began to bloom everywhere in the fields around Esbai.

Seeing the oak in the territory being cut down and made into crosses and then inserted in front of the pits filled with manure and hay, Simon felt that this was a waste of wood.

But there is no way, the villagers of Esbai Village’s thoughts on God’s beliefs are not consistent with the villagers of Folde Village across the river.

In order to allow the stubborn medieval farmers in Esbai Village to accept watering crops with manure, Simon specially invited Father James to explain to the villagers and hold an exorcist ceremony.

When the work in Esbai Village was done, Father James had to keep moving around the various knights in the Baron's lords and promote feces with the halo of God to every field.

However, Father James, who was exhausted and panting, seemed to be happy. After seeing the miracle of the miracle of "Shadow Pit" in the beginning of this spring, he believed in the story made by Simon. In his opinion, promoting "Shadow Pit" is tantamount to spreading the gospel of God.

The agricultural reforms made the farmers at a loss and restlessness. The priest's explanation made their anxious stones sink to their hearts. In addition, they were surprised to find that after clearing the feces that could be seen everywhere outside the house, the air actually became much fresher.

As for when they can change their attitude towards feces and fertilizers from barely accepting to extremely fanaticism, they can only leave everything to time.

In addition to agricultural reform, Simon also moved the militia system in the village of Fold to Esbai.

A group of strong farmers were selected and led by Hann, who performed well in the last battle, to conduct basic training.

It is worth emphasizing that many of the peasants who joined the militia of Esbai were captured by Quinier's army peasants who were released by Simon in the last battle.

They were one of the most favorable people in the new territory who had a crush on Simon. They had seen the indestructibleness of Foldburg and the powerful weapons of Simon's army. When the opportunity to join this powerful army was placed before them, almost no one hesitated - they had no doubt that this would be an opportunity for transformation.

No matter what mood and thoughts they had, they joined the newly formed Esbai Village militia, and the formal training on the first day really gave them a warning.

The physical training of long-distance running caused all the new militia to complain, and some even had the idea of ​​quitting, but soon, the sumptuous lunch at noon allowed them to recover quickly.

The rare new militiamen who ate meat and internal organs swallowed the food made Han En cover his face and laugh. With a smile, Han En couldn't help but remember his first training a year ago and his transformation over the past year.

Who would have thought that a young boy who didn't even dare to execute a bandit kneeling on the ground a year ago has now become a veteran who has experienced the war and has been appointed as an instructor to train new recruits by the lord?

Things in the world are so impermanent.

On the third day of training, a batch of wood transported from the Dihes logging farm arrived. Like the soldiers of the Fold village in last year, the militias in the Esbai village had to take into account the reinforcement of the wood fort in addition to training.

With Ryan's help from crossing the river, Simon doesn't have to go to the town like last year to find a stonemason to help with the construction of the wooden fort.

In addition, Ryan brought Simon news about Feldburg. According to Simon's idea, a small dock will be built on this side of Feldburg for ships to berth, becoming the connection point for the newly built ferry to the opposite bank of the Rhine.

Now, the project in Foldburg has begun. Although the relationship between Baron Simon and Earl Lange is like fire, from a cost-effective and time-saving approach, ordering wood from Lange's logging yard is the most cost-effective and time-saving.

Fortunately, Count Lange is currently handling affairs in his new territory, Kenpon Valley, and has no time to give a command such as a premium for orders to Simon, which allows Simon to purchase many raw materials at the original price.

In addition to using wood to reinforce the wood fort and build ferry crossings, Simon also ordered the establishment of outposts on various major passages on the territory's border to charge tolls and enhance the territory's defense.

In Simon's vision, these outposts were eventually built to look a bit like the towers of a wooden fort.

The first floor of the sentinel tower is made of stones, completely enclosed and has no doors to store the living supplies of the sentinel soldiers.

The second floor of sentinel is used as a soldier's dormitory. The door opened on the second floor is connected to the ground with a ladder that can be folded up, so that the enemy will not be able to break through the sentinel tower in a short time.

The top floor of the sentinel has a wide view. When an emergency occurs, soldiers can ignite the prepared firewood. The wolf smoke rising from the hero will spread the enemy situation throughout the territory, so as not to leave the territory unprepared when attacked.

After the arrangement of these matters, Simon received a reply from the Church of Defentel.

In fact, in order to prevent the trip from failing, Simon wrote a letter a few days ago and sent someone to Deventel Church, mainly asking about Monk Linde and whether it would be convenient to visit in the near future.

Simon knew that in addition to living in churches, performing mass and copying scriptures, monks would also regularly visit the people of the parish and roam and preach. He did not want to lose.

The reply from the Deventel Church was written by a priest. In the letter, he said that there was indeed a monk named Linde there, whose recent work was to copy the Bible in the copying room, and Simon could visit him at any time.

So Simon's trip began.

On a misty morning, Simon ate a piece of roasted venison with bones, drank a bowl of heated milk, and rode two Foldfort cavalry along the main road northward.

Their first stop was the Earl of Tossendria, southeast of the Principality of Flanders.

When Simon arrived at the border of the Dehes Forest, he saw a dilapidated cabin covered with vines beside the main road ahead.

Next to the cabin was a soldier holding a spear, and a moss-covered wooden horse was blocked in the middle of the road.

Simon recognized the soldier, who was from Fort Folder.

When Simon just took over this territory a while ago, in addition to leaving some soldiers to station in the village of Esbai and the surrounding manors, he also sent some soldiers to take over the outposts on the territory's border.

This dilapidated outpost wooden house was left by Baron Quinier. Simon can foresee that soon, a brand new tower will replace this shabby wooden house, giving soldiers a stronger sense of security.

When Simon and his group approached, the soldiers saluted Simon and said hello. Another soldier walked out of the house and the two worked together to move the rebel horse to the side of the road.

It has to be said that the outpost was set up in the right place. The dense trees on both sides of the road were enough to completely give up any businessman who wanted to find another way, but the flaws were also obvious, which also provided natural cover for hiking smugglers and bandits.

Simon thought that he had to ask Sir Bill from Deeth Village to form a team of longbowmen. They usually train and hunt in the forest, and also act as forest rangers to capture all the poachers, smugglers, and green forest heroes.

Simon left the outpost and continued north for a while. The trees on both sides of the road became increasingly sparse, replaced by large plains covered with juicy grass.

After lunch, they continued to move. The outline of the town appeared in the mist in the distance, and there were more pastures on both sides of the main road surrounded by fences, and the sound of cattle and sheep mooing was endless.

"Where is this?" Simon asked the cavalry leading the way.

"My sir, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the town of Nijmegan, the center of Baron Clevo."

Simon and his group entered this town with strong animal husbandry. The wooden walls outside the town only surrounded half of the houses, and most of the vendors sold dairy and livestock products, and some even sold milk bread.

Two gatekeepers stood in front of the gate of the wooden fortress in the center of the town. They wore pointed nose-protecting iron helmets, tough leather armor, and the spears in their hands were straight and sharp. It seemed that Baron Clevo was in a good financial situation and could provide his subordinates with pretty good armor and equipment.

"This is Baron Simon of Foldeburg. We come to visit Baron Clevo, the neighbor of the northern part of the territory with the greatest kindness. I hope you can tell me." The cavalry said loudly to the two guards.

"Ri'an, this noble lord. Although I really want to tell you, I have to regret to tell you that Lord Clevo went out to hunt the day before yesterday and may not be back in a few days." The guard with freckles on his face replied.

Simon, who had lost his life, was not discouraged. The village of Esbai is not far from Nijmegan, and he can come and visit him at any time.
