Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Phoenix County is a vast and prosperous region, which governs a total of 24 earldoms. These earldoms are all located in the core area of ​​the powerful empire, and their lords are all aristocratic families who have experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes and established illustrious achievements.

Because it is located in the heart of the empire, it has never been invaded by war. In addition, the mild and pleasant climate makes this land a truly economically developed area.

However, the sudden war and rampant plague brought a heavy blow to Phoenix County, which can be said to be the greatest predicament unprecedented in hundreds of years.

Just when people were worried, Tan Aili led the imperial army from the capital, overcoming all obstacles along the way, and after five months of arduous fighting, they finally arrived in Fenghuang County.

They have only one purpose for this trip, which is to restore the economic vitality of this once glorious place as soon as possible.

During the long march, General Tan Aili was fully aware of the importance of stabilizing the situation.

Therefore, she resolutely decided to leave 8,000 elite imperial guards and deploy them to various places along the way. These imperial guards not only shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining public order and resisting foreign invasion.

More importantly, the generals continued to actively participate in and promote local land reform, working hard to open up commercial routes and promote trade.

As time went on, the effectiveness of various measures gradually emerged. The previously blocked trade routes have now become unobstructed, allowing goods to flow freely.

Land reform also progressed smoothly, farmers had more arable land of their own, and their enthusiasm for production was greatly improved.

Cultural exchanges between the liberated areas and the capital became increasingly frequent, and various advanced cultures and technologies were continuously introduced into various places, further accelerating the pace of development here.

The prince himself is full of hope for the future. He firmly believes that with the help of Tan Aili's Imperial Guards, Phoenix County will be able to get rid of its difficulties as soon as possible and regain its former prosperity.

During the dinner, the prince talked about Sir Cassin's method of solving the plague here, and he praised it highly. At this moment, the church scandal will be spread all over the world by magicians, and they will discuss the world and human hearts with the Holy See.

"Marshal, your husband is capable and worthy of being a warrior of the empire. He has made great progress this time and has learned the formula of the medicine and created the rules of interrogation. I believe that there will be continuous good news from all places. Unfortunately, he left in a hurry again, and I didn't even have the chance to celebrate and reward him. Well, let you receive the reward on your behalf!"

"Your Highness, you are too polite. We will talk about the reward later. Thank you for collecting food and grass. Spring will come in a month and the army will choose a day to set out. Let the soldiers rest for a few days!"

"Since I took control of Phoenix County, stockpiling food and fodder has been my top priority. I dare not slack off for a single day, so there will definitely be enough food and fodder for the army to go out on the expedition! I also want to provide food and fodder to the capital one day to help my brother quell the rebellion..."

When Tan Aili heard that the food and grass problem was sufficient, she raised her glass and said with a smile: "The success of our army is inseparable from the support of Your Highness. I, the commander, would like to toast Your Highness on behalf of all the troops. Let's drink first!" After that, she raised her glass and drank deeply...

It has to be said that Tan Aili, who used to be obsessed with beauty and cleanliness, now doesn't wear any makeup and speaks and behaves in a masculine way. It seems unlikely that she can be the same in the army as she is at home, so her appearance has changed a lot.

At this moment, she is also training with the soldiers, and her muscles and physique have been improved. Perhaps Kashen will be surprised when he sees Tan Aili again, because at this moment, Tan Aili looks like a completely different person.

The prince smiled towards the wine glass and said: "This city was saved twice because of the rescue by Sir Kashen and Master Sendi. I am grateful to you on behalf of my subjects. It's a pity that Sir Kashen is not here, which is a bit regrettable..."

"You're welcome. My idiot doesn't care about these false names. I am also very pleased that he has grown from a wild boy to a great hero! Capturing the dark priest and saving the people is enough to make him happy.

Let him be! As long as the fool is happy, I fully support him... Hehe! The chef of the prince's family has exquisite skills, and I want to taste it carefully. Come on, bring the wine, I won't go home until I'm drunk today..."

What happened next was something of great significance to the development of the region: Blaney had a very significant conversation with the Prince.

The core content of their discussion was the matter of the Blaney family taking over the jurisdiction of the 200-li branch of the Quewei Mountains. This move had far-reaching strategic considerations and positive development expectations.

From the perspective of business development, the Blainey family attempted to open up a trade route to the Northwest by taking over the jurisdiction of the branches of the Peacock Tail Mountains.

Under the geopolitical and economic landscape at the time, the Northwest had enormous commercial potential that had not yet been fully tapped.

Opening such a trade route is like opening up a channel connecting prosperity and opportunities in closed areas.

It can promote material exchange, cultural dissemination and technology sharing among different regions.

Once this trade route to the Northwest is opened, it will lay a solid commercial foundation for building a new order in the entire region, promote the optimal allocation of resources, and promote industrial development and upgrading in various regions.

After listening to Blainey's explanation, His Royal Highness said he needed to understand the situation more clearly. He mentioned that under the current management system, there are some viscounts who are not very obedient.

Under the feudal lord system, viscounts, as local lords, possessed certain powers and territories. Sometimes they would refuse to cooperate with the central or higher-level management based on their own interests.

The prince was well aware of the obstacles this situation might pose to the advancement of the project. He proposed that if the two hundred-mile branch of the Quewei Mountains was governed by Conson Castle and Conson Castle was willing to bear all the taxes, then everything would become easier to negotiate.

The jurisdiction of Fenghuang County over the Quewei Mountains is only nominal. From the actual situation, the mountainous area of ​​the Quewei Mountains is barren, and it is extremely uneconomical to set up a special administrative team in such an area.

Under the old system dominated by lords in feudal society, due to the limitations of natural conditions in the mountainous areas, the economic development here lagged behind, the residents were relatively scattered, and it was impossible to collect much tax. Over time, this place gradually evolved into a so-called no-man's land.

This phenomenon not only reflects the limitations of the feudal lord system in resource allocation and regional management at that time, but also reflects the important impact of the geographical environment on social governance and economic development.

Conson Castle has a special position in the political landscape. It was one of the first lords to wipe out the church's armed forces, and this feat made it a loyal and reliable force in the eyes of the royal family.

From a political perspective, Conson Castle is regarded as a member of the royal family. In this case, there would not be much political risk in entrusting the entire area of ​​the branch of the Quewei Mountains to Conson Castle.

On the contrary, such an arrangement can make full use of the governance capabilities and resource advantages of Castle Conson to achieve the development and utilization of this area that has always lacked effective management.

The Blaney family offered to take over all taxes, which would be a net income for the empire. In addition, the Blaney family also promised to promote the New Deal land reform in the areas taken over.

The New Deal Land Reform was an innovative land reform policy in the social context of the time. It aimed to break the old land distribution pattern, improve land utilization efficiency, and stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for production, thereby promoting agricultural development and the stability and prosperity of the entire region.

The prince was very satisfied after hearing such a promise, because for him, it meant that he only needed to pay a little attention to the matter, and he could see the economic development, tax increase and improvement of social order in the region without investing too much energy.

In terms of military logistics, the army needed to spend the winter safely after entering Phoenix County. The family of Kanson Castle showed far-sighted strategic vision and strong support for the imperial army.

They began preparing food and fodder several months in advance, and the amount of food and fodder was considerable. As you can imagine, a large amount of food and fodder was piled up like a mountain, and millions of kilograms of pickled meat were prepared.

During wartime, sufficient supply of food and fodder is an important guarantee for the army to maintain its combat effectiveness.

For the soldiers who fought along the way, their top-notch meals were guaranteed, which meant that the soldiers were able to maintain good physical condition and fighting spirit, although this came later.

But it is also enough to prove the great contribution that Conson Castle made to the imperial army in terms of military logistics.
