In more than a month, the Offa Empire has returned to stability. The Witch Mutual Aid Association has completed the takeover of the entire country, and Richard's control over this country is deeper than that of Adian. In the past, Adian could only manage large cities, and those small towns only collected taxes and relied more on their self-governance. The Offa Empire now has unprecedented control over the empire. Next, in order to improve productivity, Richard began to promote the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes. In the past, most farmers here planted oats and rye, and the grain yield was extremely low. The seed-to-harvest ratio is frighteningly low. One acre of land sows 20 kilograms and harvests more than 100 kilograms of grain. It is completely dependent on a large amount of farming to produce enough food. In Richard's opinion, such planting is a waste of manpower and material resources. Now according to Richard's request, it is replaced with potatoes and sweet potatoes. Even if one acre of land is very barren, it is normal to harvest 1,000 kilograms. At the same time, those farmers were forced to compost. After understanding the agriculture of this world, Richard found that the agricultural technology here is extremely backward, and even the farmyard manure technology is unknown. No wonder the grain yield ratio is so low. Those ignorant farmers were unwilling to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops that they had never seen before, so Richard had to force them to plant them. He didn't have time to explain to those ignorant guys. In Richard's eyes, these people were a group of consumables, consumables that provided food for the empire. This was not Dongda, which he was connected to, and he didn't need to implement benevolent policies at all. After letting farmers switch to planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, the grain output would definitely increase several times, so that a large number of people could be transferred to mines for mining.
In order to make the most efficient use of food resources, Richard planned to use an organic matter decomposition and synthesis furnace to process it into food similar to starch biscuits. This organic matter decomposition and synthesis furnace was a machine that Richard had seen in a doomsday plane. It could decompose and synthesize various organic matter into starch to the maximum extent. For example, the corpses of demons, various branches and dead grasses, the corpses of insects, even poisonous deformed bodies, animals and plants with excessive radiation, etc., could all be produced into starch after passing through this organic matter decomposition and synthesis furnace. Of course, starch can also be made into starch biscuits or foods similar to bread, energy bars, and paste. They are easy to consume and not unpalatable, but they are definitely not delicious. But they can provide a lot of calories and fat, and can fill the stomach. They are very popular in that doomsday plane. Of course, many black market merchants directly throw mutant corpses into it to make starch biscuits for sale. Richard bought two sample machines and production process manuals at the time. Before the war, he made several furnaces because he felt that this war was likely to cause a food crisis. By the way, the name of this furnace was also changed to biosynthetic furnace. Those people killed in the battle and the dead and wounded war horses were thrown away directly, which was a waste. Whether it was buried or burned, it would take a lot of manpower. If it was not handled properly, it would cause plague. Now it is very appropriate to throw them directly into the biosynthetic furnace for waste utilization. You must know that these corpses and war horses are high-energy substances, which can be converted into more starch biscuits and are very suitable for large-scale long-term storage. At the same time, some grass, wood, and moldy food were all thrown in. Finally, they were made into starch biscuits and stored. Don't think this kind of food is bad. In fact, after decomposition and transformation, it has basically nothing to do with the raw materials. What do people eat in this era? Black bread with a lot of sawdust and stones added. Every time you eat it, you have to saw it with a knife and soak it in hot water for half an hour before you can barely chew it. When it's cold, it's a deadly weapon. Is this thing delicious like starch biscuits? You know, starch biscuits are also biscuits, but there are no sawdust and stones in them, and there are salt and grease. It's much better than black bread. I'm afraid that the group of mining slaves have never eaten this kind of food. Now this kind of starch biscuits is prepared by Richard for the mining slaves. After his wizard tower is built, the food of ordinary civilians will be directly replaced with starch biscuits. After the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown by farmers are taxed, the remaining grain is directly exchanged for starch biscuits according to the proportion. Not only is it easy to preserve, but it also tastes good. I believe those civilians will agree. The biosynthetic furnace can convert energy to the maximum extent. Several large biosynthetic furnaces have been running at full capacity during this period, converting a large number of corpses, wood, dead grass, etc. into starch biscuits. All the people who were in charge of operating the machines were controlled by Richard's mind, and they worked very hard and quickly. After stabilizing the country, Richard began to have people re-establish taxes, cutting off various taxes and integrating them together to collect 80%. The country needs to be built, and the people will suffer temporarily, and if they have any opinions, they can just hold them back. Relying on the current land output, even if it is 20%, it is enough to support their family. Richard stayed in Vengerburg for more than a month, and only after the country was stabilized did he start to return to Eisenland. The war to wipe out Aedirn did not affect Eisenland. The entire Eisenland was under rapid construction, and various caravans came to sell supplies. It can be said that many caravans made a lot of money during this period.
Eisenland has now become a large construction site, and many places are being rebuilt. The scope of the city has expanded four times, and the Witch Academy, the Royal Palace, the Wizard Tower, and the Anti-Magic Smelting Plant are all being built in an orderly manner. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Everyone, all get out of the way!" Old Potter, who had just sold his goods and was going to look around to see if there were any business opportunities, was chatting with another caravan manager, Old Billy, whom he knew. Suddenly, a team of cavalrymen wearing red cloaks rushed towards them. Behind the cavalry, there were infantrymen wearing the same color clothes. Everyone on the street was driven to other streets. Hundreds of soldiers wearing red clothes and embroidered with fire phoenix patterns appeared on the street. These soldiers had long swords on their waists, wore breastplates, carried a shield on their backs, and wore silver helmets, looking very majestic. These soldiers quickly lined up on both sides of the road, with one soldier every meter. After several months of training, these soldiers have been trained into elites. Among them, the centurion is a blood knight. In the past few months, Aisenlan's strength has increased very quickly. The number of witches has approached two hundred, and witches from other countries on the continent have also fled here. "Whose convoys are these? Now, take the convoys away immediately! This place has been temporarily requisitioned!" Kelly stopped her horse and pointed to the convoy not far away. "Sir, this caravan is mine. What happened? Why is the road under martial law?" The sudden situation made Old Billy panic. He was worried that his caravan would be forcibly confiscated by them. He would not be able to report to those nobles at that time. "Don't ask too much. Now, move your caravan away!" Kelly said coldly: "If it is still here when I come back for my next inspection, then you don't have to move it!" Seeing the witch angry, Old Billy didn't dare to ask more. He hurriedly asked the caravan's guys to move the caravan to the backyard of a nearby inn. "Who is the manager here?" After sending away the two merchants, Kelly asked loudly when she saw the nearby streets. Today's matter is very urgent. This main road connecting the palace and the city gate must be sorted out before noon. When she came, Sister Ye Funi, the vice president of the Witch Association, had already told her that no mistakes were allowed today. "Dear Councillor Kailin, I am the person in charge of this street. What do you want?" A middle-aged man in a government uniform hurried over. "Your name is Karel, right?" Kelly had some impression of him. "Yes, Senator!" Karel said respectfully. "Very good, clean up all the debris on this road immediately. At the same time, no one is allowed to enter within 50 meters on both sides of this street. These soldiers will assist you. It must be completed before noon. Is there any problem?" Kelly said. Karel said respectfully: "As you wish, respected Senator, I will do my best to complete the task before noon!" "Very good, go!" Kelly nodded. Karel saluted and quickly led people to start cleaning work. This kind of thing is easy for him. Although the time is a bit tight, he can guarantee it. Today's parliament's order is different from before. He didn't ask much. After years of hanging around in the grassroots officialdom, his ability to observe words and expressions has long been perfect. During this period of time, the entire Aedirn has been occupied, the Offa Empire has risen strongly, and the Offa Empire has no regulations that non-nobles cannot be officials. He has a good chance of being promoted in the near future and going to other places to serve. During this period, the news in the parliament has spread. After the Offa Empire occupied Aedirn, it would appoint a large number of officials to manage it. This is his opportunity. This morning, the whole city was active. The witches who rarely appeared in normal times came out one after another and suspended various construction projects in the city. Then the road from ten kilometers outside the city gate to the palace was under martial law and cleared. An expensive red carpet was laid at the gate of the city, and on both sides of the carpet, there were two rows of knights in armor. And behind these knights, there were two neatly arranged square formations. From the city gate to the back, there was a soldier guarding every meter on the whole street. The whole street was covered with red carpets. All the shops on both sides of the street closed their doors, and the distance of fifty meters on both sides of the street was separated. Although the witches were not worried that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, they did not want anyone to disrupt their welcome ceremony. "Oh my God! Such a big battle, what are these witches going to do? Are the kings of other countries coming?" Old Potter and Old Billy, who had just arranged the motorcade, whispered while looking at the street in the distance.
Just now, they spent a full thirty silver pesos to arrange the motorcade, which made the two misers feel distressed. "Don't be silly, have you forgotten the declaration of the witch masters? They want to severely punish cults and witch hunters, and at the same time threaten to hang those kings who support witch hunting!" said Old Potter next to him. "They are now putting up this battle, it is obvious that the person they are going to welcome is extremely noble, more noble than the witch masters!" "Hiss! More noble than the witch masters? Who is that?" Old Billy took a breath. Old Potter smiled mysteriously and whispered: "You treat me to a drink at the tavern tonight, and I will tell you!" "Damn old Potter, don't try to deceive me again! Anyway, the person the witch masters are welcoming will arrive soon, and I will know it naturally when the time comes!" Old Billy didn't buy his tricks at all. Seeing Old Billy's look, Old Potter could only say: "Well, you win, I'll tell you!" "It is said that the king of the Offa Empire is a wizard. If I'm not mistaken, the witches are here to welcome His Majesty the King!" said Old Potter. "King? Isn't the king of the Offa Empire the witch Ye Funi?" "Fool, learn more about the local situation when you have time, otherwise you won't know how you died!" Old Potter glanced at him and said. Ye Funi looked at the changed Aisenlan in front of her, and she was in a very good mood. You know, a few months ago, she was still a witch hiding from place to place, and just a few months later, she was a member of the entire empire. Such a huge gap made her heart surge. All those who hunted her, despised her, and were hostile to her were dealt with. Zoroastrianism was uprooted in this country, and those civilians no longer dared to look at her with contempt and hostility. Now those people looked at her with only fear and awe. Sure enough, what the mentor said was right. Instead of letting yourself be hostile, excluded, and despised, it is better to let others fear and respect yourself. And all this was brought by her mentor, the magical and great Sir Richard. "By the way, is the carriage ready?" Yefuni asked after calming down. "Sister Vice President, the carriage is ready. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be modified?" A beautiful witch next to her pulled out a gorgeous carriage. The carriage was pulled by six pure white horses. The carriage was luxuriously decorated, and the golden phoenix pattern made it look luxurious and extraordinary. "Very good!" Ye Funi nodded. "Is the palace ready?" "Ready." Witch Daisy said. Soon an army appeared in the distance, and everyone's mood immediately became tense. Richard was in a good mood when he saw the grand welcome ceremony at the city gate. His great emperor returned to his loyal Eisenland. "President, welcome back!" Ye Funi led many witches to greet him. Richard laughed and said, "At this time, you still don't want to call me Your Majesty?" Many witches shouted, "Your Majesty, welcome back!" "Your Majesty, welcome back!" The surrounding army also shouted loudly. Richard immediately boarded the gorgeous carriage and moved forward surrounded by many witches.
