This side actually doesn't have many real peaks, most of it is hills, large tracts of forest and wasteland stretching continuously, the sun shines brightly, without a hint of fog.

  The horse carriage is moving forward, and the sound of horseshoes behind has already become a continuous piece.

  In the distance, a small town appeared before our eyes. This was already the seventh small town we had seen. Each of the towns had its own style, but they shared one thing in common: they were all brand new and bustling with activity.

  Everyone is busy and in a hurry, rushing about on the ground, with no one to be seen idly chatting and whiling away their time.

  "Have you arrived in Friesland yet?" Fang Xin asked.

  "We have arrived at the Free Territory of Friesland, Your Excellency." The attendant in front of the carriage replied respectfully.

  "Alright, I see." Fang Xin glanced around and saw that the area near the small town was no longer a wilderness, but a vast expanse of fields. The wheat fields stretched out in rows, swaying gently in the sunlight and breeze, with many farmers working within them.

  When they arrived in town, there were paved roads, and the carriage suddenly became much lighter. Everyone who saw the emblem on the carriage bowed and paid their respects.

  After about ten minutes, the carriage stopped in the center of town.

  Fang Xin got off the horse carriage and found that the ground was paved with cobblestones, while all around were planted various trees, flowers and grasses. It was clear that some of them had been newly planted, but they were already growing luxuriantly. If this continued for a few more years, it would certainly be very beautiful!

  The center is a walled enclosure, but the wall is not high, only about one meter, with countless gaps on top, through which the inside scene can be seen.

  The most attractive one is the large white dome in the center.

  This is the temple of Hou Tu goddess.

  Inside, guards had already rushed in, kneeling halfway and saying: "Your Highness, welcome your arrival, but the bishop and pastor are all praying!"

  "It doesn't matter, go ahead and come in!" Fang Xin said casually, then walked in to take a look.

  The temple itself is not large, but the ground is made of black marble, and the pillars are also carved from jade. Although small, it shows beauty and grandeur. Upon closer inspection, the first pillar has already been carved with an image of the goddess of the earth and her own statue, which is a tribute to the goddess and the messenger.

  Fang Xin was stunned and lost his smile, waiting outside the door without disturbing the prayer in the temple - Bishop Baniel was leading a group of apprentice pastors in prayer, and in the center of the temple, there stood a goddess with a beautiful face. At this time, white light radiated from the statue, enveloping the entire temple.

  After his victory last year, Fang Xin sent people to draw maps and count the population, as well as repair what is now called "Blue Fort" - the Earl's Castle, which although an earl's castle, was grand in scale and would have been sufficient for a Grand Duke's capital.

  Three months later, the results came out. The area of this side is roughly 10,000 square kilometers. The edge of the side is empty space. Fang Xin was therefore enfeoffed as a noble and allocated land.

  The entire territory is divided into eight counties and two independent domains. The imperial family has private domains in two counties, the nobles and knights have a total of two and a half counties, one independent domain is a religious domain, also known as Friesland, and another independent domain is a commercial domain, where Kampen City was built. The area of these two independent domains is approximately 500 square kilometers each.

  There are still three and a half counties, which are public domains, managed jointly by the Grand Duke, the Temple, and the nobles. However, in reality, those places are still uninhabited areas. After all, the population is only 72,000 people, and no one can be arranged to go there for reclamation.

  After Bishop Barnard was consecrated, he went to Frisia with 1,200 people. The first thing they did was build a temple and received the help of the nobles. It took them half a month to complete it. When it was finished, the idol shone brightly, showing divine signs.

  At this time, Bishop Barnier finished the prayer with the crowd, and several little girls from the choir had already withdrawn, but this sacred atmosphere still enveloped the entire temple.

  Fang Xin couldn't help but sigh, Bishop Barnier took a posthumous sutra as the foundation and created an entire set of religious rituals that gained recognition. This is its achievement, although it bears the imprint of Western civilization, it's already quite remarkable.

  "Welcome, great divine ruler, ruler of the earth!" Bishop Barniel finally came out and bowed to Fang Xin, while behind him, several priests in white robes also bowed.

  "Bishop Baniya, you don't have to be so polite, judging from the situation, what you've done is really good."

  "This is your achievement, shall we go upstairs and talk?"

  "No need, let's go for a walk, I want to talk to you!" Fang Xin said with a smile: "Are these all pastors?"

  "Probationary pastors, they are not yet qualified to take on the sacred vocation of shepherding the flock." Bishop Barniel said, wearing a white robe with a circular holy emblem, looking dignified and elegant.

  "I just went out for a walk, and the national territory is being opened up and cultivated, the situation is still good!" Fang Xin turned around, left the temple, and walked on the road. Although this road has been repaired, it is sparsely populated. Listening to the distant calls of cattle and sheep in the fields, listening to the shouts and shouts in the distance, Fang Xin felt a sense of joy and regret: "The population is really too small, and there are very few cattle and sheep!"

  As it was newly built, the houses were all wooden and neatly arranged, making the streets seem very spacious. However, due to the small number of people, although walking on the street, it felt as if entering a mountain forest.

  "Your Majesty, the state has been established and order has been restored. It won't take much time for it to flourish and prosper, and there is also your improvement in agriculture." Bishop Banielle said calmly, as if he had nothing to do with the situation that had been going on for three hundred years.

  Fang Xian remained silent, but in fact he was now establishing a relatively powerful monarchy.

  The Grand Duke was already seen as the "person who has received divine grace to rule the kingdom", although the fiefdom was implemented, but the public house had two counties, accounting for 22% of the country's territory, more than the original historical European monarch with the strongest royal power in the UK, which accounted for 17%, not to mention the management rights of public territories, and also had direct control over all levels of nobility.

  This system should be quite stable and strong, able to meet the needs of this region for several hundred years in peace, as for later, that is the business of this region itself.

  Of course, Fang Xin's most proud achievement is still the improvement of farming.

  Here, whether it is the small-scale farming of peasants or the large-scale estate management, neither can improve the low labor productivity. Because the two-field system is implemented, the arable land is divided into two blocks, one block is cultivated and the other block is left fallow, alternating every year.

  Due to the prolonged war, iron tools were scarce, and many places did not have plows. They simply used branches and other objects to make shallow furrows in the fields, sowing seeds and reaping a harvest that was less than three times the amount sown - what a low yield!

  Fang Xin is naturally not good at agriculture, but he has also read about it. Now, he announces the implementation of the three-field system and the use of heavy plows for animal husbandry.

  The so-called three-field system is that the land is divided into three parts, one part is planted with winter crops such as winter wheat, one part is planted with spring crops such as oats, barley or various beans, and one part is fallow, not using cattle, but horses to re-plough the land.

  Do not underestimate the significance of this simple reform, for it alone would increase production by 50%, as it plants different crops to prepare different food resources for people, and the planting of oats provides more fodder for horses, making their widespread use possible. As for the planting of legumes, it strengthens the fertility of the land while also increasing its productivity.

  In this regard, merits and virtues have descended, the only pity is that the proportion of these merits and virtues is too small.
