In the marriage customs of the Sathya people, the bride’s wedding dress is generally prepared by herself. Of course, the girls of the nobles prefer to ask a tailor to prepare it by themselves, and then sew a few stitches on it as self-made.that's it.

For Ella, she plans to sew the bridal gown by herself, seven months is enough time for her to make a satisfactory wedding gown.

After all, it is a once in a lifetime moment, and of course Ella takes it very seriously.

She did a lot of research on purpose. The Sathyas have their own bridal gowns, which are different from those in other countries who prefer gorgeous colors. The traditional wedding dresses of the Sathyas are white linen multi-layer fine pleated tulle skirts.The upper body of the gauze skirt is not much different from the high-waist long skirts that Sathya women usually wear. The neckline of the upper body is very low, the sleeves are long to the elbow, and the belt is tightly tied under the chest, elongating the proportion of the body.The waist is thinner and the legs are longer, while the lower body is decorated with layered skirts with pleats, forming a bell-shaped hem, which is quite a review of modern wedding dresses.

However, this is just the basic style of the wedding dress. On this basis, everyone's wedding dress is different, and the queen's wedding dress has no specific requirements. As long as it is not changed beyond recognition, it is all possible.

After knowing that there is no specific style requirement for the wedding dress, Ella planned to make some changes by herself. In order to make this wedding dress, Ella searched Lucis's warehouse and foundThey bought suitable fabrics and looted a lot of gems by the way, intending to use them to decorate wedding dresses and make matching accessories.

After Lucis knew that she was going to make the wedding dress by herself, he didn't want her to help her make another wedding dress. He just expressed interest that he could come to design the jewelry.

"In the wedding process, I will bring you the queen's golden crown of the sun, so the headgear does not need to be newly made, but other parts can be made new."

For Lucis's hobby, Ella of course chose to support, and in fact, since the headgear cannot be changed, there is not much difference in the styles of the remaining earrings, necklaces, armbands, and bracelets.

In addition to sewing her own wedding dress, Ella is going to start class again. This time it is Meyert who is teaching her. She needs to learn various royal etiquette rules and how to become a qualifiedQueen, to assist Lucis in managing the harem.

These contents and Meryet's strictness made her dream of going back to the fairy tale world and being taught by an etiquette teacher in the palace when she was a child. Fortunately, she is good at learning, and these etiquette rules did not make her feel strenuous. The learning progressIt went very well, but the maids around her have risen because of her, and they have to learn more things. The ambitious Tetis and the hardworking Debbie are okay, they gritted their teeth and persevered. Only two little maidsThey complained endlessly, but it was impossible for them to give up. Although they were young, the two little maids also yearned to become independent court ladies in the future.

While Ella and the maids were working hard to make progress together, the wind and rain outside did not bother them.

Several missions involved in the assassination incident have been detained. Lucis asked them to give a reasonable explanation. Later, Oston and others publicly stated that the assassination was planned by Gebitran behind the scenes. Of course, these peopleI will not let this opportunity go, and try to put the blame on King Gebitran.

And they didn't forget to refute themselves, saying that they didn't really want to assassinate King Sathya, but when someone came to the door, they thought of deceiving the other party first, and then turned to Sathya after getting the evidence.Wang revealed the assassination this time, but he didn't expect those assassins to strike so fast, they did it before they had time to find evidence.

The few missionaries who proposed to delay or give up the assassination were even more confident: "If we really want to harm King Sathya, how can we ask them to stop, so this is really just to catch them.A strategy to catch them all."

Anyway, it is impossible to plead guilty. If you really plead guilty, they will never even think about going back to China.

In order for Lucis to let them go, the members of these missions expressed that they would definitely give the great King Sathya a satisfactory compensation when they returned to China—so let them go!

How could Lucis let them go so easily, the evidence was thrown out directly, and the missions would never let them go without an explanation.

In the end, dog-eat-dog within these missions, the winners offered the heads of the losers to Lucis, and all the crimes were borne by these people who could no longer speak.

After chilling them for a few more days, after these people wrote that their king would offer more compensation, Lucis finally let go and graciously let these people go back.

When they came here they were ambitious, but when they left, they left with their tails between their legs. After getting the permission to leave, they didn't dare to stay for a second and took their packed luggage and left.Will never think of coming to Sathya again.

Afterwards, without waiting for the spies who went to Mio to come back, Lucis directly gave an order to the northern general to let their navy see any fleet with the Gebitran flag on the sea to go forward and inspect it in detail., if there is anything wrong, all the people and boats were seized, and a fierce questioning letter was written directly to the king of Gebitran, asking him to be responsible for this matter, otherwise their Sathya army would directlyArrive in Gebitran by boat!

At the same time, all the caravans from the Mio continent entering Sathia will encounter stricter inspections than before. It is impossible for them to make easy money in Sathia.

Since the other party has malice towards Sathya, don't blame them for showing their fangs and claws to this malicious guest.

And it was also during these inspections that Sathya really discovered some of Gebitran's conspiracies.

"I used to suspect that even though we have civil strife in Sathya, my two generals are still very powerful. Where does Gebitran have the confidence to defeat them?"

"now I know."

I came to see Ella while was free, and took a look at the style of the wedding dress she was designing. Lucis, who was good at designing jewelry, was sitting next to Ella, grabbing her.With silver hair, he played with his fingers in circles.

Ella didn't care about his harassment, she stared at the blueprint and thought about it, and gave him a little thought: "So what did you find?"

Seeing that she didn't pay all her attention to herself, Lucis was a little unhappy, and directly announced the answer: "Horse."

"Huh? Horse?"

Hearing this strange answer, Ella was finally willing to look up at him: "What horse?"

"The caravan of Gebitran is transporting horses to Sathya. They secretly purchased land in several countries in the northeast of Sathia, built pastures, and raised horses in them, preparing to use them against us."

If he had never seen a horse, or if he hadn't seen Ella saddle and stirrup the horse and nail the horse's paws, Lucis would never have believed that this herbivore, which looked like a donkey, could become a GobbitRan conquered Sathya's secret weapon.

And now, after seeing the mobility and combat effectiveness of horses equipped with harnesses in battle, Lucis recently ordered more horses from the small country that helped him catch horses, intending to train a team of horses.A mighty army on horseback.

As soon as Ella heard it, she understood: "Oh, they want to use cavalry tactics."

The cavalry beats the infantry, she knows this very well even if she doesn't know how to fight.

Lucis corrected: "It's not cavalry, they plan to use chariots."

What made him more sure that Ella was not from the Mio continent was that no one in Gebitran, a country that can be regarded as a powerful country in the entire Mio continent, made harnesses that could be easily used on horseback.The use of horses is only to use them to pull chariots, but Ella knows how to make things like horseshoes, which greatly increases the service life of horses. No matter how you think about it, she can't be from the Miou continent, right?.

"Chariots." Ella recalled the appearance of Roman chariots. Before the development of cavalry, chariots were indeed a more terrifying tool of war, so she nodded and stopped discussing this issue, but asked:"So you brought those horses back?"

"Of course I brought it back. Mio's horse is different from the ones we have seen. It is taller and stronger."

Lucis narrowed his eyes. Without Ella, Sathya, who didn't know the existence and power of horses, would have suffered heavy losses if he was unprepared when facing Gebitran's chariot.

But now, they knew about the existence of horses in advance, and even knew how to make a bow and archery harness that would allow them to sit safely on horseback. The opportunity was transferred to Sathya, and Gebitran's conspiracy can be said to be complete.All lose.

They can even be said to have given Sathya a great gift. The horses that can be selected as war horses are not bad in appearance, and they traveled across the ocean to a place that is completely different from the original living environment in the Feiluo continent., The horses that are still alive are definitely not bad. Now that these horses belong to Sathya, they can completely combine the excellent genes of the horses from the two continents to breed more excellent horse breeds.

Raising livestock has always been the strong point of the Sathyas.

"It must be the favor of the gods to me and Sathya to meet you."

Lucis suddenly put his arms around Ella, leaning on her neck and whispered this exclamation from the heart.

····

The Inlula River began to recede, the flooding season ended, and the whole of Sathya ushered in a busy farming season.

The people sent by the royal family to teach them new planting methods came to the royal lands all over the delta. Although most of these people were tenant farmers and slaves, the people above repeatedly told them that the stewards of these lands did not dare to underestimate them.Politely called a teacher, very cooperative with their work.

——If you don’t cooperate, you can’t do it. If their land does not increase enough during the harvest season because of their lack of cooperation, the stewards in charge of managing the land will all be dismissed.

In Tanis, people here are more enthusiastic about learning than in other places. Many villagers went to learn new planting methods, and their vegetable fields have more vegetables that were not available before, such as cucumbers and pumpkins.You can ask your relatives, friends and neighbors who work with Her Royal Highness the princess, so they can get started faster than people in other regions.

And what is most different from other areas is that near Tanis, many civilians chose to open up wasteland this farming season.

Sathyas seldom reclaim wasteland, because the food they grow, not to mention their own food, may not even pay taxes and grains, so even if they don’t have to pay taxes in the first year, because the harvest is too little, they still don’t have anyPeople go to open up wasteland.

But this year is different. This year, the deserted land near Tanis has been favored by many people, and the number of people who open up wasteland has increased dramatically.

Moreover, this land reclamation did not start from the farming season, but before that, some people were already doing it. Many of these people had relatives working on Ayla's land.Started to learn how to open up wasteland and farm.

Although Lusis issued a ban before, the farm laborers of Ella were not allowed to disclose the things in the field to the outside world, but before that, when the farm laborers did not know the harvest in the field, they had talked a lot about them with their relatives, friends and neighbors.The wheat grew very well, no worse than that grown in the best good fields.

During that time, many people would take a look at it from a distance when they passed by. They didn't know what was planted in the field, and they didn't know the specific yield, but whether the most familiar wheat was growing well, they could tell at a glance.See it.

So at that time, many people couldn't help but try to open up wasteland—anyway, they don't need to pay taxes in the first year. If they don't succeed, they just don't plant in the future.But it made money.

This also led other people to open up wasteland together, and made the managers of this land laugh together. These can all be counted as their achievements.

It's a busy start to the planting season and with the results looking good, everything looks to be going well.

However, the people in Tanis envy the most are those who were selected by Her Royal Highness's plantation to work in her plantation.

The treatment there is really good, making everyone jealous to the point of jealousy.

Not to mention that the remuneration of the first 100 farm laborers was already comparable to that of craftsmen, and later they could bring their children and juniors with them to learn and teach, and these young people who could not do much work in their opinion were notThose who work there for nothing can not only learn, but they can also get food as compensation.

The children of the common people in Sathya are always yellow and thin and short, especially at the age of smoking, they are as thin as skin and bones, not good-looking at all.

But these children who work in the princess's land obviously have to do a lot of things, but they have grown a lot of meat in the past few months, their complexion has improved a lot, and they are taller than children of the same age, Looking closely, their figures are still thin and thin, but their arms are no longer skinny, but some traces of muscles can be vaguely seen.

And the young children in the farmer's family also received nutritional supplements during this period, and began to grow flesh instead of being malnourished.

Such a child will inevitably grow better and stronger than other peers in the future, and the chance of dying is much smaller, so why not make people envious and envious.

So when heard that the princess was going to build a botanical garden, there was no need for Harnett to make a special publicity.

The civilians who originally thought that the previous treatment was already very good later discovered that the original treatment of the farm laborers could be even better.

That lenient and benevolent princess, their future queen, is willing to use illiterate civilians as managers, and in order to make them better qualified for this job, they specially invited teachers to teach them!

When they heard about this incident, even the civilians who thought they were already sour, suddenly found that they could be even more sour.

In particular, this steward may be their original neighbor and friend. Everyone used to be the same, but now they have become different visible to the naked eye.

One of the guards around Ella, Yanila's second brother, is one of the reserve stewards promoted by Harnett this time.

Except for Yanila, the rest of the father and son make a living by making papyrus boats. This can be said to be a good craft, but it doesn’t make much money.There are too many. Although the craftsmanship of the father and son is good, they are not at the top level, and their usual income is barely enough.Yanila's two uncles signed up without hesitation.

They are all grateful for their decision. The generous remuneration can be used to save part of the money after feeding everyone in the family. Now that the small piece of land has become a plantation, their work can continue for a long time, althoughIt's a pity for the family's craftsmanship, but Yanila's father decided to stay at ease and work as a farmer. When he can no longer work on the plantation, it will not be too late to go back and teach his grandson to build ships.

And this decision was even more reassuring when his second son was selected as the steward.

Those who are selected to be in charge can end their work a little earlier every day and learn characters with the invited literacy teacher. At this time, those young juniors who come to study with their families are also allowed to study together—of course, they can only observe, can not disturb the few people who really study.

However, the literacy teacher that Harnett invited was a good-tempered old gentleman, and he liked children very much. This old gentleman was actually a low-level priest in the Tanis Temple, and he was usually in charge of teaching newcomersThe trainee priests of the temple take classes, teaching experience dictates, and they like motivated students very much, so even if those young people didn't pay him, for the sake of those pairs of eyes eager to learn, he is willing to slow down a bitThe speed explained them in detail.

This is an opportunity for everyone to change their destiny. The temple will not provide free teaching for apprentice priests. Those who can go to school are either children born in noble families or children from families with good conditions.Ordinary craftsmen will not send their children to the temple to study, but stay with them to teach the craft, so that the craftsmen who pass on from generation to generation do not need to learn too many words. The teaching in the temple is very important to themis pointless.

And now the young people in the plantation are all poor and it is impossible to send them to the temple to go to school. They might not be able to know a few words in their whole life, but now, they have the opportunity to learn for free.

The children who were born in poor families and were brought by their parents to learn farming are all children who are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. None of them will waste this opportunity. Look at those uncles who are about to become stewards. How could they not realize it?The significance of this opportunity is likely to be a change in status in the future.

Therefore, as soon as the time came, the young people in the entire plantation would obediently gather around the open space for teaching, sitting on the ground and quietly listening to the elder priest's lecture.

It's just that although the old priest is willing to teach them, there are too many of them.

In the past, Ella only hired a hundred farm laborers, and the most children they could bring was this number.

Now this tradition continues, but her farm laborers have become nearly a thousand, and there are so many children, how can an old priest teach them.

So these teenagers who came to the class were fighting for the front position, and almost had several fights. Fortunately, they were more obedient and knew that they should not cause trouble in the plantation. The fights ended in the end between quarrels. In order to balance,They even privately set the order of sitting in the front in turn, and the rule that the people who were at the front of the day had to make up lessons for those who hadn't attended the class when they went back. They even divided groups for this, and those who came from the same place belongedIn a group, the front positions are rotated within the group, so that when you go back to make up lessons, you don't have to worry about being too far away to make up.

After observing for a few days, Harnett discovered that there were quite a few good seedlings in this group of children, and at the same time, because of their well-behaved and sensible minds, he also had some thoughts on nurturing them.

Before working that day, Hartnett called everyone together and gave them a choice.

He was going to go to the temple to invite some teachers to come back to teach the children, but His Royal Highness could not let the princess pay for the money, so he planned to let these parents pay.

If they are willing, he will deduct a part of the salary of all the farm laborers who have children who want to come to class every month as the teaching expenses of the teachers. Of course, it is okay if they don’t want to pay, but the children of their family can no longer study with them.Yes, it's not even allowed to go to the stewards of the reserve service to take classes.

As soon as the words were said, a young man crowded in the crowd couldn't wait to speak: "Master in charge, you can deduct my lunch, I can eat less, and use it as a reward!"

Then, many young people also expressed that they could deduct their lunch, and they could receive instruction just by eating a little less. Of course they were willing. Their lunch was not so rich before, and even if they ate less, they would not be hungry.

Before they could finish expressing their opinions, these teenagers were slapped down by their parents.

"How can you deduct your little food, Master Harnett, you deduct as much as we need from our remuneration!"

Is it because they don't want their children to study hard?Of course not, how could they not want to send their children to the temple to study, but they couldn't afford the tuition fees required by the temple, so naturally it was impossible to send them to the temple.

But according to what Manager Harnett said, as long as they pay a little monthly salary, they can hire a teacher to teach their children, so of course they would agree with it!
