My Empire War Game

The current military strength of Zhenbeibao has changed a lot. From the earliest there were only 71 barbarian warriors, there are now 186 military strengths including the security team and recruits.

Thirty security guards, forty recruits, forty reinforcements, and five scouts who have just completed their initial training, plus the barbarian guards, is the military force that Su Lun has now.

Zhenbeibao now has a population of more than 2,000 people. Of course, more than 70% of them are serfs from Su Lun. Even those refugees rely on Su Lun to work for their survival.

Because of the trade, several caravans come to trade in Zhenbeibao every month. Now the white sugar of Zhenbeibao is very popular in the northern provinces. It is also because of the white sugar that high-end rum is also successfully sold in the nobles. It has been almost four months since Su Lun came to Zhenbei Fort. This small town that penetrates into the northern wasteland has also gained some popularity among the nobles.

As long as there is no accident, Su Lun, the pioneering lord, will become a real territorial noble. At that time, many nobles will come to curry favor with him. After all, a rising territorial noble can seal a large number of low-level nobles.

Su Lun never thought of accepting the service of those nobles. Those nobles must have lost their minds. He didn't plan to assign territories to those nobles. Now he is busy harvesting food.

It has been more than three months since the first farmland was reclaimed. The first batch of potatoes has matured in about 100 days, and the remaining potatoes will be in the next half. Mature within a month.

As long as there is a bumper harvest of potatoes this year, with the output of potatoes, even if potatoes are no longer planted in the next few years, there will be no famine in Suren's territory.

Of course, starting from next year, Suren will also reduce the number of potatoes planted and plant some wheat and other grains instead. After all, isn't he going to eat potatoes, fried noodles, xiaolongbao, and scallion pancakes all the time? Why do you want to eat potatoes when you have the conditions? He plans to try all kinds of food from his previous life slowly.

The first batch of land reclaimed in Zhenbeibao belonged to the best paddy fields, and the land was considered fertile. Although there is no fertilizer, the yield of the potato crop is still very good.

When it came to the first potato fields, Sullen randomly selected a few fields, and then let the serfs start harvesting food.

"Sir, all the land you have divided has been manned." An attendant came to Su Lun and said.

Su Lun looked at it, and the serfs on those lands were all ready before nodding, "Let's start."

"Start!" shouted a loud soldier next to him. With an order, in these specially selected fields, the serfs began to harvest potatoes when they came with various tools.

The soft soil opened, grabbed the vine and pulled it hard, and a bunch of potatoes were pulled out from the soil. Shaking off the soil, the potatoes at least the size of a fist were connected into a bunch. It looked very pleasing. The weight of a bunch of potatoes was several kilograms.

The potatoes are pulled from the vines, and the fruits are thrown into the bamboo baskets next to them. The potatoes in each piece of land will be weighed together. This is to estimate the yield per mu of the field to the maximum extent. Although there are still errors, they are also different. Not much. Through these can roughly estimate this year's potato production.

An acre of land is not big, these serfs are fast, and they all want to make a good impression in front of Su Lun. As long as Su Lun is happy to reward them with a few points, they will be able to gain freedom faster and then own their own land. , these people are very satisfied.

Soon one acre of potatoes in the vicinity was harvested, and Su Lun asked people to go to weigh them. The baskets of potatoes were sieved to remove the soil and then weighed. The potatoes produced by each piece of land were weighed one by one.

Potatoes are widely grown in this world, and most of the common people's food is potatoes. Who made this kind of work easy to grow and high yield? Only a small amount of land will be grown with crops such as rice and wheat, which are often used to pay taxes. Moreover, rice and wheat are basically only eaten by nobles or big businessmen as daily food.

The taxation in this world is not low, because the taxation in various places is set by the lords. It is good for the kindness. Those who are greedy will collect various taxes. There is also a poll tax to be paid every year. In short, various taxes are collected from the aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

When farming every year, the nobles’ land must be cultivated first, and then they can plant their own fields. Every week, they have to work for the lord for three days. If there are no potatoes, half of the commoners in this world will starve to death.

About half an hour later, the potato yield of these lands was counted. The potato yield of the largest plot was 303 kilograms, and the potato yield of the least plot was 254 kilograms.

The output of more than 200 kilograms is not too high, because it is new land, the output in the first year is slightly lower, and when there is farmyard manure next year, the output will be higher, even the current output, the output of these land is also It's enough to feed tens of thousands of people, and potatoes can be grown three seasons a year, so he doesn't have to worry about food for a long time.

After the food is settled, Su Lun can increase the efforts to introduce population. At least 300,000 mu of fertile land can be cultivated here in Zhenbeibao, which can support 50,000 or 60,000 people. Now only about 10,000 mu has been cultivated. Going to leave those lands empty.

The geographical location of Zhenbei Fort is still a bit remote, but if it is not so remote, this land will not be developed by him, and it has already been occupied by others, so there is nothing to complain about. If Su Lun wanted population, he could only rely on caravans to bring in some refugees each time, or go to Carter City to buy slaves.

However, these two methods cost a lot of money and are slow to be effective. Unless Su Lun is sure to get a recruiting order every once in a while, this is the best method.

For those drow elves, Sullun also wanted to subdue them. Drow elves also belong to a powerful race, and compared with the obvious shortcomings of barbarians, drow elves have almost no shortcomings. Of course, if they are not dark girls of faith, Sulun also dared not accept these drow elves.

Except for the drow elves who believe in the dark girl, in Su Lun's opinion, nine out of ten are mentally ill, and every day is full of conspiracies and murders. It is better to practice riding more when you have time The technique is good.

So far, Su Lun has still not taken the initiative to contact those drow elves. After fleeing and finally settling down, these drow elves are actually very sensitive and insecure, and they have lived in that intriguing environment for a long time, making them very uncomfortable. It's hard to trust other people, and Suron's best way now is to show them some kindness, but not too close.

In fact, Su Lun has already regarded this group of drow elves as the meat of his mouth. Those drow elves who live in the dark world all year round cannot adapt to the environment of the northern wasteland. It's cold, I can't imagine it if I haven't experienced it.
