Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 336 A Thriving Territory

The wind whistled past, and bursts of cool mist drenched his body, bringing a hint of coolness.

Chu Xin rode on the little red horse, strolling on the road in the agricultural section, watching the scenery on both sides of the road comfortably,
A large number of fields on both sides are connected into one piece, and all you can see is golden color, and there are dense farmers working in the fields everywhere.

During this period of time, they had enough food and clothing in the territory, and the complexions of these farmers recovered quite well, with smiles from the heart on their faces.

They work very enthusiastically. From time to time, some leaders will lead and shout a few slogans for the territory, and the whole field is filled with a kind of enthusiasm.

On both sides of the road, wooden carts are neatly placed, with a large amount of wheat, corn and other food crops piled up on them.

Because animal power is still more precious now, Chu Xin also pointed out that the cows and horses in the pasture should give birth to more. The delicate cows and cows have to use their physical strength to do other physical work, so naturally they will not do such physical work as pulling carts, so here Transportation is temporarily by human-drawn cart.

The road has initially hardened, a layer of cement is paved, and some gravel is simply padded underneath. The load-bearing capacity is still there, and it is no problem to carry the crops in the field.

The farmers harvested the wheat and corn from the field, and then they could directly pull the cart and transport it back to the warehouse in the territory.

In a team of two, one pulls the car in front, and the other takes care of the back. If you are tired, you can take turns, which is much easier than shoulder-to-shoulder.

The load-bearing standard of these roads is very low. In the future, if large-tonnage agricultural machinery or large-tonnage beasts such as the giant rhinoceros are officially put into production, the roads will need to be further improved and upgraded.

At present, only a few main roads and field work roads have been basically hardened in the territory, and most of the ground is still mud.

There is no way, the output of cement is still too little, and now only the production line of the goblin laboratory continues to produce, the daily amount is not much, and it is still very problematic to supply the construction of the entire territory.

The production capacity of the territory at this stage is here. Except for the only system production line in the goblin research room, it does not have its own production line for the time being.

Chu Xin has the formulas for cement, gunpowder and other items in his hands, but he really lacks the ability to mass-produce them.

There is no corresponding factory built in the territory. If we want to take this step, we need breakthroughs in the field of magic machinery from Tony and Ferren, or the introduction of new technical talents from the outside world.

It took an unknown number of years in the old era to complete the transition from the farming era to the industrial era. The easiest way for Chu Xin to accomplish this goal in a short period of time was to introduce mature technology.

Otherwise, relying on the two of Tony and Ferlan, even with the addition of many factors such as the gathering of talents, it may take a long time.

"My lord, good morning!"

"Good morning, my lord!"

……

Along the way, there are farmers kneeling on the ground from time to time on the side of the road, saying hello respectfully.

Most of their respect came from the heart, because there had never been such a lord in the past who could allow them to live such a beautiful and stable life.

These citizens have all experienced wars in the past, so they cherish and are satisfied with such a stable living environment more than anyone else.

Chu Xin nodded with a smile, and the farmers who got the response were very excited.

In their view, a lord like Chu Xin should always be aloof and not approachable like this.

Walking along the way, Chu Xin quickly walked around the entire agricultural area, and her face became a little stiff with a smile.

In fact, he is not used to the kneeling of these farmers. As a modern person, the education he has received in the past still has a lot of conflicts with such scenes.

But in the end, Chu Xin did not correct the farmers' kneeling. On the one hand, the other party really bowed down from the heart;

Going east along the agricultural area, Chu Xin came to the forest of mutated plants.

Mutated plants are special crops, ordinary farmers do not take care of them here, and Yinhe is mainly responsible for the daily care work.

It can directly mobilize most of the troops in the territory, and there is no shortage of manpower.

Colorful gourd vines occupy an area exclusively, and this area is specially taken care of by the Milky Way. Every day, elemental spring water and earthworms will be mobilized to promote its growth,

They climbed the rock-climbing shelf built by Yinhe, and grew very luxuriantly, with gourds of different colors hanging on them, giving Chu Xin a strong sense of shock from gourd babies.

The size of these gourds is no longer small, and different elemental energies have begun to overflow on the surface, such as the flame gourd emitting bursts of scorching heat, the ice gourd is covered with a fine layer of frost, and so on.

This is a manifestation of the gradual maturity of these elemental gourds, and they can be picked immediately. Only after the previous batch of mature gourds are picked, will the new batch of gourds start to gestate.

On the left of the colorful gourd vine is a large area of ​​walnut trees and pomegranate trees, these are common plants, subsidiary plants of the armored walnut tree and the explosive pomegranate tree in the Elven Garden.

They are not small in size, and they gather together to form a fruit forest, which is full of fiery red pomegranates and green walnuts.

These are the fruits that are currently limited in the territory, but Chu Xin doesn't like to eat them.

The walnut tree is in the same line as the armored walnut. It is not an ordinary paper-skinned walnut. Although the shell has only a thin layer, it is extremely hard.

Even if Chu Xin wanted to eat it, he had to use some strength to squeeze it open, and the flesh was very hard, only a little small, and it was very difficult to chew.

As for the pomegranate, it is a hard-seeded pomegranate, and the taste is not very good.

After Chu Xin tasted it once or twice, she gave up completely. Yinhe picked a batch and threw it in the warehouse, and threw the rest on the tree.

It is true that no one in the territory likes to eat these two things now. The two foodies, Cao Tuan and Bing Meng, have always focused on meat, and fruits have never been in their recipes.

In fact, Chu Xin really wanted to find some common fruit trees like apples, bananas, and grapes to plant. Given the current conditions of the territory, even if the climate conditions were a bit harsh, these common fruit trees should be easy to feed.

It's a pity that after so long, I haven't encountered a suitable fruit tree. There are so many open in the box, and a lot of ordinary crops, but the fruit is really not very open.

On the right side of the colorful gourd vine, there are armored walnut trees and explosive pomegranate trees. The fruits on them are much rarer, and only a small amount of fruits hang on them.

The armored walnuts and explosive pomegranates that ripen every day are picked by the galaxy and put in the warehouse in the inner city. These slightly more important materials will be stored in the warehouse in the inner city.

The shelf life of these mutated plants is quite long. In addition, the warehouse itself has a storage mechanism. They can generally be stored for a relatively long period of time. Basically, there will be no major problems if they are stored for a year or two.

Chu Xin equipped Ron and Uli with armored walnuts and explosive pomegranates as a means of self-protection.

These things are not big, and they are very convenient to carry around. Taking them out at critical moments can save a life.

It is not easy to cultivate a loyal management team in the territory, and Chu Xin does not want any accidents for them. For this reason, he specially equipped each management staff with varying numbers of guards.

On the one hand, it is to protect their safety, and on the other hand, it is to enable their orders to be better implemented.

The mutated plant forest used to be the newly established Green Goblin Forest.

This forest, which covers a large area, is lush and lush, covering the eastern part of the territory.

The resources in the Green Goblin Forest are very rich. When Chu Xin swept inside, he sensed several strange beasts. They looked at the world outside the forest with curious eyes.

For them, the border of the forest has rules that restrict their access, so although these strange beasts can see the scene outside the forest, they cannot get out of it.

Chu Xin still wanted to go hunting inside, but the forest was too lush, there was no passage suitable for the little red horse to enter, and there were strange beasts, so the little red horse might die in it if he was not careful.

Anyway, it's a building in the territory, so I won't run away if I put it here. I'll come back to explore when I have time. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find a few fruit trees inside and transplant them out.

The Boneyard was not there on Friday, and Atfield did not see anyone. It should be the transformation of the skeleton archer in the undead space.

This was the first official task that Chu Xin assigned to Atfield, and he still took it very seriously. During this time, he has been immersed in research in the undead space.

The natural resistance of the living to the breath of death made Chu Xin give up his plan to check the progress. Atfield will report to him when the results come out. There is no need to go in and check with the breath of death.

Xiaomeng wasn't on the Boneyard either. Chu Xin sensed that the little girl had gone to the clay swamp, where she happily played with giant claw crabs and giggled.

Chu Xin put a lot of earth-type magic cores into the clay swamp as compensation for the continuous digging of clay. Therefore, even though it absorbed a large amount of the power of the earth-type magic cores, its overall scope did not expand much.

However, the depth seems to be much deeper than before. The mud four or five meters deep would be a terrifying nightmare for creatures of normal size.

On the way, Chu Xin took a look at the iron dragon Harut's condition. It was still in a deep sleep state, like a hill under the disguise of Yunmeng Realm.

After a period of cultivation, Harut's condition has recovered a lot. The curse of the ghost dragon on his body has been completely eliminated, but the injury is still recovering.

Back then, it was not only attacked by the Scarlet Blood Demon Mosquito, but was also besieged by the undead once. Its injuries never recovered. It was only now that it settled down in Chuxin's territory and had time to recover.

This guy is a well-deserved big eater. After this period of time passed, and his injuries recovered, Chu Xin would squeeze a few barrels of dragon's blood from him no matter what.

It took more than an hour to walk around the territory for more than half a circle. Through intuitive vision, Chu Xin felt the thriving development of the territory.

At the last stop, he came to Ron.

During this period of time, the population of the territory has gradually expanded to more than 500 people. Chu Xin used the rest of the refugee recruitment orders, and at the same time recruited some in the dungeon exchange list.

But this population, compared to the space of the territory, is actually very small.

Chu Xin's current territory is already equivalent to a normal county and city, plus the surrounding areas.

Even though there are a large number of restricted access areas, the population of more than 1000 is indeed very small compared to a city of this size.

Among these new recruits, except for Chu Xin who selected some people with special skills to go to various positions, most of the rest were assigned to Ron.

Ron currently has five deputy managers under his command, who are responsible for logistics, population management, construction, skills training, and overall coordination. They jointly build the main management system of the territory.

Of course, it is mainly a management system for ordinary citizens.

With Chu Xin's consent, Ron established a contribution incentive system, which is somewhat similar to the work point system. As long as the daily work is completed, active overtime work or major research results can earn points.

With the points, the citizens are allowed to exchange some luxury goods such as wine and meat, or exchange for better houses, or even apply for better treatment.

Of course, if there is a positive incentive, there will be a negative punishment. If you fail to complete the work of the day, or violate the territorial system, you will be arrested and severely punished.

Seriously, they may even be thrown directly into the mine for labor reform.

There were a few thorns who refused to accept discipline before, but after being dealt with severely, they became much more honest.

The establishment of this set of systems let the citizens know that as long as they work hard here, their lives will be better and better.

There is hope for life, these leaders have expectations, and work has more motivation.

Coupled with the cultural bombardment on the territory's broadcast every day, their sense of identity and cohesion with the territory is growing, which is exactly what Chu Xin hopes to see.

It is worth mentioning that Ron's matchmaker is doing a good job unexpectedly. So far, more than 30 pairs of citizens have automatically gathered together to form a new family. These persons are all registered at the population management office of the territory. .

Their marriage is protected by the territorial system.

This is a good start. For these citizens, with a home, they can truly take root in Chu Xin's territory.

Those new recruits who don't have any skills will be sent to the Skills Training Department under Ron's hands to teach some skills corresponding to the jobs, and then be assigned to the corresponding jobs to work.

At present, there are quite a number of people who are learning various crafts such as forging, pottery firing, and cement configuration. Chu Xin plans to gradually train them to become the first batch of workers in the territory.

Chu Xin planned to wait for them to learn a certain level, and then began to try to configure gunpowder, cement and other raw materials.

These have already formed a certain proportion formula, and it is not too difficult to operate according to the fixed template.
