As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 726: Land of Expansion

A senior general in charge of the report was extremely excited.

It is said that war is the best way to make money.

The equipment of the Suling County army is actually quite good, and they are particularly good at long-range attacks. In particular, the manufacturing technology of bamboo deer bows and arrows has been continuously improved, and the red-blooded trident bamboo has been successfully cultivated. A batch of green-blooded deer bows that are comparable to ordinary bows and arrows have appeared. This is a secret weapon that has not been sold to the outside world.

With the help of the archer Zhang Wenfeng, many excellent archers were trained.

In addition, almost every cultivator in the Suling army is equipped with a magic sword.

But in terms of protective gear, it is still a little behind the other three counties.

Moreover, generally speaking, it costs more to create a set of magic armor than a magic weapon.

Jiang Ran knew that Zhou Bao had confiscated 500 golden beacon shields on the western battlefield. With these things, the Suling Army would be able to greatly enhance its defense.

In addition to the armor, there are also one hundred ordinary-level magical blades.

Five hundred pieces of wooden armor, more than three thousand ordinary swords and guns, more than two thousand wooden spears, one thousand shields...

Except for the magic weapons which were not used for the time being, Jiang Ran immediately distributed these ordinary weapons.

……

Although Jiang Ran was tired, he was destined not to rest today. After settling the prisoners of war, he rested for a while and then sent troops into Zhuoli County and Qingsong County overnight to kill all the direct relatives and three generations of collateral relatives of Yu Wei and Wen Li'e to eliminate future troubles.

The blood from the execution platform dyed the ground black, and the smell lingered for a long time, bringing a great shock to everyone's hearts!

“The sky has changed!!”

The situation changed, and the majestic Su army advanced into the territory. The common people were terrified. Overnight, the territory became the property of the Jiang family. No one knew what would happen to these common people in the future.

"Will we become slaves?" The previous lords often instilled in their people the idea that they would become slaves if their territory was lost.

It was not uncommon for the citizens of a defeated city to be turned into slaves in the Cang Miao Continent, and everyone could not help but feel worried.

"It's better to escape than to stay here as a slave!"

"What if you and I escape? It's even more terrible to be refugees, especially in this dry and cold winter. Now we are just cold and hungry. If we escape, we will just be slaughtered like sheep!"

"Besides, how can you escape? The soldiers are on duty at the border now. If they see anyone crossing the border, they will kill them as remnants of the hostile forces!"

"Oh my God, can you give me a chance to live?"

"Someone in my family has gone to the army. How are they doing? Can they come back?"

"…The new lord is the lord of Suling County. The people in the surrounding territories know that the people of Suling County live a better life. It is better to be ruled by Suling County than by the licentious and vicious lords of Zeyan County, Qingsong County and other counties..." A citizen of Zhuoli County comforted his family in this way. He was a lame peddler who had personally done business in Suling.

At this time, Jiang Ran had taken back most of the monsters from the six territories.

Unfortunately, the number of demons in the several territories combined is not as many as in her county, which is only twenty-seven.

Among these twenty-seven spirits, there are six that are currently more useful or have better talents for the territory:

【Pure Spring Grass Spirit Monster】

Qualification: Excellent (yellow)

Rarity: Rare

Personality: Greedy Age: 21

Spiritual element: Water

Variations: None

[I like to eat dirty things~~~]

The Jingquan grass can purify water quality. The Zhuo River in Zhuoli County can breed the small phoenix carp, a spiritual fish that has very strict requirements on water quality. A large part of this depends on this magical Jingquan grass.

[Flame Bean Spirit Insect]

Qualification: Elite (Green)

Rarity: Rare

Personality: Sharp, hardworking

Age: 1 years old

Spirit element: Fire

Variations: None

[Grow up! Hey hey hey! ]

The Fire Bean is the size of a red bean, and when mature it looks like a small flame wrapped in a red pod. Although the Fire Bean is not like a panacea that can instantly improve the cultivator's cultivation level when eaten, this is not a disadvantage of the Fire Bean. On the contrary, because its fire element spiritual element is extremely mild, even non-fire element cultivators can include it in their diet and take it for a long time to warm the body.

Just imagine, if the people of Suling regularly eat Yandou in the future, over time, their physical fitness will gradually surpass that of people in other territories.

What is valuable is that the Flame Bean Spirit Bug is a newborn demon spirit. Newborn demon spirits have not yet been raised incorrectly in Zhuoli County, so there is no need to spend time correcting them. This demon spirit has a very good physique and an excellent personality. Jiang Ran is determined to temporarily place it on the same level as the Red Crystal Wheat Monster and train it carefully.

The other three monsters are the Willow Gourd Spirit Insect, the Fire Shell Flower Spirit Insect, the Yingshan Wood Spirit Monster and the Wheat Spirit Monster.

Today, the wine industry in Suling is developing very well. It has become a standard feature of Nan Ke Tavern to serve bamboo-fed monkey wine in willow gourds that can preserve the taste of the wine.

Fire shell flowers can be used as feed for herbivorous magical beasts that possess fire-type spiritual elements. Xisong Ranch has a rare pink-fed dairy cow calf that gave birth to fire-type spiritual elements.

Yingshanmu is a tree whose bark can be used as medicine.

The wheat spirit is the most needed spirit in times of drought and food shortage.

The demon spirit, which seemed a little uneasy due to the change of its master, was temporarily sent to the comfortable demon spirit ring for comfort. Riding on the Green Dragon Horse, Jiang Ran led the army back to the city. He stroked the jade seal that had changed a lot with his fingers and took the time to take a look at the system.

[Territory basic information panel]

Territory name: Suling County

Lord: Jiang Ran

Territory land area: 18442 square kilometers

Territory marine area: 173690 square kilometers

Number of subjects: 28+

Loyalty of subjects: 57 (100)

Number of monsters: 57, including red wheat monster, cocoa monster, holy cotton bug...)

Yutu Secret Realm: Nanguan Secret Realm (county), Xiangling Secret Realm (capital), Xiaohanfu Secret Realm (township level) (……)

Overall level: County level (township, town, county, county, province, country, hegemonic level)

(Evaluation: A fledgling. Territory and population are expanding rapidly, but behind the joy there are also some storms and dangers.)

"During this drought, it seems that many people died in these major territories." Jiang Ran asked the skinny civilians on the road, "Before the drought, Yu Wei claimed that there were 200,000 people in his territory, which was a veritable populous county. Now it seems that there are fewer people in the territory?"

You know, Suling County already has a population of 110,000. Doesn't this mean that the total population of the six territories is only 170,000?

Tian Jing said in a rough voice, "How can there be 200,000 people in Zhuoli County? Yu Wei is just exaggerating. But in the past six months, many people have died, countless of them starved to death or froze to death. The Yu family was busy expanding their territory and harassing our county, so they had no time to care about the people below.

"Fortunately, after all the hardships, we have finally arrived in Suling County." Tian Jing knew Jiang Ran. Before the drought, he had stockpiled enough food for hundreds of thousands of people to last for two or three years.

Since the territories of Zhuoli, Qingsong and others have already surrendered to Suling, the people of Zhuoli and Qingsong are naturally also the subjects of Suling, and Jiang Ran will naturally not abandon his subjects.
