Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 89 Territorial Affairs
The Moon of Resurrection passed quickly in the receiving territories and peoples, and the Spring Moon came.

The round of grain planted last year in Long's territory has been harvested, but for the territory and people he now owns, this amount of grain is only a drop in the bucket.

After forcibly confiscating the food of all human nobles in the territory as a lord, the food in Long En's hands was barely enough to feed all the people in the territory.

Although in order to expand the cultivated area and restore the agricultural production in the territory, the new wheat and tubers harvested in the harvest month of last year were planted in the field as seeds, or sold to farmers who had land to cultivate by themselves, causing them Only old grains that have been stored for several years are left in his hands.

But the refugees who have been reduced to fleeing due to the war don't care about the quality of the food. They are already grateful if they can eat enough.

"Great master, the population statistics of Blackstone Town have been completed. There are a total of more than [-] people, of which more than [-]% are young adults who can work, and [-]% are human cubs."

The mage took over the census form and the territory development progress report form presented by Glengo, written on the paper made by the territory itself, and Ron casually corrected Glengo's words: "Humans generally use children instead of Cub."

Flipping through it a few times, and after reading a few reports, Ron said, "Is it possible to complete the construction of civilian housing in Heishi Town before the Spring Moon ends?"

Glengo bowed and said, "According to the current progress, it can be completed in late Spring Moon."

Ron nodded, signaling Glengo to leave.

Glengo exited the dragon's lair, and Ron's voice came from the cave: "Next."

Floris, who was holding a lot of manuscript paper, came in with an excited smile on her face. The new job Ron gave her was very interesting, and she devoted all her energy to this new job for a while. .

"Successful!" Before approaching Ron, Floris excitedly waved the manuscript paper in her hand and said, "Your cauldron of boiling water can really weave cloth!"

Hearing the good news, Ron grinned and corrected, "That's called a steam engine."

With Ron explaining the principle and providing ideas, Floris and the copper hammer worked out a steam engine that could be used.

The airtight casing that was difficult to make in the first generation of steam engines was not difficult for dwarves, which made the research and development of steam engines progress rapidly, and even the application models with steam engines were also produced by them.

Ron looked at Floris' steam loom manuscript, praised a few words of approval, and said: "The mechanical structure is still too complicated, you and the copper hammer can improve it."

After finishing speaking, Ron pointed to a strange mark drawn by Floris on the heating position on the drawing, and asked, "What is this drawing?"

"It's a magic circle!"

Floris took it for granted, "It's too troublesome to burn charcoal all the time. If you want to build hundreds or thousands of hot pot looms as you said, you need to build several more charcoal-burning workshops."

"I casually changed the heating circle in the dwarf furnace to maintain the temperature inside the furnace a few times and put it into the hot pot, so that I don't need to keep adding coal to it."

Ron originally wanted to wait for Floris to fully understand the steam engine, and then let her use spells to improve the parts that could be replaced with spells, but she didn't expect that she would incorporate spells into it in advance during the experiment.

As expected of a spellscale with a keen and active mind and a natural talent for spells.

Praise again, and let Floris continue to improve the steam loom based on this idea, and after making more machines that Ron said, Floris couldn't wait to trot away from Ron's dragon lair , it can be seen how attractive these novel machines are to this spellscale.

Recalling Floris' love for him at the beginning, Ron breathed a sigh of relief. The spell scale's short-term enthusiasm for him seemed to have finally shifted, and it focused on scientific research.

After Floris left, a figure slowly walked up to Ron.

Ron looked at the embarrassed old Haddo, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, keep the mentality that you are joking with your own wig."

Hearing the gigantic and majestic blue dragon teasing him, Old Hado also remembered the scene of taking off the fake release ceremony in front of Ron, Curelia, and Vidirpan, and couldn't help showing an embarrassed smile. The uneasiness in my heart has dissipated a lot because of this.

"My lord, this is a material purchase list formulated according to your instructions."

Ron read it carefully twice before saying, "Very good, Hado, you know the civilians better, and you know what they need. There are many things in this list that I didn't expect, and you did a good job. "

Old Hadow bowed down respectfully, and said: "It's just because I understand the same kind better, and I just follow your orders. The civilians in Blackstone Town should be grateful for your kindness. It is you who gave them jobs and food. and shelter, that all may be free from hunger and cold."

After sincerely praising Ron, Old Hadow saluted again: "I also thank you for giving me this opportunity to manage Blackstone Town together with Master Glengo."

Master Glengo?This guy is really pretending to be a dog now.

Ron smiled and said: "After all, humans still make up the majority of Blackstone Town. It is more reasonable for you to participate in the management, and it will be easier for the common people to accept."

"I will leave it to you to deal with those businessmen from the Principality of Lamington, and send someone to me to withdraw the funds needed."

"Yes, my lord." Old Hadou nodded, and said again: "In addition, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to you."

Ron nodded to signal old Haddo to continue.

"According to your order, we handed over the notice of taking back the territory to all the human nobles who are still in your territory, but... there are not many nobles who are willing to give up the territory." Old Hadow said.

"Not many?" Ron smiled with ferocious fangs, "I don't think there are any?"

Old Hadow nodded and said, "As you expected, there is none."

"I have worked for the human nobles for 30 years. From what I know about them, no noble will be willing to give up their territory. It is a proof of their noble status. According to the laws of the human kingdom, even their lords have no right to arbitrarily To dispose of their territory, not to mention, like you..."

Ron sneered and said, "Not to mention a monster like me."

Ron didn't feel offended in the slightest. He had expected that those human nobles would resist his orders, and he was already prepared to deal with it.

Ron said lightly: "Give them one last chance and send a notice. Those who violate it will bear the consequences."

The corners of Ron's mouth were grinning, his ferocious fangs gleamed coldly, and he smiled and said, "Tell them, what they have to abide by now is not human's set of rules, but my laws."
