Throne of the North.

Chapter 19 Ryan's Development Plan and the Second Opening of the Plane Gate

The winter in the Borean Province lasts four months, while the winter in the Tundra Territory lasts half a month longer.

In the four and a half months, Ryan had actually wasted about half a month, and he had to complete a lot of construction in the remaining four months.

The first thing to do is to finish the three fields before spring arrives so that there will be time to sow.

The second step is to draw a map of the entire permafrost territory.

Until now, he only knew that his frozen land territory was in the northernmost corner of the North Wind Province, and knew nothing else about it. This was definitely not a good thing.

You know, winter is coming, which means danger is coming.

The empire is located in the northernmost part of the warm southern world. Although it is powerful, it also faces threats from foreign races.

Those orcs, starving in the winter, will definitely move south.

Although the North Wind Province is not the only province that will be affected, it is definitely the one that will suffer the least. Although the Frozen Territory does not seem to have experienced the attack of orcs, it is so poor that even the orcs feel that there is no food or oil.

But Ryan was unwilling to leave everything to experience and inertia.

So he needs to know what the overall environment around the frozen land is like.

This is the second thing, second only to farming.

The third thing is the permafrost village and town that is currently under construction. It is the model of the future Beigar City and also a key step in stabilizing the entire permafrost territory.

Once you have a house, you can think about raising chickens, goats, etc. If you are richer, you can even raise a cow.

Even further down the Rhino Horn Mountain, they would have their own piece of fertile land, and most of the grain would belong to them.

With these, the Frozen Territory will have unprecedented cohesion, because Ryan also knows very well that his main means of population will come from other dimensions, and people who come from afar need to be given a sense of belonging to the Frozen Territory.

Once they have a sense of belonging and cohesion, Ryan can proceed to the next step and create more demands for them.

That’s right, Ryan had thought it through clearly, and he had already written a lot of plans on the birch bark.

If you want your people to not live in a muddle-headed way, you have to create demands for them, so that they have what they need, better houses, more livestock, and even a shop or a workshop, as well as blessings, knight's breathing method, and so on.

By creating demand for them, the development of the Frozen Territory can continue to advance as quickly as Ryan needs.

In addition to these three things, the fourth thing is the army.

Ryan never thought that farming was a stable thing.

You have to know that his first primitive accumulation was contributed by Knight Water. Without strong military strength, he could not even farm stably, not to mention that this was in the North, where there was a shortage of food.

It can even be said that military is the most important thing in the North.

But why did Ryan put this matter in fourth place?
Because his current territory cannot support more knights, squires and soldiers.

If Ryan wants soldiers who meet the standards, he must bless them. The spirituality required for the blessing is not a big problem in Ryan's opinion. The worst that can happen is that he can just go to another dimension.

The key is still the first one.

food.

A slave consumed less than half a pound of food a day, or even less.

A civilian weighs about one kilogram, and most of the time they go hungry.

Just like when Ryan first came to the Frozen Territory, the villagers here were pale and thin because they often did not have enough to eat.

And a soldier, a soldier with the physique of a trainee knight, how much does he need to eat?
Ryan asked Brand and got the answer: three kilograms. Under normal circumstances, with two to three hours of training per day, each of his soldiers would consume three kilograms of food every day.

From time to time, the soldiers needed meat supplies. Ryan was very generous and ensured that they had meat every three days even though there was no storage.

If he wanted his soldiers and his army to maintain their full combat effectiveness, he had to pay these things.

Therefore, the daily consumption of the forty or so soldiers under his command is a considerable number.

It's not that he doesn't want to bless more servants. After all, just a light tap of the finger can give a person the effect of two or three years of training. This kind of good thing is so great that he wishes he had an army of tens of thousands.

With the 778 spiritual powers in his hand (reduced by ten points due to the blessing given to the Bain family), if he could have an army of one hundred apprentice knights under his command, he would dare to make the area within a radius of thirty miles around Rhino Horn Mountain belong to him.

But the food is not allowed.

If this were to happen, the slaves would have no food to eat in a few days, and the civilians would starve to death in a month or two.

In short, in the North, food is the foundation of everything.

Even if a dragon comes, it has to eat first.

These are the four most critical things, and there are many minor ones besides these.

For example, the Tundra Lord needs a lot of clothes to protect against the cold, his soldiers need standard iron swords and armor, and they also need war horses.

As the territory developed, farmers needed chickens, ducks, geese, goats, cattle, horses, and salt.

He also wanted to build a road that could go directly from the frozen land through the mountains and swamps in the south, instead of having to cross mountains and ridges every time.

Finally, the Frozen Territory needs its own economic development. You know, even the Barony of Hatton, which is closest to it, is much richer than itself.

He even neglected his own Baron's Fortress for these plans.

Ryan is really poor.

In the current development plan, there is not even one that can be used as an economic crop, which means that even if these important secondary plans are completed, Ryan will still have no money.

After doing all this, he only made up for the gap in territory with other barons.

"The current northern border probably won't support me to continue to explore further, so the destination should still be in the other dimension."

Looking at his spiritual panel.

【Spirituality: 778】

[Divinity: Blessing of the Deer Spirit]

"It still takes 100 spiritual powers to open the space gate and maintain it for 24 hours. We are still heading to the Exnel continent, a plane where deer spirits are the faith."

"If we can find one or two villages and bring people here during this trip, it will be a profit."

Thinking of this, Ryan began to call Brand who was outside.

"Brand, take ten soldiers with me."

One hundred spirits disappeared, and the space portal opened. Even Brand and others who had experienced it once couldn't help but be surprised.

Ryan did not bring Beard with him this time. The old butler had recently become the busiest person in the Frozen Territory, so Ryan left all matters to him to supervise.
