Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 33 Agricultural Production First
"well done."

Karen praised that this improvement in agricultural tools was very meaningful. Food is the most important thing for people. The more food there is, the more people there will be. The emergence of new agricultural tools is the key to population growth.

"Uther, reward him with three gold royals."

Under the player's eager gaze, Karen said to Uther that this invention that improves people's livelihood is worthy of encouragement.

Karen hopes that players can do more good things like this instead of thinking of bad ideas all day long. It seems that Lyle needs to guide them well. This novice mentor needs to take more responsibilities, and it is time to recruit more players.

"Three golden dragons?"

Uther was stunned for a moment. Is this thing worth so much?

Although he was confused, Uther still took out three golden dragons and handed them to [I Love Surfing the Internet]. When the player saw the three golden dragons in his hand, his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

After a lot of random thanks and praises, [I Love Surfing the Internet] jumped away like a madman, ready to show off to his friends, and he would become the richest man among the players!
Before this, the most money the players had was just a few silver eagles, which they earned by working day and night to help build houses.

As for him, he found a blueprint on the Internet and exchanged it for three gold dragons!

[I love surfing the Internet] I am so happy just thinking about it. I am sure that silly guy [天狗不是狗] will be envious!

“Is this plow so important?”

Uther was still puzzled. He was not from a peasant family, but a poor noble. Although he was poor, he was not so poor that he needed to farm. So he really didn't understand agriculture. He only knew how to divide a piece of land and let people farm it.

Obviously, the real natives did not realize the value of this thing. There is no way, this is the limitation of the times.

Although food has always been important, for the nobles and rulers, it is nothing more than a question of how much tax to collect and how many serfs to have responsible for farming.

They never look down. As long as the taxes are paid, the nobles will not care about the lives of the common people.

A light plow that is not easy to use has been used for thousands of years without any improvement, which shows that society neglects agricultural tools.

The numb serfs would not even summarize any experience. No matter how much they planted, they were exploited layer by layer, and in the end all they had left was just enough to sustain their lives. Why should they work hard for the noble masters?
"It's more important than you think. I don't know if it can increase food production, but it will definitely save a lot of manpower and animal power."

Granny rushed to answer. He had just been beating his chest and stamping his feet, wishing that he hadn't improved this thing himself.

It was obvious that he was very coveting the three golden dragons. Moreover, a craftsman's intuition told him that the value of this thing was definitely far more than three golden dragons. This "Blood King" was really good at getting rid of people!
“It’s quite important for agriculture.”

Karen nodded. Compared with Uther, who was in a higher position, it was obvious that Granny, a professional craftsman, knew more. No wonder many reforms that were representative of the times were initiated spontaneously by the craftsmen.

"That's great."

Although he still didn't understand, since Lord Cullen and Granny Oak had said so, Uther chose to believe it.

Although the camp’s supplies are still sufficient, apart from the harvest from hunting and fishing, all food and other things have to be purchased.

Uther hadn't seen a single profit from the camp's development. The money he'd earned from selling resources had been spent on buying food and recruiting new people, leaving only a little for emergencies.

The only large amount of income I have received these days is probably the "windfall" I got from looting those abandoned camps on the way back.

And the money would probably be spent soon, because the camp was expanding faster than he thought, and everything was in short supply.

If food self-sufficiency can be achieved quickly, the pressure on the camp will be greatly reduced, especially now that food has become more expensive, and food self-sufficiency has become increasingly important.

"Let's not talk about that for now, Granny. Now it's your turn to prove that you are worth three gold royals."

Karen looked at Granny Oak and said directly.

Although Granny has demonstrated his ability and knowledge from some details, whether he is just talking big or has real skills will have to be proven through his actions.

"It's three gold royals a month."

Granny Oak corrected Karen's statement in a low voice, making it seem as if he had sold himself for three gold royals.

Although they knew that Karen was of noble status, dwarves were naturally carefree and didn't feel too much of a barrier.

Dwarves don't actually have much hostility towards vampires, and vampires don't have much interest in dwarves either. In fact, in history, no dwarf has ever been converted into a vampire.

It's really speechless to say, the appearance of dwarves really doesn't conform to the aesthetics of vampires, and dwarves are naturally thick-skinned and sloppy, literally smelly and hard. Whenever there is a choice, vampires will stay away from dwarves and will never choose to suck the blood of dwarves.

There was a reason why Karen became friends with the then "Dragon Slayer" Golgore, the "High King of the Dwarves". The Mountain Kingdom was one of the few countries that had no conflict with the Blood Empire. The two countries even joined forces several times to deal with the green-skinned orcs in the God's Spine Mountains. The friendship between Karen and Golgore was forged at that time.

Sadly, the man has passed away, but Karen gave a speech at his funeral.

"Let me show you my skills. Just this kind of plow. If I have a few carpenters who can make the brackets and wheels, I can easily make you five or six a day. This is because your blacksmith shop is too simple, which greatly reduces my work efficiency."

Granny Oak took out the hammer he carried with him, with runes flashing on it. The dwarf looked particularly suitable standing in front of the furnace and anvil, as if he was born to stand there. Although he was short, it did not prevent him from using larger tools. Dwarves generally have a certain resistance to fire, as if they were born for the furnace.

"Fighting this is not very valuable. We need you to forge weapons and armor."

Karen shook his head. If it was just for the plow and other farm tools, there was no need to spend a lot of money to hire Granny Oak. Ag could do it just as well. Although he was not skilled yet, he would get proficient over time. Everything works like this, practice makes perfect.

"Humph, you think I want to fight with farm tools? I just saw that you were short of farm tools. I'm much better at fighting with armor and weapons."

Granny blew his beard, held a hammer, and stood in front of the anvil and furnace. He looked extremely confident, as if he had returned to his own territory. He would fight back against anyone who questioned him.

"Lord Karen, we don't have enough iron."

Uther suddenly interjected that there was still a great shortage of iron in the camp, and that making weapons and armor was not as high a priority as farming tools for the time being.
