Lord of All: I Created the Eternal Immortal Realm
Chapter 53 The Territory on the Right Track
"Brother Lord, your territory is now larger than many cities in our world's old era, yet it only has a few buildings, making it seem too vast. Why don't you build more?"
Xia Dou looked up at Ye Yu and asked, somewhat puzzled.
Ye Yu smiled and explained, "I also want to build more buildings, but during the apprentice lord assessment, the number of buildings in the territory is limited by the territory level. A Tier 1 territory can only build four territorial buildings. After that, for each level the territory is upgraded, the quota increases by four."
Xia Dou asked again, "Lord, can't you even build it yourself?"
Ye Yu: "Building your own is certainly possible. However, self-built territory buildings cannot be upgraded with star crystals, nor do they provide any attribute bonuses!"
Xia Dou suggested, "Lord, although self-built territory buildings cannot be upgraded or have attribute bonuses, you can build some houses for ordinary residents to live in."
Ye Yu shook his head. "I also want to build some houses for ordinary residents, but there is no timber around my territory, nor are there any residents who know how to build. I'll wait until I have enough timber and recruit residents who know how to build."
Hearing this, Xia Dou didn't say anything more.
Suddenly remembering something, Ye Yu asked, "Xia Dou, how many spirit marrow crystals does your Dragon Bone Village still have in reserve?"
Xia Dou answered truthfully: "Lord, the boss said that our Dragon Bone Village's reserves of spirit marrow crystals are less than 50 catties."
After a pause, he continued, "The boss said that next time he can only offer a maximum of 40 catties of spirit marrow crystals to trade with you, because we need to keep some for ourselves. The energy crystals consumed by the shielding towers in our Dragon Bone Village to shield against the Devouring Beasts are spirit marrow crystals."
At this point, Xia Dou seemed to remember something and added, "Lord, the boss asked me to thank you on her behalf. After the Awakened Ones of Source Potential in our Dragon Bone Village practiced the techniques you sold and consumed the spiritual liquid you sold, everyone's strength increased several times over."
Ye Yu smiled and said, "Go back and tell your boss not to be polite. We're just getting what we need."
Xia Dou nodded, a look of regret suddenly appearing on her delicate round face. "Brother Lord, it's a pity I can't bring anyone with me. If I could, I would definitely bring everyone from our village to join you."
"Although there are monsters here, it is many times better than our world. The endless starry sea is simply a legendary fairyland. Here, humans do not scheme against each other or deceive each other."
Ye Yu shook his head. "Xia Dou, although your world is a post-apocalyptic world, the Endless Star Sea may not be better than your world."
"What you see now is just the surface. After the trainee lord assessment is over, the trainee lords who pass the assessment will become official lords. Once they become official lords, they will be able to move their own territories."
"At that time, conflicts will definitely break out among the human lords; after all, wherever there are people, there is conflict!"
"Besides, there are no laws in the Endless Star Sea. Without laws, society descends into chaos and disorder, and human desires amplify infinitely. Here, the strong rule, which is not much different from your post-apocalyptic world!"
At this point, Ye Yu changed the subject, "Xia Dou, I still have some things to take care of. If you want to cultivate, you can go to my lord's manor to cultivate. If you don't want to cultivate, let Mai Duo show you around."
Xia Dou said sweetly, "Lord, you should go ahead and do what you need to do."
Ye Yu nodded to the two beautiful girls, then leaped onto the back of the Starhound Silver standing beside him, and rode it towards the [Divine Weapon Forging Workshop].
……
A moment later, Ye Yu entered the [Divine Weapon Forging Room]. He handed over the car design blueprints and modern technology books that Xia Dou had brought to Ou Tie, the head of the [Heavenly Crafts Department]. He left 100 star crystals and asked Ou Tie to try to combine modern technology with cultivation. Then he rode away on his Starhound, Silver.
……
After a while, Ye Yu rode the Starhound Silver to the West City.
"Greetings, Your Lordship!"
When Ye Yu rode his Starhound Silver to the Spirit Field built in the west of the city, more than a dozen farmers who were watering the rice seedlings in the Spirit Field immediately stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to respectfully bow to Ye Yu.
"No need for formalities!"
Ye Yu waved his hand.
Seeing that all the farmers were covered in sweat and their clothes were soaked, he immediately said gently, "You've all worked hard. Take a rest if you're tired."
Seeing how considerate Ye Yu was of them, all the farmers' loyalty increased by a few points.
They thanked Ye Yu, then sat down to rest.
Looking at the dozen or so farmers sitting on the bluestone ground with their simple and honest faces, Ye Yu was filled with emotion.
Because he ordered last night that the spirit fields be irrigated with spiritual liquid every day, at least twice a day.
Therefore, these farmers would go to the sacred spring next to his lord's mansion to collect the sacred liquid every morning and evening.
The spirit field is more than 10 kilometers away from the spirit spring next to the lord's mansion. If the farmers set off from the spirit field to collect spirit liquid every day, it would be more than 20 kilometers round trip.
These farmers walk more than 40 kilometers every day, making two round trips.
Besides the time spent walking, these farmers also have to water the fields, spending at least 10 hours a day exposed to the sun.
In other words, within his territory, the workload of the farmers who cultivate the land is roughly the same as that of the miners who collect meteorites.
Endless Starry Sea Rule: Residents recruited using territory buildings have an initial loyalty of 70.
According to the Protoss, as long as the trainee lord or the lord ensures that his subjects are well-fed and warmly housed, the subjects will work hard for their lord and generally will not betray him.
but...
Ye Yu knew that the residents under his command were not a bunch of cold data, but a group of flesh and blood people with their own emotions and desires, so he did not excessively exploit the labor of the residents under his command.
Moreover, he treated the residents with gentleness and even respect.
"Although the Endless Sea of Stars has day and night, Chen Ergou leads his mining team to collect meteorites by moonlight at night."
"Logically speaking, I should be moved and happy to have residents who actively request to be '007'."
"However, this high-intensity work system is not advisable."
"It seems very necessary to develop a reasonable and humane work schedule, so that people can work when they should work and rest when they should rest."
With this in mind, Ye Yu made a decision.
He decided that once he returned to the lord's manor, he would devise a reasonable and humane work schedule.
Of course, Ye Yu also knew that there were many areas where he could not do things perfectly.
After all, he arranges everything by himself, so it's impossible for him to consider all aspects.
Sometimes, he even acts on a whim.
Shaking off the distracting thoughts, Ye Yu took out a Dreamy Star Ring from his inventory and tossed it gently. The Dreamy Star Ring landed steadily on the right hand of the planting team leader, Tian Gouwa.
Seeing Tian Gouwa's puzzled look, Ye Yu, sitting on the back of the Starhound Silver, explained, "Elder Tian, the ring I gave you is a Sumeru Space Ring. It has an independent space inside that can be used to store items. You can use it after binding it with your blood."
"I put four large wooden barrels in my spatial ring, each of which can hold a hundred catties of spiritual liquid."
"From now on, when you go to the spirit spring next to my lord's manor to collect spirit liquid, you can fill 4 buckets at once. 4 buckets of spirit liquid are enough for you to irrigate the spirit fields for 4 days, so you won't have to work so hard every day."
"And you can go get the spirit liquid by yourself; the others can wait for you here."
There are two reasons why Tian Gouwa was given a space ring.
First: It facilitates Tian Gouwa's transportation of the spiritual liquid;
Second: It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality. He rewarded all the other officials in the Eternal Immortal Realm with a spatial ring. If he didn't give one to Tian Gouwa, even if Tian Gouwa didn't say anything, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Tian Gouwa stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Lord!"
Ye Yu waved his hand, "No need for formalities."
After speaking, he looked at the spirit field beside him. Seeing that all the rice in the field had sprouted ears, Ye Yu was very satisfied.
It was worth the great expense he paid to irrigate the spiritual field with spiritual liquid.
Originally, rice takes at least seven days to mature, but after being irrigated with the spiritual liquid, Ye Yu felt that the rice's maturation time was shortened by up to half.
He felt that the rice could be harvested tomorrow.
Ye Yu turned his gaze away from the rice paddies and rode away on his Starhound, Silver.
After the farmers saw Ye Yu riding the Starhound Silver away into the distance, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Our lord is so kind. He not only makes sure we have enough to eat and warm shelter, but he also teaches us cultivation techniques."
"Yes! Our lord is truly too good. In my previous life, I lived for 66 years in my world and lived through the reigns of three emperors, but none of them were as good as our lord."
Our lord is not only kind and gentle, but also respectful. It is an honor for this old man to be resurrected by him, and it is equally an honor to have a master like him!
"That's right! Back in my world, I was a tenant farmer. Every year I worked hard to grow crops, and no matter how good the harvest was, 80% of the harvest would be taken away by corrupt officials. I ate chaff and drank thin gruel to stay alive. In years with bad harvests, I even ate tree bark."
Now that we've been resurrected by the lord, we eat delicious dog meat every meal, and there's a skilled chef who cooks for us.
This kind of life, in our world, is only enjoyed by noble gentlemen. I often wonder if I'm living in a dream, and sometimes I'm even afraid that when I wake up, the beautiful dream will be shattered!
"I didn't think that much about it. I only know that I was resurrected by the lord. He has been incredibly kind to me. I have no other skills, only strength. I've decided to dedicate my life to the lord to repay his great kindness!"
"Gentlemen, the soldiers of the Spirit Dog Legion can fight for our lord, the 'Heavenly Crafts Department' can forge weapons for him, the 'Heavenly Garment Department' can make clothes for him, the 'Mining Team' can gather resources for him, and we, the 'Planting Team,' cannot let our lord down either. Let's all get to work!"
Tian Gouwa glanced at everyone and smiled.
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, walked to the meteorite barrel, scooped up the spiritual liquid from the barrel with a meteorite ladle, and poured it onto the grains and peach trees planted in the spiritual field.
……
the other side.
Sitting on the back of the Starhound, Ye Yu pondered silently.
"My territory includes myself, Xia Dou (a special resident), and 41 Starhounds, totaling 139 residents."
"Though small, it has all the vital organs. I've already set up the framework: the Spirit Dog Legion, the Mining Team, the Planting Team, the Celestial Crafts Department, the Celestial Garment Department, and the Logistics Department. Each department has a clear division of labor and performs its own duties!"
"Thinking about it this way, my territory can be considered to have officially gotten on the right track."
"Next, we just need to wait for the crops to ripen, recruit more residents, and begin large-scale construction and development of our territory!"
Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn't help but tell his Starhound Silver to speed up.
