As soon as Richard came up with this idea, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
The reason why the Long Eagle Territory was ignored by the surrounding territories was, on the one hand, because this place was too remote, located in the area between the forest and the mountains.
On the other hand, no one had discovered the various minerals here.
With these two layers of buffs, plus the various extraordinary creatures here, including those in the forest, the mountains, and the swamps.
In general, there is no need to come here at all.
That's why everyone knows that this place is barren and is not interested in it.
The quality of life of the people here is not good, the development is not good, the people are stupid, stupid and lazy, and all kinds of vicious cycles.
So there are fewer and fewer people, low fertility rate, backward sanitary conditions, and soaring infant mortality rate.
Under such conditions, if Richard didn't come to the Long Eagle Territory, I'm afraid it won't take decades. If there is no new lord to take over here, and no new slaves are bought by the lord, the natives are afraid that they will become extinct.
Richard's arrival can be said to have curbed the process of this vicious cycle.
But even so, after Richard's vigorous reform and development, the territory with only four or five thousand people bought slaves and even attracted immigrants.
After a few months, it barely broke through 10,000.
Twelve thousand people are really the number of two or three large villages in the north.
Even some large villages have tens of thousands of people in one village.
It's not easy to do anything with this number of people.
If he wants to do something, he must have more people.
The demographic dividend is a big reason why his motherland has developed so fast in the future.
Of course, on this basis, people's bravery, unity, diligence, wisdom, courage and other"seven nine three" virtues have also played a more critical role.
For comparison, let's take a very simple example. The third brother is also a country with a large population, but the result is a mess.
And his motherland in his previous life, in just a few decades, has developed from a backward and barren country to the most advanced, safest and most convenient country in the world, precisely because of these reasons.
So as a person who has experienced it, Richard is very clear about the benefits of the demographic dividend.
He is very eager for more population.
As for the character of the people, he has a way to make them have good character by nature, but he believes that different systems will give birth to different customs.
This is an ideological problem.
In this regard, Richard has his own considerations.
From the legal system to the guidance of the people's hearts, the enlightenment of the people's wisdom, and the direction of knowledge teaching, Richard has been doing all these things simultaneously.
Today, the Long Eagle Territory is already a fully operational machine.
He dare not guarantee that this machine is perfect, but at least he can guarantee the general direction of this machine, and there is no problem.
The rest is to add fuel to it. The new population is the fuel needed by this machine.
The operation mode of the machine has already had a framework, so these people come in as fuel, and they will naturally generate power according to the needs of this machine.
If you just want population, Richard's idea at the beginning is very simple, that is, he has resources, a large number of salt mines and iron mines, and he doesn't even need to use iron mines for the time being. The salt mines alone can meet the market demand and arouse their desire.
In this case, he can have as many slaves as he wants in theory.
But now the problem is that there are not enough slaves in the market for him to buy!
Think about it, with the sanitary conditions and living conditions of this era, how can the population increase?
At present, I am afraid that except for Richard here, the overall population of the entire continent is declining.
The population of the continent in the Middle Ages was not always in a declining stage.
In the early Middle Ages, the population of the continent should tend to be stable, with intermittent growth.
When it just entered the middle period, there was a substantial increase, followed by a sharp decline.
Richard didn't know what stage it was in.
Moreover, the continent of this world, due to the existence of various alien races and various extraordinary creatures, whether it would have a certain impact on the population growth rate, this is a big question mark.
At least from Richard's purchase experience and the difficulty of those caravans in acquiring slaves, it is speculated that the population is indeed a bit small.
So Richard is a little anxious now.
Obviously, he has the strength to train an extraordinary army, but it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
If he is given a population of tens of millions now, he can raise hundreds of thousands of extraordinary soldiers and establish an extraordinary army.
He didn't say anything and directly got up and completely fucked up this world.
Unfortunately, he now has a population of just over 10,000.
Richard rubbed the blue veins on his forehead with a headache.
At this time, Cinderella walked in.
Seeing Richard's appearance, she came up meekly and massaged Richard's head.
Feeling the slender and soft fingers on his temples, Richard could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up and hugged Cinderella, pressing her down on the sand table.
……
After venting, Richard finally felt that his anger had subsided a lot.
He instantly felt the feeling of Liang Kun being quenched.
It was more powerful than herbal tea!
Afterwards, Richard took Cinderella to take a bath, and then rode the unicorn to the field.
The soybeans were already more than ten centimeters high, and they were growing very well. It was obvious that there was another bumper harvest.
At this time, there were still many people working in the field.
Many people were holding the plow and rake to cultivate the soil in the gaps between the bean sprouts on both sides.
In the early stage of the growth of the bean sprouts, it is necessary to cultivate the soil two or three times, on the one hand to remove the weeds in time, and on the other hand to continue to cultivate the soil to prevent lodging in the future.
It can also improve the convenience of watering and prevent the water in the ditch from not flowing out, causing artificial waterlogging.
Afterwards, Richard went to see the newly reclaimed land.
At present, those lands have only cut down the weeds and trees on the surface and burned them with fire.
However, there are more plant roots and stones underground.
If you want to build a square here, or build a road there, just let the witch come and transform the roots and stones in the soil.
But planting is not possible.
Using magic to transform can indeed eliminate stones, but the problem is that in the process of transformation, all the ingredients in it are controlled by Cinderella.
This transformation ingredient is too single and cannot make the soil nutritious and fertile.
So now there is only one way left, physical attack!
Fiercely turn over these lands, pick up stones, and make the hardened soil soft.
Sunbathe!
But it is not so easy to solve this problem.
If it were in the previous life, an excavator would be enough.
But now... he also wants an excavator!
The problem is that the system won't give it to him!
In fact, it's not that it won't give it to him, but the sky-high lord points required, how many years will it take him to develop?
If he had that much time, he would have developed industry step by step and made an excavator!
To put it bluntly, the system is teasing him!
The purpose is also to let him develop slowly step by step.
And speaking of it, even if he really gave him an excavator, he didn't have oil here, and oil was sky-high.
So back to the point, it's manpower!
While complaining in his heart, Richard instructed his men around him:
"Lindsay, call all those who have been promoted to knights! In addition, call all the knights who have been promoted from the militia camp, including Charles. Let the veterans train the new recruits!"
When Richard was training them before, he had already selected some outstanding soldiers from the veterans to serve as corporals and sergeants for the new recruits.
The corporal is the captain of a five-man team.
The sergeant is the captain of a ten-man team.
With this arrangement, the new recruits can also master the coordination of various formations in the fastest time.
Of course, the system's comprehension bonus will also make their comprehension and learning ability reach an extremely terrifying level!
Richard continued to instruct another knight:
"Stern, go inform Rod and ask him to send someone to open the warehouse and bring all those large reinforced plows to me!"
"yes!"
"Wait!"
Richard stopped Stern who was about to leave and added:
"By the way, go to the police headquarters on Third Street and find Helen, and ask him to bring a few of his knights to work! Go!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, all the knights arrived.
Richard looked at them and asked:
"Do you know how to plow the land?"
Everyone looked at each other, but nodded.
Not to mention that they had done farm work in the Duke's territory before, they had also followed Richard from the beginning all the way during this period, and they also had to learn how to do many common things.
Otherwise, even if they were supervisors, they would not know whether the workers were doing it right.
But the question is, is the shortage of manpower so severe now?
And what's strange is that even though the shortage of manpower is so severe, the militia is still in training, but those who were called over are all official knights!
This is quite intriguing!
"Very good!" Richard nodded,"See these plows behind me? These are specially made large plows, all made of high-strength materials, and some extraordinary materials are added to them, so they are guaranteed to last! (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
There are many stones under this piece of land in front of us, and there are even some huge stones. If the people are asked to do it, they may not be able to make a huge stone in a day, so you have to do it!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood Richard's intention...
So they nodded
"Lord, rest assured, I, Aman, will complete the mission!" Aman was the first to speak.
Richard immediately interrupted the rest of the people to express their loyalty:
"Stop talking nonsense and start working!"
""Yes!" Everyone shuddered and shouted quickly.
Then, they immediately rushed to the ox cart, took the plow from the cart, and started working!
Everyone quickly divided their own areas, and then began the crazy plowing mode!
The violent breath of breathing method burst out from everyone's body, one hand controlled the plow, and both feet stomped on the ground frantically, rushing forward!
Because there were too many stones underground, there was a crackling sound when the plow passed, like a tractor, and then there was green smoke slowly drifting out of the plowed soil.
Dozens of knights, like dozens of mad dragons, swept the earth!
These extraordinary knights who were supposed to be high above, now all turned into old cows, pulling the giant plow with their own flesh and plowing the earth!
If ordinary people asked them to do this, they would kill that person without hesitation.
This is simply an insult to the extraordinary! []
Using the high-ranking knights as cows is a method that only a person can think of!
Even if it is other territories, Even the great lords and kings would not dare to order them around like this!
The honor of a knight is related to the honor of the entire class.
In a narrow sense, a knight is an honorary title.
It is lower than a title, but it also belongs to the aristocratic class.
But in a broad sense, whether it is a baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, or even a king, they can all call themselves knights!
You can also say that they defend the honor of the knights.
In fact, many dukes are also high-level extraordinary knights themselves.
Asking a knight to plow the land and do farm work is a last resort for the poor knights to make a living, but even so, they use oxen to plow the land.
How can you think of yourself as an ox?
What's more, it's asked by others?
However, these people's loyalty and obedience to Richard are in their bones.
Not to mention asking them to plow the land like oxen, even if they are asked to pick up manure, they will definitely jump down without saying a word.
Life and death, honor and disgrace are all indifferent, we just do it when the lord orders!
The main thing is obedience!
""Hahahaha, what a joy! What a joy!" Charles laughed as he plowed the field madly.
"Charles, be careful not to get the ashes in your mouth!"Sinton laughed.
"fart,���I can't even eat dust! I'm not as good as you in fighting, but you can't do it in plowing the land!" Charles said proudly.
In fact, the two of them were running neck and neck at this time.
Charles' breathing method was the Violent Ape Breathing Method, which focused on being strong and explosive, and no stone could stop him.
Hinton's breathing method was the Viper Breathing Method. Although he couldn't compare to the Violent Ape in terms of strength, the Viper was good at flexibility, but its explosive power was also great. In addition, his realm was originally one level higher than Charles', which made up for the lack of strength.
"What? You want to compete with me?"Sinton said with a smile
"Of course I want to compete! Are you scared?"Charles laughed
"You want to earn back that favor, right? Okay, I'll give you this chance!" Hinton smiled and looked to the other side,"Helen, are you coming?"
Helen was already a little behind at this time, and she shook her head immediately when she heard this:
"You want me to owe you another favor? No way!"
Charles said excitedly:
"Then let’s compete to see who can finish his area first!"
""Okay!"
With Hinton's response, the two of them became even crazier.
The others were plowing the fields while watching the two's game.
But after just two minutes, Hinton suddenly stopped.
"What? No more?"Charles laughed.
Hinton ignored him, dropped the plow and went back to a place about ten meters behind him, carefully dug a few times, then suddenly showed ecstasy on his face, and shouted to Richard:
"Lord! There are good things here! Elemental Mud!"
Charles, who was standing on the side, was just happy that he had earned a favor, but now he was upset.
Helen lost a favor, but she won a great achievement!
Why did the favor she won not seem so good anymore?
