If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Sig Town.

Roman arrived here for 249 days.

He received the second batch of slaves sent by Scarhead.

The quality of this batch of slaves is much better than the last time.

It seems that his warning worked.

Even so, Roman still felt that many slaves died on the way.

But Scarhead did not admit it, and he had no evidence.

"You have to raise the price for us this time." Scarface looked flattering.

Last time they were testing the waters, worried that there would be problems, and the slaves they brought were all defective. When they encountered special circumstances, they threw all the slaves down and ran away at the speed of light.

This time, the reliability of Sig Town was confirmed, and all the goods brought were good.

The son of Serin did not pay in advance, and if he did not raise the price, he would not make any profit.

Roman stared at Scarface for a moment, and then said, "One slave is 80 kilograms of salt. If you can bring me better, more, and higher-quality slaves, I will give you as much as you want."

This slave trade route is extremely fragile and will break if it encounters a little trouble.

Scarhead was not a legal merchant recognized by the nobles. He was an illegal person who risked his head to do business on the land.

If the profit was not high, he would not come next time.

"I hope our friendship will last forever!" Scarface's smile became even bigger.

Unlike those land nobles who were calculative, the young lord in front of him was extremely generous and did not exclude them at all.

As usual, the guys who came from pirates could not get so much cheap and good salt in the inland.

Roman knew what he was doing. He was helping the pirates and providing them with living supplies. Their strength would only be used for robbery.

But Roman didn't care. He wanted to compete with everyone in speed, and the pirates were not even the protagonists on the runway.

This batch of slaves was quickly counted. There were more than last time, about 400.

They had seven transport ships converted from Arctic warships. The hull was narrow and they were rowing sailboats. The specially made longboats came and went like the wind.

But the speed does not mean there is no risk. Sooner or later, the boat will capsize in the ditch, which is why the trade route is fragile.

Once a war breaks out with others, Scarhead will have to throw a few slaves overboard, otherwise he will not have time to paddle at full speed.

In this regard, Roman does not want them to encounter any twists and turns or any complications more than Scarhead does.

After they got supplies in the town of Seg, they left with more than 30,000 kilograms of salt.

According to the convention, the newly arrived slaves were kept for three days to see the situation, and then further occupational divisions were made based on the situation.

Within two days.

Daken returned with the merchants.

They still had those broken ships, but fortunately, the transportation capacity was still there.

During this time, Daken successively brought back more than 200 lambs, more than 400 piglets, thousands of chickens, and even dozens of calves and foals to the town of Seg.

His work attitude is excellent. I just hope that one day I can get merchant ships and guards from Roman.

He also contacted a noble who raised oxen in a certain territory, and the price has been negotiated. He will be able to bring in 40 to 50 oxen and dairy cows in a while.

The price of oxen is not high.

Dairy cows are a little more expensive, requiring 8 silver coins, and the freight and manpower are not included.

However, Roman's farm has not been built yet, so he can only temporarily build a fence on the grass to keep the livestock.

During this period, Roman specially selected piglets and lambs for castration.

His technique is quick and neat, and he can castrate a piglet in more than ten seconds.

Yaki visited the whole process, and Roman told him the benefits of castrating livestock, that the growth time of 8 months can be shortened to 6 months, the weight of more than 100 kilograms will increase to 120 to 30 kilograms, and the quality of pork will be better, and more lard can be boiled.

Yaki had never heard of this knowledge, but he believed it.

He had an excellent memory and wrote down all the breeding knowledge that Roman told him.

This made Roman worry less, and he liked Yaki more and more.

He felt that Yaki was not much worse than Jimmy in terms of learning.

But Jimmy was still a child and had not grown up, while Yaki was already 17 or 18 years old. He was mature in all aspects. His shortcoming was that he had the ability to execute, but his potential was insufficient.

Of course, he could definitely take on the big responsibility now.

Roman was very busy during this period, mainly because of iron smelting.

It was too difficult to train a group of qualified iron smelters.

This process seemed complicated, but it was not simple at all.

Roman guided them throughout the process and took them to make iron and stir steel many times, but every time he asked, he still didn't know anything and was extremely illiterate.

In the end, Roman calmed down instead.

They were just a bunch of idiots anyway, why should he be angry with them.

Take it slow, there is no way to make higher demands on them.

He did everything himself, presided over the iron smelting throughout the process, and the output was still there.

Three thousand kilograms of steel were smelted in the past few days.

The blacksmith shed was expanded for the second time, and seven hydraulic forging hammers were built. The huge water wheels rotated day and night, driving the forging hammers to strike back and forth, otherwise it would not be able to meet Roman's requirements for steel equipment.

Two hundred blacksmith apprentices were half naked, sweating profusely, forging steel into shape with power hammers.

Among them, Lax and a blacksmith named Ruto were particularly fast.

Those qualified plate armors were basically hammered out by the two of them.

During this period of steelmaking in full swing.

After this period of intense mining, dust-sealed crystal balls were dug out from the coal mine and iron mine. Such crystal balls often contain some extraordinary resources.

This made Roman ecstatic.

He had been here for more than half a year, but the number of extraordinary resources he collected was extremely scarce.

Generally speaking, the richer the resources and the more diverse the mineral veins, the greater the probability of the appearance of dust-sealed crystal balls.

The quarry and salt mine obviously did not meet this condition. The mineral veins were barren and there were not many associated organisms.

Roman could not wait to have them brought up.

The salt-sealed crystal balls broke when knocked, and the coal-sealed crystal balls were not that hard. Only the iron-sealed crystal balls needed special means to be taken out.

Roman spent some time to take out the resources sealed inside.

After knocking open the coal-sealed crystal ball, a ray of blue light was released from the crack.

Roman was refreshed!

After gradually peeling off the black coal layer, a sapphire with a blue luster appeared in front of Roman. After being exposed to the air, the sapphire with a bright light quickly subsided, but this crystal clear gem was still full of charm, of extremely high quality, pure and flawless.

"Good, good! Ruby increases physical fitness, sapphire increases wisdom!" Roman was extremely happy.

Although compared with the knights of war, sapphire is more suitable for witches and others to wear.

After all, for ordinary people, sapphire can at most help them restore their spirits and concentrate.

But Roman has a great demand for such resources.

The appearance of this gem means that he can improve the [skills] of the apostle.

In other words, the appearance of these resources means that he can finally use the cultivation system of "Noah's Ark"!

By consuming resources, it is used to improve the strength of his apostle panel.

He worked hard to farm for half a year.

Cultivating land, building roads, cutting trees, burning bricks, and mining!

How many hardships and difficulties there are.

Until today!

Roman can finally say with pride that he has finally unlocked the correct way to play the game!
