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

"Go get Morey back."

Roman said to everyone.

Seth objected: "Sir, are you serious? There are wars going on everywhere right now."

"He helped me a lot," Roman nodded, "I can't abandon him."

The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat dull.

In the past, wars were unavoidable and necessary for development. All foreign expansion had to go through those things.

But this time it's not, this time it's Roman's personal thoughts.

"This is not something that one person can do." Dick said, "Roman, even a whole team of knights can't do it."

Bucks Highland has been trapped for a long time. Lord Owen's prestige in that land is very high, and the people are willing to support him.

The armies of Archduke Split Armor were in a stalemate there.

You can't hit it in, but no one can get out.

The biggest problem is that they don't know the specific situation there, so they are very likely to return without success, and the march will take too long.

"Then send more people!" Roman said.

Everyone looked at each other and realized Roman's determination.

"Will you regret it?" Jet suddenly said.

"Are you talking about one year from now or ten years from now?" Roman replied, "I will regret it after one year, but I won't regret it after ten years."

"Then you have great foresight." Jet nodded.

"Then how many people are you going to send?"

"This is up to you. How many people are appropriate to send?"

"Two infantry brigades?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"not enough."

"Add other arms."

"Gather a thousand people, the more the better."

"So follow some heavily armed soldiers to avoid accidents."

"Not just a few, most of this team must be heavily armed soldiers." Dick said, "They have the best physical fitness. They can pull long bows, carry heavy shields, and hold spears."

"But this is our most elite unit!" Green said immediately, "If they can't come back, do you know how terrible it will be?"

"That's the problem!" said Dick.

"Green, you should understand that we are not asking them to die, but to make them come back alive, we have to send elites to ensure that they can come back - at least most of them can come back!"

Roman looked at the discussion and suddenly said: "Follow Dick's method."

After he made the decision, he asked again: "Who is going?"

"I'll do it!" Dick volunteered.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Jett is the chief instructor of the army, while Aaron and Green are a bit immature.

Only Dick is the most suitable, as he has the most experience in leading troops in combat.

…

The troops Roman needed were quickly assembled.

There are a thousand people in total, all elite veterans.

Six hundred heavy men, three hundred and fifty archers, and fifty scout riders.

But fortunately, the training of new recruits is gradually getting on track, and there is no need for veterans to train with them.

This time they carried more than a month's supply of food and fodder and corresponding baggage convoys.

Roman also delivered them a lot of gold and silver and asked them to buy grain and grass along the way to serve as military rations.

It is now the end of summer, the highest temperature has been avoided, but the temperature is still a bit hot.

Those soldiers were fine, they had undergone such training in the military camp.

Sometimes I bring enough dry food, survive and train in the wild, adapt to cross-country ability, and return to the military camp in three to five days. I am very adaptable.

"This is the first time Duota has sent troops to fight with you. Please pay more attention to him." Roman said to Dick.

Duota is at the same level as the captain, but he commands very few troops.

All the scouts combined were less than two hundred.

They are well-educated, agile and good at running. They can ride and shoot with short bows when necessary. They can dismount as archers and infantrymen and are very flexible.

"I will," said Dick.

This is an expedition and a training.

Dick has great confidence in this army. It has both long-range and close combat capabilities. It can resist and fight. There is nothing to be afraid of.

To put it bluntly, as long as you don't encounter extraordinary troops and large-scale cavalry, even infantry sweeping across the entire land is not difficult.

"Protect yourselves. If you die, I will avenge you."

Dick nodded silently, dying in battle was the worst case scenario.

As long as they don't provoke others, and no one dares to provoke them, it would be a joke that the entire army would be annihilated.

Everyone got on board. Will disembark downstream and head to Buckland along the Black Iron Road,

Roman suddenly felt disgusted with the mountains blocking the front.

If we could cut through mountains, build bridges, and connect to land, there would be no need to be so troublesome every time the army travels.

But this is the long-term plan.

On the last day of summer, Roman watched his men drift away.

There is no right or wrong in this matter.

He did what he was supposed to do.

All he had to do was give an order, and those soldiers would die for something that had nothing to do with them.

Because if the emperor is insulted, the minister will die!

They have to prove that with their lives.

A qualified monarch should have credibility.

Credibility is the hardest to establish these days.

Roman was ready to tell all the residents the details of the operation and spread them to everyone's ears.

This can enhance his prestige and reputation.

The promises of their rulers were never fulfilled.

I will protect you even if I say I will protect you, I will protect you even if I run to the end of the world.

If I say I want to kill your whole family, I will kill your whole family. Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will kill your whole family.

…

Early autumn.

High temperatures are back.

Roman couldn't sleep all night because of the heat.

He was tortured so much that he had to stop most production.

Don't plant crops.

Don't build houses.

All of you go find a cool place to lie down!

Working under the sun like this is really deadly.

Roman knew that the temperature outside was not so exaggerated, but it was too much here.

Just get through this period of time.

So, this year, the river banks were suddenly crowded with people, and only the river would have a breeze.

But seeing them so leisurely, Roman began to get restless again, and always wanted them to do something.

Simply take out the fishing nets and let them fish on a large scale.

Natural resources cannot be wasted.

Although the surrounding wild animals were almost killed by him, there were still fish in the river.

Catch them for me!

These fish are also a source of meat.

The people did not dislike this order.

Fish is also a harvest.

I am used to being poor and hungry, so I like to harvest.

With so many people watching, the probability of drowning is very small.

Besides, going to the river can cool the body and relieve the heat, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Roman has long opened up fishing and hunting rights.

However, when they can fill their stomachs, few people are willing to go to the river to catch fish or go to the mountains to hunt.

Their masters do not deny them meat. Basically, they can eat a piece of meat every day, and they can eat meat as much as they want during celebrations.

Aren’t carefully raised pigs and sheep much more delicious than those fat-free game?

This fishing activity lasted for ten days.

A total of five or six thousand people, hundreds of rafts, and a dozen small boats were organized.

A total of about 150,000 kilograms of fish were caught.

Although the mesh of the fishing net is quite large, it cannot withstand a larger fishing range.

The winding rivers, which are a total of hundreds of kilometers long, crisscross and spread across the basin, flow through some swamps, and are very rich in aquatic resources.

When everyone was still reluctant to leave, Roman saw the temperature drop and sent them back to work.

Wait until this time next year.

The most efficient way to squeeze the labor force was to successfully get through the hottest days.

Roman began to vigorously promote the development plan of Origin City.

During this period, the scale of the construction team has expanded very quickly, with nearly 1,500 construction workers doing the plastering.

Because Roman's demand for infrastructure is too great.

Brick houses are just the first step, and roads must be paved later.

All residential areas are connected through solid and flat stone roads, and traffic is unimpeded, forming a complete and clean town.

Roman's development plan is dynamic.

Because the specific process must be planned according to the current labor force.

He expects to build the prototype of the entire Origin City's roads before the end of autumn.

And consolidate the infrastructure of Coal and Iron Town to facilitate subsequent immigration.

For this reason, Roman asked Aaron and Green to migrate more than 3,000 people from Kant Territory in early autumn.
